Compatible cifs.ko

Can some one compile or point me to a cifs.ko that is compatible with the incredible. The ones I can find do not seem to be. Thanks in advance.

Interesting
http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount.cifs Not that I can help but if anyone wanted a quick reference.

Alot of the roms for other phones have it but its not compatible with out kernel. Is there a guide how to compile kernels? I made a couple in linux that worked. long ago..

here ya go...what app are you using to browse CIFS shares? I haven't tested this module, but just compiled it now.

Forgive me as I haven't actually tried this, but here is the 10,000 foot view:
At a minimum, you will need a linux system, with a gcc-arm cross compiler set up. I believe the android-sdk provides one. The version used by current kernels is gcc-4.4.4.
Then you will need the sources of the kernel you are running. The hydra kernel git tree is here: http://github.com/ejhart/Hydra-kernels.git , and the stock kernel sources are here: http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/incrediblec_cc1c2268.tar.bz2
The hydra git tree doesn't seem to have a a working .config included, but this isn't so important if you are only building and installing kernel modules. From there, you'll need to configure the kernel in cross compiler mode, add the modules you want, and you will need to make sure the version magic string is identical to the kernel you are using. From there run make, and once the compile is finished, find the .ko 's you want, and push them to the /system/modules folder where you can insmod them.
Edit: You can use the .config from /proc/config.gz, didn't see it in there before.

I got one from another user but thanks do you still want me to try it? I mounted my share in a directory on the SDCARD so i can browse it with any file manager. I think any app that scans the sd card will also scan my server with about 8TB so that is a minor issue.

kernel compile guide
A guide for compiling kernels can be found here :
http://code.google.com/p/android-serialport-api/wiki/Htc
I not a techie and a newbie at any android development.
Since the guide is more or less a a set of instructions with no theory.
Got it to run, but not sure what I was doing.
Any assistance in provide either cifs.ko for the HTC Aria w/ kernel version :
liberty-2.6.29-21f066a6 or instructions on how to compile the module would be greatly
appreciated.
BTW - there an app on the store for automating the CIFS mount (CIFSManager

Note that the post you quote was from before the 2.2 OTA, and hence that cifs.ko would be incompatible with the current kernel.

[Q] Kernel with IPV6 support?

First of all a big thank to devs for giving us the possibility to have android on topaz.
I've tried last system.ext2 and kernel with camera support, I've downloaded google goggles but there's an error for ipv6 missing in kernel and it doesn't work.
So the question is: is it possible to add ipv6 to the kernel?

see if this works for you. this is what I use. it works like a charm. add this to system/lib/modules ipv6.ko
or mount
mount --bind /sdcard/ipv6.ko /system/lib/modules/ipv6.ko
and add modprobe ipv6 to your startup.txt
don't know if this going to work for you. but try it
good luck. thanks

Hi tiad8, tried it with mount but android doesn't work. I get errors on several processes and I can't get to home screen...

[Q] OpenVpn Dev tun.ko Support with Gingerbread CF-Root-Image

Hi XDA-Dev-Team,
first of all ... thanks for the great work to get Tab working with Gingerbread.
I wan´t to use openvpn with the CF-Root-Image from Chainfire but it looks like there is no dev tun.ko module ?! So Open-Vpn does not work !!
I have tried to build my own kernel with tun-support as module from the Stock-Kernel i have downloaded from opensource.samsung.com. But when i take this module to the Tab i get an error from insmod like this:
insmod: invalid module format
dmesg:
tun: exports duplicate symbol tun_get_socket (owned by kernel)
So is it possible to build a rootes-kernel with this tun.ko module included or is there a other trick to get this work ?
Thanks
Mario

[GT-P6800][3g]cifs.ko - module

Cifs.ko module for galaxy tab 7.7 for stock galaxy kernel.
EDIT - pinkowl has updated the cifs module with nls_utf8 support.
Please see use his updated download link from post 12.
cheers
Should allow mounting of windows/samba shares.
from terminal (connectbot, script etc)
$ insmod cifs.ko (where you saved cifs.ko path)
Please could you test. For me it is working. however a few issues:
but video players stutter but so far bs player lite works best me for media network streaming.
edit - is it down to poor wifi performance - however same files play fine over http streaming from nas!
so proper dev required to looked into performance issues.
Using cifs manager to mount share & es explorer free edition allows you to copy to root etc.

Awesome - worked perfectly with the root pack from this forum as well.
Now.... do you have tun.ko for this tab as well please?
Ive found a couple of versions - but they have not been compiled for this rom from the looks and do not load correctly.
Is the tun.ko file available at all yet?

Did another run with some optimisations:
Locked router to N mode instead of mixed
Discovered busybox cp poor performer, used /system/bin/cat instead
Tried kernel setting on
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_low_latency
Which definitely helps my ssh session, but not sure much impact on this test.

All files intact, I think your module is good, I think kernel tcp params or wireless may need tweaks as suspected in wireless problem thread.

thanks for sharing the cifs.ko module.
willl you be kind enough to teach me how to get my Windows 7 home premium hooked with cifs?
i tried and search the www and the closest solution i had is to view my shared folder using Ghostcommander with SMB plugin.
however, i cannot mount the share drive as a folder using either
cifsmanager or mount manager
i have tried to do regedit in my Win7 home premium since there is not "local security policy" program for this version of Win7.

Sorry for disturb
Plz, can anybody tell me what is this and how to use it?

i got an error when i add the iocharset=utf8 in the option at cifs manager, how can i make it use utf8?

I place this file in root directory of my sd card.
use terminal emulator program and type
insmod /mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko
but I got
insmod: init_module '/mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko' failed (Operation not permitted)
what should i do

The issues with video playback is not really with cifs, but with caching done by the players.
Typically, a player streaming over http expects a long delay and will use a larger buffer. Playing over cifs, the player will think it's locally stored and no buffer is necessary. That lack of buffer is causing the problems.

I have compiled the nls_utf8.ko module as well as recompilied the module cifs.ko for those of you that needs it. Files are attached in this post.
This is for the stock kernel from the LA2 firmware which I am using. If you are using the stock kernel from Samsung, this should work for you.
If this helps you, pls click on the "thanks" link.

Thanks for this module. I've known about cifs but never tried it before. Now I thought I'd give it a go and it's great. Had a few initial noob problems but now all OK. And using Cifs Manager makes mounting my NAS a breeze.
I can watch all my 720p video files stored on my NAS. Using BS player as suggested by ezynow.. Thanks ezynow!

Thank
Tested ,work well .

Nice one - i will update the main thread & creditation to you for this

Thanks a lot for these modules. I use them to access shares on my home network.
I found only one small problem accessing shares on my Windows 7 x64 host. If I use iocharset=utf8 as a parameter I can see the segmentation fault message when trying to mount a share from this host. Without iocharset parameter it works ok (apparently all unicode filenames are not shown correctly)
Exactly the same setup works fine with shares from my router and unicode filenames are displayed correctly.

Can you rebuild this for ICS, please?

You can't rebuild this until Samsung release the ICS source code used to compile the kernel. Hopefully they do so soon but I am not holding my breath.

New kernel released. Can anyone compile cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko?

[Q] Need Help With Wifi Tethering/Portable Hotspot [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
i need some help with wifi tethering/Portable Hotspot
right now i using CM7.2 GINGERBREAD V10 (ALFS kernel V7 ICS) with ALFS V7 ICS kernel.
As i read in the CM7.2 thread, i install Wifi Tether attach in post #2,
i start the wifi tether, and it say, "start with error, please check the log" or something like that
Please check the attachment for the log.
What did i do to solve this problem :
Start Fresh, Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, format system
install stock ROM + Kernel (E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_RU.ftf) using flash tool,
and Install NAA kernel 11 + MiniCM7-2.1.9 (As i read NAA + miniCM rom support Native GB hotspot) - The result is : when i start Portable Hotspot it start ok, connecting ok, but cannot browse the web, in the laptop it says "DNS ERROR"
So i flash again ALFS V7 ICS kernel over NAA and flash CM7.2 GINGERBREAD V10,
trying again with wifi tether and no luck
My Question :
1. What happen with my phone? is this something i do wrong when flashing?
2. Is it possible the carrier/operator blocking Tethering?
3. Is there someway to solve this problem?
Please note :
1. Before i was successful starting Portable Hotspot with NAA kernel, but because a2sd error i think i try to start fresh with NAA kernel + MiniCM rom, n thats when this problem occurs
2. I can connect to wifi or Adhoc wifi with no problem
Thanks Guys n sorry for the bad english

Looking at the two screenshots where you got errors reported it would seem as the wireless tether thingy doesn't find the required kernel modules, although they should be part of both kernels you mentioned - though I'm not sure if the "CM7.2 GINGERBREAD V10" ROM is compatible with Alfs.
I would ask in either Alfs' or nAa's thread about what may be wrong here; from my viewpoint it's missing modules that should be part of the kernel already.

hi... thanks for ur reply
can we check it? i mean for the module?
maybe we can look on a folder n check that the module is there or not?
for the CM7.2 GB V10 ROM, i think it only using ALFS Kernel (ALF V7 ICS), so it should be compatible.
i really like to post on the NAA and ALFS thread but as u can see, iam lack of post

Errr.... no, you won't find the modules as files - they should be compiled into the kernel (hence "part of it")
What you can try is to look into this thread, though that modules shouldn't be needed on Alfs or nAa, just on stock kernel.
However, if it works afterwards it might be worth trying.

i check n read the link above, n i think i just jump to
"You can use iptables executable now and check if works:" Part :
because like u say, this module should be part of the kernel, n if i flash the kernel right, the module should be there, dont u think.
so i try run the command via terminal :

the result are :

Only this one is different from the result expected
-----------------------------------------------------------------
so what do you think ? the module is there? n why is the last command result is different?

Well, the last output you got HAS to be different because "nf_conntrack" reads, fully spelled: Net Filter Connection Tracker
This means the nf_conntrack in /proc/net shows entries of connections currently established on your phone (outgoing and incoming).
It actually looks like as if the modules are in the kernel (as they should) - otherwise you would have gotten a error message from iptables.
Now don't ask me why the "tethering-update" ZIP from Alfs won't work or why nAa's tethering doesn't like you...

at least i know the module is there
just last question B.Jay, if it's ok with u,
1. is there a possibility something wrong with superuser?
thanks for ur help B.Jay

Don't think so, you were able to run "su" commands in the terminal.
Just check with some app that requires superuser rights ... like Titanium Backup or Root Explorer ... when they get su granted then Superuser should work.

Anyway i figure it out, it is my carrier/operator
i tried to change sim card from different operator n
the tethering works really good
i dont know what they do, but i cannot change proxy, i cannot change DNS, and i cannot use wifi tethering/portable hotspot
but at least the problem solved thanks to B.Jay for helping me

On mini+nAa wifi tether works really good
