Adoptable Storage, function started with the release of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, is not present in the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge out today from Samsung. However, this little tutorial helps you find the fusion of internal memory and SD card relatively easily, without root.
The Korean manufacturer had decided that the only Adoptable Storage is not supported by the Galaxy S7 and a concern to avoid confusion for consumers that could, according to the manufacturer to remove the data of their card unintentionally.
However, the implemented functionality from Android 6.0 Marshmallow is useful since it allows truly install an application on the card, unlike the current solution which allows to move the post-installation important files.
However, even though Samsung did not offer office, function rest implemented the system . Let us show you how to find it easily and enjoy its benefits on your smartphone brand new.
Find Adoptable Storage on the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge
In truth, Korean manufacturer has only remove the ability to format directly on their phone SD card so that it is recognized as a storage memory taken by the system. So just we do it via PC
Step 1 . First, consider to backup the entire contents of the SD memory that will be formatted during the following operations
Step 2 choose how you want the card to be formatted. Indeed, if you dedicate to storage adoptable, it will be readable by your phone. You can therefore decide to dedicate a certain portion on the phone and another still readable by your PC. The best is to fully dedicate map
Step 3 . ADB install if this is not already the case
<. p> Step 4 select developer Mode (repeatedly click “build number” in “about phone”) on your Galaxy S7. In the new menu “Developer options” appeared after the operation, enable the “USB debugging”
Step 5 . Connect your phone with its SD card , and open a command prompt in the directory where ADB has been installed. .-Y type “adb shell”
Step 6 You are now connected to your phone by ADB mode. Tap the “sm-list disks” to retrieve a list of available storage space on your phone. Find the number that identifies your SD card: in the example, it is “disk: 179: 160″
Step 7 . We will now format the card. For example, we use the same code as seen above, but of course you must use the code that suits you. If you want to format the entire card for adoptable storage, simply type “sm disk partition: 179 160 private” . If you want to separate into 50/50, simply type “sm disk partition: 179 160 50 mixed”
Step 8 . Formatting starts and can take some time. But when it is over you will see that the phone defers many conventional memory and SD card as internal memory
Step 9 . Return to developers options and turn them
the system now will choose himself where record your files depending on the speed of your memory card and places free on either storage spaces naturally, to optimize its performance itself.
however, you can move yourself some elements of internal memory storage SD . We warmly recommend the applications that are installed only on the internal memory , for the sake of speed.
One of the particular points of this manipulation is that the total number of internal storage + adopted becomes strangely false . Thus, for a 64GB SD card coupled with 32GB of memory, the system postpones 128GB of space in total. This however will not affect the use of the phone, but that is purely visual.
However, if the manipulation no longer liked you in the future, you just simply reformat the card to find the usual FAT file system on Android. Attention a partitioned SD card will cause more difficulty in this case
Best.
