Has anybody tried the method of formatting an sd card into a partition for the note 7 the way it was done for the s7 and s7 edge?
Note 7 Adoptable Storage?

Yes if you mean Modaco
EDIT: Unless I did it wrong, didn't work. Probably Note 7 different upgraded touchwiz or something.
Yes if you mean Modaco version (ADB), there are other ways but I'm not a expert like that.

Might have to disappoint you as it seems Note 7 doesn't support adoptable storage.

Good to know, I tried the adb method but it didn't work for me, I just wanted to know if it was my mistake or if it just wasent gonna work.

It's a method of bypassing a security feature. They have to close down these exploits because they want a bigger share of the enterprise market. Most companies aren't too keen on letting people receive sensitive data on an insecure device.

This is extremely aggravating. Adopted storage can be made to be just as secure. What a pain in the arse these locked down phones are! I'd rather sacrifice most of these "security" features for freedom.
Is it still necessary with a 64gb phone? What would be the advantages? Just curious

So what happens to the internal storage after you make the SD card adoptable?
Also there's a setting in the browser to set download to SD card.
But I see your point.

If I am not wrong adoptable storage breaks your phone if you remove the SD card. And another phone won't read it.
I constantly switch SD cards and copy files from and to my friend's phones because it is faster than wireless methods.
Adoptable storage is good for people who just keep their SD card in all the time

Might as well give up our guns for "security" while we are at it! Haha
If I understand it correctly, adoptable storage also lets you set up partitions on your SDcard. So part of it will still work just like in the past, therefore allowing you to still have a user defined section of it available to still transfer data by popping the card in and out of various devices. This would be the best of both worlds.
As a mobile gamer, I SERIOUSLY hope someone finds a way to incorporate adoptable storage on the Note 7!!!! The data folders for HD games are so big these days that with just 20 HD games or so I have almost run out of storage space already on my 64GB Note 7. I have rooted all of my previous Note devices for this very reason (in order to store game data on the external card), but was hoping that the Note 7 could be the first one that I would NOT have to root. Now Samsung has screwed this up AGAIN...just like last time with the Note 5 where there was no SDcard used at all.
If anyone can figure out a way to use adoptable storage on the Note 7, it will be tremendously appreciated!!!!!!!! Thx.
The ways in which someone could use a memory card formatted in a typical manner is restricted. In a nut shell the phone treats it as a source for content like music or videos, but won't let you copy applications and other types of content to it. This also means that data that some applications use can't be moved to the cards. Applications that are for consuming content (ex: an audio book reader or a video player) potentially could use a lot of memory and there's no way to save it in anything other than the device's main memory. I personally struggle with 64-gigs. The Note 5 didn't have a memory card option at all. I have a GS7 and enabled it's memory card to be used as adoptable storage and it works great for my needs/demands. I had been hoping that between the 64 gigs built into the Note 7 and the 256 gig memory card available for it that I would have more than enough. But hearing the news in this thread strongly disappointments me.
I don't have a link or anything but there is a no root method of doing it now. People just tend to advise not using it that way as if the card becomes corrupted for any reason it may negatively affect your internal HD. Also if the card us removed for any reason it can create problems because the OS isn't set up to react to the HD being removed.
I have no experience with it myself but that's what I read about it. Biggest use the SD card would have is utilizing some of it as RAM when a root releases officially but other than that everything I've read advised using it for storage only.
Kind if sad since I got the SD card ad a promo gift but hopefully all that space will come in handy as the phone updates or gets more root love.

Just finding this it now! I've been expectantly waiting for my 256 Gig SD card just so that I could partition it and use part for adoptable storage. I am beyond belief that Samsung has blocked it! Damn them!
