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

just swap it by editing vold.stab. there are so many tutor here. and I think you can find it through uncle Google

If you are using CM9, theres a option to swap internal to external.

Yes. Alpha 6. Setting, storage, menu, storage configuration, then select your choice.

Reformatting SD card, need some help.

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

Is there a safe way to Formatting internal memory.

I plugged in my phone today to transfer a rom over to my sd card and my internal memory was in red status. 732mb avail out of 11gb. I want to clear alot of it out. Is there a safe way to format all of internal memory?

I've always had luck going into settings/ storage format usb storage Erases all data on usb storage. Be sure to back up anything you may want to keep. Pictures music, contacts

Storage doubt

Pretty sure that is showing your internal SD storage.

Yep. Thats your internal. Put an SD in there and you get another set of graphs showing the SD storage capacity. And notice it says USB storage instead of SD storage.
