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?

I seem to have trouble grasping the concept of Internal and external SD memory.
I purchased a 16GB microSD card with the hopes that I can move most of my apps to that card but when I use app2sd I always get the "Failed to move application, not enough memory" error.
When I check the free space it shows more than 13GB on both the internal memory and also on the microSD card.
Since my gtablet has 16GB of "internal" storage already, what's microSD card good for?
Shouldn't I be able to move apps to either internal or external SD storage or am I just not understanding how this all works?
Can someone explain to me in Layman's terms what I need to do?
Thanks !!
PS: I just now accidentally reformatted my internal SD card so I will have to start from scratch anyways ;-)

From what I understand, app2sd functionality is built into Froyo & beyond. No need for a separate app.
In laymans terms, your 16GB internal sd is split in 2, 2GB for apps & 14 gb for data.I have 88 apps installed & it is only using 492MB of the 2GB. Apps install to the 2GB area, but the (and the system) use the 14 GB data area for storage. You can also use this space for dat/files storage as well.
The external microsd slot is generally used by you for data storage. You can use it for what ever you like. I use mine to store copies of different roms/nvflash, movies/video/pictures & music transferred from the PC.
Somebody plz let me know any workaround for moving apps to Internal USB storage. Under settings>application manager> there is an option to move apps to external sd card only. Is it possible to install/move apps to internal usb storage (around 11.5 GB). Please help.
Phone - Galaxy s2 (At&t sgh i777)
ROM - Shostock3 rom (android 4.1.2)

I can only think of using a usb cable and manually storing in Internal SD Card.
Is it possible to partition the internal usb storage so as to use it as an external sd card ? Or can we change the default installation location of apps to Internal usb storage.
Please note that I am not using an external sd card. So i would like to move/install apps to internal usb storage. I have also read that many android phones have this option "Move to usb storage" under application manager.

Try taking out the data from the sd card, removing the sd card from the phone, and moving that data to the Internal SD Card. I don't think Shostock3 has that option.
I have all my apps and data installed in internal storage (i.e. 2 GB storage). But unable to move them to usb storage. I haven't mounted any external sd card. The storage is as follows :
Internal storage - 2 gb which is almost full because of apps
USB storage - 11 GB of which 9 GB
is occupied with audio, video and other files.
I seek to use this free space of usb storage for installing apps.
Try the app Move2SD.

None of the apps allow moving of apps to usb storage. They could only move them to external sdcard.

I found the solution for you. Try going into applications, click the app you wanna move, and click Move to SD Card. If it moves to the external card, remove that then try. It works for me.
Without external sd card mounted, when i click move to sd card; it says "not enough storage space". But with external sd card mounted, I am able to move apps only to external sd card and not usb storage.

That's imo going to be your best bet. Just manually move your apps to your usb storage through your pc.
Also, if you have ES file explorer, have you tried to use it to move your files to the usb storage?
Thanks for your replies. I have mounted an external sd card and using link2sd to move apps to it. One thing I noticed that with sd card mounted, when I move apps to external sd card, some part of the app moves to the usb storage and also the app size increases after doing so. However, still there is no direct way of moving/installing apps to usb storage without an external sd card.

free up storage space
A simple way to free up storage space is by deleting all the log files in the device memory. Just dial *#9900# on your phone and select option 2 “Delete dumpstate/logcat” in the prompted menu. It's not necessary to root your phone either. That’s it!

FYI, this code only works on Samsung-based roms; it won't work on AOSP roms.
Hi guys,
I have a OPX with CM 13 on it. One sim and 64 GB memory card. After flashing it asks for "PORTABLE SD CARD" OR "SD CARD AS INTERNAL MEMORY".
If we chose as PORTABLE SD CARD then we can't transfer apps on too it, as there is no option of change device in app information. And when we chose for SD CARD AS INTERNAL MEMORY it works good but when we change ROM we need to keep formatting the MEMORY CARD and can't even access the original INTERNAL MEMORY of the phone. Any suggestions how to overcome this issue.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, in Marshmallow, migrating app data to the SD card currently only works when the SD card is formatted as internal storage. One of the caveats is that you WILL NOT be able to access the faster internal storage. Kind of a bummer because I feel like the adoptive storage feature is still a bit quirky and slow for me and would rather much prefer the portable storage for now- with the decision to move certain apps to SD.

I'm having problems using an sdcard aswell. When i reboot my phone or clear cache for an exemple, the sdcard don't work anymore and the storege menu says that is damaged. Then i need to format a lot of times my SD and lost my data
I have a Moto E 2014 (condor) in which I installed Lineage 14.1 a while back. I want to use my SD card as internal memory. However:
1. If I migrate data from internal to SD card, the apps on the SD card doesn't work at all. There would be no point doing so.
2. If I don't migrate data from internal to SD card, the apps installed on external will work very well, but I cannot access the SD card in any way. Even if I have 16 GB memory card, only the 2.2 GB internal card is accessible in file explorers and when connecting to PC.
3. If I use the SD card as a portable device, all apps will be installed only in internal, so there wont be enough space for all apps.
4. I wanted to use Link2sd as before, but no matter how many times I partition the card, Link2sd won't recognize it.
Please help me.

I only wanted to be a bit more specific on this issue. It's the one thing that's buggy, otherwise this OS is perfect.

after migrating the data from internal storage to adopted sd card, move apps manualy from external storage to internal storage, somo apps are too buggy on this device, because the sd card reader doesn´t have too much speed of read and write

Then there would be no point in using external as internal storage. The very reason I want to do so is to install apps in external. About speed, it worked fine with Link2SD before, so pretty sure it's the OS that is bugged.
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.
