Default [req] ext4 module
As the name of the thread suggests, I'm looking for the xperia play ext4 module. If any kernel dev could compile one and post it here I would be eternally greatful.

It'll be ready in an hour or two based on .145 kernel.

Update: as promised... built from .145 sources, with minimal config because otherwise it's unable to compile. http://www.mediafire.com/file/dkjilu...2k/ext4.ko.zip
Make sure you're on .145 FW.
chmod 777, insmod.

Thank you sir, will test it shortly and post back results.
Results :( init_module 'ext4.mo' failed ( Exec format error )

I moved it to system/lib/modules, chmod 777, insmod ext4.ko and no dice. I am on .145 firmware and rooted . Thanks for giving it a shot, very much appreciate it.

It's possible that there are different basebands on .145 FW, therefore giving error when on incompatible one.
ext4 support is, however, included in my kernel. Currently the bugs are camera and Wi-Fi, you may want to give it a try if you need ext4 support urgently

Just curious, my baseband version is 7X30A-AAABQMAZM-1290_12-22.

I built the ext4 module using the same firmware version
I flashed but I'm getting the same error when I try to insmod. Think it will be working once we have a working recovery and custom kernel

It's already included in my custom kernel, as I already said...
