[Q] Virtuous with CIFS - CIFS manager not working - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, first excuse my English.
I have a problem with any CIFS manager. I have uploaded the Virtuous ROM standard kernel. Which has built-in CIFS module. Unfortunately, any attempt to mount SMB share, whether during or manager through the shell and "mount-t cifs" does not work.
I tried a search but without result.
I tried the CM with pershoot kernel (which has an external module) and it worked.
Thank you for any advice or directions.

Nothing?

I'm not using Virtuous anymore (nothing wrong with at all, I just preferred CM7 more!), but as far as I remember the default kernels aren't compiled with cif support (or netfilter for droidwall).
I always used the Pershoot kernels as you mentioned and never had a problem. If you have that working already, is there a reason you want to use standard Virtuous kernel?

Hi, thanks for response.
Virtuous ROM is best to use with Virtuous kernel. I tried to use Pershoot kernel but i have some issue with WiFi. Can't connect to my home AP.
And I have a feeling rmk40 himself mentioned that it is good to use a different kernel (due to the HTC apps).
CM is fast HTC ROM, but some things I really like and I would hate to pass up.

[Q] Overclock Question

Hi. I have a S-Off, perm rooted T-Mobile G2 and would like to use this method to overclock my phone:http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/14/ho...ted-s-off-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-or-t-mobile-g2/
Q1: Is it recommended?
Q2: It requires me to use a custom ROM, which I do not want to. Is there an "original" rom that has ADB Remounting which I can use instead?
Thanks in advance.
I'm not able to view the method you've posted from where I'm at right now, but I can tell you that the most stable, "permanent" overclocking experience I ever found when on stock rom is CM's BaconBits (which includes an overclocking kernel among other things) used in conjunction with SetCPU.
you will need Clockworkmod recovery installed on your phone to flash the baconbits zip. I'm guessing you already have this - if not, you just need to install Rom Manager and you will be able to flash cwm recovery through the app.
from there, all you need to do is install setCPU (it's free here on XDA - just search for it) and use it to set your clock speeds.
easy as pie method for overclocking on stock rom.. and my guess is that it will be more stable than anything you get from theunlockr - it seems to me most of their tutorials are a bit outdated for the vision.
Download ROM Manager and use it to download Pershoot's kernel.

you can try pershoot's as well, but I will say that it did not play nice with my G2's stock froyo rom. this was a few months ago though so maybe there has been a remedy and it's working swimmingly now.
if you get pershoot's kernel to work, I would recommend it over baconbits as pershoot is constantly updating and improving it.
Just to clarify.... You need to change your kernel to overclock not your rom. A lot of roms include an overclocked kernel but that doesnt mean you cant flash a kernel with your stock rom. Make sure you set up a heat profile with setcpu so you dont fry your phone.

Thanks guys for all your help.
I went with a more simple solution, and flashed CM7.
Now it looks as nice as the original and has 1.5GHz overclock.
Do I need to set heat profiles for CM7 or the stable release will take care of it?

Can I use cyanogenmod 7.1 with Virtuous Unity V9 Kernel ?

Hi guys .. I want to try out the cyanogenmod 7.1 stable ROM on my Desire Z, but I want to still use the Virtuous Unity V9 kernel, which I'm using right now ... I dont know if both of these will be compatible with each other or not ..
I want to continue to use Virtuous Unity V9 as it supports the 2-way call recording which I need ..
Kernels work very specifically. Unless it says it can, I doubt it will. Be careful because your phone can be messed up by flashing the wrong kernel.
Okay ... so then how can I know which ROMs work with some specific kernel ?
For example, in Virtuous Unity ROM's description, the Virtuous Unity v9 kernel was explicitly mentioned .. in that its needed for the 2-way call feature to work ..
When I upgraded to Virtuous Affinity, the same Unity v9 kernel was not mentioned anywhere in Affinity's description .. Still I assumed it would work, and it did ..
So how do I know which kernel is compatible with which ROMS ?
Also, if I flash the wrong kernel, would it result in any permanent damage that cannot be fixed ?!
And lastly, are their any other kernels out there which support 2-way call recording feature, *without* activating the speakerphone during a call ?
Kernels tend to work like this
Froyo kernel - froyo firmware
Gingerbread kernel - 2.3x
Ics... you get the point
Also sense tends to need sense
Aosp and cm tend to be interchangeable but not always
If you swap kernel between these guideliines will usualy be fine
If you flash the wrong kernel usualy won't boot if it does boot things may be messed up
More than likley won't cause any permenet damage and you could just flash properly kernel on top and it will solve your problems, sometimes might have to full wipe and start over
Chance of major damage is unlikley

Hmm ... okay thanks .. So I guess in order to keep using Unity V9 Kernel, I would need to remain with the Virtuous team's ROMs ?
Also, are there any other similar kernels which allow 2 way call recording without having to activate the speakerphone ?
Well that's a sense kernel right? Probalby any sense that is the same version will work, not necessarily needs to be virtuous

Nikez Lente & Kernel

Hello all,
First of all, sorry for posting in the wrong forum, but I cannot post in the development one, so forgive me.
I have a question for all of you:
I have installed on my HTC Desire the Nikez Lente Evervol JB ROM, which is great.
I really like it, even if there are few bugs and random FC.
I've used CM7.2 for a long time before to switch to JB.
I don't miss CM (sorry for that), but I really miss Tiamat Kernel I installed within it, which helped me overclock and underclock my processor, changing also the voltage.
With Nikez Lente JB original kernel this is not possible, I tried to install Tiamat Kernel for ICS but the phone cannot boot anymore, I'm stuck to initial black screen.
So I went back to the original Nikez Kernel.
Unfortunately this kernel seems do not allow "extreme" overclock as Tiamat does, and do not allow the user to change the voltage table.
I would really like to have these features back on my JB installation, is it possible?
Is there a kernel which can work with Nikez JB ROM and can give me back the features I'd like to have?
Moreover: can you explain why the Tiamat ICS kernel (for Bravo GSM) does not work with both Nikez Lente ROMs (ICS & JB)? Am I making something wrong?
My phone is a PVT-1 Amoled, S-OFFed qith Revolutionary, the HBOOT is the Alpharev Stock one, The recovery is CWM 5.0.2.0, I have a 32Gb SD card with 1 Gb ext3 sd-ext partition.
What else can I say?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Giovanni
Yes it is possible.
But probably you have to wait.
Evervolv team (nikez included) are working on jb and probably when all features will be working they add some mod in kernel that will let you OC CPU.

Did you check/compare the kernel configs? One of the CM wiki pages about building the kernel describes howto access the config - or check the git repos, evervolv has the file somewhere in arch/asm, it is called bravodefconfig IIRC
Maybe a device or filesystem driver is missing

Almost, it's located in arch/arm/configs/evervolv_bravodefconfig

[Q] cifs.ko and md4.ko for 3.0.42 kernel

Hi everyone! Forgive me if this has already been posted, but I searched and couldn't find what I'm looking for. Just like the title says, I'm looking for the cifs modules for the cm10 m1 kernel 3.0.42. I flashed from stock JB and now I can't seem to get my cifs manager to connect. I tried a few different ones for various kernels and didn't have any luck. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a bunch.
Regards,
Bennie
The Trinity Alpha56 kernel has CIFS support built into the kernel itself, so you wouldn't need the modules if you used that kernel. It should he compatible with CM10. You can download it from derkernel.com.

It works. I'm always skeptical of kernels though. Some chew battery, some aren't stable. We'll find out in a few days!

Glad cifs works. The Trinity kernels in general seem to be stable and good on battery if used with default settings. I use them exclusively and haven't run into any problems. YMMV.

it's chewing my battery... took it off the charger at 8am and I'm down to 18%... going to try and troubleshoot what is causing the drain... if the kernel has been determined as the culprit, i'm going to have to try a different one...

What is a kernel that is frequently updated and supported?I

I've been using Franco kernel for a while but it seems like he doesn't give a crap about the new Nexus 7. Any kernels that are actually supported and good?
As long as everything works fine I don't see why a kernel would need to be updated frequently?
I've mostly been using ElementalX 2.6 and have had the best results and support. And importantly, there's not a lot of BS posts.
I attempted elementalx 2.6 amd 2.4 on CM11 however, I was getting very bad lag even with stock settings in elementalx.
I flashes to stock 4.2.2 and tried elementalx 2.6, it now runs great with no issues on stock settings.
I just reinstalled and used oc settings and gc oc settings etc still working well so far.
Also the elementalx kernel works great for otg and broadband usb dongles.
