Hi guys,
Just a quick little guide on how to fix the wi-fi and bluetooth issues on the official cm11 nightlies!
You find the official cm11 a bit laggy? you thought it would be a great idea to install williams kernel V2? after installation you noticed that it runs so much better and are really happy with it till you notice that wi-fi and bluetooth aren't working? Well here is a simple fix for that!
Steps:
1: download these 2 files: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4hs22pjkn03m6/CM11_Nightly_Modules_Wifi_&_Bluetooth (credit goes to @alcatraz999902)
2: navigate to system/lib/modules and delete wlan.ko and scsi_wait_scan.ko
3: copy the files you downloaded earlier (wlan.ko and scsi_wait_scan.ko) to system/lib/modules
4: change the permissions to rwrr:
A: you can use file explorers like es file explorer to change the perms (rwrr 644)
B: you can also open a terminal, mount your system as rw (mount -o rw,remount /system) and cd to /system/lib/modules then type these 2 commands:
chmod 644 wlan.ko
chmod 644 scsi_wait_scan.ko
5: reboot your device
6: Enjoy official cm nightlies with working wi-fi and bluetooth!
Wow many thanks, mate!! I didn't know what was happening to the wifi. Now I can even solve it.
By the way, when you update a nightly, you need to readjust options like in built kernel mpdecision or reinstall optimized qcom's and all that stuff?
Cheers!
It does not work CM11 Official
it must work, you did mistake somewhere

I suppose that's not a fix for wpa problems?
(since a long time, wifi doesn't work on WPA in cyanogenmod... only work with wep or wpa2)
But anyway, thanks for sharing
PS: Saloperie de freeboxV5.
What about new NyakKernel? I tried it but it doesn't work. Official CM, latest nightly.
tnx so much

A noob question support. Is there a CIFS support in the 2.6.32.21-gbe90714 kernel or a suitalbe cifs.ko file that one could use with the Cifsmanager app?
I am a bit lost here. I downloaded the DHD kernel source released, but had no luck locating the cifs.ko file. And I have no idea how to compile one myself. Can someone pinpoint me in the right direction?
update:
found some instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783117 so I will see if I can get it working
update 2:
i have been able to build cifs.o (no cifs.ko was produced ) from the kernel provided by HTC, but it fails with insmod. The problem might be (besides that I have only a vague idea what am I doing) that the downloaded kernel is 2.6.32-g5ed1769 and my phone is running kernel 2.6.32-gbe90714.
Also compiling the kernel ends with this error
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `drivers/input/touchscreen/ntrig.o', needed by `drivers/input/touchscreen/built-in.o'. Stop.
Thats where I got stuck.
I have attached the file cifs.o produced.

I placed in DEV since it deals with kernel compilation. Maybe it should be moved to theme and apps as I am trying to get Cifsmanager app working on DHD.
Small update: I have managed to get a cifs.ko from kernel 2.6.32.17 from G2 partially working. I have HEX edited the file and changed to my kernel version.
I can insmod the file and mount drive without a problem. I can than access the mounted drives a browse the folders, but when I try to open the file I get an error.
I do not seem to be able to find a 2.6.32.21 kernel compiled cifs.ko which I believe might work with HEX updating "-gbe90714".
*push*
looking for the right cifs.ko as well :\ would be really nice to be able to mount cifs shares without custom rom...
anyone got CIFS working on stock ROM?
CIFS working on 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d
here is a working cifs.ko for DHD kernel 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d
Code:
su
insmod slow-work.ko
insmod cifs.ko
insmod nls_utf8.ko
It's a hex edited and --strip-debug cifs to educe file size of the version from MikeMelbourne. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9780217&postcount=7
Works fine on my DHD (samba access and video playback with V Player).

Thanks for this, it works fine when I insmodded all the .ko's you zipped (that I placed in system/lib/modules/). On reboot though I cannot use cifs manager unless I insmod again. Do I need to insmod everytime i reboot?

I understand the hex edit - would you mind telling me how you did the --strip-debug - I'd like to do the same.
They were compiled on a headless PII 400 MHz running Ubuntu Edgy Eft server.

You just need to have the android ndk, which I supposed you have since you have bee able to compile the kernel. So just run
Code:
/path/to/android-ndk-r4b/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-strip --strip-debug /path/to/cifs.ko
you have to modify the path to cifs.ko a and android-ndk-r4b
I have bee trying to compile the kernel my self on kubuntu, but always finished with an error, so I just ended up hexediting other files.
Thanks for your files. I have been waiting for a working samba mount to stream my videos from NAS!!

I am afraid it has to be insmoded every time on boot. You can automate it with Gscript or Tasker apps.
Thanks @Nxtwrld for the strip-debug advice. The HTC kernel never compiled with my phone's config.gz - after each failed compile I would have to edit .config and disable the item responsible for the build failure. I ended up compiling the module by itself.

Final compile - optimised versions against NDK R5.
Against the new Android NDK R5 I have just compiled:
* tun.ko - 18 KB
* slow-work.ko - 16 KB
* cifs.ko - 269 KB
* nls_utf8.ko - 4 KB
I have also debug stripped them - resulting in a total module size of 304 KB instead of 3.2 MB.
This time I compiled them on Ubuntu 10.10 instead of the ancient Ubuntu 6.10 I had been compiling on.
Again, these are for 2.6.32.21-g66cfb7a - feel free to hex edit them. I have tested both tun & cifs and they work.
Thanks again nxtwrld for the strip-debug advice.
Can you do the same for kernel 2.6.32.21-g3d0aaf ?
here you go.
thank you! Works very good!

I've tried for hours so far to understand more about the android and how to install the files inside 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d.zip.
I have the Desire HD with stock Orange rom and that kernel, i literaly have no idea how to install thease moduals onto the phone.
My desire hd is rooted and is S-on I've tried things like Kernel Update Utility and also just trying to simply copy and paste the files into system/lib/modules didnt work since astro didnt let me paste.
If it wasnt nearly 1am and i wasn't trying for the past 3 hours i would have done more reading. I know its something simple im missing, just can't figure out what the process is to installing thease modules is. First Android phone, first day with it as you can probebly tell.
Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks

There's a free app in the market called "mount /system (rw / ro)" that can make your /system read-write (rw) or read-only (ro). After setting rw - you should be able to copy the *.ko files into /system/lib/modules.
Another alternative is to copy the *.ko files onto your sdcard (/mnt/sdcard).
You can then use an app (i.e. "Terminal Emulator") to enter these commands:
Code:
su
insmod /mnt/sdcard/slow-work.ko
insmod /mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko
insmod /mnt/sdcard/nls_utf8.ko
Alternatively, you can open CifsManager, open the Settings and specify a custom path to your kernel modules (i.e. in /mnt/sdcard). The recent version allows you to specify multiple modules, separated by colons. e.g:
Code:
/mnt/sdcard/slow-work.ko:/mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko:/mnt/sdcard/nls_utf8.ko
Hope this helps.
You should also check you kernel version and verify, that you are really running pin this kernel. I have no idea what the kernel for Orange branding is....
Amazing thanks, i did it with the terminal emulator method. First time i tried it, it wouldnt work. A restart later and i've rentered the comands and my computer drive is mounted. Works like a dream, thanks loads for th hex edited files and the walkthrough with diffrent options was so very helpful.
Hi all,
It is the stock XXJVK (Gingerbread) internet browser modified to open more than 4 windows.
Actually you can visit up to 16 different web site at the same time but you'll probably miss memory before
Note:
Once you reach the 8th windows, continue to press the "new button" and it will open an extra new window even thought that the counter will not display more than 8
For those who remain in froyo,see my thread for XWJS8:
[MOD] increased Stock XWJS8 browser limit
to install :
-copy the apk to your sdcard
-Delete the old Browser.apk in /system/app
-Place the new Browser.apk in there
Note:
Don't forget to be superuser and to mount the partition as read-write :
for stock kernel :
$su
#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
#cp /sdcard/Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
#exit
$exit
for CF-ROOT kernel, (thanks to ramad)
su
stop (phone will freeze, that's OK just move on)
busybox mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
cp /sdcard/Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
exit
exit
adb reboot

Hi,
Do you mean you did not use the whole line (mount....) ?
So , your /system partition could permanently be mounted as read write.
Are you using any tools or specific rom ?

No I've tried gingerbread browsers on earlier roms before ... they don't work.
There are plenty of extra window modded browsers that do tho. The author of this thread made a js8 version I believe that will work

Cool, good job man!
Let's cut the crap. Seems like somebody on a Chinese forum figured out the way to apply the mod to MM2. I just translate it into English.
1. Download the attachment and unzip milestone2_more.ko to the root of sd
2. mount /system/ r/w
3. copy milestone2_more.ko to /system/lib/modules/
4. open terminal emulator
5. input the following command
su
chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/milestone2_more.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/milestone2_more.ko touch_num=6
(the guy said if you choose a number greater than 6 the system will crash)
now you should get a 6-point-multitouch

Just make a init.d script to load it up when the system boots and you won't have to worry about it again..
Just did this, but I think i wrote it wrong. Please correct me
I created a blank file and wrote inside it:
insmod /system/lib/modules/multitouchfix.ko (I replaced the name)
And saved the file as 99multitouchfix inside /system/etc/init.d/
I also fixed permissions for both files

Actually,the patch is developed by korean , the XDA thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162327
Autoload after reboot: copy install-recovery.sh to /system/etc and set rwxr-xr-x .
If you wanna change the touch point limit , open install-recovery.sh with text editor , change the number that follows "touch_num=". The range is 1~10.
My own test shows more than 6 touch points will NOT lead to system crash , but make it back to 2 points...orz. Since the same patch on D2/D2G/DEFY enable up to 10 points, why
m2 cound not
Ah, forgot to say , the autoload patch is ported from http://bbs.gfan.com/android-1997547-1-1.html

This is specially meant for Stock kernel user which don't have kernel iptables function.
Android Firewall
It's a android firewall capable of blocking some app to reach the internet by redirect them to certain address.
It can only activated if only there is Iptables executable & some modules to support it's function.
It's command line configurable but it's way too complicated to us.
You'll Need:
A Sony Ericsson X8 Android phone. (Will work on X10, but not tested.)
Rooted.
Busybox.
CWM Recovery.
Instruction:
Flash this through CWM http://www.mediafire.com/?qcn1jlwilq9l57n
Goto /system/etc & Add those line inside ADD TO HW_CONFIG.SH.txt text file into hw_config.sh.
Reboot
Download Any (I Used DroidWall https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.droidwall.free) to manipulated the iptables to block or allow your app to access the internet.
Say thanks to AnDyX who make this modules. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184907)
I'm just doing the update zip for CWM that's all.
Note: Bootloops or error ARE LIKELY NEVER OCCURED. This is tested on Eclair 2.1.C.0.0 Rom (Offical Sony Ericsson rom for x8) and GDX Rom.

Do NOT flash it with CWM Recovery or xRecovery until CKKnot correct the install script else it will wipe your /system partition and phone won't reboot and you will have to reflash your device.

Hello,
Sorry, I have to post this workaround here because I'm new on xda and I can't post an answer on the development forums. So if someone see that, please post a link to this thread on PAC ROM or pink kernel topic
It seems there is a new file in the modules directory which is a symbolic link named wlan.ko. As an easy workaround, simply replace this file (/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko) by this one: /system/lib/modules/pronto/pronto_wlan.ko (move this file to the parent directory and rename it). Then reboot, you should have the WiFi working now
PS: I guess it's maybe better to modify the symlink or load the correct module but it's harder to write command lines with a smartphone
According to some people, this bug should be fixed now.
Doesn't work!
Sadly, doesn't work on PA/C-RoM.
Edit: Thought I'd elaborate a bit. There's no wlan.ko in /system/lib/modules/, so I just copied the pronto_wlan.ko, renamed it to wlan.ko, repacked it and flashed it.

No :-/
Maybe you can try to reinstall the latest nightly version of your rom (released after March 20th -- I think it's the case for C-RoM), reboot and check if the WiFi is working. If yes, don't disable it now then reinstall the latest version of Pink kernel.
But if the WiFi is still not working, it's annoying... You can reformat /system where kernel modules are installed but I think it's automatically done when installing a rom. Maybe they are not using the latest version of the kernel?

What did you mean by saying: "repacked it and flashed it"? If you flash the ROM, it will format and reinstall /system partition (correct me if it's wrong).
When I had this bug, I replaced wlan.ko symlink file by this one: pronto/pronto_wlan.ko. Then I rebooted (or I guess you can use this command if modprobe is available but it's easier to reboot : adb shell "modprobe -r wlan && modprobe wlan").

As in, I repacked the kernel, and then flashed it.
I'll try tweaking a bit here and there, and let you know how it goes.
And yes, I flashed the latest C-RoM.
