[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] TheStrongSkye:
Hello everyone !

Many of you - Xperia M4 Aqua Users heard about Adoptive Storage on Marshmallow, but it was fake info. There isn't any adoptive storage on M4 Aqua.

If you have 16GB version - lucky you, If you have 8GB - I will show you how to create "Adoptive" Storage on this phone (This will also work on Lolipop and on any device, by the way).

What you need:

-ROOTED Device

-App2SD: All in One Tool App (You can find it on Google Play)

-SD Card (I think at least 8GB but 16GB is recomended)

-OPTIONALLY (if you already have SD Card and data on it) - a computer to backup your data on SD Card

Creating "Adoptive Storage" on Xperia:

1. Download App2SD App from Google Play

2.Run App and grant root access

3.Swipe down and search for "Partition Tool"

4.Look at the top - There is a Slider you can change the space of your 1st partiton on SD Card with it. 1st Partition is for all data, videos, music, documents you have on your SD CARD. The 2nd partition is for apps you move to SD Card. The Last - 3rd is a swap partition. If you have 8GB SD Card I recommend you to set 1st partition size to 3000mb between 5000mb and Swap Partition - around 100mb. The 2nd partition will set automatically. Don't Forget that this settings are individual - how much space you need for you files on SD Card and how many apps you want to move to SD.

There is my preset (for 8GB):

For 16GB, situation is the same. I don't know if someone want 8GB space on 2nd partition for your apps. 4GB 2nd partition size is optimal.

5. WARNING! This action will erase your data on your SD Card - Make Sure you have a backup!

I don't take any responsibility for accidentally erased SD Cards

6.If you have a backup and your partitions sizes are ok, you can tap "Yes" Button.

7.After creating partitions, the phone will reboot.

8.After reboot, start App2SD again. Probably the app will inform you that 2nd partition is not mount - don't soft reboot. Click "No" and go to "Link apps to SD Card". Then in window "Select SD Card 2nd partition and file system" check option "Advanced method" (Mount script). I have tested all methods on Xperia M4 Aqua - for me only Advanced method helped. Click OK and if you got window about systemless root, click "Yes". The App will create mount script. After that you can click the menu icon on the top left of screen and select "Remount 2nd partition" (you can also recreate mount script if something went wrong) If your 2nd partition has been remounted successfully you are ready to move apps to your 2nd partition on your SD Card.

9.Moving apps to SD is very easy and simple. Go to "Link apps to SD Card" and here you have all installed apps on SD.

Click this button to filter your apps - we want to see only User apps not system apps - its not the best idea to move system apps lol

Check "User" option and go to next step

10. Find the app you want to move and click on it. Swipe down and click "Link/Unlink". Swipe down again and check option "Select All" - you will select all application - odex, library etc and click OK. App2SD will move your application to 2nd partition on your SD Card.

11. Congratulations ! You correctly moved your app to SD ! :)

[Extra]12. You can move other apps to SD and release space on you internal storage, Google apps (like: Google Services, Gmail) may not work after moving!

as I said before moving system apps is not the best idea.

Troubleshooting:

-After Reboot i don't see moved apps ! Help!

1.If you don't see your apps after moving, try to use another method of mounting script and recreate it 2. In SuperSU app go to settings and find "turn on su during the boot" and turn it on​
