3.1 vs 3.0 questions?? - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

2 things id like to know
1. When you update to 3.1 it says you can use the right analog to use mouse in games and apps that dont use the right analog with apps like chrome - i can do this in 3.0 so whats the update??
2. Can i have write support to my NTFS 4tb HDD which is working fine now (on 3.0) or does 3.1 not support that.
I want to use it so folder mount will work with my HDD (which is external storage) which it currently doesn't due to no write access.
Also would like to know if 3.1 supports multiple partitions and whether you can make use one of them partitions as adaptable storage - just curious about this one....

[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!

Reading OTG- USB

I gotta say, I'm struggling mightily here.
I'm running stock on my Nexus 10, with 4.4.2, rooted with TWRP installed as recovery and with SU installed.
I'm trying hard to see if I can watch movies on USB using the OTG cable. All my movies are MKV's on my HD. I could convert to .mp4 if I have to.....but
I've played around mounting the stick with Stickmount as well as Nexus Media Importer. Both will mount the drives but I can't read anything on them.
I finally got it to where I could read files if they were on my Hp 16 Gb stick formatted Fat, not NTFS or ex-Fat. It will not read my Patriot 64's in any format.
I went to Stickmount Playstore page to d/l the 2 zip files that would enable NTFS support and moved them over to /SDcard. Didn't seem to make any difference.
It used to be I could play any video file of any format, of any size, on any sized stick. What happened? Do any of the other roms do any better at supporting this? Are there known limitations to KitKat? Are there work arounds/enhancements/fixes available? Should I run a different kernel?
Any help would be most appreciated.
OK. So here's where I'm at. I now come to see that the only drive that will work is a FAT32 format and that it has to be 16 gb or less in size. It doesn't matter what format the file is in. It won't read NTFS or exFAT.
Is that the experience of everyone else or what?
I've also found that I cannot format a larger drive (eg: 64 gb) in windows. It only allows exFAT on this size. I can, however, use something like EaseUS Partition Manager (free) and format the drive that way into FAT32 at least allowing a greater number of movies on 1 stick.
Next hurdle though, is how to get around the 4gb size issue.
You can try using USB OTG HELPER without any limitations as to the type of stick or drive (FAT NTFS table format) you can use. The downside that I have noticed with all those programmes that enable OTG function via root methods is that they tamper system files which in turn cause future system file update errors. (I had to manually find and replace some files in order to make my 4.3 update from 4.2 happen)

[Q] is it real to enable fusesmb on rooted stock 4.3 p605?

I see that stock kernel support fuse with fuseblk and fusectl (cat /proc/filesystems)
but there is no way to mount any net storage. sshfsandroid app, that uses fuse module (I understand it s in-kernel), doesnt work, and we cant install cifs, cause kernel is blocked. but the device, that I want to be mounted, adata dashdrive air ae400 (with 1tb wd hdd), works well with adata air elite, es explorer and other apps. it s wifi usb/sdreader. transfer speed is ok, battery is very capasious, streaming apps works very well, some players play music such as from device memory. but they arent my favorite
so I want to mount this wireless storage. is it real at this moment?

USB-OTG with NTFS

Can the Tab S5e with stock Firmware read an USB-Stick attached via USB-OTG Adapter which is formated in NTFS?
Other filesystems like exFAT or FAT32 are not possible (Fat32 because of files >4GB and exFAT because the stick is also used on deviced which do not support exFAT but NTFS)
I don't know about stock firmware, but TWRP recognizes NTFS.
I just tried it with an 8GB USB stick formatted for NTFS using the OTG adapter and it wouldn't recognize it.
I'm curious. What type of system are you using that does not support exFAT? Pretty much every modern OS supports it.

To access my NTFS-formatted USB flash drives, I use exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software. I plug in the USB flash drive into my tablet, allow the app to access the drive, tap Mount within the app, and then access my files using Total Commander. Be sure to tap Unmount within the app before disconnecting the drive.
It's a paid app but I think it's worth it. I can also access my files from my 4TB USB external hard drive.
Hopefully this helps!

I'm preparing the stick for a friend of mine which mainly wants to use the stick on her Smart TV. I'm not 100% sure if this TV supports exFAT, but my experience ist, that many TVs don't support exFAT yet. I don't want to risk to convert it to exFAT and then it won't work on the device it should be used mainly. (I can't test, because she lives far away and i have to send the stick). To use it also on the tablet is nice to have but no must.
It's also not sure if the tablet supports exFAT, is it?

I see. I would be careful with NTFS too. Not all TVs support NTFS. What is the TV model she has. Pretty much all tablets that support OTG supports exFAT. Specifically, all Samsung tablets support exFAT.

She has an Samsung TV, for the exact modell I have to ask.
Edit: In the meantime i asked fot the TV model (Samsung UE55MU6279) and checked the manual:
● The TV supports the FAT, exFAT, and NTFS file systems.
Does someone know or can try if exFAT works on the tablet?
The tablet definitely supports exFAT.
