From Lollipop to Nougat : Advices please - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Galaxy tab S with Nvertigo Official lollipop 5.1.1, I would like to jump to Nougat Official liquideath or Lineage.
I know about ROM and Gaps download and how using this on TWRP for flashing the tablet.
I need additionnal advices about :
- The memory card should be formatted but I don't know how and when ? Maybe with TWRP before flashing ROM, GAPS and SuperSU ?
- If the memory card is formatted, How can I flash the tablet ? must I use an OTG cable and a USB key with the ROM, GAPS, SuperSU inside and ready ?
Of course, I must save my music and movies before formatting the memory card.
- I'm using 3Ctoolbox who save the apps on the memory card. Must I save the apps on the USB key on the OTG cable before flashing the tablet and after recover my app by just install 3cToolbox and recover my apps after ?
Its just how I see the stuff because I know there is something different who has appeared with Marshmallow.
Please give me good advices for an hapy move from lollipop to Nougat. Thanks in advance.

Understanding Marshmallow before installing

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".

Stock + 128GB SD, later maybe LineageOS

Hello all,
I have HTC 10 already rooted with TWRP and SuperSU running Stock Android 7.0.
I'm happy with Stock room but most probably I'll install LinageOS.
I have options and questions in my head to reconsider:
Restricted SD card access - I agree with it (after what I red just recently), but my idea was to use advantage of 128GB (fast one) card and store various app data to it. I was used to "full SD card access". I was thinking just format it as adopted but It would get wiped after ROM reset (which shouldn't happened that often once I'm settled down). But how is going to be SD card access on TWRP backup and recovery?
I red somewhere splitting SD card but it seems not necessary.
I don't know yet but how does LinageOS 14.1 handle SD card?
I would love to here there is simple solution for SD card for Android 7.0 (is it Nugat?...) or LinageOS 14.1. Because I have tried SDfix but didn't work because Error information - "no groups specified in WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE".
What solution wold you recommend? What options do I have?
BTW: Also I have in plan to start setup with ElementalX Kernel to get more functionality possibly?...
EDIT:
Should I use App2SD/Link2SD maybe?

storage corrupt

hello, this is my first time for install custom rom on my find 7, i follow tutorial around here, got brick and thank god, finally los 15.1 installed on my phone, but on storage, there's sdcard1 is corrupt, and not change when i format, i flash removelvm.zip, cant access internal storage for taking photo, etc..
please, can someone help..?
1. i followed tutorial How to guide (8.1 Android) LVM Chinese Unification Storage Method by @brownboy1289
2. i flash LOS 15.1
3. gapps pico
4. cm13 patch
5. removelvm.zip
can anyone help.. thanks before..
*sorry for my bad english..
I have a similar setup as yours. I did not install #5 on your list. I have also played with crDroid. I ditched crDroid because I kept having corrupt storage issues and I would lose apps because of the storage. I did confgure my sdCard as internal storage.
I'm currently running LOS15.1 and it does seem to be more stable than crDroid regarding storage. Yes, in the Storeage app it shows sdcard0 as corrupt but the sdCard does appear to be being used as internal storage and I don't have issues with apps disappearing. The sdCard is a little slow at mounting at boot and will get an error that says insert sdCard but after a few seconds all is fine. TWRP does not function well with the sdCard as internal memory so I fash stuff from a USB drive connected through an OTG cable. OS updates through the LOS update work well with TWRP and the OTG USB is not needed for that
I have rooted my phone, then i installed s9 rom and now my system recognizes only 16gb out of 64gb(I have an S8).I don't know what should i do.I couldn't find anyone with the same problem.I think it may be because of a problem during installation of Rom and something got corrupted. Is this what you say what happened to me because im kind of a noob with root...Can you help me?

Question HELP! My sdcard partition is not showing anything on my PC.

Hi,
i use the twrp and i select format data. After that when i plug my Poco f3 in my PC (in TWRP) i see my device, i see Internal STorage but not gb NOTHING.
PLZ HELP
It happened to me on my Redmi Note 9 Pro, i asked for help, most of the people told me to format data to remove encryption to fix it, but I did it many times and with 2 recoveries capable of decryption. Nothing works, so I had no way to install my custom ROM, fortunately I remembered the RN9 Pro had an SD card slot, I copied the zip to the SD card and flash it from there and managed to install a ROM.
Once installed I was able to access internal storage again.
So in case of this phones with no SD Card Slot I don't think there's a solution, just flash again MIUI fastboot Firmware with Flash Tool and it will restart to MIUI Stock ROM.
Probably not what you want but at least you'll be able to use your phone again until someone comes up with a solution.
Sad to have new phones loosing SD card Slot and now Jack 3.5mm connector, etc.
I guess you can use OTG to do the same that @davidbejar did.
