Hi. I'm wondering how the heck do you move applications to the SD card on the Moto X4 (android one) on android 8.1? Not a single app I install (Pokemon GO, Discord) have the "change" button under apps and notifications->(app name)->storage... I'm honestly stumped. I can't format the sd as internal either...
Thanks.
The Moto X4 uses FBE (file based encryption) so you can not run applications off the SD. The SD can only be used for media storage.

Hello,
so, I came across the following article:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-5-0-sd-cards/
Now, I am wondering:
How exactly is external SD card storage handled on the Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen when having upgraded to Lollipop?
Can you put all apps onto an external SD card?
And does it have to be done manually for each app? Or does it happen automatically?
And what about encryption?
Does the Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen with Lollipop have an option to encrypt the external SD card storage?
Or can you only encrypt the device storage?
It would be much appreciated if someone could elaborate on this.
PS:
And could someone please tell how much device storage is left on a Lollipop updated Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen with 8 GB of device storage?
Regards
Anyone?
No, cannot move all apps to SD card...I have not tried encrypting the storage yet
As for available space, I have 3.07gb available after installing about 30 apps and caching two radio stations in slacker.
Does anyone have a working mounts2sd/link2sd/apps2sd solution for the Moto G 2014? I have a freshly formatted good quality 16Gb card with a 3gb Ext4 partition but no matter what script or app I try I can't get additional /data space. Moving apps to SD Card in Settings>Apps is completely pointless as it moves them to the internal /sdcard, not to the external one so you get absolutely zero gain in internal space. I have used mounts2sd on several older phones before but nothing recently as I've always had 32Gb phones, but now my son has this phone and he's run out of app space already! Any help would be greatly appreciated. He's running the latest Oxygen 5.0.2 ROM with Pinkman kernel iirc.
Also as an aside, is there a kernel for his phone with working s2w/dt2w?
If you downgrade 4.4 you can install xposed and obb to SD this allows you to move big game data (in sdcard0/android/obb) apps to your SD card but xposed only works on 4.4 and below

Thanks for the reply. I did look at that but I'm not a fan of the whole principle behind Xposed, plus I like Android 5.0 too much to switch back. That's why I'm looking for a working solution.
Hi,
When trying to insert a new Micro SD Card on the Moto X4 (XT1900), the option to format the card as internal stora is missing.
Have anyone faced this issue on Moto X4?
Br, Alex
Internal storage (aka, adoptable storage) is not available on devices where "Direct Boot" is enabled. See also

I personally dislike "direct boot". Hopefully a developer will find a way to disable direct boot
N00b here. How do you set global permissions to access Micro SD. No file manager allows me access to my SD Card.
Moto G5S Plus with NPS26.116-61 update.
Well , the problem I'm having is that I can't format my micro sd as internal storage. Instead, it says "Move Media". Does anyone haveing the same problem ?
Tbe X4 simply doesn't support it, because of the file based encryption. As far as I know, if anyone find a way to force disable FBE we should be able to use adoptable storage.
