[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] obscure.detour:
Am I not understanding everyone's dock issues? When I set my tablet in the dock, my computer and TPT take notice. The TPT displays in the notification area that it has been connected as a "media device." And my computer also notifies me that a media device has been connected, aka MTP. It charges quickly and I am able to browse and copy/paste to both sdcards on the tablet with no issues at all.

If this isn't the way it is working for you, I'd suggest doing a full wipe and reflashing the ROM.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] cajunflavoredbob:
There's no actual problem with the dock connection. The only thing people, including me, were trying to help solve was that the CM software does not recognize the TPT as docked. All dock functions seem to work perfectly, but the "dock mode" is not recognized in the settings menu. The only thing that this does not allow is that there would normally be a sound played when docking. Other than that, it's only a matter of the option being available in the Settings > Dock menu. All dock ports and functions work correctly, however.

Can't figure out why it won't run for me then. I did a full backup, wiped all partitions, then flashed the ROM, and loaded alogcat, cat log, and system tuner pro from the market. All three just show blank output screens. Weird...
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stas.green:
Try Terminal. Enter su, than enter logcat. I had smilar issue. But now it works.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Terminal wasn't exporting the logcat either last night. I tried again today and could not get it to export a log, but it did run for a little while before it stopped showing any logs. I was able to capture a screen shot of the logs at least.

Large image, so it's hidden by default. Everything below the red line is me inserting into the dock, then removing it, then inserting it one more time, before finally taking a screenshot.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Thanks for the logcats. Could you tyr to get the output of dmesg, too?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stas.green:
Here you go.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] DeucesAx:
I also have a lot of random reboots when the tablet is in sleep mode.

Could you explain your steps to me like I was 5 years old? Sorry, total noob here. I would really appreciate it, I like this rom site besides these issues.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] daswahnsinn:
I have noticed that if I let it sit too long with no activity the device turns off.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] ker2gsr:
lol sure

boot into recovery (turn off tablet ..turn on tablet and press vol+ 3 times)

wipe/factory reset

wipe cache

got to mount and mount system... then format system all options under mount

go to advance and wipe davlik cache

now install the ROM

after install go back to advance and fix permissions

reboot system

enjoy
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] DeucesAx:
Thanks for your instructions, i actually understood them, lol. I did everything like you said besides formatting the external SD. Is that essential? Unfortunately I still have the reboot after ~30 sleep.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Did some investigations today. One main reasons for the reboots and or SODs seems to be the wifi drivers. I added new ones to my build tree but that alone doesn't seem to be sufficient. What works with the new drivers and probably with the old ones, too, is to disable the wifi suspend mode. Go into the wifi settings, klick on the 3 dots in the upper right corner -> advanced -> keep wifi on during sleep -> always. This might result into a little more battery drain, though.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Ok, tried wiping fully again, but I still can't grab any logs via adb or any app outside of terminal emulator. Swap USB cables and tried on laptop and desktop. All my other devices are able to run adb over USB and network.

I can grab the dmesg, but it's going to be at least seven screen shots, since terminal won't output to a file. It tries, but the file always ends up as a blank 0KB file. I'll post the screens if you want, I just figured I'd warn you that it's going to be a lot of them until I can figure out why logs and adb are not functioning correctly with the TPT.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Hold the phone. I just realized you can copy the text from the terminal. I just copied the text and pasted it to a document for upload. So, here's my dmesg while docked.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stas.green:
Also had reboots, but after wiping and reinstalling everything works amazingly stable) Tablet lives 3 days without charging, no reboots at all!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] ker2gsr:
Don't wipe external SD the ROM zip file should be in your external SD your tablet may not boot after all that wiping
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] hatlesssandman:
I haven't had any reboot issues whatsoever in fact in my day to day use I haven't run into any issues I also have a dock for my tablet guess I am lucky (I have 64gb us version tablet)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mpad:
sorry for changing the subject - but is the issue with touch controls in 3D games still under investigation? For me it's the only thing that doesn't work in this otherwise fantastic CM10 rom.

except WiFi Tethering maybe ;)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stas.green:
Yep. No news yet. Now everything smooth and fast. But still have this issue with touch in games. BTW tetthering works fine for me.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] rickinoz:
I think this is common to many CM10 ROMs. There are a few third-party apps on Play that can be used as a temp workaround.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mpad:
Can you give us a namw for that workaround app(s)? Please.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] jck_dnt:
HDMI ->Very slow!

First: Koshu thank you very much for your hard work on this. The results are impressive.

Second: The rule of this forum are crazy: I had to post 10 dummies questions to be allowed to post the serious one here....

Most importantly: I have been using my tablet for lecturing with a discrete degree of success. I use to connect the tablet to an external projector through an HDMI-VGA adapter. The problem is that as soon as the image is mirrored, everything is slowed down and the responsiveness of the tablet is drastically reduced (it becomes very difficult to write with Quill or Lecture Notes). The same thing happens if I connect the tablet to an external HDMI monitor (without the VGA adapter). I don't remember having this issue with the stock ROM. Can it be related to a driver issue? Or is the processor too slow to manage two screens?

Can anyone confirm this?

Many thanks!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
It's still under investigation, read parts of the XBMC source code to find out which interface they are using but didn't find the issue,yet.

Will try it when my tpt is charged again. I'm using the same drivers the stock rom uses but there could still be a driver issue. Another reason i can think of might be project butter, i'm not sure how resource hungry it is specially in multi-monitor mode.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] rickinoz:
Have a look at: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=wifi+tether&c=apps

Sorry, I've no idea which of them will or won't work on the TPT. Mine is still running (rooted) stock as I use it for work.

Try the attachment below first as that app worked well on my HD2.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mpad:
thanks rikinoz for the tethering app. doesn't work though. same problem as without special app: it fails while attempting to activate the wifi AP.

After trying to activate tethering the W-lan is off and I'm not able to get it working agin without reboot.

As I'm using mine for work too I think I have to switch back to stock, because I really need tethering to get my laptop online sometimes.

I will really miss the otherwise great performance. :crying:

Another reason are spontaneous reboots, which are occuring quite often right now. At startup I get the info that "mobile data" just terminated repeatedly and I cannot get a connection. I think the main issues with this rom lie somewhere between mobile and wifi connections.

Last thing I wanted to mention is the randomly crashing googlemaps. lenovo had the very same problem in their stock rom from the beginning. It got fixed with the switch to ICS. Maybe somebody can figure something out with this.

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

not to forget: thanks for everything, koshu!!! :good:

(wanted to do this for a long time - stupid 10 post limit)

and good luck with you master thesis.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Tried it today. I can confirm that the tablet slows down, not unusable, though, but noticeable. Not sure if i can do something about it.

Bluetooth tethering is a no go? Did you try to switch wifi to "always on" to fix the reboots?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] hatlesssandman:
I checked the game issue and yea touch input isn't working in many games but I don't play games very often so doesn't bother me. The only thing missing imo is a stable overclockable kernel ;) thanks for your hard work koshu much appreciated
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] pwstein:
Koshu, I'm struggling to make sense of the Gobi/3G functionality on my US TPT. I know... groan... back to 3G problems. Sorry.

3 times, I've factory reset/formatted system/cleared dalvik/installed 8.1/installed 3Gpatch with Gobi found.

Every time, I cannot get the WWAN to function in any form. It will show Bars, AT&T and 'H' on the notification drawer IF wifi is enabled AND connected to the Internet.

Any disconnection from wifi causes wwan to go grey. I've downloaded your files from the OP several times. No matter what, I always have to fall back to Lenovo ICS. I have never had to touch a thing in ICS, the Gobi and Sim just work. No APN, no Registering.

I've done everything I can think of to get CM10 portable for me. Any suggestions?

I absolutely love the kill button (X) on Lenovo's Recent Apps list, any chance of integrating that someday?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Shawnki91:
Hello Koshu and all!

I had to return to the stock ICS ROM. There seems to have been an issue where the touchsreen became unresponsive on the right side when in portrait when using the pen. Now back on ICS I would like to re-map the browser button for the 'pen-only' toggle. Any ideas on how I can do that? I am still rooted! Thank you in advance.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] 2b2b:
wow!

after a short pass by for service in germany - after 2 years occured a sudden bootloop - my ex-us-tpt has now got a we-motherboard and changed nationality :)

got latest ics, which was rootable, this time I took the "risk" and tried cwm and this wonderful jb.

a complete new experience - thanxxx so much for this wonderful thing!!!

same great feeling like on my beloved hd2

with all my joy, I forgot to make a nandroid-backup of my brand new rooted ics - so theres no way back - but who cares :)

keep jellin ! br ! 2b2b

16GB we as it seems :) - would it be possible to flash a nandroid of somebody elses 16we?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Did you install the ROM and the patch in one go? Did you try to play around with the apn (i.e. adding a new empty apn)?

Lenovo ignored that the close app function is already included in JB by swiping the apps to the left. The close button is redundant.

Is the bug in a single app or system wide?

Mapping a button for the pen only mode is probably not easily done. The Pen-Only mode isn't a feature from android itself but was implemented by me respectively lenovo. So, as long as lenovo didn't add a button code for the feature like i did, it's hard to get that feature.

Shouldn't be a problem, there are a few versions floating around in the forum.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Shawnki91:
It is a system-wide bug. I do ALOT of PDF annotation and handwriting on the tablet, and it came virtually impossible to deal with the right 7% of the screen. I tried a variety of apps, and all yielded the same results.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mandrsn1:
I haven't had this issue on my tablet at all. Marking up PDFs is my main use of the tablet as well.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Shawnki91:
Really? Interesting. Maybe I should try and re-flash with some of the methods already suggested. On a side note, which app do you use for PDF editing? I have tried EzPDF, but the interface is terrible, and not very intuitive for using with the pen. My daily PDF driver app is "iAnnotate", but until the full version is released in the future, this app still lacks a lot of features. Adobe's app is also relatively un-intuitive as well.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mpad:
Sadly no bluetooth on the company laptop. Pretty old thing. As I semi-legally use the company sim card indended for the laptop in may private tpt, I kind of clear my bad conscience by beeing tether-ready when at work. :cowboy: So WiFi tethering ist a must for now.

As I'm already back on stock I cannot try to fix the reboots. But I'm pretty shure I had WiFi set to always on. I think the problem began as I tried to restore my APN Settings from v0.7 with titanium. After that I was able to get a 3G connection, but after the first reboot it all went bad. "mobile data and sms service had to be shut down" - problem. couldn fix it. message popped up every 2 seconds.

v0.7 was super stable by the way.

I think I wait for the next version and then gladly return to test it out. :good:
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] rickinoz:
Have you tried USB tethering?

Again lots of apps on Play that might solve your problem albeit in a clunky way.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mandrsn1:
I have been using EzPDF. I agree it isn't the best, but haven't found something better yet. I would say I read 300 or so pages a week with it.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mpad:
This maybe isnt the right place to discuss pdf apps, but maybe you power ezpdf users can help me out. Is there a way to always view the full page withoit zoom, even in landscape mode? Always having to zoom and pan freaks me out!!

But its still the best pdf viewer out there. I also agree that the interface should be better on a touch and pen device.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Shawnki91:
iAnnotate PDF allows you to lock the zoom on a page.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mpad:
IAnnotate is great. Very streamlined. Thanks for the tip.

But back to tethering. Usb would be a theoretical option. But running around with 2 devices is bulky enough. I don't want to ad a cable to the mix.

Usually I survive the day without carrying any cables.

Being back to stock I noticed I have sleep of dead issues nearly all the time when wifi tethering is active.

Something with wifi and power management just isn't right with this tablet. But at least it works.

Another thing I noticed is that boot up time is significantly faster on stock than on cm10. So frequent reboots don't hurt that much.

Is it normal with cm10? Or is there room for improvement? I remember first stock rom in sept 2011 was also pretty slow. Got fixed with first ota.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] obscure.detour:
Has anyone been able to get the 4.2 keyboard working on this ROM?

It closes as soon as a 2nd tap is done.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] pille_gps:
Hi to all

is this also a 64gb version or only for the 16gb thinkpad?

thanks

:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] emuandco:
Well, I used it on a 64 GB one ^^

It works everywhere
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quinting:
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!

Thanks so much for all your hard work...donation coming your way :)

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] nufradio:
Works perfectly in TPT 64GO + 3g thanks.

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] tatusmaker:
hi Koshu

Thank You for the ROM!

l got 2 questions:

1 md5 for the 3G patch do not match (downloaded 4 times )

2 in the sopcast l don't have sound at all

the rest seems to be fine to me exept the games issue ....didn't notice reboots or something...

thank you again!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quinting:
I know what that is, and it excites me too :)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] alexander.euclid:
hi,

just curious, how long is the initial boot after flashing supposed to take? Mine has been at the cynogem circle loading screen for 10 minutes...

edit: nvm, it booted up fine. Thanks!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
I noticed the same behavior. It's not always the second, thought, sometimes i could enter a few chars before it closed.

Thanks :)

1. you are right, seems that i forgot to update the md5sum at some point -> fixed.

2. is this some kind of app?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] vijilKiwi:
So after changing my key settings in the gpio.kl file and everything working fine for a few day the tablet has stopped booting properly. It gets to the slidelock screen but then shuts itself down without accepting any touches.

That's not all - recovery cannot format or wipe anything. I try but it's still there. Reflashing the rom keeps saying its updating my apps that shouldn't be there, and after that it's still broken regardless. Formatting SD card and then looking in the SD card (via "apply update from SDcard") shows that sdcard is not formatted even after reboot. Wipe data/factory reset does not work.

So. Bricked? Can't access via USB either to flash CWM (that I know of). Looks like I never made a backup either, lol. Guess I just don't care enough about this thing to have bothered. I had it coming. I may be able to flash a new rom by manually putting one on the sdcard first if I can get myself a microSD adapter for mr laptop. Then maybe I could reflash recovery... will try that if I get a chance.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] tatusmaker:
yes it call SopCast and it's used for online tv....but seems to be the app itself because i've tested on my sgs2 running cm10 and no sound too so ..nevermind

it's there any problem if l'm going to flash the patch now? l mean l have 2 days since l was flashing the rom...
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Hm, seems to happen a lot these times (I mean the wipe-does-not-work thing). You could try to reformat your data partition (warning: that will include your internal sdcard, so you want to make backups first if you stored there something important). However this is not possible in CWM directly, because CWM tries to keep the files on your internal sdcard which is part of the data partition and therefor only deletes files on the data-partition (no formating of the filesystem). But you can use this file:

format-data.zip

Put it on a external(!) sdcard and flash it via CWM. It will format your data partition and nothing else. (Again: Make backups first if you care about the files on your tablet! )
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
No real problem, however, if you notice any strange behavior of your 3G card (most common: 3G will turn off as soon as wifi turns off) it's a good idea to fully wipe or reflash the rom+patch.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] tatusmaker:
Hi l 've notice that and it's because you have Kies installed on your laptop! am l right? l was having this issue,too u can flash cwm into terminal emulator on ur tablet....just skip adb lines and: "mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.backup (if this gives a file not found error, just proceed)"

cheers

Need Tutorial

I am new to this type of thing with android, and want to make sure i don't end up with a brick. Can some one give me a bit more details on how to flash my ROM?

I have root access.

Thanks

drw170
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] DeucesAx:
I don't think anybody can give you anymore information then already provided in the op. It's really pretty straight forward.

All I can tell you is that I never flashed a rom before either and getting root was by far the hardest part. Just boot into the recovery mode and check out the options. You will see it's all really simple. If you feel overwhelmed, which I doubt, you can always chose to boot normally without doing anything.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] pshaw118:
I had the random reboot issue, but leaving Wi-Fi on seems to have stopped them. After multiple wipes and reflashes, this is the only solution that's worked for me.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] baser5nature:
This has worked for me aswell.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] vijilKiwi:
the format data thing did the trick thanks koshu. *phew*.

lol I went and bought a microSD adapter only to get home and realise tpt uses standard sd.

derp
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] emuandco:
LOL, I know this from somewhere ^^
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] hatlesssandman:
I use a micro SD with an adapter it works so don't rule out micro SD just yet although you can also use the standard SD card as well
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mpad:
YEAH, the Matrjoschka principle :D
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] vijilKiwi:
Now tpt is resetting or shutting down whenever it's been idle for more than a few minutes. Since Cwm doesn't format or wipe anything (besides data) I'm limited in what I can do to try and fix it :(
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] emuandco:
Did you keep a nandroid backup of the original Firmware?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Did you try to set wlan to always on?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] vijilKiwi:
Just set that up after a thread search, cheers. Will see what happens. Reading through it certainly looks like that is the problem. I expect this will fix the thing where it can't reconnect automatically to a network on waking up, something that I seem to recall was also an issue with the stock rom.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] emersonvier:
Thanks Koshu.

Work on my device.

Stuck on Lenovo logo screen

I have been using JB for a week without any significant problems except occasional uncommanded reboots. This afternoon, it did a reboot but stopped on the Lenovo logo. I can reboot it with the power button or the reset button but always stops at the Lenovo logo. I can Also reboot into CWM recovery. I tried reflashing CM10 but no change.

Anyone have the same issue or know how to fix it?

drw170
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Lens_flare:
oh, I probably should say I'm back ;D

damn service brought me brand new power button scheme (in about 44 days - just before repair expires ;[ ), so that tablet works again.

I reflashed it to cm 10, 8.1.. and whoaw, most disadvantages gone since then!(Was on 0.7)

The only issue I have sometimes: it locks touchscreen (no pen no touch no gestures), on log - "mediaserver died".. can't even trace what's up..
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Did you try to wipe, same result?

Thats new, only for a moment or totally locked out?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] DeucesAx:
I have the same problem. If I hit the power button a couple times to lock unlock it usually works again. Sometimes touch input stays disabled though.

Overall not a big deal but if I can do anything to help resolve it tell me what in a noob friendly way. Maybe even in German ;)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Lens_flare:
For a moment, treats only by some lock-unlocks. on 1.7 it happend more frequently though.
