Any one point me in the direction of getting cifs working please?

Do you running Android 4.2?
If you do, it is the same problem as everyone else has with mounting.
I already written about that. But it is not really a solution... The apps need to be changed.

Yeah 4.2.1. Thanks for the reply, ill take a look.

Run the following command (requires busybox). It will tell you if the current kernel was built with CIFS support or not.
Code:
$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CIFS

been using es explorer to mount my smb drives, found that it was one of the only ones that would allow me to "stream" or "open with" other video programs
cifsmanager would be nice if your shares support it (available on playstore) but you have to have a cifs enabled kernel, which i think the development thread has. this would allow you to use any filemanager you want
other programs to test:
mount manager
movie browser hd for tablet
Apply the cifs kernel patch and use cifs manager to mount your share to /storage/sdcard0/share/ then your apps will index your remote drive( for music and such)

Would you please tell us how to do this? I have been searching around the Nexus 7 forums for several days trying to find out how to enable CIFS. I want to do this with the STOCK rom. I do not want to use a custom rom. Is this possible? I am okay with unlocking my bootloader/rooting the device.
Where is the cifs kernel patch? I saw one kernel in the development forum that enables CIFS, but I do not know if that kernel will work with the stock OS.
If anyone can help me understand this I would be grateful.

Looking for a new rom.....

Does anyone know of a rom that has the ability of pen testing wifi? Or if not, a good or rom that offers good performance and that would be able to loop backtrack?

you can run backtrack 5 natively or chroot it but even if you do the pentesting abilities such as aircrack-ng wont work theres an app for dosing in the marketplace to test wifi strength ;( I've tried workarounds but hadn't fount one
any rooted rom pretty much will allow you to run Ubuntu or backtrack 5 natively but you have to sacrifice your recovery as for now I'm currently running the latest Ubuntu natively and its not bad not a PC experience but not bad at all
page 36 of this thread has the guide you need 8gigs free of internal memory

The problem I am running into is that when I try to run the bootbt file in the terminal it tells me what you see in the picture
I have been trying to find a way to get through this part... I have busybox installed like it says, but I don't see the bash file

running it natively is way better than chrooting it but i ran into the same problem when i first tried chroot backtrack i just flashed a new rom and it worked:good:
Got any specific names for roms? I want to look into some. I think I need a different boot loader though.... let the fun begin.

WhatsApp on my nexus 7

Hello everyone, I know there are thousands of these WhatsApp topics out here. I tried almost every possible method to get it to work. I want to install WhatsApp on bluestacks and back it up with titanium backup. The WhatsApp installation on bluestacks is fine, but I can't get the program to be rooted. I tried it with instructions from another topic on XDA. I followed every step from the guide but it isn't rooted. Reinstalling doesn't work either...

Yes. Root checker also says I don't have root.
I used pre rooted files I found on this forum, just copied them to the blue stacks android folder. Do I have to do something else after copying root.fs and initrd.img (or something)?

Is lagfix safe for Asus Nexus 7?

My Nexus 7 is starting to lag. Is "lagfix" (fstrim) safe to use on an Asus Nexus 7?
I should have added that this is a rooted Nexus 7 using stock 4.2.2.
Thank you.

I don't see why not.
Should be fine, Fstrim isn't a device specific thing, it's an OS specific thing.
Since you are running stock, you should be fine.
Do a backup to be safe.
Peace,

Works fine on mine (ParanoidAndroid).
Thank you both. I asked because of the warnings that come with it..
I used it and it got rid of my lag.
One related question if I may. The default setting (which I used) does not include /system. Would that be because it is dangerous to use it on /system?
Thank you again.

I also can confirm that it work fine on my nexus 7 too.

It might be, but since /system is "read only", there wouldn't be much point to doing an fstrim on it in any case.
Thank you. Interesting and explains why /system is not selected by default.

Locked bootloader with fly-on mod?

Just was curious if others have tried it? I just got it working on mine everything seems to be working. Haven't used it long enough yet to be certain of improvement but my entropy values are definitely looking good

What ROM are you running this on? I ask because if there isn't Init.d support on the ROM, then you need to add it before using Fly-On. I use Fly-on with Slim on all of devices and I love it.
Stock rooted 98.18.94 and I used a different mod I found here on xda to enable init.d support... I forgot what it was called but as all I had to do was run an app
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
Yeah, I probably used that same mod to enable init.d when I was running a stock ROM for a while.
