so i finally got this thing in WHITE since i have a white nex5 32gb, after like 1 hour i thought it was DOA, but i had to install these files

----- Filesystem support -----

The filesystems supported depends on your device firmware. On most devices, at least vfat/fat/fat32 and ext2/3/4 are supported. On the latest Android versions, ntfs is also supported in read-only mode. Some devices also support exfat out the box, but most do not.

StickMount can utilize the "ntfs-3g" and "mount.exfat-fuse" binaries to add support for ntfs (untested) and exfat, but these are not included. If you place the "ntfs-3g" or "mount.exfat-fuse" files in the root of your internal storage ( /sdcard ), StickMount will automatically use them.

You can find the needed files here:

128 gb micro sd card, will work on meenova?

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] volumnus:
I ordered one of these in orange.

It hasn't arrived yet, but I am doubtful it will work for my purposes.

I have a Galaxy Note 2 running CleanRom. I also have a Nexus 7 2013 running CleanRom.

With an OTG cable, I can read and write to flash drives in either fat32 or exfat without issue using my Note 2.

With an OTG cable, I can read and write to flash drives in fat32 without issue using my Nexus 7 2013.

However, I can neither read nor write to exfat flash drives using my Nexus 7 2013.

If I install the fuse binaries recommended on the Stick Mount website to the root of the internal storage card, I can use an OTG cable to read exfat cards, but I STILL CANNOT WRITE to them using ES Explorer.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cobyman7035:
does exFAT allow files bigger then 4gb?

FAT32 > i can read and write using meenova

NTFS > read only

eXFAT = read only, can't write

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] volumnus:
It's just okay...

I like how you rigged the cap with a tether to prevent losing it. I would like to design something like that myself. My orange card reader arrived a few days ago. I bought one of these cheap cases off ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-FOLDED-LU...d_Folios&var=640148947767&hash=item565df79fd7

The card reader matches almost perfectly, and I love this cheap case. I installed the fuse binaries on the stickmount app page to get it working with a 64gb sdxc card. My Nexus 7.2 will read but not write to the card, of course. I am probably going to sell my card reader and my card on ebay. I don't like how it sticks out of the bottom. I wish it went all the way across the bottom of the tablet instead, so it could rest more stably. It really gets in the way while reading or surfing the internet. It's definitely not designed to be left in the tablet. Also, it's driven by the OS, which means it's not accessible to TWRP. You can't use it to flash roms. On my Note 2 phone I have backups of various roms stored on my 64gb card, and I just flash whatever rom I'm in the mood to run.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Xaeons:
Thanks, I cannibalized the string from a lanyard I have lying around and used a ziptie and cut the excess to provide a kind of stopper coz the hole at the side of the cap is so big. Gonna have to think of another way to make a stopper though as I don't really like how the zip tie jangles inside, like sugru or clay or something..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] volumnus:
A small but wide little rubber band might work.

I had the thought immediately that the cap would get lost. I just sold a 128gb sandisk flash drive on ebay becuase the eyelet broke, and I could no longer carry it on my keychain.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] naturecannon:
Surprised your not keeping the Meenova MicroSD for the 32GB N7 just in case. At the cost of the Meenova MicroSD its like like you'll lose much if never used and it surely wont make your ebay sale much more valuable.

I have only had the 32 GB N7 for a few days and already down to 15GB. Storage Use will most likely slow down now but just sayin. Was thinking of grabbing a Meenova myself.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] jbh00jh:

Any luck getting the Nexus 7 (stock, rooted 4.4) to write to an NTFS-formatted card? I have the Stickmount binaries loaded, but can only read/stream from the card. My HTC One (stock, rooted 4.1.2) works fine.

You're awesome, thanks! I can't believe this isn't being answered in other places; I'm seeing so many people with this issue but nobody saying anything.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mdamaged:
Probably because people are often reticent in giving out suggestions which could leave a users device exposed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] subhumanderelict:
Ugh... Figures. In what way would it now be exposed? Would changing the value to "1" re-enable whatever it was that I disabled?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mdamaged:
Listing those would be beyond the scope of this forum. It should set itself back at reboot, or you can set it back manually. Not trying to dissuade anyone, it's your device, just answering your question of (perhaps) why noone posts the suggestion.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] subhumanderelict:
Ahh, I understand, I appreciate the heads-up! I figured I would ask what could be made vulnerable on the off-chance that it might not apply to me. I don't have a device that's connected to a cellular network nor do I do things like leave my Bluetooth on when I don't need it. I may connect to a public Wi-Fi network at some point in the future, but only if tethering isn't an option.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ObiDanKenobi:
I am glad I could help, i spent also some hours trying to find a way to make it work. Indeed SE Linux has to do with security so it is advisable to do "su"<enter>"setenforce 1"<enter> when you are done writing to the card. I did not had time, but I think I will fix this using Tasker so then I will not even remember that I have to do it.

Sony’s newest Micro USB flash drive is a “2-in-1” device

http://blog.sony.com/press/sonys-ne...nctionality-for-smartphone-and-tablets-users/

The new USB flash drives will be available January 2014 at Sony retail stores (www.store.sony.com) at the following prices:

8 GB (USM-8SA1/B) – $19.99

16 GB (USM-16SA1/B) – $29.99

32 GB (USM-32SA1/B) – $62.99

Did yours come with the string to hold the cap?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] hgoldner:
Saw that, and just got my meenova working on my brand new N7 with an 8g microsd card I had sitting around. With the price of 64g cards on sale near $30, the $62.99 price tag for the 32g unit is too high. It's still cheaper to buy a meenova or OTG cable and use the microsd card.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cobyman7035:
wow, gonna try this now!

confirmed this works, but do we have to do this ONE time or it has to be EVERY time we mount the usb?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Reignogleph MMXI:
Mine did not.

I'd have preferred a small case (with room for the USB adapter) to a key ring. I'm not in the habit of slinging 64GB mSDs around in the rain (and other such situations) as I might a ring of metal keys.

The blue data lights are pretty, but they're a tad distracting if the point is to use the Meenova for multimedia storage. That's a lot of flickering blue to place next to a tablet screen.

It might also have been nice if the cap snapped to the reverse side of the Meenova as it does the front -- so that it wasn't in danger of being lost -- but perhaps that's impossible because of the length of the case-friendly micro-USB.

Still, the Meenova is an excellent solution to multiple use issues. I've been playing with mine for days -- ever since I received it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cobyman7035:
its PITA to remove it sometimes from my nexus7fhd that meenova stick, the usb plug seems to get 'caught' and i really have to use some force :(

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] subhumanderelict:
Oh yeah, I've used that trick, but you need to re-apply today each time you restart the device. People also mentioned that it creates security issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ObiDanKenobi:
That's right, but taking in consideration that I do not write on the external drive so much, is ok. An ideea would be to create a Tasker profile that setenforces to 0 when USB is connected and setenforces to 1 when the connection is done.

First thing I did when I got my Nexus 7 (16gb) was to find an OTG cable, instead I found this USB flash drive + OTG on a popular chinese online retail store. Works great, albeit a bit slow, but it does the job :good:

This $3.99 app from the Play Store has to be the absolutely best app for owners of Nexus 5 phones and Nexus 7 tablets. It is a fully functional media player and upload/download app for pictures, music and video on the Meenova. For pictures, it shows thumbnails on the left and the last selected picture on the right. You can make the picture full screen and then swipe from photo to photo, just as if the album was on your device. For music, the app sorts for albums, artists and "all music."

It is not working at all? I have never tried mine without a card.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ferenc.hechler:
This thread is really, really long and a lot of people seem to have problems getting things to work.

Here is a simple alternative which does not need root access and works with the meenova reader and a SanDisk 64GB microSDXC without the need to reformat: Total Commander with the USB Stick Plugin:

[YOUTUBE]Nmpw4hQaOdU[/YOUTUBE]

For access with the new Storage Access Framwork (SAF), which was introduced with KitKat, there is another app: StickyCloud

[YOUTUBE]aGrsZUl8lSQ[/YOUTUBE]

StickyCloud allows access to the content of the sd card like a cloud drive.

But currently there are not many apps which support SAF.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TehFonz:
Trying to use one of these adapters with a 64GB MicroSD XC card but can only get the card mounted as Read Only.

Has anyone had this issue? I've formatted the card as NTFS and FAT32 and had the same issue with both formats.

There is obviously not tab to switch to enable write protection.

Any ideas before I send the card back as defective?

Cheers
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Pandae:
What app are you using to mount it, and are you rooted?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TehFonz:
I've tried:

StickMount

ParagonHFS+

Nexus Media Manager/Importer

and an array of others.

No problems mounting the card but cannot write to it.

Yes Rooted N7
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mdamaged:
Odd, it should work fine with FAT32, I assume you read and wrote to the card with success in windows with the USB adapter?

What ROM? What kernel?

Try stickmount and format the card as exfat and install these (if you did not already):

...as per stickmount's app page:

If none of that works, it could be some kind of defect, do you have a OTG cable where you can use a regular USB stick and test it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TehFonz:
Stock ROM - 4.4.2 - Not sure of the kernel, have not changed it as far as I know.

I installed this Kernel: ElementalX-N7-2.6 and now when I plug in the Meenova SD Card reader it doesn't light up :|

Never mind find the option in the setup to enable it again

Still unable to write to SD card with ElemntalX-N7 Kernel installed :(

OK!

So I formated for FAT32 and I was finally able to write to the SD Card.

Now just have to get NTFS working with StickMount & I have have files larger than 4GB on the card!

Did you properly install the files from:

They must be unzipped into your /sdcard directory.

...same with NTFS only you use these:

Copied those files to the /sdcard dir and still not able to write to the card. I formatted it to exFAT using windows 7 and when stickmount mounts the card it mounts sda1 and sda5. :/
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mdamaged:
Ahh, you need to open a terminal and do:

su

setenforce 0

This should solve the write issue.

There is also an app you can use to do it too.

It returns to 1 on reboot.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TehFonz:
Worked a charm. Much appreciated! Thanks for the help! :D now to test NTFS!

NTFS works! Woo! finally!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mdamaged:
No problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TehFonz:
One problem I have is taht it mounts sda1 and sda5, sda1 is still read only but I can write to sda5, however trying to copy over 10GB of data from the N7 internal SD it says there is not enough space on sda5. Have I partitioned the card wrong?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mdamaged:
Well, I formatted my meenovas sdcard and it mounts as only one partition, open it on your PC and go into disk manager, see if it lets you delete the extra partition...if it does, do a full format.

If it doesn't let you, restore the defaults (from within the format dialog) and do a full format (uncheck quick format).

If none of that works you may have to use another tool, like diskpart or gparted, or easeus partition master free edition (I never used this before so ymmv).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TehFonz:
Using easeus partiton master i still get the two partitions.

I'll give diskpart / gparted a go.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mdamaged:
If those fail, you can try using HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, it may fix the issue.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TehFonz:
When I format the SDcard as exFAT I am able to write to the sda5 folder but not the sda1 folder. However for some reason the sda5 folder does not seem to have enough space on it and I cannot paste 9GB of files.

When I plug in the sd card into my PC it says there is 62GB of space. I put a new txt file on the SD card and when I mounted the card (with Stick Mount) the txt file is in the sda5 folder. wtf?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mdamaged:
Well first try and see if toggling the type of mount windows does to the drive and reformatting it will help:

Insert the drive into the USB port, right click on it in Computer, select Properties, then click Hardware tab, find the drive in the list, click Properties button, clikc Change settings in General tab, click policies tab, and select the option that;'s not selected, click OK, etc, then unount and remove and reinsert the drive, reformat it as exfat, and see if it works.

If that does not work, we can try disk manager again, since windows sees it as a removable drive, it only shows 1 partition, you can try this tool:

http://www.wikihow.com/Partition-a-Thumb-Drive

And flip the removable bit, then you can use windows to 'see' and remove the partitions, and create only one partition using 100% of the space.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TehFonz:
OK, 1 step further.

I've been able to use EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition to manipulate the partitions and sizes. There was 1 NTFS partition when plugged into the computer. After I plugged it and mounted it with Stick Mount it only mounted sda1 and was writable. However trying to copy over 9GB of files again failed with not enough space. Am I doing something wrong? I now have SD card in the computer and copying over 32GB with no problems so far.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mdamaged:
Wow...hmm, the only thing I can think of is that it's using your device as a temporary place to copy the file to before actually copying it to the SD card, so if you had a 16GB nexus 7, and you have say 4GB left, it may be trying to copy that 9GB to a temporary place on your device before copying it over to the card.

I have no idea why it would need to do that, unless it's something to do with the file manager you are using, which btw, which one ARE you using?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TehFonz:
Good point! Never thought of that! You're probably right, maybe I need to do a cut & paste not copy & paste. Using ES File Explorer.

Seems a cut & paste works.

Awesome. So much trouble, thanks so much for your help mdamaged! Appreciate it

Hopefully I'm not back with this issue again!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mdamaged:
ESFE is decent, it was my first root manager, but I started to use Root explorer and found it's more reliable, maybe give it a go if you're open to it...you may or may not have the same issue, but maybe it's worth a shot...there is a free version (non root) by the same guy, the paid one has a 24 hour refund policy (his own, not through google)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TehFonz:
Far out. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. If I copy a movie to my internal SD card it's fine, if i copy that 1 movie to the external sd card it works fine, using ES File Explorer, Root Explorer & Folder Sync.

If I copy a bunch of movies from internal to external the movies become corrupt and won't play in MX Player or VLC. Tried copying with ES File Explorer, Root Explorer & Folder Sync. Same thing, they are all corrupt, no idea why!

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mdamaged:
Maybe bad sdcard...or one that is not quite compatible...dunno...it's late here now, will try with mine tomorrow, though mine is only 8 gigs.

EDIT: Copied a bunch of file to mine, and they all worked fine using mx player...but again, it's not a 64gig card, and it may not even be the same manufacturer. All I can say, is maybe try a diff manufacturer if you can RMA/return the one you have.

Just got my Meenova (took 10 days from China to Canada, which is very good IMO). The Meenova works great with my 32 GB SanDisk micro SD card (I use StickMount Pro). My Nexus 7 2013 is rooted, using stock 4.4.2 OS and Nova Launcher. However, the battery life is not as good when the Meenova is connected. Even on "idle", when the Meenova is connected, but the tablet is sleeping, with no screen, the battery drains a bitquicker. Is it normal? Anyone experienced that? Is it possible to get the same battery as when there is nothing connected to the port?

The caps keep falling off this thing. I put them on as securely as I can, and I keep losing them. Even if I only keep it in my pocket when I go to work (I wear loose fitting slacks to work) the cap just keeps falling off.

They sent me a replacement cap, and when I lost that they sent me three replacement caps. Nice guys, obviously.

After I lost the second cap, I now use tape to keep the things on. I don't use the drive much (seriously, I think I have only used it three or four times) so it doesn't really bother me that much.

The keyring wore out too, so now I have to find another one. Lol
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Pandae:
I'm reminded of an "Acura lemon" saga from the late 1990s. It was a doozy of constant, repetitive repairs until the guy had to resort to his state's lemon laws. One of the least things was a certain knob that kept falling off, and the dealership dutifully would put a new one on...and a new one...and a new one. After the first replacement, the axle should have been next, even if the knobs are cheaper than pulling things apart to get at the axle. Apparently nobody thought of a spot of glue, either.

The one you received probably doesn't have the little nib that the cap snaps onto. I'm surprised they didn't do a cross-exchange and send your original to their manufacturer for future reference. But they are indeed very nice guys.
