I flashed the DMZ kernel and it doesnt support other sd card formats. This means I have to use the device with the sdcard in a ntfs format and its very troublesome to use. IS there a fix for this
Bump
Not until someone else develops a kernel. I have a friend working on it.

Im presently using Chainfires kernel and it doesn't support BLN (Backlight Notifications) out of the box, nor does it CWM module allow for it to save backups to the External SD card, but uses internal Storage instead.
So my question is:
Is it very hard to "simply" modify Chainfires kernel so that it does work with Backlight notifications, as well as modifying his CWM module so that it ONLY saves to the external SD. I want my backups on my SD card and not the internal NAND memory.
I have tried reaching out to him by requesting these 2 changes but so far has gone unheard so figured that if I really wanted something done, that I then "sadly" had to do it myself....
So can anyone shed some help or light on this please?
Does anyone know the answer?
I'd like to know the answer to this as well
To add bln you would need to build the kernel from source, once you do that it's not stock like, aka the point of cf root. Just chose a different kernel with bln built in.

I have a 64 GB SD card on my S4. Thankfully it is working with TWRP which now has support for exFAT.
Are there any custom kernels for the Vz S4 that support exFAT?
Since I don't have any files bigger than 4GB I may downgrade the file structure to FAT32 if that is the only way to use a custom kernel on my S4.

I'm interested in this as well...only one I'm aware of so far is by Ktoonsez, in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294083.
Here's what I got from the kernel dev, Ktoonsez:

Faux is still saying on his kernel thread says that he provide exFAT support due to Samsung's licensing of MS proprietary exFAT format, which hasn't been released as it isn't open source. How was that gotten around on this kernel? Thanks...
Reply from Ktoonsez: A developer named Talustus wrote one from scratch. It work for 90% of the people I would say, some cheapy SDcards seem to have trouble, Samsung cards will work 100% of the time. The exFAT card must be in the phone upon boot up and the exfat partition must be on partition 0 or 1 for my code to pick up on it. To get best chance of success, format the card using Windows 7 or 8 for exFAT, that will guarantee the whole card will be formatted to exFAT on partition 0

I've also asked on the Chronic kernel thread here:

Faux's kernel does not support exFAT.
Hi there,
Recently got a 64GB MicroSD card for my SGH-i777, at first, the phone didn recognize it, but i formatted it to FAT32 and now it "works"
The phone detects it, and seems to be able to access it and what not, but when I started dumping all my data, some of the files don work any more. This seems to be because of the 32GB limitation and cluster size of the FAT32 File System.
If the phone were able to support another File System like NTFS or exFat, it would work.
My phone is running stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2 rooted. Haven't had the need to use a ROM, but I've heard that there are some ROMs that give the phone exFat support...
If so, I would like to know which one I could flash to this phone.
P.D.
Using Ubuntu 12.04 with Heimdall
Hi there. So my problem is quite...extraordinary.
All I want is to use my 128 GB Micro SD card without errors. However, no matter what file system or configuration I used on it, it just won't work. First it won't allow me to write on it. Then it does but won't allow me to delete from it. Then I need to rescan the contents on it for apps to be able to see media. The card is in perfect condition and without flaws I assure you.
The file systems I tried so far are ext3, ext4, FAT32, NTFS, F2FS and VFAT. Tried multiple custom ROMs including Lineage, Pixel Experience and currently dotOS. It seems that file system support depends on the OS' kernel. I've given up on ext4 and F2FS thanks to the problems I mentioned before. So now I want to format my card as EXFAT. It has much better performance and compatibility than FAT32, NTFS or VFAT. Not to mention these three have significant performance change/spikes while writing and deleting. Only problem that not all kernels support EXFAT and so far neither custom ROM that I used had support built in its kernel. My latest developments is that I found a kernel out of 10 that does support EXFAT. It runs by the name Xenial. I just don't really like custom kernels so I want to avoid using them in the future if that's possible.
Any advice? Please.
Had this problem with Pie roms as well, but settled on Bootleggers, wasn't an issue with that. Have been playing around with the Q roms now, and am seeing it again with all but Havoc so far. Device is US998, and card is formatted ext4. With most of the roms, it says "card not supported" and gives me the option to format it. In addition to not feeling like shuffling around 64 gb of data, I'm not sure what format it will format it to (this is for media storage, not internal). Definitely don't want exFat, as I've had a bunch of problems in the past with the partition table getting corrupted and needing a windows box to fix (can't be done in linux). Was hoping there was a kernel fix for this. I've tried a couple without success...
Bump... Anyone?

Don't really have anything to add other than, I bother to shuffle the data if it's a rom I want to use. It seems many of the aosp based roms format it to 'fuse' of some kind. Don't think there's any other option but to use what's built into the rom.
cheers
There isn't enough info provided in the OP, so I have to ask: Is the rom designed to support ext4? Not all roms are... Android doesn't natively support it, from what I'm reading. You have to do something to add support for it (and/or you may still need to manually mount it via root). I also read that CM added this support to their releases...
Some info on how to mount manually, and other related questions: https://android.stackexchange.com/q...-system-for-microsd-cards-in-stock-or-non-lin
Either use ROMs that support Ext4 like Lineage OS and a few others or change your sd card to a different format
Also changing the kernel also affects ext4 compatibility
