OK, so I unlocked my 8T phone and installed Paranoid Android the latest version, all goes well.
However, now I have started install apps from the play store, many of the apps are not installing because they are throwing out a "app requires external storage" error.
I have a 64gb sd card installed, lots of space. It worked fine on the stock miui rom before.
Ideas anyone?

I guess it happens due to a permission misconfiguration, like what happens on Linux,
If I were you I would try to format Data and SDCard to see if it solve the problem,

Modded my first phone, no I am quite inexperienced:
I installed Cyanogenmod successfully. Unfortunately the camera terminates right after I start it. My guess is, it has something to do with the SD-card. A different Camera app from the PlayStore shows an image at least but prompts me to insert an external storage (sd card) before it can take a picture.
Actually there is a new sd-card with 16 GB inserted. I can access and browse it in the file manager and in Settings -> Storage the sd-cards size is recognized an I can mount/unmount and erase it.
Changing from Android 4.1.2 I did this way:
rootet like this, installed this custom recovery and then installed Cyanogenmod by Macclaw following this tutorial + GAppsMicro.
Due to my problems I wiped everything again and installed Cyanogenmod 11 by TeamCanjica. But same problems there.
Hello,
I have exactly the same issue.
I went to newest version of [ROM][4.4.4][TeamCanjica] CyanogenMod 11.0 (cm-11-20140807-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip) + Micro package of GAPPs due to free Space on internal storage.
However after installation of the new system I realized the issue with Camera / Gallery what seems to be caused by a not correctly recognized external SD card: Error message: "No external storage available"
I red some Threads about this issue and have already tried following without any success:
Permission fix at platform.xml http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2743840
IntSD-MountFix from AIO-Toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338577
Format SD card with boardtools of CM11 system
Format SD card at PC with FAT32
Does anybody have a different idea to fix this issue?
Any idea is more than welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Bastian
Now I tried CyanogenMod 10.2 by TeamCanjica. Camera asked for sdcard again... although inserted. But some moments later it suddenly worked... :/

For me it works also with 10.2. Thanks.
Probably an easy fix, but I am at a loss. I flashed Paranoid Android 5.0, re-rooted with chainfire, got su and busybox all up to date and started rebuilding my tablet. When I open gallery it says "no external storage available" then closes, and I can't download anything from the internet because all my apps are trying to use an sd card, however play store downloads apps just fine. But I guess the new PA 5.0 moved my old files to a different folder in internal storage, and I can't point any apps to that directory, and the new emulated SD folder just doesn't work.
edit: still not fixed, and Google hasn't been much help.
the twrp manager app ran an sd card patch it said it needed, could that be the issue?
every app that allows you to manually point to a directory only lets me point at the sd card, strange... we don't even have an sd slot??
I've already done all the simple stuff, clear cache/data factory reset/reflash rom, nothing works
Anyone know what's going on here?
In not on PA to but I have the same problem. I can not download anything to my tablet and my computer is broken so I have been sick with this situation for months. I how there is an easy solution.

Hey guys.
I tried searching for my problem, and I'm not entirely sure it got it right.
So, I got the S4 Mini, and use CM 12.1 (by FAK, built 20151005) and CWM 6.0.4.6.
Works like a charm, thanks for that and the idiot-proof tutorials on that.
8GB storage being not that much, I bought a 32gb micro SD card to enhance my storage.
From what I read before, Android got problems using SD cards properly since Kitkat.
So, now my problem:
I partitioned the card as fat32 (as was somewhere described) not sure if that even ist the right choice ^^
Now when I install some app vom Google Play Store, I can't even choose SD card as storage, it goes straight to internal.
In Settings, there is no option to make SD card the standard storage.
Only thing I can do is "move app to sd", which seems to work, as all the apps are gone when I remove the SD card and start the phone.
But somehow the internal storage is still as full as before moving them, and the external SD is not close as full as it should be.
Having 8GB internal storage should leave me with about 5,4GB usable storage. I only left the GApps on the internal storage (Chrome, Play Store etc) which add up to ~700mb. So there should easily be 4,5GB free internal storage, but I only get like 1,2GB.
My SD card on the other hand, says it just uses ~400MB, when it should be 1,5GB or even more.
Is the only solution trying working with "Link2SD" (does it even work properly?) or is there anything I did miss?
I tried reading up on some stuff, but there is just so much, and I didn't really find something fitting my problem.
Thanks a lot in advance, guys!
Would have postet screenshots from my settings, but I'm not allowed yet, sorry.
That's what I did.
Create two partitions on the SD card, using mini partition tool.
First part is FAT32 second one is ext-3.
Using then Link2SD will now detect the ext-3 partition and request then a reboot.
All APS can now linked to the ext-3 partition manually or if configured automatically.
I'm using 10gb on ext-3 and rest for fat.
Hey nikon. Thanks for your answer.
If there's no other solution, I'll try that.
What I don't get, why only 10GB on ext-3? and then ~20GB as fat32?
edit: ok, tried using link2sd, but doesn't work, because apparently it isn't rooted? when I start l2sd, it asks which partition to use, I check ext2-ext4, and it says "mount script cannot be created - not allowed to su"
I guess su means superuser, which means, it isn't rooted. But I got CWM and CyanogenMod installed, shouldn't it be rooted??
I'm confused
That was enough for me
Music and Video is still on FAT so you can get access over USB. If you put everything on ext this one is blocked during USB access.

Ok, just thought of that. Sounds good, but I still got to root my phone. Any idiot-proof way to do this?
As is said, I already got CWM and CM 12.1 installed, any easy way to root, so I can use link2sd?
edit: nevermind, 2minutes google solved this one
Thanks man, nikon. Gonna try out link2sd like you said.
Hello,
I have successfully flashed lineageos on my m8 (latest nightly, Nov-09 2017) and also flashed the "mini" version of the opengapps project.
The device runs fine, I can download and install apps, no problem.
However
After formatting a 64GB external SD card as "internal" (to circumvent the 16GB limited internal storage), I am running into problems:
Downloads of Apps in play store stop at arbitrary points in time and don't continue until a reboot
Installing apps (if the download is successful) is not always working
Play Store shows error messages that apps cannot be downloaded
Whatsapp backup from Google Drive is not working / has download issues
Goole Play error is "963"
Note: If a download on play store is stuck, browsing the web is however still working.
At some poi
The device ran smoothly with stock Marshmallow 6.0 and sd card formatted as internal.
I am grateful for any advice or help!

Hi, my name is Julian, I am a newbie and I've got two big problems with the Galaxy J5(I think 2016) with 8GB internal and a 32GB SD Card, Stock Gapps and Lineage Os:
Internal Storage Issue
The Phone constantly says “Not enough Storage”, although there are NO extra Apps installed, except Whatsapp, and he has no personal Data(Images, movies, etc....)
BUT when I look in the Storage option in the Settings, the Calculation is not correct. It says : 3Gb for Android, 1,5GB for Apps and maybe 0,5Gb for Data, but the rest is not showing up.
SD Card to Internal Issue
So because of the 1. Issue, we decided to format the SD Card as an internal Storage. We searched up where this Option is to find and then we tried it. During the process it told us that we would free up about 2Gb of the Internal when moving stuff to the new formatted SD, so we did it, but after all There is no Extra Storage, and we are still not able to install apps from Google Play to the SD Card.(And it also says that 16GB of the SD Card are for the Android System, even if there are only 2 small Files or so).
I would be really thankful if you could try to fix our problems, because we can't go back to Stock because the Backup was broken and the copy from the PC doesn't even show up in TWRP(nor with the Backup function, neither with the File explorer function).

I don't have this device but, since there's no Official LineageOS released and, your not sure which J5 you have, here's the only Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 that's currently active that's specific to the J5 (2015).

Storage is a general problem. Not device specific.
It is no good idea to use stock GApps. A minimal gapps is enough. You can install Google apps from play store.
WhatsApp doesn't use adapted storage AFAIK. Especially videos use much memory. Delete them all.
