Somehow along the way, I used a Rom that changed my internal storage.
I've been on two different roms now and the storage won't revert back. Any ideas?

Flash a ROM for 32GB device (e980). You've probablly flashed sth for e986 which is 16GB.
ATM, I'm on Beanstalk, which is a first class Rom.
I may temporarily flash back to stock just to clear up the storage and then flash back. This Beanstalk is the best!

well I flashed the sphinx 2.0 rom for the e980 (32 gb), I had normally 23.xx gb available, now I have 7gb and lost all my files. Looks like there's a old hidden partition, but I can't see it.

When you factory wipe and flash a new rom there are probably old files still on the internal storage that don't get deleted. Those files take up space, but don't read under storage. Get ES File Explorer from the Play Store. Go to device>data>media. There you probably have your old downloads, media and pics. Delete that whole media folder and your space is back. (Backup or copy the files if needed before deleting) You may have to reboot your phone.

The problem comes when you update from JB to KK on any custom rom with different mount point for SDCARD.
for JB its i guess "/DATA/media/" and for KK its "/DATA/media/0/"
ok here is the solution,...
I hope yours is rooted, follow following procedure:
1) install any root compatible file manager. I prefer "Xplore by lonely cat games"
2) go to "/Data/Media"
3) delete all the folders except "../0/". you can also backup files
Et voila ,.....
Storage problem

Hello guys I hope someone can help me on this I have my note 2 running liquidsmooth 5.02
I have switch about six rooms I have titanium backup install I just move the backup file to sd car because I was getting an error no unable to install app no memory. I did side download lucky Patcher and it fixed it. I still wanted to know why I was getting errors if I still have memory left so I downloaded disk usage and analyzer. Now I can see there's about five gigabyte of memory not been able to used I want to know if there's an app to clean it safely or how I can do it without soft bricking my phone or is it possible?

Well those 5gigs can be from changing android versions. Older versions of android used data/media for internal storage while newer versions use data/media/0. So if you are not wiping your internal sdcard in recovery you will have left over stuff that you cant see without using a root browser.

Hi guys, I have been on Lollipop for very long. Marshmallow is here but i have doubts before installing Marshmallow. I have setup my friend's phone after upgrading to Marshmallow. There is an option at the beginning to choose to setup SD Card. Use as a portable storage or Use as internal storage. I chose Use as a portable storage and it is working fine but while trying to download something it does not work. For example, tried to download facebook picture but got some error. While using it as internal storage, it will format data first (which could be backed up). If i use it as internal storage and phone has issues and needs to be formatted without backup, i will loose all the data. Suggest me something guys.

I think it might be a bad flash. What ROM are you using? Nameless or OMNI?

I'm talking about the download problem. Cuz, I can download just fine on marshmallow ROMs, even after choosing the first option.

have you checked the permissions for the app? Should enable access to "storage".
Hello
I have tested this method to enable adaptable storage and use external SDcard as internal memory from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3460521
Note that this is native storage enabler, so no terminal or other hacks involved.
1. Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424965737
2. Flash it with TWRP
3. Go to Storage - SDcard
4. Format sdcard it will prompt you to use it as internal memory, select that, wait for process to finish, reboot.
Now you have external sdcard as internal memory, i have tested this on J500F on marshmallow 6.0.1 and it works, only problem is that Smart Manager reports 97% used memory out of 64GB , cleaning and other functions works like normal, but this is not a problem since i have deleted Smart Manager anyways and use SD Maid.

Yes, it is a bug, but I don't mind it.
Smart manager also showing a bug, but on my PC, it shows how many memory I used.
My phone is rooted. Also flashed that zip file via twrp, but no luck. Then just jnstalled Root Essentials, and the app is formated my card, reboot, and works. Also using a custom rom!!!!!
Just remove Smart Manager app and install SD Maid, smart manager will dissapear from menu anyways, also file manager display wrong value you can delete it too and install root explorer, then convert all to system apps and enjoy
Thanks good módel FN 6.0.1

Now its working.
If you cant see format as internal memory in storage, just click regular format it will then ask you what you want to do with memory card, simple as that
Hello, J500FN user here. Can someone confirm whether this is working on this model? Previously some users mentioned that Root Essentials actually did the trick. Which of the two actually works? The thread's zip, Root Essentials or a combination of both? Thanks.

The zip method should work on all models. I don't see why it wouldn't work on X model.
I've seen that Root Essentials is an app. I don't know how it works, but since some guy confirmed that is working on other model, it should work on J500FN too.
In any case, backup your stuff before.

Thank you for the reply. That's good to know. I would also like to know what will happen if I perform a factory reset. If I re-format the card after the factory reset, will it integrate again correctly with the device?

I don't know, but I did a search and found the answer about how to undo/remove adoptable storage: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/4km6ob/removing_adoptable_storage/ .
There is a topic/post with more information about adoptable storage: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/496sn3/lets_clear_up_the_confusion_regarding_storage_in/ .
I have readed a comment there saying that sdcard can't be used in laptop for example (through an adaptor I guess) if you choose adoptable storage. Original comment and answer:
Question:[–]JangoF76OnePlus 3 1 point 7 months ago
So, I use my external sd card mainly for storing music. If I adopt it as internal storage, can I still remove it from my phone and put it into my laptop to transfer music files?
Answer:[–]DarkFlames101Galaxy S4 Mini, CM13 3 points 7 months ago
Nope. It will only be usable on your phone.

I think that the phone will be slower when you use adoptable storage. There's a benchmark in the link with more informations.

Thank you very much. The links are rich in valuable information. I think all my questions are answered. I will eventually try this trick and report back here.
Finally I got it. :fingers-crossed: I wasn't able to use MM for the low storage issue.
Yesterday after viewing this thread I flashed MM rom and tried Root Essentials first, it was not working for me.
Then I flashed the zip, but there was no change in settings>storage. So, at first I thought no luck for me.
Then I noticed a notification of new sd card with two options: setup & unmount. I clicked setup and it gave me option to format as adoptable.
There is a bug that wrongly calculates total space and space used. But this issue does't bother me as I can see actual use on third party file managers.
Update:
You can't move apps to SD card when you 've formatted it as adoptable. So eventually your phone memory will be filled up as you install new apps. :crying: Only good thing is external data of apps (like received media files of whatsapp) will go to sd card.
I need something to move whole app to sd card.
Switching back to LL :crying::crying:
