CIFS Supported Rom - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any kernel or ROM that is EC05 and has CIFS functionality?
I would really like to tie some SMB shares to my phone both at home and the office.
Thanks ahead of time.

The CIFS module can be loaded with any ROM or kernel - but I think (don't quote me) that Twilight Zone and VisionKernel have them built in.

Im using the Syndicate ROM, the lastest edition, I forget its codename. From what I gather (through short testing) the Twilight kernel doesnt have it...
The cifs module can just be cooked in via command line in Clockwork right?
Thanks for the response.

All you'd have to do is insmod it during the startup process. A simple initscript /should/ do it.

[Q] 'TUN' Support in a CM7 ROM? Kernel?

Hi everyone, I use CM7 roms (keep switching between various flavours, just about to flash CM7 RC3 by kali http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957336
My question is this. How do I get 'TUN' module support in a CM7 ROM. The reason I (think) I need it is because OpenVPN asks for it. I want to use OpenVPN to connect to my work. I've seen at least 3 kernels which support TUN, but they all work with Sense ROMs.
So, at present stage, would it not be possible for me to get TUN support in a CM7 ROM?
TIA.
Bump...
Anybody? Any other solution to connect to an openvpn server?

Tun Support for Gingerbread on Galaxy Tab
Hi everybody,
i have installed Gingerbread with CF-Root from Chainfire and everything is fine. But i need TUN support in the Kernel or by Module. So it is possible to make this running on that CF-Root-Kernel ?
I have start to build my own Kernel but when i load the zImage the Tab always restart with no funktion... When i load only the Build tun.ko module in then CF-Root-Kernel i got the message from insmod:
insmod: can't insert 'tun.ko': invalid module format
dmesg:
tun: exports duplicate symbol tun_get_socket (owned by kernel)
TAB-DATA:
Mod= GT-P1000
Firmware= 2.3.3
Basisbandversion=P1000XXJPZ
Kernel=2..3.7 [email protected] #2
Buildnumber=Gingerbread.XXJQ1
Hope anybody can help me.
Thanks

cifs support with Freedom kernel

Okay, so I was using Golden Monkey 1.1 kernel to feed my need for cifs on my home network (NAS). I then read about Freedom kernel and in the kernel manager app it says that cifs is supported. Wanting more features present in the Freedom kernel, I went with that. After the flash, I do not have my cifs support anymore.
Was this because Freedom kernel does not yet support cifs? (ver .7 HAVS) or did the new kernel include a new .ko file I need to reference to in cifs manager? Although I'm sure its not so black and white, so I look forward to your input guys!
Also since I have a low post count I couldn't add this to his thread in the Dev forum.
Can you send Lithid-cm a PM directly?
I don't recall seeing a CIFS kernel module (nor a tun one) in the zip.
Ya I sent him one but I'm sure he's been super busy. Thanks for the zip info github, I was afraid of that.
Maybe if it's easy enough once all the havs issues are settled he can look into it
Can't wait to hit that post limit to deal with the dev forum. I updated from 0.6 to 0.7 with kernel manager and lost wifi. Had to go through rom manager and wipe dalvik cache. Just a heads up for anyone else reading this.

Xperis S: cifs support?

Does XS has a cifs.ko in stock rom to use samba shares? If not, as I assume, is there a way to get this module for an rooted XS? Or are there any custom kernels with cifs support, which I can use on a stock rom?

If you gain root access to your XPERIA S(LT26i) you should be fine.
You can then use CIFS Manager and Samba Fileshaing as is your want.
I chose to use RaymanFX' ELiTE V2 Kernel on my XPERIA S in case that is a factor in making CIFS and Samba share operational, but I don't think it's required.
I'm using CIFS and Samba file sharing without any problems, no *.ko downloads required.
CIFSManager is only a manager, it needs cifs support in kernel.
But I will have a closer look at your kernel, at first sight it looks interesting.
I'm am using an SXAS and I've been looking into this, tool.
After some trying with different kernel modules I downloaded the kernel sources from Sony's developer webpage. And then it became very clear:
Theoretically our 6.2.B.0.200 firmware's kernel has integrated cifs support. The kernel config says so.
So I connected with adb and tried to mount via command line and looked at dmesg. It says: "CIFS VFS: Connecting to DFS root not implemented yet". This means: The kernel should be able to handle cifs, but there is a bug. Either it is the mount utility from the busybox I've installed or it is a bug in the kernel. Since our firmware uses a 3.4.0 Linux kernel and due to some googleing, I assume this to be a kernel bug.
You can find some source code patches in the internet. Maybe I'am patient enough to try building my own kernel.

I did build the kernel with the applied patch, but it didn't solve the problem. I guess I have to do some more research within the kernel forums. So no cifs yet.

Okay, for anybody, who is interested: I have not tried the following using the stock kernel of .200 or .211 since I'm on Forzaferrarileo's JB kernel at the moment. However, after a lot of internet research I found out how to configure the cifs manager app to mount Samba shares again.
Share Path: //<ip>/<share>
Mount Point as you like it
Username as needed
Password as needed
Options: sec=ntlm,iocharset=utf8,unc=\\\\<ip>\\<share>
It appears that the Samba developers changed their mounting syntax. Although the app states to start the share path with the ip, you need the double slash. And although the share path is already defined, they want it again in the options with the unc option. There you need to double all backslashes. If you have spaces in the unc path, use double quotation marks around your path.
Additional info: currently, I'm using busybox version 1.20.2.
Cifs is enabled and the module is built in kernel . Need only right use of cifs manager

Cifs

Dumb question maybe, but does the Samsung stock kernel support Cifs? Is there any kernels out there that will? I really would like to mount my linux server.
Just use an APP??

ES File Explorer (among others) supports samba shares (public and user/pass); it's all I use anymore for moving files between phone & NAS, as well as for streaming video directly (when my PLEX machine is down). Haven't bothered with system-level CIFS mounts in quite a while.
Compulsion Kernel v14 does. Also, I think Civz kernel also has it.
Haven't gotten it to work yet, though.
Update:
Got it to work within the CifsManager app by following These steps.
Unfortunately, other apps can't access the files and show the mount points as empty folders.
However, there's a solution I will try to see if it fixes it.

need cifs support, how?

Hi
first sorry for my bad english.
I would like backup my stuff every day (or week) at my local samba server. I would do this with a rsync script which will be executed by tasker. (I already have similar scripts like kill spotify app after unplug audio jack for example). But for this, I need cifs support to mount a samba share on my phone. I think I only get cifs support when I add cifs module to the kernel source and compile a kernel but I dont have an idea how do I do this. My ROM ist currently Lineage OS 17.1 (and it will be Lineage OS 18.1 very soon).
Is there a way to get cifs support?
