cifs.ko for Amazon Fire? (CM 12.1, Root) - Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
anyone tried (sucessfully) to mount a NAS-Share on the Amazon Fire?
Im new to Folder Mounting on Android in General, but what i've learned so far (pls correct me if im wrong!) that your kernel needs to support cifs, witch is nowhere by default. So one could
- compile/patch the Kernel with cifs Components
- Use a functioning cifs.ko together with CifsManager
First one im definitly too dumb to do
Latter one i tried without success with several *.ko floating around. Maybe i found a work working, but didnt configure it properly?
So, anyone has a working solution for mounting a network folder?

At one time Nexus ROM included support for CIFS components; not sure if that functionality made it into build for this device. Kernel can not be patched with a locked bootloader so may be a nonstarter.

I should/might be able to build CIFS support as a kernel module. However last time I had it working due to changes in the upstream linux kernel CIFS Manager can no longer work. When I am up and running again I'll take a look.

Sounds really cool dude!
So, as the bootloader is locked, u wanna give the cifs manager a shot? Would be really awesome if its working!

- Good news overall
- I have compiled the required modules from the Amazon Fire Kernel sources
- Seems to be working in principle
- I can mount a network share via shell command prompt
- I can copy files to and from the share
- However I need to figure out how to let android apps see the mounted file systems
Edit:
- managed to setup a share using cifs manager [emoji3]
- Can now see the files now from a file manager
- Still needs some testing though

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.

I thought of that too. But since the DInc is a 'QSD' (1000Mhz Qualcomm Snapdragon) and the Desire HD and the Desire S are 'MSM' (Mobile Station) We can't use their ports to help us :/
Being that the DInc is a qsd8k (8650 to be exact) we'll need to keep an eye out for ports with the same processor.. Oh man I wish the old Desire could get a port of this, lol. We'd have no problem at all..

Well, we're at a standpoint of figuring out which files need to be added/edited from the One_v ramdisk so we can make a working kernel.

can you get a logcat or pm me a ROM link? I'd like to look. No guarantees of success. Sadly the sense devs that could figure it out I think have left the incredible.
Also a working ramdisk still doesn't mean the kernel is good. The kernel may need some changes.

I'd like to try tonight if I can. I'm hoping that an HWA enabled AOSP ICS kernel works with it.
I'm uploading now. Been busy all day.
I think the only way that an HWA enabled AOSP ICS kernel will work is if we figure out which parts of the ramdisk we'll need to add to it.
I have the Ramdisk extracted and uploaded on the OP if you need it.
Edit: Upload at 38% - I have a terrible connection speed for upload bandwith, which is at 49Kb/s..
Ahh! Excited..

I'm actually stabbing in the dark as much as you. Never messed much with roms. I'm more of a troubleshooter rather than a rom/kernel chef. I find tweaks and adapt for my kernels. But I noticed there's no init.inc.rc in that ramdisk. Other than that my mind's dead so I'll have to look tomorrow/this weekend.
I apologize for the delay in posting the port link. You'll have to forgive my internet. But, I assure you that the download is as fast as I can get it with my own server that I use.
EDIT: Port is on the next page --->
Just to make sure that everyone is on the same page - This port is NOT a working port.
It will flash to the DInc and it will install properly but it does not boot. And it is obvious why, lol, because we are still missing the piece to the puzzle to make a working kernel.
I hope that this will give you what you need to get this project I started the thrust in the right direction.
As for my method thus far, I am using the zImage from and AOSP ICS port with Ramdisk parts from the One_V.
Post Script - Today is my third year anniversary being apart of XDA. And I can only hope many more years to come.

[JB 4.1.1][ROW] Just managed to compile

Hello!
I've spend some days to compile JB for TPT ROW 32Gb. And there are the following results:
Works:
--Display. Interface is _very_ smooth
--Pen
--Automatic brightness
--External SD
--USB host
--Bluetooth
--WiFi (Partially: Signal strength indicator broken. Disable avoiding poor networks in advanced menu)
--GPS
--Internal sdcard
Doesn't work:
--Camera
--3G
--Sound
I also had to repack boot image to include configuration changes (init* files).
See attached logcat.
next step I will try to add proprietary source files for Wifi and camera and compile JB again.

Remember to always do a backup copy of your device images before flashing new ones.
Great work mate! I assume that if we want to test this later on our tablets, we need to be rooted?

This is amazing work! Thank you.
I see Lenovo finally released the ICS source code. Maybe this will help you get some other stuff working.
Also, how were you able to flash your build? Have you not upgraded to OTA3? I'm assuming you still have CWR working.
Thanks again.

can't wait, great work!
Great!
I thought I will be first
According to full_indigo device ID, it is AOSP, not CM? Wow..
I think together we could at last make 3G work as other hw are relatively easy to fix(may be not true for camera as sources again changed). I familiar with Qualcomm RIL framework and can't wait to see how it works with tablet and more opensource hardware module..

Lenovo released ICS open source code but they forgot to release new kernel sources. This prevents me from building bcmdhd driver instead of bcm4329. It looks like JB is oriented for NL80211 wireless interface and not WEXT.
this isnt for the K1 is it
It's for tpt only
When can we see this in a flashable version? Not to sound pushy, I know we have all see the development slow down.
Are there any other tricks we need to get this up and running? I flashed partition 7 and 8 using NVflash but my tablet is stuck in a boot loop at "lenovo"
EDIT: Is this incompatible with CWM recovery?

yes I also tried to get more info but for now no response. At last they released external folder of their custom build, which also contains alsa-audio, as I seen in cm9 device tree, it should fix audio with ease(maybe after patch as sources again changed in JB).

Some of existing software probably blocks normal startup. It is always advised to clean dalvik-cache and user data (backup first). It's up to you.

[DEV]Chroot-Linux on Xperia Devices Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders(Debian,Ubuntu,BT5up)

Hi,
I have just bought a new Xperia Pro and Here is My first Contribution.Hope you guys like it.
I have tested it personally on the Unoffical MIUI port for PRO.But it should work on other Kernels and Xperia Devices as well.
I am posting a few Screens for you guys and as you can see lxde is already pre-installed for you guys.
Feel Free to comment

What is chroot?
A chroot image is like a Virtual Machine where you are running an O.S within an O.S.The point of this is that you have a whole Linux System running on a phone where you can ofcourse access all the utilities available in Linux.and as it runs inside of android you dont need to flash anything and can use both the chrooted O.S and Android together.
Things required:-
1)Terminal
2)Root
3)Sdcard with atleast 2GB of free space
4)A Brain

Hi! Have you tried this on stock kernel? I believe stock kernel doesn't have loop devices enabled and MIUI is a rebase of CM? Not sure though that's why I'm asking.

The Miui i used was on Stock Kernel.The Kernel Does Support Loop devices.Miui is a Rebase of CM but the loop functionality is related to Kernel.So,Yes it Works on Stock Kernel on Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders Both as we are not flashing anything.
Anyway Give Ubuntu a go.

Thanks! Just clarifying things out I haven't meddled with stock kernel that much that's why I am asking. Well the kernel sources sony provided has loop devices disabled by default glad that it's enabled on the official precompiled one.
Anyways! Try packing backtrack that should be alot useful than debian w/ lxde or a classic ubuntu image.
I got backtrack to run on Pro sometime ago when I was still using gingerbread.

Those are packed and reduced sizes of debian & fedora arm images made to fit for chrooting on mobile devices. I made those for my previous device and is very stable already with 256mb RAM
the debian image is a squeeze version. Plus included is the fix for pulse audio. I'm not sure if it would work out of the box for android but with just a little bit knowledge with basic linux stuffs you could get it running perfectly

I do but not that much. Like I said I just only tried backtrack and obviously I use it only when needed
Say do you think it would be possible to include a custom kernel on a chrooted image? It would be cool if we have backtrack here with monitor mode enabled. I think the wlan drivers/hardware of Xperia devices have the capability.
Or also try posting this thread to some other Xperia Sub forums. Arc/Pro users seem to be not very open to these kind of works. They just care on custom ROMs
In short they aren't geeky enough They aren't even that interested in dual booting.

In theory yes its possible.but changes will have to be made to the arm kernel to chroot.when u type uname in terminal the output inside the chroot is different than the android kernel.but I think native booting will be better than chrooting..not being interested is just odd....its so much fun having linux on the go

A chroot image is like a Virtual Machine where you are running an O.S within an O.S.The point of this is that you have a whole Linux System running on a phone where you can ofcourse access all the utilities available in Linux.and as it runs inside of android you dont need to flash anything and can use both the chrooted O.S and Android together.check the Screenshots.
GO ahead:Try Ubuntu...it will give you a better Idea.

It would help a lot of people if you would put this description in the first post, or even a better description. Great work!

Actually I know I am going to say something Off-Topic
1) People on XDA are now the people who have got a smartphone just because they can afford one and wanna make their phone look "kewl" than the others with the same device
2) People do dumb things like cross flashing kernels.. They dont even read carefully what the OP says..
3) Running linux on a phone would be the best thing.. specially on an xperia pro where you get a harware keyboard..

[P905M LTE and P905][KERNEL] STOCK compiled with SELinux setenfoce command enabled

I am not responsible for any possible bad effects which may result from using included software! You flash it on your own risk!
Probably it will work in the P905 version, because I flashed the a P905 kernel in my P905M without problems. But, as usual, it is your risk.
User esgie confirmed that it works on SM-P905 too!
STOCK compiled with SELinux setenforce enabled
Kernel base: compiled from Samsung sources without modifications (opensource.samsung.com)
Kernel ramdisk: extracted from stock image
Features: setenforce command working
WARNING!
FLASHING THIS WILL TRIP KNOX AVOIDING YOUR WARRANTY!
Known issues
WiFi gets a little screwy. To fix it edit /system/build.prop, change the parameter ro.securestore.support from true to false and reboot.
Installation
flash using ODIN (AP/PDA)

Hi,
I just downloaded the file from this post and checked the sha1sum against the original file that I uploaded and it´s ok. The sha1sum value is b85360a80f6205269b75d9dfabccac211a224d46. So there is no file corruption problem.
Please check if your file has the same sha1sum.
Tonight I´ll flash this file again in my tablet and verify if it works. It´s highly improbable that I uploaded the wrong file, but I´ll check flashing it.
As soon as possible I´ll update here the result of this test.
Regards,
Rodrigo.
Awesome!
Flashed, seems to boot ok on SM-P905
Great job.
Seems to be working fine! Boots as permissive and setenforce 0/1 working fine.
Great job. Now we are waiting for at least some basic overclocking and governors implementation

Thank you very much for confirm that it works on SM-P905, I'll include this information on the first post.
If you find some WiFi issues don't forget to edit /system/build.prop, change the parameter ro.securestore.support from true to false and reboot.
Regards,
Rodrigo.
Already had the property changed in my build.prop, so i'm not exactly sure if the wifi works out of the box or not. Although I confirm that it DOES work with the build.prop modification
And by "does work" I meant both wifi and mobile radio working flawlessly.

Hi there, I tested here and the image is working fine here. The user esgie just confirmed that too, in a P905. Please check the sha1sum of your downloaded image file.

As we all can see, our devices lacks of community support.
I wonder if you are the first person on the planet who managed to prepare an environment and compile P905(x) kernel succesfuly
May I ask you if have any plans to proceed with the kernel developement?
Please integrate fauxsound

Unfortunately I don't have enough free time, so I don't have plans to work in kernel development. I did this because I was needing it to install some stuffs in my tablet and decided to share it here o XDA where I always found useful things.
If someone wants simple modifications and points some links explaining that I can try without problems.
And if someone have problems preparing an environment to compile the kernel, let me know, I'll be very happy to help.
Regards,
Rodrigo.

Well, i'm not the one who asked this nor I have ever heard about it, but by curiousity I googled this. Got link for this app at Google Play. There are github links in app description to patches that needs to be added to kernel to make this work.
Just can't see Note Pro in officially supported devices -list and don't know can this device even be supported. There reads "Unofficially Supporting: Any Phones using Qualcomm Audio Chip WCD93xx chipsets." But I don't know which chipset NP12.2 got.

Thanks, it seems simple if the audio chip is compatible. I'll try to include this in the kernel.
Thanks, Rodrigo for the great work!
Finally i was able to get Ubuntu running using linux complete installer.
Its a shame there's so little development for this great device.
I wish i had skills to do some.
Thanks, from Piracicaba-SP

Yes, one of my motivations to compile this kernel was to boot Linux images too.

I tried to compile the kernel with the patches sugested by the Fauxsound developer but, unfortunately, I have no success.
Probably it will be necessary more kernel modifications to compile it with the Fauxsound patches.

Hi,
I have a question about your kernel.
does it contains a root feature ?
I am running XXUANI1 firmware on P900 (wifi version), and have tried the auto root from Chainfire.
it does not work well (I think it was release for a previous firmware), and give a lot of random reboot.
I was thinking that may be I could flash a kernel accepting to work with su.bin
thanks for any information.
