Kernel Modules for 7310

Edit: these are useful for stock 3.1 and should not be used with my kernel. See my kernel post for current capabilities etc.
Please use this thread to post kernel modules for the Samsung Galaxy 8.9
The kernel modules I post are compiled from the model 7310 WiFi-only kernel source released by Samsung for kernel 2.6.36.3 and Android 3.1. I do not know if they will work on any other model besides the 7310, but you are free to try.
You must have root access and mount "system" as read/write.
Create a folder called "modules" inside of /system/lib and copy the kernel module (.ko) into "modules"
cifs.ko - to mount shares from Windows, Linux and Mac
-View attachment 7310_cifs.ko.zip
-Unzip cifs.ko and verify with SHA1 65c5cc08ee5a4878fc99060885ecaefd6961a9f
-CifsManager from the Android Market works well. Goto "Settings..." and check both "Load cifs module" and "Load va insmod". The default path will be as shown (/system/lib/modules/cifs.ko)

Please give "thanks" if this was helpful. If you are looking for a common module, please make a request and I will see what I can do. I have a regular job and a family, so I can't promise how long it will take or that it will work since I may not have the hardware to test it.

Thanks motley. A tip for other noobs like me: don't download through Tapatalk.

this is great, thanks for working on the tab 8.9. i think many of us 8.9 owners are a little sad we have so little development going on.

thanks , it works both on stock rom and overcome's rom, well done !!

Hi _motley,
do you know how to mount modules for east asian character folder ?
it seems involved with nls_utf8 module , i'm using cifs mgr...
batch load both cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko from CIFS mgr , not work,
but western character works normally.
Alternatively , I use script to insmod , then works fine,
anyway , it works , thank you a lot.

Hi
Thanks a lot !
Any chance to get the NTFS Module as well ?

Thanks for testing, glad to hear cifs is working.
kevinchg, not sure on your mounting issue when also loading nls_utf8.ko, I don't currently have a way to test it, but I would make sure that you have your path's and options setup correctly in cifsmanager. Don't quote me, but I think you need to separate the two module paths by a semi-colon and I believe you also need to specify the option "iocharset=utf8" (or something like this) within your share configuration.
fishton, the NTFS module has been added. Let me know if it works for you. Can't believe I left this one out...would like to use it myself.

Thanks ! Will test it tonight and let you know if it works

I'm curious why you guys need the modules. As far as I can tell, they were built into the kernel on my 8.9 tab. I had no problem mounting cifs/ntfs shares and didn't need anything to do so.

Which model do you have? Perhaps you are mounting network drives with ES File Explorer or something like that that has SMB built-in? Neither the config from /proc/config.gz or the defconfig from the kernel source I downloaded from Samsung have any of these options built into the kernel. I definitely can't mount using cifsmanager without loading the cifs.ko module.
For NTFS, we are talking about mounting NTFS hard drives via USB. Haven't tried that yet...perhaps the other gentleman will report back if he tries.

Hi
I tried your NTFS Module yesterday and have been able to load the module. But unfortunately, I haven t been able to find the proper command for mounting my disk.
Could you advice me ?
Thanks !

Give this app a try and see if it works. I'll try to play around with this myself when I find some time.

Already tried both, no luck with it

Hi
Many thanks for your v2 kernel all smooth for me with OVC 2.1
I'm looking at for a working cifs.ko. The one given here never worked for me (exec format error) with previous kernel and the v2.
Any chance to get one to test from your v2 kernel build?
Thanks again.

With the latest versions of my kernel, you don't need any modules...it's built right into the kernel. Only the stock kernel and the first alpha release of my kernel needed modules.

[Q] CIFS Module for stock rooted nexus 4

Is there some cifs.ko module for a stock android 4.3 on the nexus 4 or any other way to mount a samba share on the nexus 4 (device rooted and with busybox)

No module support for stock kernel. How about es file manager or astro?

I'd like to mount a samba share on android so that other app can use the share
In this case I want titanium backup to backup and restore directly from the samba share

maybe do some research and see if there's a viable FUSE based solution. wouldn't need CIFS then

For what it's worth, I just compiled a cifs module that *should* work on franco's kernel: http://d-h.st/00X
Also this may help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307628

I'll check that, I'd be fine with a adb hack also

Thanks do I also need md4.ko ?

Looks like CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD4=y for franco so it should already be built in. Not sure what you mean by "adb hack"

Thanks, by adb hack I meant maybe there is a way to mount a folder from the pc to android through USB

[KERNEL][STOCKbased] N8020/P4NOTELTE FastCharge

Only for N8020, maybe works also on I925.
Hi
i built a kernel for the latest stock FW based on the Samsung Opensource Kernel tarball.
I just modified the charging-unit driver to allow high currents up to 1,8A on every power source. I use this mod on my n8020 for 4 Days and it works like a charm. It seems, that the charging ic is automatically limiting the current, if the power source is not powerful enough. Dont think about the cross over the battery symbol. I didnt modified the Power Source detection of the whole device. I just patched the charging driver, which will not affect the UI.
Greetings from Germany
Simon

Cheers mate!
It's added and modded by the android kitchen for init.d support as well on my new build out soon. You rock!

Another member noticed that his 64gb external sd card unmounts itself repeatedly with this kernel. Not sure why, just thought I would pass it on
Sent from my GT-N8020 using Tapatalk 4

Confirmed NOT working on SCH-i925U (US Cellular Model).

Any chance of investigating why this kernel unmounts certain sd cards? I'm happy to help test with my 64gb SanDisk class 10 which doesn't work and my 16gb Kingston class 4 which does.
Iv tried formatting the 64gb with pc to fat32, exfat and ntfs. The tablet recognises the card, requests a reformat and then unmounts.
As soon as I reflash stock kernel the card works fine

Flashing ok. Now testing with 64gb sd by samsung. I will edit the post if there are errors.
Simon can you make a real customkernel for the n8020 with new features like the kernels for n8000/10/13?

thank you Simon94: Good:

Spen problem
Hi mate after i update my gtn8020 the spen pointer go right of the head of the pen about 2mm can this kernel fix it pls

The LolliRock ROM works great, had it for over a week now. You do need a mouse, and a USB hub allows you to connect other things like an external hard drive and usb sticks.

I think the OP is asking for a multirom solution, not for alternative ROM to flash on the NP ...
I think it is technically possible, but the poor 8GB is a big limit in creating a usable multirom solution ...

That app I suggested is a multirom app. It installs a Linux distro to an SD card.
