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.

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

K thanks and what about my photos?

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

Even if i do a full wipe and delte chache ?

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.
Flashed a rom and saw folders from my previous installation there. H ow do I wipe internal sd, NOT extsd.also what is the best rom for rogers with working LTE
Boot in recovery, go into mount&storage or something like it and format sdcard.
The better ROM for rogers lte is task & ktoonsez if you want JB. If you prefer ICS try kyan or one of teem ressurection roms

Be careful. Some recovery support external. And formatting sdcard will wipe external. Look for format emmc

Both CWM & TWRP support ext-sdcard but you have the option to format sdcard or ext-sdcard. I do it all the time and never formated my ext-sdcard

Just take the external out. Can't reformat it if it ain't there

That's true. Just depends on the version recovery he has. With my recovery(5.8.4.5) i have to format emmc. If i choose to format my sdcard then it wipes my external. I just wanted to prevent a possible mistake.

Go into recovery do a factory reset and wipe the internal sd card too.

I would think so, yes
Format system deletes system files

So formatting sd card in cwm will retain the rom and the superuser?

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
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
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?
