[DEV] SK4G Tun.ko, ext4.ko, ext3.ko

http://gititbit.ch/sk4gm - sk4g_modules.zip
tun.ko
ext4.ko
ext3.ko

compiled with the sk4g kernel source (obviously)

sidekick4g mirrors can be found at
http://gitbrew.org/sidekick/

Place in /system/lib/modules/
insmod tun.ko ext3.ko ext4.ko

Please let me know if they work.
The only reason I can foresee them not working is if the production kernel version differs from the released source.

So I know im a "noob" but what does this do?

tun.ko enables the use of openvpn, ext3 and ext4 are file system types.

Would This Mean we could Convert from the default file system type (Rfs i think) to ext4 ? and does this mean the SK4G can have Voodoo lagfix which converts the system file type to ext4 i believe ?

sorry for all the questions im just a lol confused atm

These are kernel modules, they provide added functionality after boot to the stock kernel without having to recompile on the end-user level. Tun.ko lets you connect your phone to a OpenVPN network. Ext3 and Ext4 are file-system types. This would allow you to mount partitions/images with that file-system. I'm not sure if it would be applicable to /system, which is VFAT.

thanks for these. i am trying to figure out where to place them. looking at my system, i don't see a module folder in system/lib. what i have is a couple folders at the top, as shown, and all the rest are libxxxxxxxxx.so files.

Edit: i do see an option to create a new folder. perhaps that's what i need to do?

Don't create any folder, place all the .ko files in that directory you took a screenshot of then do insmod tun.ko as root. You must first mount your /system partition as rw.

Yogi, if you could, please join #sidekick4g on freenode. I am trying to compile AOSP GB for this device but I need to pull proprietary files first.

ok thanks, will do. is there any risk with this? it seems the Clockwork recovery is having a problem mounting the sd card in some cases, thus i was unable to save my nandroid backup.
