Hi Guys,
What will happen if I format my sd(internal memory)? Will it cause problems for the rom?
SD
You will loose all data/programs on the sd card.
ROMS are stored in the internal phone memory which you do not have access through unless through recovery or through apps like Root Explorer Format your SD all you want, your ROM will still work.

Hello again everyone,
Today while looking at settings-->"SD and Phone Storage", Astro File manager and talking with a friend thats using a capivate phone i was wonderning about the phones internal storage and its relation to the SD card.
Is the internal Phone storage the same as the SD card except obvously you cant upgrade or remove the phone storage?
If a ROM upgrade or different ROM install is preformed will i loose the files on the Internal Phone storage?
Thanks
NO, you will not loose your files on your internal storage by flashing a ROM. What might happen is the ROM doesn't yet support internal storage (most do now). Then you would not be able to access or use the internal storage even though the files are there. Like others have said make sure you read the channel logs and known issues log to see if the rom does support the internal storage. I hope this helps.
Great!
Thanks
Hi,
I want to partition my SD card so that I can install my apps to it.
My question : If i remove all my installed apps, music and photos from my SD card, what stuff do I loose when I partition my card? What stuff from the currently installed app would be lost?
Will some of the apps become unusable due to temp/cache files that gets deleted?
Regards,
Barend
Firstly, when you partition your SD card, you lose everything on the SD card. Everything on internal memory stays.
Secondly, some apps might not be usable as once after partitioning, i could not even boot up into the OS. Then i just flashed the Rom again.
Hope this helps;D
Hello All,
As we all know there a bit slight issue as far as the internal memory of Xperia Arc is concernend.. when I googled on how can we use our SD card to actually increase the internal memory so that we need not move the apps explicitly to the SD card, I came to knw that we need to create a partition on our SD card in ext4 format.. But I dint get the exact way of doing it... so can anybody tell me how we can do it? And does it need to have a custom ROM installed? Does it work on stock ROM also? Please help.. Thanks..
Try Link2SD or AD2SDX.
I tried Link2SD, but my problem was that after creating the new partition in FAT32, the phone won't mount the SD card, and keeps acting as if the SD card removed. When I deleted the second partition, everything went back to normal but without adding to the internal memory (which is the whole point)
I must have done something wrong but can't figure it out.
The second partition is the one that has to be in ext4 format and as logical so your phone will not try to mount it for storage purposes..

Hello,
I am having a bunch of issues with reception/call echo issues while using all JB roms. I wanted to know if formatting my internal sd card and reinstalling a jb rom would help with my issues? I've never reformatted the internal sd card before because i'm worried about bricking my phone/wiping out files needed in my OS. What i really want is to clean up my internal sd card and only have files that are needed to flash a new zip/rom. Can anyone give me specific instructions on how to format internal sd card while still being able to put a rom back on my internal sd card so that i can flash roms like before. Thanks
You really don't need to format your internal storage. Try just wiping/formatting data, wipe cache, formatting system, then flash your ROM again. Let me know if that solves the problem
My V500 has somehow lost it's internal SD card, so can't do simple tasks like take a photo as it has nowhere to store it. I have done a factory reset and even a fresh ROM install, but it still can't see it.
It can see the external SD card OK, and OTG USB.
TWRP doesn't appear to have any functions to format or partition this, only wipe it.
How can I get internal SD space back?
My vk815 is pure stock, and it has a similar bug that the SD card is 'unexpectedly ejected' when it really hasn't been, nor even jostled. I've given up just about all hope, and use it sparingly, only for created file storage. No apps.
I'm referring to the internal SD card, the non-removable one.
I cannot see the following with a file explorer...
system/sdcard
mnt/sdcard
Programs install fine from Play Store, which uses the same SD, just different partition.
Fixed it by going into TWRP - Wipe - Format Data
