Hi,
I tried to connect USB flash memory formatted in NTFS over OTG cable to my S5 but it seems that this file system is not supported? That suprised me because daughter's tablet with ICS can read same flash memory... What can be problem ?

Thank you for help. Tried older version of this app and now I can see files from USB but when I want to play mkv file I receieved warning from MX Player that file is not supported... Same file from MicroSD is playing in MX Player fine. Strange!
Also, I still don't know why ICS have no problem and KK does (if this problem is related with OS)...

Hmm, ROM I am using already have Read/Write to External SD Card enabled so this issue is not related with this...

Yeah USB Sticks are compatible with the OTG.
Ensure you have the app StickMount
Hope this helps.

I have used a 64GB stick, but I had to format it NTFS. eXFAT didn't seem to work.

I'm able to use ES File Explorer to explore the stick and use the files on the stick with various applications. For example, HD MKV video files play perfectly with MX Player.
Only problem with NTFS and Android is that it is read only, can't move files from N7 to the stick. Would be nice for nandroid backups and whatnot. Unless there is a new way I just don't know about..
I'm using a Generic Play.com 64Gb usb stick and it works fine with my OTG cable...
hi i tried to connect an ext to ym s4 otg cable its broken and i ahve to put it in special position to work im getting new one toamrrow
but when i connect my hdd pwoers turn on hear the sound (got WD My passport 1tb AND mybook 1tb! it says blank or,,, storage is it coz ntfs format? should i format it? to fat32 or anythign if do do does it slow or anythign my harddrive:?
I woud like to know answer to thise too.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yup, if the phone says blank drive or unsupported format, it's probably in NTFS. You can format it to either FAT32 or exFAT.
Fat32 doesn't slow down your disk, but you have a 4gb file limit which is annoying if you have HD Movies or other large files.
what u mean by 4gb limit? each file?!
btw i dont wonna use that a got a 32gb sony flash and i can use it IF i got out of storage or some times for diffrent uses just wonna know

btw i hope they add ntfs support in the other versions
Or you could use one of the multitude of apps on Play that allow you to mount NTFS-formatted drives. Chainfire's StickMount works pretty well for me on the S4 (requires root).

Hi all, iv tried mounting my wd passport 1tb to s4 i9500 5.0.1 via otg but the app plugin stops working for some reason i dont know. Iv read that it is only achievable with rooted phones for i9500 but that was sometime ago now..
Does any one know an efficient way to do this now with an unrooted phone?
Or if i need to root phone to open this wd 1tb ext hdd, what specific mods work best?

I suggest that you try to use es explorer if you still have it. it can recognize NTFS unlike the stock browser

Yeah shes an oldie lol, in the last year iv destroyed 3 phones due to tough working conditions so i cant afford to keep replacing nicer new phones I'll try es explorer as you suggested.. so far iv tried total commander with the paragon ums plugin, that does pick up smaller usb drives ie. My 16gb transcend stick. Other reports mention to root & cm11 does the job.
Anyway I'll give es explorer a shot and report back :good:

Ok tried. Es explorer at first recognised the wd passort 1tb ext hdd but wasnt able to read any files showing 0% after i still tried to open the folder but phone crashed.
Not sure if the cause was due to only 35% battery life or a clash of paragon ums plugin wanting to start up too?
Unless someone has better ideas i might just use a pc to transfer the files from the wd 1tb to the smaller recognisable 16gb usb. Or use the pc to copy in the phones micro sd.
If i go the root option for i9500 5.0.1 to use otg with the wd 1tb ext hdd what flash files are most suited?
Hello,
I've tried to mount my external sd card, which is on ntfs with several tools, but they all fail.
It seems that fuse is not compatible with the selinux ? Is there any chance we can still use NTFS ?
Thanks!

I bought my Note 3 in order to have a mobile media player, using the multimedia docking station, a HDMI monitor and a hard drive. I have several Android devices like MK908 stick which accept NTFS formatted drives. My plan was to root the Note 3 and install the Paragon NTFS driver. Now I had to learn that this will trigger the eFuse circuit, and I will loose my warranty. But since this was the biggest reason to switch from Note 1 to Note 3, I am still planning to root the Note 3, but prior to that I would like to know if then I will most likely be able to use NTFS formatted hard drives bigger than 32GB (this limit is documented for FAT32 drives in the manual of the Samsung docking station).
Are there any experiences?
Thanks in advance!

I know, but my hard drives are in NTFS formatted, and I do not want to reformat them....
So I am curious if the Paragon NTFS driver will work after rooting the Note 3. If there is no way to mount a NTFS formatted drive, I will not void my warranty by blowing the eFuse...

I have rooted and installed paragon Ntfs. Still not work on NTFS drive.
install Civz rom. it support mounting ntfs drive. work like a charm on my note 3
USB stick plugin for total commander works but it is a paid app. You also have to run it before you plug in the Hdd and are limited to using total commander as a file explorer for NTFS drives....

You need a custom kernel which allows SELinux Permissive.
Then install any NTFS app paragon or USB OTG mounter etc.
NTFS drives will work.

because I don't think writing into NTFS drives will work.
For normal reading NTFS drives nexus media importer also works fine.
I'm thinking to do similar setup and I agree, loading custom ROM's seems way too much, especially considering other consequences, like lost warranty or in my case loosing WiFi calling, which makes it total No Go. For simple streaming, reading may be all we need, If I want writing, I was thinking to set up secondary partition, FAT32 or exFat to dump files on to. Doing housekeeping chores, like moving files, sorting etc. I would be using my laptop anyhow, which could access everything without restrictions, since Android is way too cumbersome. And just to make sure, there are Win programs, like partition magic, that will let you repartition active drive without loosing data or moving it.
But I must say, it blows my mind how many restrictions Android has without rooting, especially being based on open source.

You are correct you can read but not write to NTFS drives. When I attempt to copy a file to the drive I get an error message that says: Error writing to target file!
Thanks SELinux.

Hello.
I use my nexus player as Kodi player
I have upgraded to android 6.0.
When y connect a USB memory stick formated in NTFS or ExFAT, android didnt mount the file system, I can only format the USB stick.
With Fat32 usb memory stick, Android mount the file system and I can access the files (/STORAGE/XXXXX).
But with the fat32 system, i can't copy file > 4 Go (big MKV video) on the memory stick (fat32 limitation).
Can you help me ?
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english.
I have run into the same issue. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like anyone has built an ASOP Marshmallow 6.0 kernel with ntfs or exfat enabled. One option is to downgrade to 5.1.1 and use Kernelfox's kernel and another option possibly is to be install CM 12.1 rom.
I found this issue annoying as well... I finally just plugged the USB stick into my router and load my large .mkv files from there... but you'd think android would support ntfs sticks... oh well.
root
install stickmount
that is the only way i know for sure to do it. i have an external drive connected directly and play large 20gb plus mkv rips doing it this way. there is a file you must install on the root but just read all the instructions in the stickmount description in the store

you need to make sure you follow the instructions for the file that needs to be installed with stickmount. all the instructions are in the stickmount description in the store.

Yes sir. I installed 6.0.1, rooted and installed Stickmount. Everything works. The only thing different from Android 5.1 is when I plug my hard drives in, I have to go into ES File Explorer and unmount both drives, because of Android 6.0's built in OTG support. Then I can go into Stickmount and mount the drives as usual. It adds an extra step, but I think it's worth it because Android 6.0 looks much smoother than 5.1 did.
Edit: I've also found out in the past that things go smoother if you unmount drives in stickmount before you take out or plug in another drive.
Edit2: Also, my drives are NTFS formatted. Stickmount asks you to download 2 files when you first open it. I suspect these are the NTFS and EXFAT compatibility files, because I've never had a problem with NTFS drives.

I know that it's too much later but after suffering the inability to mount neither exFAT nor NTFS in stock MM in my Idol 3, i leave the program that mounts successfully both file systems, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.tcplugins_ntfs_ro
It's weird but in LP i could mount exFAT file systems without any external program and after upgrading to MM it's not possible, sometimes AOSP gets worse. Anyway, before that i used to make use of this app to mount NTFS and still work in MM, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter

I think it depends on the format of your device. Fat32 or other Fat formats can't transfer files over 4gb. The NTFS format can though.
