Yes if you have an external than put a nandroid on that and format the data on your internal in twrp.

I noticed on the latest version of twrp there's no option to format internal storage. Should I flash and olver version of twrp?

I'm on 2.5.0.1 I installed it through rom toolbox. I installed the 2.4.x.x version that one has the option to format the internal sd. If I want to install a new rom can I format the internal sd then flash the new rom?

Yup just make sure you make a backup in twrp of what you're on now (called a nandroid) just in case the flash messes up somehow. And of course, before you format the internal sd, make sure your nandroid and the rom you want to flash are on your external sd.

Why do you need to do that? This fone already has such a "HUGE" internal memory........There are only a few apps that should be stored in internal memory and you can do that manually.

Back up ur apps and data. Format your sd card and make a partition from cwm....you need an ext2,3,4 to work with link 2sd. Your one partition would be fat32 and another an ext partition.

If you are rooted. It will work with anything (stock or custom). I would recommend Ext2 or 3. Make a partition with cwm.

eh, u did read the info i gave about sd-ext?
ext2 doesn't include journalling so boot up time is slow...for more see the link in my signature!
NOTE: With any kind of partition ext2/3/4, the loading time will increase as apps are being loaded from sd card which is slower than internal memory!
But i cant make ext3 mount script iy shows invalid arguement anyone have a solution for this

You need to have ext3 partition which can you get by cwm. But backup sd card before partitoning.

Hey all, just wanted to ask about cwm recovery. I have made backups always before flashing new rom. Atm I have only 1 backup, thing that is buggering me is that backup is size of allmost 3gb..backup file being 1.3gb and "blobs" being 1.4gb.. Is backups supposed to be that big?

No, it will not delete your backup. It only wipe /data partition. It will not affect your storage.

Well, you are posting this in the development section when it should be in the Q&A section.
However, I recommend using 4ext. It's just better.
Try 4 ext and have a moderator move this thread to the appropriate section please.
Good luck, Chevy

No, that's not what I meant. 4ext is a recovery.
Basically, just download the 4ext app, or use hasoon2000's toolkit to flash 4ext.
http://4ext.net/
Let it install 4ext on your amaze if you have a ROM and rooted on it.
Once you can boot into 4ext recovery, go to options (or tools, don't quite remember), and turn on SMARTFLASH.
Then you can format your internal SD (BACKUP YOUR DATA ON YOUR PC FIRST!!!).
ROMS should flash now since Smartflash is a workaround for S-ON users who want to flash custom Roms.
If this helps press thanks.

If it is in philz recovery I believe in the settings. Either advanced or the philz settings you will see an option to change the location. Tell me if you find it. CMW... well no one really uses it as much but the change in file structure shouldn't change.
