Working Kernel (2.1) Modules for Mini / MiniPro / X8

---

Here are some kernel modules for common operations that can't be done using the vanilla SE 2.1 kernel. Those modules should work on X10mini/X10minipro/X8

Requirements: working busybox, adb

Firstly, you need to remount RW your /system partition to be able to put the modules in place:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

tun.ko, used for vpnc networks
Installation (kernel part):

adb push tun.ko /sdcard/
adb shell 
su
busybox mv /sdcard/tun.ko /system/lib/modules/
busybox chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

Installation (gui part):
Get the latest apk of get-a-robot from here

adb install VPN_Connections_v099.apk

launch the app and add the network according to the config parameters that you have. This app also handles insmoding the tun.ko kernel module when needed.

cifs.ko, used for mounting windows/samba shares
Installation (kernel part):

adb push cifs.ko /sdcard/
adb shell 
su
busybox mv /sdcard/cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/
busybox chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

Usage:

insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
busybox mount -t cifs //<serverip>/<sharename> <local mount point> -o username=<name>,password=<password>
e.g. for guest authentication to share named 'samba' at server with ip 192.168.0.3:
busybox mkdir /sdcard/samba
busybox mount -t cifs //192.168.0.3/samba /sdcard/samba -o username=guest

nfs.ko, used for mounting NFS shares
Installation (kernel part):

adb push sunrpc.ko /sdcard/
adb push lockd.ko /sdcard/
adb push nfs.ko /sdcard/
adb shell 
su
busybox mv /sdcard/sunrpc.ko /system/lib/modules/
busybox mv /sdcard/lockd.ko /system/lib/modules/
busybox mv /sdcard/nfs.ko /system/lib/modules/
busybox chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/sunrpc.ko
busybox chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/lockd.ko
busybox chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/nfs.ko

Usage:

insmod /system/lib/modules/sunrpc.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/lockd.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/nfs.ko
busybox mount -t nfs <serverip>:/<share> <local mount point> -o nolock
e.g.
busybox mkdir /sdcard/nfs
busybox mount -t nfs 192.168.0.3:/home/data /sdcard/nfs -o nolock

Utf8 support
This can be used with cifs or nfs when mounted partitions contain characters in utf8 and thus appear as junk
Installation (kernel part):

adb push nls_utf8.ko /sdcard/
adb shell 
su
busybox mv /sdcard/nls_utf8.ko /system/lib/modules/
busybox chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko

Usage:

insmod /system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko

Filesystems
I have not used these modules since I have not partitioned my sdcard for these types of filesystems. I guess they can be useful in a multi-partition scheme or with app2sd and something else other than ext2

• ext3.ko (needs jbd.ko to be insmoded first)
• ext4.ko (needs jbd2.ko to be insmoded first)
• jfs.ko
• reiserfs.ko
• xfs.ko (needs exportfs.ko to be insmoded first)
• ntfs.ko (read-only support)

App2sd for froyo
These modules are only useful if you have an custom froyo ROM in order to get the app2sd functionality working

• dm-mod.ko (needs jbd.ko to be insmoded first)
• dm-crypt.ko (needs jbd2.ko to be insmoded first)
• twofish_common.ko
• twofish.ko

Installation (kernel part):

adb push dm-mod.ko /sdcard/
adb push dm-crypt.ko /sdcard/
adb push twofish_common.ko /sdcard/
adb push twofish.ko /sdcard/
adb shell 
su
busybox mv /sdcard/dm-mod.ko /system/lib/modules/
busybox mv /sdcard/dm-crypt.ko /system/lib/modules/
busybox mv /sdcard/twofish_common.ko /system/lib/modules/
busybox mv /sdcard/twofish.ko /system/lib/modules/
busybox chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/*

Disclaimer:
I can't be held responsible if any of those modules brick your device. Use them at your own risk!

Feel free to post any module requests you may have.

Can u explain me ths much further..what it is..?how the change when we get this in e10i

Sent from my E10i

you can find very helpful information on wikipedia:

(unfortuneately i cannot post external urls by now yet)
so, put in wikipedia this:

tun.ko - you can create VPN connection with this module
VPN
OpenVPN

cifs.ko - you can mount your samba/windows share on your device (if u dont know what it means.. you can basically have a folder on your phone, which represents the shared folder from your windows computer ..e.g. movies, music..etc
Server Message Block
Samba
Mount

nfs.ko - that is the same actually, but with this module u mount linux network file system, which also is capable of permissions management etc
NFS

Great! Nice Addition!

Just a point though:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

Shouldn't this be:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

any module to overclok?

any module (or modification) to overclock cpu over 600 mhz?

That's correct. Fixed.

Even though it works with mtdblock2 also

Is there some particular module in the vanilla kernel that can provide this?

I've seen it on other phones but with custom kernel modules / modifications

where can i read about all the possible modules?

What about psfreedom.ko (used to jailbreak the PS3)

It is possible to import?
