I wrote this short tutorial because extending my internal storage using my new micro SD card on my Retroid Pocket 2+ failed all the time. Only setting it up as portable/external worked. However, this instructions should work in any Android 5.0+ device.

So, in case you have problems setting up your SD card on your Android device via graphical interface (setting up storage as extended internal memory or portable), and you get a corrupted SD card or any other error, follow these steps to fix it via adb shell:

Make sure you have adb access to your Android device: Settings > System > About, touch/click on Build number until Developer options are enabled:
Go to Settings > System > Developer options and enable USB debugging.
Assuming you have adb installed on your remote terminal run the following:

adb shell

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

	const safeJsonParse = <T>(str: string) => {
	try {
	const jsonValue: T = JSON.parse(str);

	return jsonValue;
	} catch {
	return undefined;
	}
	};

	# DOCKERFILE
	FROM ubuntu:latest
	ADD https://github.com/openfaas/faas/releases/download/0.6.9/fwatchdog /usr/bin
	RUN chmod +x /usr/bin/fwatchdog
	ENV FFMPEG_VERSION=3.0.2
	WORKDIR /tmp/ffmpeg
	RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade && apt-get -y install software-properties-common
	RUN add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media -y
	RUN apt-get -y install ffmpeg


	var contrast = function (foreground, background) {

	var hexToRgb = function (hex) {

	// Expand shorthand form (e.g. '03F') to full form (e.g. '0033FF')
	var shorthandRegex = /^#?([a-f\d])([a-f\d])([a-f\d])$/i;

	hex = hex.replace(shorthandRegex, function(m, r, g, b) {
	return r + r + g + g + b + b;
