Set the wireless to always on.

There a known bug with the wireless drivers from the manufacture.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Deegan87:
Oddly enough, when I leave the wireless on, it freezes after a few hours. If I turn it off all the time, it doesn't freeze.

New Sources?

After breaking out my old pair of TPT 16GB/US and looking for ADB drivers again, I noticed this page on Lenovo's site (click the Downloads tab) has a 180MB "Open Source Code" zip last published 9/21/13, and the zip has several specific Tegra2-related c files. Having not yet delved into the compiling part of Android yet, I wondered if this package would aid in the building of a current/custom kernel or if it was just old news. I've always enjoyed these devices, they just never quite fit my need. I know Koshu went silent for several months this year and nothing new has developed, but I can always hope.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] cdnron:
It's nice to see that there's still interest in this tablet. I have one and it worked fine until it randomly bricked itself a while back and Koshu's build was my only solution. It works pretty well but there are still some quirks with it and it would be nice to see them ironed out.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] DeucesAx:
My ThinkPad is getting even slower than before. I tried reflasing the rom, but that didn't help. It's really not useable at all, even so all I want to do with it is using lecture notes. Any suggestions?

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] obscure.detour:
I was thinking the same thing. I'd recommend wiping the entire internal storage. Since we don't have TRIM support (came with 4.3) I believe at this point we are experience IO issues, although I am not 100% sure. I also keep it in airplane mode as allowing the device to sync/update apps etc really slows it down.

I only use my tablet for Lecture Notes as well. I setup Lecture Notes to save and operate on my sdcard and I feel like that helped a little bit too.

Hope this helps! Cheers!

Recovery Question

I have a Rooted TPT with OTA3.

How do I install a custom recovery like clockworkmod or TWRP? I haven't played with this tablet in a while and just don't remember.

Thanks guys!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Deegan87:
Every couple of months, my tpt starts having issues. Battery indicator is corrupted and systemui crashes. Crashes several times during boot. Only fix I can find is rebooting into recovery and clearing change and dalvik. Does anyone else ever have this issue?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] DeucesAx:
Just a shot in the dark: does anybody here have no use for their stylus and would give it to a starving student for cheap? Would pay upfront to reputable poster
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] ChiefOHara:
Hey, can you tell me how you restored root? I have also the US version and voodoo didn't work as well (no exec permission on su-backup), so I'm stuck on stock ICS. Would be great if you could help me!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] dsw1ft:
I don't think we have access to nvflash because we don't have the key yet. The k1 key was leaked so they can do that.

On another note, this is my second day with this and I love it.

The lockscreen lag has not yet been fixed by the 3.5 update by the looks of the response on lenovo forum.

Another observation is that pen input is really fast.

Lenovo support for Jelly bean

I talked to my Lenovo rep today as we are a Lenovo partner and was told ICS is it. I am doing what I can to turn up the heat on them. If they are going to abandon development, they should give us root so we can do what we want with it. It's sad to have a tablet that is 2 months old and be told that you own an item that is no longer supported and you cannot do anything with it.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Haven't touched the kernel until now. Getting everything to work and stable is top priority at the moment. Playing around comes later.;)

:fingers-crossed:
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] scooteratl:
Source code

I see that on 8/20 they released the source code. Does that mean we can build off of that?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
You are talking about the kernel sources? Well we can build our own kernel with that and integrate additional features like overclocking or filesystems.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Uploaded a wifi-only version. This will be the base for future roms, meaning you have to flash another zip to add the 3G support (one for Ericsson cards and one for the gobi). Well, when it's finished of course...
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] ken_oy:
Support!!!

It is very exciting seeing we got a JB version to run on our TPT.

But I did not try it yet. I update to OTA3.5 without rooting my TPT. So I have no way to using this rom, until I have my TPT rooted, right?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Correct. To install this rom you will need CWM and to install CWM you need root.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mandrsn1:
Versions 0.1-0.4 all ran about the same on my wifi-only tablet. This version is significantly quicker. thanks!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] froader:
I just want to express my thanks for being, really the only developer for this tablet.

Lenovo sure managed to create a real pile of **** and you have managed to show them up quite impressively.

I updated to OTA3.5 on my 32GB US model, then noticed you had a working CWM recovery and O.4 CM10 ROM. I got it loaded up yesterday and I have happily been enjoying using this tablet for e 1st time!

There is still a few stutters here and all, but WAY snappier overall!

I notice there is a little lag on wake. Maybe it's better with 0.5.

I have lost my SDCard which is odd, but will troubleshoot that and update to 0.5.

Edit: removed/inserted card and wouldn't mount. Tested in computer w/out problem. Back to the Think pad and now working. I'll keep an eye on this...

I have your latest CWM 6 recovery and noticed that internal storage was backed up and then wiped with CWM factory reset prior to your ROM. Was it meant to do this? I thought that internal storage was meant to be left alone.

Thanks for the great work!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Well, there is no difference between "internal storage" and "/data", it's all on the same partition or to be more precise: The interal storage is the folder /data/media. So if you backup your device it will backup /data because there are all your programs and personal settings and also /data/media. The same goes for wiping the device. I will add this later to the CWM thread to make it more clear for everyone.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] userno69:
Holy crap!!!! I need to get on this ASAP! Thanks so much dude you're amazing!!!

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Interesting, i hadn't finished this yet, looks like i accidentally added it to 0.5. The browser button isn't working because its now mapped to the pen-only mode but that isn't implemented yet.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Apfelschale:
Truly amazing rom, TPT is now much more fun and fluent to work with, thank you.

Astonishing what one developer can do in his free time, makes one think what those guys at lenovo get paid for..
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] p_razzi:
I seem to have Bluetooth issues with this build. Playing music through the service to a BT speaker is terribly choppy, playing only a few seconds before stuttering badly. The speaker works perfectly with other devices so I know it's the build. Also worked fine with the original Lenovo build.

Are we likely to see any advances on this version?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] martiniturbide:
Hi.

It will be great if Koshu or any other Android ROM developer can create an Android 4.3.3 version of the Thinkpad Tablet.

Maybe the developer can start asking for donation so we can try to raise some money to have an updated custom ROM on this tablet.

Regards.

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Domskibus:
I've successfully flashed the current version of this ROM and it's great. A way faster than the original one.

Just one question: Is there any specific configuration to get the stylus working? Mine does not work, but it could also be possible that the stylus battery is simply down.

In general: Would the stylus work anywhere or just in a Note-Application?

Thanks!

Hello Guys!

Any news here ?

The CM10 0.9.2 ROM is really cool, I use it on my TPT and I`m really happy with it.

The only things which drive me crazy are:

"Black screen of death" After press the power button to switch the display off and put the TPT in the bag, it doesn`t wake up after half an hour. I must switch the TPT off an than on. WIFI is always enabled, LCD Sleep is set to 30min.

What can be the Problem ?

THe second Problem are the "Hangs" of the TPT. If I have 2 or 3 Apps running, often the TPT hangs inside the App for a while. Sometime it is back after 1-2 Minutes, some time I must restart the TPT.

In the perferences i set an option to kill an Hanging App with the long press of the Back-Button. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

In the performance Menu in the Settings I set the CPU Frequncy scaling to Interactive. Which option is better ?

I think all this Problems and little bugs are because we drive the TPT with the old ICS-Kernel (2.6.x), while JB usually use newer 3.xx Kernel.

Any possibility to compile a newer Kernel for our TPTs ?

Thank you for every advice !

Hey there,

sorry for the (really really) late reply. A lot of things changed in my life and this project somehow was covered under a huge stack of other things i needed to do. I don't think that i will resume it, cause lack of time but I'm happy to see that there are still people which are using the good old lenovo. Since my linkes went down together with ubuntu one i will link the OP to rickinoz post like he suggested himself (thanks for keeping the files uploaded).

Hello together

Nice to hear from you koshu,

Maybe someone else will go further and you are able to give him some advice - since lenovo has given us the driver bins there is a possibility for a new kernel as well a higher android version, possible kitkat can be cooked!

Device encryption

Did anybody manage to fully encrypt the device with this ROM?

For me after chosing encrypt, the Android Robot appears, but nothing happens. I can get rid of the screen by rebooting the device. But it does not encrypt anything at all.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] martiniturbide:
I also keep looking to see if Koshu get's back.

I just checked Android 5 and really liked it alot. I wish we can do something to try to get a Nexus alike Android 5 ROM for the Thinkpad Tablet 1.

Regards
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Well I'm not really that far away, checking now and again what is happening here. Android 5 ... well i can understand that most people want the new version for the thinkpad, however with every version the effort needed for the porting increases. This is mainly because of the linux kernel of the thinkpad which is quite out of date. Therefore one needs either to port a new kernel for the device or backport all the needed functions. I'm not enough of a kernel hacker to pull the first option off i fear and the second one tends to become a patched mess. And in both cases i just don't have the time anymore. We would need more devs to keep the support for this device.

Greets,

Hi

I was wondering how hard or easy will be to adapt a ROM of a tablet with the same NVidia Tegra 2 processor to make it run on the Thinkpad Tablet 1.

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Eee Pad, which seems to run the same processor, still have developers running it and updating the ROMS.

For example here is this 5.1.1 based ROM - http://xdaforums.com/eee-pad-transformer/development/rom-t2942560

Sorry if it is a dumb question, I have no Android development skills.

Lollipop

Hey guys what you think of offering a reward to Kosh him develop the LOLLIPOP to us?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] explit:
I think the biggest problem is an updated kernel version. Without a newer kernel we wouldn't see any new Android Version.

The hardware adaptaion is not completly open source, so without the full sources it wouldn't be possible to compile a newer kernel version. Correct me please, if i'm wrong.....

Sad.... Really sad. The TPT1 really has potential, and i'm still using it as my main tablet for work and my daughter - for gaming....
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] portsample:
I concur w/explit's assessment of problems with further development for this tablet. The nuances and special features that we've come to know and love in the TPT would also require access to specific drivers and source code for those "special" hardware features in order to create a next-generation kernel. There are other generic tablets around with the same processor/memory specs as our TPTs that do have had custom 5.1 ROMs written for them, but these lack the special hardware features that are found in TPTs .
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mwbuss8:
I've never developed a rom or kernel, so I don't know specifics, but lenovo released at least some of the source code, including the kernel. I believe development had stopped by the time it was released. On the support section of Lenovo's site it's a 189mb zip http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/thinkpad-tablet-series/thinkpad-tablet/downloads/DS027564 labeled "Open Source Code - Thinkpad tablet"
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] martiniturbide:
I don't think that is an issue that the source code is not available for the "special features" of the tablet. Koshu made a great ROM and I guess that all the source code he used to make the TPT devices to work is available. (or was there some binary blogs on Lenovo's source code?). But I think that the challenge is to have someone skilled to hack the Android 5.1 kernel to put the device drivers that the TPT requires.

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] explit:
Koshu has used the original Lenovo Stock Kernel 2.6.39.xx

It still has some Problems with Android 4.1.2, usually Jelly Bean uses 3.x.x Kernel.

For the newer Android Versions we need also an newer Kernel, which is difficult to compile, because we don't have all the source code for the special HW... :(

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] DiJu519:
https://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/sm/ThinkTabletOpenSource.zip

Does this not contain the kernel and code in question?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Magnusmarshall:
Further development is pointless now since it turns out memory on these things degrades after a few years making it unstable or just plain dead.

Something to do with the Samsung chips used in a lot of these which also caused issues with some of the earlier Samsung galaxy phones.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] explit:
Yes, but there are some problems:

its not so easy to compile a new kernel version from this sources, the special hardware adaptations depend on the old 2.6.39 kernel and adapt them to the newer version would be a big work.

And we have some closed source components, for which there is now source code. (Correct me, if i'm wrong)

.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] explit:
I also think, this is a good idea to motivate Koshu with reward to update his good work, but better would be to update his JellyBean ROM, than compile new Lolipop. The 0.9.1/0.9.2 ROM is good, but there are still some bugs, it would be cool to ironing this bugs out.....
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] explit:
So. After 1 Year with an cleaned up Stock ROM 4.0.3 i made a full Nandroid Backup via CWM and installed the Koshus 0.9.2 ROM. I must say after cleaning a bit and installing all myapps i see, that it works more stable as before.

The Sleep of Death comming only when the WLAN-Adapter is disabled in settings. With a Stock ROM i always disabled W-LAN, when i was online with WWAN-Adapter, now i don't make it anymore, and i can't say, that the battery drain faster.

The only negative thing, that i can say is: Touchscreen will be often disabled when in Sleep-Mode, it must be enabled first with the "Globe-Button"

Maybe someone knows a better way to get rid of it?

The ROM still need some Polishing, as i said, i would donate to Kushu or to somebody else, who will try to polish this ROM, make bugfixing etc.....
