OK, so, it's working or at least it seems so.
If you go to Settings -> Storage and Backup you still get a total space of 14.56GB and the SD Card information area is greyed out as if there's not SD cars installed. If you go to Clean out junk files you get used/58.09GB (I use a 64GB SD card). Camera has SD card selected. Spotify doesn't show the option for Storage selection - I'm currently downloading all my playlists in Extreme quality to see what's what. | |

agree . more testing is needed . i must upgrade my sd card at class 10? class A? i dont know yet . i have an old slow class 4 now and i dont want to adopt this one . i think , space not apearing corectly in storage setting or adopted storage not showing up when conecting phone to pc are "adoptaple storage" feature general issues and not specific to our device | |

Ok! Done! I can move apps to the sd now. But there is no option on camera settings to save videos and photo on sd card. I am doing something wrong here? Are photos/videos stored in the sd without me seeing it?

It is working just on Flyme 6 (for me the last Flyme 6, which is available on Flyme OS, update-6.1.4.3.zip, global version). It is NOT working on the latest Flyme 7.1.1.0G version, I have tried it. And you definitely need a modern, quick microSD-card (got one SDXC, 64GB, from SanDisk, in an action for about 15€). I tried it with an older microSD-card before, which failed - during the preparation of the SDcard as internal memory it got stuck at 20%. Will start to test now as a daily driver and report any issues here again. ;-) Update some weeks later: Even after cleaning the junk files several times, the available memory is not shown correctly. And after about an month of using this "modified" phone now, the system shows me suddenly, that I have to delete some apps first, before I can install a new one. But I defenitely do not have a full memorycard (64GB) already, I have installed just a few, small apps. No games, no videos or films. Another bug: Google Appstore takes very long time to load. No matter, if I am on Wifi or mobile data. Summery: I like the phone and some of its features (very nice camera in Flyme 6.1.4.3), but without enough memory it is not usable as a daily driver for me anymore. I will just use it as a camera and as a backup, if my other phone crashes. | |
