Hey Guys,
mkasick released in his thread a fix for the mounting problems in Android 4.2. Thank you mkasick for this great fix!
So I compiled my own kernel to test it and it works really great :victory: Now we can again easy mount cifs and others! All old apps should work. (For example the paragon ntfs mounter works again! cifsmanager works too!)
Only limitation: the mount point needs to be outside of /storage (and also /mnt/sdcard/).
So I want to share my kernel with you, that you can test your old apps.
The kernel is a "stock kernel" and also includes:
- cifs, md4, utf8
- kexec hardboot patch
mkasick recommends in his thread to patch dalavik, but for the stock-roms it is easier to patch the kernel.
Installation:
The flash of the kernel shouldn't break anything, but I recommend to backup your system.
Until I figured out how to build a working flashable zip, flash the .img by:
Have a lot of fun!
And again, thank you mkasick!

Changelog:
v2 - boot-grouper-4.2.1-vorcers-v2.img.zip:
- I added a tmpfs mount for /mounts, so you don't need to do "mount -o remount rw /" and create your inital-mountpoint yourself. /mounts is writeable by all apps. (done in init.rc)
v1 - boot-grouper-4.2.1-vorcers.img.zip:
- inital release
Some gimmick: One"click"mount-Shell-Script
Because I want to get rid of stickmount, I written a little shell-script to mount all connected devices. It is very similar to stickmount, but it supports: ext, fat32, ntfs. Well, ntfs only, if you provide the path to an ntfs-3g binary. (In the variable NTFS_BINARY) I used in the script the paragon-ntfs binary. Just install the Paragon-App. I will use the script with Script Manager.
