I took the plunge. I've been reading a lot of posts that claim it doesn't work on the Note 2, but an equal amount that say it does. I know you can either format it in fat32 or exfat. Exfat allows you to store files larger than 4GB, such as HD movies.Is there any other advantage to using exfat than the 4GB file size option? Also, I'm pretty sure exfat won't work with TWRP recovery, right? I'd be stuck with stock recovery if I opted for exfat formatting, right?
TWRP is a recovery not a kernel. If you're running stock kernel exfat should work.

It will not find the your SD card if you try to do a backup and restore if you formatted the card using exfat. I wonder what would happen if I went ahead and installed TWRP, but when I did my back up I inserted a smaller, back-up card that formatted with fat32. I could reinsert the fat32 card only if I needed to restore the backup...

I have no idea. All I know is on my ATT Inspire the nandroid backups were always stored on my SD card using CWM.
For CWM, if you want to back up to extSdCard, you have to select "backup to external card" or something like that.
for TWRP, the latest version supports exFAT & when you are in backup, you can select if you want to backup to internal or external sdcard. its a radio button.

Pretty sure I saw one of the TWRP developers say today that it does not support exfat... could be wrong though.

People are saying clockwork mod rom manager does not support note 2 yet. I think you can use Odin to install it however. Maybe it's just that the app doesn't support note 2 yet. I wonder if I should just wait until the goole play clockwork mod app adds note 2 support. I suspect it won't be long.

The latest version supports exFAT because I'm using TWRP with a 64gb formatted exFAT & the dev released a version that supports exFAT in the TWRP thread.

You don't need to use ROM manager because CWM & TWRP does everything it does and if you want to update CWM then you'll have to use ODIN.
Can you post a link to the version of TWRP that supports exfat. I can't find it. Is it just the latest version, 2.3.1.3?

Just download GooManager from the Play store and select to install Open Recovery (like previous poster said). The first few releases of TWRP did not support exFat, but the dev was nice enough to add it.
I just booted into TWRP and confirmed it's there.
Thanks.

Thanks to everyone for clearing this up! The developer of TWRP should consider noting that TWRP now offers exfat support on the TWRP OP. That's a pretty big deal IMO.
My phone arrives Monday, but my 64gb card probably won't be here for a while. In the meantime I will be using a 32GB fat32 card. Any harm in just powering down the phone and switching cards when the new, larger exfat card arrives? Switching cards never seemed to be an issue on my old Inspire. I mainly just use the card to house music and movies.

I have CWM v5.8.4.9 installed and a few days ago I use to have install zip from external SD but not it seems to be gone? I did use the Partition SD card in ROM Manager, would this have messed it up? I have since installed a new SD card and have flashed a new zip from internal.
Hopefully this ROM has great battery life lol but just use ROM manager and an older cwm that version don't support extsd

Not really. A 64GB card will work just fine with one exception. The recoveries can not access the 64GB card if it is formatted as exFAT. The ROM will handle it just fine but the recovery can only handle it if formatted to ext4 or FAT32. I still have my 64GB formatted as exFAT but I do not use if for nandroids. I either backup to internal memory or I pop in my 32GB card for recovery use.
Yes I formatted the 64gb card to fat 32 before using it in the phone.
My problem is I don't think I saved her nandroid back up from her old card, and the old one is wiped clean.
Could I use a nand from from my GS3?
I know I couldn't on my EVOs.

I have CWM 6.0.3.1 installed and im rooted. When I go into recovery the SD card does not mount. So I can't flash a new ROM. I tried to format the SD card in the phone but that did'nt help either. I have the stock ROM with 4.1.2. Can i use the stock recovery to flash a ROM or do I need CWM? When im in stock recovery the card is mounted and I can read it. Its just in CWM it will not mount,
btw-im trying to flash cm10 dont know if that matters.

Why not Odin flash the stock-rooted rom and then you can flash cwm/twrp custom roms or just stay stock rooted.
Either way it will fix your mounting issue for sure.
Big mistake if you're going to flash cm10, you are just asking for problems unless you like experimentation.
Good luck!

I did Odin flash like you told me in another post. It got the phone back up but I cant get the card to mount in CWM. I guess Ill try TWRP. Thanks for the heads up on cm10. I could stay stock but I wanted to increase the CPU speed and get some features stock does'nt have. I don't want to turn this into "whats the best ROM" but can you tell me a good one without problems.
I guess it has to do witht the SD card. I used a 1gb and it works fine. But i still need to figure out how to make the 64gb card work.
Not sure that the 64GB cards work on AOSP. Pretty sure you need TouchWiz ROM for that.

The 64GB are in EXFAT format and I don't believe CWM can identify the card in that format. You will need to format the card to FAT32 on your pc and then the recovery should read your card.

That's only one of many reasons why I always try to advise people to stay away from AOKP/AOSP/CM roms.
All of them have inferior cameras and none have wifi calling.
Those roms were meant for developers or for those who like to do a lot of experimentation.
I just got a 64gb sdcard yesterday and it works perfectly, I had a 16gb card which worked perfectly too.
The rom I am using now is jovy's Stockorama v1 which is not exactly stock, it is deoxidized and debloated
and has many mods and lot's of improvements when compared to stock rom.

All sdcards come pre-formatted with FAT32 as default because they perform better and
faster than other formats when used in cell phones and other small devices.
The only advantage of formatting sdcards with other than the default format is when you are
dealing with files larger than 4GB in size. Most people will never have to deal with files of that
size unless they want to use their phones to record video for more than 8 hours continuously.
There are many 3rd party windows 7 utilities which have other format options like MiniTool partition wizard it's a free
(for home use) partition manager that can format a partition as EXT2/3/4 from windows - http://www.partitionwizard.com

I know the aosp/aokp/cm based roms do recognize most sdcards but we are talking about 64gb sdcards
and that's where many of those roms have a problem recognizing and formatting the 64gb sdcard.

There's a patch you need to flash to get the SD card to work. Something about rooting needing to flash a new kernel. The new kernel breaks the SD card mounting. There's a fat32 patch you can flash to get it to work. Lemme find the link, its here on the forums. I had the same issue. Flashed the patch and its miraculously working. I'm sure its the same issue when you flashed the new ROM. Stand by.

Neither worked with my 64gb sd card to backup and restore and can't mount sd card to flash rom. left CWM on here because just use to it for now.
I had a tab 3 8 and twrp was way more advanced for it. is there some love missing on the note 8.
Other than that glad I returned my tab 3 and got the note 8... Lots of rom options.
