got TWRP recovery install. i have SanDisk Ultra

adaptable storage is working now. Facebook app is lagging or freeze on the SD card. How to fix the lag?

is anyone else having problem's app lagging on SD card?

and can i update (OTA) my Galaxy J5?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] umbrokhan:
NO you need Android 6 Marshmallow update or Android 7 for adaptable storage
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Garfield1970:
Did it by flashing the zip , then reformatting the SD as internal ......

It worked , yes .... BUT ..... Apps using the adoptable storage are awfully SLOW ..... I have a TDK 64gb class 10 card in there , and apps will start about 10x slower compared to internal memory :(

So what's the cause..... Before I had the apps on Sdcard , and there was almost no ( not noticable anyway ) lag when opening them , so the card should be fine ...

Remains the encrytion ....

When you format your SD as adoptable storage , it is formatted as 128 bis AES encrypted EXT4 partition . Of course , everything you read or write afterwards will have to en- / decrypted while accessing , which to me is the cause for the slowdown !

So , what are my options ?

I have a faster 64gb card in my tablet ( Samsung UHS... ) but will that really make a difference ?

The best option for me would be to be able to disable encryption for the adoptable storage , but I don't think that's possible ??

My device is not encrypted , why does it enforce encrytion on the SD-Card when you use it as adoptable , makes no real sense :)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ashyx:
You're now discovering the reasons why Samsung didn't include it by default.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Garfield1970:
Lol .... Yep , I suppose so ;) I have now reformatted the SD as portable and I'm copying the data back onto it .

But I don't give up yet ..... I will give my other Samsung SD a try tonite ...

If performance is better , i may stick to adoptable , if not , i'm back to the classic approach for good :D

Hey , but thanks for the patch anyway ... I appreciate your work , and that made me learn something again :) To make it perfect , we'd have to find a way to prevent encryption..... With a normal Ext4 partition , performance should be very good , and i like the added flexibility

Back to official status stock rom

I followed all steps and managed to flash the zip. I took a 64GB SanDisk Class 10 card and formatted it half ext4 and half windows readable (see german website https://www.androidpit.de/micro-sd-als-internen-speicher-formatieren for adb commands for formatting).

I accidently turned off OEM unlock in developer settings and rebooted the phone once. I was stuck at screen "custom binary blocked by frp lock" after turning on my phone again because of the OEM lock. So I flashed the stock rom with odin and rebooted the phone. The adoptable storage feature remained activated and I have back a clean stock rom with binary and system status official.

If I run into troubles I will post...

BTW: I don't have problems with performance on loading apps...
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ashyx:
Adoptable storage function will remain, but you won't have any options in storage settings anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kadettoulas:
Did't work for me either. Tried the root essentials and worked finally. Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] saflyfish:
Heres my issue...the migrate data function is saying its migrating but nothing gets moved..i have a 32gb sd card installed...in Settings>Storage it says....Device Storage 34,47 gb used out of 64gb...Internal Storage is saying 7,95gb used of 8gb...and Sd card says 241mb used of 29,76gb....root essentials does however recognise the entire storage partition...im getting a notification now "Storage space is running out"....so the OS is now telling the camera etc there is no storage space left..what do i do?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Garfield1970:
Getting back 2 u on this one :)

I had a 64gb TDK Class10 in my phone during the initial tests, which was very slow .

I then tried with a Samsung EVO 64gb Class10 / UHS-1 card , and the results are much much better .

Yes , it is SLIGHTLY slower when running from adopted storage, but with the Samsung Card , it is totally viable , and I'm sticking with it :)

Thanks again !
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] saflyfish:
My issue is that the OS is reporting low internal storage to all the apps and causing issues...how can i correct it?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ivan_smvc:
Hi everyone, I would like to share my experience with adoptable storage.I am using san disc extreme micro sd card 32 gigs,I flashed the zip and rebooted my phone,then I formated my sd card as portable storage after that I installed Root essentials and flashed plugin zip that was prompted by Root essential ap.After rebooting my phone I adopted sd card as internal storage with Root essential ap.I went to storage section in Settings,pressed more option menu on adopted SD card and then migrate data.Arround 1 gigs was transfered initially,I had to migrate apps manually (Settings,App manager, change storage option).

It is working very good.Viber ap,games,download section etc all on adopted SD card and working flawlesly,no lags in games,internal memory 5,7 gigs.:):):)

PS Bootloader unlocked in dev.option
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ashyx:
I would also like to point out that root essentials uses the patch I created, this is what aspluging.zip is. Root essentials did NOT work on most Samsung devices before the plugin was added.

So anyone that states the patch didn't work but root essentials did should know that they both do the same thing!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] myselfravishukla:

Only thing i did not do was a backup of sdcard lost all the data/ music pic ect. Bit it all gooood
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SheenaIsAPunkRocker:
Patch seems to be working well on my partner's phone (J500FN). She's happy she can finally install apps again. A few questions:

Once I've migrated data to SD card, does that need doing periodically, or will Android manage that automatically?

Should I disable automatic OTA updates?

Any other tips for keeping this working correctly? (I already learnt the the hard way not to disable OEM unlocking :silly: ).
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] estoned:

I inserted sd and tapped on "setup" and setted up as adoptable storage... my device is J5 2016 (J510FN)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Blisk1:
When I install that patch on samsung J5 when reboot it goes into infinite loop of rebooting, so than I need to root it again for boot normally.

The same happend when I use root esentials.

What can be wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SheenaIsAPunkRocker:
Patch has been working, but usage is

7.81 used of 8 internal

4.43 used of 59.14 SD card

How do I get Android migrate more data to the SD card??
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] catdoggy:
Hi :) Works perfectly, many thanks!

I use a 64GB card as internal storage, but ......its too much for me. Is there a way to split the card before or after the patch? For example 32 GB internal and 32 GB as "normal" SD Card?!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aytida4:
Bugs

This thing works for sometime like few days but after that the phone itself says the sd card is corrupted and you have to format it. Second thing is that when we connect it to PC it shows internal memory only 4 GB
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ashyx:
Which would be correct, you don't get to use all internal storage for yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Agasthia:
Well try another SD-Card. Maybe your phone is right and your sd card ist corrupt. Make sure to use a very high quality fast brand sd card.

I can only tell that my J5 is working like a charme for months with tons of apps loaded!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aytida4:
Hope so. I will try changing my memory card.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] saflyfish:
I have the J5,gained root access.I have installed root essentials and activated Adoptable Storage.Ive set default app install location to the SD card.

So under the storage option in settings i have "Internal Storage" and "SD card".

When i download and install an app the "Internal Storage" changes(gets less) but no change to the "SD Card" storage".

So my measly Internal Storage (8GB) is getting less and less and soon no more space for updates etc.

I want my SD Card storage to "fill up" to leave space on the Internal storage.

How can i do this?

Also,even though ive rooted the phone some apps dont have the "move to SD card" option?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ashyx:
It doesnt seem like you've enabled adoptable storage. If you have migrate data in storage settings.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] saflyfish:
In root essentials i did the whole adoptable storage process.Selected sd card,format,type in screen code etc.

What have i missed?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ashyx:
I don't know, I dont support root essentials because it used my patch without permission.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] saflyfish:
oh thats unfortunate.Sorry to hear.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] magix01:
Its internal memory so if its slow, then you will have slow camera taking images, or slow instant messaging apps such as viber pulling info from memory. I would advise you tu use atleast class 10, they are cheap and are better than class 4 or less.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] arildsotra:
I am trying to enable adaptive storage on my daughters phone, but some of these installation steps are unclear.

2. Flash it with TWRP.

Well to be able to do this you first have to download the TWRP device image and flash it. But to do this you first have to root the phone. Is this correct?

I have installed the "Official TWRP App" but am not able to install the image since I have not rooted the phone.

Am I misunderstanding something?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ashyx:
You don't need root to install a custom recovery. 2 totally independent mods.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ragazzza:
Nice explaining!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] arildsotra:
Be careful

BE CAREFUL

I did something that I should not have done.

I disabled "OEM Unlocking" on the phone and restarted the phone.

No it will not start up again.

Custom binaries blocked by FAP.

Is there anything I can do or just trash the phone?

For others don't disable developer mode or "OEM Unlocking" after installing this.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] arildsotra:
Ended up using Samsung Keys and install firmware and reset phone.

It is now back up again.

After that I installed TWRP again but did not slite the Make it Permanent option.

So when I know flash the adaptable storage zip file using TWRP, the adaptable storage does not work.

It installs but the option never appears in android.

I guess this is because I did not slide the make it permanent option, and it is actually not installed.

Installed TWRP with Odin again , but I don't get the the option to make it permanents.

What can I do to make flases I do from TWRP permanent?

Sorry.

Got it to work. That was not the problem.

Adaptable storage started working after formating the SD cars as Movable storage.

Then I got the option to format as internal.

Strange.

Then you must have replaced the patched boot image also.

App install problem

Greetings, i am very new to "phone modding" and i came here because my samsung had so little Internal storage i couldnt do anything. So read the forum instructions ( https://xdaforums.com/gal...2#post73774652 ) on how to install adaptable storage to my phone and all went smoothly i suppose. That was about a month ago. Yesterday i wanted to download a big game (pubg mobile) which is about 1.1 gb and had some problems with my storage so i tried the option "Migrate data" that said it would free some gb off my phone into the card. Little to say that the migration failed and my storage was now full 8gb / 8gb. So i restarted but had some problems again. Now when i try to download an app it fails in the installation. Right now i have 2 small apps on my phone and some photos and music. My internal storage is 6.93 gb / 8gb and my card is 4.31 gb / 14.70 gb. What can i do to get it to the original state with adaptable storage. I am afraid that if i format the card and the phone the card will not work . The real problem is that when i try to download an app an error pops up that the installation failed, what can i do to solve it?

(Phone : Samsung Galaxy J5 8GB SM-J500F/DS Android 6.0.1)

Just reformat your SD card for adoptable storage again.

You will lose all your data on your SD but its only 4GB so its not like a full SD or anything
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JimMak:
I did, now i am ok , well not that ok , now all my photos and music are on my phone's internal storage , and i cant move them to my sd's storage. Also in my storage there is the phone's storage and the sd's storage am i doing something wrong? Should i see only one internal storage? If you could help me on how to transfer my photos and music to my sd i would be gratefull as there not an option to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] garylawwd:
Yes you should see 2. But click on your SD card and not internal shared storage and migrate data. Do not migrate data in internal shared storage
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JimMak:
i am afraid that if i migrate data again my storage will bug and become full again and have to deal with the same problem again that i wrote on my post above

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

It seems like when its trying to migrate it creates a copy of the files and then transfers it to the sd but it somehow gets stuck and it says that the migration failed and then the copy stays on the phone's internal storage. After that it fills all the internal storage of the phone

http://prntscr.com/mx0aa2 here's a photo of my storage gb
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] garylawwd:
Why don't you just flash a new rom that supports it. There are tons
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JimMak:
Can i ask something my phone now about a year after the mod has a problem with the sd. I can move some big apps like messenger or instagram but when they update they come back to the internal storage and i have to move them again. Also the big problem is that all my music and photos go to the phone's internal storage so when it fulls i cant take photos. Is this is a bug?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] garylawwd:
Its not a bug just a limitation of the mod. It is what it is and wont be updated.

I still stand by what I said in my last comment just flash a new rom.

We have pie ROMs available that are alot faster than the crappy old marshmallow Samsung rom and have adoptable storage option natively built in.

If you were to use an updated rom then you wouldnt have any of these issues and all pics and videos and apps and updates of apps all go to SD card
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JimMak:
I am sorry sir but i am very new. When you say rom you refer to the Rom chip or like a mod and how can i do that?

Are you talking about this one? Before i install it do i need to format the device to clear the internal storage mod?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] garylawwd:
No you need to do a bit more than formatting you need a custom recovery

Go to settings on your phone and go to 'about phone' and find where it says build number and click on it 7 times and you unlock developer options.

Go into developer options and enable USB debugging and OEM unlock.

Download Odin on your PC and install https://samsungodin.com

Download twrp .tar file to your PC

J500f is here https://twrp.me/samsung/j5lte.html

Download USB drivers for j500f (your PC should automatically do it when you connect your device)

Connect youe device to PC and turn your device off

Next you want to put it into download mode. To do this gold the power button, vol down button and home button simultaneously

Disable auto reboot in Odin on PC. Then click the AP tab and locate the twrp file.

Flash the file onto your phone and disconnect from the PC once finished.

Next part is really important.

DO NOT REBOOT YOUR DEVICE YET. if you reboot you will lose your custom recovery.

While the phone is still in download mode after you disconnect from PC just remove the battery do not turn it off or reboot it.

Put the battery back in and then hold power button, home button and vol up button (same as putting into download only volume up instead of volume down)

This should reboot you into your brand new twrp recovery.

Just reboot device from twrp settings for now.

Next download the rom you just mentioned above and put the file on your SD card and gapps which is Google apps playstore and stuff. Get that at opengapps.org and select arm, android 9, pico package and download and save on your SD card also.

Reboot the device into twrp recovery again and click on wipe, the advanced wipe and wipe system, data, internal, dalvik and cache.

Then go to install and locate the file on your SD and flash it.

Next flash Gapps and then reboot and enjoy your new rom
