[Q] DEVELOPERS, Need help to get VPN work (tun.ko)

Hi! I just created a tun.ko file for the current DK-Rom (Kernel 2.6.32.21-ge5a759b)
Here is an update-flash package with openvpn connection gui and tun.ko included.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CN3D0PRP
if i try to "insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko " i got an error: device / resource busy...
lsmod shows no tun.ko loaded...
Also tried before :
mkdir /dev/net
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
Anyone an idea ?

Maybe i found the problem. Need some free time to get the fix to work.
BUT , (Cisco) VPN-Pack is on the WAY for Wildfire Froyo

try cm7, tun.ko is included on the rom.. also the openvpn app.. i got it working

Thanks for the Information. I would like to get it work with my rom.

[DEV] Loadable Modules for Gingersense Incredible [Updated 9/18 - Support for OTA]

HTC released gingerbread via OTA but they did not support additional modules. This thread has flashable zips for both the leaked kernel and the one from the "OTA".
Added flashable modules to attachments that are flashable in recovery.
I have created a zip of some of the more useful modules for our device:
Code:
cpufreq_conservative.ko
cpufreq_smartass.ko (thanks Chad for the help here)
ext4.ko
jbd2.ko (necessary for me to load ext4)
tun.ko
perflock_disable.ko (I actually compiled this one a little different but confirmed it would load and not get the exec format error)
Update: Smartass is working now with assistance from chad in resolving those errors. Decided to not worry about interactive for now.
Further information:
If you don't use the CWM flashable zip you will need to load perflock_disable a special way as it needs to be called with a special parameter to make it work correctly. Try adding below to a script. Credit to Calkulin for the script.
Code:
if [ -e /system/lib/modules/perflock_disable.ko ]; then
insmod /system/lib/modules/perflock_disable.ko
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Perflock DISABLED"
else
addr=`awk '$3 == "perflock_notifier_call" { print "0x"$1; }' /proc/kallsyms`
if [ -n "$addr" ]; then
insmod /system/lib/modules/perflock_disable.ko "perflock_notifier_call_addr=$addr"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Perflock DISABLED"
else
echo "ERROR!!! Perflock could NOT be DISABLED"

Calkulin for the module load script
anyone else who inspired me (apologize if I forgot)
I have attached a zip file to this. If you are not a dev you can still use the modules here but some basic ADB/terminal knowledge would be needed. The modules are open for testing though.
Attached zip files and CWM-flashable zip files for both OTA and leak-based ROMs.
inc_modules.zip - Just the loadable modules.
inc_modules_ota.zip - just the loadable modules - OTA-based ROMS (August leak)
inc_modules_ota_091811.zip - just the loadable modules - OTA-based ROMS (actual OTA from September)
inc_modules_CWM_flashable.zip - flashable zip that will also autoload modules at boot.
inc_modules_ota_CWM_flashable.zip - flashable zip that will also autoload modules at boot - OTA-based ROMS (August leak)
inc_modules_ota_091811_CWM_flashable.zip - flashable zip that will also autoload modules at boot - OTA-based ROMS (Actual OTA from September)

I'm glad some one took this up I had been wondering the same thing since HTC opened the dev section. I had found another site that had a more extensive write up on how to build kernels but I'm not very fluent in linux and was a little intimidated at trying. At least I now know that it can be done. Maybe we can get Chad to try and port it over?

Awesome. A ray of hope.

Good job Tiny! I know someone was just asking for a tun.ko module and now I can't remember who it was. Hopefully they see your post.

I'm trying to add more existing modules but my compiler treats warnings as errors so it won't build. Chad, if you see this post, any advice here?

I actually got them to build but they won't load still. I will play around with it more.

This is awesome. I was hoping for a tun.ko module! Now, do I just grab these and drop then in system/lib/modules and they should just work? Or are there steps I need to take to make them work? (I am honestly only concerned with the tun.ko)

oh wow this is incredible great job tiny!!! and the reason you probably cant get those other governors to work is because htc released an uncomplete source

Just drop in the ones you want and run insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko for tun.ko. You will have to do it at boot each time or get the dev to write an init.d script to load it.

Joel,
No, just one script should work. I believe Synergy ROM already has the init.d script for some of them. See 00cpufreq_modules in /system/etc/init.d
All,
Updated OP with latest zip file. If you have downloaded previously, redownload to get the latest.

would it be likes this?

The first line should be:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
and it needs to have execute permissions or it won't execute. Also make sure to save it in UNIX format. I would also add the smartass module as it is quite popular. To test type lsmod from adb or terminal after boot. Hope this helps.

Exactly!
Then just make a line for each module.
EDIT: Though you could just write it like this:
Code:

insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
Though to be safe and to make sure you are running that particular insmod command you can leave it the way you have it.

[GT-P6800][3g]cifs.ko - module

Cifs.ko module for galaxy tab 7.7 for stock galaxy kernel.
EDIT - pinkowl has updated the cifs module with nls_utf8 support.
Please see use his updated download link from post 12.
cheers
Should allow mounting of windows/samba shares.
from terminal (connectbot, script etc)
$ insmod cifs.ko (where you saved cifs.ko path)
Please could you test. For me it is working. however a few issues:
but video players stutter but so far bs player lite works best me for media network streaming.
edit - is it down to poor wifi performance - however same files play fine over http streaming from nas!
so proper dev required to looked into performance issues.
Using cifs manager to mount share & es explorer free edition allows you to copy to root etc.

Looks good to me ~8mins for 501M (what are you aiming for?):

Awesome - worked perfectly with the root pack from this forum as well.
Now.... do you have tun.ko for this tab as well please?
Ive found a couple of versions - but they have not been compiled for this rom from the looks and do not load correctly.
Is the tun.ko file available at all yet?

Did another run with some optimisations:
Locked router to N mode instead of mixed
Discovered busybox cp poor performer, used /system/bin/cat instead
Tried kernel setting on
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_low_latency
Which definitely helps my ssh session, but not sure much impact on this test.

All files intact, I think your module is good, I think kernel tcp params or wireless may need tweaks as suspected in wireless problem thread.

thanks for sharing the cifs.ko module.
willl you be kind enough to teach me how to get my Windows 7 home premium hooked with cifs?
i tried and search the www and the closest solution i had is to view my shared folder using Ghostcommander with SMB plugin.
however, i cannot mount the share drive as a folder using either
cifsmanager or mount manager
i have tried to do regedit in my Win7 home premium since there is not "local security policy" program for this version of Win7.

Sorry for disturb
Plz, can anybody tell me what is this and how to use it?

i got an error when i add the iocharset=utf8 in the option at cifs manager, how can i make it use utf8?

I place this file in root directory of my sd card.
use terminal emulator program and type
insmod /mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko
but I got
insmod: init_module '/mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko' failed (Operation not permitted)
what should i do

The issues with video playback is not really with cifs, but with caching done by the players.
Typically, a player streaming over http expects a long delay and will use a larger buffer. Playing over cifs, the player will think it's locally stored and no buffer is necessary. That lack of buffer is causing the problems.

I have compiled the nls_utf8.ko module as well as recompilied the module cifs.ko for those of you that needs it. Files are attached in this post.
This is for the stock kernel from the LA2 firmware which I am using. If you are using the stock kernel from Samsung, this should work for you.
If this helps you, pls click on the "thanks" link.

Thanks for this module. I've known about cifs but never tried it before. Now I thought I'd give it a go and it's great. Had a few initial noob problems but now all OK. And using Cifs Manager makes mounting my NAS a breeze.
I can watch all my 720p video files stored on my NAS. Using BS player as suggested by ezynow.. Thanks ezynow!

Thank
Tested ,work well .

Nice one - i will update the main thread & creditation to you for this

Thanks a lot for these modules. I use them to access shares on my home network.
I found only one small problem accessing shares on my Windows 7 x64 host. If I use iocharset=utf8 as a parameter I can see the segmentation fault message when trying to mount a share from this host. Without iocharset parameter it works ok (apparently all unicode filenames are not shown correctly)
Exactly the same setup works fine with shares from my router and unicode filenames are displayed correctly.

Can you rebuild this for ICS, please?

You can't rebuild this until Samsung release the ICS source code used to compile the kernel. Hopefully they do so soon but I am not holding my breath.

New kernel released. Can anyone compile cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko?

[Q] Need Help With Wifi Tethering/Portable Hotspot [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
i need some help with wifi tethering/Portable Hotspot
right now i using CM7.2 GINGERBREAD V10 (ALFS kernel V7 ICS) with ALFS V7 ICS kernel.
As i read in the CM7.2 thread, i install Wifi Tether attach in post #2,
i start the wifi tether, and it say, "start with error, please check the log" or something like that
Please check the attachment for the log.
What did i do to solve this problem :
Start Fresh, Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, format system
install stock ROM + Kernel (E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_RU.ftf) using flash tool,
and Install NAA kernel 11 + MiniCM7-2.1.9 (As i read NAA + miniCM rom support Native GB hotspot) - The result is : when i start Portable Hotspot it start ok, connecting ok, but cannot browse the web, in the laptop it says "DNS ERROR"
So i flash again ALFS V7 ICS kernel over NAA and flash CM7.2 GINGERBREAD V10,
trying again with wifi tether and no luck
My Question :
1. What happen with my phone? is this something i do wrong when flashing?
2. Is it possible the carrier/operator blocking Tethering?
3. Is there someway to solve this problem?
Please note :
1. Before i was successful starting Portable Hotspot with NAA kernel, but because a2sd error i think i try to start fresh with NAA kernel + MiniCM rom, n thats when this problem occurs
2. I can connect to wifi or Adhoc wifi with no problem
Thanks Guys n sorry for the bad english

Looking at the two screenshots where you got errors reported it would seem as the wireless tether thingy doesn't find the required kernel modules, although they should be part of both kernels you mentioned - though I'm not sure if the "CM7.2 GINGERBREAD V10" ROM is compatible with Alfs.
I would ask in either Alfs' or nAa's thread about what may be wrong here; from my viewpoint it's missing modules that should be part of the kernel already.

hi... thanks for ur reply
can we check it? i mean for the module?
maybe we can look on a folder n check that the module is there or not?
for the CM7.2 GB V10 ROM, i think it only using ALFS Kernel (ALF V7 ICS), so it should be compatible.
i really like to post on the NAA and ALFS thread but as u can see, iam lack of post

Errr.... no, you won't find the modules as files - they should be compiled into the kernel (hence "part of it")
What you can try is to look into this thread, though that modules shouldn't be needed on Alfs or nAa, just on stock kernel.
However, if it works afterwards it might be worth trying.

i check n read the link above, n i think i just jump to
"You can use iptables executable now and check if works:" Part :
because like u say, this module should be part of the kernel, n if i flash the kernel right, the module should be there, dont u think.

Only this one is different from the result expected
-----------------------------------------------------------------
so what do you think ? the module is there? n why is the last command result is different?

Well, the last output you got HAS to be different because "nf_conntrack" reads, fully spelled: Net Filter Connection Tracker
This means the nf_conntrack in /proc/net shows entries of connections currently established on your phone (outgoing and incoming).
It actually looks like as if the modules are in the kernel (as they should) - otherwise you would have gotten a error message from iptables.
Now don't ask me why the "tethering-update" ZIP from Alfs won't work or why nAa's tethering doesn't like you...

just last question B.Jay, if it's ok with u,
1. is there a possibility something wrong with superuser?
thanks for ur help B.Jay

Don't think so, you were able to run "su" commands in the terminal.
Just check with some app that requires superuser rights ... like Titanium Backup or Root Explorer ... when they get su granted then Superuser should work.

Anyway i figure it out, it is my carrier/operator
i tried to change sim card from different operator n
the tethering works really good
i dont know what they do, but i cannot change proxy, i cannot change DNS, and i cannot use wifi tethering/portable hotspot
but at least the problem solved thanks to B.Jay for helping me

On mini+nAa wifi tether works really good

[ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch For B&N Nook Tablet

DISCLAIMER: You should know by now that anything you do can and probably does void warranties, can and may brick your devices, etc etc yada yada.... This is my first ever attempt at a port, second ROM to ever build. The base for this is CM10.1 maintained by the official devs for the B&N Nook Tablet (acclaim), so complete props to everyone who has gone looney to get us here. This port isn't very usable and as such is no daily driver by any means.
I will try to explain the details of building as best as I can remember to anyone who wants to know. I had to comment out certain lines here and there and add my changes below them. Being new to this all, I have yet to set up a git for the sources. I just wanted to get this up as I haven't seen anyone else post this for Nook Tablet. From what I know, this should work for the 8g and 16g as this is based off the Official CM10.1 for us. Again, your risk, there are plenty of ways to unbrick this device and plenty of guides.
Discussion thread:
[ROM][DISCUSSION] Ubuntu Touch B&N Nook Tablet
For those of you just wanting to take it for a spin:
(name change as I am building using two different sets of repos, one with only a local branch based off the cm repos, and my own that I will push updates to)
Download Device Specific Build:
Build 5: ut-cm-20130610-acclaim.zip - 35.72 MB
Older Builds:
(The following builds screen displays stop working for newer Ubuntu fs builds)
Build 4: ubuntu_touch-20130529-acclaim.zip - 35.54 MB
Build 3: ubuntu_touch-20130524-acclaim.zip - 34.94 MB
Build 2: ubuntu_touch-20130513-acclaim.zip - 34.90 MB
Build 1: ubuntu_touch-20130511-acclaim.zip - 34.90 MB
Download Ubuntu FS File:
Saucy is the new Raring
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/
Installation:
1) put both files on your sdcard by your method of choice
2) go into recovery
3) format data/factory reset <-- NOTE: If you want to save data, new builds should backup stuff, not sure what all though.
4) format system to ensure clean install
5) flash Custom build and flash Ubuntu fs file
6) reboot and pray it works.
After boot up notes:
- May have to push power button to get initial display.
-To get a chroot shell from your computer's terminal:
Code:
$ adb root
$ adb shell
$ ubuntu_chroot shell
- Keyboard does not currently work on Home screens. In Raring I would restart ubuntu-session. I do not see it in Saucy. 2013-06-15: playing around and starting the 'killprocs' service, keyboard worked afterwards.
Code:
[email protected]:/# service killprocs start
- Wifi seems to need a reboot to work correctly currently
- Added a script to change the display size.. If you do not like it or want to mess around with it, you can adjust the display through the chroot by editing the acclaim.conf file. After editing, reboot.
Code:
/etc/ubuntu-session.d/acclaim.conf
Build notes!
Build 5:
- Updated ubuntu sources, resulting display seems fixed for newer builds! (circa June 1st or maybe a little sooner)
- Honestly not sure atm if build 4 has it, but added a script to auto fix the display size (adds acclaim.conf for you), Saucy images seem to not require a reboot, Raring images do (or an ubuntu-session restart).
Build 4:
- Using wpa_supplicant 8 instead of 8_TI
Build 3:
- Wifi works with some terminal junk!
Build 2:
- Videos stopped working for some reason, need to debug.
- Apps no longer force close
- Wifi still down
Build 1:
- It boots
- Display works
- Sound Works
- Videos Work
- No wifi
- All apps force close after a couple of seconds
- No rotation
I'm new to all this git stuff, but figured I'd try it out:
https://github.com/dejello/android_device_bn_acclaim
https://github.com/dejello/android_kernel_bn_acclaim
I will be adding a wiki or readme on the device repo that shows dependencies and other edits needed to build your very own.

Build 2! and some pics...

THIS POST IS NO LONGER REQUIRED, but kept for informational purposes
Updated - Build 3 now up!
Wifi seems to be working with some terminal junk. I followed this page as a reference after figuring out the wlan module wasn't being loaded: http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/Mac80211_based_open_source_architecture#Procedure_to_build_WLAN_and_test_on_Ubuntu_FS
NOTE: The module is apparently being unloaded after a while, possibly to do with going to sleep, not sure atm. If you have installed the terminal core app you can get back online without plugging back in..
I did the following commands and checked the browser and I was online!
Code:
[email protected]:/ # adb shell
[email protected]:/ # ubuntu_chroot shell
[email protected]:/# sudo mount -t proc proc /proc

Notice: It did not show wl12xx_sdio - which has wlan0.

Note: "tinyguest" is my test guest network with no security atm, insert the SSID of your network. I have not tested yet to see if this will work with security on.
Not sure how stable everything is, but hey, it's a dev preview so
UPDATE: I just had a realization.... After insmoding wl12xx_sdio.ko and bring the wlan0 up, I simply restarted the network manager service and now the gui shows up! I do need to check my wpa_supplicant file as I had been playing with it. <-- Fine unedited. I am also running a new minidroid build compiled using wpa_supplicant 8 vs wpa_supplicant 8_TI that I have yet to upload. I will need to see if this has any effect. I was having an issue compiling the TI version and was getting annoyed trying to figure it out New commands are as follows:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # adb shell
[email protected]:/ # ubuntu_chroot shell
[email protected]:/# insmod /system/lib/modules/wl12xx_sdio.ko
[STRIKE][email protected]:/# ifconfig wlan0 up[/STRIKE] <-- DIdn't even up it this past time, seems that restarting the network-manager service up's it.
[email protected]:/# service network-manager restart
Will be updating this post and adding a pic..

Doing great . Keep up. And why not tranfering it to nt dev thread?

Thanks nothing in comparison to what you've been up to lately though. I probably should see about getting this thread moved over shouldn't I....

I'm really excited, I hope your project takes off in a big way
I admit to confusion, though - you say the base of this is the great work done on cm10.1 nightlies by the devs here, so is this actually ubuntu touch, or a skin over android? I'm not being critical, just looking to understand.
Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply, yes, currently Ubuntu Touch is running in a chroot on a mini build of android.
Other notes, today I started trying to figure out what exactly breaks the display on the newer ubuntu fs images.
dmesg shows ubuntu-session terminating with: "terminated with status 139". I still have an image from May 24th that works, and upon updating libplatform-api1-hybris or ubuntu-platform-implmentation-android (both of which will install the other) the display breaks with ubuntu-session terminating with: "terminated with status 127" or depending on what I've done ocassionally some other error.
More searching to follow....
UPDATE: see Build 5 notes, I hadn't fully updated my ubuntu sources apparently Display seems to work now!
PS - the git stuff isn't current atm, but the edits should still work. the wiki dealio needs work.

You say build 5 should fix the display not showing? I tried it and the "Current" Saucy phablet image and got nothing.
I'm about to try the Raring image and see if it works...

Nope...Saucy bootloops...I don't know how to get a logcat through fastboot, will look it up...

there was a period recently where they were breaking things alot with changes... I have a working version I can upload, but if they update hybris and/or the platform-api again it'll break until i update the build.

Nook HD?
Great work! Any idea if you might get around to making a similar build for the Nook HD/HD+?

That is in my plans as I just got the HD+, not sure just yet as to when.. I need to pm verygreen or someone else and see what all I need to build cm10.1 first as I am missing something. Once I get a working build I will work on Ubuntu.

Ok, seems I just wasn't paying attention.. Replaced the boot image in the zip with the apparent non-sdcard version >.> CM10.1 booted so I will work on a build in a bit. For the moment though the tv is calling me

Are you planning non starting a new thread for ubuntu on the HD+?

Not sure atm.. If not I will update the title of this one

So... if the Ubuntu will be available for HD+, changing a pair of things would make it for HD, is it correct?
Thank you!

I would love this on my Nook HD (not HD+), I have ubuntu installed on all of my systems and love it over windows.

Once I get working builds again (with the new stuff they've added for booting) I will build one for the HD for which I will need testers as I do not have an HD. Honestly did not really work on it today as I am really tired. Looks like I managed to get that one build in before they added this stuff.
