[Q] Does the USB Host reads NTFS usb drives (using cyanogenmod)?

Hi,
I would like to use an 64 GB USB pendrive with my nookhd+
I have the CyanogenMod 10.1 20130615 (not the latest one but thinking on upgrade soon).
As i want to store files bigger than 4Gb, i was thinking to format it to NTFS
Editing: should i format the USB on exFAT?
Is the nookhd+ capable of reading that filesystem by default?
Do i need any kind of software?
Thanks

Android by itself cannot read or mount the NTFS format, but there are some apps on the play store that say they allow android to mound and read NTFS.

Unfortunately I cannot say how well they work, I haven't tried these myself.

Hi, Thank you.
I tried Paragon and it didn´t work with an NTFS USB. I will try the other one, but I think I am going to stay with FAT so i can use the usb for multimedia on the NookHD+ and for portable programs on any windows.

Corsair flash voyager go 64gb otg format issues

I reformatted the otg drive above (big mistake) on my note 4 and everything seemed good until I noticed my Samsung TV no longer recognized the usb and wasn't showing up in source list. I reformatted the otg on windows to ntfs and Samsung recognized it but then note 4 said empty or unsupported and said I need to format. So it appears note 4 formated it in exfat but TV doesn't recognize. According to otg specs it default was exfat. Something is off because otg worked fine on TV and note 4 before I formatted it on the note. Any suggestions?

Well if you don't need file sizes larger than 4gb just format it as fat32.
The HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool should do the trick....

Or if you need large file sizes, ntfs is faster as well, format it as ntfs and get StickMount on your phone.

Either way it should get you up an running again.

T715 - USB OTG using ExFAT

Hi All,
I've tried to connect my 298GB exfat HD to T715 using USB OTG connector, the ES Explorer could detect that there was an additional storage been attached, but i couldn't see any file in the harddisk. What seems to be the problem here? Is it the capacity of hd that is too high or the filesystem that can't be read by the OS? My microsd card is formatted using exfat and it still can be read.
Do i need to be rooted and flash additional files? Should i be using FAT32 instead of exfat?
Thanks

try to format a < 64gb usb stick with exfat, so you can figure out if the problem is the filesystem or the capacity of your hd.
it its the fs fat32 should work if you dont want to use ext4.
cm should also handle ntfs partitions.

You can format the drive to fat32 using a windows program such as easeus partition manager (there's a free version or trial). (Windows itself limits fat32 formatting to 32gig so you need a 3rd party app like easeus)
Just remember fat32 can't support files bigger than 4 gig - so no big mkv movies for example

Can Fire 7 5.1.1 use either exFAT or NTFS

I need to mount either a sdxc card or OTG USB drive (works with FAT32 & OTG Helper Pro) for a file that is larger
than 2GB.
Is there a way to add support for NTFS or exFAT to 5.1.1 rooted stock?
Can I use a USB disk formatted for EXT4 via OTG?
Thanks

Question about otg support on Tab S2

Good morning, I would like to know if with this tablet I can use a 64gb or higher USB stick, and which format? (Fat32, exfat, NTFS)?
Thanks

OTG works fine on S2.
I have used a 128 GB stick with no problem and Micro SD up to 200 GB both internally and via OTG also no problems.

Thank you, which format are your SD and USB otg? Exfat, NTFS, fat32?

If you want to read and write to a NTFS drive (I've tested it with a SanDisk Extreme 64GB USB stick and a Western Digital 1.5 TB Elements drive) use:
Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter
And a file explorer such as Root Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
Other file explorers may work (they probably need root permissions), but the Samsung default file explorer doesn't "see" the connected USB drive.

Yeah I know those programmes, but at the beginning I wouldn't like to root my device. What I want to know is which kind of partition does the s2 natively read, from the manual I've only found fat and exfat. Could someone confirm that?

I use exFat and my latest file reader is FileKommander. I find it works best.

Thank you very much

My tab s2 Marshmallow failed to recognise my 128gb otg stick while my sisters tab 4 8" running android 5.01 recognise it just fine. Prob with permission in marshmallow?
