Hello,
I have been unable to move my apps to the SD card. In app manager there is an option to do so, but I am unable to select it. Do I have to format my SD card as internal storage to do so ?
Thanks in advance.

also note once you change your externalsd to adoptable storage the it wont show up on your pc when you connect your phone to pc via usb
also note while you are converting to adoptable or back to external storage it does take sometime don't force reboot your device else your sd card would get corrupted

It's actually internal storage that won't show up on PC after, it weird that way, you'll see the card just fine. In twrp you still see both though when connecting.

Anyone know the best source for chapter & verse on the changes to storage management on Nougat?
I'm not yet using adoptable storage because I keep a large music library on SD and find it orders of magnitude faster to update it on PC. But now the option to move apps to SD card is gone in Nougat, I'm wondering if I should move to adoptable storage...

First of all, I'm just a noob to android system. I like the way android treat internal and external storage while connecting to PC as mass storage drive in Gingerbread. However it was replaced by MTP in JB.
Is there anyway I can restore this function?
I've tried search the forum and this solution might have been working:

But this is too difficult for me to deploy. I'm wondering if there's any other way to do that?
Thanks in advanced.

This mounts your external SD card in UMS mode. It has been tested and confirmed working on note II. I use it myself. It requires root. The internal storage however is out of the question.

thanks for the tips. im now using this amazing app for long time. the disadvantage of this app is it can't mount both internal and external sd simultaneously, which is useful for me, while in the system version of Gingerbread

Which has a initd SD swap.
ON Mounts the ExtSD as a drive (in osx).
OFF lets AFT do its thing.
I don't suppose you have a solution for mounting the internal storage under Mass Storage mode, do you? I've got a card reader for the Micro SD if I just really need it, but MTP really sucks when I'm relegated to using it for internal. Thanks!

I use the internal for nothing! It is usless. That IS my solution.

Internal storage have nothing to do with your problem. Your problem is SDcard.
Can you mount it in Windows when phone is connected to PC?
Or use any adapter to put your sdcard into PC and repair it from there.
If it's repairable. If it's not, you'll have to format it.
Also, maybe it's broken so there is nothing you can do it about it, but to use another sdcard
Hi Guys,
I was waiting for the Marshmallow Update because now u can use ur SD as a internal Memory. Everything went fine.
Now my Problem. I saved all the Data from the SD Card to my PC. Now i want to put all the Data like Music/Photos etc. back on my Phone. But how????
I cant see the Memory over HTC Sync Manager nor the Explorer while connected via USB. Is the any Chance to get my Data back on the Phone? Please help
Thank you!
Did you have try to select "Transfer files (MTP)" from notification menu?
As described here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/inside-marshmallow-usb-connection-options
yes, i selected that. i can see the "original" internal memory in the pc explorer, but not any more storage. and the sd card doesnt appear at all....

The sd card doesn't appear because it is now internal storage. The internal storage you see should include your sd card. How much total space does Windows see on it? It should be more than your original internal storage space was.
Once you use the adoptable storage option, it's normal for a PC to only see internal. Your sd card has become internal storage.
it shows 10,6 gb like before. and ive got a 64gb card...
the only way i can see it is on the phone itself

Well, I haven't tried it myself so I'm not sure but perhaps the fact that the card gets encrypted in the formatting process has something to do with it. Perhaps Windows just can't read it. Like I said, I don't know for sure. If that's the case, I would imagine your only option would be to upload your stuff to the cloud somewhere and then download it to your phone. Perhaps someone else who's using adoptable storage will see this and chime in about it here.
Hello xda I have a Samsung 128gb micro SD card that is set to internal storage. I can install apps on it but I want to make it visible in the file manager so I can put music on it. Any help would be great. I'm on Lineage rom with the alize kernel

Yes, I think it is an security mechanism, by the same but that's not really a problem or? You can also app move to the internal storage but you can't see them.
