Hey guys I just got a Nexus 9 and a Micro USB SD Card Adapter, and I was wondering what custom ROM gives us the function to combine the internal storage with a SD Card connected via USB OTG?

None. USB otg doesn't contain the right mount points or, anything really to make it adoptable storage like you can with a device which has an SD card slot.
Oh okay when ever I root my tablet would I still be able to move apps to my OTG SD Card? Or does that require adoptable storage?

you're only going to be able to use OTG for Media or file storage or playing movies that you have stored on it. You can't move apps to it or anything like that. OTG is not the same thing as having a built-in SD card slot.

Hi,
I'd like to know if there is any way of selecting mass storage mode only for external sd_card. When I conect to a PC or any other device, if I select mass storage mode, both internal and external storage connects, but I would like to connect only external one (the sd_card itself). Is that possible?
Just for the record, I'm using CM9 now, but I haven't found this option on any of the roms I've tested.
Thank you.
Just remove the sdcard from microSD slot and insert it to card reader ._.

I'm sorry, maybe I didn't explained it correctly... Of course, this is a way to access the sdcard, and I know there are some other solutions, but it's not what I was asking. I don't want to remove the battery cover each time I want to access the sdcard. I don't want to wear with me a card reader always...
There are some cases in which I'd like to use this feature. For example, my car stereo has an USB port. In case I connect the SGS2, both storage units connects to the stereo, but it only detects one of them, in this case, the first one (internal Storage). This has 2 problems, the first one is that I use the external sdcard for music storage, and the second one is that some applications that stores data in the internal sdcard stops working.
I know there are many other ways of doing things (using a usb drive, removing sdcard...) but I just wanted to know if selecting only external storage was possible.
Thank you.
I`m interested into this too...

I have a non-rooted all stock phone. With a 32 GB micro SD card in it.
Question: How can I transfer files > 4 GB to the card?
If I format the SD card to NTFS, will the phone recognise the card?
If not, ext, etx2,.. format? How? And will my stock phone recognise the card? Will my Windows PC recognise the card?

Just format your SD card in EXFAT format and you will be able to transfer files > than 4Gb to the card :good:

Thanks. Is it possible without an adapter? If I connect the phone to the PC, I am able to format the SD card but I do not have the option to choose the file system.

If you connect your phone in USB mass storage mode (not MTP) your cards will appear as removable drives with dedicated letters..
You have to activate the connection to PC and from there with Windows you can format your SD card as a normal drive and chose the format.
The phone shows 2 connection options: Media Device (MTP) and Camera (PTP). The SD card does not show up as a drive with either of them..

The procedure given is the one I use with my Galaxy S2 ... so far I didn't try with the Mega
I'll have to look how to put the phone in USB mass storage mode (if possible ?) .
The simplest way would be to put your SD card in an adapter and format it on the PC.

Yes you are right it seems that the USB mass storage mode has been taken out of the newest phones :crying:
I have found this application it might work for the Mega ...If you are routed you can give it a try.
Thanks. I'm not rooted so I'll do it with an adapter tomorrow.
Too bad if you are not routed .... as I have just tried the application and it works with the Mega :good::good:
Re:
Yea it worked from PC..
I formatted in exFAT and all's well.
I have a 2-in-1 USB OTG Card reader. I formatted my 16 GB strontium micro sd card with NTFS. But when I connect the card via USB OTG card reader, phone says "USB card is either blank or format not supported." But it works when formatted as FAT32. Does K900 support NTFS formatted internal storage and external (via OTG) storage. Has anyone tried connecting a portable HDD via USB OTG??
Can't Read NTFS USB...

Try formatting it FAT32, that'll take care of your problem.

You can use paragon ntfs&hfs. Get it from playstore. Root access needed. I always use it to access files from my 500Gb external HDD

Thanks for your reply. I have not rooted my phone, but it will be useful for my other phone. ... ... ... (I actually download a lot of torrents and I don't want to keep my PC running. I use "Flud" torrent app to download torrents, developed by a xda member.)
I have been looking for info and i don't even know right now if i can do this or how to do.
With Android 6.0 i read some info about formating an external OTG drive as internal storage. This is for example, to move apps to the drive, isn't it?
I have a pendrive OTG with microusb, and pluged into my nexus 9, but it's formated just for data. When i try to format from the tablet there is no more option that to format in the same way, just for data.
Theres is something wrong? something hidden? i'm just mistaken with this functionality?
Thank you in advance!

Not recommend for OTG pendrive and questionable for SD cards.
Hi, I bought this raspberry pi 3 model b and I heard that you need an external micro sd card to boot from. I do have a 32gb micro sdcard that is class 4 which is excellent for use in a raspberry. But, my pc does not have a port for micro sd cards and I wonder (because I used to transfer files via my phone to get it to the sdcard) if there is a way to make the phones sdcard show up as another device (external storage) on the pc. All my android devices have superuser acces if that is needed. If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me via pm or this thread.
Btw, I am not planning to buy a sdcard reader but if that is the only option I will do it.
