Hello, I searched around the forums before posting, but couldn't find anything regarding this. I have a 2tb external hdd, that works just fine with my Mi A2, but only if I format it using the phone, and that formats it to Fat32, and that's a big no no. I need to store larger files on the HDD, and I was wondering, is there any custom kernel or rom, or any method by rooting the phone, to get ExFat or Ntfs support on the Mi A2 ? Thank you.
I use Total Commander with plugin: "Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software"

Does the micro sd card have to be formatted first in any particular format prior to installing the app?

plzzz provide me an answer
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.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kwull.ntfsmounter&hl=en
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.
Hello
I'm trying to enable NTFS support on my rooted Xperia V running stock 4.3 android, but none of the play store apps (paragon, stick mount, ntfs mounter etc.) worked.
How can i solve it?
NTFS?
So let me get this straight..
You would like to run a windows file system on your phone?
Or you just want to access your windows computers file system over the network?
If it's the latter then ES file explorer has a more than capable network share connector.
If the former then you will need to look here for the answer.

Funny what searching the forum shows up.
Thanks.
I just bought a 64 GB SD card and I would like to beat the FAT32's 4 GB file size restriction, but the phone doesn't support ExFAT or NTFS.
When I tried to mount it with paragon, my phone rebooted, than I saw only the sony logo agian and again, the Ntfs mounter force closed, the NtfsSd said, the resource is busy.
(the paragon worked with a pendrive and an OTG cabel, but nothing with the SD card)
I will try the second post, you suggested, thanks once again.
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
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?
