Hello, I have been using my Redmi Note 8 pro 64gb, and I have been looking for a way to encrypt my micro SD (+64gb), I want to save photos and personal information but without the encryption anyone who have access to the microSD can access the information, so I've been looking all over the internet with no success, I have used LG X venture android 7 with SD encryption, also a huawei Y9 2019 EMUI 9.1.0.224, but seems like MIUI doesn't have this important feature.
Does anyone know if there is a way to encrypt the microSD in the phone? it seems like it is a way to force people concerned about privacy to purchase other versions with more internal memory.

guess not. just got mine, miui 12 or whatever the newest just drop, OS 10 (android). but if you are to use a SD it must be encrypted, if not it should only be used for music and files that have no real meaning.
Seems the phone says its encrypted by default on the internal, and you can't un encrypt it. I wanted to verify that the whole phone IS really encrypted.. if not it may mean needing to root the phone and instlaling custom rom

I think it will be the same as I can't see Google reverting any SD card related changes. They've not included sd card slots since the nexus one and pushing people to use their cloud services for storing stuff. The changes were made for security purposes, ie apps can only access 'their' folders files on the external sd card. Google are implementing more and more security features like encryption as standard, to enhance privacy and security and these are features that are more relevant than ever at the moment.
Thread closed,
There is an existing thread for everything to do with Android L.
Many thanks,

Hey guys, just a quick question.... any one of you guys are able to format your SD card as the internal Storage. My G4 is running Marshmallow H81520c but I just can't seem to find the option. Any help guys?
The feature seems to be disabled by LG.
I used the following guide @Reddit to enable it via adb:
/r/lgg4/comments/3z1bfi/enable_adoptable_storage_on_your_lg_g4_stock_no/

Thanks a lot!?
Do we know for sure that it was disabled by LG? Very frustrating if that's the case. It's one of the better changes in Marshmallow. I cannot use adb to make any changes as I'm using a chromebook.

Hi. Thanks for that link. I'm keen on the S7, but with only 32GB of storage, I may have to try something like the above to have more app memory available. However, I've never done this sort of thing before. Is there a video or something that could step me though how to do this sort of thing? Maybe another article for complete beginners? I think a lot of people could be interested in doing this if Samsung doesn't make the 64GB version readily available.
Yes, please

Can someone please provide a walkthrough for beginners? Just bought the LG G4 for my wife who burns through storage like there's no tomorrow. I've downloaded Android Studio and don't even know how to make it function in order to follow the guide on Reddit. Please help.
Thank you.
Adoptable storage is a bad idea for a flagship, its more for low end devices.
- once you make the sd card adoptable, you no longer have an sd card. Its encrypted and becomes a part of the system. if you remove it at any time the system won't like it.
If the card goes bad, you have to factory reset unless there is an easier fix. If your device goes bad then you can't just remove the sd card and stick it in somewhere else. So you better be using the cloud on a regular basis.
write speeds on the fastest cards are half as fast as internal and a sixth as fast for read. so there will be a mixed experience when reading/writing to one medium over another.
A compromise may be to partition the sd card so a portion of it is adoptable and the remainder works just as a normal sd card.
Yes I know it's not ideal from a performance perspective, but like I said, my wife downloads apps like there's no tomorrow, most of which cannot be transferred to the SD card. Because her Huawei Ascend Mate 7 is constantly running out of storage space, I just bought the LG G4 because I read that adoptable storage could be enabled through Android Studio, I just don't know how to do so.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm continually getting out of space errors with my SM-T800, unable to update apps etc. Its rooted, running nougat OFW, with a 64gb sdxc class 1 card. But I can't get it to link apps to card, either through the official android method or 3rd party such as app2sd. I still love it for its screen resolution, never mind its good looks, and can't think of anything else on the market I would consider replacing it with. So can anyone point me in the direction of either a decent looking custom rom with integrated app linking, or an easy to follow guide to app linking which actually works?
What about using adoptable storage? I assume that more or less all custom roms support that.

Yeah Lineage OS 14.1 has an option to format / setup the microSD card for internal storage use or use as portable storage for music, photos etc.
So, you all, I have this A3 2017 (A320FL) - and its a love/hate relationship, right?
Obviously the biggest flaw is that it only has 16GB of internal storage which you can't extend.
What is the best option to go about extending this through an sd-card (I've moved all the apps I can...) - without too much hassle?
Lineage? Root and LinkSD? I'm confused!
Thanks for any help!

Lineage can format sd as internal storage on my a5(I suppose it would be the same for you) I have never used link2sd, but I have use app2sd which works very good. You have to have root.
Hi, im using los 16 on a320fl.. this fw supports "adoptable storage" and it works fine. But u need really fast card to prevent app loading delay
Thanks! You are so friendly!
I'll try to back up everything and go for it. As for the sd-card, I think this is the fastest this one (no link, I don't have enough posts: amzn.to/2VydOmc ) is currently available, so I'll try it. On the other hand..its mostly insta, whatsapp and facebook ... probably the speed won't matter so much
Hello all,
I recently installed LineageOS 16 on my MotoG5 and up to now I'm quite happy about it. But I'm foreseeing problems due to memory shortage anytime soon and I would like to prevent it by extending its memory with a SD card. I would like to ask some questions before deciding what to do.
Before this phone I had a LG Optimus L90 in which I installed a CyanogenMod ROM (I don't remember the version anymore). I remember I could move most of my apps to the SD card with a few touches. I thought it would be the same with LineageOS 16, but it doesn't seem so. Does anyone know why? Is that on purpose? I remember I had my L90 rooted, but I decided not to root my MotoG5, at least for now. Could it be a question of rooted/unrooted ?
I saw that I could either: a) use a SD card as a "internal storage"; or b) use some apps like "Link2SD", "Apps2SD" or "FolderMount". Which one would be the best? Do these apps require rooting my device? I read some pages relating that some people had problems with the "internal storage", but it was not clear it applied specifically to a MotoG5 with a LineageOS. I also don't remember this option in the old CyanogenMod...
Which SD card would you recommend? From what I read I should get a SD with fast transfer speeds to increase performance, but I was wondering if there is a hardware cap that would make useless having a SD card with very high transfer speed? I also imagine that the excessive read/write operations on the card would damage it sooner than in a normal use. I was thinking about a SanDisk Extreme 128GB or more. Would it be good enough?
Best,
