[Q]how to build a working tun.ko for GB - Droid X General

Although the kernel version in GB remain the same compared to 2.2.1, however, the old tun.ko no longer loadable by insmod, any thoughts we can build a working tun.ko for GB rom? GB rom has many killing features that i don't want to go back to the old time

[Q] Honeycomb v4 dalingrin cifs modules?

I installed the Honeycomb Preview from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947071 and it's working great for me so far.
However, I'm trying to find the cifs modules for the kernel but I can't find them. I'm not even sure which of dalingrin's kernels is in that image. I tried flashing a few of his other kernels but each time it wouldn't boot and I had to do a boot repair. Does anyone know where to get the cifs modules or even which kernel that image has? I'd even prepare the modules myself if I knew where to start. Thanks!
The last of Dalingrins HC kernel is from 022511.
http://coachz.inetpro.org/~dalingrin/nook/kernels/022511/
As for your actual question about cifs support, I have no idea man
Also, port wise, that build is fairly old. Have a look at Divine_Madcat's multi-device mashup http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062626

[Q] Nightlies, build numbers and dates?

I've been scratching my head figuring out which combination of versions of CM7 and Dalingrin OC kernel to use and I've been getting confused because different people use different words to describe versions: build number, nightly number, date.
Can someone please confirm whether I've worked it out right:-
build number (example: 2.6.32) means the Barnes and Noble stock kernel version on which CM7 or Dalingrin is based
Nightly number (example Nightly 113) means the version of CM7
Date (example 042411) means the version of the Dalingrin OC kernel
Given noob tutorials often mention both CM7 and the OC kernel it would be really nice if the way versions are numbered was clear...
I'll try, though I'm a noob myself...
linux kernel version: either 2.6.29.x or 2.6.32.x
CM7 hasn't been on 2.6.29 since nightly 86 (or so). So any CM7 > nightly 90 is 2.6.32. This includes the most recent update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-encore-signed.zip.
nightly number
This is simply the nth build of CM7 on a (mostly) nightly basis. The full list can be seen at:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore
date of Dal OC file
This is simply the date he releases a new build. As far as I know, these aren't explicitly tied to any particular CM7 nightly build, so long as the kernel aspects are compatible. This means, use a recent CM nightly (100+) and a recent OC kernel and you should be fine.
Just an observation for others that may be reading...
Dalingrin seems to releases builds in groups of 4:
These are for users of the stock BN 1.2 ROM that have been MN'ed. -sd for folks that are running the stock from sdcard, emmc for those running from internal.
Froyo1.2-sd
Froyo1.2-emmc
These are for users CM7. -sd for folks that are running from sdcard, emmc for those running from internal.
CM7-sd
CM7-emmc
I hope this helps.
Cheers

Custom ROMs on official gingerbread

Hi all,
For everyone asking about custom roms ont 2.3.4 here is the situation :
For everyone who have upgraded the MS2 to the Official 2.3.4, no step back is possible to Froyo 2.2 or 2.2.2.
custom ROMs based on Froyo will not work (like CM7/9 from Tezet.)
=> Someone will have to build on based on the 2.3.4 kernel.
custom ROMs based on Chinese GB seems to work...
=> MS2Ginger for exemple.
custom ROMS based on Defy+ ROMs ?
So, who want that the CM or MIUI ROMs are ported to the newer Motorola kernel ? (So everyone could choose between BLUR, CM and others ?)
I say it on an other thread that the ms2ginger and the argen2stone roms are running on an ms2 with stock gb rom. Somebody must make an cm7 with the 2.3 kernel than wie can use customroms.
thanks for your thread.
But my question is, this official rom 2.3.4 does work better than froyo? or the custom rom 2.3.7 de CM7? It might be a dumb question or it's answered in another thread, if that case sorry.
Thanks
Yes i want Miui with the new kernel ! For a better touchsreen sensitivity for eg.
I try Argen2Stone 2.7 RE but i dont see adjust scrips and keep the old dialer from stock rom.
The 2.3.4 brings some bug fixes, and some upgrades.
From the kernel point of view, the same release is used (Linux Kernel 2.6.32.9). So no major bug fixes at kernel level for my point of view. Maybe some parameters changed.
The main point is for the "upgraders" to Gingerbread that can't go back to Froyo.

I tryed to flash MS2Ginger but the MS2 doesn't turn on.
I don't know.
could Anyone post how to flash step by step ?
tks
I think that the new kernel can improve MS2 performace so a rom based on the new kernel it's much better than the old modded rom.

I have the same idea...waiting for some MIUI or CM7 based on this new kernel.
I'd like someone who knows what they are doing to de-blur it. I have removed as much as I dare but still have too much moto... rubbish on the phone.
yeah agreed with u guys i wish a custom rom based on new gb 2.3.4

or new FR
is true. I think it's time to leave the kernel of froyo that is old and start to compile with the new kernel brings improvements and is of GB!
GB kernel is in fact the same linux kernel version as froyo kernel, so there are not any improvements except for some minor patches.... So no reason to leave froyo.
I just don't get why you all guys updated to GB and then you all crying, you can't use custom roms and that froyo kernel is old and why gingerbread isn't used... GB kernel in custom roms isn't high priority in dev right now. Deal with it. GB kernel don't bring any valuable improvements, so only reason to leave froyo and get in GB are you all, who did that mistake and upgraded to official GB without even reading the forum here (because it was already written so many times there...).
No offense please, I'm just sayin' that GB kernel in custom roms don't have high priority, because of missing downgrade capability and because they don't bring nothing so exciting and big or valuable, nothing worth. So when dev update to GB, he can't go back to froyo - and this is quite big limitation...
Actually CM9 does work over Euro GB kernel. It is based on Chinese GB kernel. And I must say Tezet has made some really good progress with CM9.
And Defy ROMs based on Defy+ kernel have also been proved to work on Euro GB kernel.
These ROMs work if we remove devtree.img and boot.img from the update.zip and thus only flash system.
So I guess it is only a matter of time.

No crying here, just discussion, which is what the forum is for. What was your point?
may be it's better to find a way to downgrade.

I think I said my point clearly... But once again then:

And don't take my words too personal. Easy man, easy...
Sometimes it's cool to have stock ROM. But,it will be much cooler if we can switch to custom ROM's. Stock ROMs are slower and less free RAM than CM7 or MIUI. Now,I'm getting bored with MS2Ginger2.1.
All we have to do is just wait..
hi, did anyone manage to overclock after updated to stock 2.3?
android overclock doesn't work anymore after i updated

ICS. Should I?

Hey guys!
I am running CM7 Typhoon atm.. but I want to try ICS. Wondering if the builds are good/stable enough to be a daily driver? Is it worth upgrading now or wait till later?
Cheers
I think yes, but just for try it. ICS right now for HD2 is very unstable.
Yersterday we had got new version of Typhoon. I've been using it since I bought my HD2.
IMHO
i too am running the newest typhoon and am slightly interested in the new ICS builds. besides it being currently unstable, what other issues are there with ICS? I'M under the assumption that not all apps are compatible with it, or they dont fully function.
i'm all for waiting until everything is a little smoother, and i do follow the progress to an extent. i was just wondering about the current status of where is it now before i'd update.
Already on ICS
There are a few good options...
My requirement was a working camera. This took a little while but the Devs are great and I now have a good camera and working ICS CM9
I decided to try it with the SD build for TyTungs port of CM9.
Is it perfect, not yet, but I have not booted back to CM7 since I booted up CM9.
I am going to wait for one or two updated before going in with the NAND build but the SD build is great if you are using MAGLDR and can run the dual boot options.
Check out this forum for NAND details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
and this one for SD details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437463
Big Thanks to CyanogenMod and TyTung for all their work
Note: TyTung also was working on a AOSP version of ICS. I am note sure but it looks like he may have droped the AOSP in favour of CM9.
I relly like the CMx OS's and like CM7, CM9 has added CM functionality and options. You can see that CM9 is still being worked on in the menus in that there are a number of place holders in the menu, that do not yet have functionality, but the core ICS4.0.3 is working.
Good luck All,
To my mind there is no good enough ics rom(for today) for everyday's using.
Best was miui 4 works smooth, battery life is good but in my region rom doesn't see sim card...
Dev's have much work to do.
I would definitely suggest trying a SD rom first to get an idea of what it's like.

GT-I9000B - Kernel + Root + CWM

Hi friends, I searched some foruns with information: How Can I do Root + CWM Recovery on GT-I9000B, but I found only old methods.
Can anyone help me by sending a complete "step-by-step" on how to do this?
After that, someone recommends a specific rom that is stable?
Thanks
Sorry for bad english!
Nobody help me?
Im in the same problem.
It depends on which version of android you are using. I'm using Gingerbread, so the option I use is Mafalda 0.9.4 kernel. It WAS a great Kernel,. but I think it's a bit old since there are several new versions of android since the kernel was made (It's based on Android GB 2.3.3... now we are on 2.3.6)
Another option is talon kernel but it's even older...
For ICS you can use official version from google (the one that uses the ICSSGS 4.2 mod) or the much better Semaphore kernel ported by f4k for our Galaxy S I9000B.
Anyway, I'm at GB 2.3.6, so if you know about any UPDATED KERNEL please notify me.
Good luck!
