I tried Paragon NTFS mounter and that seems to work. I tried NTFS mounter before and that didn't work. My question is that is there a way to more natively enable ntfs support on my device without installing the additional app? like any sort of copying over some library files trick like stickmount in a nexus device?

So, we have NTFS support covered, but what about exFAT? Unfortunately my video camera runs on a 16GB exFAT SDHC, and won't recognize NTFS filesystem. Will it be possible?
hi i have the 16gb sdcard which is fat32 and i want to change it to NTFS because i need to put files on it larger then 4gb and when i tried NTFS android said it needs to reformat is there anything i can do?
Not sure if Android supports NTFS. But the driver (ntfs-3g) might be able to be included in the kernel.
NTFS will reduce the lifespan of your SD card too.
edit: If you have an EXT partition, stick the files on there then access them with a file manager?
As title says, having trouble copying files from the nexus 7 into an external HDD or a USB stick, only able to read from it. Any way to work around this?
Working on stock ROM, rooted and unlocked. Using stickmount.
Try with custom kernel

Will try. Thanks!
No custom kernel is needed for storage formatted with fat32. I'm stock, rooted, 4.2.1, with the latest stickmount. I bought the pro to support the dev. I can read/write to external storage using the OTG cable. I can play music and videos from the thumbdrive or sdcard reader. I think the stickmount dev is working on ntfs support, which has previously required kernel support. But if your storage is fat32, there should be no problem accessing it.
I have 64GB sdcard and my phone is rooted. I lost all my data on card because of exfat file system. I have found out it is very unreliable. Reliability is worse than FAT32 system.
I would like to have NTFS or ext4 file system on it instead of exfat. I tried several apps: ezymount, NTFS mounter, Paragon NTFS & HFS+. No app was able to mount the card. Is there some way to use NTFS sdcard in galaxy s4?
Never had any problem with exFat filesystem with any samsung device I've owned. You'd better check the reliability of the card you're using!

No easy way. The kernel and modules set it up for exFAT. There is no way to change it without a significant change to the kernel and some support in the OS, initramfs etc.
Do s5 support OTG
What is OTG?
USB OTG

It does. But have problems with ntfs formated USB storages. For ntfs I'm using Nexus Media Importer. So s5 is able to mount those ntfs formated hard disks. Working great.

I have not tried with S5, however I was able to mount NTFS pendrives from ES Explorer on S4, not natively
