[MODULES][Xperia S] NLS_UTF8 | NTFS | TUN/TAP | CPU Governors

---

[ info ]

so since the kernel sources are now out (atleast for the Xperia NX) till we get kernel sorted out i think this should be useful for some users...

these are build using the vermagic based on this screenshot:



i am providing the kernel modules for:
NLS_UTF8 - Native Language Support UTF8
NTFS support - support to mount NTFS formatted drives/devices
TUN/TAP support - VPN support (more info here)
CPU Governor: Interactive - from pyramid-bricked-kernel by showp1984
CPU Governor: SmartAssV2 - SMP MSM8x60 support by faux123 from pyramid-bricked-kernel by showp1984
CPU Governor: MinMax - from pyramid-kernel by LeeDroid-
CPU Governor: SmartAss - SMP MSM8x60 support by faux123 from pyramid-kernel by LeeDroid-

for info on what CPU Governors are read this


[ requirements ]

1. rooted device
2. busybox installed
3. adb access via PC/terminal emulator app

[ how to install ]

1. download the modules u want and save on sdcard
2. start adb shell on PC or use terminal emulator app
3. execute the following commands at shell
   

   su
   busybox insmod /sdcard/modulename.ko

4. where modulename is the name of the module u want activated
5. hopefully u shouldnt get any errors/outputs
6. now check if the module is properly working/live
   

   su
   busybox lsmod

7. it show now give output of module name followed by word "Live"
8. thats it!
9. enjoy the module of ur choice!

if u want these modules to be autoloaded at startup u can now create an init.d script for the same!

be sure to first flash the init.d support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1547238

I will start adding modules for CPU governors soon!!!

download links & how to install at first post


these are untested kindly test them out and let me know asap!

Thanks a lot DooMLoRD, worked well with init script !

howver i encountered a very weird problem:

# ls
ls
tun.ko
ntfs.ko
nls_utf8.ko
cpufreq_smartass22.ko
cpufreq_smartass.ko
cpufreq_minmax.ko
cpufreq_interactive.ko
# insmod cpufreq_smartass2.ko
insmod cpufreq_smartass2.ko
insmod: init_module 'cpufreq_smartass2.ko' failed (No such file or directory)
# insmod tun.ko
insmod tun.ko
# insmod ntfs.ko
insmod ntfs.ko
# insmod nls_utf8.ko
insmod nls_utf8.ko
# insmod cpufreq_minmax.ko
insmod cpufreq_minmax.ko
# insmod cpufreq_interative.ko
insmod cpufreq_interative.ko
insmod: can't open 'cpufreq_interative.ko'

as u can see from ls the files are there. wonder why it's not picking up the modules?

I've tried using absolute path, it gives a different error:

su
busybox insmod /mnt/sdcard/xps_modules/cpufreq_interactive.ko
insmod: can't insert '/mnt/sdcard/xps_modules/cpufreq_interactive.ko': unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter

so interactive module is the only one giving issues?

can u post dmesg?

Nope, all CPU governor modules besides minmax are failed.

i am not really an expert in creating modules but this all will be fixed when we make custom kernel

Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using XDA

I want to make a init script for the ntfs.ko

But i cant get it to work, help?

Thank you

from what i saw in the defconfig CIFS is already enabled in stock kernel
