AW: HELP- How to do Format System
After you format /system you should install your Rom. You can't reboot cause you haven't installed a system on your phone.

Yes. Do not reboot after formatting system because your ROM is gone.
I always format system when changing ROMs, it is good practise to do so.

The benefit to formatting system before you install a new ROM isn't gaining space. Its clearing out system files that may interfere with the new ROM and make it not run as fast as it should, or make it unstable.

Does it work with stock rom?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
I'M NOT SURE IF IT WILL WORK WITH STOCK
If Android freezes at boot screen:
1. Do a fresh install of stock rom via odin
2. install latest recovery.
most important procedure
3. switch off then press only home button and power button
1. wipe data/factory reset.[imp]
2. wipe cache partition.[imp]
3. Go to mounts and storage and format these :
a. system
b. data
c. cache
d. sdext
4 go to advanced and then in there format :
a. Dalvik cache
b. Battery stats [not imp.]
4. Install apocalypse latest final version.
5. install layout properly as suggest in developer post. after installing layout reboot 2 times.
6. mount system and install AMARULLZ DATA TO SD-EXTat this point after i apply the script the screen gets frozen in the android boot screen and i cant even see the bootanimation
7. give 2 reboots after installing AMARULLZ DATA TO SD-EXT.
8. check ur internal memory it will be according to ur partition size.
9. [if error] if u find internal memory still same then u must have not mounted system go to recovery again and mount system and then flash script again.
Link to all the files?

It wont work with stock, stock dont have init.d and stock recovery isnt mounting system. Just try Link2sd. Its great app.

Hi,
I'm using a HTC one, which is rooted, s-on, unlocked. I'm also using maximus hd 13 rom.
I want to completely reset the content on the internal sd card. I already tried to format the card via cwm wipe and during aroma installer using full wipe. But afterwards my sd card is still not clean, all the stuff from before is still there.
How can I get rid of those sd card content?
thanks in advance,
Chris
Well I can tell you from experience that it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. I actually use TWRP and what I do is install the Rom I want...then format the sd card in recovery and reboot. It's that simple..at least for me. Now for cwm I think there's the option for to format sd..not just wipe..but I can't remember the setup off hand...I'm thinking the process would be exactly the same

Hi,
I've installed maximus 13 an hour ago, doing all wipes I found
I also use the factory reset in the android settings.
At the moment I'm looking for format options in cwm and I found the following in "mounts and storage menu":
- format /cache
- format /data
- format /sdcard
- format /system
- format /external_sd
- format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
should I try these options? If yes, all of them? In which order?
I can't imagine that it could be so difficult to get your sd card clean

okay, I've done so and it looks good. Do I have to reflash the maximus rom now or is it possible just to reboot the phone and everything will work fine?

Just reboot. U should now have a clean storage.
The others (system and data) would wipe your Rom and user apps.

Have you cleared cache and the dalvic cache.

Cache yeah dalvik no... Also i have no recovery to clear dalvik I'm only rooted

Try to install and run CLEAN MASTER. This app will help you clean all caches (except dalvik) and will clear some space for you
It wont remove any saved settings in any app. It just cleared its data (cache, thumbails etc)

Dalvik-cache
When your phone starts up, the Dalvik Virtual Machine looks at all your apps and frameworks, and creates a tree of dependencies which is stored in the dalvik-cache. This allows applications to run in an optimised state (and explains why your phone takes longer to boot up after applying a new rom, it’s rebuilding the cache.)
Thank Google.

I know this is a noon question but I hope someone can help. In twrp how will I go about unmounting /system partition? I'm trying to flash a ROM and halfway through flashing gapps it rebooted automatically and got stuck on the Google screen. I rebooted back to twrp and tried the process again and it said unable to Mount /system. I heard you have to unmount system before flashing. Is that correct? Thanks for your help in advance

do you need to format the system first?
In TWRP goto mount, and uncheck the system box before flashing.
