I there a format SD card to internal storage on MIpad4? - Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers

Hi guys! I'm thinking about getting a Mipad4, just wonder if I can also get a SD card & format it to internal storage? thx!

Were you able to do this?

Just bumping this up, is it possible to use sd card as internal storage? Or adoptable storage please?

Yes it is. I am using a 200gb card in my Mipad 4 as internal memory.

Yes most of the apps but not all. Some modules in EdXposed will not work so you have to move them to the real internal memory.

How did you set this up? Is there a particular ROM or was this installed later? Did you use a tool to set the partition? Perhaps a link to docs and downloads would help if you have them.

[Q] SD Card

Hello. I've been having a problem with my SGS2 i777. (СM 10.1 NIGHTLY 2013/02/07)
My phone mount external SD Card (32gb), but does not use a memory card. I can't unmount SD Card, because unmount button is not active (See screenshot), and I can't move programs to the SD Card using the app2sd. (Sorry for my english, I have a basic level.)
Please help.
You might try formatting the SD card in your PC. I had a similar problem back when I first rooted my phone and that worked for me.

Yes, I can mount.
Then you should be able to use it properly with move to SD option in the Applications Setting. If that is what you are trying to do.

I'm trying move apps to SD, but it doesn't work. Memory is not simply used. On the memory card created in the folder LOST.DIR.
But my internal SD Card filled, if I move app to SD.

Are you trying to use that Apps2SD? I don't recommend it. Just go to Setting >> Applications and move the apps from there.

So if I move, it will be filled again. Not music, pictures, videos, etc., fill applications. Again there will be the problem.

Can't store apps on sd card

My phone is not rooted, locked bootloader and I'm using 23.5.a.0.486 android 6.0.1 beta. I put my new 128 gb Sony sd card into my phone. The phone recognised it, and says that there is 120 gb of free space. I can copy music, photos, videos and other files to the sd card, but when I try to move apps to sd card it says that there is not enough storage space and I can't move the apps, but it's sure that there is a lot of free storage space. Please help me to solve this issue. Thanks in advance
It is either a BETA Bug or Marshmallow's problem. Also the management of USB-OTG memories is incredibly bad. (Can't copy-paste like we do on Lollipop)

I dont think it will work. I think Sony disable that feature from 6.0.

Using SD card as Internal Storage?

In CM13, I have the ability to use my SanDisk ultra class 10 16 gb as Internal Storage! Here are my concerns:
1. What are the drawbacks of doing that?
2. Will the apps function smoothly? [that is why I told you the card i'm using]
3. What storage will my computer detect and how much will bbe available to use for me?
4. What are the problems I can face when using TWRP?
5. If I end up doing a clean flash, will the files placed in the internal storage [sd card formatted] be wiped when formatting internal storage as we usually do in TWRP?
THANKS IN ADVANCE
the drawback is that probably you cant then use that sd card as external storage again

Keeping that aside. What about my others concerns?

Increase Internal Storage through Marshmallow?

Well...
I've got a moto E and a 8GB SD card. I have been using MM(AICP) for like months and I really love the ROM and its battery backup but the thing is I'm running out of storage space.. The system itself takes like 1.2 GB out of 2.1 GB available internal storage and few basic apps - I'm full...
I have only 1 game and would like to try more like I used to but can't download as play stores says I'm out of space... Updating apps have been an issue too.. I want to fix this by buying a Samsung 32GB EVO+ class 10 (20MB/s Write Speed) and use it as my internal storage...
Worth it?
Anyone using their SDCards as internal storage? Bugs or Good Experience?
Should I buy or go back to CM11?
-Thanks
Yes. It will be worth it and the problem you are facing is faced by everyone.
So is your phone rooted? If not search xda for methods to root your phone. Then use Link2sd. You can find detailed guide on how Link2sd works in xda itself. if not then i can help.
How link2sd works? In short:-
It requires 2 partitions of your sd card (you will know how to partition your sd in every link2sd guide) one partition for media storage like songs videos images etc and the other will work as internal memory. For this you will require rooted device. And also you will need Foldermount which will enable you to move the obb or game data from internal to external sd. And root is necessary for this too. Hope it helps.
Marshmallow has inbuilt feature of using Memory Card as Internal Storage.
I am using it from a month and honestly no bugs.
The only problem is that you have to format your SD card in the phone itself to use again as portable storage device.
The second thing is that If you format your phone or start using another ROM your SD card data will be of no use and you will have to format it again.
Hope I helped you.
Thanks both of you... I should go for a 32GB class 10 then?

Yes you can.
Now... I've got the SD Card. What should I prefer? Link2SD or Marshmallow's feature?
I want to get the best performance out of SD card... Plus hassle free operation.

marshmallows feature since it automatically moves all apps to SDcard.
One more thing link2sd will create partition out of your SD card while marshmallow will automatically format your SD card as internal storage..
Marshmallow feature is strongly preferred.
Hope I solved your query.?
Well I've been using this hybrid method lol. I partitioned my SD card so that - one partition is used for marshmallow's feature and rest space as portable storage
Didn't wanted to go all in as the feature encrypts the entire card and makes it unusable on other devices.
My phone's running smoother than before maybe coz of the Class 10 UHS-1(though UHS-1 speeds aren't supported by my device) card I've been using. I'm getting ~11.63 MB/s which is faster than phone stock internal storage(~11MB/s).
Thanks for all you suggestions and inputs!
