Performance issues

Is anyone experiencing performance issues after setting SD card as internal storage on cm13?
i could not even set it as internalstorage XD had to place it as media one T_T
Maybe your sd cart, I set my sd card as internal storage on CM13 and have no issues with it.

Format it as fat32 in your recovery
Yeah I too faced issues so I had to reformat it as probable storage. I'm using SanDisk's fastest 64gb storage

Will a 128GB MicroSD card like this work?: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Real..._1&btsid=e8ae3442-763d-4f6b-92af-742983463db1
I'm about to get a Redmi Note 3 Pro (ordered from Top One on Aliexpress, will arrive next week) and I'm wondering which MicroSD to buy. I saw that one, it has 22.000 reviews, 4.9 Stars average, I was wondering if the 128GB version would work with the Redmi Note 3 Pro.

Thanks Wazzim,
If possible can you share your experience too.ex how is the performance after inserting SD card and format(FAT32 or NTFS) and any other observations.
Regards,
Sarvesh
FAT32 (never had NTFS)
has anyone tried with an exfat formatted card? I need mine on exfat, since I carry movies bigger than 4GB on it. Can anyone try if it works?
I'm pretty sure I had exfat but it asked me to format the card.

Afaik all MicroSD (also SDHC and SDXC) are supported up to 128GB. Maybe also above that, but thats what official supported.

I have accessed the SD Card with a SD Card reader in my windows computer. Then I deleted the exiting partition. Then I created a new one using FAT32. After this my Redmi 3 pro could access the sd card.
Hope this help you.

Exfat can work only on custom ROM along with custom kernel which has a built in support for this.'
Otherwise you will have to live with FAT32 on 64GB or above (just like I am)

Format the micro SD card to far32 if you are using stock kernel. Otherwise it will work fine on custom kernel.

sadly miui only supports fat32. tried exfat and it doesn't recognize the format.
use cm13 rom and custom kernel will get ntfs and exfat support!

You have tested a ext2/3/4 filesystem and it worked in the device w/MIUI ? I doubt xfs Or f2fs would work....
I might try ext3 later and report back

CM13 and "internal" SD card

Hi,
CM offers to format the SD card as internal storage. I guess this is necessary to move apps to sd?
Can anybody tell me the pros and cons of that feature?
Any issues with TWRP and a internal sd format?
What about updating / flashing ROM?
Any other issues?
havent tried it, ofcourse it asked me too though, but i did not choose it,
you can go ahead and choose it ON AN EMPTY SD CARD and see what happens and you can probably tell me so that i can give a try:laugh: all the best:good:

Technically, that option formats your SD to be fused with your internal storage. So you wouldn't be needing to "move" the apps anymore. The pro is, you will have a larger internal memory, the cons are; 1. You can't insert your SD in other devices anymore. Only in your phone. 2. Some users reported that they can't access the storage after formatting.
Flashing and updating ROMs should work just fine.

Thanks! Do you know how this is technically realized? Is the sdcard just formatted with some unix file system and than mounted to /data instead of the internal volume?
Or is it really merged with the internal storage by LVM volume or something like that?

It is merged. For example we have 10GB of storage usable and you have a 16GB card, you will then have about 25GB of internal storage.

i don't recommend to use any SD card as internal Card unless Class 10 with capacity 16GB . otherwise keep it external =)

It is a Class 10 Card but with 64GB capacity. Why would the capacity make any difference in this setup?
Is the internal storage faster than a class 10 card?

He was more referring to the class. Because any class lower than 10 would give low performance.

I can report that I have successfully merge my sdcard and I also crypted my phone.
After that, I was unable to update my phone with TWRP.

I've done that 1 month ago, I don't remember exact CM13 version (cm-13.0-20161015-NIGHTLY-kiwi.zip or cm-13.0-20161022-NIGHTLY-kiwi.zip). I always update my CM13 by TWRP.
After sd card merge and encryption, TWRP didn't ask about encryption password.
Since, I've gone back : now, my sd card is external and I didn't crypt my phone again.

No error at startup, but TWRP (3.0.2) was unable to mount partitions (it seems quite normal because no password was asked to decrypt partitions). So it was impossible to update CM13, OpenGApps, etc...
space was not the issue the class was the main thing . and about ur issue i recommend that u do stock then root again !

Micro sdcard to internal memory

Hello guys !
I want to know if it is possible to use an external sd card ( Micro SD ) as internal memory on my 3/16gb /) Redmi Note 4X. I know that there is a function to do it on stock android since Marshmallow but im using MIUI 9 atm and i like it so i don't want to install an AOSP Rom.
Thanks !

yes you can swipe external as internal & internal as eternal storage but you need to make some changes in ram disk files as well as framework work files
by doing this you device will become very very slow

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.
