I installed SDK Android on my macbook, then I connected Folio via mini-USB.

I booted Folio in recovery mode, then on macbook:

- open a terminal

- connect on folio with "adb shell"

- type "ls /dev/block/mmcblk*" (to check if mmcblk2p1 is available)

- umount /sdcard

- mount /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 /sdcard

- ls /sdcard (to check if update.zip is readable)

I applied the update in Folio and that resolved my problem.

@Dexter_nlb, I tried installation of FolioMod v1.3d, I had the same problem (black screen), and I got the sd issue.
[Folio 100 Android Development] laudrup69:
Curiously, because it goes black to change the addresses of the devices.

Thanks Cheko ... I have a mac mini be installing the sdk ... ejem... one more thing Where I can download the sdk android?

Hi,

The SDK is available at hxxp://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html .

Recovery mode is the mode used for update (with choices reboot, update, ...)

[Folio 100 Android Development] julio77:
I test this patch since yesterday, I noticed some things:

Reconnect wifi after waking from sleep works much better.

Sometimes the wifi is connected but the network is unreachable for 1 or 2 minutes, sometimes less.

I do not know if it's related: the Folio 100 is left on all day (on battery), she began repeatedly into hibernation (red LED flashing), and each time it waking up without any problems.

I'll try again a bit more tomorrow.

Nothing to do with the patch wi-fi:

for the problem of touchscreen that will not respond, does it not because of 3D performance hack?

Finally manage to resolve the lag issues (i think) which was driving me nuts. Solution seems to be quite straightforward.

Did a full factory reset from the toshiba bios (vol up up up) and install 1.3d (vol up down up)

Still some slight lag but nothing at the level of the previous lag. Key here is the full factory reset.
[Folio 100 Android Development] nickwarn:
My also has this unresponsive screen issue its damn right unussable sometimes. And i tryed everything do factory resets flash back to stock another factory reset flash folio mod factory reset, and i tryed just factory reset, itryed flashing stock with factory reset and folio mod without factory reset. It really is a big f****g problem. I tryed the 1.3test zip. Its really a shame folio mod is runing so nice than it start to happen no response from screen, the buttons work ussually but not the screen. I trully think we need clockwork recovery so we fully can wipe our device between flashes and wipe cache and dalvik cache or a zip to be flashed with a script that wipes our device completly. Our recovery lets us flash unsigned zips right
[Folio 100 Android Development] genepax:
Perhaps, it could be possible to have a switch to activate/deactivate 3D enhancement in Foliowidget. If it's possible of course...
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
somehow i think we need to compare our folio to a flu, some got it and other don't.. in our case it must be hardware revision id's changing.. you don't get one user with 2 tablets, sitting with the exact same fw, having one tablet doing the unresponssive problem and the other one is perfect..

and the fact you mention clockwork and CM is not a solution at all.. CM is based on propriotary drives (nvidia in this case) and i think the problem is in those drivers or in our hardware. so CM wouldn't do us any good at all.

and yes, our current recovery handle unsigned zip fine.. only missing part is the nandroid option for our device.
[Folio 100 Android Development] nickwarn:
the piont is that the sscreen is unresponsive and of ccourse our hardware differ. And the only difference is not only nandroid, in clockwork recovery we can format boot, system, data, cache separatly, wipe dalvik cache. Because it actually feels like there is stuuf left from the last rom or build when you flash a new. Because flashing folio mod on foliomod with factory reset should be like a clean install, but atleast for me problem is still there. So i have to flash stock, factory reset, folio mod, factory reset and its better. I dont know if clockwork recovery iss the solution, i just know it would be very helpful. And i aam not talking about CM in this thread that was a question and a discussion in another thread.

P.S Keep doin what your doing, its you thaat makes this f***g thing usable
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
reasons for the recommended wipe-factory-wipe setup is;

When FolioMod runs the /cache partition is used from webpages and other application to store temporary files, so far, no clean actually runs to remove temp files after a reboot (ill look into this)

So when you flash, the /cache partition is full, and a system image of 260MB cannot fit, and it all fails.. so the wipe before update solves that.

after wipe, is what i always said, but did not see cache issue early on. so it has now become before and after wipe's.. but a before wipe would be sufficient, when an update.zip runs it only touches the /cache,system,boot,recovery and after a update.zip is run the /cache files are removed.

CWM is a good alternative to our regular recovery, but of needs customization.
[Folio 100 Android Development] laudrup69:
Ok. I'll try this option

Well I tried this morning before going to work (quickly)

The response to command was that he had no permit and was wondering if it was root.

I have had no more time. Test again tonight ...

I understand that with "sudo su" is to get in as root, right?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
- if its in a terminal, you use "su" to gain root access.

- if the sdcard is already mounted by the system at /sdcard you can also get an error.

a permission eror is normally due to "root".
[Folio 100 Android Development] julio77:
I noticed something:

When the touchscreen is unresponsive, pressing sensitve keys temporarily solves the problem.
[Folio 100 Android Development] tobr:
touchscreen periodical freezes, unresponsivness

I really very suffer from unresponsivness (periodical touchscreen freezing). So that I made some tests (around 10 firmware updates in one day).

My tests with various versions of FolioMod always as follows:

wipe, full update, wipe and then testing without google account, without any installation, with stock browser, with Launcher and later with Launcher Pro.

For tests is useful to use in DevTools | Location Pointer and repeatedly drawing with fingers short movements or many seconds lasting gestures.

After that I sign to google account and test again if some applications syncing with google aren't responsible. No difference with/without google account.

1.2) Least freezing but periodical glitch (period +-1s) in response. But the small freeze was always caught up and the drawed gesture is always without interruption (all the finger movement is processed at last).

1.3b, 1.3c, 1.3d) No glitches but a lot of total periodical freezes. Touchscreen don't respond at all. It can be easily seen and reproduced in Location Pointer app. What is most interesting is that it NEVER freezes in the middle of the gesture. I can move my finger fo a minute through all the screen and it's ok. But when I release the finger and want to start another drawing it very often is not possible. For example ten attempts to start another gesture.

What is important for me is the fact that it always happens very soon after clean full installation without any installed apps (always in 1-2 hours). Hard to find some pattern in it but it seems to me that it is worse with bad wifi signal and with weak battery. But only my subjective feeling.

p.s. 4 days ago I compiled kernel from source, made an boot.img and update.zip and updated my device with it. Only kernel. Ramdisk and system files I use from FolioMod 1.4d. I had to wipe. Everything I tested is working. And for 3 days I didn't have a single freeze issue. Yesterday evening I had a slight freezeing issues. But nothing to compare with my previus experience. I was behind 2 walls and with 25% battery.

So that either it is all only good luck and coincidence, or the kernel helped a little or it is something connected with wifi and battery.

I must say that with FolioMod it would be pleasure to use the folio (thanks all devs) except that freezing. I can restart if wifi is dropping, 50% CPU load after start is gone with GPS fix but freezing really sucks :-(
[Folio 100 Android Development] mengpo:
+1

I think this unresponsive problem is somehow linked with the crazy buttons problem...

When the keys get crazy, they resquest the system permanently and thus monopolize it until the problem stops. That's why the touchscreen can no longer work while these keys are pressed ... I'm not sure of this but it makes sense...
[Folio 100 Android Development] takethree:
Previously I had the same freezing problem when I switched wifi hotspots. In fact the freezing got very very bad. I'm testing this now and so far so good when connected to a different wifi even with a bad 3G signal (using my Galaxy S as a mobile wifi hotspot). Will do more testing when I'm in the office tomorrow.
[Folio 100 Android Development] tobr:
Maybe wifi interference of many other wifi hotspots around. Someone is in house (with wifi silence around him) and somebody (as me) in block of flats, where wifi interference could be stronger. Just an (maybe stupid) idea.

How to switch off wifi. I mean completely, no interrupts from wifi driver. Unload wifi driver? If the freeezing is still there with wifi totally switched off, it would have to be something else.
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
It would be very nice if we could unload the wifi driver completely, maybe with the folio widget...
[Folio 100 Android Development] shpitz:
Would have helped if they add to Foliobutton widget enabled / disabled to menu crazy buttons Then we'd see if it affects.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Ok, so people think the issues with screen response times, can be

- (soft) buttons

- Wifi driver

- Kernel .

- softbuttons

we can change sensitivity but not disable them totally (yet!)

- Wifi

the solution Toshiba provided, is currently NOT unloading kernel driver completely when disable, but just do a "antenna" off workaround.

So to really unload the wifi drivers needs so changes.. i tried to unload and reload completely changing the wlan_tool script, but then it did not enable the second time wifi was started, so unloading kernel driver caused some issue.

- Kernel

We got Artem's kernel in the latest 3G path, this of course you can test too.

But to conclude something, it really could be all about the wifi driver,

and i did include a new/old wifi patch update some days ago, and for some it sounds to be a success with the new one, but responses were on another topic, not unresponsive display.

so we got a kernel test and wifi to test? please provide feedback on that, and we can hopefully get the issue circled in.. i got no chance to verify wifi+ many ap's around. as here is only 2 others nearby, and thats no problem here.

im using the DerArtem 3G kernel, and maybe thats why i dont see problems?

Ill try and dig into the buttons, if its possible to completely disable them.

(it all happens in the same command, just different bits if possible)

Of course you are right.

If you do not know what you are doing do not do it. But how often do you not want to learn by doing it. Step by step. And see what happens. And maybe with some help from experienced people...

This all would maybe not be necessary if Toshiba had done a good job in the first place...

Is it possible to choose which button?

Where can I see the commands?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
its parameters for kernel driver, so im looking in kernel driver, to figure it out.

you can play with the register i just wrote, maybe 8802 might give different disabled functions..

what i did not, was that maybe the standby/awake issue is in this kernel driver, because if it disable somehow power button functions i could make this.

at least i messed with many regs here 80 - 96 and somehow i made my folio goto a non-awakeble sleep mode. so maybe this is where the problem starts.

i will see if i can figure something out, but too much debugging and i simply dont have time to play that much with this register..

I tried with older wifi driver and left my folio fully charged on sleep with wifi turned off and after 3 hours battery is at 75%, so I guess it is still waking up quite often.

Btw I usually monitor the processor usage and running tasks with the dev tools show running processes and I noticed that after waking manually the folio with charger connected I see the numbers 0.0/0.0/0.0 while if I wake it while running on battery I usually get numbers above 1 like the processor has been working even while on sleep. What could be keeping processor running while on battery that is not while on ac power? ( In fact the folio does not wake on its own while on power)

One more thing, with older driver now system_server process is hogging thee cpu, so I guess tomorrow I am rolling back to new driver.

Major crash.

Yesterday I sat playing Bubble Blast for a hour or 2.

Then went into market and updated a couple of apps, when all of the sudden the screen got all scrambled up and the folio locked up. Been using the 13d patch since it was released. Not installed the latest 3G support patch.

Killed the folio, and started it up, just to discover that the folio seemed to have made a factory reset. Started up with the activation screen and a bunch of force closes (superuser, foliowidget, dwa.launcher). And all apps installed on sdcard (internal storage) is gone.

Quite annoying. Can't say what really happened. But thought it was worth a heads up for ppl to keep theire backups uptodate, since I didn't.

I'm using a cheap 16gb china imported sdcard on the folio today, which have caused problems before, so it might be something with that. I've gotten a sdcard error before, and all app2sd moved apps disappeared and I had to reinstall them. Never experienced a crash this big before though.
