External SD card issue on CM11 (unofficial) ROM - Xiaomi Redmi 1S

Hi everybody, please I need your help.
I installed on my Redmi 1S this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-1s/orig-development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-11-t2909757
I find it a nice, good and stable ROM.
It has only one major problem:
it says that it can't save the photos to the external SD card due to the Androis KitKat limitations.
In Settings/Storage I can't find the option to set the external SD card as a default storage place.
Probably because of this the storage capacity of the phone is not shown correctly to.
Is out there a flashable zip, or anything else to resolve this problem?
Thanks.
(Sorry for my bad English)

Hi, it is on the camera. Hit camera and find the options icon, should be on the right. Find settings and goto more settings. Change the storage from "Internal Memory" to "SDCARD".
Glad to help,

Hi, thanks for your reply.
You say: "Change the storage from "Internal Memory" to "SDCARD".
Well, that's not working.
1. When trying to change storage option, a pop-up message says that's not possible due to KitKat's limitation.
2. And yes, in Setup/Storage settings there's no option to set the external SD card as a default storage place.
3. Regardless of that, the File Manager recognizes the external SD card.
In my opinion this ROM does not contain the option to select the default external SD card, so, through an update or a flashable zip or using a custom kernel it should be included in the CM 11 ROM.
So I'm asking again: is out there a custom kernel, a flashable zip or un update that can resolve this major issue of this ROM?
Thanx.

I cannot swap my external sd and internal memory even with agni kernel

I am using N7100, pheonix Rom 16,7. Agni kernel.
I really need more internal space, so I tried several things
1. Pheonix Rom and tick the option to swap memory.
Result: After installation, I reboot, but I got lots of "unfortunately,...." popups just like many people has encountered, I really don't know why and how to solve this
2. nitol (nice and patient guy, thank you) told me I should try agni kernel now, because it ever offer the option in kernel control app. So I did it
Result: After turned on the option "int2ext", I reboot. I can get into system normally, but when I check the storage through setting. The internal space is still 16gb, looked exactly the same as it did before rebooting. The difference is the external sd card is only 10gb left. I think this means the internal space has been successfully set as external one. But my external one is not set as internal one. I also check the folders through ES file, and I found my external sd space is actually is under a folder named "0" under my root.
I don't know why is it like this so can anyone help me?
Thanks

[Q] SD Card as main/default storage

Hi, can I use SD Card as default storage? How? I have a 64 GB SD Card, but every App/Games data is in external storage(which have only 10 GB, and now it is full), when I move Android folder from external storage to SD card, every game stops working, because can't find data and try downloading it again to external storage. I try several app for moving to the SD card, but without luck, Is there any solution? Thank you.
app removed sorry
Why would you think that just moving an app's data would be okay? How on earth would the app know where you moved its files to?
Have you tried Apps2SD?

Yes, without luck. I move it to the SD card, but its same as when I do it with file explorer, game canť find data and trying downloading it again..
Are you running a custom ROM? I thought from your signature you were on Viper. Then I realized its not a Viper version number (7.0.0) that applies to this phone.
I think the SD card fix needs to be applied for Apps2SD to work, but most (if not all) custom ROMs should already have the SD card fix implemented.

Using 'Adopted Storage' can I install Custom ROM?

Is it possible to install a custom rom on my HTC 10 (bootloader unlocked, rooted) and keep the adopted storage option?
There are a distinct lack of options in TWRP when searching for zip files... I'm not sure what folder it actually shows, but in choice of location options I am given External SD (0Mb) and USB OTG (0Mb).
I couldn't get Xposed installed coz it wouldn't find the .zip file, until I took out the SD card and replaced it with one that wasn't previously used as adoptive storage. That had the .zip on, and it worked fine... I then replaced the original SD card and all seems OK, but I'm not sure this would work with a Custom ROM?
Any help/suggestions?
Cheers

Yes. When you boot into a freshly-installed ROM (and assuming you've wiped everything, as you should have), you'll have the option to set up adopted storage with your SD card, just as you did when you initially put it into your device.
This also assumes whatever ROM you install hasn't disabled adopted storage, but I can't think of any offhand that do.

Was going to try this at the weekend.......in theory it becomes 1 massive internal storage, but if twrp is only giving you option for external SD or USB it sounds like it doesn't support this new feature yet. I'm going to try it this weekend I'll post here if it works for me or not

Thanks, that sounds helpful. The only problem I have with that is getting the phone to find/read the ROMs .zip file. I'm clicking cancel on the first 'de-encrypt' popup in TWRP but then on second, swiping to allow system to be modified but for the life of me I can't seem to get it to find .zip files (originally bluetoothed over, but then moved via Root Explorer - set to RW mode - into various folders within system)

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 (10.1, Wi-Fi) SD card internal or external storage.

Hello
I have this new Galaxy Tab A 2016 (10.1, Wi-Fi) with Android 6.0.1 and update with the latest original firmware.
I read that the new Marshmellow has an option that lets you choose whether to use the SD Card as internal or external storage.
I inserted a new micro SD Card with 64 GB , as the internal memory is only 16 GB, but nothing happened, and I cannot see anywhere, how to use this option.
The SD Card has been formatted by the tablet but it is seen as external.
Any help without root or other custom rom?
At least on my CyanogenMod custom rom (marshmallow), you have to go to "Storage & USB" (or maybe just storage). Click on menu at top right. If not, click on SD card. Find menu at top right and press "Settings" and then "Format as internal" (or try something like this).
Check this website first: howtogeek.com/242937/how-to-set-up-a-new-sd-card-in-android-for-extra-storage/
Hope this helps!
Just asking, why is this in Galaxy Tab 3 Help and Troubleshooting?
Disabled by Samsung.
There are ways to enable it on a rooted device.
Unfortunately yours cannot be.

Interesting if you boot into trwp can that see your sd card? So under storage the sd card isn't visible at all? Have you tried formatting it?

Yes, I can see it fine under TWRP. I thought maybe it couldn't recognize exFAT, so I formatted it to EXT4. But it's still not showing up at all.

That is weird, do you have another android peripheral that you could prospectively format the card in and try? Alternatively you could wipe and reinstall. I blew away the android internal storage and installed from my SD, just about everything works except the sd storage option. That's an issue storage and app wise so I may go back to marshmallow lineageos if I can't sort it.
Failing that back to stock lollipop should that fail.

I don't have another android device, but I do have a linux machine, (actually, I only run Linux in my home), and I can read and write the card no problem in my desktop machine. I haven't tried it on my HTPC/Plex server yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. On stock Lollipop, I can see the card, but it's read only. Oh, I should have been clearer. I can see the card on the tablet, but it doesn't display anything. It says "contents not found", and I can't enable writing to it for Root Explorer.

That is weird you got me stumped, other than a rebuild I got nothing. Try the card in a mate's phone if possible better than wiping the unit first.
If that doesn't work I got nothing. Truth be said I'm no expert, I try my best.
Hi all
I updated the Lineageos ROM the AOSP I had no hardware issues or software issues on the OS. However please note that if you use this ROM for some reason you will lose the TWRP Recovery.
I installed the AOSP ROM 7.1.1 first, didn't reboot and then installed the Gapps file, upon reboot it stayed on the splashed screen, so I then booted into the standard recovery and wiped/factory reset the unit, all good since and it is running smoothly, just wanted you to let you know that the Lineage ROM isn't the only option.
I also had the options for the SD card and UI System tweak was also there, good luck. If anyone wants assistance I am happy to assist.
Soks

Hey mate I found an alternate fix and everything works, look at AOSP rom and let me know if you have any questions.

I have also a problem with the SD card. I have the newest build and the SD card is seen in the settings and also in file manager can read/write, but other apps somehow don't see it, I cannot set the camera to save photo to external storage, also in Google play music I cannot choose to store music to external card, the options are not there. On my Galaxy S5 also with Lineage it works perfectly. Secondly, in the settings I can only format the SD card as portable, not as internal, but that would not bother me if the apps would see the card and I could use it as storage.
Solution for sd card write issue?
Did you ever find a solution? I have the same devices and exactly the same problems.

Have the same problem on my SM-P605 - have had problem since at least the 20170713 nightly build when I started using LineageOS (am currently running 20170830 nightly).
The SD card appears under settings - I can format and eject the SD card, it appears under /mnt/media_rw/76AC-17ED, but
doesn't appear as a SD card in Amaze file manager
doesn't appear as a SD card in ESExplorer (only Internal Storage appears on the home page)
I cannot set the camera location to save photos on it
doesn't appear under /storage (i.e. /storage/76AC-17ED)
It's as if the storage is mounted, but isn't flagged as being a SD card.
Any ideas -- anyone??

I think I found a solution your problem. Well, it worked for me.
Firstly I backed up my SDCARD
Then went to Settings, Storage Settings tabbed on SD card and tab on options [three dotted things].
Formatted my sd card as internal, when I went back to my applications there was an option to move them to external.
[WARNING]One problem is that if you format it as internal it will not show as different storage systems on your pc WILL SHOW AS SHARED STORAGE!!!!
******** I Had So Many Issues I Would Not Recommend It *********
Hope that helps you

Thanks for the suggestion - but didn't work.
When I click the three-dotted-things only option I see is (under Storage settings) is "Format". I format the card - but still cannot move apps to it or set as camera location.

Manual Fix
Hi.
I just got it running on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (LTE).
This guide worked for me: modaco.com / news / android / heres-how-to-configure-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632
Guide also referenced in this German HowTo: androidpit.de / micro-sd-als-internen-speicher-formatieren
I did the 50:50 format on my 200GB SD card.
Please remove the blanks in the links. Had to put them in because forum software did not allow me to include links.
