Is it possible to allocate more user storage form an sd card? - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

After buying a new sd card, I expected that I would have much more space for music and other files.
I inserted the card (64 GB) as adoptable storage, but I can only use around 9 GB of it.
Is there a way to allocate more sd card space to user storage, so I could use more of it? Is or is using it as portable storage the only option?

USB Storage vs SD card

I have XXKB9 ROM installed.
When I goto Settings > SD card and phone storage, it has follonings
SD card - 7.38 GB (sub menus Total space, Available Space, Unmount SD card & Format SD card - Disabled)
USD Storage 1.52 GB (sub menus Total space, Available Space, Format USB storage)
Device Memory - 1.56 GB
When I try to transfer an app to the SD card, It only move to the USB storage not to my physical SD card (8GB). With some apps, this USB storage show as Internal SD card & the SD card as External SD card.
How to move apps to the real SD card (8GB)?
Also the menu does not allow me to format the SD card as that option is disabled.

[Q] 2 x internal / 1x external storage (partition)

Hallo,
For a moth or so my Note runs on a Custom JB ROM.
and today i wanted to install the new TomTom app.
i requires me to download a additional 3.1 GB
but i says that theirs not enough memory available.
that's strange, i just put in a brand new 16gb SD card.
so i checked the storage info.
Internal 1,9GB
internal(second??) 11GB
SD-card 15GB
on default in installs apps on the fist Internal memory,
so if transferred i to SD.
BUT in transferred it to the Second internal memory instead of the SD-card.
so i checked the form and found out that i can change a file to mount de SD as internal,
but than i have 11GB of lost space on my phone,
is there a way to partition(combine/merge) the first en second Internal memory??
no
internal 1 is system
internal 2 is internal sd
and this is the same on GB/ICS too?? so should work..

Is there a way to increase storage for the XSP?

the Xperia SP is almost having its month on my hands. As we all know, lollipop consumes a lot of internal storage, so is there a way to increase internal storage? like install apps on the sdcard? please teach me masters
Go to settings, apps, menu, preferred install location, select removable SD card.
Your apps will install on ext. SD card (if possible). You have to move Already installed apps yourself.
you can do a sd card partition i think and then make some space of the sd card look like internal storage ...e.x: if you have internal storage like 5g and you have a sd card 4g ...you did a partition to the sd card and made 1g for the internal storage >your phone now will show you a 6g internal and 3g sd card,,,,,i don't if this will work on lollipop and our phone but you can have a look here

A way to swap internal storage with micro sd card?

Hi guys, I was wondering if there is a way to swap internal storage with the micro sd card on the Z3C. Cuz I have used an android phone before which had only 8gb of internal storage and it was a jarring experience, I had to move apps to the sd card and always keep an eye on the storage, I didn't like that.
If there isn't a way then please tell me how do you manage your storage with that 16 gb of internal storage.
No, that's a pipe dream.
Only a few devices can do that, and from what I remember the Nook was one of them.
Just move everything to SD card if you're using Lollipop.

How to see external SD storage in the file browser?

I have formatted a class10 32gb ADATA microsd card as internal storage, and sure enough, apps download and install automatically on the emulated internal storage on the external SD card.
All fine and dandy, however I can't seem to be able to see and browse the content of the sd card. I tried the stock file browser and root browser, but they only show the actual internal storage.
