How to configure adoptable storage on your S7 / S7 Edge



If you read some threads on XDA you will have seen that a feature that lets you use the microSD card just like internal storage, is missing. The S7s do include a feature where you can move apps to SD card, but it's not quite the same as on other mobiles from Samsung. You have to enable this feature via ADB.


Instructions:

1. Backup all data on your phone and on your micro SD. Your Micro SD will be wiped during the process! Save all data to your PC.
2. Now think about, how much space do you want to split on your micro SD. You can give the whole SD card or only one part.
3. Now install ADB on your PC and enable USB-Debugging in Developer Options of your Samsung Galaxy S7.
4. Type adb shell
5. Type sm list-disks to see all disk, which you can split.
6. Look which ID your micro SD have: disk:179:160
7. Now mount your sdcard with this command sm partition disk:179:160 private (use your disk ID)
8. If you want to use only one part (50%) of your Micro SD use this: sm partition disk:178:160 mixed 50

Move Apps to SD Card:

1. Go to Settings> Advanced Settings>Storage and you will be able to see advanced storage.

Disclaimer:

1. I am not responsible for dead sd-cards or dead phones.
2. You should use a fast sd-card. Otherwise youer Galaxy S7 will become slow.
