Hi,
Are you trying to wipe your data in order to install a new ROM?
Or are you trying to format your sd card?
They are 2 different things.
Hi
Just the sd card from changing roms I get a lot of leftover files and folders from downloads and apps etc

Hi,
You want to go into recovery.
Mount and storage.
Format external sd.
Make sure you back up your stuff first.
Why would I format ext sd? That woukd be my micro sd memorycard

That's what you asked for in your post "just the sd card"
In s4 there is 2 storage areas internal storage and external storage which is the sd card...

@cameracartwright
If you want to format your internal SD card using PhilZ CWM do the following:
Mounts and storage/ format SD card.
However there is no need if you install an app from Play Store called SDMaid, it's awesome!!
Go to 'corpse finder' and it cleans out your phone of left over crap from previous apps and roms

Hi mate apparently there is a new update from Samsung coming in the weeks ahead and enables apps to ext sd card
http://www.androidcentral.com/moving-apps-sd-card-samsung-galaxy-s4
Saves messing with your phone, if you can wait for firmware update.
I already have flashed that firmware.. but i am looking for a tweak to swap internal sd for ext sd ??

Look for an app called folder mount
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I need a method for installing apps to my sd card on my 16gb galaxy s4. I have tried using the folder mount app but this method only stopped my apps from working. I heard that there had been a ota update released that integrates this into the stock software, but I haven't heard any news about it coming to the att galaxy s4.

So far app2sd has just come out for the I9500/9505. you should be able to run one of the I9505 Roms with no problems.

Folder mount works best way better than apps 2 sd in a rom I have 7 gbs of games moved to my sd card and still have 7gbs free on internal storage with over 100 apps installed

He said he tried it already and didn't like it

I tried it as well and only ended up with the same game data on both my internal and external memory. I didnt like it either. So I'll wait for the update to come to at&t.

Well I have no issue with using folder mount maybe your doing it wrong plus you do know that apps 2 sd thats on an internation rom will move over the app buth not the data

If your firmware is newer then xxuamea then you have the option to move an app to sd in the app info window.

Yea I hav the option. .
It shows dat I hav moved all the app data in sd...
But whn I check the phone memory status its still the samen...

Guys, you're confusing him. As Disturbed said you can't move the data on the sd card, only the app itself. So app = 30 mb, data = 1gb, only app (30mb) will be moved to the sd. Basically this function is useless and won't help with the low space, but makes it look like Samsung cares about its customers.
Only way to move the data is by rooting and using an app like foldermount (can't say it's 100% the only way, i'm still a bit noobish on android, but that's what I found everywhere)

If you create a 2nd partition with swap in cwm your sd card will be formatted - always backup data first before partitioning
copy all your sd card folders & files to your pc then copy them back after partitioning
I want to do partation for increasing ram

So yes, it will get wiped. Also, it would b good to make a ext partition too if ur probably using swap to run more apps. Meaning more storage.
