For Sprint phones, temp root only. You lose root once the phone is rebooted. For other models with 2 GB / 16 GB internal and the 13 MP phone, you can gain permanent root that is easily reversible.

I have the same problem. I have a 32 GB SD card and over 25 GB availalbe, but I get the same "Not Enough Storage Space" message when I try to move apps to the card. I've read on other forums that many folks are having this same problem. Haven't found a solution, however.
There is no solution yet. I have the same issue. After going back and forth with LG, finally someone answered my question. This is the last email I got from LG.
Hi Tom,
Thank you for contacting LG!
We regret any inconvenience you’re having. Upon checking, I’m afraid that the Adoptable Storage feature has been removed on the Marshmallow update of the LG G Stylo and this means you may not be able to fully use the SD card as internal storage of the device. I’m so sorry to disappoint you in this matter.
Should you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us again via Email, Live Chat, or Phone by calling 1-800-793-8896.
Thank you and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Edrian

Re: LG G STYLO - not enough memory on sd card? BEHOLD, click this..not now, but RIGHT now!
I have finally figured out the age old mystery, how to effectively save space on your LG Stylo while still having 2 full pages of apps (MAYBE MORE.)There are a few things you can do that will get the job done.
1. Clear the "cache" on your bigger apps (IG, Twitter, Facebook, SC.) It's nothing but extra data that you're not using, and you can erase it.
2. Move any and every app to your SD card. If the option is available, MOVE IT! (Storage options)
3. Clear the extra windows on your device. CLEAR ALL the ones you're not using, and pin down the ones you want to keep. (Top right hand of your screen)
4. Keep your phone updated. It will help it run better.
5. Keep your phone charged until the battery is FULL.
6. Get a case phone, it will keep your phone protected.
I hope this advice helps, and good luck with saving data, I know the struggle. I've been a faithful android user for year lol #TeamAndroid

I discovered two deeper issues relating to why my phone’s available “internal memory” continues to shrink. Yes, clearing the phone’s cache and, if possible, moving user-apps to an external SD card did help somewhat. However, it did not resolve the underlining issue where available internal memory continues to shrink over time. As a result, to avoid low memory warnings and increase internal memory, I had to uninstall some user-apps. Eventually, I reach a point where phone’s internal memory was critically low again, and I cannot delete any more user-apps. As a result, I was forced to perform a full factory restore. While a factory restore returns the phone to a perfect clean state, freeing up all the internal memory again, I eventually would find myself back in the same sinking boat, with a phone suffering from low memory…
OK, here is what I discovered as the problems. First, there are numerous “write##.pcm” files building up in the “data/” directory. Secondly, when system apps, including bloatware, update from the Play Store, the update process leaves huge files behind.
By manually deleting and integrating these orphaned files, I eliminated my phone’s low internal memory issue. This is not a permanent fix. Every week or two I need to revisit the “data/” directory and delete the accumulated “write##.pcm” files. Additionally, when a system app updates, I need to open the Link2SD app and select the system app that just updated, and then click the “integrate updates into system” option. In the end, it does take a few minutes every week or so to keep the phone tuned up. Averaging out, I have a decent phone that was not expensive, so a few minutes every few weeks, to keep the phone working, is not a deal breaker.
So how did I actually resolve this problem, I rooted my phone and installed a few maintenance apps. One app allow me to manually delete write##.pcm files. A second app removes the left over files after a default system app updates.
Phone details:
• Phone model number: LG-H634
• Android version: 5.1.1
• Patch Level: 2015-11-01
Corrective steps:
1. Root the phone.
a. I successfully installed and use the “KingRoot” app on my phone.
b. Rooting is necessary to gain access to locked directories and files.
c. This app is not available on Google Play store. You will have to find it yourself on the Internet or locate an alternate phone rooting app… Google “how to root” and read and learn…
d. NOTE: KingRoot installs with a charging, lock screen, and weather notification widget. This app is enabled by default, so within KingRoot, select General Settings and disable this feature.
2. Install a file manager.
a. I successfully installed “Root File Manager” (by MobilDev). This app allows me to navigate to the “data/” and delete the write##.pcm files. This is available on Google Play store.
b. The .pcm files have something to do with audio. I steam iHeartRadio and my son watches a lot of YouTube… I read complaints from other users with low memory issues, who solely listen to music.
c. NOTE: Originally, to determine which files building up, I used an app called “DiskUsage” from Ivan Volosyuk. This app was very useful. This is available on Google Play store.
3. Install an app to integrate Google default apps updates into ROM.
a. I successfully installed and use the “Link2SD” app. To unlock some additional features, pay the few of dollars for the Pro version. For questions and answers on using this app, read the app’s help.
b. NOTES: When a default Google apps updates, I use the “Link2SD” app to integrate them into the system. Link2SD is useful for removing files leftover remaining after system apps update. This step alone can recover over one-hundred Megabytes for some apps alone! Below
c. Here is a form post I found. It expands somewhat on the issue:
i. "Integrate updates into system" (feature self. Android. Submitted 1 year ago by VJTigasMyPhone UNO (Android One) – Marshmallow)
• Google (or OEMs) should implement a developer feature like this. Many system apps, including bloatware (Google apps, Facebook, etc.), get updates from the Play Store (and other app stores by OEMs). Those updates will be installed on the /data partition, then the APK files in the /system partition don't have any use anymore. Hundreds of megabytes of app updates in /data folder could be used for other purposes if they are integrated into the ROM.
So in general, root your phone, then every week or two, use ‘Root File Manger’ to delete all write##.pcm files, and use ‘Link2SD’ to look for recently updated system apps and integrate them.
