TIPS: How to features deliver note adoptable STORAGE IN THE GALAXY S7 and S7 EDGE, WITHOUT rooting -Shortly after the announcement of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, the user who originally welcomed the return of features microSD card slot immediately found a new reason to feel disappointed, because Samsung decided to drop support for adoptable Storage features of Android Marshmallow is obviously very useful. Samsung argued that the feature could potentially make ordinary users lose their data, and they continue to provide support to move applications to the SD card, so users do not need to worry too much lose it.
But after all, Android users generally prefer that their phones can get ALL the new features, it also wants them to have full control over what they can do and vice versa. Given the Marshmallow Android allows users to use the SD card as part of the internal memory or remain as an external memory, it is understandable if the user wants the presence of adoptable Storage in S7 Galaxy phones they not?
For those of you who want it, there is a way to bring these features to the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, without rooting. But before any further, make sure that the computer that you will use to perform this setting has support for program ADB (Android Debug Bridge). Not only that, microSD card you are going to use should have a high speed in transferring and reading data.
1. Backup all data stored on the microSD card to your computer, because this process will format the microSD card.
2. Decide how large a proportion of the partition you want to use; You can use all the capacity, or share them as part of internal memory and others for external memory. Considering you are already taking this way, it would be better if you use the entire capacity of the microSD card.
3. Open a command window / terminal on the computer and then type the command 'adb shell'; make sure you've enabled USB debugging option contained in the developer settings * (* emerging if you tap on the build number of the phone until 5x)
4. Type 'sm-list disks "to see the amount of available memory, and do not forget to remember the ID of the SD card (for example: disk: 179: 160)
5. Make a partition on the SD card, yaiut by typing 'sm RATIO TYPE DISK partition.' If you want to allocate all of the memory on the SD card as part of internal memory so you can type 'disk partition sm: 179: 160 private'. If you want to divide it in half to internal memory and SD card half again as usual, you can type 'disk partition sm: 179: 160 mixed 50'. (* Note that the command disk: 179: 160 is the ID number for the SD card, so the ID number for the SD card you are definitely going to be different)
6. The process of partition will usually last for a while. When finished, go directly to the Settings app> Additional Settings> Storage and SD card You were going to be recognized as part of the internal memory. You need to remember is the total space is shown often not within the capacity of the SD card. But not to worry, because the SD card will continue to operate normally. If you install a new application, the application will be directly installed in a place that has the most memory. You will also be able to choose to anywhere, but for applications would be better to place it in the internal memory.
7. If you want to monitor the condition of SD cards that have been fused with the internal memory, you can use applications such as Freespace Freespace or Plus. Easy is not it? Good luck!
