[Q] NTFS module? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apologies if this has been asked already, but I searched and found nothing. Has anyone compiled loadable module(s) for NTFS support on stock roms? I ask as I have external NTFS discs it would be useful to access via USB OTG, before anyone suggests just using exFAT.

After some further reading, I've seen the modules were added to Adam Kernel but later removed. Is there a problem with getting the ntfs/fuse modules working on the S4?

stickmount + exfat fs

USB Host Diagnostics reports that it can detect my USB device.
My rooted Nexus 7 has Stickmount and I would like to read and write to the exfat filesystem.
Does the stock kernel support exfat, I am wondering if this is the problem that I can't see any files on the USB Key.
If so, has anyone compiled the exfat.ko or have some workaround ?
I am fairly sure that the USB-OTG cable is fine, it's been recommended several times

Using my rooted stock kernel with StickMount, I was unable to see any files on my USB drive formatted as exFAT.
I tested the same drive formatted as NTFS and FAT32 and they worked just fine. Searching around other forums, it looks like the stock kernel doesn't support exFAT.
It's possible that a custom kernel could support it, but I haven't found any specific kernels with exFAT support.

[Q] Just Rooted my 4.2 N7...some questions

Hi guys, i know that you problably answered these questions several times already, but i couldn´t find a exact match for what i want to do.
I have an OTG cable and a 4 port USB hub that i´m using for tests. I´m using stock 4.2 and stock kernel.
1- I´d like to add a flash drive or a external usb hard disk as a default storage device, is there any way to do this without external apps? like the N7 had microSD support? I saw a topic where some user was able to do this, but i can´t find it. Can i install games and everything if i do this? None of my FAT32 cflash drives were recognized. NTFS drives paragon NTFS mounted but it was not recognized by system in storage options.
2- Overclock using SET CPU will work as usual even using stock kernel? Which settings do you recommend me to use?
3- As you can see, i´m a noob considering the rooting possibilities, which more do you recommend me to do to fully use the potential of my Nexus 7, i use it mainly for playing games and emulators, surfing internet and watching movies. The only thing i did was modifying the script to run XBOX360 wireless controller perfectly. Any recommendations to rooting i will be very grateful, thanks!

[Q] Native USB OTG Storage Support

Hi,
there are many ROMs out there for our beloved Nexus 10, but it seems that only few support external storage via USB OTG. I couldn't figure out how to enable it manually. Is there any kind of mod or kernel that does the trick? I tried some apps on the play store, but I don't like the idea of an app sitting between the android system and storage hardware.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

I think all custom kernels have USB OTG support in them, and maybe I am ignorant since I dont care about OTG support but I thought all "major" ROMs worked with them. Hmm.
Maybe you're right, but in that case USB OTG seems not to necessarily include USB OTG storage. I noticed, that while ParanoidAndroid did not recognize my USB storage device, it was still able to detect things like mouse and keyboard correctly.
Example:
[ROM+KERNEL] [AOSP] AOSP+ 4.2.1 - JOP40D - Cust.Settngs+OTG+OC+More - 20 Dec 2012
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998585
USB OTG Information:
1. Auto-mount to /storage/usbdisk
2. Files accessible by all applications, processes and users
3. Currently works with FAT & NTFS partitions
4. Full read-write access for FAT USB disks, read-only access for NTFS USB disks
5. This does not conform to the Android 4.2 multi-user capabilities. All users have full access to the OTG storage
6. If you are using another custom kernel, make sure it does not overwrite the ramdisk changes or you make lose OTG support
I am sure there are other ROMS. Do a "OTG Support" search in the "Nexus 10 Android Development" forum and find what suits you.
Cm 10.1 and AOKP both support native OTG for USB drives. :thumbup:

ROM? try root + StickMount + *browser for root
ops! i didn't read the last part of you post :/
thanks for your replies,
it seems like the only up-to-date ROMs that aim on native USB OTG storage are indeed cm10.1 and aokp.
however, apascual89's paranoidandroid might soon support it too.
i think that is worth having an eye on it.

[Q] detect ntfs external hdd with usb otg (official rom)

Hi all,
can you guys tell me how to detect ntfs hdd with usb otg on official kitkat rom?bcoz i stored all my data on ntfs hdd which i cant reformat to exfat
before i upgraded to kitkat, i flash the adam kernel then install a software called paragon. then it works
as you know adam kernel did not support kitkat. so, is there any other way?without adam kernel, the paragon software did not detect ntfs
ah yes, i really would like to stick with the official rom for the mean time...so there's no chance i'd flash a third party rom
thanks in advance for the help.....:laugh:

[Q] USB Thumb Drive NTFS and Read Only?

Google Nexus 10
Android version 5.0.1
Build Number LRX22C
CWM 6.0.4.7
Rooted
I have just installed the Android 5.0.1 update AND purchased a 64Gb Sandisk USB/MicroUSB memory stick.
My Nexus 10 can mount the USB stick without any problem and I can see and use all the files on it but because I had to format the USB stick as NTFS all these files are now read only so I cannot delete any files from it nor can I move files from my Nexus 10 to the USB stick.
Does anyone know if there is a way to coax my Nexus 10 to be able to read AND write to my NTFS USB stick/drive?
Thanks
Hi,
AFAIK the kernel has to support NTFS writing. There are some on development section, you may want to search for it.
Good luck,

I use the playstore app USB OTG Helper but you will also need to install SELinux Mode Switcher and set that to permissive mode. Despite the USB OTG Helper app displaying an error (-9) when an OTG SD reader is attached it provides the full RW access your looking for. It also provides multiple formats support beyond NTFS. I personally use Linux ext4 on all my SD cards which is also supported. It has an experimental exrFAT support but I've never used it.
There is also Stickmount but I prefer the way USB OTG Helper added the external storage to the device. It seemed to integrate with my music player better, that may be personally choice though.

Thanks for that. I will give both a try and see which is best for me.
Thanks again
Well I have tried both and whilst both seem to mount my USB drive and both seem to acknowledge it is mounted, when I try to delete a file which is on the USB drive using ES File Explorer I get the error message of "unsupported operation"!?
If either of the pro versions have something that the free version does not, that will get USB read/write working I will happily buy pro version but no point if not working
