[Q] CIFSManager - Need a kernel module? - G Tablet General

Hello all,
I Have a Viewsonic G Tablet with TNT Lite 3.1.0
I want to run CIFSManager to mount a shared windows drive.
Problem is, according to the App develloper here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756158
I do not have the proper Cifs support (cifs.ko) and also have a bug in my ROM Launcher.
The laucher bug is easily bypassed by launching CIFSManager trough the market.
But for the proper kernel module ( cifs.ko ), I'm a not familiar enough to find it. I found this module, but compiled for other devices/kernel, and I am unsure if this could work.
So....
- Do someone knows where to find the CIFS module for TNT Lite?
- Is there an other way to mount a windows share?
and/or
- Is there another firmware mod that has cifs kernel support built in?
Thanks!

There is actually a CIFS module in TnT Lite 3.1.4, but it's useless without a customized kernel.
If you really want OOTB CIFS support, you can use the VEGAn build, beta 5.1. Or, there are customized kernels that will work with TnT Lite.

Thanks Roebeet!
Confirmed: CIFSManager plain works in Vegan.

[Q] Compile tun.ko for ME511

Hi folks!
My intention is to get openvpn working: I'm relatively new to Android and I'm trying to convince my ME511 on a one-click rooted 2.6.29-omap1 kernel with Android 2.1-update1 to load the tun.ko extension.
I think I need a newer build due the device is relatively new, too.
Builds I googled throughout the internet don't load with insmod. Nor do I have modprobe... so there's no tun support by default and I need to solve that as the last missing problem to get openvpn working.
Could someone give a short walkthrough on how this is done? For the Droid 2 and Droid X devices people have working builds.
Thanks for answers,
Marius

Seeking CIFS Module for Kernel 2.6.32.15-g59b9e50

Has anyone built the cifs.ko module for the 2.6.32.15-g59b9e50 kernel? I did some digging around here, found some copies, but they seem to be different versions and aren't loading.
If I should be using a different kernel, please recommend one... I am using OMJ's ROM.
I found instructions for building a kernel, but the kernel source code on HTC's Developer site is for 2.6.32.15-g746f4f0. Is this newer than g59b9e50?
Long story short, I'm trying to get CIFS working...
Thanks!

OpenVPN - tun.ko Module for the GB leak

Now when we got the new GB leak finally on our devices, I wonder if anyone was able to find compatible tun.ko module for the new kernel so we can use programs like OpenVPN/VPNC
I tried the old tun.ko module and one compiled for Moto Atrix (but I am not sure 2.2 or 2.3 Atrix) and they did not work (module fails to load).
I know we don't have the kernel source yet (as it is not even official), but I wonder if we can use similar device sources which were released (D3?) to compile a working module.

[MODULE] [EYG] Cifs.ko for Evil Yummy Gumdrop Kernel

Hi everyone, I have been wrangling with this for several days now. Despite some oddities and a syntax error in the kernel source code, I have successfully compiled a working cifs kernel module for the V10. As far as I know this module can only be used with livlogik's kernel, but it does not matter whether or not you are on LP or MM. Unfortunately, I do not think I can compile one for the stock kernel, as android kernels typically require modules to be signed, and I haven't been able to find signing keys for LG's kernels (if you have them let me know and I will try).
All credits go to livlogik for the kernel, give him a "Thanks" :victory:
Enjoy!
(Mods feel free to move this to dev section if you feel it is necessary)

Need help with building kernel (ath9k)

Hi Lads,
Past few days im trying to add the ath9k module to a kernel.
I took the emotion kernel but when i started to make the kernel i constantly receiving errors.
I googled till my eyes burned out of my skull but got no solution. Probably im doing something wrong
Im looking for someone who can build the kernel easily including the ath9k driver.
My purpose is to use Kali Nethunter with the TP-Link WL722N adapter on the Note Edge N915F.
Im so desperate that i want to pay for it. Or maybe a game on steam :highfive:
Please help me out!
Greetings.
Stefjoe
Stefjoe,
I also saw your pm. I know now that you would like that module added to the tblte kernel. Kali Nethunter is not a rom, it is an overlay of sorts. Essentially a chrooted Linux distribution running over the top of your Android phone.
Kali only supports stock roms, or some "CyanogenMod variants", so I could add this to the AOKP kernel for you, but I cannot guarantee that you will have everything you need for this to work. For instance, you are going to need packet injection, module loading and unloading, force modules, etc., etc., much more than just the one item you requested. The note edge is not on the list of supported devices for a reason, it takes much dedication and effort to set it up properly. You would also need to build your custom port of Kali to go on your system. (Unless I am mistaken, no one has made one for the Note Edge yet.)
So, have you already built a working port of kali for your phone?
I say this in the kindest of regards, but if you cannot build the kernel, can you build the kali image?
As a side note, all the tools in Kali Linux are freely available, and you can download them to your phone right now, just not in the glorified package. Having Kali is like having a toolbox. Having a tool box does not make one a mechanic. Having Kali does not make one a pentester, or cacker (unethical hacker) if you are aiming for that.
I am not opposed to you having Kali, I've used it before myself (not on a phone), but in the end, I found Debian to be just as useful, downloading the tools that actually helped me in my job/tasks.
I am just curious if you have already created the kali image you need for the Note Edge phone. In theory, if the only thing you need is a kernel with the above, then it should work with your current kernel, just without that feature. If you have not even made the image yet, then I suspect that you are going to need a lot more than what you asked for.
I hope that makes sense.

Thanks for your reply again! I kinda ported the Nethunter to Note Edge with help from this video on YT ; /watch?v=jhLBJJwB88k
Everything works fine but only the TP-Link WL722N is not working because the kernel does not have this module installed. The adapter takes care of the injection so no worries i guess. I sended u a PM.
I am a certified hacker and i know what Kali Linux is but only missing this tool and it could make my work a lot easier. So i really appreciate if u can do this for me man. Endless thanking
Greetings

Stefjoe,
I see from your PM that you are not requesting my AKLU kernel, but the TW Emotion Kernel. I can't do that for you.
To build the kernel you need the right source, the source code for the kernel has been updated since r17 ( I think it is r2X? now). That means rolling back through the commits to find the time it was built and working properly and getting that source. It is not as simple as just going straight back to r17, the r17 version you may be using may be anywhere in the commits between r17 and r18.
Then we would need the exact toolchain he/she was building with. He says Linaro 5.1, but which one, 5.1, 5.1.1, 5.1.8? There are several.
Also, I do not build TW kernels. I only build AOSP kernels. I also don't usually build off of someone else's work. I was under the impression you wanted me to add that module to my AKLU kernel instead.
To get that specific kernel built the way you want, I recommend that you ask @Pafcholini to do that for you, since he made it originally.
If you want, I can add that module to my AKLU kernel for you, but I know the rest of the needed kernel items are in there that you need (packet injecting, force module loading, etc.) so I doubt it will work for you. You would also have to switch to AOKP, which may or may not work with your porting guide.
Sorry, but after looking at your full request, I don't think I can help you with what you need.
