I want to make some space on my SD card. I just installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 android 4.3.1 and I only have 2.25gigs available on the SD card. There does not seem to be a way to format from the settings menu. If I format it from CWM will it wipe the "Internal Storage" section too or will it just wipe the sd card partition and seem like a very fresh install of 4.3?
Thanks in advance.

Delete all files in the webos LOST.DIR (recycle bin).
Sideload Preware and install Tailor.
Resize the /media partition down to 400mb
Resize the /data partion as large as possible for android to use

Hey guys i recently rooted and installed Cyanogen mod and is currently up to date and running fine. However i didnt partition my SD and now my phone is just about out of space. If i partition my SD will it automatically port my apps to the card? Or will have to reinstall them all?
Yes, apps2sd is automatic in cyanogen roms.

just make sure to reflash the rom so it will run the a2sd script. no need to wipe just flash the rom after you partition your sdcard

Ah cool, didn't know you had to reflash.
I'm about to install 4.0.4 Update to Cyanogen..would that count as reflashing?
Yea it counts.
all I did was a data wipe after I partitioned my card and redownloaded the apps, everything works fine.
Hi!
I would like to fully format my phone ,as in both the internal as well as the external memory.But i would like to know if CWM would be erased by this procedure or does CWM resides on the phone memory.
Thanks all.

i thinjk that CWM its on the internal memory, you could make the full wipe from CWM , so certainly not erased. ithink

Hello to format then you have to use the Dual smartflash a tool that allows you to perform a full format with regard to the internal memory. The phone will be as soon as it left our facilities. But as for formatting the memory card, the easiest and fastest way is to insert the SD format from PC to your PC and format it

just go to CWM / Mounts&Storage and do all the formats that you see there, except for /system.
Those formats will not harm your CWM but will absolutely erase all user data, and internal SDcard, and external SD, it will not remove your rom but the rom will be factory fresh (asking for the google account on 1st boot).

Well... formatting /system will wipe your rom.
isn't that what i said?
edit : indeed, it isn't what i said... , so OP shouldn't format /system.
Hello
I have managed to root my phone and confirmed this with a free app on Google.Play but now what do I do?
I read somewhere that I need ClockworkMod and I followed a tutorial but the link was dead.

Dead link for clockworkmod 5
http://[url="http//forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=743333&d=1318051346
I am not exactly sure what Clockworkmod is and why I need it.
My plan is to be able to backup my Phone operating system (ROM I think it is called)
And I also want to put all my apps stored on the phone's memory onto an SD card. This is because I keep getting warnings that my internal memory is full.
I would appreciate any help or advice

May I ask how you can tell if the Backup process has been successful?
Is there a way to verify the backup?
I only ask as I have tried to make a backup and got the message that could not mount SD-ext
And that the backup my not be supported by my device. The information went very quickly so I could not get the info exactly.

1. Your backup = ALL your current rom data
2. Umm... I've never had a problem using CMW :S
3. Sd-ext IS NOT sdcard, so no problem if you haven't got sd-ext partition the script always finish telling you that you haven't got a sd-ext and skipping automatically this step , that's all. No problem at all
Hello
Before I did the clockworkmod, I partitioned my SD card into two FAT32 partitions. One was for my data and a smaller partition was to be in preparation of learning how to transfer all my apps to the SD card.
I was worried that partitioning the SD card had caused complications.

What did you use to do partitions?CWM?
I use minipartition tools (a windows free tool) and is to easy
Now you can use Link2sd e.g.
If I were you I'd create an ext4 (as sd-ext partition) instead of create 2 Fat32. Because ext4 can be used with int2ext scripts too
If you want you can read this q&a thread about link2sd/int2ext to get more useful info

Hello
I did indeed use minipartition tools to create two partitions. I have a 16Gb card. I saved 2Gb for the second partition. I will now format that partition to ext4.

format with ext4
mount system
flash this script and hurray work done

So this method works for sure? On the Ace is possible to make only a 512mb ext4 partition to use it with int2ext, right? Because every 500mb partition is needed 100mb of internal storage.

Yes, for sure!!
...no, you can do a partition with the size that you want. This script mount your /sd-ext as your /data partition so you can use all space you want in your sd-ext partition
I had 1GB partition and worked without problems with int2ext+ script
Greetings,
Unable to find the flashable update zip file from stock recovery 3e which exists on my sdcard.
I need to install CWM recovery and flash cocore kernel and root. I did this earlier countless times.
I am on stock XXLQL 4.1.2 Italy FW. Just FYI, a couple of days back I had flashed HarshJelly 4.
Below are the options in stock recovery <3e> -
1. reboot system now
2. apply update from ADB
3. apply update from external storage
4. wipe data/factory reset
5. wipe cache partition
6. apply update from cache
When I select 3rd option, I cannot see the update.zip or any other file which is in my sdcard (internal storage). I just see below –
Choose a package to install:
/sdcard
../
Added information is, when I go to root of the phone with Solid explorer, I can see below relevant directories –
sdcard <this is a symlink for /storage/sdcard0>
storage <inside this there is sdcard0 dir>
Inside storage there is sdcard0. And when I access the same directory by either ways (clicked symlink OR went is storage/sdcard0), I could see all my flashable files over there.
I already read something about this being related to 4.2 JB version. However, did not find any confirmed resolution or workaround on any forum.
I have already tried -
1) formatting of internal storage (sdcard0) and external storage (memory card) from phone settings -> storage -> Format USB storage AND Format SD card.
2) That didn’t work hence, I tried formatting my ext card (referred some XDA link) from PC with all - FAT32, NTFS and something like ext.... Still no luck.
3) Downloading zip files again to ensure they are not currupted.
Please note that I can copy data to both storages, hence I think my storage doesn’t look like corrupted.
It will be a great help if you can guide me to resolve this issue. :fingers-crossed:
Stock recovery let you search for update.zip in external sdcard (/storage/extSdCard/ on stock jb)

I have already kept the update.zip in both internal and external sdcards (/storage/extSdCard/ and /storage/sdcard0/). Missed to mention that.
However, could you please confirm on this as the symlink /sdcard in the root is for /storage/sdcard0 which is internal sdcard.

Can't it be roll backed to earlier condition rather than re-partitioning?

Wow.. worked.. Thanks a lot.. :good::victory:
I have the T599N phone with the newest clockwork recovery installed. I noticed my internal sd card is a complete mess and understand that it's not formatted when installing new ROMs. What's a safe way to format it? Does formating it through the clockwork recovery work? I don't want to brick anything. Thanks!
EDIT: It worked, in CW recovery I formatted the /data/media/ (sdcard) partition and it cleared out the internal memory perfectly.
