[Q] CIFS support in gingerbread kernel?

Hi guys, today tried access my pc shares by sgs, and it looks like my current kernel doesnt have cifs module (cf 3.2).
My question, is there any kernel for jvh with cifs support available? or can I add cifs module to current kernel, if yes how?

Try this kernel module: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12997697&postcount=123 (also linked in one of the first posts in chainfire's thread, IIRC).

thanks. it worked.

slow-work.ko + cifs.ko for JVZ (2.3.6)?
about five days ago, i flashed stock JVZ firmware to my SGS. so far, my experience has been excellent: smooooth(!!!), quicker browser, no battery drain, stable.
rooted it with CF root 4.3, works fine.
i just need new CIFS kernel modules - anyone know where to get compatible slow-work.ko and cifs.ko?
i am aware of this post/thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761414. they used to work on my previous JVP firmware, but none of the modules shown there can be loaded in JVZ. insmod slow-work.ko always returns "exec format error".
or, if anyone cares to explain to a non-developer (but a power-user) how to compile them myself...in plain ENGLISH please ;-)...i'll make some and post them here. sorry, all the threads i have found here so far regarding self-compiling kernel modules assume reasonable pre-requisite knowledge, which i dont have... :-(
thanks in advance!

Do you have any progress with the issue, damazta? I have same problem: slow-work.ko + cifs.ko for XWJVZ (2.3.6) on SGS. No compiled modules for the params.
thanks already.

Yes there is. I am using alliance rom's base release jw6 right now.
It is very close to stock samsung FW, runs super smooth, fast and stable AND includes a pre-compiled cifs.ko module, which works like a charm!
Highly recommended. Great forum over there with idiot-proof installation instructions. Go for it!

Request tun.ko for Lg Optimus 2X v20l

Hi everyone,
I need tun/tap driver to get openvpn working. I know some kernel/rom have that, like CM, neoblaze, djdroid etc. But I want to keep stock kernel with stock rom because I have tried every roms and the stock one satisfies me the best! But it only lacks tun driver !
Can somebody compile a tun.ko file working with the stock rom and kernel? Thank you.

I've tried and I don't think it's possible. tun.ko requires the kernel to export the symbol "outer_cache" which it does not. (only tegra kernel seems to be missing this as default...). It's an easy fix, but to use the generated module you would have to replace the kernel as well (to one that exports the required symbol)

Thank you for you answer.
I have tried to do that too and wasted 2 hours. I wonder if I do it right. I downloaded not the aosp kernel but the v20l kernel source from http://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensource-detail.jsp?detailCustomerModelCode=LGP990. I used this tutorial http://stevechui.blogspot.com/2011/10/compiling-kernel-modules-tunko-for.html. But the Lg sources doesn't include the tegra folder.
ergoen, you seem to say that you managed to create a tun.ko file with a slightly modified stock kernel ? That would be what I search for.

just flash spica HP kernel SR2 and if you want flash the PP7. it does support tun.ko and cifs.ko already tried. good luck if you want to try (in his kernel it's not module but it's on built in driver)
i use vpn to my office with vpnc connection and it good to go
here is the link if you want to download vpnc connection
Code:
http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/downloads/list
just download the vpnc connection.apk don't download anything else in there

Or try the Modaco custom kernel r26 with GR5. You can get a nearly stock phone with that.

I can build a kernel based on stock source with tun enabled and provide a cwm flashable.

It's not possible to keep stock kernel and just add the modules as if... You have to recompile the whole kernel and flash it... So why doing this as other kernel based in stock sources are available? Install SR2 kernel from spica and it will be perfect. A you perhaps... Know if you change only kernel it won't affect your /system, so you ROM will be stock like...
Don't waste time trying to make things that have already been made and working.

Because I tested other kernels and even if there are lots of improvement authors do, there are some bugs they introduce (ex: neoblaze => tethering not working, thanatos 4.2 => mybackuppro not working, cm7 => hdmi partialy working, djdroid => changements I don't like, etc) or changements I don't like. That's why I like the principle of using the stock rom/kernel as long as everything works.
I don't know about spica kernel, it's the only one I've not tried with swiftextreme. I will try it maybe later because restoring apps takes some time.

Flashing kernel doesn't touch /data you don't need to restore apps.
NeoBlaze seems not working with 20L. swiftextreme works only with CM7.

Hey there,
i've just built tun.ko vor v20l stock kernel.
Added a "struct outer_cache_fds outer_cache" in tun.c to replace a missing symbol in the stock kernel.
Greetings

Thank you so much tantalus! Although today I just installed Django with spica kernel (so with tun), that file should be usefull to other people!

Hi there.
How can I install this module?
I have the v20o stock kernel: will it work?
Thank you!

Check out speedmod kernel in the dev section.

Franco has disable tun/tap driver in his kernel. I don't know why. Although he has great kernel, I was forced to use speedmode kernel, where tun/tap working great.

now where is tun located ?????
did you downloaded tun.ko?????

Doesnt our note already have a tun module loaded by default? Its what tun.ko installer says. I've been using droid vpn since i got my note.

Hey @romzzp, did you ever manage to load tun.ko using the SpeedMod kernel? I have posted a more recent question but got no replies yet. Thanks for any info you could give.

[Q] How to enable zRam in UltimatumXY -b2- ROM

I like UltimatumXY -b2- ROM a lot. HALO and PIE features are really cool but I don't know how to setup zRam. Can anybody help me with that???
There is no options in settings>Performance like cyanogenmod and I've tried Terminal Emulator like so:
Code:
$ su
# zram enable
sh: zram: not found
#
Is there any other way to do it? Or is this feature not supported?

If it's not there, it's not supported
A custom kernel may fix this if you really want zram

Can you suggest some other kernel for Galaxy S I9000 which supports zRam? I tried searching but could not find any.

devil kernel have zram....it is awesome kernel...you can activate zram with devil tools app. and stock CM kernel also

I'll try devil kernel. But do you know how to get the CM kernel separately (not with ROM image as I want to use this xylon based ultimatumXY -b2- ROM)?

Only way is to extract it from cm zip and flash via odin. But,in my opinion, devil kernel is better,faster and very smooth. and you can find flashable zip here on xda in development section(last one is from 24/6/2013). In OP you have devil tool app also. I hope this helps

and if you like ultymatum rom and features....try carbon unofficial rom by aways,you will have halo,pie and even ribbons from aokp(i prefer ribbons over pie).also with devil kernel

I found that link and flashed latest devil's kernel. Till now everything is smooth and very responsive. Really fast and feature full kernel. Though I found Devil Kernel manager better than DevilTools apk given in the thread.

Yes it is,but sometimes after reboot settings return to default. That's why i prefer devil tools.

Is there any tool to check for the kernel capabilities Stock ROM.

Is there any way to know what file-systems are supported in the stock kernel? Is there any tool to check for the kernel capabilities? I am in Stock 5.1.1 (.222) kernel. I would like to shift to F2FS if it is supported by the Stock Kernel. Or maybe a loadable module can be developed.
I would love to have an app to list all the things supported in the kernel.
