PROTOCHIP,

This is exactly what happens with me too, I can access SDCard via Android and Windows. But I do not like having the SDcard logo with the question mark on it in the notification bar. Maybe I am simply too picky ;)

I did further tests because I had many issues when I use my SDCard with Windows. It seems that there is no unmount need at the SGN shutdown as my main trouble was to avoid issues with Windows, you need to detach the SDCard from Windows before unmounting USB from Android.

Therefore, we only need, from my point of view a proper SDCard mounting to avoid ugly logo in notification bar :)

By the way, QuickPick is now unable to access my pictures in SDCard, this is a shame as I am pretty sure it worked the first times I used it :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear The_Steph,

Thats what i am facing, too; We have to Safely Remove ( eject ) Sdcard from windows before we unmount from GNOTE otherwise, phone may lock or we have to reboot in order to use ntfs...

P.S. Regarding to my tests, for movie files ( mkv,avi,ts etc. ) BsPlayer lite and Dice Player Ads. are the best solutions for full hd with my class 4 32gb sdcard... MxMovie or moboplayer lags while playing full hd mkb movies...

Kind regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
PROTOCHIP,

I use MXMovie Player and have all my movies running perfect.

By the way, your files are not usable anymore as they are specifically compiled for Abyssnote 2.5 (string "vermagic=2.6.35.14-ver.2.5" in both fuse.ko and nfts.ko), maybe removing them would be a good idea as they could not be used on any other kernel and that version 2.8 and above are directly loading it...

After that, my aim would be to create a noob-proof CWM file with everything in it that permits every one using Abyssnote to enjoy NTFS read/writing :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear The-Steph,

Guide and file are updated... Thanks for the info...

Kind Regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
PROTOCHIP,

No problem :)

By the way, I was wondering if vermagic value could not be changed in files (using hex editor) to make this module work for other kernels. But this is for another test time, once all our problems are solved ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] trinev:
This is crazy... why would someone do all this with all its consecuences instead of using mkv tool nix ti divide mkv files larger than 4gb?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear trinev,

Since it takes time to prepare mkv... Also this is a way of satisfaction to use ntfs and big files...

Kind Regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] tommyhui:
Helo, i followed all the steps and try to enter the scripts and i get a problem with

"ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/block/mmcblk1p1': No such file or directory"

what can i do?:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear tommyhui,

Pls reboot and try steps again...

is the sdcard inserted to phone?

have u format sdcard to ntfs?

Kind regards.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] honf:
PROTOCHIP, update the title with the date of the latest update ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear honf,

It's done... :)

Kind regards.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] honf:
Lovely. Makes it easier to see if anything new has been added to the OP.

Need to test this with a 500GB usb drive :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
PROTOCHIP,

I just had an answer from RiverSource, he is saying that his kernel does also support NTFS. I will probably test it tomorrow and of course, I'll let you know, so you can update this thread again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear honf,

Be informed that, usb hdd must be externally powered since gnote cant supply enough power for usb hdd...

Kind regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear The_Steph,

Sure... Waiting for the results from u...

Kind regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
PROTOCHIP,

FM kernel (at least version 1.6) is having both fuse.ko and ntfs.ko, so your process is still valid. The only different point is that they are not automatically loaded when kernel starts, then have to be 'insmoded' that's it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear The_Steph,

Thanks for testing FM Kernel so AbyssNote Kernel seems to be the faster solution for NTFS for now but it is nice that both kernels supports NTFS...

Kind Regards,

I need help

I installed today rocket rom v17 (with abyss 3.0 kernel).

I did every steps from guide:

Extract zip and copy " ntfs-3g " to "/system/bin/"

There alredy was in "/lib/modules" fuse.ko and some ntfs.ko , and in "/system/lib/modules" fuse.ko

In terminal, I typed:

su

chmod 755 ntfs-3g

insmod /lib/modules/fuse.ko

ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usb

but, when I typed "chmod 755 ntfs-3g" , I had: "no such file or directory..."

(I tried to mount usb hdd formated in ntfs)

What did I do wrong????
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
sashamedovarski,

maybe because you need did not put ntfs-3g in the proper folder ("/system/bin") and/ or (depending if /system/bin is in the OS path) typed the complete path to the file (ie "chmod 755 /system/bin/ntfs-3g") ?

Please try and report.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sashamedovarski:
let somebody attach fuse.ko, please

let somebody attach fuse.ko, please
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
sashamedovarski,

Use a file explorer, check that in /lib/modules you have fuse.ko and let us know.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sashamedovarski:
Maybee I don't have right combination of rom and kernel?

The_Steph

I have some fuse.ko but , when I run that file in terminal, I receive : "insmod: can't open 'lib/modules/fuse.ko' "

Now I have stock LA1 rom with kernel "speedmod n7000".

Maybee I don't have right combination of rom and kernel?:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
sashamedovarski,

Two points, Speedmod n7000 does not support NTFS (I tested it personally). CheckROM creators have created a ROM with both this kernel and NTFS support but that's it.

You need to use AbyssNote or FM kernels to be able to use NTFS. And no one can provide you a usable fuse.ko as they are specifically compiled for kernels during the kernel compilation.

You have to move to a different kernel then.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sashamedovarski:
The_Steph

OK. Thanks for usefull informations. I will focus on abyss and fm kernels.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Techvir:
Has anyone tried an Ntfs formatted 64gb micro card ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
Yes, me! It is simply working perfect ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Techvir:
Good news. I think it's time to get one.

I don't know the relevance of speed tests but would love to see some numbers. Would u be able to

1: some speed tests.

2. Does it take long time doing scanning of card when chnages are done

3. Notice any kind of lags when using file explorer
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
drogpoos,

I have no issue doing some tests. Jest tell me which tool you want me to use to have consistent tests compared to the ones you have don on your actual SD card :)

Be advised that as for today, it is impossible to directly mount the card on windows using USB-SDHC adapters. The best I could find limited my SDXC to SDHC capacity (ie 32 GB).

Regarding your two other points, I don't see any additional (lag or scanning) time compared to my previous regular SDHC card (I am using Total Commander as file explorer).

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Techvir:
Forget about the test numbers. i believe in real life usage.

Thanks for the info
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ballfire:
hi i'm running rocket rom v17

the kernel version is 2.6.35.14-ver.3.1 , abyssnote@angelom-k5in #3

i installed script manager

i put the extracted zip into /system/bin

i ran script manager

-i clicked ntfs-3g in script manager.

-i've clicked fav, su, boot, is executable but when i click run i get:

/system/bin/ntfs-3g permission denied

when i click it as :is script and run. i get /system/bin/ntfs-3g 1: syntax error : word unexpected (expecting ")")

i've checked /lib/modules : i have fuse.ko

if i create a script in gscript lite and mount. i can access the microsd card.i dont quite understand how to automate this though. can someone explain ?

-if i then connect the note to the pc and connect USb storage, it never connects. how to fix this?

what am i doing wrong?

i have a 32gb samsung class 10 microsd .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
ballfire,

I currently do use AbyssNote 3.1 kernel so what I am saying is full proof!

As stated in first post, put ntfs-3g in /system/bin.

Create a .sh file with the following lines in it:

#!/system/bin/sh

ntfs-3g /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

Put it in /mnt/sdcard/gscript

Open GScript Lite, click on your Note menu button and click Add script. Choose the script you created. Launch it. Your NTFS formatted SDCard is accessible.

To avoid the Empy SDCard icon in the notification bar. Simply click "Parameters/Storage/ Mount SDCard". Thet's it you're set!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ballfire:
ok so i created the .sh file with those parameters

can access the microsd card with ntfs on the phone

but i dont understand what you mean by click parameters/storage mount sdcard to remove empty card icon ?? where do i click that ? addit: i think you meant /settings/storage mount ;)

another question, bear with me : how do i now access that microsd from a pc with the phone connected as usb mass storage.

when i click connect usb storage on the phone the icon just spins and the pc cannot access the internal phone storage nor the microsd. this is in usb development mode. when i untick it , i can access both the internal storage of the phone and the micro sd

reason i want to access the phone in usb mode, cos sometimes work computers don't allow any samsung drivers to install thus in mtp mode i cannot access what is on my phone on the pc. any way around that ? also copying files in mtp mode seems a lot slower than in usb debugging mode. copying 23gb back to the formatted card via usb mode on fat32 took about 25mins. now in mtp mode the computer says it will take 3hrs ! not cool
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear ballfire,

The_Steph means that, after running script just go to settings-storage and choose mount sdcard to get rid of the " blank sd " warning from notification bar.

No problem here for mount as usb mass storage mod to pc... Working good... Using LA3 based ChrisX. rom and Abyssnote v30 kernel. Try with a full wiped rom and both internal and external sdcards formatted or try or reinstall drivers in windows... Let us know if it is still a problem...

Kind Regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ballfire:
i edited my previous post. really? u can access internal and microsd in usb mode ? oh man i already did a full wipe when i was installing rocket v17. definitely not working in usb mode at the moment on rock v17 la1 abyss 3.1...

edit: strange i thought i would try usb mode again b4 flashing and strangely enough it works :confused: oh well if it works not complaining. thx
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:

Dear Friends,

UPDATE 21-JAN-2012

While trying to get rid of blank sd noti, after running vold command, noti has gone, surprisingly...

No more " Blank SDCARD " or " Blank Usb storage " in the notification bar.

Simply add " vold " command to end of script

...

After reboot "blank sd" noti will gone...

vold command remounts all storage...

Dont bother even settings-storage shows sdcard as unavailable since it is already mounted and recognized by the system...

Hope this helps.

@The_Steph

Now we have full automated NTFS system... Cheersss !!!

Kind regards...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:

Nice find, you made my day, it is just working perfect :D

I plan to create a CWM flashable file to automate everything. I'll do it on Monday I think.

I'll keep you posted.

Does anyone know of a music app that will work with an ntfs partition?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear Teflanzy,

Better to use free apps Gscript lite or script manager ads to create script file and run it... It is more easier than open terminal and run sh files everytime...

I assume that u mount usb to usbstorage...

ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/usbstorage

For gscript lite;

su

umount -l -f /mnt/sdcard/usbstorage

For script manager ads

umount -l -f /mnt/sdcard/usbstorage

Then select script file with script manager, select su and save then run file...

Let us know if the problem still exists and give us more details about ur steps...

Hope all these help...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear REAVER117,

You can use free apps like MyMusicOn or MixZing Basic to play music files which are in ntfs formatted sdcard... I prefer MyMusicOn...

Hope this helps...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
PROTOCHIP,

As promised, here is a CWM flashable file to automatically do everything.

Two points though:

- Autoroot will ask for root rights at first start, make sure you give it to them.

- Your vold trick remvoes correctly the SDCard icon but if I need to USB mount it, I am forced to properly mount my sdcard using the settings/storage option.

Anyway, please test it and let me know...

2- Format sdcard to ntfs in windows and plug it to phone.

did u mean sdcard is external memory? or internal memory? because when i saw in root explorer it said sdcard for internal memory and inside sdcard had external sd. so im confuse about sdcard that u mention.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear ryomakun,

Yes it is external memory... We cant use internal memory as ntfs also it makes no sense for internal memory... Just format your external sdcard and follow the steps pls...

You did 75% of the work, I just did created an automatic setup. It seems then normal to me to have your name first!!!!

Strange that it does not work after the first time. Did you check SU logs?

I am also thinking of adding a bit of information about compatible kernels in the CWM first lines once the issue you face fixed. What do you think?

Can somebody help me with this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
Caesarea038,

You mandatorily have a /system/bin folder on your Note it contains all system binaries (hence the name bin). Which file explorer do you use?

By the way, I created a CWM flashable file that automates all steps in the post 87. Try it and report.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Caesarea038:
I use Window Explorer. Next I wil try your last notice and will report.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:

Anyway, let me know for the script results...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Caesarea038:
I flashed the attached file via recovery mode, it installed correctly and reboot. I can't see my HDD via OTG anywhere. I checked storage via settings, but couldn't find the HDD. I reboot the Note while the HDD was coupled via OTG.

I don't know what I am doing wrong.

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

I finally put the attached file ntfs-3g in system/bin

After putting chmod 755 ntfs-3g I read "such file doesn't exist"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
Caesarea038 ,

You cannot see your HDD because the script that is launched in my CWM flashable file does not handle USB OTH mounting, that's it (at least for now) ;o)

To solve your issue, simply use a terminal client and type (once the usb external drive is connected to the Note USB port) the following command to the prompt:

ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usb
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Caesarea038:

Sorry for the noobish question but....

How to insert the ntfs-3g file into the /system/bin folder ???

I am rooted, I flashed AbyssNote kernel 3.5c but I am not able to copy the ntfs-3g library into system/bin nor with Astro file manager nor with Total Commander too....

Folder remains read only for me without possibility to write in it....

Which filemanager am I to use?

Help, please....

Edit.: I used the Root Explorer at last and I succeeded :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Surgical:
Well, another help needed...

I flashed Abyssnote kernel 3.5c, inserted ntfs-3g file into /system/bin/ folder, restarted SGN, plugged OTG cable with NTFS formatted flashdisk and then had the notification about empty storage with the possibility to format it. O.K.

Then I tried to run the script in Terminal Emulator

First line chmod 755 ntfs-3g did not work, no such file or directory.

Well, tried chmod 755 /system/bin/ntfs-3g....it works.

Second line insmod /lib/modules/fuse.ko failed (File exists)

Third line ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usb failed to access volume "dev/block/sda1": no such file or directory....

Vold remounted all volumes without my flasdisk but the notification about empty volume disapeared....

Simply I do not know what to do else :) Where is my mistake :)

Help pls pls pls :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
Surgical,

"insmod /lib/modules/fuse.ko failed (File exists)" means that module has already been loaded in memory

for the "ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usb" line, do you have an usb folder in /mnt???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Surgical:
in /mnt folder I have these folders:

.lfs

asec

obb

sdcard

secure

usb (empty)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
Surgical,

If you have the usb folder, the point I was thinking about is not valid. Hopefully PROTOCHIP can help you on that point as I am not doing any USB OTG mounting.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear surgical,

First of all create a folder named "usb" in mnt/sdcard/ not in mnt/ ( second way in the guide )

You are using AbyssNote Kernel so no need to enter insmod command.

now:

1- plug in the usb otg cable to phone.

2- plug usb flash to usb otb cable.

3- wait till media scanner finishes and u see blank usb in the noti. bar.

4- now enter

ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/usb

5- now ur usb flash must be recognized.

6- If it is a usb hdd then it must be externally powered otherwise system cant handle its power.

7- you can also use vold command optionally to get rid of warning in noti. bar.

Hope all these helps.

Kind Regards.
