Formatting SD while rooted

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

quick question: Can the xoom take a 64gb sd card?

Hi,
just a quick question, does the xoom support a 64 gb sd card?
thanks

I tried, Xoom to my knowledge supports only upto 32 GB external SD

Yes, you can use a 64gb sd card in it as long as it is a sdxc. The one thing i will note however is that the xoom won't format it directly (recovery might, but i never could get ics to format the bloody thing.) You will probably have to use another phone, or a pc(which has additional complications) to format it.

More internal memory

Is there any way to get more internal memory WITHOUT data wipe - factory reset?
Sent from my GT-I5500 using xda premium

I found Link2SD.
It really works!
I always have >60/186MB (w/ 100 apps)!
I used to run out of internal memory w/ 50-60 apps before Link2SD.
So a big thanks to the dev that made Link2SD!!

Phone Not Reading SD Card

Is any one else having this problem?

Can it read other SD cards? My wife has received three 64GB microSD cards in a row,all from different stores, that were bad and wouldn't mount in hers or my phone. But we can mount any other SD card fine. They do have a high failure rate. You can see it all over the forums here.

I've had this problem with a 64 class. 10 sandisk. Card. Recognizes fine in my wife's s3 but mine it doesn't. Her is stock and I'm rooted and rom'ed. Going to try and Odin stock with it installed and see if that fixes it. Then just reinstall cwm and rom

Most custom roms won't recognize a card formatted with exFat. You will need to format the card with fat32 to use it...

Formatted with dos cmd prompt app I found online and now my phone reads the card

We need to compile a list of ROMs that support exFAT. In this day and age of huge capacity sdcards and the ability to rip movies, the lack of exFAT support is becoming a major liability.

Selecting storage devices

Hey guys, I was wondering if there was an option or method to having everything that is installed on my phone be installed to the external sd card? My internal fills up too quick. Thanks in advance!
