Currently, Internal Storage(the 11,5GB partition) and SD CARD are formatted as FAT32. Should I format them as exFAT?
Will it work? Benefits? Thanks!
No, it won't work, thanks!
And how about changing the allocation unit size? Will it make it kinda faster?

Sorry, but a simple "No" is not the truth, read here.
Thanks.

Is it true that it's impossible to put files larger than 4Gb on either the micro sd card or the phone's internal memory? If yes, can this limitation be overcome? I'm having in view large movie files, primarily.

Well, I don't know for sure, I read that there is a 2Gb ext4 system partition which is allocated to applications, and I don't know about the rest of the internal memory.
SD cards are usually formated as fat32, which puts this 4Gb limitation, and I don't know if the phone will work with a card formated as anything else.

Hmmm Ok. The EXT4 is /data, and the system partitions. So if it's using FAT32, then you are correct...
I don't think stock rom supports any other filesystems really though.
my tablet recognizes other microsd cards but not my 4gb. how should I format it?

Do a full format instead of quick! After, fill it to make sure it wil write to full capacity, then delete the data & try in the tab.
Try SD card formatter

for some reason nothing is working :s
apparently I had to corrupt the SD card before it would correctly modify the partition table. thanks guys
Hi,
I want my 128GB SD card to be completely encrypted. Is there a way to do this without adding it as internal storage? I found none ... as to:
https://motorola-global-portal.cust...d_answer_detail/a_id/111911/p/9834/kw/sd card
it may not be possible.
TIA
Is your internal encrypted ?
Have you tried format it as internal?
When formated as internal :
The card is not readable by other devices. (another phone, Mac, PC, digital camera)
The card is always encrypted, and can not be decrypted on any other device.

Many people would recommend "exFAT" file system, also some would recommend "FAT32" but due to the limitation of the file size, i won't recommend it, "EXT4" is good, but may not be a good choice for SDcard if you wanted to view the files on the PC using a "SDcard reader" one day, your sdcard then would be limited to read only, so you have 2 options:
1-format it as "exFAT"
2-just put it in the phone, Reformat the SD card with your phone Settings --> Storage/Storage & USB The file system on the freshly formatted SD card is the type that will give you the best performance with your phone.... in other words....(let the phone choose)

As i told you, Individual files on a FAT32 drive can’t be over 4 GB in size, but in exFAT it has no limitations, if it worked good for you in phone or pc then it's fine, if you faced any problems reformat it to FAT32.
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.
