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.

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.
See question. 2 and 9 gb of space is not cutting it for me with a lot of programs not allowing you to move stuff to the external sd card. Is there a way that works for the amaze to move data to the external sd card?

you can use almost any file manager with root premissons or not in order to move stuff from your internal storage to your sd card.. the only issue is you have to be careful of what you move because not every app will function properly if moved to external storage.. i think titanium backup also allows you to batch move apps to the phones internal storage (not system storage that's the 2gb)

link2SD, move applications to SD card even if it doesn't allow to (it's built-in to ROMS for phones with smaler internal memory, like my low-end Optimus T with 150MB internal)
however, the speed of the SD card is generally slower than internal memory... just a small warning
another option would be the app 'gl to sd' (or something similar to that).
its free and its main use is to save the gameloft game data to your external sdcard. ive tried it and it works with the games. i do believe it'll allow you to move other app data as well.
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 was attempting to root my Alcatel 9007t tablet, so I could move apps to my SD card, unsuccessfully.
So I ended up following some instructions and ended up emulating an SD card on my internal, or something or the other
It renamed my actual SD card to something else
So now, I have rooted my phone, I believe, but using link2sd card I can now move my apps, but I get an error on a certain few apps.
I can't link the data, or what have you, to the SD card, and I think its because of this emulated SD storage
Regardless, I would like to remove the emulated SD storage, and rename my SD card to something normal.
Getting to root this thing was difficult, so I would not want to start this whole thing over.
Or if I could get link2sd to link my data to my SD card , that would be excellent.
I am moderate noob so pls hlp
Footnote: no I cannot link to SD thru my storage settings, maybe is there somehow I can do that. I just want to link or move app data to SD card. This is from a downloaded apk that is making kit difficult. The app seemed to install to SD card, but the data is on the emulated SD on the internal
Halp
You will have issues as apps are not made to be on the sdcard and some apps even block the option.

OK but my tablet is rooted now and I can do it mostly with no problem.
I just want to rename and unemulate false SD card on internal and get it back to normal
Hi, I formatted my SanDisk 16gb card as Internal Storage for my Android Marshmallow 6.0 Moto G 2nd Gen XT1068 *rooted* device. So far so good, the problem is that my phone was failing really bad yesterday not sure why, it won't move files from internal to the sd card so it was running out of space and the whole system started failing. I was not able to backup my SD card neither, because my developer options were blocked so no USB debugging available., I tried everything I found online, from stoping removing cache from Media internal app and some others, etc, and nothing worked.
So I decided to restore my phone to stock.
I did this and now it works fine, however it does not recognize my SD card (because it was formatted as internal storage with the "previous" device) so now I have a 16gb SD Card (4GB occupied) inaccessible to make a backup.
Is there a way to gain access to this SD card so I can move out all the files I've in there so I can format it again as internal storage?
Any information missing please ask,
Thanks in advance,
Denis.
