Formatting SD while rooted - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it a bad idea to format your SD card while you're rooted? Will it delete the main rom on the SD card? I have 7gigs left of free space but I want to have around 13gigs free.
Any ideas? Please and thank ya
Danke shein

I don't see why it would be bad.

Delete things you don't want? Just a question but why do you need 13gb free? I'm lucky to have like 1 gig

Some of the apps will not let you, the developer of the app has to allow it to be moved to SD card. Just curious how many apps do you have installed?

There's an app on the market called APP2SD, from Infolife (there's another one that does the same thing). It will semi-automate the process of porting over any app that can be moved to your SD card.
Keep in mind for some apps, not all of the data is moved to the SD card, only a portion is. Hopefully this should clear up some space.

The 16 GB Samsung SD card that comes with the phone is showing that I only have 14.7 GB of memory including both of my partitions, do i need to have it replaced or can this be fixed?
Thanks Ahead of time

I am on Beans 10
Try deleting the .odex file for the app in /data/app
Google the error. There's a simple fix for it. I simply can't remember what it is.

Internal storage

I always wanted to increase my internal storage. I googled it but no result found. Really, there is no way to increase it? Sry for my bad English.

Hi,
Internal storage is fixed.
You can get a bigger sd card.
Internal storage is fixed however you can add a bigger SD card. That will allow you to move apps from internal to the SD if you choose, opening up space.

Buy a 64 GB SD card... The Sensation fits more stuff than any other phone I own. I have every possible high end game on my Sensation from the Play Store and still didn't fill it. I wish they built the storage on every phone this way TBH.
