So far the only solution I've found is a custom kernel and only for the international version...any thoughts for those of us with AT&T?
I believe it does take a custom kernal. We'll just have to be patient on a kernal dev to implement it. I noticed on Ktoonsez's kernal I was able to mount my ntfs thumbdrive and see the files. I didn't try copying any files from it to my phone but that should work. I was unable to play the music files on my thumb drive though and although I haven't tried it, I assume I wouldn't be able to write to it as well.
I installed NTFS Mounter and StickMount and between the two, have been able to mount NTFS flash drives using the rooted stock AT&T ROM with stock kernel.

Interesting - I'm skeptical of apps with so few reviews though! NTFS Mounter also does not list the S3 as compatible but good to hear that it's working for you.
Is StickMount necessary? Mine seems to auto mount FAT32 just fine.

I recently started experimenting with usb otg and I'm checking every device if they are identified and how they are identified.
I also tried a an Exfat formatted usb memory. The device is identified but the file system is not. Then I thought if the performance of sdcard partition may be positively affected if it's formatted as Exfat. Copy speeds are still a problem even in ICS.
When I made some research, I found out that there are hardware level solutions for Exfat compatibility. However, some people claim Exfat support with custom roms for other devices.
Do you think this can be achieved with the kernel for KF and can we use it for the sdcard partition?
hmmm not sure, but it sounds cool.

From what I've seen so far this would be a FUSE module if ever so it need ROM support. From a purely kernel build, a read only version is feasible but then that would be useless in my opinion.
I've only got fat32 to mount. exfat and ntfs definitely dont work out of the box

Are there any kernels for the S3 (ATT version) that supports NTFS? I'd like to be able to use my phone to let my kids watch movies when on car trips or something but dont' want to take up the room on my phone's SD card. I have a flash drive and the correct cable to connect it to my phone, but its NTFS formatted and have files over the FAT32 size limit. My S3 is Stock Rooted and would like to keep it that way. Moving to an AOSP ROM isn't what I want right now so a kernel for stock sammy is needed.
You don't need a kernel look for Paragon NTFS in the market. It needs root access and it won't mount automatically but its really easy to use.

Thanks! I don't use it often so automounting isn't an issue. Imma check it out right now.
Hey guys, I'm just about to get the Note 2, and i was wondering if it supports mounting NTFS flash drives, either through the stock rom/kernel, or with root + applications such as NTFS Mounter, StickMount, Paragon, etc.
It would be great if someone could check this for me

Try this. It works great at first Note.
Has anyone got NTFS mounting to work, specifically from an OTG adapter and external hard drive? I see an old thread about NTFS mount, but the search function is broken on XDA (when clicking on a search result, it just takes you to the front forums page, not the actual thread you clicked on), so I can't read it.
I tried Paragon NTFS+, which works with my hard drive drive & OTG adapter when using my LG G2, but on my Note it fails to mount. Paragon doesn't give an error message, it just tries to mount for a few seconds then does nothing. I also tried NTFS Mounter, which crashes when trying to mount.
I ended up using Wireless File Transfer Pro to transfer a large file because MTP is broken on my laptop with all devices. I've tried everything under the sun to fix MTP, but it's just broken until I reimage this machine.
FWIW, I'm using CleanROM 1.5.

There are a couple NTFS Mount apps on the Play Store, none of them are working as of yet though.
When trying to mount using ntfs-3g and fuse.ko by hand, ntfs-3g stops with some sort of permission error.
My guess is it doesn't work with SELinux on Enforcing yet.

USB Plugin for total commander works.. It's a paid app but it works... Only thing though, you need to Total Commander as the File manager. It will also copy a file, temporarily, to the tablet. But it does read the NTFS 1.5Tb drive I plug in....
Ext HDD + OTG + NTFS
If you want your SM-P600 to mount and read NTFS formatted Hard drives you will nee to install the kernel shown here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2615959
After you do that you can install Paragon or USB OTG helper,the hard drive should be mounted and your tablet should be able to show the files on it if you use ES file explorer

Anything for sm-p605?
I researched for ways to make 10.1 14 read any external HD with NTFS format thru OTG.
Found a couple of ways, tried and it still show me empty folder.
Tried both Stickmount and [root]Ntfs Mounter and both doesn't work. It tried both of them with my 3 HDD (256 GB SSD, 1TB and 2TB WD Passport).
I was hoping to connect it without having to reformat any of the disk to ExFAT or FAT32.
Is there any method that's working yet
Really appreciate the help. TIA.

Hi,
There is only one working solution as I know.
You have to install TotalCommander and then also the relate USB plug-in.
The only limit is that for NTFS is read-only.
For all the other programs you find on the store for OTG management, are not working because of the restrictions made by SELinux in enforcing mode.
To solve this, you have to find a working custom kernel that sets SELinux in Permissive mode. But as far as I know there is nothing for sm-p605.

Thanks for the response. So that's why everything that I'm trying just tells me its mounted but doesnt show me anything.
I was hoping to use it as OTG storage so read-only seems pointless at this moment.
I guess we wait right Thanks again sir!

AFAIK, bindroid kernel is coming with NTFS support, limited to SM-P600 and SM-P601.
Since about two days there's a new version of Stickmount, which will during the first run download additional stuff to enhance compatibility. I would suspect an Ntfs driver.
without ntfs drivers in kernel, you cannot read ntfs format...
