Hi everyone!
Just wanted to ask if anyone could upload their tun.ko for the said kernel. I'm trying OpenVPN and it is one of the requirement for the program to run.
Thanks a lot in advance!

You can't build a loadable kernel module without recompiling the kernel, hence theoretically you must also change the kernel....
I think that the stock kernel has this model built inside the kernel, so you should be able to just run OpenVPN and it should work, no need to load anything.
If this still does not work for you, look at the FlyKernel from my signature, it should solve the problem for you (if you try it and there are problems let me know on it's thread).
Thanks for the reply! I cant find tun.ko anywhere so I guess it is missing from the official rom. Im getting tired of the stock rom anyway so maybe its time to load up some custom prepared eclair or froyo.;-) i'll try cronos droid as im curious of what divx library is for. Maybe it can paly divx natively? Anyway, thanks again!

I'll try to clarify what I tried to say above: To the best of my knowledge there is no tun.ko in the official ROM. This is the way it should be. And yet openVPN will still work for you. Did you try to use OpenVPN and have some problem with it?
hey, thanks for taking time helping me out.
I was able to install openvpn. I can enable openvpn too, however, may problem is I can't use my openvpn configuration. For some reason, I can't make my openvpn configuration enabled. No error whatsoever. When I click the check mark for the configuration, it just blinks. Here's my hunch, In the tun module settings, there is this option: "path to tun module" which I dont know where to point to since the stock kernel does not have tun.ko. I downloaded a couple of tun.ko that I saw here and a couple of others I found using google. But since these are all not for the kernel that I have, it all didn't work. what do you think should I do?

Ok, I was sure for some reason that openVPN should work well with the stock kernel (personally I don't use VPN so can't really check it myself).
I think your best bet now is to try a different kernel. You can try my kernel from my signature (flykernel) which should work on almost any ROM. Or if you where planning to checkout different ROMs, go for it and hopefully it will work for there.
just finished reading your kernel details and it sounds interesting! I'll give it a try now.
and yea, thanks for the help and for your kernel.
This patch was originally created for Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy S III, but it might work for other devices* running Android 2.3 or 4.x because it patches the Email application that you have on your phone. This is not a pre-patched Email.apk.
* Motorola Blur (Droid), LG G2 and HTC Sense - based ROMs are not supported!
What does it do?
It will make the Email app ignore Exchange-pushed policy on your device, including things like mandatory pin lock (a.k.a. keyguard), minimum password length, encryption, etc.
How to apply this patch?
Root your phone. Your phone must be rooted. It is impossible to apply this patch without root access. You need root to proceed.
Get Java (Java SE JRE v7 or later)
Get USB ADB drivers (for Samsung, install Samsung USB Drivers). Most likely you already have this because of step 1.
Note - ADB via Wi-Fi is also supported. In that case no USB drivers are needed.
Enable USB debugging on the phone (Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging)
* For CM9 users, also go to Settings > Developer Options > Root access, and select ADB.
Download and unzip attached patch
Run apply-patch.cmd or apply-patch.sh
Note 1: Although the Email app will prompt you for device admin access, it won't actually enforce any policy on your device. Let the app install the device admin!
Note 2: any shortcuts to the Email app as well as any Exchange accounts will disappear and will need to be re-created.
Note 3: The patch will reboot your phone, this is needed for the changes to take effect.
Note 4: If you already installed another Email application and it doesn't work, first restore your original Email application before applying this patch.
A Special Note to those experiencing performance issues! This is not an issue of my patch. This is an issue in the Email app itself. Sometimes calendar sync can't finish properly, causing battery drain. It often happens after you just added a new exchange account. A reboot usually solves this issue. Again, this is not my issue!

Already patch Email.apk
Your "How to install this patch "is a little to difficult for me.
Is it possible for you to supply an already patched Email.apk ?
In advance thanks
For those who are interested in the source code of this patch, here it is.
https://github.com/rustyx/email-policy-patch
Thanks you
I use the Email.apk with the how to you supply, and All work like a charm.
I want to thanks you very much.
Thank You
Thanks so much for your effort. just want to get one thing clear, since you provided the patched Email.apk can i just install it directly, or do i need to be in recovery mode for example. because in your note you mentioned not to install!
Thanks again
Root explorer will also work! no ADB required!
1) Put Email.apk on your sdcard
2) Go to /system/app and press mount rw
3) remove Email.apk and Email.odex
4) move Email.apk from /sdcard/ to /system/app/
Then you need to setup your email again!
I had to clear the data also in applications -> email
Edit1:
your Email.apk is weird. When i reboot i get the notification that i need to set extra security. But when i press it nothing happends.
And after the email.apk the phone doesn't feel as smooth.. weird
Edit: removed Email.apk (modified) and wen't back to stock! phone is smooth again and works fine
May I ask why u use const/16 ?
const/4 goes from -8 to 8 (2^4) and should be preferred for small constants I think

const/4 has also a limited range of destination register numbers, and with the p-format in smali the mapping of p-registers to actual v-registers depends on the number of v-registers. It may happen that in the future more v-register are added, and an existing p-register does not fit in const/4 anymore. Using const/16 is thus more or less future proof.
This is awesome, it woks great
I am on KF1 and it works flawless push with no lag or so
I wonder what happened when we deleted the Email.odex and didn't replace it? we only replace the Email.apk
At first to all, I used tool "FroyoMailUnlocker" to generate my new mail.apk and it worked fine for SGSII on 2.2.3 and also on GT7100 on Honeycomb 3.0.1.
Only problem is that after flashing new OS it need to be installed again.
Does anybody what settings should/can be saved to have an easier restore of the mailbox setup (for my exchange and hotmail accounts)?
Frank
This looks very interesting, but please help me figure out if it will solve my problem:
I have complete security enforced by my work Exchange account.
I need to sync email and calendar with that account.
I want to be able to set a timeout delay to the PIN lock engagement (now it is on immediately as the screen goes black), and it would be nice to use swipe unlock instead of PIN/password.
Will this hack do the trick for me? If so, even with calendar sync?
Thanks!
/Edit: I use the standard email app and calendar om my SGS2
too bad
Hi,
in general I was searching for a long while for this!!!!
Now I have all done as decribed and once I try to create the exchange account it comes back with: "the server requires security settings which your phone dosn't support"
too bad...any ideas?
update:
now it's working...I'd to be patient..
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
Just to clarify the instructions here (I am noob):
After installing Android SDK, do I unzip the attachement on my PC or phone?
The shell commands, I type them in the adb shell with the phone in recovery mode, or what?
Thanks!
I've been using this hacked app in the past week or so, and it does great what it is supposed to do.
BUT: lately I wanted to see what is draining the battery so fast, and imagine the surprise when I saw that the biggest drainer by far is email.apk, far above the display itself, which is supposed to be the main consumer!!!
Is anyone else seeing this? Do you know about any resolution to this? For now, I just froze the application, but that's not acceptable, since one of the main uses of the phone is to sync up mail, calendar, etc with the corporate one.

Do you have push enabled on the account? Try disabling it (setting it to a pull every 15 mins for example).
I had the same issue (without this hack though!) on one of my Exchange accounts, and not using push fixed the issue. It must be an Exchange provider issue, because my work account uses push with no issues.
I don't use push - I have it set for every 1h check during the workday and every 12h for off hours.
I even have disabled all notifications from it...

Hmm I see. Well, if this hack introduces another possible battery draining culprit, I'm not so sure I want to try it. I've spent too much time identifying battery draining apps/processes on my new phone already.
Has anyone else experienced email.apk battery drain after applying this hack?
Me. My phone also slowed down!
There are many factors that may cause a slowdown, which I have no way to reproduce. I can only say that my company's Exchange server is 2003 and that it is the only non-google mail account that I have configured on my phone. I have push enabled. The hack works great with this setup, i.e. no slowdown of the phone, no extra battery drain.
If someone who is experiencing issues can post more details about the version of exchange, sync mode, and any other pop/imap mail accounts configured, I may be able to investigate the issue further.

I am running your modded Email.apk in a Galaxy Tab with Gingerbread (Overcome Hermes) and I have no problems with slowdowns or battery drain either. However I am always getting a FC from the mail application when rebooting the Tab. Afterwards it works correctly. I guess it's natural since it is not the native mail application.
I have tried to mod myself the native Gingerbread Email.apk from the Galaxy Tab using your posted code, but it does not work (FC continuously). Although very similar to the Galaxy S II mail application, there must be some differences that make it impossible to just blindingly use your modifications.
Would you be so kind as to have a look at the original Email.apk from the Tab Gingerbread Overcome firmware and suggest a possible mod? Thanks in advance.
Does anyone know if any of the kernels out so far have a working tun.ko for them? Or perhaps someone has a working module?
Check out CM7. I successfully used get-a-robot-vpnc on CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Incredible 2 INC2: V7.1.0-Beta1 (3 July 2011) which requires tun.ko to function.

Thanks! I'll check it out again. I put it on yesterday but it felt like it killed my battery quick even after tweaking the settings. I'll give it more time this time around.
Here is a stock kernel with TUN and CIFS modules.
Need to be S-OFF to install with clockworkmod.
Enjoy!!
*EDIT*
I suggest wiping the cache/dalvik cache before rebooting.
*EDIT AGAIN*
Pulled kernel - see my camera problem thread
Did some hacking and here is a tun.ko module for the stock GB sense ROM and doesn't break the camera! This worked on my device (RMK ROM).
Let me know if anyone has any problems insmod'ing it.
Thanks, Matt.
mattwood2000, would you mind sharing the steps you used to get tun.ko loaded? Did you simply copy to the system\lib\modules and run insmod?
I tried your earlier kernel and I too had the camera bug, however I was able to get vpn working with it. I am using the ROM located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166582. I was able to download before the thread was closed and it works great, no problems. I have been running it for a week. It did not include the social network apps but I just copied them from another Sense ROM.
Thanks in advance.
Thread moved to proper forum.
Yes just copy to /system/lib/modules if you want it to autoload from any application that calls it. You can always insmod it from the sedate for testing though.

Hi,
it's a lot of time that I'm lurking the forum, especially the cm7 and ICS cm9 thread. Thank you developers!
I was using cm7 rc 1.5 and everything was just fine. Finally I decided to try the latest stable. Wipe cache and installed. Restart (and pull out the battery ).
Everything it's working fine, but the wireless, that was working on the previous version. Here at the university I have to use peap/mschapv2.
I try to deleted the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf but nothing change. Actually after putting the information it looks like as before (but the priority):
Code:
ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
update_config=1
device_name=Motorola phone
manufacturer=Motorola
model_name=TI1271
model_number=1271
serial_number=012345
device_type=1-0050F204-1
os_version=80000000
network={
ssid="Wi-Fi_UniNa"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
identity="[email protected]"
password="password"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=1
}
The result is that under the settings --> wireless it just says "connecting" but it does not connect at all.
Catlog reports a lot of
Code:
wifi doCommand: ret=-1
I googled it, but I didn't find anything interesting.
Don't know if it works with other kind of connections. I will try as soon as possible and post the results.
Going back to rc 1.5 with a nandroid backup works good.
Here a full catlog (cannot put directly the link, new user)
pastebin.com/Hv1KWWVK
Do you have any kind of suggestion?
Thank you,
Peppe

So, the wifi works on a wpa-psk. Again, in the catlog there are lots of
Code:
wifi doCommand: ret=-1
so I guess this is not the problem.
Thanks,
Peppe
So it seems to be solved.
Yesterday, I first tried to copy the wpa_supplicant binaries from the rc 1.5, but nothing changed.
Then, I also copied the tiwlan_drv.ko (i.e. the driver of the wlan) and its firmware from Rc 1.5 and WORKED.
So to me it seems a bug of the wlan driver, though I didn't try to copy only the driver without copying the wpa_supplicant binaries.
I'd like to point out this to developers, but I don't know if they read this board (I cannot post on the dev board). What do you suggest?
Or should I use the github commits system?
Thank you,
Peppe
Could you maybe post a Link to the files from RC1.5 that you mentioned? Thanks

There is a zip archive, that contains different versions of wpa_supplicant. I didn't test that yet, but I think it could be worth trying which one works:

To me, it does not seem a problem of wpa_supplicant. Or at least, the driver has something to do with peap/mschapv2, since it was working with rc1.5 and not with the stable.
Though we have eduroam in our university, it never worked (with laptop too). I've never investigated really, since I don't use it.

I gave my Defy to my gf recently so I had extra motivation to fix those little annoyances. I found out that if you switch WPA settings from AES (or auto) to TKIP it doesn't disconnect like that anymore.

Hi,
this is just to say that the problem is still in CM 7.2 RC-0. This time I *just* copied the driver and the firmware from CM7 RC 1.5 and now it works.
Can someone test the peap-mschapv2?
If the bug is real, and to me it seems, can someone post this in the dev section / cm7 dev thread? I cannot (low number of posts).

Hello everyone, I just tried this, and non of them work, the wifi just turns its self off after about 15 seconds with these wpa_supplicant-s. When I put the original back, it works just the way it always has.
My problem is that eduroam and the university wireless which uses almost the same protocols as eduraom just don't work. Its constantly connecting and disconnecting.
The wpa_supplicant.conf has nothing to do with this because i tried copying it form a friends phone which also has android on it (can't remember which phone it was), the bottom line is: it works for him, and not for Defy users.
Could someone please upload the rc 1.5 wpa_supplicant and tiwlan_drv.ko, because the link for rc1.5 is dead.
Also could you mention where to place tiwlan_drv.ko
Hi gmcgmc,
I can confirm the PEAP/MSCHAPv2 issues.
Beingi able to use my universities EDUROAM-network stopped when I upgraded from stock firmware to CM7. With CM9 it doesn't work, too.
I checked the different wpa_supplicants available via the link DD23 posted, with no success. With one supplicant it didn't even try to connect, 'cause it didn't store the entered settings. With some of the other supplicants it began to connect, but got an error during authentification. Maybe next week I'll be able to post a log.
I will give the driver/firmware thing a try.
Regards
kadolf
Me too having a wifi issues with CM7.2 RC2, it was working with my CM7.1 RC1.5 but i installed CM9 after that and it stopped working...Can someone help me fixing this please.
Just to make a resume.
Stock rom and CM 7.1 RC 1.5 work good with mschapv2 (at least for me ) while CM 7.1 stable and CM7.2 RC* don't work.
To my experience wpa_supplicant has nothing to do with this, as copying the driver from RC 1.5 works.
The last time I copied the following files (my guessing is that actually just the first file is needed. But anyway I copied all of them)
tiwlan_drv.ko --> /system/lib/modules/
fw_tiwlan_ap.bin --> /system/etc/wifi
fw_tiwlan_ap_rfmd.bin --> /system/etc/wifi
The right procedure (for me) was:
Turn off wifi
Delete (or rename to keep your passwords) /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf (rename e.g. to wpa_supplicant.conf.bak)
Rename the old files you are going to write
Copy the files (I used adb, you can use whatever you like)
reboot
Now it should work. If you want use the old wpa_supplicant.conf just delete the new one and revert the ".bak" while the wifi is off.
By the way, the last trick works always when the wifi is stuck (i.e it doesn't see any network):
turn off the wifi
rename the wpa_supplicant.conf
turn on wifi and check that it sees networks
turn off wifi
revert wpa_supplicant.conf
turn on wifi --> finished
No need to reboot!
I've two questions:
1. Can someone test if it is needed just the first file? If so, we may (actually I don't know how...) create a flashable zip
2. Can someone post this on dev thread?
Bye,
Peppe
PS: I've uploaded the files.
Hi gmcgmc,
thanks for the files.
Unfortunately I can't test them until next monday.
If I have some results (may they be good or bad ones) I'll post it.

Ok.
I've made a bur report through cm bug tracker
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=5313
So I confirm the bug/issue under CM 7.2 RC3. Copying *just* tiwlan_drv.ko works.
Bye,
Peppe
wpa2 issue
solved
I tried it with just copying tiwlan_drv.ko - behavior like before.
Then I copied the two other files, too - doesn't work for me and it stopped working with open networks.
I'll try to restore the original WPA-Supplicant, because I've overwriten it a half year ago (while trying to solve the problem) and lost my backup.

How did you copied it? I tried with RootExplorer and it didn't work. I had to use adb (after remouning system in rw). Something like that
Code:
./adb push "tiwlan_drv.ko" /system/lib/modules/
And yes, restore the original wpa_supplicant.

The issue is still present in CM 7.2 Stable.

Hello all, I want to make my Evo talk thru tasker.
I tried on 3 roms already and none of them can make Tasker tts work. I get "Error - TTS: unsupported locale Hello" I'm using "Hello" as a test for now.
I tried on Deck's Gingerbread rom and Mik 3.0 and 3.1 and 2 of Nocturnal's Sense roms. All great roms.
Not much info on this issue on the web either. I did try installing "ivona text to speach" but did not work either.
Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?
Or what rom does tasker tts work on?

Have you installed the Speech Synthesis Data Installer from the Market and then run it to ensure you have the necessary TTS files installed on your device/SD card?
Thanks, that is the same advice I got from Tasker dev team. They mentioned SVOX. I looked it up and installed it. Installation is a 2 step process: 1st the svox engine then 2nd install the speech synthesis language to SD cards. Then in configurations I had to select "Always use my settings" rebooted and then selected Default Engine and rebooted again and viola it works. Now my EVO tells my little one to do their homework. Thanks Captain for your good advice also.
