exFAT/NTFS R/W Support on Franco - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have exFAT and NTFS R/W support working with Franco kernel on this device? It works with Faux kernel, but I would like to be able to use my Meenova microSD adapter with ease on Franco.
I know StickMount works with the "mount.exfat-fuse" and "ntfs-3g" files on the root of internal, but it is read-only for both file systems.

Why create an extra thread if you could have posted this question in the Franco Kernel thread?

Well, I did ask earlier but Franco said he won't be adding support for it. Was just wondering if there's a "3rd party" solution to get it to work.

The latest update of the "USB-Stick Plugin" for the File Manager "Total Commander" supports writing the exFAT format.

[Q] OTG Problem?

Hi guys! Just got a new USB OTG cable and also got stickmount PRO, and i connected my flash drive to my phone and stickmount detected it and i clicked mount and after i was done i clicked unmount and the flash drive got unmounted and so did my sdcard partition and it wouldn't be mounted unless i reboot my device, i've heard of this problem before but never found a solution. Also i'm running the latest version of slimkat and franco kernel, If there's a rom and, or kernel that supports OTG could you point it out for me please cuz i don't want to use stickmount because of this problem. I also tried usb OTG helper and the app crashes when i mount. Please help me and i'm sorry for asking a noob question.
Chaos kernel supports otg. I haven't tried it though.
Chaos is a CAF kernel so you'd have to use an old version on slim.
I use elementalx on slim which also automounts otg via the storage menu.
I still use stickmount too though because elementalx hasn't exported external storage in the correct way yet so can't use foldermount. If you simply want to browse though, elementalx is fine.
I've never had this problem with stickmount. I've never used franco though

Thanks! I'm gonna flash elementalx and report back, also would you mind telling me what rom you're running just in case it didn't work for me.

LOL I didn't see that. also i flashed elementalx and i'm still getting the same problem:crying:, i unmount and then a popup shows saying that youtube crashed and when i go to es file explorer it's the same problem. Is there another kernel which isn't CAF that natively supports usb otg?
You're unmounting via storage menu and not using stickmount?
No.point looking at kernels. This isn't a kernel problem. This is a you problem. By you, I.don't mean you yourself. Rather, I mean there is a problem with your config. Usbotg works fine with latest slim and elementalx without issue. Must be an app or something.

Thanks for telling me bout elementalx unmounting and mounting via storage menu works now, but the problem is still there with stickmount, it seems like it's stickmount's problem. You also mentioned that elementalx had a problem with external storage does that mean that i can't use apps like GLtoSD so that i can put my game data in my flash drive?
I only use stickmount because of a setting that's missing that prevents foldermount mounting folders from /sdcard to USB. You don't need to use it simply to browse.
No idea why stickmount causes this problem for you. Works fine for me.
No idea what gltosd is. You'll have to test it yourself

GL to SD does the same thing as foldermount except it's a more user-friendly interface made for games
Probably wont work then without stickmount

Just found out that the main problem was my explorer (after i unmount with stickmount es file explorer tells me sdcard not found but other explorers show it normally) it wasn't the kernel's problem nor stickmount's. Godammit i feel so stupid *facepalm*. Anyways thanks for helping me, also elementalx is amazing, really good battery life and performance.
Yep good kernel

[Q] Which custom kernel works with StickMount?

Hi there,
I had tried few different kernel and non of them givies me the OTG mount through stickmount. The StickMount just said it was mounted at /storage/usbStorage/sda1, but when use the file manager to check, the folder wasn't appeared. I'm sure the USB thumbdrive works and the cable as well as in TWRP, I could mount it and even make backup there too.
Anyone could shine some good advice for me?
Current setup:
ROM: Cataclyms
Kernel: n3oHammer_AOSP_V20_cpuquiet
Other testing setup:
ROM: OMNI nightly
Kernel: n3oHammer_AOSP_V20_cpuquiet and some other kernels too.
Thanks.
Ah.. in fact it works as it mounted on the sdcard/usbStorage instead. I searched in wrong folder instead. Thanks for your time.
Stickmount doesnt need any particular kernel
Its NOT mounted in /storage/usbStorage. Its /sdcard/usbStorage

[Q] ES File Explorer permission denied when copying to OTG flash drive

I've been getting this error whenever I try to copy anything onto a flash drive:
"EACCES (Permission denied)"
It used to work just fine before, so I don't know why it isn't working now.
The flash drive is EXFAT formatted. Phone is rooted, running ElementalX with EXFAT support ticked and Stickmount Pro. Reading any file still works.
Any ideas as to what happened?

What location are you browsing to to get to the flash drive? Is it the latest elemental?

I believe so, as long as the kernel does as well. I know I've been able to write to this drive before, just haven't done so in a while.
no idea.

Anyone any ideas? I am having the same problem, exact same scenario using rooted stock on nexus 5. :crying:
My solution to NEXUS 5 can write to OTG USB pendrive
Ok, that's that I did, and it worked ( 4 or moure hours testing various things)
I used a Corsair Voyager GO 64 gb with NTFS filesystem.
My Nexus 5 is rooted.
I installed Chainfire "StickMount". So we can mount out USB pendrive to /sdcard/ubsStorage/sda1 No need to be PRO app.
I installed Paragon "paragon NTFS&HFS". Open it, and will ask to fix SELinux policies to Permisive. So Root Explorer can see now /Data/Media/ClockWorkmod/backup
I installed Jrummy Apps inc. "Root Explorer". I will copy, for example /Data/Media/ClockWorkmod/backup to /sdcard/ubsStorage/sda1 whithout any problems.
Don't forget to unmount USB drive before disconnecting it, go to StickMount and choose unmount
ES FILE EXPLORER WILL SAY "No space" "Error" or similar
Worked for me!
I'm happy with my investigation. I used Root Explorer in the past, and now it's useful again.
Sorry about my english, not perfect.
ENJOY!

Mount exFAT USB storage

I am using the Elemental X 1.01 kernel that lists exFAT and NTFS as both supported. I tried using the built in storage mount and it just wants to format the drive. I then tried Stick mount and that just seems to lock up it's mount service. How can I read/write my exFAT formatted USB drive?
Saw your post elsewhere. The only time I've done this in the past was by using TWRP file manager. At first the drive couldn't be read, so running fix permissions did the trick. Other than that, I'm thinking you'd need a custom ROM. I honestly don't know what's out there at the moment that would work for you.
I have tested MiXplorer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691) this evening with exFAT and was able to read and write data. To enable goto Settings/More Settings/Enable OTG.
This Works Great!

I like to use my phone to edit GoPro Videos. I had a Galaxy s5 that I would use an OTG cable to read the file off the micro sd card. I got the pixel xl and I was disappointed that I could not read the exFAT files. After reading this post and instaling MiXplorer it works perfectly. A big thanks to you for posting this, and another BIG Thanks to HootanParsa for creating MiXplorer.
EDIT>>>IGNORE THIS I GOT IT.
I just installed Mixplorer on my Pixel XL and have a USB-C flash drive formatted in exFat, turned on the OTG Driver but I can't get my flash drive to show up in Mixplorer. Am I missing something?

Rom won't recognize NTFS usb stick. Is there a fix?

So I've been trying different Android 13 roms bc I was looking for a specific feature. I finally found one that works, only to discover it can't recognize my 128gb, or any NTFS usb drive (recognizes fat32 no issues). I did a research but I only found work arounds through apps but this won't work bc I use the drive for Swift backup and restore. Is there a fix for this issue? Device is rooted.
thanks in advance

Like I said I don't just want to have access to the files. I want the OS itself to recognize it so it's accessible through all apps

It is by using the SAF (storage access framework/Documents UI).

you can't implement NTFS support that simple since VOLD manages your external file systems. It would be much easier not to take NTFS.

I know it used to be possible through magisk mod and custom kernel. I'm just not up to date. NTFS is a must for me. I'll keep looking hopefully I find something

You are going to flash a custom kernel to be able to use NTFS with a Magisk Module? Then trying to use a USB stick with NTFS (which could be an unstable connection) for saving your backup files created with Swift Backup? Sounds quite complicated.

No mate! I meant there was solutions back in the day to add ntfs fs through custom kernel and through Magisk mods, not together. Been using ntfs USB sticks for titanium/swift/nand backup and restore for 10 years never had an issue. I rarely save backups on internal storage
