Hi All,

Being a bit of a noob here...

I understand that the stock google kernel has no cifs support. Is that right?

I can easily connect to usb drives using OTG cable and USB Mass Storage from the market but I'd like to do the same with home networked drives connected to other computers so I can stream video to the GN.

After doing some reading I see that I would need to flash a kernel with CIFS support and insert the right cifs.ko file in the system/lib/modules directory.

I haven't seen custom kernels based on the 4.0.2 stock kernel.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

My GN is a rooted GSM 4.0.2 YAKJU.

Thanks,

Ehud

P.S - I tried posting that first in the Q&A section but since I had no replies I thought this would be the more appropriate forum. I apologize for it being more of a question...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabf:
I really want CIFS support for 4.0.3Stock,as well.

thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nimbold:
i have installed a Font package and now i want to get back on old one. but even after flashing DroidSans (android default font) some of languages doesn't change. i used this Thread but no luck in any.

only English changes. not some languages like Persian(farsi) or arabic.

i'm asking if somebody has Stock or CM fonts update package so that i could flash via CWM.

Thanks :)

Wrong forum, that is about the new transformer prime, not the original transformer
[Eee Pad Transformer General] txtmikhail:
Yea I know just wanted anyone know who might want to get the prime... also for future products/updates they might release..

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Original Transformer also has locked bootloader. Just lucky for most of us the key was leaked.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wildestpixel:
Its very pertinent here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Col.Kernel:
However the Prime forums are in a bit of an uproar about it.

As I am opposed to locked/encrypted bootloaders I post this link so we may all let Asus know that we don't want to see any more of encrypted bootloaders.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wildestpixel:
Tweeted as requested! Seems prime has more enthusiasts than we do right now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
God I really hate these internet mediastorm campaigns full of spotty teenagers complaining about crap like this and starting Facebook petitions and all to try and change corporate decisions. They flood blogs and news sites will their crap.

Go buy an Xoom if it really bothers you that much.

Comments like this really are embarrassing (not for Asus, but the whole human race).

Someone want to tell him he can already USE it..... He makes it sound like a power-on password. If anything unlocking the bootloader will REDUCE functionality, as it would almost certainly mean you would no longer have a secure device that could rent content, any unlocking would remove DRM keys.

Both my devices are rooted with unlocked bootloaders, however I don't DEMAND it, I research the products and buy the ones that allow it (or have leaked keys). Had the Asus not had the bootloader keys leaked, I would have bought something else (Xoom for eample). Let market forces dictate, not dumb Facebook and mediastorm bullcrap.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theraffman:
Got to love our first world problems. I'd much rather worry about a locked bootloader digital device then where im going to get my next meal or whether we have fresh water for the children . Send all these whining kids to south Africa or the Philippines, mayybe have them digging fighting holes in Afghanistan or building ffp 's... that will add some perspective to their "PROBLEMS"

Carry on
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Spot on. My sentiments exactly. It's interesting this form of internet crybaby attitude seems to be almost entirely American of origin.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bob dylan:
Indeed, methinks mommy and daddy didnt ever tell these idiots 'no'.

However, whilst i dont really appreciate people whingeining so much about this, no doubt the prime will get its leaked bootloader key sometime soon. Patience it seems is fast becoming a uncommon virtue.

The thing that bugs me about this whole bootloader thing is that pure Android devices like the Nexus range dont have this and google have said they dont approve of it but cant do anything about what other manufacturers do in this regard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danny-B-:
Some of the comments are a bit stupid and obviously by people who dont even know what they are talking about .

Regardless now anyway as Asus have announced they will provide an unlocking tool.

This is also good for TF101 users on SBKv2 as im damn sure they will also allow unlocking this too.

Great result i think !!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mllk:
This is from engadget

"Lastly, ASUS explains that the locked bootloader is essential for access to content from Google's video market thanks to DRM restrictions, but it promises an unlock utility is in the work for those who want it."

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
There is more to the story than what was published here. It appears that along with the unlocked bootloader, will come the inability to use some DRM protected audio and video content. It will be a trade off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
And the same internet crybabies will be launching a campaign to try and shame Asus into allowing them to have a unlocked bootloader AND be able to rip the DRM from video rentals, they will also force them to make the next Asus Transformer 3 also have an inbuilt coffee maker and toenail clipping facility.

I hate how the internet and social media gives a vocal minority an overinflated ego that allows them to blackmail companies to conform to their whims.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Well, you can call me crybaby, but I'm happy with the result of this campaign. You seem to be crying much more that all of us so called "crybabies" now in this thread. :eek: If you don't approve - no need to call people names. And if we all allow in silence for devices to be more and more locked one day we wouldn't have a choice to buy sth else because all of them would be locked.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] underthecover1:
Sorry for OT, but when was the key leaked? I am new to the Tf101 and didn't here a Word about that. Could you post a link to confirm that, or sth. like that?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Sorry, but I have not felt the need to engineer a social media ****storm like you lot have arranged, where a vocal minority are pretending to be MUCH louder than they actually are.

If you really dislike locked bootloaders, then Tegra2 and Tegra3 platforms are not for you, as they are ALL locked using the same 128bit AES key, as it's part of the NVidia chipset.

The only tablet I am aware of that uses Tegra2 that allows unlocking is the Xoom, if you feel that strongly, don't buy Asus, but Xoom instead.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] weehooherod2:
Sure enough Asus came through with the requests!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
The key was leaked a while back enabling devs to make use of the NVFlash to unbrick/flash ROM.

Some time mid July 2011 Asus change the SBK locking up the bootloader again. That's why you see peoples asking for serial number of tablet to determined if your tablet was built before or after the SBK change ect....

Here's link

[Eee Pad Transformer General] scoobdude:
I don't understand why people complain about other people complaining about asking for a choice.

This is what we all should be doing when our choices get taken away. Next thing you know there will be checkpoints to see if your bootloaders are unlicked on the highways and un airports....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hellrespawn:
I asked @AsusUK on twitter and they confirmed that the bootloader of the B70+ Transformers would also be unlocked.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] underthecover1:
MY S/N starts with B60. So I could easily unlock it?! Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bob dylan:
am with you on the unlocked bootloader rant but please dont ever think you are actually a free american- you live in one huge illusion of freedom( take your political system for starters) and the discrepancy between rich and poor is growing by the day... any freedoms you think you have are handed down to you like crumbs from the top table. and i wont even start on how you dont extend those same freedoms to other countries...the US is a hyspocritcial contradiction wrapped up in an enigma...yadda yadda yadda.

Some of the commentary is quite well thought out. Most in here is whining about non related stuff.

For those who do not understand the GPL and the Judgement Rendering here from the courts in the USA. The decision of the Supreme court was very specific, you buy the device you own it, have the right to modify it how you please. Preventing the owner of a device from that right is the same a a Car Manufacturer preventing you from putting off road tires on your truck, because they do not want you to drive on dirt roads. Trying to tie SOPA to this argument is a nonsequitor.

I had this on my T-Bolt and I missed it. I had to make it 720 to fit our phones. I added a few extra frames since it renders faster now. This is the CRT shutdown animation upon restart or reboot, aka shutdown. This replaces the white and green HTC shut down screen. The download link file is named correctly (hTC_downanimation) for stock locations to replace the current in system/customize/resource. Your location and file name may vary pending your Rom. Make sure permissions are marked correctly. Backup or rename your current file so you can restore. If you wish to use in your rom or reduce file size please give thanks for my initial work. The screen shots are example not sequence shots. Use root explorer to replace the file.

DL link? Looks pretty cool.
[HTC Rezound] flexor224:
Sorry link is in op
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Haha, that was pretty cool. Had to rename mine because it was simply downanimation.zip in the first place. Nice job though :)
[HTC Rezound] KrimsonStarfly:
I'm unable to get this working, sadly. I set permissions correctly and the filename is exactly the same as the original but I can't seem to get the effect to work at all. Any other suggestions?

EDIT: Would it be because I used root browser instead of your suggested program?
[HTC Rezound] flexor224:
File explorer program won't make a difference. Did you rename the original one or try to copy over it?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Works nicely! Thanks nerd!
[HTC Rezound] Dodger70:
Worked perfectly for me too! Thank you
[HTC Rezound] TheDr1ver:
Worked perfectly for me with Root Browser. Anyone who's having problems should double-check to make sure they have the new file named correctly.

So I rommed and rooted the phone,last night I charged it up to 100% percent (i did the battery callibration a few days ago) and today morning I woke up and I found my phone (I turned it off for the night) with 0% battery,and it wont charge at all,i tried to wipe the battery data,and it still won't help,any suggestions?

BTW my ROM ver-CM7
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
and the version of this CM7 is ?
[LG Optimus Black] maxim1004:
the version is 7-11162011-NIGHTLY
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
i don't know for sure what build it is, but it should be #20 or the Kang

1. as i believe,there's no way to turn off the phone while it's charging

are you sure it's CM7 and it turned off last night?

2. if the battery show 0% and it won't charging, how did you wipe the data ?

however, try to do a factory reset
[LG Optimus Black] maxim1004:
i managed to do so in the little time window when i plugged my phone to the charger and it works for like 1.5 minutes thats all i could do,now i was successful of charging my phone but it quickly decharges.

Also my phone doesnt pick up the sd card and im already frustrated
[LG Optimus Black] DiederikC:
Reflash with newest cm7 build and nova v11c . Also try to do battery reset cwm->advandced >batterystats wipe

I hope this helps
[LG Optimus Black] maxim1004:
can you explain how to i reflash and give me a link for the cm7 build?

thanks!

P.S

Perhaps i should erase everything from my phone and bring it back to android 2.2.2 and then re-do everything again with a different cm7?
[LG Optimus Black] DiederikC:
Get.cm.com then search for p970 download the zip file i think it's build #24 copy to your sd card and reboot into recovery then press install zip and select the cm7 zip install and try to boot see what happends :)

Goodluck!
[LG Optimus Black] maxim1004:
my phone says my sd card is not mounted,when i try to mount it,it says that the card can now be removed and wont see it,what do i do?
[LG Optimus Black] grnfeuer:
try another sd card or wipe your sd card (so mount) and try to reach again ?
[LG Optimus Black] maxim1004:
ok ill try
[LG Optimus Black] maxim1004:
ok man,i did that,i installed the cm version,but i think the battery is still fked
[LG Optimus Black] grnfeuer:
could you open your phone? or what happened?
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
Have you done a factory reset?

If you've done it already,and the battery still drop hard,open the SpareParts -> battery information -> see the battery health

Or you can try to calibrate it (Battery Calibration from market)

Sent from my heart into yours
[LG Optimus Black] DiederikC:
Try to mount the sd card in cwm that should work :)
[LG Optimus Black] DiederikC:
Maybe your battery died , it happends i think you can test that the way agent said:)
[LG Optimus Black] maxim1004:
I finally fixed the phone,i have restored it to the previous setting from the date i bought it,and the battery works much better,though it still uncharges preety fast,during the night,11hs from recharging it dropped 20%,i still dont get it,ill try to calibrate but i dont think it will help.

Ill keep you posted.

Wrong section mate. You gotta make sure you disable fastboot under the power section.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:

Before you want to hack your phone, may I suggest you read a little more before hacking or making a possible massonary!

[HTC Sensation] gamezone94:
Disable Fastboot, but be careful a wrong click could be dangerous without reading through a lot of threads here.
[HTC Sensation] Uqbar:
Solved

I fixed the problem.

It was not about the fast boot, I knew already about it.

It was not about the search in the this forum: there's no mention at all about it.

It was all about timing in releasing the power button.

Maybe a rooting guide with precise and proved information would help a lot of people.

Everyone has been a n00b before not being a n00b any more!

And being jealous about the information you have makes you a n00b outside the Middle Age.

Because the other thread is getting way too big and contains alot of useless posts, I started this thread for FACTS only and "scientific" research. I will update this post (or the second) with findings and possible solutions that are given in this thread.

@mod, maybe this can become a sticky?

Please read before posting to keep it clean!

Please don't post:

- Your testing results without a succesful driving test because we have enough of them already

Test protocol:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20878091&postcount=781

- Your conspiracy theories, just wait what ASUS has officially to say

- Posts with no additional information (thus which has been said already by another user, or something like "thanks")

- Posts telling people not to whine and live with it

- Useless discussions if ASUS did or did not gave an official statement

- Useless discussions why ASUS removed the GPS from the spec sheet on their USA website

- Posts telling what you are going to do with your Transformer (return it etc.)

Please do post:

- Proposed fixes which have proved to work before or which have a good scientific backing

- Test results of these fixes (we don't need hundreds of them... 2 - 3 are enough)

- Other significant details which can help to come to a solution

The problem:

- The Transformer Prime (TP) can't hold a lock on GPS satellites or can't even see them and WiFi is relatively weak.

So what do we know already?

- The GPS chip is a BCM47511 Broadcom chip: http://www.broadcom.com/press/release.php?id=s548713

- Antennas are located in the top left corner (looking from the back): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20923418&postcount=1

- Extensive testing by users showed that the TP is losing lock very often during movement and accuracy is highly fluctuating

Possible causes:

- All metal back of the TP

- Firmware/software bugs

- Bad/weak/cheap antenna

Proposed fixes (not confirmed working):

- Changing the gps.conf file:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20915954&postcount=910

or

Work-arounds:

- Using your phone's GPS by connecting the tablet with bluetooth to it:

This might be a fix.

FCC information

If you're interested in digging around the FCC's website for pictures and reports:

Website here:

http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/

Then enter:

Grantee Code: MSQ

Product Code: TF201

The first row shows WiFi-related information.

The second row shows Bluetooth-related information.

Both have very interesting diagrams! Despite them being either WiFi or Bluetooth related reports, they have some cool diagrams of the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
GPS work-around - via wifi

Another work-around (in addition to bluetooth) is to get gps information from a cell phone and transfer to the Prime via wifi.

I've installed and tested TetherGPS and it worked perfectly. There is a lite version available for free on Android Market but it has time limitations. I tested with the lite version and then paid $2.99 for the full version. Here is the link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.comptonsoft.tgps&feature=order_history#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDUwMCwiY29tLmNvbXB0b25zb2Z0LnRncHMiXQ..

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BAD_BOY_KIEV:
Samsung Galaxy Note, which succefully works with GPS and GLONASS, has the same Broadcom chip, thus it is reasonable to check the GP related files from him.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gruntguy:
The latest 8.8.3.33 firmware update seems to have definitely improved things... For me at least anyway. I just updated and took the tab out onto my balcony (where it previously was unable to detect ANY satellites at all). Within 20 seconds it located 14 satellites and locked to 10 of them. The connection strength left much to be desired, but alas, I had achieved a lock.

The update also updated the GPS version from 5.8.12 to 5.8.13, so a change has definitely been made.

Sorry, I haven't done a full test as required in the original post, but given the firmware update, I think that this information is worth posting regardless.

Stepping outside onto my balcony gave me this, where previously it would not pick up anything. On my last test, a 45 minute drive, no fixes were achieved, with a maximum of 6 satellites detected.

Version numbers here. I did not take note of the WiFi version before this update, only GPS, so if someone could make known the 8.8.3.29 WiFi version that would be great.

Any others who are able to update and do a more comprehensive test, please do so.

Edit#2: With WiFi assist turned off I was still able to go outside and achieve a 8/13 fix within seconds.. though that's probably to do with the aGPS data being saved from the previous session.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robomo:
obvious observation, but this does have a factor on GPS tests:

The orientation of the GPS antenna has a great deal with how it performs. Because over half of it is shielded by the aluminum backplate, it needs at least part of the front screen facing the sky to get a good reception.
