[Q] ntfs formating

I'm after any advice or guides please. I want to change my 64gb sd card from exfat to ntfs, I am using directory bind and have a file over 4gb so fat32 is out of the question. If I back up my sd card to my laptop then format it ntfs can I then just restore it and use Paragon? or is it a bit more complicated than that. My main concern is making sure directory bind still works. As I said any advice or guides would be greatly appreciated

I'm not 100% sure ntfs works on the android but if it does then take the card out and put it in a card reader and format the card like a USB thumb drive. Google thumb drive ntfs formatting, there would be allot more guides on that.

I think paragon mounts ntfs on boot I just haven't tried it yet. There is a patch that works on aosp based roms but not tw for exfat on fat32 based kernels which is why I was thinking ntfs

I have paragon installed on my phone and I'm using a ntfs formated card, so I believe u won't face any issues.
From the middle of nowhere to the center of everywhere!!

Is paragon require any additional kernel? Is it work with CWM recovery?

[Q] New 64GB micro SDXC card not working in Galaxy S4

I just purchased a new 64GB SanDisk SDSDQX-064G-A46A micro SDXC card from Newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171773
The card works fine in my S3 and in my PC, but it will not mount in my S4, not even from Clockwork Recovery. Both my S3 and S4 are running the stock ROM, but the S4 is rooted where the S3 isn't. I went to the local T-Mobile store and while they didn't have an S4 to test my new card in, they did have a Note 3 which mounted my new card just fine. Additionally the 32GB card that was in the Note 3 mounted just fine in my S4.
What is going on here?

Format the card to Fat32 on your PC and see if that works.

There is no option to format to FAT32, only exFAT. Additionally, from what I read here Windows cannot format FAT32 volumes lager than 32GB.

A bit more reading and it seems the kernel that removes the SetUID restriction causes issues with exFAT formatted cards. Thankfully the fix is easy, just needed to install this exFAT module from recovery. The entire process is described here.

Here is a free windows utility which will format any size sdcards using FAT32.
Give it a try. Here is the direct download link: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/download/fat32format.zip
Good luck!

There's plenty of software to format the 64gb card to Fat32. I'm running a 64gb card in Fat32 format right now.

shouldnt need to format to fat32 i have 2 diff sandisc 64g cards in tmobile s4's and they are exfat and work fine.. are you sure you are on stock kernel.. if you change it lots of kernels do not work for exfat.

I found guiformat made mine work. Same card and I was having issues, too.

SD card format?

I was wondering what format can the note 3 use. Can it use exfat or fat32. I am using a 64gb SD card right now and forgot what it is formatted to but I think it's fat32. Can it use exfat because one of the tormenting apps gave me trouble when I tried to download a 15gb file. I emailed the developer and he said it might be because my SD card is formatted and doesn't allow big files.

The 64gb card should be exFAT

ExFAT support for otg.

Can NTFS formatted drives be supported on nexus 7 from otg?
When I insert it says damaged drive, need to format.
Need help.

Yes, I use a 64gb SD card formatted in exFAT using Paragon to set SELinux to permissive.

Mines 1 TB hard disk formatted with NTFS don't work.
Any way to do NTFS??
Sorry question was wrongly posted,I actually wanted to try NTFS.

I just told you, download Paragon.

[Q] How to Enable NTFS support for SD Card on Windows 10 Mobile?

We all know that since Microsoft's transition from CE Kernel to NT Kernel on Windows Phone 8, they started to support NTFS file system on C: while SD Card still doesn't have that support by default....
I was just wondering if we can enable NTFS support on Windows 10 Mobile? If we got NTFS, we can do some cool tricks like mklink D:\Android to C:\Data\.....................\Android on Windows 10 Mobile :3
So any ideas? :3

I don't think there's a open API (or even private) to format a partition.
The only way would be to change the way the system handle SD Card, to format to NTFS. And I think that would be VERY hard.
The easy way: Just format the SD Card on a computer.

I don't need formatting it to NTFS with my Phone, what I am looking for is NTFS support on SD Card, because it's a fact that C: on Windows Phone was using NTFS. If we got NTFS on sdcard, tricks like mklink will be possible (and darn helpful :3 XD ). Formatted my SD Card to NTFS earlier thou, when I plugged it back to my Lumia, it says it doesn't support the file system..... :/

You are correct. SD Card support on Windows 10 is only FAT32 and exFAT. No NTFS support for SD Card.
