I have been using Z3C for more than 2 years. I have 64gb MicroSD card and I'd like to get rid of storage problems by using this card as internal data storage.
Currently I'm using OmniRom and Settings > Storage shows that I'm using 13,25GB out of 16,00 GB available space.
I don't want to buy a new phone. I have installed TWRP as well, if it helps.
Any suggestions?
if you already root why aren't you use exposed & if i'm not mistake on custom rom (start on MM) the adoptable storage is work (though not on all custom rom available)
i haven't tried on Omni & CR Droid rom since my z3c docomo always had error & softbricked everytime i flash those rom, so i'm stuck on Existence MM+Exposed framework (Marsmallow SD Fix + XInternalSD Module) most of my apps goes external now

Hi!
I've got this weird problem with my phone. My phone has got 8GB of internal storage, and a 2GB Micro SD card.
Whenever I install a custom rom, it seems to restrict the 8GB of internal storage for me, so that I can only use the 2 Gigs on my SD card, and then another 2 Gigs of the internal storage.
Also, can I just remove everything on both the card, and the internal storage now where I'm gonna put another rom on it? Or would that mean flashing and rooting again?
Thanks!

Did you tried to unmount,and mount your internal memory?
About which custom rom are you talkin?
in CM9 Go to settings, storage, press the Menu button, and change the storage option to use Internal Storage. Reboot.
In CM7, go to Cyanogenmod settings->Application->use internal storage. Reboot
I had this problem for a while too but it was remedied quite easily Cheers.

Hi folks,
I am a new android user. I have Galaxy Note 1 and it is not rooted.
Here're the specs of my phone:
Model GT-N7000
Android v4.1.2
Kernel v 3.0.31-906407
[email protected] #3
It has a 16 GB external SD card + default internal USB storage. It was working fine till a few hours back. Then Gallery stopped opening and Camera wouldn't start either. There is nothing shown in MyFiles folder. I have checked using ES File Explorer as well and no data is shown in the directories.
External SD card is working fine. But Internal USB card does not get mounted. There is > 500 mb in internal memory. I've moved most of the apps to SD card and removed unnecessary ones.
Here's the break up of 'Storage':
Device memory
Total Space - 1.97 GB
Applications - 749MB
Available space - 560MB
USB storage
Applications - 158MB
SD card
Total space - 14.83 GB
Available space - 2.18 GB
I have cleared Gallery app - cache, rebooted but it doesn't change.
Also, I noticed that when I am trying to back up messages, it waits for external storage card. The card is inserted and mounted but the phone has stopped seeing it as active. I can mount the external SD card on my notebook though.
Can anyone please help. I am starting to get worried

If u didn't root and u didn't drop/smash your phone, it would be a software issue. You'll have to flash stock ROM via ODIN. If u did drop your phone, it could be a hardware issue and you'll have to bring it to a Samsung Service Centre.
P.S. try taking out your external sd-card, reboot and check if the problem persists.
Merry Christmas!
Smack that thanks button If I helped!

Hi,
I was using one of the nightly of CM11 and recently i updated my rom to 11-20141102-UNOFFICIAL-lbhuashan, its really good works fine, and i felt its much faster than stock rom and the nightly. Well after installing this my recovery got updated to 6.0.5.1 and PhilZ Touch 6.59.0(CWM 6.0.5.1 - PhilZ Touch 6.59.0).
But the issue came up is, i can't see my Internal SD Card, if im inserting external SD Card, its getting mounted into SDCard0.
It was like SDCard0 as internal memory and SDCard1 as External memory.
Is there anyway to mount the Internal SDCard as SDCard0 like it was before?
I dont want to change the rom because its really working fine for me.
I dont have any issue to format again if that will get worked, but i couldn't see its working..

This is not a bug its a feature to enable USB mode for PC connections. The space from internal SD has been merged into data partition.

Oh is it so?!! Its ok but some app files are getting installed to EXT SD Card, like com.android.browser, com.andrew.apollo etc.
Isn't it possible to move to the Internal SDCard itlself? May i know the benefit of merging this internal memory to data partition.
I felt like its using 8GB for the rom and apks etc and still using the external card too.
First i thought it might be used for swap area or zram, so i installed this rom by removing the external card but still..!!
Is there anyway to move the android,baidu, data etc folder to the internal memory??

No because internal memory doesnt exist. Data partition is for app installs the folders you are referring to arent the apps themselves just user files that get created on install. It actually works well for me so far so i dont mind the change but i can understand why others wouldnt.
Try MrSteves final CM11 weeklies release as this has normal file structure.
now using cm12.1 happily

Are you using SD Card as Internal Storage ?

I wish to point out some more observations:
1. You'll get a hell long time reboot if you've made your ext_SD to be used as Internal Storage.
2. Applications could crash more often resulting in freeze and auto reboot.
3. Atleast in my case Camera worked perfectly but FCs on other applications made me move back to use ext_SD as intended and NOT Internal Storage.
4. Also it messed up the MTP.
5. Lastly but the most important one: It's virtually impossible to go back to "use ext_SD as intended" from the Android itself AND formatting the card from Windows/Mac OS/Linux is messed up since the ext_SD will show its capacity as 30MB in case of a 4GB or 11.2MB in case of 2GB.
To correct this and regain it's lost capacity, I had to download the formating tool from this website (SD Association) since default formating tools preloaded on OSes will not work: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ and format using the software.
This is just my hypothesis after flashing stock at least 20+ times and doing all the trial and error.
Based on the hypothesis, further I wish to conclude, ext_SD as Internal Storage on Marshmallow is way too buggy atleast on Android One.
EDIT: I'm dong some more trial errors on different TWRPs as 2.8.6.0 treats ext_SD as ext_SD while 2.8.7.0 treats it as a normal SD.
SuperSu Beta 2.52 is confirmed to cause bootloops.
It seems u have not formatted ur sd card properly to use it as internal storage. It happened with me also. I would suggest u to format it as portable and then again format and use as internal storage.
While formatting as internal it will be stuck at 20% for long time, so don't minimize the screen let it get complete to 100%. Afterwards u will get message that it can now be used as internal storage. Now u can use camera app as intended.
For those who are experiencing random reboots, i would suggest them to use class 10 sdcard.
Hello, everyone
I am using Lenovo K3 Note, with CM 13 Installed.
Recently, I bought a new 32 GB memory card and decided to use it instead of my old 16 GB Memory Card.
After formatted the card, instead of using it as a portable storage, I decided to use it as my internal storage. But, I did not know that my internal memory would be inaccessible after that. So, I switched off my mobile and removed my external memory card. When I switched ON my device, it wouldn't let me use my internal memory as my primary storage even then. I opened ES File Explorer and it said that "sd card is not mounted". So, I wiped my ROM and flashed the same one again. It stayed the same. I even tried download CM 13 from other sites but it would not let me access my internal storage.
However, if I flash CM 12.1, with android 5.1 (duh), it worked. It showed me internal memory again and I was able to access it. But, after I flashed CM 13 again, it wouldnt let me access it again.
What do I do? Please help someone.
