I use cifs and smanager to access my nas on my old prime. I hoped that the kernel modules from the prime would work on the infinity as well. Sadly, the modules seem to load with no issue, but when I go to mount, the infinity reboots itself.
I can't for the life of me remember where I got the prime modules, although if memory serves, the ones I found for stock ICS kernel elsewhere on XDA did not work. I still tried those modules on the infinity as well and they also crashed. That aside, has anyone found or compiled a set of cifs and md4 modules?

I've compiled the kernel from the 9.4.5.22 source downloaded from Asus' website, mainly for testing purposes so far.
I quickly compiled the cifs module so you can give that a try if you want. Should hopefully work.
And the usual: I've not tested it myself, so don't blame me if your cat suddenly catches fire or something
Link to cifs.ko (zipped to reduce size): https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkncl23a4e5b62m/cifs.zip
Thanks bro, seems to be working like a charm, with the other md4.ko I had grabbed off my prime. If you get bored, would you compile md4.ko too? even though it works, I'd rather have a consistent module set.
Although, noticing ASUS has the source online, I guess I really should set up my own kernel compile environment. If I do so, I'll certainly review the relevant threads on XDA.
Again many thanks.

Glad to hear it's working! I'll look into the md4 module tomorrow. As long as there aren't a lot of dependencies I'm assuming it will compile just fine.
Didn't take too long to set up a build environment if you want to give it a go. I used Ubuntu 12.04 and got the pre built tool chain from Google as per the instructions on developer.android.com for kernel compilation.
I've added a git repository on github with the stock source from the 9.4.5.22 release by Asus if you just want the source code quickly. Feel free to fork it:
https://github.com/oddeirik/TF700T-kernel
Hopefully I'll get time to actually do some kernel development, but work is taking up a lot of time these days. Besides, we're getting JB soon, aren't we?

Here's the md4.ko module: https://www.dropbox.com/s/izzdca4gvr0a0l9/md4.zip
Thanks again. While actual kernel dev is beyond my meager 6 lines of C, compiling my own mods/optimized kernels are things I used to do all the time before work got in my way. So I'm adding a kernel dev environment to my main ubuntu dev box now. Really, if I have the environment setup, compiling standard kernel mods should be quick and easy, and your rapid help has made me feel lazy
And I wouldn't count on JB any time soon, I'm still waiting for face unlock

Thanks for sharing the files.

Hello there, can you perhaps help me set this up myself as well? I downloaded the files, but I cannot push them with adb into /system/lib/modules as it tells me the filesystem is read-only. Can you tell me where should I put these files in and how to make cifsmanager see them? Thanks in advance!
if you are using es explorer (which I highly recommend) make sure you set mount / as r/w in the settings. I think Smanager also has that option, but it seems more picky. FYI - I would recommend setting up SManager and setting up a mount script on network. IT keeps my nas library connected so PowerAMP doesn't pitch a fit
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
Sorry I'm a general noob at these kind of things. I just used adb push to send the files. I never even heard of es explorer or Smanager. Can you point me to more info perhaps? Thanks.
So lets see if I can help a bit. Although I am lazy I prefer to avoid ADB outside of my own app development and rom/rooting.
1) ES Explorer is a file manager, and works well for rooted devices. If you set permissions in the settings of ES explorer you can mount / as read/write which you need to do if you want to add modules in the system area.
2) SManager runs scripts for you and can be set to auto run scripts on certain conditions.
So my setup is like this.
1) Download zip files to tablet, use es explorer to unzip and copy the /system/lib/modules
2) create a quick and dirty script to load modules and setup my mount points. I suggest for ICS creating the mount points in /Removable. also a good idea to drop .nomedia files in your mount points. This will prevent the tablet from trying to index those directories which can suck when your mount points aren't accessible.
3) Setup SManager to run that script as root, and on network.
my script where I mount to shares on the same NAS is as follows.
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/md4.ko
mkdir /Removable/music
mkdir /Removable/Volume_1
mount -o username=REPLACEWITHUSER,password=REPLACEWITHPASSWORD -t cifs //CIFSHOSTNAMEORIPADDRESS/music /Removable/music
mount -o username=REPLACEWITHUSER,password=REPLACEWITHPASSWORD -t cifs // CIFSHOSTNAMEORIPADDRESS /Volume_1 /Removable/Volume_1
I've never had any luck with cifsmanager doing what I wanted. Oh and ES Explorer can mount shares, but not in a way that makes android think they are local and this has consequences.
Hope this helps.
ASUS Transformer Infinity TF700 - rooted/stock

Really I swear I've had lots of roms on these devices at other times.
Any chance someone can compile CIFS for the newer .26 kernel?
My ubuntu VM died a horrible death and I just haven't had the time to rebuild it lately.
Thanks!
.26 uses the same kernel version as .22 and there haven't been any changes to the CIFS or MD4 source as far as I can tell. In other words, the modules should work on both .22 and .26.
Really big thanks to you guys I get SMB share working.
Thanks to Einride for compiling both cifs.ko and md4.ko
Thanks to akameswaran for his methods based on scripting with SManager.
The only last point is for accent characters that are not working, I think that I need to set iocharset=utf8 option on mount but I haven't found nls_utf8.ko for the moment.
I'll keep you in touch when I found it.
Kind regards.
How about for Jelly Bean?

Hi all.
I make a new kernel based in Buzz Vega, but with some changes.
1) All modules (but wifi) are now integrated into kernel, so no more insmod modules.
2) Added support for PL2303 and FDTI usb to serial chips (Usb Gps, usb-serial cable, etc.)
3) Added support for Xbox 360 PAD (wired or wireless with pc adaptor)
Notes:
1) To boot in host mode, press on, once you have black iluminated, release on button and press back until boot finished.
2) Usb Gps and Xbox pad are detected by kernel but not useable in android by now. I'm working on it.
3) To mount CIFS shares, you can use Mount Manager or Cifs Manager from market
4) To use NTFS (and possibly EXT4) you must mount manually. I'm working in do it automatically. Using ConnectBot:
Code:
$su
#busybox mount /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk
And you get yout memory at /mnt/usbdisk and can access it with any file manager.
INSTALL:
This must be installed using CWM, and use this zip as update. MAKE ALLWAYS A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE
If you was using Buzz Vega, can delete .ko files from /system/lib/modules, because they are not used (now integrated into kernel).
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13580211/corvusKernel_01.zip
Thanks Buzz, Paul "Modaco", Koush, and all great helping people at #tegratab.
Corvus.
PS: If you prefer speak spanish with me, please PM.
Awesome work with the Xbox360 controller. What kernel module did you use to achieve that? Just getting in to kernel stuff with the Vega so please excuse if my question is a little basic.
You can search for Xpad in .config or advent_vega_defaultconfig.

Hey corvus,
I just wanted to say thanks! Your kernel is running great on my POV mobii and I don't experience the root- or bsod-problems I had with buzz-vega kernel. Also the cifs integration works fine.
greetings...
Great to see developers starting to work on the Advent.
Installed this kernel on my Advent Vega. It seems the device came to live. Performance is much better now. Suspending and resuming now works better. Wifi resuming works great. Very nice job with this kernel, very nice indeed
what adapter do you use? using xbox remote would be amazing
None by now... they are detected by kernel, but not used by android... working on it.
Corvus.
i thaught as much. good luck with that using an xbox remote on a ps1 emulator would rock!
hi! what about the kernel source + config?
like to add dvb-t and bluetooth hid (doesn't detect that my bt keyboard is a keyboard..)
and ive got some strange issues with the orientation sensor, seems like its shifted to the left so when i want to get into landscape mode i must rotate it much more to the right side (so i used the lock that i can work with that). No issue with CM7.
EDIT: ive got an xbox 360 wireless controller for windows (with the usb reciever), do i need to have some external apps or something to use this?

i think that you refer to wifi firmware...
I found this problem too...
You must edit wifi sources (/drivers/networking/wireless/ath/ath6k/.../ar6000.c, if i remember correclty). Search for firmware and change all paths to /system/lib/hw/wlan (if i remember correctly, search in this path for files).
you can recompile only wifi module, not need to recompile all kernel.
If you have any other problems with firmware, you need to change sources, because /lib/firmware is a bad place, because /lib is not created. Is better to point to /system/lib.

I just installed ICS and it works fine. I never expected it to work as well as it does, but now I can get down to griping about little things that I use that don't yet work
Normally I use CIFS (Common Internet File System, like Samba was before) to access shares on the net. This worked fine on HoneyComb because I built my own kernel modules.
For ICS, I think the source is not yet released for the kernel. I did see that there was a tun.ko and cifs.ko for ICS over in the transformer prime section of XDA, so I tried those out but it appears the tegra 3 kernel is too different for these to work. (although I think the version is the same).
If anyone has seen or has a working cifs.ko module I'd appreciate getting ahold of it (or especially the ICS kernel source code).
Thanks -
I don't know about cifs.ko as I don't use it, but I do use OpenVPN and found out that tun is part of ICS now, you no longer need a separate module.

I didn't have much success with tun and cifs for my purpose which was to wirelessly access the sd card of the phone/tablet vice versa until I used the Samba app fom the market. In combination with Ghost commander and after upgrading to ICS everything was intact. Not sure if this is helpful to you or not. Just throwin it out there.
Thanks both of you -
I realized that tun was there but thanks. As for cifs, I suppose the module isn't really needed except to use certain utils that rely on it, like root explorer.
I found a number of samba/cifs compatible file managers that're fine for me like ES explorer etc.
Those will be fine and I'll look forward to getting kernel source for ICS anyway.

I've just rooted my TF101 (ICS) so that I could get Junos pulse working with its ssl vpn. Doing a bit of reading I found I needed tun.ko (at least with 3.2). That automatic tun.ko installer from the market reports that tun.ko is installed (compiled into the kernel?)
I can see the tun0 created, with an IP address. But it doesn't work, not a single bit travels the tunnel interface.
I'm officially confused...
Still too few posts under this account name to be able to post links, but have you seen this thread in Dev?
xpad / cifs modules for stock kernel ICS v9.2.1.11
Thanks for that... that confirms tun.ko is built in, which doesn't help me find/fix my problem.
Will keep at it!
Recently I've been attempting to install Ubuntu on my transformer, after a couple of mis-fires I've gotten to a state of having ubuntu 12 and the Jhinta kernel installed - and running the latest NVFLASHable asus stock android rom.
Unfortunately i'm having trouble setting up the wi-fi, it seemed to set itself up on the old kernel but with Jhinta I need to manually grab the files. /dev/mmc0p7/ as mentioned on the wiki doesn't exist, and doing a search on the four mounted filesystems only reveals some of the required files. Placing these in /lib/firmware isn't enough unfortunately.
Ideally I'd just like a download of the files, but if anyone can give me a few pointers or push me towards an android rom that has the wiki's layout it'd be greatly appreciated!

Hey,
I had these problems to.
Uhm i some how magicly fixed it.
Lets see:
1. /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf -> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf #optional
2. Download the default kernel files. Unpack 3.1 bla bla kernel in ubuntu at the location of lib/modules i think. ( Use sudo nautilus )
3. backup the kernel filesi n the modules and then remove them.
4. now search linux for tegra.
5. download the version 15 not 16. ( i took harmony because it works well..)
6. Now cd to the folder and use :sudo ./app*.sh -r /
If ./ doesnt work use bash.
7. reboot
8. go to X11 ( idk where i will post it.)
9. and enable GLX
10. Enjoy
Note: I haven't fix the trackpad yet.
So u need a mouse D:
Thanks for the reply! unfortunately I'm not really sure what you mean about unpacking the kernel files. I'd already placed the 3.1 modules in lib/modules prior to installing the kernel if that's what you were referring to.

3.1.10-g8c2655b-dirty.tar
Thats folder should be in lib/modules.
Delete the others. (BACKUP!!)
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf form your android to : /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf/wpa_supplicant.conf
Enjoy.
Thays how i fixed mine :]
Aha, thanks for the clarification! Unfortunately doing this did nothing for my wi-fi, but it did fix needing usb devices to be plugged in on boot.
I have gotten the wifi working though! It's hard to say what steps were actuallly needed, but I searched for nvram.txt and fw_bcm4329.bin, placed them in both /lib/firmware and /lib/firmware/bcm4329, found the bcm4329.ko in /modules/2.{I forget the version number}/ and moved it to the empty 3.1.10-g8c2655b-dirty folder in modules (I strongly suspect this step was pointless). What finally got it working was running modprobe bcm4329 to load the wifi module.
This should probably be posted here, but I sadly don't have the required 10 posts to do so.
There's one issue that I noticed that is actual in 0.2.2alpha. When you choose to flash Jhinta 3.1x kernel and not 2.6x kernel, it is still linux.img that is being flashed, instead of jlinux.img.
Also there's one question (or rather a feature request). Once you have dual boot up and running it would be nice to be able to flash linux rootfs only (ubuntu.img) without changing the partition table and loosing current android install. You can't currently do that with Tubuntu, right?
Best regards,
Alex

Speaking about your own kernel, I tried compiling one from Jhinta source, but I received odd errors at boot time. First it was this kind of errors:
lists.litmus-rt.org/pipermail/litmus-dev/2012/000215.html
it was suggested there to try changing CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT kernel config value, I did that, and then I got some other odd errors, so I gave up
Right now I have a more or less stable 12.04 kubuntu+3.10.1 jhanti kernel with hw acceleration, sound, zram (used netinstall 0.6). I'm only missing overclocking and a cifs module, that's why I tried building my own kernel, but never got it booting. I don't know any sane methods of backing up and restoring linux on tf101 (well, dd + gzip should work, but that's rather stupid), so I'm a little hesitant about flashing your lubuntu right now. I think I'll still give it a go, but before I do that, don't you know any easy way to back up my current linux install?

x3maniac I was wondering if you have ever checked out openELEC linux. They just pushed out a new version on Distrowatch and it looks like it will have support for ARM devices. It is very lightweight at 106mb and is made to run XBMC out of the box. Might be worth a try due to its size and media streaming abilities.

Compression was already set to lzma. I can't figure out what I was doing wrong. Yet, you're right, no point to reinvent the wheel.
I see you've recently released your Lubuntu V1.1-rc1. The specs sound great! Could you please post the rootfs download link and also post your kernel img?

I gave it a go First of all, Tubuntu flashes .\images\linux.img when choosing to flash "2.6x x3maniac kernel", I assume it should flash .\images\xlinux.img
That's not a big issue, but should be fixed
A quick list of things I noticed.
1. Things that work:
-1.2 GHz OC
-Usb mouse (when plugged before system boots, otherwise not - that's due to 3.1.10 kernel, I guess)
-cifs module
-chromium
-terminal (right clicking on your tf101linux gadget -> Shortcuts -> Terminal)
-screen brightness up/down buttons. You just have to be mindful to avoid turning the screen off this way - it won't turn on afterwards and you'll have to force reboot.
-ntfs read/write
2. Things that don't work:
-touchpad
-XF86poweroff button
-System Tools -> XTerm/UXTerm
-sound: Audacious complains "ALSA error. No suitable mixer element found. snd_mixer_find_selem failed". Gnome MPlayer just won't produce any sound, and youtube html5 videos too.
-plugging in an external usb drive. It's totally ignored. A pen drive doesn't even blink, nor the drive appears in /dev it works now. It didn't during initial launch. Don't know why, but a reboot cured this.
Also, it happens quite often that system freezes for no apparent reason and only force reboot helps. It happened twice with me already, although it's been less then an hour since I flashed lubuntu.
Tell me if you need some additional info

I gave it a go First of all, Tubuntu flashes .\images\linux.img when choosing to flash "2.6x x3maniac kernel", I assume it should flash .\images\xlinux.img
That's not a big issue, but should be fixed
A quick list of things I noticed.
1. Things that work:
-1.2 GHz OC
-Usb mouse (when plugged before system boots, otherwise not - that's due to 3.1.10 kernel, I guess)
-cifs module
-chromium

i love your report! keep up the good work. this helps me narrow down the problems but without a dock i can't fix some of the issues. but try this
touchpad:
edit /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
Code:
Section "InputClass"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Identifier "Touchpads"
Driver "mtrack"
EndSection
should fix the touchpad issue.
i will look into fixing my script for the brightness issue. located int /usr/local/bin/tfbright
what were you doing when you freeze? i don't have a dock(still waiting for it in the mail) so i don't know if it's related to that.
i've been looking at nvidia git and downloaded there source for the linux4tegra kernel. it' compiled fine but wont boot. don't know why yet
x3maniac, I know it is off topic a bit but I just wanted to mention that I appreciate your attitude towards your work and especially criticism (aka feedback) from others about your work. Reminds me of my EVO 4G days running tommytomato's classic rom. His threads were always friendly and optimistic, much like your own.

Strange, but there's no /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I tried creating it with `Xorg :1 -configure`, but I get "No devices to configure. Configuration failed."
I also tried creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the following content
Code:
Section "InputClass"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Identifier "Touchpads"
Driver "mtrack"
EndSection
but touchpad wont' work.
Like I said, there appears to be no apparent reason for those freezes The only things they had in common are the following:
(as far as I can remember)
-I had a cifs share mounted
-pen drive was plugged in
-chromium was opened
I understand that isn't helpful at all, but atm I can't reproduce those freezes myself. They occur kind of randomly.
I hope linux4tegra kernel does boot after all
Thank you for your work
EDIT: 30 minutes without freezes, I hope they're gone for good! :laugh:

as far as i see it, you guys are helping me get a working version. user/tester are as important as the devs making them. or else dev's would be out of the job. lols that's how i see it
I let lubuntu running and it froze smth like 20 minutes ago Without me doing anything. Chromium was running, pen drive plugged in and a cifs share mounted.
I'll leave it running without a pen drive plugged in, shares mounted and chromium running to see if it freezes eventually.

i'm guessing jhanti's kernel is not stable. i was starting to use it more and got a random freeze. cpu1 went to sleep and wont wake up. looking into that.. i might just take nvidia's kernel 3.1.10 and try to get that working.
Hi all
This post will hopefully serve two purposes, one to help me find what Im looking for and the second to help other find similar.
Im looking for an N5 kernel that supports both CIFS and NFS, either built in or in the form of loadable modules. I have so far tried Faux and Franco, latest versions of both. I cant mount CIFS or NFS using the mount command with either of them. Are there any kernels on the N5 that support this properly?
If anyone knows any perhaps we can compile a list here so its clear which kernels support which features, searching high and low and trawling through kernel changelogs to find what I need is becoming quite laborious. Kind of makes me wonder why most kernel devs dont seem to want to publish a comprehensive feature list for their kernels, some do but most unfortunately dont.
Thanks in advance.
From what I can see there are kernels that support cifs - look in /system/lib/modules/ for cifs.ko.

I have not yet found a viable nfs module for the stock nexus, nor have I found a way to get the mount command to work.
It looks as if CM based roms may be able to deal with this, though.
Could you compile your own? If you want just to be able to simply transfer files ES File Explorer supports at least CIFS.

Thus far I've found that Faux supports NFS, I'm able to mount directly via the busybox mount command, it just required a slight modification to the syntax. Unfortunately I've still not found any that support CIFS not even one that has the loadable modules for it. And I need these for shell scripts I'm using, which operate independently of apps so the usual file manager apps are of no use.

@phobox360 could you please post your command for NFS mount? I installed hammerhead-lp-faux123-024u kernel, tried both 'mount' and 'busybox mount' , with and w/o su, but still not able to mount NFS exports. Thanks in advance.
