Android and the 64 billion bytes question.

2013-10-09 Thread Ira Abramov
Now do you format a 64GB SDXC card to use with Android? the opinions on the web are all over the place. some say it's OK to keep ExFat (it came formatted) since it's pretty stable in FUSE and the Cyanogenmod supports it. others say one should partition it down to two 32GB parts of Fat32 for

Hi, The ExFAT was invented by Microsoft specifically for such a removable storage and support for flash cards with this sizes (it supports up to 64 ZB). Its fully supported under Android (Samsung wrote the kernel module, so there's a native support for it), and you can grab the kernel module from

Yes, there is, but just like with FAT, FAT32, NTFS, SMB etc - you won't see Microsoft chasing Ubuntu, CentOS or Red Hat for royalties. MS is asking royalties from the hardware vendors, not from you or your favorite distribution. BTW: Both Fedora and Ubuntu already support exfat. תודה, *חץ בן

Messaging system that works on older text phones, PCs, in addition to feature and smart phones

2013-10-09 Thread Steve G.
The question: Is there a messaging platform that is either open source or free (I know of Viber and WhatsApp), BUT which can work on PC's AND cheap phones (either feature phones, or text only phones) in addition to smart phones. I believe that Viber runs on some tablet, but not generally.

Like I said, ExFAT is not an issue with my desktop, only with my CWM recovery. it seems CyanogenMod have a CWM fused into their kernel, so if I try to install a newer CWM or TWRP, I still get the older CWM that won't support ExFAT. I also thought splitting the card into two 32G partitions could
