Yes and No -- NTFS
Yep, I'm having the same trouble with my 64GB NTFS sd card with this G-Pad. On the other hand, I can assure you that NTFS formatted cards will work with Android. I've been using my 64-GB NTFS sdCard in my Sasmung Tab 3 8" for the last 4 months with no problem (CM11 4.4.2 the entire time). The card became corrupted a couple months back and I chose to reformat in NTFS and it hasn't had a single problem until I just bought his G Pad. I can reformat it - I just need to find out which way is the best.

Like you said, you used CM, which has root and drivers to read NTFS cards. In G Pad, you have three options: install CM, root G Pad or format in exfat.
NTFS - exFAT
I have the same problem NTFS or exFAT do not work: (I have slimkat Rom 4.4.2 but unfortunately, one form of which we are going sou Fat16 Fat32: (
Edit : helped change the kernal?
NTFS is not enabled in the kernel for the GPad gpe, and so probably not in the other versions either. There is limited support by default in the kernels for NTFS, allowing only read, and not write access, and limited file sizes as well. Therefore no point in enabled it for our device without adding code to the kernel.
The 64 gig Sandisk card has issues with exfat. Google to find out why, or search in these threads to learn more. Fat32 works fine on every card and should be your go-to default partition type.
There are kernels associated with different Roms or devices which support NTFS.
Ditched NTFS for exFAT

Ahh. I gotcha. I temporarily dumped 40GB of SD contents onto my PC, reformatted the card as exFAT, and the stock G Pad picked up my 64GB Samsung SD perfectly. Thanks.

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

yep, and with the new Note Update, it works flawlessly , make sur eto reformat it before hand.
Likewise I am using a SanDisk 64 GB SDXC - no problems after the update and formatting.
So the new update will format it correctly?

Yes, I even took mine out and re-formatted it to make sure.
The update definitely fixed that.

I format my 64GB sdcard with this software 'MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional Edition' and it works.
Yep, it even works without the update if you format it first. Plugged it into my Mac, used Disk Utility to format the card as FAT, then plugged it in. Works great!

Well, the point was that it was Formated by the tablet, which in turn does exFat, not sure if FAT, and ExFat is different, but exFat allows files bigger than 4.7GB
I tried using my 32GB ADATA micro SD formatted to exFAT before the update came out, and the tablet wouldn't take it until I formatted to NTFS. Confirmed exFAT compatibility after update?
Yes, mine works now. But I had to format it in my n7000 first.

exFAT is the format most micro-sd's are sold with. The exFAT format sofar didn't work with official Samsung bootroms, that's why you always needed to reformat. Now it seems Samsung has built exFAT support into the latest update, so you can use a fresh micro-sd straight out of the box.
edit: updated info.
Ok, so it still only reads FAT? Too bad... I would like to be able to put a 6Gb mkv-movie on the card but I guess that's not possible, right?

Yes, the FAT file system only allows up to 4gb files.
You'll wanna format your card to exFAT which allows much larger file sizes.

Can Galaxy Note 10.1 read exFAT formatted cards?
Brgds... /Tubgirl
Ummmm, the posts above indicate they can after the recently released update.
I've yet to see written down in plain english that it can read exFAT. I've only read that it can format 64Gb cards (which might just as well be in regular FAT just like the 5.3" Note).

Yes, if you format the SDXC card in the Note 10.1 - it WILL be formatted to exFAT.
I have done it and posted it here before. When removed and read on a Windows 7 PC it reads as exFAT.

And what if you don't have the Note Update? My first Note got the update, but I didn't like the changes in S-Note. I ended up returning that one for a problem with power button and got a new one (it's nice having a Frys right down the street that stocks 32GB grey ones!). My new one does not have the Update and when I checked for updates, it did not find it. I have read posts that implied that the Update was pulled - which is just as well, since I didn't like some of the updates.
So, anyway, for those of that don't have the Update and don't want to install it anyway, is there a way to get a 64GB card to work that will allow files >4GB and will work in a Note that doesn't have the Update?
I've formatted it to NTSF before putting files on it. It still doesn't read. I tried it on my PC and it works fine.
Any ideas?
you want it to be formatted as exFAT. as far as i know, our phone does not support ntfs.

I thought exFAT wasn't a good format, and often corrupts?
I want to convert it to fat32 now.
Fat32 will work. Exfat wi only work with stock kernels and ntfs won't work with almost any kernels except like two from kt.

I recently bought a 64GB SanDisk Ultra MicroSDXC card and right after I got it, I started to play around with it.
Like I knew, stock-CM10.1 doesn't support exFat, but I decided to just plug the card in and watch if the phone would suggest me to format it to compatible format. But nothing happened. So I went to Settings->Storage, and boom, force close.
I thought that maybe it was just impossible to format the card on android, so I formatted it on Windows (to fat32) but no luck. Still fc when I try to go to Storage Settings.
Next thing I tried was recovery-mode:
-fat32 in koush's touch recovery -> cannot mount external_sd
-exFat in PhilZ's "exFat compatible recovery" -> the same thing
Then I really began to think that this whole damn card wasn't supported at all. So I tried one more time.
Clean CM10.1 flash, a try with fat32 and exFat, and after that (and after 0 successful attemps) those both formats one at a time with RedPill kernel.
And nothing worked.
But one of my attempts was not very far from success: when I was on stock fresh CM10.1, I also tried Paragon's app for mounting NTFS-partition and it actually worked. The app itself confirmed that "partition was mounted and it was nearly 60GB large". But in settings and in file managers the card wasn't recognized.
The second odd thing that I noticed (actually because of a half-accident) was that if I formatted the card to fat32 BUT set the size of the partition to exactly 32GB the card was up and running perfectly.
So my questions are:
Is there someone who has 64GB sdcard working perfectly on AOSP rom? And if yes, what is your setup?
Is it some kind of bug in CM10.1/even in all AOSP-roms out there that cards over 32 gigs don't show up at all? And if it is just a bug can we expect it to be fixed in near future?
Or is Touchwiz based rom the only solution?
And if someone is asking what software I used to format the card on Windows I tried:
- fat32format
- HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
- EASEUS Partition Master
- and of course stock Windows' format tool
And what formats I tried:
- fat32
- exFat
- NTFS
- ext4
Thanks in advance
I have the same sd card working on tw and aosp. I had to plug it into the computer and google formatting exfat 64 micro sd cards and youll find an app online. Download it to your comp and itll guide you through the rest. 10mins at max is all it should take. Hope it helps

Do you remember what aosp roms/kernels have you used while the card has been working as it should?
And do you have any clue what was that app you used to format your card?

I'll get on my computer tomorrow and tell you. But as far as ROMs and kernels, since I formatted my SD card to fat32 I use it for both tw and aosp roms from miui, to aokp, jellybam and all tw ROMs. Once your formatted properly it'll work for any ROM and kernel

Okay, good, thanks
EDIT:
Thank god, I got it working. When I downloaded and installed MiniTool Partition Wizard to my computer I noticed that somehow the whole partition of the sd card was changed to logical instead of primary. I simply formatted it to primary fat32 partition and now it works, finally.
And last but not least I have to say a big thank you.
Has anyone tried Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ on a stock (but rooted) V500 ?
I'm trying to get it to work in order to store a numer of 5 Gb files on the SD card.
Paragon says the HFS+ card is mounted but the size is not correct.
I can store small files but it the 32Gb card seems to have only ±200 Mb in ES file explorer.
Formatting it again in paragon in either HFS or NTSF seems to make no difference.
Not sure why you need this. You should be able to format the card with exFat directly in Windows and use on the G Pad. I have a few cards, all in exFat format with several large movies on them (5GB+). All working fine with no need for 3rd party app.

Thanks, that worked fine :good:
I wasn't aware of exfat solving the file size issue; I normally use a mac so exfat wasn't first thing on my mind.
