*[PATCH]**Adoptable storage enabler** MARSHMALLOW*

[ashyx]

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

Thanks to some legwork (no pun intended) by @longshanks197 we now have a workable solution.

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

This should work for pretty much any Samsung device running Marshmallow



I advise making a backup with TWRP before proceeding.

NOTE: Due to Samsung's modifications the combined storage capacity may show as incorrect, ignore this and pay attention to the separate internal and external capacity which is correct.

INSTALL:

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

I used the S7 hack and it works perfectly, only difference is that it shows that I have 32gb of storage rather tham 24gb (8gb+16gb sd). Thanks a lot, adoptable storage is defintely the saving grace for phones with low internal storage.

Format the card as portable storage first. Reboot then try again.

That worked, there was a popup to format, didn't work in settings.

Whenever I try to format the SD card, I end up with a corrupted SD card. Using the Performance Boost Speed ROM with a SM-J500M, also using systemless su and xposed if that matters.

It should work on all J5 models. Backup your phone and flash the zip from first post. If you have problems, then post here and describe it as much as you can.

It has worked just fine for many others.
Format your card as portable storage. Reboot and look out for the sdcard notification.
If you don't see that go to storage settings.

That device runs lollipop. This patch only works on Marshmallow.
