Hi all, been banging my head against the wall with this one so thought I'd bite the bullet and ask on the forums..
I have this phone and with 8GB internal storage and now its updated to Marshmallow I can barely get 2 apps on it before it runs out of space. I heard about Adoptive/Adoptable storage where my 64GB SD card can be seen as internal storage (but of course the Sony version on this phone doesn't have that option).
I tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/adoptive-storage-marshmallow-t3421828 and eventually got the adb stuff to accept the commands to make 50% of the card adoptive (had to use a different, better quality card). But even though that seemed to work I was expecting to have 8GB+32GB of internal storage. What happened was I got a really big random number stated as my internal storage (which I don't care about) but I then tried to download a smallish app and was told not enough storage. So this clearly didn't work and I was thinking maybe this hack enables me to move those apps to the SD card that previously would refuse to move - but this wasn't the case either (built in apps that refused to move before, still refuse to move). Would anyone know how this *should* work and if so, a link to some instructions that may get it to work.
Thanks very much
John
