[PATCH]**Adoptable storage enabler** MARSHMALLOW

[smudge100]

Via ADB

Your still using stock recovery. You need to install twrp.
Follow the instructions to the letter.

I'm connected to my car stereo (android marshmallow) via WiFi. I have not installed twrp as it not a listed device.
can i flash the patch using adb from my pc, im connected to the car, which is in terminal mode.

??? thanks

Has it got root?

 

[smudge100]

Yes, it is rooted and has busybox installed.

 

[ashyx]

Yes, it is rooted and has busybox installed.

Then you have a couple of choices:
Install Flashfire and flash the zip or use Root Essentials

As you may all know Samsung disabled the Adoptable storage function in the Tab S. Even the well known S7 hack doesn't work. Well now it's back...

Thanks to some legwork (no pun intended) by @longshanks197 we now have a workable solution.
As previously thought, Samsung disabled adoptable storage in the framework.

I have created this patch to fix the issue by patching the boot image and replacing sm.jar in system.
This will enable the adoptable storage feature in Settings>Storage


NOTE: I advise making a backup with TWRP before proceeding.

INSTALL:

Copy the zip below to your device then install with TWRP.

Has anybody tried it on Android Oreo? It works in Nougat.

 

[OPOt585]

I'd like to know this as well

You can always be the first one.

 

[howsie]

I just tried this on my note 8 running Oreo and it doesn't work at all....... Very unfortunate

Are you running a stock based ROM or another flavour?

Cause I tried it on stock S7 Edge Oreo (G935F) today and managed to get it to work (I flashed Magisk and rebooted before hand)

 

[pathar]

I managed to get it to run on Oreo on my Tab A SM-T580, and it definitely lumped the storage together, but it's saying that all the data on my SD Card is in use! So I have the same free space. I even used FreeSpace to check it, and it agrees. Thoughts?

Just tried it and it works. I am using TGP Oreo.

SM-T800 Galaxy S 10.5 - Works but does not merge the Storage

Hi,

Thanks for making this. I used it on my SM-T800 Galaxy S 10.5, and can now enable Adoptable Storage, however it does not seem to "merge" the internal and external storage. I still see them as separate devices, and, when I connect the tablet to Windows, it only sees the external SD card storage. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi, tried this on my Tab S 10.5 today. After installing the TWRP using Odin and flashing the adoptable storage patch, I am stuck in that stupid reboot loop. I did selected "Allow modification to system partition..." in TWRP.

Anyone else had the same issue as it appears to be a very common one on these Samsung tablets. Any suggestion for a quick fix for this please. I am getting random reboots at the moment all the time since I tried flashing the recovery and patch. Any help would be appreciated.

My SM-T800 tablet is running Android version 6.0.1 (Marshmallow).. Yesterday I installed TWRP 3.3.1 and performed a backup of the default items selected. Then I installed CF-Auto-Root-chagallwifi-chagallwifixx-smt800.tar and adoptable_storage_enabler_ashyx with TWRP. After rebooting the device I had the option to use my SD card as an internal device. However, after formatting the SD card for internal use my total space read 256 GB (2 times the size of my SD card) rather than the total actual space (16GB internal plus 128GB SD card). Also the free space still reflects what is available on my SD card, which is not very much at all.

Any ideas? Is there a ROM that already includes this patch? I wouldn't mind doing that if that's the case.

Apl didn't go to sd card

Hei Ashyx, First of all i wanna say thanks to you cuz making this and i have some question about this.
So i have Samsung J2 Prime and i flash this zip to this phone but after that i just realize that when i download and instal apl, all of 'em did not go to the sd card is that bug or something thanks

I hope you reply this cuz this mean a lot for me

samsung tab a sm-t580. twrp 3.1.1-1. magisk. no-verity.
tried with n without adoptable storage patch.
tried with unformatted. formatted with windows 10 as fat.
none worked.
well as soon as i clicked to use sd card as adoptable storage, i got into a boot loop. i could not get out of it regardless of what combination i tried in TWRP. for mounting. for storage.
my aim is to have slow apps on sd card n fast apps on tab. if thats not possible then i would like all apps on sd card, new install as well as updates. any solutions? i am running liquid remix 10 rom.
when just to check, i tried to use sd card formatted as storage from tab, the screen kept shutting off every 15 second or so making it unusable. thinking of clean install hoping at least will work formatted as storage.

Hi guys,

Android file host cannot find any mirror for this file... Is there another safe way to get it?

Thanks!
