Hopefully I'll get some time to work on tun.ko for openvpn or vpnc.
But if someone beats me to it, please post it here.

Downloading the source and pre-req's now. Will work on the tun.ko when I get back from dinner if no one else has it done.
Droid X source code! What!? Does this mean a bright future could be ahead for us?

Hi Drew,
Did you have any luck with tun.ko?
Thanks & all the best!
You can click in the bottom right of that that link and download all the files in one zip. SHADO_X3_1.13.5.10.zip is around 275MB.
I have unzipped that, then untarred all the individual archives.
According to the README, you need some files from source.android.com, but their link doesn't work, so that will take some more digging. (maybe I missed something...)
It appears to be the complete build process. I was just hoping to jump in and get a tun.ko modules compiled, but I still can't find the kernel config (I was just quickly looking around).
Anyway, bottom line is that I will have to get up to speed on the android build process, not just the cross compiled kernel process. This will take me some more time.
If anyone gets one before me, please post.
Thanks, Jeb
Anyone had any luck yet?

hmmm... I think that you should be able to compile the kernel with the default config options, but just enable the tun/tap module... I don't think that the module would really depend too heavily on any of the other config options?
I have compiled the module multiple times with multiple config files but none work. I get a exec failed error which is presumably because i compiled for the wrong architecture.
I have tried all the omap3 configs i found and the defconfig with no luck. I am away today but will look at it again tomorrow.

I'm no droid expert but it looks like according to the droid readme file you want ARM arch, but the compiler that youo should be using is arm-eabi-gcc (comes from the prebuilt tools from android) - in the Makefile set CROSS_COMPILE to /path/to/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- (or whatever the path to the file is on your build environment)
All the best,
Okay, after a bunch of hours I finally got it compiled
The 'exec format error' that you were probably seeing is not because it was compiled for the wrong architecture. I originally compiled the kernel modules with the default .config file that 'make menuconfig' generated.
When I tried to load it, I got the 'exec format error'. 'dmesg' showed:
<3>[46706.378570] tun: version magic '2.6.29 mod_unload modversions ARMv5 ' should be '2.6.29 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '
So, that gave me a big hint - after a few hours of customizing I finally got the .config file to a version that will properly compile and load the openvpn module.
I'm attaching the .config file (config.zip) and tun.ko file (tun.ko.zip)
*NOTE* - I have not tested the kernel module yet, so I have no idea if it works. Even if it does work, the .config file is the default one that I manipulated so that the tun module would compile. You probably don't want to use the .config file as it may not match all of the hardware and configs of the droid x. If someone has the actual droid x .config file used by motorola then that would be very helpful.
*update* - the attacked files *do not work*. The working version is available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7417520
Hmm... it looks like tun.ko does compile and install, but is not working properly
# lsmod
tun 11392 0 - Live 0xbf00c000
sec 4808 0 - Live 0xbf000000
# cat /dev/net/tun
/dev/net/tun: No such device
#
The response should be 'cat: /dev/net/tun: File descriptor in bad state'
If we only had the .config file from motorola this would be a lot easier.

I'll post on Motodev board for the running .config (they should have left it in the running kernel at /prog/config.gz ...)
Anyway, thanks trying -- could you post any tips on getting a dev env setup?
I've been using linux for years, but this is my first android setup.

I'm in the same boat as you - android newbie, linux veteran.
I started out by getting the whole android environment - http://source.android.com/source/download.html - and ran 'repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git' - all of that was just so I could get the prebuilt directory with the arm-eabi- files that will be used below.
Then I just downloaded the entire project from opensource.motorola.com - extracted it all, went into the kernel directory and hacked away at the .config file from there.
To compile the kernel I ran:
CROSS_COMPILE=/home/MY_USERNAME/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- make -j 4 kernel
CROSS_COMPILE=/home/MY_USERNAME/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- make modules
I spent a few hours with it - playing around with environment variables and modifying some Makefiles so I may have left out a small thing or two
It looks like running 'make mapphone_defconfig' created a functioning .config file and I used that to generate tun.ko.
I've posted the files at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7417520

i'm having a similar issue, how did you fix this ARMvX Version problem when compiling a module? Thanks in advance!
HTC released gingerbread via OTA but they did not support additional modules. This thread has flashable zips for both the leaked kernel and the one from the "OTA".
Added flashable modules to attachments that are flashable in recovery.
I have created a zip of some of the more useful modules for our device:
Code:
cpufreq_conservative.ko
cpufreq_smartass.ko (thanks Chad for the help here)
ext4.ko
jbd2.ko (necessary for me to load ext4)
tun.ko
perflock_disable.ko (I actually compiled this one a little different but confirmed it would load and not get the exec format error)
Update: Smartass is working now with assistance from chad in resolving those errors. Decided to not worry about interactive for now.
Further information:
If you don't use the CWM flashable zip you will need to load perflock_disable a special way as it needs to be called with a special parameter to make it work correctly. Try adding below to a script. Credit to Calkulin for the script.
Code:
if [ -e /system/lib/modules/perflock_disable.ko ]; then
insmod /system/lib/modules/perflock_disable.ko
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Perflock DISABLED"
else
addr=`awk '$3 == "perflock_notifier_call" { print "0x"$1; }' /proc/kallsyms`
if [ -n "$addr" ]; then
insmod /system/lib/modules/perflock_disable.ko "perflock_notifier_call_addr=$addr"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Perflock DISABLED"
else
echo "ERROR!!! Perflock could NOT be DISABLED"
fi
fi

Calkulin for the module load script
anyone else who inspired me (apologize if I forgot)
I have attached a zip file to this. If you are not a dev you can still use the modules here but some basic ADB/terminal knowledge would be needed. The modules are open for testing though.
Attached zip files and CWM-flashable zip files for both OTA and leak-based ROMs.
inc_modules.zip - Just the loadable modules.
inc_modules_ota.zip - just the loadable modules - OTA-based ROMS (August leak)
inc_modules_ota_091811.zip - just the loadable modules - OTA-based ROMS (actual OTA from September)
inc_modules_CWM_flashable.zip - flashable zip that will also autoload modules at boot.
inc_modules_ota_CWM_flashable.zip - flashable zip that will also autoload modules at boot - OTA-based ROMS (August leak)
inc_modules_ota_091811_CWM_flashable.zip - flashable zip that will also autoload modules at boot - OTA-based ROMS (Actual OTA from September)
I'm glad some one took this up I had been wondering the same thing since HTC opened the dev section. I had found another site that had a more extensive write up on how to build kernels but I'm not very fluent in linux and was a little intimidated at trying. At least I now know that it can be done. Maybe we can get Chad to try and port it over?
Awesome. A ray of hope.
Good job Tiny! I know someone was just asking for a tun.ko module and now I can't remember who it was. Hopefully they see your post.

I actually got them to build but they won't load still. I will play around with it more.
This is awesome. I was hoping for a tun.ko module! Now, do I just grab these and drop then in system/lib/modules and they should just work? Or are there steps I need to take to make them work? (I am honestly only concerned with the tun.ko)
oh wow this is incredible great job tiny!!! and the reason you probably cant get those other governors to work is because htc released an uncomplete source

Just drop in the ones you want and run insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko for tun.ko. You will have to do it at boot each time or get the dev to write an init.d script to load it.

Joel,
No, just one script should work. I believe Synergy ROM already has the init.d script for some of them. See 00cpufreq_modules in /system/etc/init.d
All,

The first line should be:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
and it needs to have execute permissions or it won't execute. Also make sure to save it in UNIX format. I would also add the smartass module as it is quite popular. To test type lsmod from adb or terminal after boot. Hope this helps.

Then just make a line for each module.

Though to be safe and to make sure you are running that particular insmod command you can leave it the way you have it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hey all. So I was looking at this cpu frequency governor for the razr:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367255
I was wondering how I could get this working on our devices, so, just for curiosity's sake, I copied it to the phone and ran insmod on it. It did a quick cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors and found the new governor listed, so I opened up SetCPU and set it as the governor. cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor told me, however, that I was still on mot_hotplug, so I switched to ondemand and then back to the eprj governor... still told me I'm on ondemand.
I figure that the razr's and droid 3's kernel modules are not binary-compatible, so I'm gonna need to recompile the module. How do I go about doing this?
Thanks.

loop devices are already supported. If your using linux installer from the market just ignore the warinngs. To manully mount a loop device.
Code:
# mount loop.img directory
If for some reason that doesn't work use losetup.
Code:
# losetup /dev/block/loop7 loop.img
# mount -t auto /dev/block/loop7 directory

But there is so many complexity ViPER4Android couldn't go further through, so I wish "ViPER-FX" could be a project to let our beloved ViPER4Android step in advance. Original V4A details at ViPER4Android Official forum.
Modifications:
+ Based on ViPER4Android v2.5.0.5
+ New Material UI and Icon
+ App rotation enabled.
+ Default install as system app to prevent task kill.
in MIUI or some rom could be installed as user-app
for IRS compatibility [Experimental]
+ The zip edition includes apk.
Recommendation:
* Magisk Manager, Framework installed.
* Android 5.0+
* To update from ViPER-FX v4.0 (v4.0 only) first remove it.
How to install?
* Flash the zip using Magisk Manager or Custome recovery.

@metaspook
Can you delete V4A app inside "\system\priv-app\ViPERFX" in next release? Because if V4A app installed inside /system/ there will be no sound improvement by IRS. Tested on my device running MIUI rom, dunno on other rom.
I use sepaker & many times change the IRS, but no sound improvement.

Do u'v installed Magisk n flash the zip through it?
B'cz this is a whole new way to dealing with system.
If u did but after that also don't work let me know.

Yes bro, i already used magisk long time ago.
Recently compared with V4A original (installed as user app /data/app/) & V4A module by topjohnwu, my device can read IRS and has sound improvement.
I don't know this issue is MIUI related or not, but I always get that issue if V4A app installed as system app (/system/app or /system/priv-app).

OK I'll release next update separately..
I can't tell whether or how this differs from the existing V4A module offered by topjohnwu.
Cool. I'd like to try this out. I just had some questions:
1. What do these commands do:
Code:
/data/magisk/sepolicy-inject --live -s mediaserver -t mediaserver_tmpfs -c file -p read,write,execute
/data/magisk/sepolicy-inject --live -s audioserver -t audioserver_tmpfs -c file -p read,write,execute
2. Why are the following folders blank?
Code:
system/etc
system/lib/soundfx
system/vendor/etc

1. It helps to keep Viper FX alive in SELinux enforcement.
2. Into these directories necessary files will be extracted or pulled from original /system.
Thanks to wanna know. :good:

Oh. I didn't think to check in the update-binary. It feels like this is a complicated script for sure:
Code:
# Push files
unzip -oq $ZIP "system/*" -d $MODPATH
unzip -pq $MODPATH/system/priv-app/ViPERFX/ViPERFX.apk assets/libv4a_fx_jb_$DRVARCH.so > $MODPATH/system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so
ui_print "[OK] Pushing files."
# Config files modification.
for X in /system/etc/audio_effects.conf /system/etc/htc_audio_effects.conf /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf; do
cp -af $X $MODPATH$X
sed -i '/v4a_fx {/,/}/d' $MODPATH$X
sed -i '/v4a_standard_fx {/,/}/d' $MODPATH$X
sed -i 's/^libraries {/libraries {\n v4a_fx {\n path \/system\/lib\/soundfx\/libv4a_fx_ics.so\n }/g' $MODPATH$X
sed -i 's/^effects {/effects {\n v4a_standard_fx {\n library v4a_fx\n uuid 41d3c987-e6cf-11e3-a88a-11aba5d5c51b\n }/g' $MODPATH$X
done; ui_print "[OK] Config modification."
Does this mean that if I uninstall this mod, Viper is completely uninstalled without any changes present in my entire device? If so, it's a pretty good implementation.
Nice! Works just fine on my Nexus 6. Will this be submitted to the Magisk repo? Would be useful to have it in the manager...

1. The code I wrote looks a bit complicated but its for to reduce the size of the module (you can see I didn't packed the driver separately, codes are extracts those from the apk) and for more task will be done in less lines.
2. Yes.. obviously that's why using Magisk framework is so useful. It wont change anything in /system while installing nor in uninstalling your /system would be intact.

Actually I pushing the apk into the system cause if Viper install as user app in data, 3rd party or internal app killer kill it and Viper looses to output the effect even also when remove from recent list. but I have an idea if its just happens with your MIUI rom... can you give me your ROM's 'build.prop" file ???
Is not working for me, IS activated on Magisk Modules Install,
But V4A say "Install/Update now?", Samsung S5 G900m, Is rooted using SuperSU 2.79, Latest Magisk Manager/Installer,
I Installed this V4A why magisk "Refuses" to open Modules download page "No Modules Found", And i have to download manually from internet. (SafetyNet says RED, Root and Magisk is green in Magisk Manager)
V4A is installed as System App, And SELINUX is Permissive,
I Try to change V4A to user APP, But not working;

Yes you're right. But on MIUI (especially MIUI 8 on my device) i can control it. We can lock app into taskbar and turn off MIUI optimization for selected app by turn off background restriction. Those will prevent MIUI kill running app.
build.prop file attached. :good:

This is pretty good. I installed this and it's working great. Just a quick question, I don't suppose it can work on phone calls as well? I was looking to get my bluetooth volume increased.
