Fixes To LG G Pad X 8.0 V521WG (T-Mobile) Tablet SD Micro Card Expansion Usage Issue For Android OS App - AppMgr III

How To Make Your SD Micro Card An Internal Storage SD (and Not a SD card Portable Storage)To Work With AppMgr III or Other SD Mover Android Apps

Revision: I notice we wanted to perform the 50% split for allowing to use internal and as well as portable SD storage that other Android apps can use for storage. Please follow my updated PDF guide that is attached, thanks!

NOTE: Please see attached PDF for a clean and correctly formatted layout, thanks!

Goal: Why can't you make your SD Micro card to work with like popular AppMgr III (a SD Android app to move apps to SD card to save space) or other SD Mover Android apps?? And why does it said it was supported for SD Micro up to 128GB such as the SanDisk SD Micro card 128GB or the 200GB?

Why didn't work and the app doesn't do a great job of explaining the reason why. This is because even though your Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow see it and you can format it but it see it as a "Portable Storage" SD card and not as a Internal Storage.
