[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
I have found a solution to the 360degree rotation, this one will enable all 4 angles rotation..

but before i post it in Post #1, please someone else report back that you see it working with all launchers, just remember to have "VIEW" -> rotation -> AUTOMATIC set in settings, the LauncherPRO setting does not affect system info.

Download here and test, and confirm functionality.

this does not require factory reset, it will just clear dalvik-cache as framework is changed.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
please more details, i cannot explain/solve if no details are delivered..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
wifi is exactly the same in 0.2a and 1.0a . so its "feeling", even libraries are the same. only framework is different and yes, here they have added more functionality which can be tricky maybe, but it might the "signal strength" which cause it.

if you can use a "adb shell", log into the tablet, run these

cd /system/bin
remount
mv wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant.fixed
mv wpa_supplicant.folio wpa_supplicant

reboot box after this change.

let me know if you see difference..

Hi Guys!

Thank you so much Dexter for your work!

I have an answer for you, Is it possible use the Advent Vega FW that have a similar hardware configuration of folio? Also the firmware is always updated by them and many problems like ours are solved on this device!

Thank you for your answer!

Ciao

Hi,

it is not in your site.

Where can i download this version?

Hi, Dexter

Doesn't work with ADW Launcher.:o:(

Update: Doesn't work with any launcher for me... Why?? Don't understand. :(
[Folio 100 Android Development] shawnfr:
Hooray - now I can use it in landscape upside down so I can read it on a desk :)

Fine with LauncherPro and my app which detects landscape/portrait...
[Folio 100 Android Development] LKKS:
Hi Dexter,

Both your link not working. Pls help.

Tks. :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Seems i caused it when fixing "sync settings", the power widget will not have sync option, as graphics are missing, so that will not appear.

Here is a fix for the problem.

Ill put it together with 360fix later..
[Folio 100 Android Development] bigbbl:
I think he is uploading new fixed one so wait a little until it's up since others files already available from same link
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
it works, just check as written previously, that you did not disable rotation in "VIEW" settings.

i see one other post confirming it? i think :-)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
no, sorry, when i rewrote instructions somehow the link was messed up. .its fixed now.
[Folio 100 Android Development] HCPASS:
I'm with V10a and i've chek as written previously Auto Rotation is Chek in Automatic and it doesn't work. I've test with ADW, Launcher pro and Toshiba Home.

Rotate only on 2 positions Landscape and portrait normal not 360°.

Update: Sorry sorry ho sorry great master, i've just understand my mistake!! I don't have use the good update.zip!!
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
reading Modaco's thread on this model, it seems that they're doing not but what im doing, using Nvidia libraries to update functionality.

So i doubt it will help us much, as i pretty much already added that in all releases.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
hmm, i thiink you did not rename zip file and updated with the "360" fix, but maybe just re-run another update.zip?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Folio47:
thank you dexter, your fix works perfect... :D

calendar

I have 1.0a. I don't see a calendar app. Do I need to download one from market? I need to sync with Google calendar.

Thanks! You're actually doing Toshiba a service. I would have returned mine without the mod.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Trumpfz:
Can't see that much of a difference. Except for not working Ad-Hoc Tethering anymore.

Anyway, the Folio not finding my wlan (for few minutes) was more a random issue I got with Toshiba Stock ROM and your 1.0a. It never happened with 0.2a.
[Folio 100 Android Development] HCPASS:
:o:o so sorry you are right, i chose a wrong file, now it work perfectly.

Thanks.

@dexter:

now, my screen got frozen again, after standby...

any idea about that?

it drives me crazy... :eek: help :D
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
no.. i can confirm the issue, as i have seen it twice here...

problem is when its in standby, there is no debugging available :-( so its really hard to see what happens at this stage... but for sure a framework bug, as i never saw this in previous versions.

ill keep debug running here, as it might also be a leak in framework, which should show itself repeating in log.

btw: very strange, but if the "power" button does not turn it on, i press the "orange light" position too once, and then it powers on? a hidden touch function here?

update:

i think the issue is the wpa_supplicant, i see a few errors in logfile, when screen is turned off..

sad, but then it must be reverted to stock wpa, but the ad-hoc patch is lost , until wpa_supplicant is compiled for our tablet.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Jdbye:
Some observations:

- The accelerometer orientation is wrong in some games (Doodle Jump, Hyperspace, Wave Blazer Lite keep going right, Raging Thunder 2 Lite is ok)

- Some games seem to just be incompatible, maybe with the CPU itself, and just kick back to the launcher, such as Hyper Jump.

- I can't enable bluetooth. Really wanted to test if WiimoteController worked...

I don't know if any of these are issues with the standard firmware as the first thing I did when I got the Folio was installing this mod.

Edit: That was in 0.2a. Didn't realize a new version was out already :)

Offtopic: That 5 minutes between posts thing is pretty annoying, it prevents me from even editing my post. Any idea where I have to go to be approved?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
orientation is a hw issue, im not sure "azimuth" is received correctly from driver.

and yes, cpu wise some gams using binary libraries and those are not compatible, there are some cpu differences which makes it 99.9% compatible but not with everything. (asked the question in another forum, and got it confirmed that Tegra2 cpu has small differences)

cannto confirm this.. maybe you mixed versions and patches?

recommended is to do a clean install then, because BT works 100%

Driver issue is not the same as hardware issue.

However I updated to 1.0b, and now "Enable Bluetooth" is grayed out (previously it just refused to enable). Are there Folios without bluetooth? If so, I might have one.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
no..i doubt it.. if its grey'd out, you probably pressed "flight mode", just press it once, and BT is ok again :-)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:

I've just rooted my folio 100 with z4root, and backing up my files with titaniumbackup.

after that update ^^
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
yes i did note that one..

this is ok in the full version.. i need to update the update10b.zip so its applies files correctly.

but i assume you can run "chmod 644 /system/app/CalendarProvider.apk"

to fix until i make the proper changes.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Trumpfz:
...and

chmod 644 /system/app/Calendar.apk

[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i know from HTC they need a special fonts as well..

if you can extract the log when it happens i might be able to solve it, it sounds pretty much like the programs require the same , and therefor crash, becuse its not there?

so if you want it, and can use adb logcat, please extract a file and send by pm or use http://pastebin.com and send me a link.

A few things I noticed in 1.0b update:

- Very unstable compared to 0.2, freezes and reboots frequently.

- su doesn't work - gives "bash: -c: command not found" edit: Scratch that, was caused by Better Terminal Emulator Pro.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:

[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
Anyone could find out which process is overloading the cpu? If that could be fixed then the Folio would be more responsive.

n is there a need to root the folio before applying the recovery update n the mod? I understood it was not necessary n i didnt root before updating n updated mine as per the instructions n it worked fine.
[Folio 100 Android Development] julio77:

Very good job Dexter, is it possible to include CIFS module in next kernel update ?

CIFS could be great to play movie files from network with Toshiba Media Player or RockPlayer !
[Folio 100 Android Development] Jdbye:
That's what I figured, but it seems like a step back. People new to the mod might not try 0.2 thinking that 1.0 is better.

Also, toggling airplane mode didn't fix my bluetooth, it's still grayed out, thought I only cared about it for WiimoteController and as I understand it the bluetooth has no HID support so WiimoteController wouldn't work anyway, would it?
[Folio 100 Android Development] clonico:
But in the last 1.0b has been removed root permissions?

I understand with permits to 1

How can you close the file slingmedia.slingPlayer.apk now and there is no chance :(( With the original ROM works fine
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
no. its not gone.. just remember to enable Settings -> Applicatiosn -> Development -> usb debugging.
[Folio 100 Android Development] intland:
I now have 1.0b.

I am running Launcher Pro Plus.

Please reply to what I asked earlier on calendar. Am I missing something? Cheers! :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Well, depending on your requirements it weighs both ways for users.. some need wifi, some need usb sticks, some BT . some just wifi and flash :-)

lastly toshiba is the best way forward at least they cover usbstick + bt + sdcard full support, which nvidia did not.

Question must be then, do you have BT before you installed this mod?

because your bluetooth does not suddenly disappear. and im 100% its working now.. btw Wifi + BT goes along somehow..

But if that is your problem you see, so make sure wifi is enabled too.

BT and Wifi is on the same module here, so that somehow links them hardware wise..
[Folio 100 Android Development] DArkwIng24:
I also came over this problem.do not use flight mode. You need to install update.zip again to get out of flight mode. Factory reset does not help. HID works like a charm on v1.0a and v0.2a. So wiimote works great
[Folio 100 Android Development] Jdbye:
Not sure, I installed the mod as soon as I got the Folio.

I toggled flight mode once accidentally, but that was before I installed 1.0b, so the problem should be gone now after I updated, shouldn't it? In 0.2a it just wouldn't enable at all but now it's grayed out like flight mode is on or there is no bluetooth hardware. I will try going back to stock firmware and see if it works there, and then go back to 0.2 since it was a lot more stable than 1.0.

Edit: Just tried the stock firmware - bluetooth is still grayed out.
[Folio 100 Android Development] ommx:
V1.0b feel more like Toshiba stock ROM but more stable and better feature, will try out the TV-kit and remote tonight to see if it working like the stock rom,

thanks Dexter,

will give you more feedback,

*update*

after 2 hours of test, system stand by is working very good...
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
I'm about to buy the tv kit too, but i sticked with 0.2a, is it best to update in order to use it?

Also: anyone on 1.0b can tell me how is the situation with the stand-by problems? 0.2a has solved 99% of these problems, i was wondering if the later releases had brought them back somehow...
[Folio 100 Android Development] shawnfr:
I still haven't been having much luck building from the Toshiba sources... It seems to me they aren't supplying Android source yet, just stock?

What we really need is what Samsung do for Android and release full source, well closer to shipping ROMs anyway.

Of course it could still be my build environment...
[Folio 100 Android Development] ommx:
on 1.0b, the stand by seem to work much better than 0.2a ,

but i can't be 100% sure, so might need to monitor it for alittle while longer ;)
[Folio 100 Android Development] ady72:
Hi Dexter really thanks. I decide to buy Folio just because i see it that there is you ROM.

I have 2 little question.

I just update to your 1.0a yesterday and i'm going to patch to 1.0b this night.

I got i problem. Often i'm not able to resume folio from standby.Power Led blinks but when i press Power button nothing happens i must power off and then reebot my Folio.How can i solve it??

Second question : it's normal that my Folio in standby mode drain a lot of battery? I put it in standby yesterday night al 65% of battery and this morning it was at 12% ??

Is ti normal? Is better to power off Folio everytime??

Thanks again for your work
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Yes, i seen/tried the same, i think i have a correction for that later today, its just a patch..

but there is a freeze box problem, which is being tested, to be fixed if possible.

about drain, i have not checked on it..

Internal SD card does not get mounted.

What does it take to add other locales (i.e. german?)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
internal? you got a "storage" and "external sdcard".

i think internal = storage?

you can chose German in language, but i dont think Nvidia built their framework for any other than US and their development pack is only sold in USA.

but it not so easy.. at least i dont know how yet..

the help is very much appreciated by a noob. thnx
[Folio 100 Android Development] pirkner:
Right - I do have storage! sorry ... However dropbox eg. complains I do not have an sdcard inserted. Stock ROM had storage mounted as sdcard - which was practical I think.

Once an external SD is inserted it shows as /sdcard and all is fine.

I can't chose 'German'. Choices I have are 'English' or some Chinese (I think ;-) signs.

I have got to the Malata desktop :)

Unfortunately I can't get Wifi to work with my WPA2 network. It keeps dropping and showing Error.

I also notice it isn't possible to shutdown...it just starts up again.

I guess you have set the screen resolution higher than the native 1024x600, as I find it hard to read the small aliased fonts? (too old I'm afraid;))

I'm going to have to ask the awkward question... as I can't get wifi working, how do I get back to the stock Toshiba ROM?

Looks promising though...
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
sorry, i used original stock settings for a period, here it showed all languages.

Download "more locale 2", and see if it helps. but again, it only helps with apps that has support for it, but menus will probably not change.
[Folio 100 Android Development] pirkner:
'more locale 2' I have ;-) works partly.

Another funny thing: can't turn off anymore. It just shows the 'malata' screen on comes back into the lock screen.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
problem is that it still uses stock WPA solution, so it it worked in stock toshiba, it should work here, i did not modify anything here at all.

but ill try and change it to the "wpa_supplicant" which should have much better support for different routers, even N routers, as that problem was found on other phone models , which needed special wpa_supplicant parameter. i guess maybe thats your issue?

but look in post #1 for stock rom, you can roll back with now.. same procedure as always..

PS:

you can also change DPI by changing the parameter in "/system/build.prop" to something higher than 120, originally its 160.

ro.sf.lcd_density=120

to something like 160-240.

I should say I just got the wifi to coonnect and Market works... and GMail!

So if I was coming over as a complainer...I shouldn''t. Really impressive what you have managed to do in such a short period of time!

I'm sticking with your ROM :) I am using the Folio to tyoe this....

[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
hmm, strange thing.. if i disconnect charger, it works fine here..?

but yes without charger its not showing up on pc..

maybe related to the "adb" being enabled, ill check up on this,...

i still feel it require more testing, as the Nvidia build is not made for our slate, so maybe just some toshiba guys could perfect the new egl, and we got a better rom.

which again i would mod, with stock android.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
ill look into this.. im coming from android phones, so many apps and i, are used to sdcard being replaceable and the one shared to pc as well.

ill see what can be done, its btw, easy to swap..

ill write a note on it later, as just 2 files in the build will correct what system thinks is "external".

how to make paid apps visible in market???
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
