Is it ok for wifi xoom and HC3.1 ? Can you say me, please ?I've been waiting for an app for so long !!
It would be amazing if you guys could optimize the app to work on xoom !!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
put it on the market than, throw in some adds
It works on xoom 3G version 3.1.
adb remount
adb push ntfs-3g /system/xbin
adb push umount_force /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/ntfs-3g /system/xbin/umount_forceI think I have a good kernel (110515Kernel Overclockathm1-c0-Fi) I see the sdcard when it is formatted in FAT32 but not NTFS format.
Sadly to make mounting a little easier I limited device detection to external drives (sd*). Sdcards don't follow the same naming style.
hellcat82 created the v1.2.apk for the purpose of eliminating all the steps... why do you need to do all those extra steps ??Well guys - IT WORKS !!!
I'm with 3.1 on wifi only version.
what I did :
1. downloaded the apk from HERE (NTFSMount1_2.apk 204.8 KB)
2. downloaded the ntfs-3g stuff from HERE
3. unziped the file (you could use the root explorer)
4. discarded all the files but ntfs-3g file
5. followed the instructions from the first page of this post :
you could probably use the root explorer by pasting the file to the system/xbin folder and changing permissions (click all of them)Code:adb remount adb push ntfs-3g /system/xbin adb push umount_force /system/xbin adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/ntfs-3g /system/xbin/umount_force
6. install the APK
7. connect any usb drive (I've tested with sandisc 16 gig key)
8. goto the NTFS Mount app
9. you should see your drive there
10. mount
11. enjoy
P.S : could see the mounted device via root explorer only (File Manager HD didn't see it...)
MANY THANKS TO THE CREATORS !!!
Thanks, exactly what I've been looking for. Installed v1.2, hooked up my 1TB NTFS external HDD and all works perfectly. You are a starhellcat82 created the v1.2.apk for the purpose of eliminating all the steps... why do you need to do all those extra steps ??

read what he said regarding the v1.2
I'm using a self powered (ie only powered via usb) 1TB external HDD and a purchased OTG cable. If your HDD's don't even start up then yeah it sounds like not enough power is getting through. Mine initially lit up and spun up, but showed as empty until I loaded the little app mentioned in my post above which mounted the NTFS drive.
Mine is one of the smallest but it is not recognized by the Xoom, while my thumb drive is, no problem. I think I will get the powered hub and see if it needs more juice.
What format is your hdd? If it's ntfs you need an app to mount it first. Try this one, it works for me
Thanks, I had downloaded it and tried to use it. The HD is ntfs and I think I still need the powered hub. I'm getting one today and will try again.
Yes, I've got the cable (Moto camera connection kit) and my thumb drive works fine.
I also used the 3rd one v1.2. I'm assuming the others are just earlier versions. With my USB OTG cable (not the Motorola camera connection kit) and the NTFS mount app (v1.2) all works fine.
not to be an idiot but you say " no need to push any file to android anymore." but then in step 2 you say to push files over. so does the APK work for xoom or do we still need to push over files. I might be over thinking here but I cant seem to get any usb storage to work but my mouse and keyboard are workingAll Thanks to Roebeet who has enabled usb hosting on xoom.
see the detail at here.
But it didn't support NTFS partition at this time, so i write this guide for ntfs supporting.
( hellcat82 has written a tool to simplify mounting NTFS drives, no need to push any file to android anymore. By just installing one apk, you will get everything. Let's give cheers to hellcat82! )
1.preparing
1.1 hardware
one microUSB male to USB-A female OTG cable.
one powered USB hub with USB-A male connector.
usb external harddisk.
1.2 software
Kernel: root your xoom and enable USB hosting mode by Roebeet‘s hack. or update kernel to Tiamat Xoom 1.1.6 which integrated Roebeet‘s hack.
NTFS supporting: NTFS-3g compiled by farazite , the newest version is on page 2 of that post.
Script Tool:gscript lite, downloadable from market.
2. push ntfs-3g supporting files to xoom
comment: ntfsvolume.apk is not compatible with xoom, so we can just use ntfs-3g and umount_force. at this moment, there is a bug in umount_force which can only dismount one partition, if we mount more than one ntfs partition, then we can not dismount all partitions totally.
3. Connecting Xoom,USB hub and USB diskCode:adb remount adb push ntfs-3g /system/xbin adb push umount_force /system/xbin adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/ntfs-3g /system/xbin/umount_force
4. Mounting USB disks
use gscript lite to mount disk(s), or you can test this script via adbwireless, because we have no room to connect xoom and PC now.
sda1 is the first partition of the first disk,Code:mount -o remount,rw / mkdir /mnt/ntfsdisk ln -s /mnt/ntfsdisk /ntfsdisk ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/ntfsdisk
sdb1 is the first partition of the second disk.
and so on.
if you want to mount the second disk, the reference script is
PS:if the partition of your disk is FAT16/32, then you needn't doing anything , it will be auto mounted by Roebeet's hack.Code:mkdir /mnt/ntfsdisk2 ln -s /mnt/ntfsdisk2 /ntfsdisk2 ntfs-3g /dev/block/sdb1 /mnt/ntfsdisk2
5. Dismounting USB disks
example:Code:umount_force /mnt/ntfsdisk
I mounted one USB flash disk(512MB), one 2.5 inch hard disk(120GB), one 3.5 inch hard disk(2TB)
the ntfs partition can be read and written without problem.
