[Q] XOOM and portable hard drive

Does the XOOM pair well with a portable hard drive? Im noticing I am traveling more, and need my laptop less and less in the process. The XOOM seems to take care of a majority of my needs, but I was wondering if I am able to plug in an external portable hard drive, and have the XOOM pull data, and add data to the hard drive. I'm sure I would need an app to do this (if possible) as well?
Your help is greatly appreciated

anyone know this?

If you use a USB Drive enable kernel (like Tiamet) and the drive is powered and does not contain a USB hub (like the one I tried), it might work.

I actually tried this yesterday. My XOOM is rooted and configured to use a USB Host adapter to accept USB storage. I've tested with several thumb drives, all seem to work. Yesterday I hooked up a 320GB self powered USB HDD and unfortunately it did not work. It could be just this drive, so only way to find out is test with others =)

Your problem is most likely that you don't have the drive formatted as FAT32. I tried a 250GB drive and it worked nicely. In this thread I have a link to a site that offers you a free simple solution (Windows itself does not allow formatting of such large drives with FAT32).

You know what, you are 100% correct. I forgot I had this drive formatted at NTFS for something else I was toying with. I just tried a FAT32 self powered USB drive (120GB) and it worked just fine.

I LOVE easy solutions! Enjoy your HDD and don't forget to thank the guys that enabled the USB hosting!!!

so I should pick up a hard drive (portable), and then format it to fat32? Ill use the link from your post and I'm good?

If you read the thread carefully people mention issues with certain thumb drives that have indicator lights because they might require too much power. However, when I connect my iPhone all it does is charge So my interpretation is that the HDD needs to have its own power source

Sadly the problem with fat32 and Android in general at the moment is that you can't use files >2 gigs. You could on Androids internal storage which is usually a file system that supports large files(RFS,EXT3/4...) if your device has that much internal storage available.
Does anyone know what our internal file system is? I haven't messed with it enough to know yet - but assuming because the thing mounts in Windows. - its FAT(at least the part we can mount and write to from windows).
And all of this boils down to Windows and their lack of reality in that we don't all run NTFS, and that maybe, possibly, someone MIGHT WANT TO HOOK UP A GOD BLESSED EXT DRIVE!
But i guess I could just format all of my stuff as NTFS, because the open source community is actually smart and Linux can read it. But then again maybe I would need to work on someones stupid ass Mac and need to write a file to said NTFS drive - OH WAIT CAN'T EF'IN DO THAT!
/rant

You could probably use ext2 on the hard drive - it can be configured to be readable and writable in Windows. It's similar to FAT32 but doesn't have the limit on file size.

[Q] How do I mount my sdcard as a drive via USB?

I have a TF101 running Prime 1.1, and a sdcard inserted in it.
I wanted to mount it as a drive via USB to my laptop through a usb cable (like I do on my phone), but I can't find an option for it on Honeycomb to do so. Anyone know how to do this?

Having the same issue. Running Ubuntu 10.04. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

it's already mounted, on device storage there's a folder called microSD, if that doesn't work just pop the microSD card out and pop it back in while plugged in.

To be honest i do not think there is any way to do that yet
Honeycomb does not offer an easy way to include removable storage (which is why the xoom doesnt support sd cards yet officially)
Asus bypassed the Honeycomb issue and mounted the SD card to a directory (Removable Storage)
Since the built in storage is seen as the sdcard by honeycomb that is what is seen by computers
When the next version of honeycomb comes out, they should address this issue
...hopefully
For now i carry one of these bad boys on me while i'm at school (along with my gazillion flash drives )

very cool item there. might pick one up myself.

Wait so are you telling me that presently there is no way to access your microSD card from your computer? (without using any extra accessories)

Oops just realized it was mounted in the storage folder**
Had to replug in my Sd card

Seshmaru already posted the solution to this earlier in the thread.
When your Transformer is attached to a Windows PC, the SD card is mounted as a subdirectory under device storage.

Android switched from the USB storage class to MTP from Honeycomb. In order to access MTP storage from non-Windows machines you'll need an MTP driver.
For Mac use Android Filetransfer. For Linux use MTPFS.
Details for both can be found here:
http://droidweb.com/2011/05/moving-files-onto-android-3-0-devices/

MTP sucks, you have to use Windows' default copy and paste and it doesn't give you full acess to all the files (only ones Honeycomb wants you to see), horrible system.

Agreed. I also dislike the inconsistency between actual files and those displayed via MTP. Fortunately most readers of this forum know how to use ADB push/pull or the file explorer to move internal files to a removable USB storage device.

Watch out
I've got 3 USB 2.5" HDs. All are NTFS formatted and SATA internally with external eSATA connectors so to me similar cases. All work fine on my PCs. On the TF 2 work and these 2 have a similar case but the 3rd is not picked.
Just something to be aware of that your case can be an issue

[Q] Mount Xoom as USB Storage

I just swapped my Samsung Galaxy Tab with a Xoom and I'm a bit miffed. I understand that the Xoom has 32GB of internal storage and does not come with an external SD card (or at least the person I bought it from kept the card).
With my SGT, when I plugged it into my Win7 64bit PC, the SD card would come up as a USB mass storage device.
Is there any way to do this with the internal storage of the Xoom? It's aggravatingly SLOW transferring files through the Personal Music Player icon that Win7 tosses in My Computer. I (as well as several other apps I use) would rather have a physical drive letter to copy to and from.
Not afraid to use a custom ROM or a modded apk or other system file. Yes, I did search and I also read the suggested topics that came up on the posting page, nothing was specifically related to the Xoom.

Yes. The Tiamat Rom, as well as the official 3.2 update activated the SD card slot in the xoom. No, the Xoom didnt ever come with a sdcard already in the slot like phones do, so you didnt get ripped off. the xoom file system is a little funny, "SDcard" is a seperate partition in the internal memory. If using Tiamat, and you have a sdcard in the sdcard slot, its labeled "external1" in the /mtn partition. When first placing an sd card in the slot, the system does take f o r e v e r, to recognize it (make sure you are also pushing the "mount sdcard" button in the storage settings menu). I generally just reboot the xoom after mounting a new card, that usually speeds up the process. When its all said and done when you plug the xoom into your pc you will get two hard drives that pop up, internal and sdcard. And heads up, you still cant put apps2sd like phones can, and you have to use root manager to move files from internal sdcard to external.

Yeah, that's the problem. At the moment, I don't have an SD card to put in it, but I was still expecting the internal storage to be mapped to a hard drive. I don't mind the Xoom showing up as a PMP but a lot of the apps I use as a developer (and some I use recreationally) need an actual drive letter I was hoping that even without an SD card mounted, that the internal storage would show up as a local disk. I've got 3.2.2 if that helps any.

Bought several SD cards, seems one of the contacts on the inside is dead, so I'm out as far as SD cards are concerned

If that's the case, you got a bad deal. Generally, the Xoom is excellent and though you can work around it, having the sdcard feels pretty essential to me. Hopefully you can get it fixed or get your other tab back.

The contact wasn't dead, it had a piece of clear plastic tape over it (not intentionally, it was a corner of what looks like shipping or packing tape). Got a whopping 4GB SD card plugged in, shows up fine under /mnt/external1 but neither of them are showing up as drives in Explorer
I've got 3.2.2, 4G build (HLK75D), tried this with and without root, no luck with any config.
Edit: Okay, lots of searching later, and it seems Google thought it was a wonderful idea to not include such functionality with Honeycomb. I am extremely well versed in c++ but I have never written a driver before, but I will be downloading and studying the Windows Driver Development Kit and seeing if I can write a replacement driver specifically for the Xoom to create an MTP to Logical Disk bridge driver.
In effect, you'll replace the standard Windows MTP Driver for the Xoom with this custom driver, which will bridge MTP to a lettered drive in Windows Explorer. Yeah, I know it's a complicated step but I want my damn Xoom to have drive letters in Explorer and as a programmer, I usually end up solving my own problems when the software giants pull retarded stuff like this.

Cool. Let us know when you've got it. I'm sure there will be interest for such a driver.

Just an update, the MTP side of the bridge appears rather simple to do. I may see why Google decided on MTP instead of the old unmount/mount dance. MTP allows the device to basically 'share' the storage without isolating it to a single device. Although if a hobbyist programmer like me can feasibly believe that they can program an MTP bridge, I don't see why the college educated, career programmers at Google couldn't do the same.
Basically what I am looking at is a driver that will bridge the MTP side of the Xoom over to a virtual hard disk device in Windows. It looks like I'll need to implement a way to present the virtual drive as a FAT32 (or maybe NTFS) formatted device, since software-wise all a virtual disk handles are pointers to what amounts to the 'raw' areas of a disk. Still working on it, as mentioned before I'm a hobbyist and have never dug into driver development.

I forgot that Team Tiamat had implemented usb mass storage in an earlier verion of their Xoom kernel, but decided to remove it as it caused many complications. Look in the back pages of the Development section, for tiamat kernels and also dinomite's mass storage watcher thread. You may be able to find something you can use.

External HDD

I just picked up a WD Passport 1TB drive, and I thought I would try connecting it to my S4 (I337M) VIA USB OTG. The GS4 recognizes that it is connected, and seems to power it just fine. But the phone is saying "blank or unsupported flie system". with no option to format. Is there a chance I can get this going? I've done some searching and have not seen much. I would like to be able to not take my PC with me for 2 months of training in Arizona in the new year. Survive on my S4 and Nexus Tablet, backing them up nightly on a portable would be perfect as its commercial flight training! Weight is an issue Hauling my laptop around seems SO 2010!

S4 or android for that matter do not support ntfs file format natively. If you are not rooted, there is an app called NEXUS MEDIA IMPORTER and it's a paid app, but it will enable you to read and copy files off from the hard drive. The only thing is that you wont be able to write to the drive.
Now if you are rooted, all you need is to search "ntfs" from the Play store and you'll find lots of apps that will enable you read and write to ntfs file format hard drives.

The other option would be to format the drive to FAT32. There are tools out there for Windows that can do this. Big drawback is that the drive does not support files larger than 4GB's. If your device is rooted installing NTFS support would be the better option.

OR you could format it to EXT3 or 4, and use applications in windows to mount it. I used to do this all the time to share files across my windows and linux installations.

Thanks! I'll give all that a shot. Thanks for the replies! Very appreciated!

Expanding storage

Right now I'm playing with expanding the storage for stuff not necessarily related to apps. While I can get the majority of my media through streaming (via a media server), there are some things that I need more space for.
I have a USB hub connected via a USB OTG cable as I also plan to use my Logitech F710 (maybe multiple if it works). I have confirmed my USB flash drives work fine. Note that I'm referring to USB flash drives, not USB card readers (they work a bit differently).
exFAT: so far, no go (some Android devices support this, apparently not the NPlayer)
FAT32: works great, but the larger the drive, the less storage efficiency (I'm working with a 64gb drive), and it has a hard limit on storage size (128gb) and file size (2gb)
NTFS: read only
EXT2: does not work
So it looks like if you are using a large storage device, and if it works, ext2 will be the best option. For you Windows users, this can bring complications due to lack of native support. There's ext2fsd but you can't format a drive with it, only read/write.
If EXT2 works as I've seen with my past usage with Android, this gives you the option to get some pretty large storage expansion with decent efficiency. FAT32 has some pretty harsh limitations. With 512gb USB flash drives in existence, if you want to go large, FAT32 may not be an option.
Edit: updated state of ext2
I suspect these may be problems with the app being used. To extend beyond this, it appears I may need root. The end result is if you want a volume larger than 128gb, you're going to be read-only. If you want read/write on a large volume (larger than, say, 32gb) you're going to have poor storage efficiency.
So now we wait for the hacking to get better storage support!

Thanks for testing the formats. Once we have root, we'll be able to have the NP recognize the external storage everywhere with StickMount and, with something like the Xposed module "OBB on SD" (or any number of other methods of mounting android space to external) you'll be able to install a ton of games/etc to the external drive where you have unlimited space. The 8gb limit in the NP still sucks, but once we have root that'll be largely mitigated if not moot for most users.

Thanks for the info, mate.
If it reads NTFS does it means I can load my HDD via windows and just plug and play on nexus player?

Has anyone tried Towelroot

Ordered last week should in my hands on the first week of December. I have a 2T drive that would great if that works. I will hold on to my FireTv which it has been rooted using the 2T drive.

Keep in mind that if you have a bus powered hard drive, it will likely require a powered USB hub to work. I doubt the OTG port will provide enough power, but I could be wrong. I have a USB 3 drive I could test later.
Yes, if you have a NTFS formatted drive, you can put stuff on it with your computer and read it with the NP. As long as reading that something doesn't try to modify something there, it should work fine.
Note to self: Use a linux machine to format ext2. Seems these windows programs are really really slow at it.

So I'm thinking I need to re-assess the above results as I suspect ES File Explorer is to blame for things expected to work, but not working. It will not work with EXT2 and requests to use either FAT32 or NTFS.
I'll have to do more digging.
Edit: Tested several file managers and was unable to get any further. To get EXT2 I suspect it needs to be mountable somewhere in /, which is what I believe stickmount takes care of for us (I could be wrong). But this requires root.

I'm assuming that scenario would work just fine, however I can't test it to be certain.

Drewg over in the kodi forums posted a manual way of correctly mounting usb storage into the / filesystem. Here's a bit of that and a link:
Code:
mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
mkdir /mnt/obb/mnt
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/obb/mnt
You could, of course, choose what dir you mount the storage in, its the mknod that is key. This also assumes your usb storage is being recognized as sda1 already.

I'll have to see if I can do this with ext2. vfat has the same limitations as fat32 as that is the spec it implements.

Rooted & Installed Stickmount.. still unable to access USB files
Before I was rooted, I tried exFAT, NTFS, and FAT32.. but the USB would show in ES File explorer but won't open. Now I've rooted and installed Stickmount. When I connect the USB, it mounts it ("/sdcard/UsbStorage/sda"). But I'm still not able to access it. Any suggestions or solutions if you guys have rooted your device?
EDIT: I tried again using a 32GB USB Drive (exFAT) and StickMount mounted and I was able to access its contents using ES File Explorer and it also showed up in MX Player. I was able to play HD movies through it with no problem. Working perfectly. (I had to sideload stickmount, as it can't be installed through web play store).

I'm planning to experiment with this today. I just need to get the stickmount apk transferred over as the play store lists it as incompatible. Ext2 might work best for this method as I'm not sure the stock kernel has exfat nor ntfs support and I'm biased against using fat32.

It appears root, stickmount + foldermount 2.7 works fine and lets you move games to OTG-USB. I moved MC4 easily enough and it worked although it couldnt create the mc4 directory on the stick so it stuck it directly in an obb dir I created, so you might want to create your directories first.
But MC4 definitely appears to be working. Im going to try bards tale next.
Edit Bards Tale doesnt seem to work and I attempted to move MC4 into a cleaner directory and I cant get it to work again, so I am going to download its data and try again...
Edit2: now MC4will not work. Pin turns green showing everything to be linked properly but its not working now

Thanks for your updates. I am away on business but am very interested in this aspect of the NP. Hopefully you can get it working and others can help troubleshoot. There are a few different apps that enable this functionality once rooted, but I'm sure all of them have some teething issues under the new Lollipop. Good luck.

I kept it simple and used a 32gig flash drive fat32

I can confirm stickmount works with fat32. I'm working out how to get ext2 or ext4 working. ext2 would be preferred for a flash drive but I've not had luck yet. I plan to try ext4, but given the fact ext2 didn't work, I don't have high hopes. I think It's an issue with permissions and I might have to futz with that to make it work.

Good to know stickmount is working well. Have either of you attempted foldermount, obb on sd, etc and had success yet? Thanks for the updates.

I might switch to another app tomorrow, but I sent the foldermount author an email describing the problem. I feel pretty confident it is simply teething issues as it did work for a small amount of time.

I had some issues with stickmount. It works, but I wouldn't say "well". At one point it kept freezing and getting into a bad state but since reinstalling it I haven't had any further trouble. Caveat emptor.
