Hi XDA colleagues,
I am writing this post because I have installed Marshmallow GPE ROM on my M8 and I would like to install the Sense 7 HTC A9 Camera and gallery.
As I have selected my sdcard as Internal Memory, I can't find anymore it under TWRP (2.8.7.0).
And I have see that the /system partition is only 22MB free.
Previously I had a Sense ROM and I don't have used the GPE RUU so my /system partition should not have been resized?
Someone is knowing how is the behavior of TWRP with MM? or maybe a new version is needed?
Many thanks in advance!
Seriously? No reply? Well I'm in the same boat as you, except I have a Moto X pure 2015
Hello,
I have found more details here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3oz7eu/guidelines_for_marshmallow_users_formatting/
So, formatting SDCard as Internal Memory will crypt it and TWRP will not be able to read it anymore.
You have to rollback to External Memory to gain access again (do a backup of the content before).
Starting with version 3.0.0-0, TWRP has gained the ability to decrypt and mount SD cards that have been migrated to Internal storage under Marshmallow. Of course, the SD card has to be inserted in the device where it was originally encrypted, and I strongly suspect that you would lose the decryption keys if you ever wipe the device.
Your mileage may vary, because there may be some individual devices for which the feature doesn't work perfectly yet. But I can confirm that it appears to work as expected with TWRP 3.0.2-0 on my Galaxy S4.

Hi all. I am a serious noob to certain rooting stuff so sorry if this post sounds weird. I have a HTC one M8 rooted with Cyanogenmod. Its a great phone, but one thing i noticed after making a nandroid backup of my CM rom was that apparently in recovery mode my TWRP install, and restore does not see zip files. I later found out that TWRP is defaulting on the install and recover screens to my root folder which has none of my backups. Essentially, I can't get into the traditional internal storage folder which has all my zip files and downloads. Is there any way I can get around it and access my traditional internal storage again? I should note that there is nothing really wrong with the phone, I can boot into it and it works fine. I simply cannot access my traditional storage though in recovery.

Wait. Are you using TWRP to try to restore a CWM backup? You can't do that. They are non-compatible.
EDIT: sorry I misread what you posted. You can direct TWRP to either internal or external sd by cliucking wher it says "storage: internal/external" at the top when you are in recovery.
thanks but..
thanks but the issue is twrp says my internal storage is 0mb. I will double check, but i should note that i am not having a deleted OS issue that other people with 0mb storage problems have. My phone is fine its just the storage that acts works ok TWRP recovery

TWRP has some bug where it can't mount internal storage. Try to re-install TWRP, and the latest version, and see if that helps.
Its seems your right about TWRP having a bug as I just went into recovery and I could freely access all the internal storage files and see all my backups.
Upgraded to CM 13 recently and want to use my SD card for TWRP backups and store apps on it.
Is this even possible or when I format it to use for apps do I lose the ability for making backups to it in recovery.
If TWRP can't back up to it are there any recoveries that do?
I am unable to assist but I think when it becomes adaptive storage it encrypts the internal and external storage and TWRP is unable to read it. I am trying to install one of the sound mod zips but I cannot find it in TWRP.
Hopefully someone else has experienced something similar to this and can offer help....
I just successfully rooted/bootloader unlocked/flashed new ROM to my SM-T700. The ROM that I found that works is a "vanilla" version of AOSP (aosp-eng.ubuntu.20160805.143038). I love both having my device rooted and running Marshmallow. I was also able to format a 32GB SDCard as "adoptable storage," which is terrific -- I love having so much space.
After awhile, I decided to be adventurous and try a couple other ROMS including a custom Cyanogenmod and Resurrection Remix. I liked both of these better than the AOSP, but for some reason, when running these ROMs, my phone cannot format an SDCard as internal ("adoptable") storage. The process crashes, and in once case, it actually destroyed a 64GB SDCard that now cannot be formatted on any device.
My question -- if I format an SDCard as internal storage under AOSP, and then flash to Resurrection Remix, for example, will the new ROM be able to use the space created by the previous one? Will I keep the apps I have installed and be able to continue to use all the extra storage space?
Thanks!

No. Because if you use your sdcard as adoptive storage. It will encrypt the data and will not be able to work if you wipe (data partition) and in many cases you need clean flash to install new rom. That mean you are going to format SYSTEM, DATA AND CACHE partitions because of that you need to move all your data back to internal storage and install new rom and then make adoptive storage again. You can't use it continously crossed the roms.

Is there a chance I can change ROMs without wiping? And any idea why adoptable storage would work fine on AOSP but not on the Cyanogen-based ones?

No, you can't because when you use adoptive storage that mean part of your system Apps data will move there, that mean you already have old system apps (Adoptive storage) and you want to install new system apps . And it depends on if apps are matching on both roms but this doesn't happen in most of the time.

I don't know maybe there is anyone here can answer your question or try to ask the dev who works on the CM based rom.

Try the adoptable storage patch.

Hi, Topu baksh...
Just a thought, but where did you perform the TWRP restore from? In other words, where is your TWRP backup located...
...on an external SD-Card or on the devices own internal storage?
The reason I'm asking is because TWRP backups can get pretty big and can consume huge amounts of storage space, and if it's located on your devices internal storage, it's entirely possible you may have just simply run out of space, and which may explain your inability to copy anything or download anything.
Your device would be too full to do anything with, and all because your TWRP backup files are occupying most of your devices internal storage.
-----------------------------------
Anyhow, as I say, just a thought ~ might be worth looking into, and with perhaps a view to deleting your TWRP backup, maybe.
Good luck and hope this helps?.
Rgrds,
Ged.
p.s. - your English is perfectly fine?.
You sure you restored a backup intended for the "eye"?
You can try the option in TWRP "Wipe" section to "Format data". This sometimes resolves issues with data corruption preventing you from writing to the internal storage.
But you will still need a valid stock ROM (TWRP backup) to restore.
Hi,
I don't know why my phone only has 94MB of storage available. My phone was on CrDroid 6.0.1 before I tried to flash LineageOS 16.0 with TWRP 3.3.0 and somehow got messing up. After I flashed the room and booted the system, I found that my storage only has 94MB to install any apps on it. What's really strange is that it showed 16GB internal storage, but I cannot use it. I can use only 94MB from sdcard and this is what became weirder. I didn't put any sdcard on this phone and somehow it shows on my storage. How can I solve this problem?
Currently, the phone is on CrDroid 7.1.2 with TWRP 2.8.7.2

You should follow the steps here to unify the storage: https://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/general/how-to-guide-8-1-android-lvm-chinese-t3783168
If you didn't know, the Find 7 has a weird thing where they have partitions and only allow ~3gb of app storage unless you unify the storage.
