[Android General] KronicSkillz:
Just to clarify a few things.

- INTERNAL FORMAT.

- will turn your old internal sdcard storage space into regular internal storage space. (meaning it will not show up as an sdcard anymore but will still be available for the phone to use as regular internal storage)

- will encrypt your sdcard. (meaning it will no longer work on other devices) (this sux because ppl use it for backup but i have a fix)

- your new sdcard will appear as an internal sdcard (replacing the default one created using internal storage)(this means it's automatically used and supported by all apps, not just those with custom sdcard settings)

- EXTERNAL FORMAT.

- will function much like sdcard did in android 5.0.

- some builds are experiencing write permission errors. (cm13 for example most apps won't be able to use external card making it almost useless)(es file explorer and many root apps may still work.

If I missed any of the main functionally changes please let me know and i'll update accordingly.

- Solution to the "I want a backup for my data in case my phone breaks, but i like the idea of the internal storage feature."

- The solution i've come up with is a handly little app called syncme wireless.

- Steps to setup SyncMe Wireless to regularly backup your sdcard data onto a PC. (you can also use cloud devices but i am opposed to cloud services so i'll be showing this method here)

- Since i think windows is most popular and it's what i'm on i'll use it as an example. There are many exhaustive file sharing guides for setting up your permissions for network share on the internet available already so I will not be exhaustive, i'll just include basic setup instructions.

1. create a folder you can access easily, the desktop is a good place for it if you don't have administrator rights.

2. right click the folder click share with - > specific people. (if sharing is disabled enable it)

3. make sure you have read and write access. (the windows account you have the password to)

4. once folder is shared install syncme wireless on android device.

5. on windows device push windows key + r at the same time or go to start menu and click run.

6. type cmd and ok.

7. in command prompt type ipconfig.

8. make a note of your computers IP address. (it's ok if your dchp server changes your ips and it's not static syncme will take a note of your mac address and use that to identify your pc in the future after first connect)

9. open syncme wireless on your android device.

10. click ad computer.

11. your computer may show up automatically, if not click the menu icon and click add computer again, here you can manually add your computers ip address. (this is because some routers block scanning)

12. Click on User and type your WINDOWS LOGIN USERNAME that has permission to access the files on your pc.

13. click password and type your WINDOWS LOGIN PASSWORD that applies to the username you used.

14. once your computer is setup the rest is pretty self explanatory, click on the setup computer to add a sync folder, you can sync everything or just specific folders. You can set it to run at night when you're sleeping every night so you always have an sdcard backup on your computer, and if something happens to your phone you can reformat your card and copy the files back.

15. you can manually run folder pairs as well by clicking the folder pair and clicking run. I use this to send files to my phone over wifi, just add files to a folder that is setup in a pair, then run that folder pair sync, and the files will show up on your phone without having to plug in cables.

any suggestions or requests for help i'll try to add and respond to asap but I am not on here every day. Just wanted to help people solve the issue i had with cm 13 so more people can get into using it as a daily driver and support its development.
