i had to restore my phone, non related to this mod... after restore, flashed this mod again and everything is fine with files . That was nice to see.
In restore process, cwm was not reading the card, but twrp had no problems with it

File Commander is not showing sd card. ES File Explorer working fine.

Can any body has working File Commander which shows sd card formatted with exFAT ?

testing 64GB SDXC cards and UHS speeds

Great news, i'm using a 64Gb formatted FAT32 ... gonna give it a try!

Hi I'm interested in if you are able to test some performance for us. Many of the 64GB cards out there are UHS-1 speed capable (up to 100MB or so) compared to the slow SD class 10 speeds (min 10MB or so)

I'm interested if the 64GB cards under the exFAT system perform any differently in copy speeds to or from PC and so on. basically - I want to tell if i shoudl spend the extra money on the UHS-1 speed cards or not.

thank you!

Awesome, Thanks to both of you.

Bought a Bought a SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSDXC Class 10 UHS-I 64GB.
After applying the exFAT mod I tested using A1 SD Bench:

53.18 Mb/s Read
27.11 Mb/s Write

I didn't test with FAT32, but the results should be similar to the ones here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2178138
Benchmarks aside, the USB copy speeds are usually around 10-15MB/s, so it's no high speed monster really.
I'm running rooted stock 10.1.A.1.350 with locked bootloader.

is it going to work on other devices like xperia play?

might not work.. the exFAT module may have to be recompiled to Xperia Play kernel sources... our Xperia Play is still on 2.6.32 kernel remember

It's not working for me. Is there a way to install it manually? By copying the file on the system folder?

Try this! It also should work with new busybox. I just used .tar (not .tar.gz) and translated bat-file :silly:

I noticed TWRP freezes while SD card is inserted in the phone. As soon as i click "install" option in TWRP, phone hangs... Backup and restore works normally. When i remove SD card , everythings fine . Anyone else have this problem with cards formated to exfat ?

not working with the newest firmware on the c6603...

Interesting. Maybe next time you post that something isn't working you could post
- What the 'newest version is'
- What isn't working

I believe that most of the people have it working on the 10.1.A..434, and I believe that to be the newest firmware. You probably haven't followed the guide correctly.

Assuming you got the following message.

sh: tar file not found

I got the same - it's not the exFAT MOD's fault but busybox's. Do the following:

• Update to latest Busybox. I chose 'Normal install'.
• Download m0b's translated exFAT MOD

And don't forget to thank m0b!

EDIT: Anyone get spontaneous SD card removes with this mod when Wifi is on?

The MOD changed init.qcom.wifi.sh by adding the following:

insmod /system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko
# Tuxera exFAT
insmod /system/lib/modules/texfat.ko

So the exFAT modules get loaded, however the same file also contains this text:

# This script will load and unload the wifi driver to put the wifi in
# in deep sleep mode so that there won't be voltage leakage.
# Loading/Unloading the driver only incase if the Wifi GUI is not going
# to Turn ON the Wifi. In the Script if the wlan driver status is
# ok(GUI loaded the driver) or loading(GUI is loading the driver) then
# the script won't do anything. Otherwise (GUI is not going to Turn On
# the Wifi) the script will load/unload the driver
# This script will get called after post bootup.

Considering that insmod is a really 'dumb' and un-robust command, as opposed to modprobe, I think this is causing sudden SDcard removes.
That or my SDcard is simply dying. Could anyone confirm?

EDIT2: Wifi off and no SDcard removes since, but I still need confirmation.

It actually works here on .434 firmware, unbranded, rooted, stock.
So far I have NOT seen any sd card unmounts. I used the exFAT mod from the first post.
