A possible solution

yeah it is XD sony update is a utopia!

A possible solution that i think is a mix of linksd and this system.

Example: memory 32 gb

If we partition a memory card in fat 32 (26 gb)) and ext4 (6gb) we have more space...

microsd (26gb) divide with procedure up so....... shell blablabla sm partition disk:179:160 mixed 80 ...

NOW WE HAVE

a internal storage of 8gb

memory card (internal)8gb

fat32 18gb for foto music ecc...

and othe space ext4 6gb for installation app that not installe in memorycard(internal)

This a possible solution?? XD for me yes

P.S. for created script with linksd install app2sd created script ext4 install link sd and enjoy :D

My english is very very bad

OKAY NOW FUNCTION!!!!!

Oh... I thought the ADB trick was a different feature from adoptable storage.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ugurcansayan:
I noticed a bug: Google Play warns about there not being enough storage on the device. After cleaning cache via Settings > Storage menu, app can be installed.

I noticed this today and since the warning I installed nearly 1 GB of several apps from Play Store.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] foglianera:
Mm.. I think that it's not a bug, but the cache free the Internal storage memory and this app can installed.

The app in memory internal in future can't download the update

The problem is the installed of than app in internal memory and not in sd :(
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Keesjansma01:
Thanks jonnyd100,

I used a fast saumsung 32 GB mix 75% Adoptive and works like a charm. Now 16 Gb intern and the rest move to 24gb SD Card.

Looking good and fast enough for me :good:
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ch3mn3y:
Friend tried this method. Everything went fine till he tried splitting SD.

He got /system/bin/sh:: can't open <disk ID>: No such file or directory.

All commands was OK, so ADB should be fine.

False alarm - forgotten <> as I gave him different codes with <> not numbers like in first post :P
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] greatbal:
I'm tired of low-memory issues of my M4 Aqua. So I will dive into this mod.

I have 1 64 GB memory card. What's the best mix in formatting this card for adoptive storage? I know from OP, he suggests to limit the adoptable storage to 8GB. But reading through the posts, some people posted screenshots of their System>Storage and some have more than 8 GB adoptive storage (and seems quite happy with the mod).

I'm thinking 75% mix so I have 16GB adoptive storage and the remaining 48 GB as normal SD storage. Will that be ok?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] vyrussu:
Should work ok, only that it will report remaining space with error (-1688473788338), but everything will work for you. Dont forget to migrate data to adoptive partition before you install anything (see above posts)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] greatbal:
Thanks! I don't really mind the remaining space errors. I just want to be able to install apps and games! hehe
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] elpopa:
The same for me: 32gb, 75% and worked without any issues

The same for me: 32gb, 75% and worked without any issues

I followed the steps

1. Bakup data from SD card

2. moved back all data that have data on SD card back to internal

3. freed some storage to have internal free around 1 GB (by disableing some sony apps and google apps)

4. Used the tutorial in first page 32gb, 75% -> after I sent the '"format" command I had to wait around 1 minute to finish WITHOUT removing USB connection

5. Went in phone and Checked settings to see the result -> partition of 7.13 GB

6. Moved all apps that are possible to move to adoptive storage

TAKE care that you cannot move system apps from google or sony to adoptive. Also some apps like Whatsup cannot be moved.

But it's good that facebook which is around 400 MB may be moved, and all new apps (that support) will go directly on adoptive

7. I used the migrate data -> but I don't know if this it's a good Idea as I would like to avoid using SD card for all caching and system tasks.

I will check some time with migrate data on sd and after I'll try migrate data to internal.

8. Use in paralel also the sony transfer to sd card function to automatically transfer photos and videos that would consume internal or adoptive
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ugurcansayan:
This feature is like open beta as far as I understand.

It mostly works. To get it work, sometimes you need to motivate it. For example, if you want to install 1GB of app, un-install 20~50 MB of data/app.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] gwodus:
Geee. Thanks a lot!!! Now it's finally working.

OP: This little hint should really be added to the first post. I wonder how many "my apps still only install to internal storage"-posts could be avoided by knowing that straight away.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] sonicboyz:
I use 50:50 adop memory

Buat after instal some aplication i got storage full on playstore

That meant playstore dosent put new download app to adop sd

How to fix it?

Using class 10 32gb sd card

After delete some app and make internal storage have enough space.. I can download another app

N relize not all app can be move to adop memory

Some app cant be move like whatsappp and bbm
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] 96degrees:
Is it fully working in your devices..?

its not good enough for me even though i have done the migrate data to the adoptable part..

just a little number of applications in playstore can installed to adoptable storage. Mostly they don't..

Now..my adoptable storage still have about 6GB of free space..and 800MB free space on internal..and i still cannot download fallout shelter from playstore..:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] asterix776655:
I set it up according to the instructions here withz 32 GB SD card and mixed 75.

Looked good, almost every new app was installed on adapted SD incl. Whats App Data.

But after ~1 week all Apps that are on the card quit working.

The Icon is just some kind of grey and there is an error whe I try to start the App.

But I still can read write data to the SD card like MP3, Images etc.

Is there anybody who use this for more than 4 weeks or so ?

Which card type / brand do you use.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] tomcis147:
It's buggy don't expect to work what is not officially added my gave up on me aswell after few weeks same issue I will just stick to what I have untill first stabile CM build shows up
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Keesjansma01:
Like Tomcis147 says: Its not perfect. I use it for a few weeks now (32Gb 75% mixed)I have had a few out of memory errors and then remove some of the latest installed apps. Not all apps can work with the adoptive part, but it is way better then it was before. I really should have bought a phone with bigger internal memmory that would have been the best solution :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] 12legione:
Perfect

sorry for my English,

I used two types of microSD: first Sandisk 8 GB and second Samsung 16 Gb class 10, mix 50 and 50

in both cases the method has worked .

Before starting you have to format the microSD .

Thanks:):):):)

Hi guys, quick question as I'm trying to do this for somebody else (my sister). When I use the sm partition command it throws an error at me, the error is Error: java.lang.SecurityException: android permission.MOUNT_FORMAT_FILESYSTEMS: Neither user 10283 nor current process has android.permission.MOUNT_FORMAT_FILESYSTEMS.

Anybody else had this and know what to do to fix it?

EDIT: I am now having the same error as [MENTION=7681137]rogeralm18[/MENTION], any advice on how to solve this?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] QubaPL:
Hi. I used fast UHC 128GB SD card, with proportion 75/25 as for smaller I got some errors. I got timeout after 180 sec, but the operation completed successfully. I tried with RR3 and the internal memory was filled quickly with error when it's full. So I uninstalled, migrated as suggested, reinstalled and then all apps and games go 100% to adoptive storage, which is great.

Because of adoptive set to 32GB i got wrong totals (-123123891273B etc) but used GBs is correct. The games work and everything looks perfect.

However (!), the games load sometimes extremely slow. Asphalt 8 downloaded 1.3GB data in reasonable time, but then when started first time it took forever to load at each step. The day after it loads much faster but still 2-3 slower than it should with some loading lags. Gameplay is without lags. RR3 has to download ~300MBs before first start and it takes hours instead of seconds (I have fast internet). I left it for the night and it loaded. Now I can play it, but game loads slowly. However to download extra data for next track (40MB for example) it takes like 10 minutes (!!!)...

The card is 2x faster than internal storage according to A1 SD Bench, so I'm clueless. I will try smaller partition after I do some more tests... Any suggestions welcome. I also have another card which I might try when I have more time (16GB but used in other phone...)

// Jakub from Poland
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] QubaPL:
Update:

I used different SD benchmark and the truth is my card is 2x slower than internal memory (while still 2x faster than my other UHC U1 card) in seqentional read and write. However it is 2x slower than the other card in Random access which is more than 10x slower comparing to internal memory (!!!). I think it explains why RR3 downloads are so slow (these are multiple streams in parallel) while Asphalt8 is much better in this. This might be the reason why some games are loading fairly ok, while other take many minutes to load. The drawback is also that if multiple programs write in parallel they slow each other a lot. The overall performance is poor but stable. I'll test it for a week and see if it's usable... I guess this is the reason why some manufactures removed this function.

It might be still better than nothing, though.

Still if you can afford a new phone I'd recommend throwing 8GB M4 away ;) Z3+ or Z5 or X are worth their price...

About some apps not installing to the SD card, its because the app developer can choose whether or not it can be sent to adoptable storage.

One device detected one not

Hi there,

I´ve got a really weird problem that drives me crazy:

There are 2 identical Xperia M4s. Both Android 6.0.1, same Build Number etc.

ADB driver and platform tools are installed. USB Debugging is activated on both devices. All other developer settings are disabled.

Now, when I start the command line and type "adb devices" one phone doesen´t show up in the list if connected via USB.

Only one device is connected at the same time.

If I change the phones the other one is listed without any problems and I can continue with "adb shell"

I´ve tried almost everything. Made a factory reset with both. Configuration is the same.

I have no idea anymore. I would be very glad for any help.

Chris
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] QubaPL:
I had a similar problem with a timeout after 180000ms. But after that, I realized that the card was actually successfully formatted as expected. The timeout is at ADB (PC) side, but it not necessary must mean that it failed in the phone...

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

Using adoptive storage if you have 16GB variant makes no sense to me. Should work. Might report wrong sizes. But it's no difference until use migrate - use card as main storage, which is much slower and makes only sense if you have no space (8GB variant). Just put all pics, vids and data on your card and you'll be all good ;)

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

Tl;dr: Adoptive Storage works really slow for most games and can get completely corrupted when you're unlucky... I need a better phone.

I wasn't happy with how slow games moved to adoptive storage (full migrate) are slow, as opposite to internal memory, so I did some tests migrating them forth and back. If you migrate app, it still is assigned to original storage (internal for example) and is displayed there, but it only occupies space on the target storage (ex. SD). Apps installed after migration are assigned to the new storage, but if you migrate them back they will still remain assinged to it while being completely moved to the target storage. I.e. it all works as it should but what's displayed might be confusing to less experienced user.

However, once I clicked to move/change storage for one app I had situation like this:

[ ] internal

[x] SD Card ( I think it was adoptive part of SD card)

[ ] SD Card

I guess that's because it was migrated to Adoptive. When I semi-accidentally ;) clicked to move it's data to SD Card the PHONE CRASHED AND ADOPTIVE STORAGE GOT CORRUPTED. No apps from adoptive worked, but rest of SD card was accessible. The phone suggested the SD Card is corrupted and needs fixing / reformatting. I did it eventually, which means I had everything whipped out of my card :(

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jam2007:
When an all-day calendar event is marked free (not busy or out of office) and the automatic profile is selected, the TyTN II switches to vibrate mode. I expected the phone to remain in the normal sound profile, as if there wasn't a scheduled appointment. Is there a fix for this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] greg3d:
But you Do have an appointment, as you said you have an all-day calendar event...so in essence, it's an appointment.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CorruptedSanity:
Well no not really, its not an appointment because that would require him to be busy or out of office, its a reminder because he set the status to free.

I can say that using SPB Phone Suite in automatic profiles will not switch to meeting mode (i.e silent or whatever I set the profile to) if the appointment/calendar-entry is set to free.

The problem is that if I have a 2 day event which starts on the last day of the week (i.e Friday) and ends on the first day of the next new week (i.e Monday), on Saturday & Sunday my phone will go into meeting mode/profile which is really annoying. I wish the phone knew that weekends dont count as work days or that it would ask me if I really have 2 day event which cooincides with the weekend or is it really a 4 day event.

I have a sim-unlocked AT&T S7 phone that I have running wonderfully with my T-Mobile sim, no problems there.

My questions

1) I'm on the February build is there a way to update manually since About Phone > Update is saying my phone is up to date.

2) Other than package disabler, is there a way to flash a 'clean' version of the firmware? Without the AT&T bloat, or is the package disabler the best way to go?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] SkyAttacksX:
You can ODIN flash the latest firmware to update (will lose data) .

Then you can root , and flash the U firmware over it and it will be unrooted , Samsung Pay and everything working , stock and all - debloated essentially .

I rooted my phone with the correct methods as in the threads below mine, and I purposely havent updated my phone for a while, just in case the root would only work for older system versions.

I'm just curious to know if, now that I'm rooted, is it safe to update to PE1, and will it fix the Android System battery drain? I've also downloaded all the root fixes too, as well as the Debloat, so my original System Updates app doesn't work anymore.

I would love to get just some answers from the pros on this before possibly bricking or boot looping my amazing phone. :)

Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Squall429:
So I can just take the update now, WHILE rooted and I'll be fine? Will I have to re-root after the update is done, or do I just continue using it as normal?

Will I have to re-flash the new fixes for the PE1 version and stuff? Since I have flashed the old NON-PE1 fixes, will this brick my phone when updating to PE1?
