Modules for Gingerbread (cifs/ext4)

Because of the newer kernel for Gingerbread (2.6.35.7) we need newer modules for cifs and ext4. Compiled them:
download here: http://xda.richardtrip.org/?dir=tab/Gingerbread/modules
Before you ask.... a tun.ko is not needed (compiled in the kernel).

Correct me if im wrong but will these modules give us EXT4 support on ginger ?

insmod /system/lib/modules/jbd2.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/ext4.ko
and it should work.

how to?
i have kernel 2.6.32.9

hmm .. i doubt about it ... the rom is very fast and as far its good , why do i need to go for ext4 if the ext4 suck the battery life ?

I have never heard of a file system sucking the battery life. If anything, FAT32 would be the worst used in practice today.

So really dumb, newb ( but learning so much so quickly ) question. Can I get my CIFS support back to stream videos on Overcome 2.0.0 if I use
insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/slow-work ???
( think slow-work is needed from research )

Download the modules to /system/lib/modules/ (or anywhere really, just not the SD card) then load them using insmod. If you need them of every boot you can use an init.d script to load them automatically

For those of you who are inept, please find a link below to the same modules inside a CWM flashable zip.

Unfortunatly, init.d doesn't work in current version...

Tried to manually load as per instructions.
Didn't seem to do anything to assist my cifs manager. Figured I'd go back to my nandroid backup I'd made just before. Stuck on Samsung screen. on reboot after restore
Had to do a restock and rebuild. As say in previous post learning a lot ..........like always take an Nandroid
Think I'll be leaving this to the experts and wait for a new already compiled kernel

Cifs mananager doesn't help you. But it is simple to do that manually:
$su
#busybox insmod /system/lib/modules/easy-work.ko &&
#busybox insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
#mount -r -t cifs -o <YourShareName,login,password> <MountingPoint>
I use GscriptLite for that.

it just copy the *.ko to your /lib/module,you still have to add script inside init.d to make it load automatically when boot

init.d dobt supported in gb, seems to me
howto make these modulez autoloaded without init.d?

[Q] CIFS support module

Hello,
I would like to use cifsmanager apps but I see that our kernel doesn't have the proper module built in.
I just updated the kernel and modules using the latest available in the the kernel build service (following the incremental updates guide):
http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Incremental_Updates
but I'm not able to insmod the module.
I also tried to manually download the cifs.ko module and to load it telling to cifsmanager app where the module is, but I continue to receive the same error, no such device, like if the module isn't loaded correctly.
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you

Why not just use adb...? I don't see the need for CIFS.
If you can figure out how to get CIFS working, we can look about implementing it mainline.
Have you tried insmodding it after cp'ing the .ko file to /lib/modules?

ok thank you,
I tried to load the module using adb, but I think I'm using a wrong file because when I try to load it insmod return me the "invalid module format" output.
I'm using the kernel downloaded here:
http://zimages.googlecode.com/files/htc-msm-linux-20110914_084441-package.tar.bz2
somebody can tell me if is there a module that I can use with this kernel?
thank you

Where did you get the module from...? Our kernel is probably not equipped with that module.

Caio,i've sent you a pm,let me know if it works,so i'll maybe push it in the mainline kernel

I downloaded the module on a thread of HTC Diamond's...can someone link me a module that could work with this kernel?
Or is there another way I can use to mount my samba share on my android?

Didn't you just say it was some simple config flag?
Make use of that "recognized developer" insignia you throw around there and commit something . (Or at least post something to the ML!!)

still doesn't work, shows the same message when insmod or insmod -f
btw, the kernel is modules-2.6.27.46-01356-gd4c73bd.tar.gz, maybe you should build a complete one? (well, i have never played with linux kernel...)

Assuming his patch is accepted, it will get committed mainline. It's a quite simple change to how the kernel is built.

I think phh had an issue with the patch submitted. I have a patch to commit soon so i can look into this. One question i have is how do yall plan to load the module? Does the app insmod it ? or does it expect the module to be built into the kernel?

I think people just want the module available in the 'modules`uname-r`.tar.gz' file. That way they at least have the option of insmodding it...(*.user.conf etc) who knows what they want to do with it afterwards - I guess access their phone on a LAN from their PC?

just want to mount my share folder from my PC to Android, so that i can use the shared files online without copy-paste (it'll be quite annoying by copy-paste, especially when you want to edit file, because you must upload it after editing)
in short, same as Caio, just want to use cifsmanager, and it says "no such device"

CIFS.ko for stock 4.0.4 [updated for IMM76I]

#compiled new cifs.ko, md4.ko, nls_utf8.ko for the new
IMM76I build
kernel number
3.0.8-gda6252b
attachment "cifs_gda6252b.zip"
------------------------------------------------------------------
hi there, i have compiled modules for CIFS to work on the stock 4.0.4 kernel.
kernel number must match "3.0.8-g034fec9"
in the attached zip,
here are the list of files.
cifs.ko
md4.ko
#above 2 are required to have it work
#here are native language support.
nls_utf8.ko
nls_cp932.ko
nls_cp936.ko
nls_cp950.ko
#above cp9xx are support for chinese characters.
nls_euc-jp.ko
#above is support for japanese letters.
thank you.
additional notes.
apparently you do not need any other native language support apart from utf8
the trick is, during the mounting process, you will need to specify the "iocharset=utf8" under options.
eg
"mount //192.168.15.123/a /home/b/c -t cifs -o username=d,password=e,uid=f,gid=g,iocharset=utf8"
for cifs manager, just put "iocharset=utf8" under the Options, and you should be able to see all different charsets.
do remember you will need to load the nls_utf8.ko

once you have the module install,
you can use cifs manager to manage your mounts.
(you can also set cifs manager to load this module for you).

Thanks, I'll give it a try later today.

make sure that you have the correct stock kernel.
must match "3.0.8-g034fec9" else insmod will fail.
if anyone of you are running other version of kernel, i can try compile if for you as well, but let me know your kernel version.
do note, i have not tried compiling for other version, it might and might not work.

Common Internet File System, is another name for SMB (Server Message Block) also known as Samba. It's most commonly used in Microsoft Windows networks for providing shared network access to files, printers and other services.
These modules allows you to mount a shared directory from your windows computer, on your phone.
I use it to watch movies and play Mp3 on my phone, which is stored on my (windows) media server.

this is the shared library cifs manager is complaining about.
hence you need to download and insmod it.
note. you will need to be rooted to do this.

both
md4.ko and cifs.ko must be loaded to work.
as for the native language support (nls_utf8.ko), its down to yourself.
to use it,
under cifsmanager (when creating a new share)

Working great here, thanks!

Thanks man. I took and extracted this cifs.ko and simply pasted a copy into my:
/lib/modules
......directory. Adjusted CIFS Manager settings and it worked great, even on my Bell Mobility SGH-i317M model.
Afterwards the cifs.ko file appears to have disappeared from that directory (even another copy/paste action into that directory never called up an overwrite option ). Regardless, however, my CIFS mounts still work flawlessly everytime I mount them.....100%
To others wondering what the purpose of the cifs.ko or why we need to mount to our sdcard. Some apps.....in my case QuickPic work by browsing designated local folders on your device. With CIFS mounts, I can treat network shared folders as local (ie it sees them as being on my device). This allows QuickPic to see all my pictures (thousands of them on my hard drives attached to my PC), and the ones on my device as well, and display them in gallery form. As long as I am connected to my local network via wifi I have immediate, and pleasant viewing in gallery form, of every single picture in my collection regardless if they are on the device or not. Add VPN porting into home network and I can view all my pics, using QuickPic even on the go never having to actually waste limited SDcard space on my device.
I could use ES File Explorer (or similar) to view these same photos but it requires navigating thru directories or creating shortcuts.....its just clunky. With CIFS mounts I open QuickPic and I have instant stunning gallery access to every picture in entire collection. The only time it is clunky is the first time a network directory is accessed, or if the QucikPic thumbnael cache is deleted and has to be rebuilt.
Another app CIFS works well with is Mizuu for video playback and stunning gallery presentation.....same concept. Ive made it work with BS Player as well as Car Tunes also. That is what I use CIFS for but I am sure there are many more reasons or actions possible it.

Thanks for this! I was able to get it working by using the Note2Core 2.21 AS (LTE) as well. I have a Rogers-based i317M as well, so chose the 7105 based (LTE) version of the kernel.
I had to google around for that specific kernel, though. The 3.x version wouldn't detect my SIM card, but I was able to use CIFS.
I wasn't able to get CIFS working with the Peresus kernel.
