It's working flawlessly!! Thanks you very much for this. And as you looks skilled, now pls try to find a way, how to connect bluetooth keyboard in Sense ROM and you are definitely my hero :)
[Desire Android Development] maslinar:
insmod /sdcard/cifs.ko -> exec format error

busybox insmod /sdcard/cifs.ko ->invalid module format...

Why is that? Using nextsense with 2.6.32.15 kernel

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Myshkinbob:
Go to software information on the phone, is your kernel listed as Linux-2.6.32.15-gf9c0527? This module is built for the specific HTC OTA build of the 2.6.32.15 kernel only.

It's pretty much impossible to get bluetooth keyboards working on the HTC kernel without it's source code, since it'd require a full kernel recompile to enable it. Although the current HTC kernel has bluetooth HID support enabled, it doesn't have keyboard support enabled in the input devices section. Keyboard support can't be built as a module, only built into a kernel. Sorry!

If anyone is using gscript to automate their cifs mount/umount, i made up a little script to toggle the mount, for use as a gscript homescreen shortcut.

if test -f /sdcard/sharefolder/mounted.txt
then
busybox umount /sdcard/sharefolder
else
insmod /path/to/cifs.ko
busybox mount -t cifs //192.168.0.2/sharename /sdcard/sharefolder -o username=user,password=pass
fi
busybox df -h

Create a file called mounted.txt in the root of your shared drive, this is used to detect if the share is currently mounted.

replace /sdcard/sharefolder with the name of the directory you're mounting the share on.

replace /path/to/cifs.ko with your path to the cifs.ko module.

replace //192.168.0.2/sharename with your server ip and share name.

replace user and pass with your username and password.

Lastly the df -h is there for visual confirmation whether the share is mounted or not, it'll always be the last line of df -h when it's mounted, the bottom of the gscript window. :)
[Desire Android Development] JoseF:
Thanks Myshkinbob,

It works :)

Just one problem.

I add my music as a share, I can play all songs but just a song at a time cannot have a playlist.

Is a way to do this with the default music player? or do I need another player?

Once more thanks Myshkinbob for this.

Any thoughts?
[Desire Android Development] Myshkinbob:
I had the same error connecting to one computer, if you try to connect using estrongs file manager (free version), that will fail also? Switch estrongs to LAN, hit menu, click new, click scan, then select the PC you're trying to get cifs to connect to. I wouldn't use Astro SMB, it seems a little buggy in 2.2, for me at least.

Just to elaborate, i did all my testing on my desktop pc, windows 7 ultimate x64, and that connected fine. When it came to connecting to my media center pc, windows 7 ultimate x86, i got the same memory allocation error you're seeing.

Estrongs file manager failed to connect also, so i knew it wasn't a cifs module bug. Both machines are on the same network, same firewall settings, it was a real puzzle why the desktop was reachable, and the media pc wasn't.

Does your computer have a long name by any chance? It's a bit bizarre, but my desktop has a very short name, bob-pc, and my mediacenter had a long name, mediacenter-pc. I changed the mediacenter-pc name to media-pc which then required a reboot, and restarted my desire to clear the DNS cache. When i tried now, estrongs file manager could connect, and my cifs mount no longer gave a memory allocation error.

So i'd try pinging 192.168.1.5 from your phone first, then check sharing settings on the pc and that your firewall considers the phone trusted or in a trusted ip range, then if that's all good, try giving the computer a shorter name if it has a long one, and rebooting everything.

I'd recommend you do the connectivity testing with estrongs file manager's LAN - menu - New - Scan, since it rules out any serious user error such as typos in the mount command or mounting to a non-existent directory. :)
[Desire Android Development] Demp:
I tried connecting to my other PC last night, and it worked fine, so its a problem with my PC.. I fiddled with my sharing settings so many times that I must have screwed up something in the process sometime.

I'm at work now so I'll do those tests when I get home, but I'm positive it'll work :)

Great work, really useful for streaming music and video. Maybe I'll create an application to make it easier to mount and unmount during the weekend. It would be really nice to see this module implemented on ROMs, and custom kernels.

Btw, any point in unloading the module? (to conserve battery or any other reason?).
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
unloading the module i don't think so....but i think that unmounting the share is going to save resources....not sure though
[Desire Android Development] Myshkinbob:
Oh one thing i can think of, disabling media sharing might fix it too. My media center has several accounts on it, all providing an individual share for the accounts media, i got rid of those at some point.

I'm not sure that using modprobe -r to remove the module would make any difference to battery usage, since unless you're actively browsing a cifs mount, the module isn't doing any work. It's probably best to unmount when you're done with your share tho, since i'm not sure how well cifs behaves when the network connection isn't available to a mounted share. It might just keep re-enabling wifi to get access to it.

I've since come across a nasty issue btw, video streaming is fine since it keeps the screen alive, but music streaming has a huge problem; when the screen turns off, the phone drops into sleep mode, and the wifi chipset drops down to keep-alive low power mode.

This destroys wifi bandwidth, a typical VBR 160kbps mp3 stutters like mad, so i'm guessing it leaves wifi at around 60kbps, certainly sub-100kbps.

There are 3 solutions i know of...

1) leave the usb cable plugged into either the charger or the computer, the trickle charge from a usb connection allows the wifi chipset to stay out of low power mode when the screen is in standby.

2) an app called WiFi Fixer, that was made for the nexus one. It was made to prevent wifi dropping completely during sleep mode, which isn't my problem exactly. However, in the options menu there's an advanced option called standby fix 2, or words to that effect, and it's meant to prevent the wifi chipset going to sleep. It's kind of buggy, and so far as i can tell it works by disabling/re-enabling wifi once the phone is in standby, to wake the wifi chipset out of low power mode. Like i said tho, it's far from perfect, and if you're using something like msn talk at the same time, you'll lose your connection to it while it switches wifi on and off.

3) Tinker with the broadcom wifi kernel driver. I -think- this is a module so it might be possible to remove low-power mode from it with the HTC kernel. Certainly this fix is used in some of the custom built kernels available. :)
[Desire Android Development] Myshkinbob:
I went with option 3, just hacked up the bcm4329 wifi kernel module to prevent it entering full standby mode. :D

mp3 streaming seems to work okay with the screen turned off now, just going to find some 320kbit to test it properly, or dare i say, some FLAC encodings.

Edit:

Just used http://www.appbrain.com/app/net.avs234 to test and even the mighty FLAC plays cleanly in standby over wifi now. Result! :)

Combine it with VPN and that's like having your entire movie/music collection on your phone anywhere you can get a broadband connection. No copying, no waiting, no ugly transcoding or streaming media servers, just use the files as if you already put them on the SD card

Hi! i got the share mounted but its not unmounting now, i have tried to force unmount also but its not working, i am getting operation not permitted. initially i was getting resource busy. Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] Myshkinbob:
I get this occasionally, usually it's some background task that was using the share, such as a file explorer, music or movie player. Even though they weren't currently in the shared directory, they still prevented me unmounting. Killing all media/file explorer apps should let you unmount. :)
[Desire Android Development] snq-:
you seem to have compiled your module with debugging options, that's why it's size is about 3MB

you might want to strip debugging symbols and sections (just them) with arm-eabi-strip --strip-debug (or arm-none-eabi-stip in your case)

except for the whole oplock break handling ;)

i took a slightly different approach (patch provided):

How do you set up an VPN SSL conection in Windows 7?

[Desire Android Development] Myshkinbob:
You got me there. :)

Mine was just a quick and dirty fix that does the job for streaming (read only really), i took a look at your pastebin in the other thread when you posted, and it looks like you reversed the original kernel patch from jeff layton that replaced oplocks with slow_work.

Thanks for the tip on the compile flag to remove the debug symbols, first time using the toolchain and my first cross compile since messing with an old router years ago.

Edit:

The HTC incredible 2.6.32.15 source code came out since i first made the module, so i've just recompiled with that source, and stripped the debug symbols. I also put the full oplock code from 2.6.31 back in, just in case anyone is writing files that're being concurrently read by other users. :)
[Desire Android Development] snq-:
yes, the idea was to return to the latest version (2.6.31.14) before slow_work_* came in - while preserving any other modifications since then

as for oplocks, i thought i might occasionally want to edit some documents or upload/backup downloaded/recorded stuff, but i see your point that this might not be the most common usage scenario

thanks for cediting me in op ;)

Possibly not....i have an incredible and i am looking into switching and i doubt our method will work fpr you guys....from what i understand, the bootloader can ONLY FLASH MOTOROLA SIGNED ZIPS.

[Droid 2 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Milestone guys been looking for that solution for like a 1yr now? so im asuming someone gave up somewhere along the road...

So chances are like 1 in a million trillion chances, that the private keys gets public, so we can sign the bootloader ourself... its like having a smart card for Sky1 and extracts all the keys, which happened once as the employee went to the competitor, so i guess a Motorola employee has to go to HTC so we can get the keys :-) lol

and hacking the key is like waiting for Milestone 53 coming out in 2025...
[Captivate General] Viearical:
Hi all, I'm wondering if anybody else has seen or heard of an issue like this.

I just bought a captivate from a person on craigslist, everything seemed fine when I was there checking the phone out (sim worked, perfect condition, etc) but now that I've got it home and been using it for a day I've noticed that the bottom touch buttons sometimes click on their own. Meaning I don't need to even touch any part of the bottom button area and the buttons activate. As you can imagine this is pretty frustrating, when you're in an app and all of a sudden the home button activates and brings you out of the app. It usually seems like the home button is the most susceptible, and sometimes will go crazy and keep clicking itself for 10-20 times in a row.

So far I've found no rhyme or reason as to why it's doing this and haven't been successfully in getting it to stop. I'm curious if anybody else is having an issue like this, and if so what did they do? I'd probably just return it to an AT&T store for a new unit, but I'm worried about trying to return the phone as a defective unit as I wasn't the original purchaser.

Any suggestions or ideas?
[Captivate General] Main Target:
When I went to up switch my phone at best buy they're was a brand new phone that they took out oh the box for me that continuously hit the home button. You could see the back light of the button rapidly turn on and off
[Captivate General] DraxusD:
I had this same problem on my first captivate, swapped it out and had the issue again except with the search button. Swapped it out again and finally got one without the problem.
[Captivate General] Viearical:
Thanks all, so it seems like it may be not just my specific unit, which I guess is good.

Now I'm just nervous about attempting to return the phone to AT&T for a swap out as I'm not the original purchaser. Anybody have any problems when doing something like this?
[Captivate General] Symmetric:
Mine does this too (search button), but strangely only under very specific conditions.

You can try AT&T's warranty exchange service, but there's a 10000:1 chance of getting it exchanged in the store without the original purchase receipt.
[Captivate General] Viearical:
So, those 10000:1 odds? Ya... didn't happen. I took it in tonight and I said I was having problems with my captivate having the buttons activate own their own and they seemed interested, then found out that I didn't buy it from the store and pretty much stopped all trouble shooting and said they couldn't cover it and referred me to a "AT&T device support center". So that'll be my next step, or trying the warranty exchange service, this is the first I've heard of it.

Also what specific conditions does your search button activate?
[Captivate General] dmnall:
On launch day, my first Captivate did that right in the store, it took 30 minuets and letting both the guy who sold me the phone and even the store manager see the phone kept doing that. Took it home and tried to charge it *left it charging for 6 hours and never got more then 84% charged*, returned it because the home button went off 20 - 30x in less then a minuet.. Now the second one works perfectly but I have to be careful sometimes I hit the search button with my hand!

HTH,

Charlie

[Captivate General] DaveyBB:
Spastic search button

I had the same problem with my search button. It only happened occasionally and didn't seem like a big deal. When it started happening more frequently, I went to the store and they pretty much dismissed it as my fault. Should have pushed it further, but it wasn't horrible yet. Finally got so bad I couldn't deal with it any more so went back to the store (not out of my 30day exchange) and they got on the phone with their warranty company and a new one is being sent out. I hope it doesn't have worse problems.
[Vibrant General] Homestar1217:
I came from an HD2, and what HTC wrote over in WinMo 6.5 I thought was great, especially the gallery app, which cleared up an image when you zoomed in. I've noticed that this phone does not do that. When I zoom in on a picture I took it just turns all fuzzy, like it's been compressed or something. I know the pics are high res cause they look great on my computer, but I just can't understand why they don't clear up when you zoom in. Anyone else experience this? The only other issue I've noticed is that every once in a while I'll open an app up, lets say the web browser, and it pops up and then just force closes. Several others I know with a Vibrant/Captivate are having this problem as well, and I was just curious if anyone knew the cause. I'm totally new to Android so please pardon me if these are dumb questions.
[Vibrant General] Berserk87:
for the second half of your post you should get your phone replaced.

there have been a couple people on here that had that issue with "sticking" buttons so apps would randomly close or settings would popup.
[Vibrant General] AquaeAtrae:
As for your first issue, it sounds to me as though you are zooming into the thumbnail version of the picture. Perhaps the full high-res version is actually found in another pile/folder under the gallery. I don't think the thumbnails are generally viewable separately, though I do see a lot of other media gathered up from various apps which can be kinda annoying.
[Vibrant General] Homestar1217:
No I promise I'm not zooming on the thumbnails, I'm clicking the folder with all of my pictures in it, and it'll let me zoom in on them, but they never clear up. It's not the camera cause the resolution is right, just the zooming isn't working properly. it's weird, and frustrating.
[Vibrant General] jayzusfk:
I definitely don't have the camera problem. I tested it with photos I took as well as wallpapers in my gallery. I assume you are using the gallery app, right?

If you're getting FCs on stock apps you may want to just do a factory data reset (settings/privacy). It happens occasionally to all android phones and the only sure fix I've seen is a reset. Make sure you're not using task killers or home replacement apps (pandahome, openhome, etc) as they can cause a lot of FCs in my experience.
