Adoptable storage not available on LG Stylo?

[Baley17]

So i found out about this adoptable storage now available with the marshmallow update however i cannot seem to get it to work. I attempted to format my sd card and the option to firmat for primary storage was not applicable. I formatted anyways thinking i'd see the option to do so on the next page. My phone automatically made it a portable storage device with no option to change it. I restarted my phone and tried again to no avail. I checked to make sure everything had indeed updated correctly and it had. I could really use this feature and not having it is frustrating so any thoughts are welcome. Thanks so much.

The LG Stylo 2 doesn't have the adaptive storage feature. The adaptive storage feature wasn't available on the original G Stylo after Marshmallow update. LG removed the feature.

I cannot believe LG had the brilliant idea of eliminating the ability of moving apps to the SD card. Why have it at all if you cannot use it. I thought all Android version 6.0.1 were the same. Maybe I'm just ignorant about Android. I even tried downloading an app that allows me the ability to transfer but that doesn't work either. If Android doesn't allow it they won't either. I'm ready to return it and go with what was my first choice, the Galaxy J7. I guess I learned a lesson. If anyone has an answer I'd love to know what it is.

You can enable it either by rooting and using a build.prop.editor (very easy) or by using ADB to force it to adoptable.

It works on the Metro/Tmobile version as well.

I use root essentials

does not need root, try

run adb shell
type: sm list-disks
returns : disk:179,128
type: sm list-volumes all
returns: private mounted null
public:179,129 mounted FD00-0AF0
emulated mounted null
type: sm set-force-adoptable true
type: sm partition disk:179,128 private
type: sm set-force-adoptable false
type: sm list-volumes all
returns: emulated:179,130 unmounted null
private:179,130 mounted 33dacc29-eb64-4f61-bad1-4f574dc22102
private mounted null
emulated mounted null


---------------------------------------------------------------
sm list-disks <-- get the id of your sd card that will be used in the sm partition command, after that on your phone
then go to storage-sdcard, options select migrate data, it will reformat the sd as internal

Has anyone tried enabling adoptable storage for the Stylo 2 plus?

Yes, that formula does work.
