Rom won't recognize NTFS usb stick. Is there a fix?

[Aserar]

So I've been trying different Android 13 roms bc I was looking for a specific feature. I finally found one that works, only to discover it can't recognize my 128gb, or any NTFS usb drive (recognizes fat32 no issues). I did a research but I only found work arounds through apps but this won't work bc I use the drive for Swift backup and restore. Is there a fix for this issue? Device is rooted.

thanks in advance

Like I said I don't just want to have access to the files. I want the OS itself to recognize it so it's accessible through all apps

It is by using the SAF (storage access framework/Documents UI).

it doesnt work. I've tried it before I even post. I'm looking for a mod/driver etc on the operating system level, not through an app

you can't implement NTFS support that simple since VOLD manages your external file systems. It would be much easier not to take NTFS.

I know it used to be possible through magisk mod and custom kernel. I'm just not up to date. NTFS is a must for me. I'll keep looking hopefully I find something

You are going to flash a custom kernel to be able to use NTFS with a Magisk Module? Then trying to use a USB stick with NTFS (which could be an unstable connection) for saving your backup files created with Swift Backup? Sounds quite complicated.

No mate! I meant there was solutions back in the day to add ntfs fs through custom kernel and through Magisk mods, not together. Been using ntfs USB sticks for titanium/swift/nand backup and restore for 10 years never had an issue. I rarely save backups on internal storage

If you don't use it together then use "or".
