I finaly got myself a memory card reader. Is there a full guide on how to partition my Sd card? Can i do it with stock rom?

just root your phone, install the cwm, and then use it to partition your sd by entering the recovery, and after that you can install a2sd or other for activating your ext. you can search the complete tutorial in the forum. hope will help

If you are using linux, I can walk you through doing it on Gparted, or I can walk you through doing it in ClockworkMod.
U can use gparted or mini partition tools on windows.
Or through CWM ( need root )

Back up your apps with titanium back up and sync your contacts with google

Flashing a new ROM won't wipe your sd card so photos music etc are all safe.

As long as they are on your memory card you are safe as long as you don't choose to wipe your sd card. If on internal memory and you do a full wipe you will lose them.

full wipe does not delete your internal storage.
you would need to format EMMC to do that.
but anyways, wiping data, caches, and formatting the system does not touch any of your storage so it should be safe.
Oh and mybackup root is actually really helpful for backing up and restoring apps, it's quicker in my opinion.
How much internal memory should I have left a after flashing a room.
I'm on liquidsmooth 2.3 official and I have like 1 gb of internal mem left. I was flashing 4.1.1 roms earlier to see if I wanted to change roms and I noticed that I also had only about 1-2 gb of internal mem left.
Should I be having more? I need 2gb for a game that I just bought and I can't do that if I only have 1 gb left over

Depends how many files you have on your internal memory. You probably have too many, I have 8.92gb available

Factory reset will only delete apps in internal memory and some settings, no other things.. If you use format data it will delete everything in your internal memory but I would be very careful with that because you would obviously lose any files, backups, pictures, or any other things you have in there.. Just browse your internal memory with a file explore and clean anything you don't want or need anymore, or simply back everything up and completely wipe it

Formating doesn't wipe my sd card does it? Think I read that in twrp it wipes sd card. Or is this false?

I downloaded a rom and its in es file folder when boot into recovery I cant find the rom nowhere.I had no problems with finding roms using 4 ext touch anyone know where the rom is at in clockmod recovery this is driving me crazy lol
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Try putting it on the root of your SD card and make sure you are looking in extSdCard.
I cant find a wipe for dalvic like on 4 ext touch.so basically when installing a new rom just wipe everything except sd card then flash rom then wipe partition and then reboot.

Your not extracting the zips are u? Do not extract the zip file. Then put the zip file on your sd card and boot into recovery. Then apply zip from ext card. But first go into advance options on cwm and wipe dalvic cache, wipe etc. Etc

In recovery select 'install zip from SD card'. At the next screen select 'choose zip from external SD card' if that's where you put it. If you select 'choose zip from SD card' it will look in the internal storage.
Hey it on my device storage how do I get to it through recovery or hoe do I move the rom from device storage to my sd card.

If is on your phone, select install zip from SD card then select choose zip from SD card and then go to wherever you saved it. If you want to move it to your external SD card, plug phone to your computer and move it to /extsdcard. Then in recovery select install zip from SD card and then select install zip from external SD card. What is the link to what you downloaded that you can't find?
Hey I just found the rom and I downloadrd it then I wipe dalvic and cache partition and then I rebooted my phone and my stock factory rom is still on my phone what did I do wrong.

Hi!
I have tried googling answers, but I can't seem to find a clear one. My question is, how can I format the internal SD card? I remember from my past android phones (skyrocket, infuse, HTC vivid) I was able to format the internal through settings. I can't seem to do that now...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I do that? All I see is wipe system, cache, data but can't see format internal.

In cwm, go to mounts and storage, there should be an option that says format external sd.
While the phone is on, go into system settings and the syorage, scroll down it ahould let u format the sd card from there aswell.
