quick stupid question.. - Motorola Photon 4G

so I've never had a phone with an
"internal sdcard" so I'm guessing if I do a wipe it'll wipe the internal sdcard? they have it partitioned or something weird so I wasn't sure..

No, but you can wipe internal "card" via settings menu.

Phone answer problen

Hello my phone was great until I flashed miui. When i flashed this whenever I would pick up a call the person on the other line couldn't hear me until about 2 seconds after I answered. I thought this was a miui problem, but now it's been in all my roms since. I've been to about 3 different roms after miui and this "bug" is sstill there. Any help?

Format my internal sd? Sounds dangerous

Is there anyway to wipe my phone so that all the old files and stuff from previous builds that I no longer use can be deleted

Factory Reset then Format USB Storage.
There is no need to start new threads for this. Search.

Yup, factory reset in the USB storage settings will do this.

[Q] do I really need a sdcard..

I recently lost my sdcard and I was wondering If I really need one for any reason outside of more storage space? I plan on running the official ics but I lm just not sure if certain roms etc need to be on external memory.

Nope.
No need for external storage.

[Q] Internal storage nowhere to be seen?

As soon as I flashed cm10.1 on my p769 and plugged the phone into my computer, I realized the internal storage is nowhere to be seen. Only the 16 gb SD card shows up. Also in my phone in Root Explorer, I try to find the internal storage but I still can't see it, as the directory /storage only give me a folder titled /sdcard0, which is actually my SD card In the storage settings my phone shows that it is using the internal storage for apps and whatnot. Thanks

I had to laugh hard first but I guess he meant the CM thread. AntonX "fixed" a bug and now only the external sdcard is usable what do you need it for?

the 6+gb are the system files..
If you have a nandroid backup or have backed up your apps using titanium, that would account for the space.

The advertised 16gb for the phone isnt quite correcy either. One of the reasons they gave us app 2 sd with me7.

the backups have always been to the sd card and iv checked like 5times to make sure i even wiped and cleaned everything and re installed to see if that fixed it..noting
+1. Completely clean you'll only have about 9 Gb. The rest is used by android.

Sd card or ext sd?
/sdcard is an internal partition.

Mnt/shell/emulated is where I found mine

Using the app "Clean Master" I've noticed that I've lost almost 2GB of internal memory to the gallery thumbnail folder. If I remember correctly there's a way to rename the folder so it won't store the thumbnails. Gonna research it and see what I can come up with to regain that space.

well i only deleted the ones that had to do with the backup in the clockwordmod folder worked out perfectly but i cant speak for the rest id say copy those files you plan to delete onto the external sd card and then delete and reboot if you see any issues just copy paste them back and do another reboot. better safe then sorry
The only problem i have with deleting the backup i have in the mnt/shell/emulator/clockwordmod/backup folder is that it will also delete any nandroid i have.. but i did acquire 3+ gigs after doing so giving me 7.51 gigs of free space. The downside is w/o a nandroid, if something happens to my phone i'm screwed... Hahaha... Well the extra space looked cool while it lasted... Thanks

Use twrp, it's a lot easier to delete unwanted nandroids. No blob folders.
