Setting up adoptable storage - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have LG K8 running MM 6.0 and free memory is geting low.
I wanted to setup adoptable storage (I have 16 GB SD card) but I found out that LG didn't implement that option. So, I have two questions:
Can I setup adoptable storage through the ADB even if system doesn't have that option implemented?
If I setup adoptable storage wll I have more space for installing apps or I could use it just for media?

Move App Data to Adoptable SD, How??

Hey there, i have a problem with my h850 LG G5!
I want to move all my app data (asphalt8,...) to my adopted SD whitch i created with ADB. But when i say Migrate Data, it stops with "not enough space" but thats wrong. How can I move it without Root? IS there any other method? Does editing the build.prop with the ro.lge.adoptable_storage thing help too?
Hope you can help me fast.
Thanks in Advance!!!
What does your Storage saying?
Hi.
I've splitted the sd in 2 parts: adoptable Storage and a part as portable storage.
I can move apps to my adoptable Storage which works, but when I move asphalt, it only moves 50mb (the apk itself) and the /data for asphalt (1,2gb) stays and chills on my fu***ng internal memory. Migrating the data would fix this, but it doesn't work. It copies the full internal sd on my adoptable Storage BUT it doesn't delete it from the internal storage with the error "not enough space", which is not true because I have 12gb left on my internal storage. Now I have duplicated 2gbs on my adoptable Storage and I can't delete those. I don't want to try it again because then 8gbs are full. I tried that 3 times and in the German forum Android-Hilfe the other guys have the same problem.
Thanks.

Adoptable storage feature coming to MIUI8?

One of the features in Android 6.0 Marshmallow that hasn't gained many headlines is called flex storage or adoptable storage.
This will allow you to use external storage on your device as internal storage. - So you can buy a more affordable device with low internal storage and boost it cheaply by adding a microSD card.
Since MIUI7 totally block moving apps to SD card, will MIUI8 have this new feature?

[Q][MM+] Adoptable Storage

As all we know, android 6.0 has introduced a new feature called "Adoptable Storage", wich can let you mount your fast enough SD card as an internal storage. I think that's quite easy to use and understand for a normal android user which wont go through flashing. But the problem is I love flashing rom or patches that requires access to either storage in custom recovery ( TWRP 3.0.0-2 ). But according to my experience, when I mount SD card as internal storage, I cannot manage files on the internal storage anymore but I also cannot access to the SD card in TWRP!
My question here is, is this symtom normal or I have screwed up something I dont know?
It is normal for sony devices. On samsung phones(Maybe even others) it gets recognised as adoptable storage in TWRP. Why do you want to use adoptable stoage? Its realy buggy

Adoptive Storage Questions ?

So i picked up an LG G5 and used the adb shell method to enable Adoptive Storage and noticed if i click on an app's info under storage i can switch between Internal/external is this a normal option within Adoptive Storage as i thought it just used/see's it all as one storage unit ?
I can see that the apps ive download most are automatically put on the external SD card so what will happen when the external SD Card is full does Adoptive Storage just start using the internal ?
Also what will happen say when the next OS update comes through Android 7.0 Nougat will this remain intact after the update ?

Mixed Adoptable Storage, how to delete the internal storage partition

Hey guys, I need your help.
I did a adoptable Storage configuration a few months ago. I splitted my 128gb card, 38gb as internal storage and 80gb as portable storage. Because I'll root my g5, I want to delete the adoptable Storage partition so the portable storage is 119gb again. My g5 gives me a option to format the adoptable Storage as portable storage, but will this format my portable storage? It is almost 80gb big, I want to avoid a format, backups take long.
Can I somehow delete the adoptable Storage part and make the portable storage 100% again, without formatting?
Thanks in advance
