Great work! Any chance the tunneling protocol is included in these newer kernels? I would love to be able to use VPN from the GTablet.
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
I have compiled a kernel that enabled serial USB for you with 10.9.3. PM me on what build you are currently using.
[G Tablet Android Development] bittrix:
Unbelievably cool! Thank you. I appreciate it. PM sent.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Glad you are taking this on. I do think that CIFS support most people would want by default.

I'm trying your 10.9.3 versions both on my zpad build and it doesn't get past the boot.img bootscreen. I'm going to look more into it, the stock TnT boot.img booted fine with my system.img so not sure what it would be.
[G Tablet Android Development] samepic:
Thanks. Just installed it on my Gtab running Vegan Beta5. So far the following are working fine:

Bluetooth

WiFi using WPA PSK

WiFi using ad-hoc mode

External USB Connection to Flash Drive

Sound, SCARD2 work

Will let you know if I run into any issues.

Thanks!

After running/using beta vegan 5.1 with cifs support, itbis going to be very difficult to go back. I am sorry.
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
Try this and let me know how it goes :)

I assume its a CP210x family so I build a module for it.
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
Building CIFS support won't be an issue. I honestly don't use it so I am not familiar with it. I see options to enable CIFS and a few more options related to CIFS. If you can PM me on what options to enable to get it going I would greatly appreciate it.

damn, just found out about this thread.

can someone tell me the benefits of installing this kernel? i'm on vegan 5.1. is there even a need for me to apply this kernel?

NTFS Worked But Needed To Be Manually Mounted

I was able to mount my 8GB NTFS Thumb Drive through the full USB port on the Gtab running Vegan B5.1 with Clemsyn's 10.9.8 kernel. The mount command worked as stated elsewhere in this thread.

I then tried my 1.5TB external drive and it worked as well. Need to figure out a way to make mounting simpler (may be a script).

no wifi on zpad rom

i tried newest kernel on zpad 2.2 and have no wifi. it detects networks, but wont connect. reverted back to orig kernel and fine. Any help? ...please dont tell me i have to upgrade to v3.0, bc it nerfed too much for me to do that.
[G Tablet Android Development] bittrix:
Going from memory here, so forgive me if this is totally wrong... Can't we use udev to issue the mount commands automatically? It's a kernel-level monitor and I'm pretty sure it can fire based on device-type and filesystem.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Use gsscript from the market, and put your command in there, and click on it to mount. One click mount.
[G Tablet Android Development] Frrrrrrunkis:
How do I know what kernel I am running? I admittedly know nothing of programming, but I want to learn.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Is this something that can be implemented in a kernel? Curious on the impact to battery. There must be some catch, since there always seems to be for anything.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
You can download terminal form the market, installed it, and type su for super user, and then type uname -a or other option is to goto settings/about device/kernel version will give you that..
[G Tablet Android Development] ksporry:
Same question for me. I'm planning to update to TnT 3.1.4b with the enhancement pack as per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=885940

Also, I read about a kernel on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=903505

Do they cover the same thing? what are the differences and why would I want to install these?
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
Pershoot's kernel is different. All of the features come as separate modules, so you have to manually load them if you want them (CIFS, NTFS, TUN, EXT4, etc). The performance is also a bit slower than clemsyn's for sporadic taps here and there (it's fast under a load such as watching a video), but that's because it has more agressive power savings. The battery lasts a bit longer under pershoot's kernel than clemsyn's. Pershoot also included some fixes for the power button wackiness.

My advice is to use clemsyn's kernel if you're an average user, since all of the features are built into the kernel. Use pershoot's if you're an advanced user who doesn't mind manually loading kernel modules or writing scripts to load them.

I personally am using pershoot's at this point.
[G Tablet Android Development] vectorcharlie:
Dont know of its vegan or the kernel... But just found that mouse support is inverted... Left/right is up/down and the other way over. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] weeds2000:
Mouse issue is my bad I guess, this was introduced by the orientation/sensor hack. On Folio the mouse position is correct, only the cursor is drawn on the wrong spot.

However, I'm posting here to inform you about a patch to add NTFS support to the volume daemon. So no mount commands are necessary, disks will be mounted when plugged in. The code is based on the latest tegra-froyo source from Nvidia, it changes vold in /system/bin and vold.fstab in /system/etc.

Patch and source can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897075

Edit:

You might want to check the default NLS setting in your kernel. On Folio this has been set to utf8 as default. Without that modification some files where missing in Astro or had a bad encoding.

It may be possible to only add utf8 to the kernel and add nls=utf8 to the mount options in NTFS.java

Can we just use your zip file for the Folio to patch clemsyn's kernel?
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:

If we are running stock 3389 with the performance pack and I apply "ClempatchTNT10.9.8.zip" do I need to re-apply the performance pack afterwards?

Clemsyn,

What you you need to get cifs up on an Elocity A7. Its Tegra2 and running 2.2. I will donate to the effort. Let me know. If others on the A7 site here at XDA are interested and you are willing I'll let them know. Otherwise this is a personal request.

HDMI

First of all, GREAT work!!

I'm pretty sure I read this right, but I want to make sure lol.

If I flash this kernal (over Vegan 5.1), will I bork HDMI?

I'm one of the oddballs that bought a dock and use the HDMI occasionally... more often than not to show off to my IPAD loving friends lol.

Thanks again!
[G Tablet Android Development] sincerity:
Can anybody tell me how to set up cfis manager...specifically what is mount point supposed to be? Complee noob with cfis
[G Tablet Android Development] rapcon:
the mount point will auto populate when you identify your share. For example

192.168.2.8/videos

The next input will automatically be created, something like mnt/cifs/videos

then enter your username for the share and pass hope that helps

None of this will work if you have not flashed one of Clemsyn's kernels with CIFS suppport. Last point, when all above is done, you will need to start the share in cifs manager, the navigate to your file manager when files on that share via your network.
[G Tablet Android Development] sincerity:
Ok cool got it to auto populate....i dont have l/p though....now gettung fail.....invalid argument....thanks btw
[G Tablet Android Development] ellis125:
I'm having problems too. I'm trying to mount an external hard drive and I can view it just fine using es file explorer so I know itsbeing shared but no matter what I try I can't get it to mount using cifs manager. I'm not putting anything into the username and password either since I don't have one
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Mount point is the name of the Windows Share that you want to map on your viewsonic tablet. It could be anything.. I am using the same name, as my windows share, so I know which my pc I am using.

I have two Windows workstation, and I simply use like this:

8-100-media - x.8.100.x is the static address of my pc.

8-200-media - x.8.200.x is the static address of my 2nd pc.

Hope that helps.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Look for in this forum about 4 to 5 pages back which explains how to mount external hd using linux mount commands. It is right here..

su

mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk

You can use gsscript from the market to put that in a file, and you have it available everytime you attach harddrive.

It is like placeholder for the script you want to run.
[G Tablet Android Development] sincerity:

On VTb51. Same prob, tried reinstalling dataloop, no help. Installed a fresh copy of VTb51 followed by this update, still getting error. I reinstalled the previous 10.9.8 and wifi now work, so there is a problem with the new wifi driver. You may be able to fix your tab by going back to the previous 10.9.8.

Thank you for your image clempatchzapd10.9.8t1.zip (3.17 MB, 54 views) which was work find on my Zpad.

Clem, do you think it will be possible to add proxy support? This is one of the stumbling blocks that will keep the G-Tab from being used in the corporate world. At work they are wanting to use those Samsung tabs because they can do proxy. I want to use by G-Tab.
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
Do you mean transparent proxy support?
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Clem, are there any other advantages to the update besides VPN? I do not use this and currently still at 10.9.8 TnT version.

[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
I got it ready, What build are you using so you can try it out? LMK.
[G Tablet Android Development] gksmith:
Yes. There are no proxy settings in the Advanced menu for WiFi and using the TransProxy app always fails due to some iptable failure with nat. From what I read someplace, it's as if the kernel doesn't have netfiltering enabled.

Yes it does.

Battery

I posted this in the tnt lite thread, but also wanted to post it here. Today I installed the latest Clemsyn kernel over a fresh install of tnt lite 4.1. I noticed someone on the tnt lite thread posted about the kernel using a lot ot power. I started watching my battery more closely and noted that in a period of 2.5 hours I used roughly 36% of my battery. I just reflashed tnt lite 4.1 to see if the power consumption is any different on stock tnt lite. It may not be related to the kernel at all, but thought I would at least mention it in case others see similar behaviour.

Fruit Ninja Performs better with this Kernel than my Droid 1...now

Just loaded your Kernel Clemsyn. Unbelievable difference in performance in general using TNT Lite 4.1.0. In particular, the performance and responsiveness of Fruit Ninja, which has always seemed to lag with every other build and combination of builds up until now. Prior to loading your Kernel, the responsiveness of performing the slashes were iffy. Now, the finest swipes, necessary when the bombs are close are now possible. It always bothered me that my Droid 1 would play this game better than the GTab. The GTab now outperforms it! Awesome work!
