Hi,
I have rooted my phone a week back and flashed Cyanogen Mod 10.1 with JB 4.2.2 which is running great on my device. I was looking forward to buy a new 32 gb sd card. The problem is that currently when I download a torrent file that is more than 4 GB, the ttorrent app shows an error notifying that the limit of Fat32 is 4 GB only. I know that but while formatting with ntfs, the device is not able to recognize the card. Is there any solution for it?
You can format your external SD card with ext4 which does not have this limitation and CyanogenMod already supports ext4 formatted SD cards.

Cyanogenmod supports ext4 but what about stock 4.1.2?
I saw same utils for ext4 on /system so it will work on stock?

It will not work on stock. Because, it automatically formats the SD card, if recognizes that it's formatted with anything other than FAT32.

thanx for responses
I did not know that I had to change from mtpo to usb mass storage for formatting. I did it in NTFS and voila the phone is recognizing it. May be the cyanogen developers have added support for ntfs too
Yup, it seems

Put it in a card reader
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
Man ..
I put the sdcard in reader and formated.
The partition manager shows that the sdcard is in ext3 but the android or windows not able to read the sdcard.
-------------------------- EDIT----------------
I could read the sdcard with the module ntfs.ko
but I can not longer access the sdcard on my computer.(via usb)
I can not write / modify the sdcard (android)
just read the files.
Can someone let me know what they are using to check partitions on their removable sd cards. I have partitioned in the past using the 4ext recovery on my old G2 but now want to get rid of the ext,.....
also what format is best to use for the whole card? 4EXT / fatext or what?
Thanx all!!!!
Please help guys,.....
I thought this would have been can easy one for ppl to give suggestions on?
Also I don't have a separate card reader so need to be able to do it from the phone itself or by having it connected via usb.
Pleeeeeeaaaassssseeee help.

You will need to format the card on the phone itself..it will partition in FAT32 format..this is the format S3 used..you can try NTFS but only Siyah kernel will work with it AFAIK..
FAT32 is the format to use here,,
Thank Z.
So if I format through Cwm recovery it will also get rid of all partitions right?....... Data / swap / extdata?...... I don't actually remember how many partitions are on it.

Format it using the Format option present in Storage under settings..or connect it to a PC and format is as FAT32 ..all the partitions will be deleted and you will have a brand new FAT32 partitioned ExtSdcard.
Thanks again pal. Appreciated.

I know how to format a 64 gig card to fat32, but does anyone know how to convert a fat32 card back to exfat??
Now that TWRP supports exfat cards, I want to convert a 64 gig sandisk card from fat32 back to exfat but none of the formatting apps seem to have the option to go back to exfat??

Easeus was the first thing I tried, it doesn't have an option for exfat.
exfat doesn't play nice with android

Actually, now that TWRP works with exfat I find that exfat works perfectly fine with android.
I have a TON of bluy-ray movie rips that I like to store on my card and quite a few of them are over 4 gigs. FAT32 won't allow any file over 4 gigs, so I would have had to recode them all which I don't really feel like doing.
Although there is no advantage to this large a file if it will only be used in the phone (although this phone can handle them just fine), I use the phone as a source to hook to hi-def TVs etc.
Yeah, got my 64gig last week. Formatted as exfat, it has performed great, have the sd/internal swap from the beans rom and everything is working great.

I use directory bind atm. I'm running beans rom how hard is it to setup the sd swap in beans rom and also is there a link to the file to install sd swap without reinstalling rom?

Works perfectly on my phone. My card came pre-formatted as exFAT but I can also format it that way on my Mac.
Mine came as fat32 for some reason, despite being a 64gb card. I just recently switched to exfat after having to hit record 3 times to get a recording in its entirety. Stupid 4gb limit.
you guys really have files that are >4gb?

Hi guys i want to format my micro sd card 32GB class 10 from Gskill.
So the question is initially it had FAT32 as its file system format i think so should i stick to that or use one of the following EXFAT or EXT4 ?
What are the advantages and disadvantages if any? Thanks.
Exfat will stop it working on some custom roms (possibly all) completely.
Ext 4 will completely prevent windows seeing it, fat 32 is the completely universal format and should be fine unless you are using single files 4GB and over.

What format did you use? Dont use NFTS, but use FAT32. That one worked for me. Try a quick format (use a adapter or something else) and try again.
I used fat32 formatted it and still says blank sdcard or unsupported file

hi i've got same problem too with 16 GB and 64 GB
it's suck ...
Did you format in the phone???? Sometimes this makes a difference. Just back up your card to computer before reformatting in the phone.
