1) SD Card as INTERNAL Storage/ROM to increase the INTERNAL storage capacity. - If SD card is used as internal storage, it should get encrypted. - Increase SD card storage support to 128/256 GB.

  1. You can use ecryptfs to create encrypted directory tree on the card.
  2. There is no limit to the SD card size, the limit is the FAT filesystem which you don't want to use anyway. Just format your card to ext4 and any size, however large works
  3. You can use the card as "internal storage" by soft links, this works of course better when you have a proper filesystem like ext4 on the card

@juiceme I want this functionality but I want it out of the box, I don't want to fiddle with softlinks that most likely I will forget in a while leading to any sort of trouble. This is an important feature that should be addressed by SFOS as standard.
