As you may all know Samsung disabled the Adoptable storage function. Even the well known S7 hack doesn't work on some Samsung devices.
Well now it's back...
Thanks to some legwork (no pun intended) by @longshanks197 we now have a workable solution.
I have created this patch to fix the issue by patching the boot image and replacing sm.jar in system.
This will enable the adoptable storage feature in Settings>Storage
This should work for pretty much any Samsung device running Marshmallow
I advise making a backup with TWRP before proceeding.
NOTE: Due to Samsung's modifications the combined storage capacity may show as incorrect, ignore this and pay attention to the separate internal and external capacity which is correct.

Dont work j500fn
I used the S7 hack and it works perfectly, only difference is that it shows that I have 32gb of storage rather tham 24gb (8gb+16gb sd). Thanks a lot, adoptable storage is defintely the saving grace for phones with low internal storage.

Whenever I try to format the SD card, I end up with a corrupted SD card. Using the Performance Boost Speed ROM with a SM-J500M, also using systemless su and xposed if that matters.

It should work on all J5 models. Backup your phone and flash the zip from first post. If you have problems, then post here and describe it as much as you can.
Thanks bro

Format your card as portable storage. Reboot and look out for the sdcard notification.
If you don't see that go to storage settings.

If you check your storage it should show heaps of room as it has the card as internal.

Checked this view. The storage doesn't appear to swap after hitting the 'External > Internal' button. Have you had any luck on your phone? Perhaps I'm being an idiot and setting it up wrong.
Backup all your data to ExtSdcard
1./ Hard reset your phone
2./ Setup your phone as a new phone
3./ Root your phone
4./ Install Root External 2 internal from GP
5./ Use Root Explorer copy all folders from SDcard to ExtSdcard
6./ Open Root External 2 internal app --> Setting
- Check on Default SGS3 Roms
- Check on Use per Defaul
- Touch on The ext. sdcard device access --> change 179:49 to 179:9 (this is block of Ext Sdcard on my mega 5.8, on others i don't know)
7./ back and touch on External > Internal, At boot if init.d
8./ Restart your phone
Use Root Explorer to chech you Sdcard and see, now your Ext Sdcard swapped as Sdcard
But, after that i can not see my internal Sdcard, i am still finding out the way to fix it
inside Storage i am still seeing the Internal as 8gb but in Root Explorer it is my 32g Ext sdcard
Hope this can help you.
If any you find out the best way to swap Ext Sdcard, please share.
Cheers.
can you share your print screen of your storage with us?

Unfortunately the dev/author stopped updating in November 2012 long before 4.2.2. So although it will work on 4.1 it will not work anymore on 4.2.2.
I already pm @codlab about this but unfortunately he does not have a device anymore to test/start updating.
Hello,
I have a problem with the internal SD-Card of my Galaxy S2 in CyanFox 2.0.
When i want to use a application that access the internal SD-Card (for example the Camera), it says: "Please insert sd card."
In settings i can still see the card. There was a thread with a fix for the Galaxy S, can i use it with the S2. If not, what can i do?

To me it works perfectly. For Internal SD-card what do you mean? The memory 16GB? Because it works really well
P.S: However, to receive support on some ROMs you'll ask in the thread in question, so as not to create confusion in this section.

I would write in the main thread but I can´t cause i dont written enough posts...
What I have to say too ist that when i flash stock rom again the error still is there. Yes, I mean the 16GB internal memory.
I repeat: what do you mean with Internal SD-card? The main memory of the phone? ( of 16GB)?

I do not know what to tell you. If you happened even before then there isn't a problem of CyanFox.
Try to format the memory, nothing you can do more.

Formatting to default worked, thanks. Maybe it would be a good idea to add automatic formatting to the flashable zip of the rom so this error can´t come?
Has always been the ultimate solution to this type of problem, since you delete all the files (or almost). However, I am happy that everything has resolved

Hi there ashyx,
I had some trouble (Noob trouble that is...) installing your 'adoptable storage' mod on my Galaxy A5 2016, but after some bit of thinking and troubleshooting I was able to succeed without much difficulty, I have related my epic adventure on this thread:

Thanks a lot. Its works great for me as well.
I'm using A710FD, Indian firmware, 6.0.1.
Please, I would also like to request you or any of the developers here, to develop a permissive kernel for A710F, Marshmallow
I've Link2sd paid version and it doesn't seem to work on MM.(Mount storage error !!).

In TWRP i try to install xposed but can't find anything(only show folders no content). what would be? I try mount internal and external but no solution.
Thanks for your work.
Thank you !
Works on SM-A510F using TWRP 3.0.2-1
I Hope we will stop using "hacks" for those basic Android features in future.
Edit : in TWRP I don't see adoptable storage(The fuse one I mean). I still see Internal Storage and Micro SDCard separated.

I did just that only before formatting it as internal.
Formatting as portable was successful. But then when i tried to format it as internal, the device restarted. Since then it has beem restartint many time on its own.
Is it something to do with xposed installed ?

I think you should reflash the stock firmware and try again to rule out any issues.
After i changed the card it worked. But then i thought of a fresh install. Reflashed the stock rom. And now after all sorts of combinations of installing the mod with xposed root or not, this is not showing the set up function. It seems the device has become inmune to this mod. What steps should we take for this ? This worked earlier with the same mod
this works like a charm thank you so much , i am using galaxy A-7 2016 SM-710FD.

Hi dudes
So I was wondering if there's a way to increase internal storage on this device
Because well nowadays 4Gb of available memory is.. Well.. Too short
So I heard of the partition table tool, but when I tried It show "parted not found" so I couldn't do anything (Sorry I'm a real noob in this domain)
Note : I'm on RR nougat
And what do you think about adoptable storage with a sd card ? Will it slow my device down ?
Thank you for your help

In order to partition through adb you need twrp 2.8.7.0. It has parted. Just follow the instructions of page 1 of this thread (h)ttps://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/d620-partition-table-tool-t3107664/page1. And make sure to reboot recovery and then format data and cache partitions. You can have up to 6gb of free data, you will need to use the 5.2 gb data in order for rr nougat to work.
Okay... I just tried, but what I was afraid of just happened, I can't access to the recovery (stuck in Twrp logo) and I can't move any app to the sd card, an "insufficient space" error showed up

Yes, there is.
However, if you disconnect it from android settings or power off the phone, before removing it, then you are safe.
Okay thanks now I have an access to recovery

With adaptable storage, the SD gets encrypted.
In order to able to use it on anything else than the phone, you will need to format it. Use a PC or a recovery that boots.

Clean your recent apps
Clean up the internal storage
Move your data to SD card
Root your phone and use performance magisk module
Flash a custom ROM
Don't expect too much from your old device
