NTFS on MicroSD card? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if there will be a mod to allow use of a file system that supports large files like NTFS or exFAT? Currently the MicroSD can only be formatted as FAT32 (Sucks bigtime).

Yes it does. I've resorted to storing to the internal storage and external harddrives for now.

NTFS support android tablet?

You just need NTFS support in the kernel.
Most of the ROMs on this forum have this already. Install one of them.
NTFS works everywhere, even microSD card, on the Transformer.

Anyone know how to format a card to NTFS using android or honeycomb?

Interesting. I have a class 10 16gb microSD card, and I am pretty sure its formattet for fat32. I guess I will have to try and see if it becomes faster with NTFS

How can I find these ROMs?

Is there any ROM or kernel already made for X10 with Android 2.3.3 that supports NTFS?

We all love XDA and want to keep the threads organised so post your X10 queries in the X10 threads so this one doesnt get bogged down with irrelevant nonsense.

[Q] exfat not working

I'm just a beginner
Hi I'm using virtuous quattro rom rc3. when I formatted my microsd card to exFAT and my htc desire s shows damaged card and I've to reformat it to FAT32 so is there any solution for to make work exFAT on virtuous quattro rom?
I think you can't. exFAT is a proprietary filesystem, so noone can use it apart microsoft(wich is the owner of this FS). you can format your SDcard only in fat32 if you want to use it as a removable drive.
cheers!

no actually android support exfat when I was using exfat on htc stock rom it was just working fine
Update: my bad it wasn't exFAT but I hear android have implemented this file system but still in beta version
Really? I've never Tried it. Maybe the problem is that AOSP ROM don't support exFAT, we need someone who test that, I can't now, I'm on endymion.

Yeah I believe it has to be supported by the ROM/kernel. So HTC probably included support but the AOSP ROMs dont

Yes and I believe it can be implement into android but you have to be expert

the only way to do so is to split your files with winrar (for example) to 2GB parts, till Android supports large file sizes

Not sure what you are asking sir, I have installed these, which means I have either tested or ran the ROMs in the Dev. as far as sd card issues, there is none, now for CM9, the mount is different than Gingerbread...EMMC which means: Embedded Multi Media Card, vice the GB "ext SD" label.

Ah. It's just funny that i got that same card and never formatted it. Just plug and play on stock root. But when i go to a custom tw Rom, as soon as it boots it says"sd card is safe to remove" and reinserting gives the same message.
I thought that maybe it was because it came formatted exfat. But now I'm just lost as to the reason. Is there a way to see what format it is formatted in? Just curious as to what my issue is before i just nuke the problem by formatting it "fat"

Ok, so from what i gather. These cards are most likely shipped with exfat. Which explains why people complain about clockwork mod. I plugged my card right in and was pleased to see it worked out of box, but i also noticed cwm would not mount it. No big deal because people can flash from internal memory. But i flashed beans the other day and exfat was ejected. Also i read in other custom Rom (touchwiz) that people need to format fat32. I guess that's fine, but i would like an explanation to help my understanding.

Only if you want to allocate more ext space to sd card to run apps. I find it unnecessary and problematic. Also roms must support apps2sd to support it. These phones have plenty of space imo but others may find it useful.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate memory problem

Hey Guys. So this phone is really great,the only problem I have with it is the internal memory size. Any advice on how to swap the internal memory with the sd card? Thanks in advance.
Please guys I really need your help.
You cannot swap internal and sd card storage, but you can make the SD card act as internal storage by partitioning it

Yes I'm rooted and I have a CM9 rom.
Alright. I personally used Link2SD to gain internal memory, although there are others.
I used this guide for Link2SD (it explains everything!) http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/ it was written for xperia phones, but it is universal.
CM9 SHOULD support EXT4, but to be safe I would use EXT3, or even FAT. These shouldn't matter, but I like larger numbers. I also partitioned about 1 GB, which was enough for me, but you can always do more (don't overkill)

This one.
In the same thread there is a flashable zip that swaps between the internal&external sd cards. So you can theoretically get a 32GB microSD and have that act as your internal sd card while having the real internal memory act as a 1.5GB external sd.
