Kernel Modules for Xperia 2011 ICS v4.1.B.0.587: fuse.ko,usb-storage,cifs,ntfs,ext4.. - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Information and Modules description
I was in the need to add some missing kernel modules to my Xperia Mini Pro sk17i with v4.1.B.0.587, and I couldn't find modules compiled for that ICS kernel version, so I decided to build them myself.
All modules have been compiled from official sony Xperia v4.1.B.0.587 kernel sources, using Android NDK r5, and they should be fine with any ICS based Xperia 2011 device (with that kernel version).
This is the list of modules, with some interesting programs using them:
fuse.ko: Cryptonite (used to create encrypted EncFS or Truecrypt volumes, adds support to mount drives so that are visibile to the whole Android system. Note: Cryptonite is not currently able to load the module automatically, you need to load it from Terminal Emulator..se more below)
usb-storage.ko, nls_utf8.ko, ntfs.ko (compiled with write support, currently untested): USB OTG Helper (used to mount external USB drives with USB On The Go cables).
cifs.ko, slow-work.ko, md4.ko: CifsManager (used to mount network shares)
ext4.ko, jbd2.ko: if you wish to use the EXT4 filesystem
Installation Instructions
Attached to this post you will find a ZIP that can be used along with CWM Recovery to install the modules in system.
Download the module, put it inside you SD card, reboot your phone in CWM (which you can install with the Xperia CWM Auto-Installer) and select install zip from sdcard, and browsed to the ZIP. Reboot your phone when install finishes.
Loading Modules
No module is automatically loaded at system startup: this saves your memory and battery (some of those modules are known to drain your battery if always loaded).
To manually load a module you have to open the Android Terminal Emulator and tap:
Code:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/MODULENAME.ko
where MODULENAME is the name of the module you want to load.
Other useful commands:
Code:
lsmod
to see currently running commands
Code:
rmmod MODULENAME.ko
to unload a module.
If you wish to manually load a module at phone startup you should use init.rd or any other method (?) to run custom scripts at startup.
Load Order
Some modules need to be loaded in a specific order:
slow-work.ko must be loaded before cisf.ko
jbd2.ko must be loaded before ext4.ko

Terminal emulator doesn't start? Or is the "insmod" command output telling you that it cannot allocate memory? Either way it seems like your RAM is full and there is not enough space to load the module(s) you want to load.

No, it says like that after I install some modules. Some of them running well, n some says like that.
So maybe my ram not much left to run those modules. Thanx for answering. :thumbup:

It's a while since I compiled those modules and I may recall wrong, but...as far as I can remember it was related to the Linux Kernel version on which our Android OS ROM is based. That is, the Xperia 2011 lineup uses Kernel 2.6 (both on Android 2.3 and 4.0), which requires slow-work to be compiled; if it was based on Linux Kernel v3.x then slow-work.ko wouldn't be needed.

It seems like those modules are already loaded in memory, as it happened to RavinduSha.
Try lsmod: if usb-storage.ko and ntfs.ko are listed by lsmod, they are already loaded, and that's why you get those errors.

Hello zxp,
I want to learn to build some modules by myself because I want to try to build some drivers for cameras, scanner, etc... Can you tell me about where you've got the source code to build or the way to build it?
I've downloaded source code of my android on developer.sonymobile.com. When I extracted it I saw the folder structure like "kernel/drivers/usb". Did you build the modules from source code of that folder?
