It's important to move the data to sdcard when android prompts you to do so. Because what you select there determines the primary storage.

If you choose to not move the data then internal storage will be primary and everything will get stored in the internal memory, and if you choose to move data then sdcard will be primary.

This would have been amazing.
[Moto G 2015 General] Tel864:
I've noticed that also. Also, if the developer writes the app to install on internal, that's where it will have to reside. One thing I've noticed on the final builds that changed in the soak tests, in the first soak test, you could force non-system apps to SD and could actually move most of them. Some of them would act wonky though and you'd have to move them back.

You guys must not do much gaming. Download a game's 3gb obb file, then tell me it makes no difference tht you have another 32gb, or however big your card is, to store another couple obb files so you can store more than one game.

Now....having said that, there are a couple apps and xposed modules which also allow you to store them directly on the external card, and some even more efficiently....but since this is a native feature now rolled right into the firmware, I expect with time this will swallow up the code used in those apps and modules, and make use of their methods even more efficiently. This is one of thoe features that needs time to mature and find its real true use, but right now if you use it like I do I think you'll find it's a great tool!!

Also, on a side-note....I think it shows as 8+32, or whatever your configuration may be...but I think it shows them separately because they are actually separate physically...just like it would do on a desktop computer with an additional internal hard drive. Imagine, for a second, if it merged them into one single storage device (in the firmware's eyes, at least) then you remove the sd card....all hell would break loose. The device wouldn't know wtf was going on and why suddenly internal storage was chopped to a fraction of its supposed size. It would wreak havoc on everything. Keeping them as separate but viewed as both being internal makes the sd card able to be unmounted without affecting how the firmware runs, with the exception of anything installed or stored on the storage device that you've removed.

This a million times but everyone seems to be ignoring it.
[Moto G 2015 General] steboni:
Just read it and my doubt is : If I will choose "internal", will I need a Google "cloud backup" size equal or greater than my "internal" size, to avoid loosing encrypted data when my SD card end his life? I guess so.

Will this be free of charge or do I need to buy cloud space on a monthly/yearly fee basis?

And what about the data in the cloud? Are they in plain or encrypted? I hope that they are encrypted with device related key, so that when I will swap the card they could be restored.

Hmm... the choice need to be evaluated wisely.
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
No... Google only backups up settings and personal information like contacts, wallpaper, WiFi passcodes, and stuff like that, and maintains a list of the apps you have installed (not the actual apps or their data). It really doesn't eat into any of your free 15GB of storage, and if you use Google Photos in "high quality" mode, it will eat basically zero of your Drive space.

The information is encrypted, like all Google account information, but the key to it is your just your Google account and password.

Do not confuse device level encryption, SD card encryption, and Google data encryption. They are all different, well device level and SD card encryption are very similar, but your Google data is just kept in Google's standard servers using their normal account encryption tied to your username and password (which is very secure). If you encrypt the SD card, it is tied to that specific device , not your Google account... it will only work in that EXACT phone with the same Google account, to use it in another device you will need to reformat the card.
[Moto G 2015 General] steboni:
Got it,... maybe I made wrong assumptions.

Many thanks for your kind explanations.

[Moto G 2015 General] pjc123:
My new Moto G arrived yesterday and I rooted, etc., and added a 32GB SD card as "internal storage" using the new Marshmallow feature. TWRP has the capability to store backups to the SD card adaptive storage built into it.....nice. This will save a ton of space. By the way, it took a bit of searching to find the TWRP backup, because what TWRP reports as the backup Folder (external_sd/media/..). Is not where it is in the filesystem. It is actully located in

/mnt/expand/...

But wait, this storage is not visible by my computer, so there is no way to copy the TWRP backup to my external drive like I have done in the past.......Wonderful.

What I would like to do now is store my my biggest storage hog, music files, onto the SD card. However, Google Play Music does not support adaptive internal storage. Didn't Google develop Marshmallow...I don't get it. Does anyone have a workaround?

EDIT (02-02-2016): So I reached out to the developers of two of the top aftermarket paid music player apps and it became clear yesterday that they have no clue about how adaptive storage works so I see no hope at this time for any music player that allows me to store songs onto the SD card using "internal storage". For now I have to store the songs the old way, on the phones main memory, which leaves me almost no space left on the phone......Wonderful. That was the whole intent of buying this phone.
[Moto G 2015 General] heisert:
Yeah its bad. I wrote some mails to the Google Play Music team. Maybe they fix/support it asap

[Moto G 2015 General] waj1234:
So is this feature not working as it should? I only got the 8gb version in an hope the sd card could be used for all apps instead of internal. It seems to install to internal just the same and only the option to move some apps. It is totally pointless to the point I will have to sell the moto g and get something with bigger internal storage.
[Moto G 2015 General] Tel864:
All apps won't install to the SD. System apps are on internal and developers can specify that other apps must install on internal. Also some widgets won't work correctly if their apps are moved to SD.
[Moto G 2015 General] waj1234:
Shame only waited for MM before buying the moto G 2015 8g (got it today) for the sd card feature. It's no better than it's ever been and renders the 8g version completely useless imo.:(
[Moto G 2015 General] Tel864:
Yeah, it's not quite what everyone thought it would be. I bought a larger SD card just for that feature and honestly, an 8gb card would probably handle all the apps I have that will actually move. Out of the 60 or so apps I have installed, only 10 are on the SD card. Some of those like Dropbox are real space hogs, Dropbox uses 64mb by itself and it won't install on the SD.
[Moto G 2015 General] Tel864:
You're wrong on one point, all apps installed from Play won't necessarily go to the external. I would be surprised if even half will. Security apps probably won't install to SD. Banking apps on every G3 I've looked at, go to internal.
[Moto G 2015 General] soumyajit9:
So what happens if I take this memory card out of the MotoG3 handset and put it in another handset (non-moto g), lets say, a Samsung ?

Shall I be able to view the data files - music, movies, images, on the new handset ?

I am not worried about apps that are installed on SD card. I am more worried about user data files like images, music files and movie files, if they will be usable on another handset.
[Moto G 2015 General] @niket:
if formatted as internal then its encrypted and u wont be able to see data other that the only moto g in which u made it as internal

if formatted as portable

then contents ll be visible even in other devices

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

you might be right

i cant comment on many different situations

this is one of them

bcz i had banking app installed before formatting as internal

a new or fresh user can give 100 percent accurate answers of all the doubts and querries

though nobody ll mind having such small apps getting installed on internal storage

what everyone want is that the bigger games/apps (sizes in GBs) to get installed and updated directly on and from SD card

as long as this condition is satisfied, they won't complain at all
[Moto G 2015 General] quakeaz:
I personally find adoptable storage very useful. I am a gamer and some games are quite large, so this helps a lot.

As far as upgrading to a larger SD card, or replacing the current SD, I had an idea. Not sure if this would work, but why not hook up a USB flash drive via OTG cable, run this command:

adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true

Move all the data from the SD card to the USB drive, insert and format the new SD card, transfer data back. It sounds like a possible solution, but I have not tried it yet.
[Moto G 2015 General] pjc123:
Well I am done with " internal storage". For my situation anyway it is completely useless. I just converted the SD to "portable storage" and couldn't be happier. Moved my music and TWRP backups to the SD card and freed up 9 GB on my phone. I can also now transfer these files between my phone's SD card and PC.
[Moto G 2015 General] twisterdroid:
Adoptable storage is nice for apps that aren't designed to save data to external SD cards (e.g. Zinio).

But Google/Motorola's implementation leaves a bit to be desired.

RIght now, you can 't select which apps to migrate. It would have been better if they presented a list of apps so you can choose which apps to leave in internal storage and which to migrate to the SD card.

Also, there's no way to have an app store files in both storage locations so if you're low on space in one location, you're out of luck as it won't automatically save files to the other location.
[Moto G 2015 General] Badd_blood:
It seems the main difference it the phone sets the SD card to be the default location for files. So when you install a new app it automatically is installed on the card if allowed, rather than manually moving it. It also saves photos and documents there by default. I agree though they should 100% virtually merge the phones internal ROM with the SD card if possible so it acts as one storage space.

You should be able to do that under each apps data usage settings. https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/109134/p/1449,9582
[Moto G 2015 General] mouse256:
It seems you can. The latest update of google play music now allows selecting the storage location! I'm not sure which api they use for that, I haven't been able to figure that out in an app myself.

But it's the only app I've seen so far that can do this. So what you say is correct for most apps.
[Moto G 2015 General] golgiapp:
This is what I'd like to know. Does this SD card then become married to this particular phone and useless otherwise? What if my phone breaks how do I reconvert the SD to normal operation again?
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
Moto - Marshmallow - SD card - Tips and Tricks

Does anyone even look anymore, or read the OP... when the card is adopted as internal storage it is formatted as ext4 and encrypted, it is just a filesystem that the phone mounts. And it cannot be read in any other device, with a few exceptions, so you can't pop it in your PC, tablet, or another phone as it is and read or write data to the card. It is adopted by the device as internal storage, it becomes it's child and no one else can take that child, it is your phones encrypted internal storage.

The card can be used again, but the data on it will be lost, simply reformat the card.

Hi,

I'm a bit new to custom ROMs although I've known for a long time what advantages it could bring. Today, I need to develop, for a project, an efficient and low latency streaming app from my old SIII camera. I thought that there may be a custom ROM that would enhance JPEG frames compression by a better use of CPU/GPU, however I did only find "Camera improved" on ROMs descriptions. I thought of Android Revolution HD, but not sure at all!

Any ms gained is good to take, so I'll be glad if anyone could help a bit here!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleanSanchez:
tl;dr Use the fastboot executable that comes with adb-tools instead of the one that comes with CF-Auto-Root

I decided to upgrade the N6 to Marshmallow today, and everything was going smoothly until I tried to regain root with CF-Auto-Root. Every time I ran the .bat file I got he error:

...

We will now attempt to boot CF-Auto-Root. You should see a red Android on the
screen of your device in a minute, with scrolling white text on top of it.

downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.004s

...

I hunted around google for a bit but couldn't find any real answer. I opened the .bat file to see what it was doing and maybe try to pinpoint the command that was failing. I saw that it was calling the fastboot that came in the CF-AutoRoot zip (tools\fastboot-windows.exe) On a hunch I copied in the fastboot.exe I had from adb-tools into the CF-AutoRoot directory, and changed all references of 'tools\fastboot-windows.exe' to 'fastboot.exe' in the .bat file.

I ran the .bat file again, and everything worked as it should. Booted into the OS and had root again.

Hopefully this can help someone in the future!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
even better.. don't use toolkits to root, especially when you are not knowing much about the processes. learn to do it properly. its easier than using the toolkit for sure, and faster. if you know what you are doing already, then its fine to use a toolkit. but if you are clueless(like most that use toolkits), then learn the right way first, because toolkits mess up, and often.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast69mopar:
I have run into the same error while attempting CF Auto Root on my 3 day old Nexus 6. I dont know exactly how to move my fastboot.exe into the windows bat file but I am pretty sure I can figure it out with some reading and research. I agree with simms22 as well. I dont like using toolkits because I dont know what the toolkit is doing when it executes. I would rather perform the steps myself so I have a better understanding of what is happening during the process. I have a good understanding of adb and fastboot even though I am new to the Nexus 6. I am not new to Android though. [MENTION=5785892]CleanSanchez[/MENTION], if there is any information you wouldnt mind passing on about how you modified the bat file I would appreciate it. Thanks for the quick little guide. I will get it figured out for sure. It may just take some time and some research. Thats all I have been doing for the first 3 days I have owned the device. I have read post after post and forum after forum here on XDA. I dont mind being a noob when it comes to a new device but Ill be damned if Im gonna make noob mistakes by getting in a hurry.

Edit:

I followed [MENTION=5785892]CleanSanchez[/MENTION] quick guide in the OP and wouldnt ya know, it worked for me too. I read a short Microsoft guide about editing Windows batch files and gave it a shot and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the guide.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plex.Le:
Rename the fastboot.exe is a bit easier than editing the bat. Thanks for the guide
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borgov:
Some clarification for anyone needing more details.

Copy the fastboot.exe. file in the tools folder, into the zip CF-Auto-Root-shamu-shamu-nexus6.

Right click on the root-windows file and then click edit.

Change all 'tools\fastboot-windows.exe' to 'fastboot.exe' should be 6 lines of changes needed to be made

Make sure your Nexus 6 is in the bootloader

Click on fastboot.exe to root your phone

I must thank you [MENTION=5785892]CleanSanchez[/MENTION] because I got this phone a couple of days ago and this is only guide that actually worked. Hours spent got me continuously failing the fastboot windows. Even though it is years after the fact, you have my thanks.:good:
