Full NTFS Read Write support for Xperia 2011 devices!

Noob Friendly section

Warning: I will take no responsibility for data loss or corruption that may occur on NTFS drives, though ntfs-3g has been known to be safe.

Steps to get NTFS full read-write working:
1. Install attached .zip via recovery (or push the file )
2. Reboot
3. To mount OTG drives, use the script attached with "Script Manager" app (as root)
(Even NTFS microsd cards can be mounted with minor changes)
4. To unmount, just press "Unmount" in USB OTG helper

This will be built in USB OTG helper app soon!

Download
1. ntfs-3g-cwm-install_v2
2. Mount NTFS script (remove .txt)

Does it support all kernels/ROMs? :good:

I am using the package posted by DooMLoRD on Arc forum, does this one have any difference ?

Will ntfs-3g need recompile for kernels with custom version string ? (iirc it does not)

All based on Sony ICS Beta or ICS kernels

1. Where is that package? Any link? I do not know of that package
2. No need (it is compiled for linux-gnueabi ) Fuse may be specific for the kernel

Well thats the TC prefix.. so ntfs-3g is standalone, nice.

Fuse may be specific for the kernel

It actually is... seems like I'll have to do a modules package with it.

Maybe ntfs-3g is not mentioned in that thread.. That is why my search did not return anything

Anyway, this is the latest stable ntfs-3g (Jan 2012), but maybe DoomLorDs is also same.. ( if i had found earlier, it would have saved me some work )
