Does the s2 support NTFS SD cards?
No, but you can compile support into the kernel. It's under File System -> NTFS Support in 'make menuconfig'. I'll probably release my kernel soon.
Just for the record: It does support ExFAT.

I was thinking along the same lines, for what reason would you format an sdcard to NTFS for use in Android? It'll cause no end of issues.

Maybe he thinks he'll get better transfer speeds with NTFS?
ExFat. That's grand for HD contents. Can I format to ExFat with the s2 or is a PC necessary?

Go into storage settings and select format. Most already come formatted exFAT.
You sure, it will format to ExFat and not Fat32?
Also, can the s2 read ExFat and/or NTFS via OTG?
I currently use NTFS SD cards for HD content on my Nvidia Shield tablet (no root).

Yep, any large capacity memory cards are formatted to exFat and almost always come formatted as such.
The kernel has native support for exFAT.

Hello. I want to be able to copy files bigger than 4GB to my microsd card. It is currently formatted with FAT32 file system. Any idea if I can use NTFS for example? I need to be able to copy large video files (.mkv), and I need to find a way to do that.
I believe that exFAT will work withour any problems.

And this will work on my Andoid 2.3.6 SGN? Can someone confirm that? Is there anyone who uses exFAT on his SGN?
Anyone who uses exFAT on his SGN?
my SGN works with 16gb exFAT, 16gb FAT32, 16gb FAT but not 16gb NTFS.
i read on xda that the SGN needs to be rooted with a custom kernel to use NTFS microsd.

How you made it working with exFAT?
As far as I know exFAT isn't working on the stock SGN.
I had to format my 64 GB SDXC (which is exFAT, preformatted) in the SGN to get it working.
Regards

And you have formatted it using FAT32 right?

To use link2SD yes 4.3 Supports it I think
Actually I am 4.2 and tried Ext3 didn't work but Ext2 and Fat32 Work fine

All cards 32gb or less (SDHC cards) come formatted in Fat32.(Part of SDHC spec) This includes a file limit of 4gb max for a single file.
All cards 64gb or more (SDXC cards which the XZR supports) come preformatted in exFat (Part of SDXC spec). This does not have a 4gb file limitation.
The stock Sony Firmware supports exFat. (I bought a 64gb SDXD formatted with exFat and plugged it in and worked right away). Most recoveries do to. (TWRP does at least).
However, I flashed CM11 onto my XZR. CM11 does _NOT_ support exFat. Initially I backed up and reformatted my card in Fat32. Angry with the 4gb file limitation (I have many 720p and 1080p movies over 4gb..) I actually took the microSD card out, used a adapter and hooked it up to a Linux system (Ubuntu 13.10 in my case) and used gParted to format the card to EXT4 filesystem. EXT4 is a filesystem most Linux machines use and support natively. This is actually the filesystem most newer Android device use for their internal SDCard / Data partitions! I popped the card back in, CM11 reads it perfectly! And I was able to copy files over 4gb to the device!
So its not a hardware thing since the XZR is SDXC compatible. Just formatting / partition time issue.
Just my 2 Cents.

Your media may be formatted as ntfs or ex-fat and I think the stock kernel only supports fat32. Since you are rooted, you could try Stickmount from the Play store. It supports ntfs and ex-fat formatted media. I can mount my external 750Gb hard disk formatted with ntfs file system and it works perfectly for read/write/stream.
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
That's ridiculous. I'm very disappointed.
That appears to be an new limitation in AOSP 8.1, yes, so maybe not entirely Razer's fault though I guess they could have added it if they want. There appears to be a Magisk module that adds support via fuse if you need it. Search for "vold" in the repo. Haven't tried it yet but it seems to do what you want
HUH?
So what FS is used to format large microSD cards?

Fat32, exfat requires a payment to Microsoft and I guess they didn't want to
It'll format your cards and it might make you think your card was corrupt and you'll lose your data if it's not blank

The phone formatted it as fat32
Idc how the phone be formats it by default.
You just can use a PC to format it in exfat if you want ?*

That's fine but the phone won't read it and will reformat it
Not true
I'm using it in the actual moment on a SanDisk 200gb
I would return the phone if there would be no option to use a filesystem that supports files larger than 4gb

That's not possible. Put the actual card in your computer and post the fs.
Are you sure you mean exfat and not ext?
Wow this is disappointing. no wonder why i couldn't use my sandisk from my sony xz premium because it was formatted in exFAT.
If you use Magisk, install Vold. It will corrupt data first time (at least it did for me) so make a back up of everything before you do, after the corruption I just factory reset, reinstalled everything and it's working fine. I use my 256 gig USB c drive that's formatted as ntfs with it. I haven't tried it yet with other formats.
same question as you.
Does anyone know of an exfat solution similar to VOLD on 9.0?
