In the RC1 we are going to find the Kernel 3.0.8 with KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) activated. Many netbooks will be able to work with native resolution with this version. The equipments with AMD Radeon and chipsets Intel will be able to benefit from acceleration for OpenGL's hardware. The system simulates a card SDCard by means of internal storage and the external devices USB and SDCard is mounted in an automatic way on having been connected in the route/mnt/USB. Also it offers support for ISO hybrid images. Android-x86 4.0 RC1 he has an assistant of installation in way text and supports the systems of files ext2, ext3, ntfs and fat32. I you remember that there exist images optimized for diverse platforms (ASUS PC Eee, Lenovo, etc.), Iso 179mb
Forgive my translation
Has someone proved it?

Its going to replace an old PC I am using as a media centre
I plan to use XBMC and Netflix on these although I am aware there are some issues, I guess they will be ironed out in time.
I got a question about external hard disks.
If I have an external NTFS formatted 3tb hard drive full of movies.
I see that Paragon NTFS is available for android but not android 4.2 currently
I want to just plug the hdd directly into the host port and have XBMC see the stuffs, just like it does on my current PC setup.
Is it possible, Is anyone doing something similar?
I got two external drives connected to my newly purchased Minix Neo X7, a 320GB WD Portable Passport (1st gen) formatted with exFat, and a Cooler Master enclosure with a 400GB WD drive with NTFS, none of them show up in my android, all i get is a Safe to remove notification. Something tells me rooting will grant me extra options with a few apps available.

From the research I have done you certainly need root to use a NTFS 'reader' and maybe a specific kernel (see http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-hfs-android/index.html)
My TV Sticks are in transit so as soon as I have them I will of course work it out then post back a reply to my own question, assuming someone else does not answer it first.
I could just avoid all this and NAS my 3tb drive but thats an expense I would rather not incur.
Rooted the piece last night. Paragon mounted my poorly supported Cooler Master X Craft 360 straig away. For some reason exfat is not supported though, which is wierd cause both older paragon versions did and so should android 4.2 natievly, shouldnt it?
Yeah I heard exFat was supported too, its useful to know paragon worked.
still waiting for mine to arrive...

there are a couple of other tools that'll do the job as well like Chainfire's SitckMount http://goo.gl/T5TBTy
And for troubleshooting:
USB Host Controller http://goo.gl/fUq5ZS
DiskInfo http://goo.gl/qtgnOH
so far, no luck on exFAT , Paragon says "• exFAT evaluation mode - for OEMs only."
edit: Paragon app works in 4.2.2, dont know why it says it doesnt.
Hi
I have an USB Flash Drive Duo and i want to use it with an FM Transmitter in my car but that FM Transmitter doesn't recognize my flash drive .
I tried different formatting options (FAT32 / exFAT / NTFS in combination with different allocation unit sizes) but it still doesn't work. Could it be just because my flash drive has support for Android devices? (In fact i think that should be even more helpful for small devices like this...) Or does anyone knows how can i make it to work ?
How big is the flashdrive? Some devices can't read anything over 2GB. (My old mediaplayer used to do that.)
I have a "TX8" TV box running Android 6 Marshmallow with Amlogic S912 CPU and as media I have two hard drives enclosures Pro Mediasonic each holding 4 hard drives with media 2TB each with EXT4 format.
These media drives have been used with my old HTPC running linux and kodi and now I wish to use them with the new Android box but Android system does NOT recognize the drives. I purchased two apps/drivers that claim to recognize any format but does not work.
How I could successfully connect and use these hard drives?
Wrong forum. You need to find something directly related to Android TV boxen.
Hi! I have a T95Z Plus set-top box running Android 6.0. In addition to using it with my TV, I've plugged an external 1TB hard drive into it and I am using it a network storage device thanks to the SambaDroid app. This has worked so well that I've been considering upgrading to a larger drive.
But are there limits to the maximum addressable size of a storage device built into Android? I had an older device that could not access a 32GB memory stick, but later versions of the OS would.
Would it be possible to mount a 4GB drive? An 8GB drive?
Is there a theoretical maximum built into the OS?
Does Android 6 support GPT or just MBR?
Thanks for any light you can shine on this!
