DISCLAIMER: Nobody -- and I do mean nobody -- is responsible for a bricked device except for the person attempting this modification. Do not contact me to complain that you borked your Slide by not following instructions.
All credit for this discovery goes to knowmercymod
Certain Espresso owners running CM6 (or CM6 derivatives) may have discovered that their wifi functionality doesn't work as expected. The issue is well-documented on the CM6 issue tracker [issue 2153] and the cause of the problem is known, but there is no source-based solution at the moment. As such, there's no easy way to distribute a fix for working wifi within a packaged CM6 zip.
The issue relates to missing GPL'd drivers for the MSM7227 chipset from Qualcomm that is used in several devices, most notably the HTC Espresso, Legend and Aria. But due to small versioning differences in certain aspects of this chipset, some devices have functioning wifi using the generic open-source SDIO modules and others do not. The permanent solution for this issue is cajoling HTC into releasing this code -- this process is already underway -- but, in the meantime, this thread will serve to provide a temporary solution that is 100% effective.
So let's get started...
Step 1: Downloading the necessary files
Attached to this post are the two files necessary to fix this issue:
sdio.ko
tiwlan_drv.ko
They both come from *stock* Espresso -- the code currently in use in the CM6 repository does not generate fully-functional versions of these modules.
Download the "modules.zip" file to your PC and extract the two files to an easily accessible location.
Step 2: Backing up the corresponding files on your device [optional]
This optional step will walk you through backing up the existing files on your device. This is completely unnecessary as those files can simply be restored by re-flashing a CM6 zip, but I figured that people should get in the habit of backing up stock files before modifying their device.
To do so, execute the following two commands -- both can be done while the phone is booted up or in recovery (if you're in ClockworkMod recovery, just make sure your system partition is mounted -- partitions->mount /system):
Code:
ADB PULL /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko [DESTINATION]
ADB PULL /system/lib/modules/sdio.ko [DESTINATION]
To use my PC as an example, I would connect my Slide via USB and enter the following commands on the command line:
Code:
ADB PULL /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko ~/Documents/Android/Backup
ADB PULL /system/lib/modules/sdio.ko ~/Documents/Android/Backup
Step 3: Replacing the files on your device
So now we're ready to make the actual modification. First step: boot into recovery. My preferred method is to use the ADB REBOOT RECOVERY command.
Once you're in ClockworkMod Recovery, please make sure system is mounted -- partitions->mount /system
Then you would simply execute these two commands:
Code:
ADB PUSH [SOURCE]/tiwlan_drv.ko /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko
ADB PUSH [SOURCE]/sdio.ko /system/lib/modules/sdio.ko
To use my PC as an example, I would enter the following commands on the command line:
Code:
ADB PUSH ~/Downloads/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko
ADB PUSH ~/Downloads/modules/sdio.ko /system/lib/modules/sdio.ko
Once you've pushed these files, simply reboot your device and you're done! You should no longer have any issues with your wifi connectivity, including (but not limited to) full wifi tether functionality when using the Wireless Tether 2.0.5 application.
And, again, all credit for this temporary fix goes to knowmercymod (who is far too humble to post this himself).
Saving this space for future updates...
I hope this fixes my frequent disconnects, but on the legend section they fixed the problem by changing the channels to 14 instead of 11, not sure if that will work for espresso.
UPDATE: Works great! Thanks for posting this.
Very exciting news! I'll fully charge and try this fix. Looking forward to using CM instead of stock.
Just pushed the files to cyanoginger 1.1.. wifi and wifi tether both appear to work perfectly now
Cool, thanks for posting!
I did it, not sure if it did anything. Weird thing is, after pushing the 2 files I noticed I forgot to mount the system folder but it said it transfered successfully.. *shrugs*
I think tethering was working before, either way though, it works now
Awesome! Thanks so much for the hard work. I know you guys will manage a perm fix via a regular rom soon. HTC will cough up that source code for ya
Just chiming in to say this works for me. Takes a little longer now to connect to an access point than it used to, but rock solid after that. With s-off, didn't even have to be in recovery, just mounted system rw, pushed files, and rebooted.
Sent from my MyTouch 3G Slide running CM6.1.1
Did it right off my phone with sufbs file manager. Great job hopefully its integrated in next cm build.
I keep getting a "out of space" error when I go to copy the files.
Please help.

If you have not applied s-off patch by alpharev, then you have to push the files while in clockwork recovery, after going to the partitions menu and selecting mount /system. If you are in fact s-off, you have to use a terminal emulator and type [code}mount -o rw,remount /system[/code] and then push the files

CM6 wifi works fine for me, but would these drivers work better with my phone anyways since they're specifically made for this phone?
Applied this on Arayaray revamped which seemed to have spotty wifi for me especially when accessing the market. After applying this the wifi is perfect not a single problem at all now, thanks so much!!
I refuse to connect my phone to my pc. Is there any way to get these files pushed onto my phone? Terminal Emulator work? If not, it's cool. Wifi seems to be working for the most part under CM6.

It depends. These files are taken *directly* from the stock espresso rom and are known-good. If you're not having any issues with wifi running CM6 I don't feel comfortable telling you this will "improve" anything -- but I don't think it would hurt. In any case, if you follow my instructions you will have backed up the original files and can restore them at any time.

Uhhhh -- why? That seems incredibly myopic and weird. You know what -- never mind -- I don't want to know. You can use a terminal emulator on the device to move the two files from your sdcard to their rightful place on /system. I'll leave it as an exercise to the user to figure out the correct commands to do so.
Well I'll tell you anyways... MyTouch Slide always acts funny when plugged via USB to my pc, more-or-less so Windows 7. I could say this is an uncommon issue, but it's not. So it's not weird.
Mine works just fine, whats funny about it when u plug it in? Sorry to bring this up here herbrewtoyou but im curious lol

Hey guys I just pushed the 2 files to my phone, I'm running CM 6.1.1-Slide - since I flashed to 6.1 and then reflashed to 6.1.1 I have had 0 Wifi capability. So I push these files and followed the instructions, and well I still have no wifi. I will enable it and it will scan, try to authenticate and then disconnect and repeat.......any ideas???

Sounds like an issue with your router...
No its def not the router, phone would connect all day long before switching to CM.
I have been having trouble connecting to my work VPN with the G-Tablet. I have since tried going to ZPad 3.0 in hopes this would fix the issue. However, no luck. The VPN server is reporting an event error of 20209.
After a few hours of looking on other forums it turns out this have been an issue since Android 2.1. They have either intentionally left out the encryption module from PPPD or it was forgotten in the build. The 'fix' is to copy the PPPD file from a version prior to 2.1 (Android 1.5?) and save it to the System/xbin directory. However there is an argument over if should go into system/bin for 2.2.
Does anyone have more information on this - or better yet a fix/update? Any help on this would be appreciated.
which ROm are you using
stock ROM doesn't have VPN at all.

I'm using ZPAD 3.0 ROM at the moment.
I have narrowed it down to a problem with the MPPE 128 encryption. I have found a PPPD that is supposed to fix the problem (see link below), but I don't now how to get it to the system directory. How do you mount system as R/W?
Alternate PPPD:
H***://melko.hiljanen.com/~qvr/android/ppp/
Root explorer will allow you to mount it that way

Ditto!!!!!!!!
Tried your link, getting the same error I've seen in the past:
Code:
pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because
the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not
included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a
module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check that
ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net.
See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.
I think(?) we need a customized kernel with ppp. So far, we have NTFS and CIFS support that's been added by some of the devs, here.

No luck. The PPPD file didn't make a difference. I guess I should not have been surprised. The L2TP connections are supposed to work so I may try that tomorrow - if I can convince the network admin to make the changes on the vpn server.
The lastest info I have been able to collect on this issue is that it has been known at google since 2.0 was released. They were having a problem keeping a connection using MPPE 128 over PPTP so instead of releasing something that did not work right, they removed support for it until a later date. Said date has not been determined.
I will keep you posted as I find out more.

I came across this too. Since the ppp directory exists under system/etc I have made the assumption that there is support for it (at least under ztab 3.0). In order to check using the method above we would need a terminal app or some other way to run the commands. If there is a way to do it natively I am too new to know.
Any devs willing to tackle this issue?

Do you need tun.ko/kernel support for this stuff? Clemsyn compiled that into one of his kernels - check his thread in the Development forum out, and give that kernel a try with the Vegan ROM, that might get you closer.

That could be worth the check. I would like to see a list of exactly what his kernel supports before I try though.
[EDIT]: Checked change log. VPN module in kernel not mentioned.
Looking over the list of known issues at Google, this problem has been known for a while. The fact that Google hasn't addressed it worries me a bit. It is possible that since phones are the largest part of their OS client, VPN isn't a high priority. They may be waiting for the open source community to solve their problem for them.

YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE ROOT AND BUSYBOX INSTALLED. PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
1st you will need the new kernel found at the below address.

2nd you will need to insert the tun.ko included in with the kernel into /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.27-cyanogenmod folder on the tablet using root explorer.
3rd you will need to install the latest version of vpn from

4th install a terminal emulator and then you will need type the following commands
su (press enter)
cd /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.27-cyanogenmod (press enter)

I know there are threads like this out there, but none of them fitted my questions...
Hi,
in this post, seo posted some ported sense 3.0 apps and widgets for Sense 2.1 GB roms.
I tried to install some of them and got MMS to work.
Then tried to get Rosie and widgets, but they wouldn't install directly, so i started playing around with ADB.
i think adb is fully set up, i am able to pull apks from /system/app.
problem is, i am obviously unable to push, install or uninstall system apps via
adb push
adb install
adb uninstall.
this was when i tried remounting (with remount,rw etc.) and was able to "rip off" rosie.apk (i know it worked as it wasn't there anymore later on ) but still was unable to install apps (with the effect i hadn't got a launcher at all.)
latest step was creating a signed update.zip, didn't work, recovery just restarts.
anyone help? someone got experience which may help me? i went through about 10 or 20 guides and am kind of desperate right now as things just dont work
thanks

Pull me a recovery.log when you try installing the zip, and I'll have a look for you.

S.O.D. proudly presents.... recovery.log!
Here it is, i attached my own update.zip (rosie-signed.apk), maybe you could have a look at it as i don't know where the fault may be.
greets SOD
I would already be happy if you managed to solve the update.zip issue (would help me with other updates) but the main prob is adb noch really working, seems like some system part is blocking this?
my hero was originally a t-mobile google g2, created goldcard, rooted, custom recovery, new radio and custom rom.
a few details:
device HTC Hero (T-Mobile Google G2, the black one )
rom Salsasense RC2 (at the moment...)
recovery CWM 2.0.5.7 (think so, but im sure i got the latest)
sd 2gb
ooookay, tried to edit existing salsasense, resulting in non-functional rom rebooting into recovery.
JieeHD may you probably cook Rosie.apk and HtcClockWidget3d.apk in SalsaSense RC2 and upload it just for testing? much better would be to give me the keys to do it myself *still learning*
i tried it but the situation above occured^^ maybe some md5 thingy?

jieehd's tip of single lines for every command doesnt work, same as above.
error 0 = apk is not made for your device/rom, wont install.
error 7.. dunno, think its not matching binary or parsing error.

i doubt weather will work as its eating HUGE amount of resources. if u want this lockscreen, maybe try salsasense, has got a 3.0 alike lock...

Got some questions.
1. You want WHAT? And what is the purpose?
2. In how far is this related to this topic?
3. If u give us a path to this file, why do u ask where it is? Maybe try dowloAding some random rom (probably some ruu) and do extract & search..
4. Are you really willing to contribute to this topic? I dont see the point of posting this.
5. Obey forum rules. If u have got a question, post it directly in q&a section, not in some random topic or directly explain the connection to the actual topic.

Haven't seen anyone posted the CIFS module for stock Dell Streak kernel. So, attached a copy here for your streaming enjoyment, built from streak_3.09_kernel, tested on stock ROM 360.
Remember to load slow-work.ko before cifs.ko
Happy streaming
UPDATE: Attached nls_utf8.ko in case anyone needed the UTF-8 support as well.

Btw looks like you're using 360 ROM as well. Do you notice wifi turning off when you lock the screen with the power button? Looks like I need to solve that one now to be able to stream music with the screen off
UPDATE: It doesn't seems to be entirely shut off when screen is turned off. Audio plays intermittently, 2-5 seconds pause, continue playing, all over again. Not skipping though
That is very annoying to me too, bcs I do a lot of Skype voicing but have to keep the screen on bcs of the connectivity issue on the wifi . Yes exactly the same symptoms but not only on the 360 also on other customed ROM . Atm I am using 2.3.3 from fardo and the same issue here too.

Good news that it isn't because a bug on the cifs module I built as I've modified some code
I think I remembered having the same problem with IM+, sometimes I found my session disconnected when turning the screen back on.
It seems to be the problem with some bandwidth limiter when screen is turned off. There is already a solution, not sure if we can apply it to Streak's firmware.

Hmm the zip files on the first post isn't a clockworkmod update.zip. You need to copy over manually on rooted systems.
But I've packaged them as update.zip in this post's attachment
Basically, the easiest way to enable cifs support is now:
1) Flash cifs-streak360-update.zip with StreakMod or CWM.
2) Install CifsManager.
3) Open CifsManager settings, check the "Load cifs module".
4) Make sure "Load via insmod" is checked.
5) Set the "Path to cifs.ko[:<modpath>]*" to "/system/lib/modules/slow-work.ko:/system/lib/modules/cifs.ko", without the quotes.
6) Now the cifs module won't get loaded on system startup, but instead loaded on demand when you start CifsManager before attemping to mount samba shares.

well I have root and cifsmanager obtains root access correctly, and I have busybox installed as well (1.19 iirc).
to troubleshoot I have also tried a 'clean' mount command from shell which reads

# su mount -t cifs -o username=xxx,password=yyy //server/path /mnt/cifs/
and I still get mount: invalid argument.
Quite baffled I am

Would removing the double slash before the server host or ip helps?

Try replacing "su" with "busybox". But run "su" before that

Nothings changed. I notice though that the error goes away (or at least changes) as soon as I remove the -t argument. I tried just for checking to mount blabla -t nfs and i still get invalid argument. It seems that mount cannot understand -t ??? doesnt make sense
This is a compilation, some of my own thoughts combined with ideas from others scattered throughout this forum... I really can't credit anyone other than who has already been credited above because it's just standard ideas.
Please feel free to add legitimate tips and tweaks to this thread so everyone can have a better TP experience! If it's noteworthy and people say it's helpful, I will add it to this OP!
1. Download the proper GAPPS and GAPPS fix to get Calendar working (thanks Stroid01, I borrowed your links from the original install thread)
2. Download the Charging and SystemUI fix from Dalingrin
3. Download Chainfire3D and install the Beta EGL drivers. Why? They fixed a lot of visual glitches that came with the stock ones.
4. Download and install the latest Adobe Flash 11.1 from the Market to enable Flash video, otherwise it won't work right out of the gate.
5. Enable USB transfer: Settings -> Storage -> Advanced (the 3 little dots in the top right corner) -> USB computer connection, then check the box next to "Media Device (MTP)"
6. It was in my best interest to change the DPI of the LCD, it'll look much better and the icons won't be so huge, my favorite has been 132 (though others have reported 145 to be good as well): Edit the build.prop in Root Explorer (mount R/W first) and change the line "ro.sf.lcd_density = 160" to "ro.sf.lcd_density = 132"
7. Install the cracked Market to fix any issues with your new DPI settings (Thanks, marios96)
8. To run Gamelot games edit your build.prop (it's located in your /system directory) to say this (I changed mine to XOOM instead of DROIDX but the idea is the same, thanks ssconceptziew):
ro.product.model=DROIDX
manufacturer=motorola
I guess this could be moved to the Development forum, I just thought this would be appropriate here since it's not actually involving developing something, just tweaks.
thanks, guess i will try the chainfire thing
How did you install chainfire. Tells me my device isnt compatible. And where do i find the drivers. Thanks in advance

When I try to install an app in the market, it gets stuck at the downloading stage. Is there a way to fix this? I've tried doing a fresh wipe and install of CM9 but nothing has worked! Also, I'm having problems downloading the UI fix. The countdown keeps on repeating.
Thanks. Looks much better now.
On WinXP I could not get MTP to work until I disabled debugging. Once I did that it showed up on my computer as a media device.

Also install the cracked market from above to fix any compability issues with the new DPI.

I have the same problem. If I figure it out I'll post it here as well.

Find an APK online. I'm not telling you to go get warez and download the pro version, I'm saying go get a free version.
And Chainfire is a driver program. That's what it's for, installing new drivers
I already got the pro version . The free version dosnt have the driver

You can also mention changing the kernel so you can get voltage control.

Flashing the new kernel didn't give me any voltage control in SetCPU.

Yeah, there's no voltage control in SetCPU even though he states it in his change logs. It does work in System Tuner though.
Tried, and you're right. The different kernel is a bit more unstable at this point in time, however. I am using it, but it's not for those that don't mind more frequent reboots (what's funny is that this is also my primary work device.... lol).
I have a tweak.
To run Gameloft Games edit your build.prop to say this:
ro.product.model=DROIDX
manufacturer=motorola

Did you copy the build.prop to your internal, edit then replace and restart. You can't edit it in place.
