I'm after any advice or guides please. I want to change my 64gb sd card from exfat to ntfs, I am using directory bind and have a file over 4gb so fat32 is out of the question. If I back up my sd card to my laptop then format it ntfs can I then just restore it and use Paragon? or is it a bit more complicated than that. My main concern is making sure directory bind still works. As I said any advice or guides would be greatly appreciated

I'm not 100% sure ntfs works on the android but if it does then take the card out and put it in a card reader and format the card like a USB thumb drive. Google thumb drive ntfs formatting, there would be allot more guides on that.
I think paragon mounts ntfs on boot I just haven't tried it yet. There is a patch that works on aosp based roms but not tw for exfat on fat32 based kernels which is why I was thinking ntfs

I have paragon installed on my phone and I'm using a ntfs formated card, so I believe u won't face any issues.
From the middle of nowhere to the center of everywhere!!
Is paragon require any additional kernel? Is it work with CWM recovery?

can someone please let me know if the samsung galaxy 3 micro sd card can be formatted to something other than fat32 and if so what are the formats that are available and other question is if its dependent on the rom currently flashed to the device? thank u sorry if this has been answered before
I believe android requires fat32, but you can repartition the card to have an ext4 partition along with the normal fat32 partition. I've only seen that used for apps2sd use though.
I have a 64GB card in my phone that is formatted exFAT. It works fine except that it can not be seen be recovery. I also had to download an update for my old win xp machine to read the card.

i want to use this app:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550 but i see it dosent work on exfat and i dont know how to know if i have exfat or fat32 please help ..
I'm using directory bind (latest version) on exfat and it works fine for me. You can just put the card in your computer and go to its propertes, it will tell you which format it is on.
64GB micro sd cards usually come with exfat format out of the box. 32GB usually FAT32
i think most sdcards are fat32 by default--may be wrong--but you can research phone specs or Google sdcard specs for n2.
Not aware any card comes with exfat--if you are original owner it should be fat32
you can also use partition programs like gparted or sdformatter that should list the sdcard and say how it is formatted--
either way backup sdcard first and even phone

MohJee,
makes sense that some 64gb cards would come exfat--need to pay attn to that when I get phone
Fellow n7100 owners and Devs. I have a large 64GB NTFS formatted SD card, for various reasons I need to use NTFS and not FAT, FAT32 or ex_FAT.
For some time I have been happily using the Paragon NTFS mounting program to automatically mount my external SD card on /storage/sdcard1 and it has been working well. That is unit I upgraded to a ROM that uses Android 4.2.X!
The reason for this seems to be that Android 4.2 breaks Dalvik-apps that mount file systems to be shared with other apps. [email protected]!!! See the post below for more details.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106480
My questions is... Does anyone know of another way round this? I need my NTFS formatted card mounted as /storage/sdcard1 else it breaks a lot of other things for me.
Are there any 4.2.x roms that have been patched to cope with this change? My ROM of choice at the moment is JellyBam and I am currently stuck on version 4.1 because of this limitation. I could be persuaded to move to something else that would allow me to work around the issue.
Anyone????
Many thanks,
I downloaded & used a file called fat32format.exe on my 64 GB SD card. It was the only way I've found to use the card in my Note 2 GT-N7105 on a custom Rom.
I just purchased a new 64GB SanDisk SDSDQX-064G-A46A micro SDXC card from Newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171773
The card works fine in my S3 and in my PC, but it will not mount in my S4, not even from Clockwork Recovery. Both my S3 and S4 are running the stock ROM, but the S4 is rooted where the S3 isn't. I went to the local T-Mobile store and while they didn't have an S4 to test my new card in, they did have a Note 3 which mounted my new card just fine. Additionally the 32GB card that was in the Note 3 mounted just fine in my S4.
What is going on here?
Format the card to Fat32 on your PC and see if that works.

There is no option to format to FAT32, only exFAT. Additionally, from what I read here Windows cannot format FAT32 volumes lager than 32GB.
http://www.ntfs.com/exfat-comparison.htm
A bit more reading and it seems the kernel that removes the SetUID restriction causes issues with exFAT formatted cards. Thankfully the fix is easy, just needed to install this exFAT module from recovery. The entire process is described here.

Here is a free windows utility which will format any size sdcards using FAT32.
Give it a try. Here is the direct download link: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/download/fat32format.zip
Good luck!

There's plenty of software to format the 64gb card to Fat32. I'm running a 64gb card in Fat32 format right now.

shouldnt need to format to fat32 i have 2 diff sandisc 64g cards in tmobile s4's and they are exfat and work fine.. are you sure you are on stock kernel.. if you change it lots of kernels do not work for exfat.
I found guiformat made mine work. Same card and I was having issues, too.
We all know that since Microsoft's transition from CE Kernel to NT Kernel on Windows Phone 8, they started to support NTFS file system on C: while SD Card still doesn't have that support by default....
I was just wondering if we can enable NTFS support on Windows 10 Mobile? If we got NTFS, we can do some cool tricks like mklink D:\Android to C:\Data\.....................\Android on Windows 10 Mobile :3
So any ideas? :3

I don't think there's a open API (or even private) to format a partition.
The only way would be to change the way the system handle SD Card, to format to NTFS. And I think that would be VERY hard.
The easy way: Just format the SD Card on a computer.

I don't need formatting it to NTFS with my Phone, what I am looking for is NTFS support on SD Card, because it's a fact that C: on Windows Phone was using NTFS. If we got NTFS on sdcard, tricks like mklink will be possible (and darn helpful :3 XD ). Formatted my SD Card to NTFS earlier thou, when I plugged it back to my Lumia, it says it doesn't support the file system..... :/

You are correct. SD Card support on Windows 10 is only FAT32 and exFAT. No NTFS support for SD Card.
