[HTC Aria General] Gene Poole:
After the "make oldconfig" step above, I mentioned that at this point you can run "make menuconfig" to add features to your kernel config.

From the main menu, select "filesystems", then select "network filesystems" then scroll down to "CIFS Support" and press "M" to toggle the module on. Now exit and save the configuration and follow the remaining steps.

When done, you'll have a module in:

/usr/src/liberty-2.6.29-21f066a6/fs/cifs/cifs.ko

You'll probably want to strip the debug symbols (making it 90% smaller):

/usr/src/android-ndk-r4b/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-strip --strip-debug /usr/src/liberty-2.6.29-21f066a6/fs/cifs/cifs.ko

(mine went from 2816385 bytes to 278872 bytes)

Now it should be ready to "insmod" on your device.
[HTC Aria General] Gene Poole:
Kind of rude of me not to just give you the file. Sorry. Here it is:

Not rude at all, but an education and inspiration !

Thanks again for your help.
[HTC Aria General] Gene Poole:
I just noticed a CIFS manager on the market. Works great with this module on my aria:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/ws.plattner.cifsmanager
[HTC Aria General] dy57:
Pushed the module into /system/lib/modules and did insmod...

failed with operation not permitted.... : (

I reviewed the version used to build cifs.ko -

liberty-2.6.29-21f066a6

and the kernel version I have on my phone from system settings - 2.6.29-885f0b88

version are different.

Could this be the cause of the insmod failure ?
[HTC Aria General] Gene Poole:
liberty-2.6.29-21f066a6 is what I downloaded from HTC. I recently put the latest Liberated ROM form ATTN1 on my phone of which I think the kernel is from the recent (a week or so) release by HTC. My phone reports:

uname -a

Linux localhost 2.6.29 #1 PREEMPT Thu Aug 26 22:04:52 EDT 2010 armv6l GNU/Linux
[HTC Aria General] dy57:
For me :

uname -a

Linux localhost 2.6.29-885f0b88 #1 PREEMPT Fri May 14 16:24:11 CST 2010 armv61 GNU/Linux

maybe an incompatibility problem, I have liberated b005 installed.

possibly time to do an upgrade....
[HTC Aria General] dy57:
Installed liberated R006 (which has the updated kernel), pushed cifs.ko and got module working !

Test it with Rock Player and a networked share and it streams videos without conversion or downloading !

CIFS Manager gave me an error....

Check it with insmod and mount via Terminal , instructions here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=751296

Now working restoring apps and settings on my phone after the ROM upgrade.... not a pretty process :(.
[HTC Aria General] dy57:
CIFS Manager now works on the HTC Aria

Got the cifs.ko module to work in conjunction with CIFS Manager.

Had to configure in app's settings:

1) to load cifs module at startup of app

2) load via insmod instead of modprobe

3) path to where the cifs module is placed

Sure is makes the process easier !
[HTC Aria General] dy57:
Here's the cifs module for cynaogen

Thanks to Gene Poole for his instructions and inspiration !

With a little noodling to get a workable compile environment of Ubuntu to install in a Win XP dual boot, I've attached the cifs.ko module for Cyanogen.

The module works for build cm-liberty-full-73 and should be compatible with other versions with the 2.6.29.6-cyanogenmod kernel.

Perhaps I can request the the developers for Cyanogen include the module as standard part of their builds ?

Thanks in advance,

[HTC Aria General] MikeChelen:
Will this cifs.ko work with CifsManager? Tried copying it to /system/lib/modules but the filesystem is read only. Pointed CifsManager to the file on the SD card instead.
[HTC Aria General] dy57:
I have the modules in /system/lib/modules , but I have a rooted aria (mounted /system in recovery).

You can also install under /system by copying to the CM update .zip and flashing.

CIFS Manager let you specify the location of cifs.ko in settings.

Let me know if it works...
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
Obviously Samsung has no idea how to write proper drivers for Android phones running the QSC6085. I found a workaround that fixes any issues with GPS.

It's completely simple, turn off WiFi and 4G when you're trying to get a lock.

Proof 1:

I stood outside in broad daylight with clear skies connected to my home's WiFi network. Using GPS Test, my phone discovered 12 satellites and made 0 connections for 3 minutes. I closed the app, disabled WiFi (used 3G) and I got a lock of 4 satellites within 15 seconds and 6 - 8 after another 15 seconds.

Proof 2:

I left my house and went straight from WiFi to 4G. I got in the car and turned on Google Navigation. I set it to my destination and waited for a lock. After a minute I turned off 4G and got a lock within 15 seconds.

THIS PHONE HAS NO MAJOR GPS ISSUES. Obviously these are simple bugs and I have no doubt in my mind that Samsung is aware of these and will fix them in the next update.

Other GPS bugs I've noticed:

No matter how many satellites I have locked on, my accuracy has never gone below 30 meters.

SNR numbers are really low. According to a leaked ROM for the Vibrant, this can be fixed.
[Epic 4G General] barakisbrown:
K.. I checked your tips..

3g only[Inside Apt] -- floats between 7 and 8 sat and usually 6-7 locks

Wify Only[Inside Apt] -- Solid 9 satalites and 7-8 locks

4G[no wifi] : stopped with 4 sat and 4 locks but I noticed that my 4g likes to sleep
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Yes, it seems that when using WiFi, that updated ephemeris data is not being transmitted, however, it's not bulletproof - after a day or so, it'll try to lock, the 3G connection will go dormant, and it'll just sit there...
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
I have three epics and have been working with *#1472365# settings and testing for about a week.

I am concerned you maybe getting a false positive on repair of the main problem until you confirm, with no resets and further changes to *#1472365# (which reset the cache) that 24 hours later and in a diffident position you do lock most sats Epic sees.

There are a dozen things you can do to flush out the xtra data cache, just none that I have found that persist and to it regularly (ideally with a couple hours at most for ephmeris, and a day o r two for alamanc). Most proper aGPS implementation will also give the device a minute on warm/hot start, and if is seeing and not locking, grab new assistance data from the best source (first choice network, second birds)

I do think sammy is teid itself up in knots with drivers because of the many different agps environments Galaxy S is sold in. It goes way beyond GSM v CDMA, but also even bigger considerations, like agps data source adn methods, and even whether the device is in a unlimited data carier environment (like our epics) or not.

have you done any testing with the xtra settings themselves? seems to me that is where the rubber hits the road?.
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
The only change I've made with my phone's *#1472365# settings is setting it to Cold Start to save battery. I know in testing builds of the Moment aGPS addresses were set to internal testing ones that didn't work.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
No problem with GPS here. I use Navigation and CoPilot and both pick me in seconds. Navigated from the mechanics workshop today just to test it out and worked like a charm. Guess some have it and some don't.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
yes me too, and further, with speedtest app, the only way i can get it to lock on a server that is near me is to have wifi on when I start the app, then it locks on my server, otherwise, it has me 1500 miles away as closest server.
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
No, we all have the same bug and Sprint Device team is trying to get samsung on it.

You just haven't been in a condition where it occurs, whcih is turning on GPS in a different location say 8 hours later absent flushing the cache.

The Epic doesn't properly check the cache for staleness, so everyone who uses GPS will come up on this problem eventually. It is a bug Samsugn has had before.

the reason why I am asking is Epic has in that debug menu are setting to set time for attempts as well as flushing the cache manually. It would be interesting if we could get that going.

the reason I say so is cold start is a good workaround but it will murder GPS TTFF (time to first fix) in non network conditions. It will make it worse than standalone. Literally every time you start it will be a cold start and you will have to wait for almanac, which is 5 to 15 minutes if outside of network coverage. That is what I am seeing with cold workaround. I am still playings with forcing warm

Are you seeing that? with cold stat set, enable airplane mode, restart Epic, restart GPS and see what happens.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
This method did not save me today, when after letting my Epic's GPS go unused for > 24 hours I tried to get a lock with WiFi and 4G disabled. Multiple satellites were visible, but only two were used. Gave up and rebooted. After which, almost immediately, I got 8 out of 9.
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
Yes I think the OP got hit with what hit us in all testing. That is why i am doing careful controlled tests. Since the main issue has to do with failure to consistently and properly remove expired and invalid assistance data cache lots of things may be removing that cache, for example any changes to that cause a reset.

Right now the only consistent way to remove it without user intervention is to go into the debug and set as cold start. The problem with that is it introduces a new problem affecting standalone TTFF, ie once you get outside of data range you will do worse TTFF than dedicated handlheld GPS units that keep almanac in ephemeris.

This problem is akin to some condition where the phone will freeze and not make calls if you don't use it in 24 hours but most people didn't realize there was a time consideration. 90% of the people would be saying there is no bug or that they have a fix.

to test any fix you have to:

get a gps location.

not use GPS for 12 hours or move location significantly.

do not reset or action that inadvertently fushes cache.

test again.

In every case and attempted workaroudn with this test but cold start hack I cannot get a gps fix on any of our three epics.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
@aero1,

The complication in my last case is that I was in Cold Start mode. Maybe I just didn't give it enough time.
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
Cold start set in *#, data connection on, clear sky and no fix within 30 seconds? Please say it isn't so.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
That's the setting alright. I think at first I had 4G enabled when I started GPS Test. But the first thing I did was disable it, thus defaulting to 3G, with GPS Test still running.

But it's possible I didn't give it enough time to lock. I was in my car and perhaps too impatient. I may have given up and rebooted after less time than that.

Since then I have left Cold Start set, and have not experienced a no-lock error condition again. But I have rebooted a couple of times for other reasons. When I started my commute home this afternoon and started GPS Test, it was slow to lock but it came around to a full lock in a minute or so.
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
I've been using the GPS quite a bit this past week. I've had no problems getting a fix except for onces. It was due to the typical bug (find satellites but not connect). I went into the GpsTest shortcut and set it to Hot Start then back to Cold Start. Immediately the GPS started working again.

Switching back and forth clears the GPS cache and fixes this issue. To me, that's the only problem this phone has. As far as I know, this can be an INCREDIBLY EASY fix if anyone can go into the source and put in a way to periodically clear the cache.

If you guys haven't tried Super Manager yet, it's hella awesome. Played with it for five minutes and ditched Root Explorer. And it's free.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] erasmogjr:
I tried it but it wasn't for me. Looks like a really great app but I think it is trying to be too much. I don't really like these all in one apps, for example I never use task managers except for the one samsung includes. I don't like the auto killers and having to exclude apps I went for a run this morning with super manager installed and it kept killing Pandora. I know how to fix but that meant I had to stop and deal with it. Instead I held home, went to packages found Super Manager and uninstalled all while only slowing down to a jog. Super managers menus are a bit more unintuitive to do this with. I would recommend this app for anyone who uses task managers and task switchers as the built in switcher is pretty cool, reminds me of SBSettings. For me I will stick with SU File Manager and Browser, been using it since the G1 days.

edit: almost forgot to thank you for the recommendation, I love finding and playing with new apps even if I end up not keeping them it allows me to help other people I know that want an app like that. I have a friend who is going to love super manager I know
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Zennmaster:

Time/Location Problem

Hope this is the right place for this question - I have a Telstra HD2 and live in Sydney. However, whenever I do a soft reset/hard reset the default location for time, etc reverts to Brisbane, which is in another state. Creates problems with time, especially daylight saving. I have tried changing all the usual options but with no success.

Does anyone know of any registry setting, etc that might apply. This is my second HD2 (previous one had a GPS problem and was exchanged for a new one - and still the same problem. I also noticed the demo HD2 in the Telstra store today was set to Brisbane as the default location (again, the shop is in Sydney).

Any help???:(

Thanks for the advice, I had tried the above, but with no success. However, I had also posted on the Forum for the Telstra HD2 9193 version and received the answer below from Tmorgan4 which seems to have fixed the problem so I am quoting it here for the benefit of anyone else who might have a similar problem. There are so many places that can cause a problem, the trick is to find the correct one.

Tmorgan 4 says: "I think I used to fix it via Settings Page - All Settings (down bottom right) - Personal - Phone. Under that is a GSM/UMTS Services Tab. Under Time Syncronization disable it."
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilco:
The problem is there are three ways to sync the time on the HD2:

1) Sync with Internet

2) Sync with telecom provider

3) Sync with Activesync

The first two options use location. If your location is incorrectly determined, disable the location service and set your location manually.

It is my experience the Telco Provider time is not so reliable :(

Yesterday My provider insisted it was 6:05 when actually it was 10:25.... (I now Disabled it)

Internet time / Activesync time are more reliable, if your location is correct.

Disable location service if the phone determines your location wrong.

I do not know, but I can imagine syncing through Activesync can cause problems if your computer is in a different timezone as your phone (eg, computer has London as location and phone has Amsterdam as location)

Concluding:

Four settings can influence time on your phone: Activesync, Internet Time, Telco Provider and Location services.

History:

A few weeks ago: Used unrevoked3 to root, installed the leaked 2.2 OTA.

Two days ago: Was bored so I decided to try cyanogen mod 6.02. Got it up and running, but upon rebooting, it got stuck in a loop during the blue cyanogen boot animation. I said screw it and found the OTA leak again, loaded it and everything works fine...

Except... Last night I was trying to get a new splash image to load, but it wouldn't load. I can't get PB31IMG.zip to load, either automatically upon entering HBOOT, or manually from within clockworkmod recovery. This is the error that comes up when I click RECOVERY from within HBOOT:

I can't get any SD Checking...
Loading...[PB31DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PB31DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PB31IMG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PB31IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!

This happens with ANY PB31IMG.zip. It will not load automatically. I tried doing a new splash screen, so I downloaded a couple, already named appropriately, with the appropriate files [and they worked for other people], but still, it reads out the same errors as above.

So, what can I do? I don't mind doing full, rock bottom, format's/reinstalls, etc, I just need to know how or what to do. I really don't want to mess this phone up beyond repair.

Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I also can't get any bootanimations to work. Actually, I got a download [from the boot animation thread on here] of the stock one working by mount /system, mount /sdcard and adb push from my computer. But, no other animations will work.

From within clockworkmod recovery, when should I, and when should I not mount /system, /data, /cashe, /sdcard, /sd-ext? I understand the mount USB storage, but isn't that the same as mount /sdcard above?
