Setting up a new SD card as internal storage on lineageOS

[najeb3]

Hello everyone
I am trying to set up a new sd card as a new storage, but it seems it is not working .
When I select internal storage it reaches 40% then the phone restarts by it self. After that, once I enter into storage settings i find the following results in the attached screenshot. I do not know why it becomes corrupted. Is it possible to have the Adoptable Storage feature ??
Sometimes it tells me sd appears to be slow as shown in the second screenshot.
I tried to use root essentials, but it did not work

Currently I am running LineageOS 13 (6.0.1).

The adoptable storage works fine on my phone.
It did on CM13 and does now on Lineage 14.1.

Did you try a different sd-card?

I only have that new SD card, choosing the first option works fine, while as internal storage (second option) does not work.
but how did you get LineageOS 14 on the s4 mini. Last release is in 2017-04-22 11:58:45 for lineage-13.0

You can get LOS14 here on XDA, thanks to Arco: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-s4-mini-3g-lte-t3471761

anyone has some sort of guide on how we go about setting external microSD to be recognised as internal storage?

After you buy a microSD card, it's a MUST to always check it with H2testw, for example, incluiding the write test.

I've had bad experiences with cards bought as original, with original packages and everything seems to be legit, but when I inserted them into the phone the result was the same as yours. One thing I've seen is that the original "good" card is displayed in the phone as "Sandisk SD Card", while the "fake" card is displayed as "SD Card" (without brand). This gives me another clue that your card is a fake one (as seen in your screenshoot).

I Would like also to see a guide on how we set external microSD as internal storage, to verify my steps.

I think I bought an original one from a famous hyper market in my city. Anyway, attached a photo of it. It is actually SanDisk . You added an important note which is the test. I will check this link and reply later with the results . Thanks for your valuable comment

After some research, I found out that my SD card is class C10. which is not suitable for recording HD or Full HD videos. I am thinking of moving to class U3 which is much faster and better.
I tried to use H2testW , but it did not work. I got the following error:
"" Error writing file 'E:\1.h2w', offset 0x0.
(The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. Code 1117) ""

Have you tried to format it first?

Sandisk SD

Finally, setting up the SanDisk SD card is successfully done in the last build (April) of the serrano3gxx as per the screenshot.
