Exfat is pattended by microsoft
It's beter than fat32, because it can handle file's larger than 2gb.
The last thing i know about exfat is that there wass a implementation in Android system and it's fully supported. So i don't think it will cause problems, but remember, the implementation is still in beta version.

Format of the SD card when your format it in your phone

I just formatted my SD card when it was mounted in my phone using the settings in the phone. Anyone know what format they use? I'm looking for Fat32 to load a ROM. Thanks

The Android OS uses the FAT32 file system for your sd card, but I'm not sure what you mean by needing it to load a ROM..

I can confirm that if you put in a 64GB mSD card and format it in the GS3, it will be formatted exFAT. I don't know about the smaller size cards.

yeah, depending on the size of the sdcard, you may need to manually reformat it on a computer. Directions from here.
You need to have your SD Card formatted to FAT32. exFAT WILL NOT WORK. So if you're like me and have a 64GB SD card, neither Android nor windows will let you format to FAT32 natively, so you have a few options.
Using command prompt within windows:

Use a disk management program like Acronis Disk Director (I think they may have a free trial but don't quote me on that).

[Q] Trouble with 64gig sdxc

Hi all:
Hopefully you can assist me I currently have a 32 gig card in the 8013 with lnk2sd running fine I got my hands a new 64 gig card but when I run mini partition my W& machine doesn't see the card for anything beyond 32 gig the 8013 sees it as a 64 though how can I partition it to be able toy use link2sd any clue?

Check the SD card properties in Windoze and see how it's formatted. I think FAT32 has a 32 GB limit. If it is FAT32 reformat it in ExFAT

Did you partition it already... Also what ROM are u running and how did u get link2sd working... I can't get it to work

No rom just straight root

I formated my 64GB in fat32 on my PC. Everything is now o.k.
If you use files more than 4 GB it is better to format in exfat.

I'd say Durango01 has used a 3rd party app to format FAT32. I have used Easius partition manager to do this but as JB supports exFAT, why would you?

CMR doesn't support exfat so if you are planning to use your SD card for backups as well as appdata it wont work. Best way would be to partition and have one partition exfat and another as exfat for larger files.

[Q] exfat support

Hello,
I'm looking if there is any exfat support on the Xoom.
I looked into different forum's but had no clear answer on that.
I actually use a Kingston SDXC 64gb card formated in FAT32 with the last EOS (MZ601) 4.2.1 rom.
When I reboot, the card is not/never mounted. I need to remove the sim then remove and reinsert the SD card to mount it and then reboot to get the data enabled (3G).
Thanks for your help.

exFAT
install Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+

paragon
Hi War1
I remember now that I already tried paragon in the past (when I was rooted but with original rom) and it was not working.
I just retried formating my sd-card in exfat but I have the message "damaged sd-card" and with paragon "no NTFS or HFS+/HFSX partition found"
Thanks for your support
Michel

paragon (additional info)
Hi War1,
Some additional info:
I format my sd-card with windows 7 (windows explorer) and tried quick format and "normal" format.
Maybe I need to use another software to format my sd-card?
Thanks,
Michel

You can't copy more than 4 GB on FAT32 formatted sd card.

Indeed, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table for more information, you will need to reformat your sdcard to another file system format that supports larger files (but note if your using windows your options are limited!)

then what format do i use?
obviously not FAT16, an i heard that NTFS is read-only for android system

Well thats the thing if your using windows there isnt really a file format you can use thats natively supported with windows, but I believe you could use ext3 and use thrid party software to access it in windows
