Is there a ROM available on our devices that will mount ext_sd as primary mount. I noticed that all the roms files are saved to internal sdcard which I dont want because I cant partition internal but can on my external.

I'm thinkin stock roms use internal sdcard as main storage and cm based roms use external sd cards as primary storage,dunno think thats just the way its setup to be.

If you switch to a touchwiz rom you can go to settings>storage, then unmount your sd and format from the phone

Twiz and miui both unmount internal sdcard and format it but not external,sht is rediculous.I cant even mount external sd in cwm to reformat it.
Find a friend with an android...older one preferably ...use theirs to format....that's what I did

you can do it with touchwiz. Settings>storage. First listing will be external (sd card) which will have the option to unmount and format. Second listed will be usb storage which is your internal memory and will also have it's own option to format. Just press unmount SD card under external then it will highlight the option to format

Hey guys, I'm looking to clean out my SD card, I know to format it with FAT32 and 64k but I've been seeing a lot about partitioning it properly, I'm using 4EXT recovery. (FYI - I do have a PC to transfer music, pictures etc)

Add sdext partitions, make them both 512mb, that will give you a gig of space to have system files in to free up internal storage

Always format any SD card in the device in which it will be used. This will always work and ensures that the SD card has the correct format for the device.

Works best for me when I have troubles with my SD card.
I always format from the pc in fat 32, the only problem is that you won't be able to write files bigger than 4GB into the sd
Hello,
My unrooted Galaxy Note 8 has an external SD card, but it doesn't use it to download and store files as it should onto the SD card. Instead, it uses an emulated SD card from a partition in its internal memory. I want it to use the actual external SD card and not the emulated partition. How do I change that?
I know you can change that directly from the kernel when you're building it in order to enforce that on boot.

Thanks. But can I do that with an unrooted version?
I've read in a couple places people talking about putting your ROM image onto external or internal sdcard. What is the internal sdcard? Is this just the phone's standard internal file system or is it something separate? Where is it if I look in a file manager?
Related question: if I use internal storage to upload a ROM image I want to flash, where's the best place to put it? Right in / (root)? Or somewhere better?
Basically it's your internal storage:

Internal storage is a 9GB partition on your phone's 16GB internal memory. It acts as if it was any other SD card.
It works fine in conjunction with an external SD card. You will see SD0 and SD1 in any file explorer app. SD0 is the internal. SD1 is the external.
It doesn't matter if you put the ROM you want to flash on the internal or external. Recovery can see it in either place. And the directly doesn't matter. Jus tput it in a directyory you can remember when you're looking for it in recovery. I think most peopl ejus tuse the defaul DOWNLOADS directory.
I usually put the ROMs I'm going to flash in internal storage, but I erase them a lot.

Yes, in root.

Thanks for the replies!
When using the different wipe options in recovery, does the 9GB internal partition (sd0) get wiped by any of the typical wipe choices?
Wiping data does.
