ex-fat supported recovery - Asus Transformer TF700

I just received my 64GB sd card and was surprised to find out TWRP 2.2.2.3 did not support ex-fat. Is there a version somewhere that does support it?
P.S. I don't mind switching recoveries if that is what is recommended.

Don't be surprised that free software doesn't support Microsoft's proprietary and patented filesystem. Just format it with fat32 or use a smaller card for recovery.

I have formatted it to FAT32 for now but I know Ziggy wrote a TWRP that does support ex-FAT for some devices. Guess I'll head over to his site and see if by chance he has written one for this thing. I just thought there would be a version for this tablet.

NTFS on MicroSD card?

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?

[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

And hope to see exFAT supported soon, way faster than 32/16 on windows

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

Exfat and custom roms?

What is the reason that custom tw roms do not support exfat format for the sd card? The phone does natively support it, what was removed or modified?

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.

Tf701 ROM Conversion

I have been considering making my own rom for the tf700 and thought that it would be nice if I could port the tf701 stock rom or the new CROMI- X rom over to the tf700. Is this even possible? I thought that if I swapped out the kernel and the drivers that it should work is this true?

You should move the thread to the General section. It's not a development thread.

It indeed belongs in the general section.
Rom can't that easy be ported because SOC is totally different and it would bring simply too much work and even maybe it is impossible.
You may be able to port parts of the framework but it would be a massive amount of work. One issue is the files are much larger in the TF701T ROM due to the higher resolution meaning that even after you massively deboat the stock firmware it is hard to fit into the system partition. It is possible to maybe get it running on rom2sd but considering thee minimal changes in 4.3 over 4.2 I don't consider the effort and amount of debugging worth it. Don't forget we have a boot loader and kernel for 4.2 so there is some work to do first to get it to even boot.
Feel free to have a go though
