[Q] cifs.ko for the Captivate

Hello all,
Forgive me if this has been asked/requested before. Is there a version of the cifs.ko module that is compiled for any of the current custom ROMs? I am looking for this file or would like to know how to compile it for a custom ROM. It is used to mount Windows SMB fie shares to our Captivate. I am currently using Cog's 2.2 Beta 9 ROM but it does not have the cifs.ko file.
Programs such as File Expert or Cifsmanager can handle the mounting once the cifs.ko file is present.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance for any advice or direction to solving this issue.

I think not only cifs.ko. For double bytes characters support, nls_utf8.ko is also a must. If anyone can compile based on froyo source, it'll be awesome.

agreed on the double byte char
agreed that second file is required but as a start the cifs.ko is required. Fingers crossed someone can assist us,

Wow! Dead subject I guess
I thought this would be provide some great functionality to our Captivates but I guess it's just the two of us who are interested in such features. The adventure was fun while it lasted.

peep this guys

I'm using Serendipity 5.12 with the Speedmod K13C kernel, and it definitely includes CIFS. There's an option in CWM to enable/disable it. I've been using it quite a bit with CIFSManager and Mount Manager.

Most newer Speedmod and Voodoo based kernels include support for CIFS natively. In fact, with Speedmod it's simply a tweak enabled via recovery. I don't use Voodoo, so I won't say for certain, but I think it's enabled by default in most of the newer builds.
Also, it's worth mentioning, that cifs.ko, and associated helpers tend to only work correctly on a specific build of Android. So taking the cifs.ko from an older 2.1 version of Android will probably NOT work on any of the newer JPX-range or JSX-range of ROMs.

Exactly. The kernel module (.ko file) needs to be compiled against the source of the rest of the kernel or it will not load. I highly doubt that you will find a CIFS or TUN (for OpenVPN) module that is compiled against a generic source (JPX, KB1, etc) just floating around here. All of the CIFS and TUN support that I've seen are built in to the kernels themselves. If you want these features it's as simple as flashing SuckerPunch, SpeedMod, Firebird 2, or any other kernel for the Captivate that has that support built in. I use Firebird 2 v0.8.
If you don't want to flash a kernel, you have another route. You need to figure out what kernel source you are running (the version, such as 2.6.32.9, will likely not be good enough - you'll need to know if it's JPX or KB1 or something else), find a Captivate kernel that is based on that version, and either download the kernel and extract the zImage file to get the modules or PM the author and they might be kind enough to give you just the modules that you are looking for. This route is way more work and not guaranteed to work, but Linux is all about choices and that is what makes it fu*king awesome.
Good luck!

[Q] Let's Golf 3

Does anyone know why the game "Let's Golf 3" won't work on the Bionic? It works on the Droid X and the Xoom, but not Bionic. Any ideas on why or how we can get it to work?

ive tried a few different roms and versions but I cant seem to get it to work. ive taken all the downloaded files off of my xoom which its running on and added them to my bionic (changed owner to root as well) and tried to run it but it seem that the program has a list of devices its compatible with. unless you can get the apk for it to put in eclipse and remove the part that check compatibility then your best bet would be to send a message to the dev and ask him to update the app. i know the bionic would have no problem running it, the app just wont allow it. sorry i couldnt be more help but what i did is about the extend of knowledge base on this.

Anyone gotten PDroid working on their Droid 3?

Has anyone had any luck patching a ROM using the PDroid auto-patcher for use on a Droid 3? I've tried Maverick as well as the .906 update ROM, and both of them boot loop before I can even get anything in the ddms system log...
For the record, I'm using safestrap to apply the patches, not Clockwork Recovery...would that make a difference?
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!
- The FSD
P.S. I would post this in the PDroid thread but the XDA forums have some ridiculous rule that new users need 10 posts just to post a reply in a "development forum" so I figured I'd try asking here..

well safestrap uses CWR so that shouldn't be an issue. I remember a discussion on another forum about the Pdroid stuff. I honestly don't remember anyone mentioning a successful attempt. (though I could be wrong) Maybe try googling it?

I've googled the heck out of it...haven't been able to find any mention of PDroid on a Droid 3 ROM, though...

[Q] real webtop replacement for ICS

Hi,
I am still running 2.3.6 because of I am enjoying webtop 2.0, however, I though upgrade to ICS is a must very soon, and I am looking for a "real" webtop.
webtop2sd cannot run on Droid 4, ubuntu using VNC... is there any options for Droid 4? I want a native ubuntu or other linux like webtop on my Droid 4.
I have google already but found it seem impossible? If anyone have any hints, please let me know.
Million thanks!

I run Ubuntu on mine from an IMG. It works just ducky for me. Does everything I want and then some.

What's wrong with the tablet mode in ICS - seems to work fine for me. Some apps even display differently when in that mode.
Cheers,

Looking for Hashcode CM9 NON KEXEC Rom

Looking for the latest version of Hash's CM9 NON KEXEC rom. I had been running this for a year with no trouble. Decided I wanted to play around again and updated to the new safestrap and loaded JB kexec and it's just not stable enough, sleep issues won't work for DD, and gingerbread sucks. Now I can't find my .zip file and don't see it posted anywhere. The non kexec ICS builds were solid, and the camera worked decent. I want to go back. Does anyone have it?

maybe this is useful for you?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465297

Nope. That is for the xt860. I know someone has hashcodes non kexec ics roms, if they could just send me a dropbox link or something it would be awesome. Right now I'm using steel droid ics but it seems to have more issues than the hashcode cm9 ics rom I ran for a year.

Actually that would work you would just have to use the 862 data files from Steel Droid probably.

Let's see if this can be helpful.
I was looking for a good ICS, with camera working, so let's give it a try.
I really need the camera, so that's why I didn't even tried the JB.
Thanks for the link, sm4rty!

you're in luck!
had to hook up the old dev box but found this file, enjoy!

Found this while I was cleaning up my SD card. Not sure if it's KEXEC or not. It wasn't labeled. I have a feeling it isn't.

EDIT: Installed it to make sure. It is non-KEXEC.
