Trying to get my son´s Moto-E running with more storage I tried out adoptable storage on MarshMallow.
But it was so slow, that it was not usable anymore with most of the apps. (mostly games)
Before that, it was running with Link2SD to use the SDCARD as additional storage quite well.
Then I tried to benchmark the disk-performance and that gives me an sort of explanation.
The SDCARD i used is a Lexar Class 10 64GB one, and this are the speeds I measured in the Moto-E.
Normal SD-MODE: Read 15MB/s, Write 11MB/s
Adopted Storage-MODE: Read 10MB/s, Write 6MB/s
Another test with that SDCARD on Windows gives similar results
Read 19MB/s, Write 11MB/s
The internal storage gives me the following results (when running in normal Mode)
Read 40MB/s, Write 10MB/s
So I got some questions:
I know, the card i use is not the fastest card available, but is it the Card or is it Moto-E that gives slow performance?
Where are the Limits of Moto-E SDCARD-Performce?
Do other people notice that downgrade in performance too, when using adoptable storage?
Kindest regards,
chrrh...
I'm playing Real Racing 3, Asphalt 8, Modern Combat 5, all on adopted storage, and it runs fine... i think
And any other apps too, like firefox, google photos, moon+ reader
Would you tell me how to test adopted storage speed? Which app to use?
I want to try it myself

I don't know why sdcard and internal memory has same size
It is because when you use adopted storage your SDCARD is used as internal storage.
I used the same APP to test speed as you.
I tried to open 'Dragons - Rise of Berk' and it did not run properly. The same for 'Hay Day'.
Once the game is loaded it should run fine, but for me the loading was so slowly that I got 'App is hanging, do you want to close it?' Messages.
Wich ROM do you use?
Does the ROM need to settle down before you are able to use it?
Just to give you an update, I solved my problems by using a faster SD-Card.
Now I get Read 30MB/s and Write 10MB/s (card is able to get 90MB/s read and 20MB/s write in Windows)
Since I use the new card, all applications are running like from the internal flash.
As a conclusion, you should always use a sdcard that is fast enough to give you a decent performance.
Kindest regards,

As eveyone knows you can't really install apps to the external SD card, just the internal sd card.
So then what is the use of the external sd card? to have our multimedia on it?
What I'm wondering is how far fetched it would be to have different operating systems installed to the external card so I dont have to waste my internal memory on the ubuntui hack? Would it be possible to actually boot up into these cards instead of the internal sdcard? Or somehow have windows on them like I saw people using debian (didnt read the full story, still getting ubuntu working)
I assume it will be easier when they figure out how to install apps on the external card.
EDIT: Have I missed something? Ive only been gone a few days. Can we now install apps to our external? Because all app2sd programs but them on my internal sd card.
The other cool thing I thought of is making a micro sd connector that conversts to usb with a modded back plate so you can hook up external usb drives... but thats a different post..

It is annoying that we can't use the Micro SD card for some things. Pretty much any app that lets you save to "SD card" ultimately go to the internal memory which is neither a SD card nor where I want it to go. Most apps provide no way for you to make it save to the actual Micro SD card.
******ng about that wont solve it. If you dont wanna learn and get what you want by yourselves, shut up and wait patiently.

LoL nice 10th post

I use CM7 (nightly builds) and recently ran into a warning message about low internal storage, but I had about 2/3 of the total internal storage free (about 1 GB). Moving a couple of apps to the SD card made the warning go away but I'd like to know why the warning occurred when I appear to have so much space available. I can't just ignore it because sync stops when this warning occurs. Since going to a 32GB SD card is not a reliable option with this phone, I'd like to resolve the issue without resorting to wholesale transfer of apps to my existing 16 GB SD card. The screenshot below is my current storage after I moved a couple of apps, but the difference in free space now vs. when I was getting the warning is tiny.

this is a known issue on aosp based roms. if you check jt's posts here, you will find a post about /datadata being full, along with the fix. your /data partition is not full but another one, /datadata, is. as jt said, this will never be changed upstream, so either use the fix after every data wipe, or use less apps/move to sd all apps possible.
to confirm, open better terminal, or android term, and run df -h, look for /datadata, bet it's about %85 full.. Much beyond that you will start to get massive amounts of FCs, and it will make the phone nearly useless until you either use the fix or remove/move to sd some apps..
if this helps click thanks.

If you are an owner of a smartphone then it is a very common thing as smartphones have found their way in each and every person's hands today. With some cool and cheap Android phones being launched, Android is creating a large number of users. But there is one thing that many people has to compromise with when they buy an Android phone. The thing is the internal storage space. Most of the phones come with very less storage space. When you click some photos or share some important files they get stored in the internal storage but alongwith this useful data some useless data also finds its place and thus the processing speed of an Android is hampered. But you can stop such unused data from using the free space by following these 5 simple tips.
1. Use your Memory Card instead of internal space.
Whenever you want to install an app or a game, don't install it in your internal memory space; rather use your memory card. Your Android is capable of doing many things. Also you can move your apps that are installed in your internal memory to your memory card storage. This will help you keep your internal memory free.
___________________________________________________________________
2. Delete Temporary data of Installed App.
Try removing temporary data from your Android device on a regular basis. Surf through the market and you will get many third-party utility applications that will help you in removing the temporary data of the installed app from your device.
___________________________________________________________________
3. Remove unwanted apps.
There are thousands of apps available in the market that can help you monitor the category-wise memory storage very accurately. Install such apps so that you can know which app is consuming how much memory and you can also know that in which places how much memory is used. So install such Apps to monitor you memory usage.
___________________________________________________________________
5. Backup your Photos.
Don't keep all your images in your phone for a long time. Try to keep a backup of all such images in your computers. You can even change the settings of where the photo will be stored; change it to your memory card. But after some days remove the images from your Android device and copy it in your computers, This will ensure that you won't run out of memory when needed.
I hope you would have liked the tips.

My wifes device is stock/rooted. I've tried moving all the apps to the SD card that I can but it's still showing 4.16GB of apps in internal storage. What can I do to fix this and get everything on the SD card that I can? I have tried Link2SD but it only moves somethings. I just want all user apps, downloads and pictures to default to the SD card.
So, does anyone know how to moved everything to the SD card and make it the default storage location?
5.0.2 does not allow moving everything to SD card like previous versions. You can only move the main app, but all data still needs to be on internal. I had the same issue. I tried updating some apps the other day, and got the error of not enough space, so the only option was to uninstall some apps I hardly used. I'm back up to around 1.2 free. Another thing to do is clear cache a lot. I free up around 400MB each clean. I use two apps for that, and both work great. Apps2SD has more features, and you have to enable the cache clean notification in settings. Cache Cleaner does just that. You can even use CCleaner to see if there are orphaned files/folder that can take up needed space.

I just learned that I have the same problem: I moved several apps to the SD card and it's still showing that I have 1 GB of free space. However, when I check which apps I have in the SD card, link2sd shows that nothing's in external memory. Please check the images I attached to this post. The first one shows which apps I supposedly have in the SD card. The other image says otherwise.

I think this is because the device is rooted, I've heard xt1527 model has some issues with root binaries...
Hello all, I need some help.
First of all, my phone is set up with adoptable storage. Before any problems, I had around 3.75 GB used out of 5.51 GB in my phone's Internal Storage. I wanted to migrate data from my SD Card to the phone's actual Internal Storage, so I could format and use the SD card on another phone. I tapped "Migrate data," but it was unsuccessful due to there being not enough space. My phone says "Data left at original location" if I recall correctly. But then the Internal Storage gets nearly full at 5.49 GB used, while all the data still persists in the SD card, unchanged. I've tried multiple reboots, clearing cache and davlink twice, and even deleting many other apps in hopes of updating the storage count, but nothing helped at all. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

Use an app called Storage Analyser. It will help you easily identify which file taking how much size. It is very powerful tool and Plots out the storage structure of your devices internal External and System partitions.
Hit Thanks if helped

Thanks, but it did not help, sadly. I think what happened is that some data from the SD Card was copied over to the Internal Storage when I did the migration, but when it failed, it simply left the copy on the Internal Storage rather than deleting it.
