Marshmallow external SD Card Partition - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
I have recently switched to CM 13 and I am really enjoying Marshmallow for now.
One of Marshmallow main's feature is that it gives the user the possibility to format his external SD card to be used as internal memory by the phone.
I have a 64Gb SD card, and a phone with 16Gb internal storage. Increasing the storage by merging my SD card could be great, however, I would loose the external access to my SD card, which I don't want.
So here's my question : would it be possible to partition my SD card, and only use one partition as internal memory, and keep the other one free to be used with any other device
Here's a picture summing up what would be the result of such a thing:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I thank in advance people who will answer my question :victory:

[Q] 64GB SD Card suddenly read only

I've noticed that this thread has gotten quite a lot of views, from searches i assume. Well, sorry to disappoint, the problem i had was that i had accidently toggled the little read only switch on my microsdxc to sd card, so you will have to look elsewhere for a solution to your problem!
Hi, i recently bought a 64GB Sandisk Ultra Microsdxc card for my Samsung Galaxy S III. When i used the Adapter to connect it to my Macbook, i couldn't read/write to its fat32, so i had to format it to something else, so i just chose ExFAT. I put some stuff on it, but now, two days later, the card is suddenly read only? It happend after i exceeded 32GB, although the picture says 36,38GB Available, that's because i tried to delete some stuff from the card. Does anyone have an idea why the card is suddenly read only?
- Thank you!

storage management

Hello, I need some help sorting my storage on my atrix, its currently running neutrino rom
I have addition storage that for some reason I can't access and it has reduced my internal useable stoarge tto only 2gb, I'm just wondering how I can make it so I just have all my internal storage usable and to get rid of this additional storage?
Here's a picture

Thanks will be given of course
*bump* please dont ignore, every other thread i make just gets lost and i get no help
try to switch primary memory, it looks like your primary storage is memory SD card, not internal memory
is there no way i can just delete one of the storage spaces? i currently have 3, all i want is normal internal storage and normal sd card storage
one of them is for apps (not for data), second is internal memory and third is memory card

Stock Camera app can't write to card

I popped in the Micro SD card from my EvoLTE and I can read files just fine but writing is a major issue even for the stock camera app. Attached image is what happens when I change the save path to SD and take a photo.

Check to make sure the card is properly seated in the slot. If that's not it do some tests.
Sd cards do go bad sometimes. I would back up your sd card, double check its the G3 and not the SD card by putting it in another phone, and try another sd card(a friend's?). If your sd card is fine and another sd card doesn't work, your phone might be faulty. If its just your card and your card is ok, might be a weird compatibility issue.
It's a known issue with kit Kat. There's an app called "next app sdfix" in the market that fixed mine. It's free so give it a try

I hope you can help thanks :good::fingers-crossed::silly:
um, its already activated. you see the VMEM? it just wont show up in settings menu. pretty much acts the same as Link2SD. btw swap is slower. easier solutiom would be to change rom, or de-bloat and freeze some running apps.

Android: It seems to be kitkat 5.0 but some android 5.0 apps do not work with it. It completely puzzles me, plus i can't find any information about kitkat 5.0 existing.
It seems to be a custom rom.
What i want to do:
Transfer installed apps (games and the like) to SD card instead of internal storage because my internal storage is just 4GB.
Android games constantly recieve updates and their size grows, so it would be better if i could send them to external SD card, where i have a lot of space.
What i tried
Set external SD as default storage doesn't work, the games will be installed in internal storage.
My "settings" screen doesn't have a "move to SD" option.
"APP2SD" app cannot move it.
