Hi!

Somehow I got stuck in the Foliomod V01...

When I'm in system recovery trying to upate to a later version I only get:

E:Can't mount DEFAULT_PATH

Finding update package

Opening update package

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(No such file or directory)

Installation aborted.

Formatting MISC:...

When I choose: apply sdcard:update.zip

The same message pops up.

Anybody who has got an idea, how to fix this?

Toshiba folio 100 users - general info

I have created a new thread called "Toshiba folio 100 users - general info

" at "Android Software and Hacking General" level, to use it as a place it discuss all ideas, suggestions, problems, improvements about this device. In this way we can clean some of the general issues in the Dexter FolioMod thread.

Du har nog rätt :).

Anyway, we have some good hardware in our machine and I'll think we will have some exciting months ahead of us with our device.

[Folio 100 Android Development] pekka91166:
I agree with one of the earlier posts on Android (especially Tegra2) tablets versus others, including iPad.

If you're simpoly looking for a tablet which works and works very well, get yourself an iPad. And accept it's a pretty much closed OS.

If you're looking for a working Android tab, go for the SGT, although I'm not sure how well the TAB is working.

With all these tegra2 tablets, we're in for some disturbing months. Right now, these products all seem to suffer from pre-release firmwares which haven't been adapted well enough to the powerful (and partly cheap) hardwarechoices the various suppliers have chosen.

In the case of the Folio100, I knew very well I was buying a product with factory-default rubbish FW, but after reading Dexter's posts I figured it was worth trying, playing, failing and reinstalling.

All in all, I'm happy with the Folio, it's definitely NOT the product is should become, but pretty decent workeable and, last but nost least, FUN (and irritating at the same time).

I just hope Toshiba will, at some point, come with an acceptable FW AND that, in the meantime, Dexter and others will be able to cook some nice firmwares based on 2.2.

The Folio FEELS at some point very powerful, so the Tegra2 should be able to perform, but most of the times it seems lazy. For me a clear indication its the firmware of the machine. Unfortunately, it's a bit the same with a Galaxy S-phone. Powerhouse, but the firmware (2.2) is yet not there to unleash the full power.

Let's hope we'll get 2.3 running on our Tosh and that it supports dual-cores. I expect until then we'll have a nice (and often frustrating) toy to fiddle around with.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Dual-Core is really there already

Some tech stuff for those tech guys here..

So it seems that our dual-core tegra2 is already available and utilized, but seems not often to get activated.

if you during bootup, run this in shell

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7l)
processor : 0
BogoMIPS : 1998.84

processor : 1
BogoMIPS : 1992.29

Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp vfpv3 vfpv3d16

you notice the "processor 1" is running, but it very quickly dissappear from this list..

so i think we already got our 2 cpu's enabled, and probably due to incorrect kernel handling its really not utilizing both cpu's as cpu1 simply goes standby in many cases..

with

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

you can force it to activate and stay alive..

pushing the min scaling freq

echo 1000000 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

does not seem to help android much, as general use still do show some lag..

the problems i noted so far seems not to be cpu related or process handling, but the fact our internal storage which does not perform very well in tests.

using quadrant tests, it shows that our device has the same lag issues as seen on galaxyS so although we got ext3 used, either io handling is slow due to the internal storage speed or filesystem still slows down our device.

comparing this to a milestone, we got about 1/3 of the speed of a milestone, so that makes me wonder if it can be tweaked.

Someone else with experience in this area?
[Folio 100 Android Development] tshoulihane:
I think the problem is to do with the latency of the switching in/out. Makes is a general kernel issue, so should have a few people looking at it - including the ac100 hackers.

My GPL tarball from Toshiba is here - hope it uploaded OK. Feel free to re-host it.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=14GBEXJ1
[Folio 100 Android Development] mhgonzalez:
Sorry my ignorance. What is GPL?
[Folio 100 Android Development] tshoulihane:
http://www.google.com/search?q=gpl
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
sorry, did not mean it disabled it, but it did not seem like it was handling the utilization of more core's here. so cpuinfo rarely reports it being enabled.

this i got from nvidia forum, as one way of indicating if core was active and used.

setting it to 0 does cause instability and setting it to one seems to cause and active cpu but maybe not really used. so kernel does handle it differently..

btw,

this is also a good reason for a seprate section, because this soooo OT :-)
[Folio 100 Android Development] tweyer:
well....

Doh.

Just saw, that Dexter already found out about the second core. Feel a bit silly....

Anyway.

I just noticed, that the Folio sets up cgroups for grouping processes. Maybe the cpu.shares values are chosen badly. Or the scheduler setup.

Time to play :)

Sooo happy I chose an Android tablet :D

And where would we be without XDA!

Great notices guys, unfortunately I'm not a programmer or developer, just someone who understands a bit of some inner workings etc.

I'm just digging into the SDK and getting ADB to work on both an AVD and the Folio.

Play-and-learn time:p
[Folio 100 Android Development] WebOSArni:

i think its time for a subforum related to the Folio device.

Or is it time for a communityplatform?

I have a vserver hosted in germany.

dexter if you have problems i can host yout files

and i can make a git or svn if there is need of it

Issues after FolioModv10b + update10b_freez

Hi All,

I have installed FolioModv10b as well as update10b_freez. I still have the following issues:

- Device does not wakeup after standby (guess this is only happening when WiFi is off)

- Home button does not respond, esp after using the device for some time

Am I missing some patch or is this expected behavior?

Thanks
[Folio 100 Android Development] peterchang:
I had similar problem, until I read in the Toshiba manual that we must use SD card formatted in a camera, and not one that has been formatted by Windows on PC. I reformat SD card using my camera, copied the update.zip file onto it, and was able to install.
[Folio 100 Android Development] pekka91166:
I've never had any problems with SD-cards formatted on my PC. Fat32 is supported, and I've already tried Transcend, TakeMS, SanDisk and Kingston SD-cards. All working well and most of them had already other content on it!
[Folio 100 Android Development] Wulfreston:
Dexter, you rule mate! Loving your work.

Only really have two issues myself. On an earlier version of the mod, Skype was working perfectly. However, now it crashes on login. I'm using v1.0b, I think it was v0.2 that worked. I'm sure this is down to the more Toshiba'iness of v1.0b, but it is slightly annoying.

The other is the accelerometer being calibrated to the right (landscape). I really don't like this one bit!
[Folio 100 Android Development] zizouth:

Maybe by that : materiel.net

But the products are still pre-order. Toshiba France has announced the availability for early December
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
if you can fix it, please share with the others, i got many requests on this topic..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
actually is the size not suitable for like apple or similar tablet products with 10" screen? so you should be able to any available cover?
[Folio 100 Android Development] julio77:
Sorry I'm not a developer. I know how to install and run CIFS module but I dont know how to make this module.

I think we must compile the module for the Folio 100 Kernel, but I dont know how to do this...
[Folio 100 Android Development] rob347:
May be it is OT, but… I face to strange behavior with Wifi after applying the mod (but I didn’t test it with original firmware so much).

F100 can’t often detect my AP (b-g-n, WPA2-PSK) even from one meter distance. Sometimes it helps toggling Wifi On/Off, sometimes On/Off whole device, but it is pretty unreliable. On the other hand, it looks like having good antenna such it detects/connects many other APs from wide neighborhood.

My AP works definitely well, because I can connect other devices and surf the net in the moment F100 can’t “see” my AP at all.

Does anybody have similar problem ? May it be somehow related to the mod ?
[Folio 100 Android Development] mhgonzalez:
I believe it is a normal problem from wifi android, cos in my case ocurre the same with the Folio and a Android phone, it read better long distance wifi AP than the my house that is so close.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Trumpfz:
same here

1.0B without any Patch.

My Froyo-Android phone got no problems connecting to wifi.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
as this is not MOD related, could you guys use the new thread for this, which is a "general" problems thread here
[Folio 100 Android Development] SpeedyJDK:
Try look at the shop who sold it to you.

I know the shop where my folio is from has a few accessories.

I'm running the FolioMod v1.0b and I've just purchased the Toshiba Folio TVKit (dockingstation) which also comes with a remote. Unfortunately I can't get the remote to work, is it possible that the FolioMod v1.0b is missing something from Toshiba to be able to handle the remote?

Anyone else who got the TVKit and are running the FolioMod v1.0b?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
if you read previous posts, you got an answer to this question.

Yes I saw that (I've been reading this thread since the start).

I'm going to ask some follow up questions regarding this in the other thread.
[Folio 100 Android Development] killerbie:
Hey dex,

any update on what you are working at? :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
no news on the paid apps.

but,

- Original toshiba wallpaper support back (problem with missing link and dalvik memory issue)

- Text To Speech is added (not just enabled but actually added)

(still require 100% confirmation on functionality)

- small changes to nvidia drivers (comparated to 0.2)

so apart from my patches, the above topics are changed for now.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Spikoror:
WMV support is still strange.

I played the Streetfighter samples.

Video worked, but no sound(which is WMA@384kbit)

Others wont even show . I encoded those myself with Media Encoder-

is it a the mod or is it android itself?
[Folio 100 Android Development] killerbie:
Nice, keep up the good work:)

any news on the OGL drivers? :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
its a license issue.. Nvidia probably didnt buy all the needed codecs, but just so HD with AAC sound was working :-) rest is old and probably not nvidia prefererence, but its not mod issue or toshiba because it was originally not there :-(
[Folio 100 Android Development] ma1999:
wishlist for future fixes:

(These are wishes, if they can be done is another thing)

- Support for usb 3G modems

- NTFS support (allow use of external usb harddisk with ntfs partitions)

- White or light background on default apps

- And a few bugfixes,

buttons sometimes gets unresponsive

sometimes hangs when trying to start from sleep

sometimes it takes time for wifi to connect, even have to turn off/turn on wifi to get connected

[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
Wanted to share an observation i made using the folio regarding the unresponssive hardware buttons. It was on battery n was working fine the batt came low n i plugged the power cord. And when i wanted to use the back hardware button it was not responding. I just removed the power plugg n the button became suddenly very responsive. Plugged it in again n it didnt respond. Everytime i remove the power plugg it becomes very responssive the hardware buttons. I dont know if it is a coincidence or what but i tried this like 50 times n everytime it was plugged it the hardware buttons were not responssive but as soon as i unplugged they immediately became very responsive. Can anyone confirm this. Can this be possible to fix as permanent responssive buttons? I am using mod 0.2a btw. Hope that can help to give some insight in fixing the hardware buttons in next rom/patch.

[Folio 100 Android Development] ommx:
I can confirm you that the remote is working with v.1.0b , coz i have been using the tvkit since mod v.0.1
[Folio 100 Android Development] praman:

[Folio 100 Android Development] lopiumy:
My problem on 1.0b

-Sometime it will lag and when it lag use task manager close all running service also useless. Have to turn off and on again.

-sometime the device will wake up itself and after 0.5sec it suspend again.

has anyone else noticed files suddenly disappearing from the internal storage?

[Folio 100 Android Development] mhgonzalez:

[Folio 100 Android Development] tshoulihane:
Certainly not quite right now, although it looks like the right partition is mounted as /storage, but there is now an /emmc, which is showing as internal storage under system panel (but empty).

The stock arrangement was for the internal storage to be the equivalent of the phone SD, and the SD is an additional 'transient' storage.

Forgot to mention, CPU use seems a bit high, but haven't worked out why yet...
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:

140 dpi seems to work OK. Other issues, no shutdown, no standby.

Some interaction with powertutor and dazzle Widgets seems to prevent wifi driver reloading, but it is OK if I use the settings panel. Battery life seems OK, 80% after 1:20 uptime.

[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
did you try this with stock rom? its more like if this is a firmware problem or mod problem.. if its a firmware problem, it should be posted in "folio generic" issues.. i can from that look at it. but not a problem i created or had influence on.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
lag problem is not actually a problem, but more a Android specific issue on all mobiles too.. and GalaxyS they decided to somehow disable mediascanner at bootup because it require much intensive CPU time, so they just ignores it, and people see better performance, but sadly no music/video/pictures before they decide to scan.

the original wpa_supplicant might have different issues than the patch binary as it actually can communicate with the framework, where the patched one cannot, so no way of intefering here and less chances of problems then.
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
There is currently no support for playing MKV-files in 1080p on the Folio.

In order to do that you need to use hardware acceleration and all the players I've tried are using the CPU to decode the MKV file.

I've been able to play MOV and AVCHD in 1080p and also DivX in 720p.

When contacting Toshiba Sweden I asked them if they will support MKV in their Toshiba Mediaplayer. I got the answer that they will release updates but not likely update the Mediaplayer with MKV support.
