which extern SD filesystems (apart from FAT32) are supported (to be automatically mounted by 'vold')?
exFAT ? F2FS ? others?

Are you talking about the removeable SD card or all the mount points on the device?

My research so far shows that WFS does not support any format except FAT32 on SD card and it does not support f2fs natively either for the internal filesystems. A kernel might be able to implement this, but I am not sure.

USB host is not implemented in the stock ROM either, but it works fine in TWRP recovery.

@ r25txe
I talk about removeable SD first partition in particular.
There are ROMs that implement F2FS. Of course the kernel needs to support it.
like http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...oject-t3129033 which is great
Of course recovery better be able to read/write it as well.

FAT32 is all I've seen implemented in WFS removeable SD thus far.

I've only used stock ROM.
