Hi,
How can we replace an SD card hosting cache partition from froyo? Will it require wiping and re-flashing the phone?
Thanks

Hi I wanted to know if its possible to move apps from sd-ext to the internal storage of my hd2.
Also does anyone know what format cwm formats the SD partition in? Is it ext2? Thanks
hello,
i want to wipe my android and start from scratch , also i want to delete any contents on my sd card...
but what contents on the sd card must remain? i remeber when i bought my desire, there were already folders on the sd card, are they important??
how do i do this?
first wipe/reinstall rom , then format, then wipe again?
Why wipe and then reinstall the same rom? Wipe=factory reset which deletes all user info, apps, etc etc. As in it will look like it did when you wiped and installed rom for the first time. Just reformat the sd card and you are done. You aren't gonna see a completely empty sd card after reformatting. There will be system folders that android will place there.

After you have wiped and flashed your new rom, you can format your SD card from within android. That way, it will be able to place the default folders in there for you at the same time.
perfect, thnx for the info...
Hi
Need help. I have partitioned sd card with cwm. Plugged it in computer to put rom on. It brings up the prompt to format card . I did that. But rom didnt boot up after installing. So i wiped form cwm. When i did wipe data/ factory reset it was wiping. And whilst wiping it says no apps2sd ext found. Skipping wipe of sd ext or something . Whys that?
bump????

Im trying to format my internal storage. It seems there is always data retained after deleting everything from the internal storage in windows. So before i do another clean install of a rom i want to start fresh. The problem is when i go into Philz and format /sdcard it isnt doing anything, the retained hidden data is still there. Is there a easy way to format it and start fresh? Cheers
I have a similar question, does formatting internal sd also wipe everything (except system) from root (/)?
I want to know the whole criteria of Lenovo-A3000 storage, I mean it has an Internal Storage, also an SD card, So:
1- is SD card included inside the Internal Storage?
2- is SD card separated by accessed through the Internal Storage?
3- is SD card totally separated?
and Now, if I choose to wipe data/ factory reset from some recovery tool like CWM, is that will wipe all data including SD card data?
and at last, why the device reads the SD card as it's at /data/media directory while this is not obvious when accessing the Internal storage through some file manager or through the PC usb ?

Internal SD card is just an emulated storage. This means, that the INTERNAL STORAGE (not accessible without root privilegies) is /data and INTERNAL SD CARD is /data/media. When you wipe data/cache using recovery, it wipes /data and /cache EXCEPT /data/media. When you wipe INTERNAL SD CARD, it wipes ONLY /data/media
Great Info

Great topic from TWRP
I found also this great topic from TWRP team which declares clearly the Data/Media behavior
