Hi Dexter,

First I want to say I love the device

Some small problems do not put me in pressure. I bought the device because of the possibility in the hardware and because of the possibility ANDROID system operating.

I enjoy every day since i put the version 1.0B.

I connect by WIFI at home, at work with phone DESIRE.

There are several small problems, from time to time the device freezes for a second.

OFFICE applications do not work, EMAIL software crashes all the time i install k-9 and it work fine,Could be because I get emails in Hebrew.

In my opinion, should not remove the link option via phone (ad-hoc support)

Or that I misunderstood.

When can we expect for a new ROM with all the latest patches.

Thanks in advance.

So this folio never support 3g modem?

And why android market only show 10 item?

I using patch 1.0b
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
Rotate landscape, then it will show more/all apps

for 3g modems, as usb sticks, there is no driver for that on android. so either u will have to write your own driver or wait until someone does. the driver is not made as android until now is made for phones, and usually we dont stick 3g usb modems in phones! so no driver was ever made as it was not necessary.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
For the people owning a htc desire. We actually dont need adhoc to connect to it as there is the hotspot app on the desire. Using 3g connection it will turn the device into an access point. So any wifi capable device can connect to it. U dont need adhoc. Correct me if i am wrong here.
[Folio 100 Android Development] WebOSArni:
thats right

i do this with my palm pre
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
for people looking for adhoc support, and in order to stop annoying dexter with the wifi problems, please download an app called barnacle wifi tether from the google market place. it is free and will allow u to share your 3g connection via wifi on your rooted phone. there are also many other tethering apps on the market. download them and use them, at least this will solve the problem that different people want different things and that the folio mod cannot be made to satisfy all and everyone.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
+1 its getting a little harder every day to find posts related to the mod. there is a lot of unrelated posts as well. but i do understand as there is no other place to get help for the folio on xda. hopefully the mods will consider giving it its own subforum.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
serial number is not supposed to be hardcoded in the hardware? have u installed the original recovery update and then the original firmware update? ( that is if u want to revert back to original firmware)
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
I can confirm that using barnacle works. At least, it works with my milestone (stock 2.1).

By the way, by keeping the wifi always on the tablet does not have any standby bugs anymore. hdmi works perfectly (i'd like to know if the tv kit works as well, since i'm about to buy it), so no more issues for me. No serious ones at least.

Dear Orange. How are you?

Do you have the original (brand new Toshiba ROM), I need to rollback and the version that is here does not work well for me. If you have could you be so kind to post?

[Folio 100 Android Development] MihaelSA:
Please tell me if this firmware suitable for AC100? It seems they have the same identical hardware.

I have simply tired of waiting for an update for it.
[Folio 100 Android Development] julio77:
Hi,

My name is not Orange.....

Original Toshiba firmware for rollback can be found on first post.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
2 reasons can cause market to show less..

1. you have not used "marketenabler" to indicate a better region like T-Mobile US, which offer many,many apps for that area.

2. you changed resolution to something below 160, which also does something strange to market, then suddenly only no chance of scrolling down anymore.

160 density is what it works with, lower as it will mess up Market (unless you search directly for the app you want)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
my installer is NOT compatible, as partitions on the laptop edition is different.

so you will mess it up somehow if you try..

i also think recovery/kernel is different on your hardware, although they look similar.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
I searched the web a little last night for oc'd and other functionality if possible for our tegra2, and i found several new articles saying that we got a very good performing chipset when both cpu's get utilized (we use only 1 cpu right now)

but since new mobiles seems to be delivered with android2.3 and tegra2 , and other mobile models as well, i think we get lots of updates in 2011 for this platform so its only a start. i guess it will evolve over the next 6-12months but for now its too early, when only a few tablets has this chipset.

we need mobile phones using it too, then the support will grow for sure..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
in "Spare parts" app, goto bottom when opened, and disable "compatibility mode" and reboot, and try the "marketenabler" and you will see its fullscreen now as example of the function.
[Folio 100 Android Development] shpitz:
Yes, we are at the First steps of tegra2 and Toshiba Folio.

Thenx
[Folio 100 Android Development] killerbie:
Idd, at the moment we only use 1 core, so it is important to tweak and fix all the bugs in android 2.2

When android 2.3 is released we can optimalise that for both the cores and use the ready fixes and tweaks.
[Folio 100 Android Development] ommx:
I can confirm you that with Rom 1.0b it work 100% with TV-kit and this ROM is base on Toshiba stock and i love it as i like using TV-kit as a docking ;)
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
the core for android 2.3 will most definitely not be similar to android 2.2, so theres is a whole "new" OS. so optimising 2.2 to be able to count on it later , well i wouldnt count on that.

and besides, we do not yet know if there will be need of fixes in 2.3. tweaks definitely, but it will not be the same as 2.2.
[Folio 100 Android Development] killerbie:
so true :)

Recommendations

Hi,

I installed version 1.0b

Is it recommended to install Patches :

Download here v1.0-1.0b freez/standby->awake fix.

Download here restore original wpa_supplicant(remove ad-hoc support.but restore signal strength display)
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
not the first patch i believe, but if u want to remove adhoc support u can install the second one.
[Folio 100 Android Development] mhgonzalez:
I have installed both and wifi works better, but if you need adhoc, do not install or install other application to do that.

Marcelo
[Folio 100 Android Development] shpitz:
recommended Patches?

I connect by WIFI at home, at work with HTC DESIRE Android phone.

Is it recommended to install the wpa_supplicant Patch?
[Folio 100 Android Development] tshoulihane:
Understood - Didn't realise there would be so much interest in it. My immediate problem is uplink capability, my ADSL is a little on the unstable side.

yes, I would like also !
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
I worked on this part tonight, and i managed to incorporate the settings functionality from Nvidia framework into our toshiba framework, so its possible to configure and setup..

Question is now, how do i verify that it actually works?

because one thing is, you can configure, and i have the apps installed, but using it is my question now..

anyways its kinda included, so any help on testing/confirming functionality is appreciated.
[Folio 100 Android Development] makakiel:
Think u can brows a widows d=share folder with astro or a other file explorer...
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
about paid apps download,

i think this relates to the fact, toshiba did not add any phone functionality in the framework, but Nvidia framework do. so im not sure it will be easy to solve, if Market verify that we got phone functionality when we have no support for it.
[Folio 100 Android Development] julio77:
Do you talk about CIFS module ?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Sol Ido:
Finally I've decided to came back to the 0.2

All that is based on the Toshiba framework freeze recurently, frustration

is so intense !

My only concern about 0.2 is that there is no root so i can't use Titanium

else the performance and responsivity is to fast ! even the boot time is

impressive.

Dexter why did you switch from a nvidia base to a toshiba one for your release ?

Like every one there i'm considering donation to support your intensive R&D.

Thnx
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
- In the beginning many ppl do not look at hardware support, so to begin with it works out quite fine with Nvidia framework.

- But when you find out Bluetooth is not working, you can no longer use a mouse or keyboard usb/BT ..

- there is no option to unmount sdcard/usbstick, so data can be lost when unplugged.

- the hdmi switch option is not available to only have display on hdmi.

native toshiba functionality.

- wifi is not 100% supported in nvidia framework.

it might be that i will make 2 adaptions, since no one else is picking up on it, so we get an official mod, and the continued nvidia based framework solution with less hardware support (in a proper way)

PS: of course 0.2 is rooted, like all editions, i included the "Superuser" apk + su option here.. so it is for sure..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Sol Ido:
Thank for this clarification on your methodology

Clearly it's a challenge to setup a fully fonctional alternative rom and even

more to satisfy all the xda users :)

I do understand that you can start with a fast base with nvidia but which

is multimedia feature less or at the opposite start with toshiba

which is ( in some kind of way ) more media friendly but with a killing absurd

frustrating angry bird unplayable random frozen screen.

For my part i really need a responding UI so i will stick with 0.2 until you can

detect the cause of the lag.

I'm just a apps developper, i'm quite sorry about that else i would loved provide

you some help. I hope that the works on others tegra tabletcan lead to a tegra dev team and adaptable roms !

My 0.2 is garanted not rooted, i came back from a 1.0. I must have skipped the

factory and data wipe in the menu before launching update.zip

I'll provide you some redbulls ! thx
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
The only thing is that there is a lot of crash of superuser app in 0.2a. Every time an app is uninstalled it crashes n forcecloses.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Sol Ido:
I think it's a question on how you see this tablet. If i bough a phone i want a complete fonctional stack but with this tablet ... all is a mess and we know it. If i want something more polish i get a SPad, i will not install or uninstall often, even playing movie is not at my program simply because this tablet is too young

So i can accept exceptionnal crash or reboot as long as i can have a relative responsiveness and stability. Like i said for me it's not ready for the user friendly media

Does someones have heard about some devs about the Folio team for a new

release ? maybe with the 3G version ( if still planned after the 999$ fiasco )
[Folio 100 Android Development] ma1999:
Dont get this.

I have 1.0b on my machine and Angry Bird works great. I dont get any hangs or reboots (got them on earlier roms) and the machine feels fast and responsive. Not perfekt but getting close.

Could your problems have to do with no factory wipe and/or some app that does bad things ?
[Folio 100 Android Development] lopiumy:
But my angry bird is close when I finish playing for stage 1 only, after that when I try to open angry bird it lag and come out with sluggish graphic, btw I'm using 0.1b with freeze and wifi patch now. Angry bird running well on 0.2 .
[Folio 100 Android Development] ommx:
i'm running on 1.0b , no problem with Angry Bird found here, i have play all first level with no problem at all, also try other games such as City Jump, Jewels, Air control, and Alchemy.

[Folio 100 Android Development] Folio47:
I am very happy now with 1.0b, after i flashed it again... before that i had many freezes... now it runs smooth without any freezes... the freeze-patch works great...

so i can say, if you have many problems with 1.0 flash it again, this can help...

dexter, thank you once more again....
[Folio 100 Android Development] makakiel:
Hi dexter how to get the calendar back on the V1.0b ?
[Folio 100 Android Development] shpitz:
recommended Patches?

Hi,

I ask again.

I installed version 1.0b

I connect by WIFI Modem at home, at work with hot-spot HTC DESIRE Android phone.

Is it recommended to install the wpa_supplicant Patch?
[Folio 100 Android Development] makakiel:
I think you shoudn't because is restore the original wpa_supplicant.

So if with the original wpa_supplicant the hadoc mode working work do it

but if like me and may iPhone the hadoc not working stay with the wpa_supplicant includ in the v1.0b
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
download the update10b.zip again, i actually forgot if it is the updated file i uploaded, but i changed the update10b.zip so its setting ownership correctly on the files, which is your problem.. try and apply update10b.zip and let me know if it helps you.

i can confirm later today if its the update file on the server.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Homer314:
Hi guys. I think this is a really attractive device but i'm reading on internet about a low resolution/quality display.

It's true ? What do you think about this display ?

Thank's
[Folio 100 Android Development] shpitz:
Hi Dexter,

Can we expect a new version?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Sol Ido:
I've setup a complete cleanup and reinstallation of the 1b, the lag is still here and i'm quite sure it came from the Toshiba framework.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i am trying to solve the paid apps issue, so unless i cannot fix this so easily, the update will first arrive when i have this in place.

i think i also found a new bug in OpenGL es, which i did not see in 0.2, so ill try to see it is happening on 0.2 as well.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
it was mentioned that the debuggerd daemons suddenly seems to go into loopmode.. if you got apps developer skills maybe you can more easily find the reason for this, so we can get it fixed.

personally i have not seen debuggerd crashing unless i messed something up, which caused it, so unless provoked, i have not seen it.

maybe you can see something else causing the lag..
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
The resolution is quite okay, and pretty standard for a 10" tablet. but it has pretty bad viewing angles.

on another note: i installed an app called Startup Manager, and disabled some services, like "documents to go" and "email" (since i use the gmail app), maps and google voice. makes the bootup quite a bit smoother, and less laggy.

i'm still missing correctly scaled background images though.
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
I'll try using starup manager, i always use it on my milestone, hadn't thought about using it for the folio...

By the way, i use the "water" live wallpaper and it's scaled correctly.

An open comment for all members

Dear member:

It is an open comment about all this discussions.

I have the luck of have in my hand three different tablet with Android, Toshiba Folio, Archos 101 and a Viewsonic (better hard for me), reason why a friend has an store in France and I have the chance of test all of then, all with Froyo.

All of them have the same problem, freeze on standby (random), not Android Market, and another common problem with some applications.

I decided to buy Toshiba only reason why it was in stock for sale at the moment I was in France (I live in Argentina).

I believe that all problems are not hardware related if not software related, Froyo is not designed for tablets, same Google said that, and those problems are in another tablets with not phone capacity.

If you see the multimedia application of Toshiba (the original provided for Toshiba Folio) the image quality is wonderful, but you see the image quality of “Gallery 3D”, which is a application for phones, is bad.

I really believe that when more applications designed for tables are in place, and if we can fit Android 2.3 in our tablet, a lot of problems will be solve.

For those people that need to buy a tablet those are my recommendations:

1 – Think if you need a tablet to works as a tablet o to works as a computer, I mean a tablet is for simple things, if you need complex think buy a notebook.

2 – If you need a tablet to works with all characteristics of a 3G or 4G phone, wait or buy an iPad or Sansung (more expensive).

3 – If you need open connectivity buy an Android Tablet.

4 – If open connectivity is not your problem, buy an iPad, As an example Toshiba Folio 16G cost the same than iPad 16G.

Finally, I believe that it is necessary to open an Android Tablet Forum, reason why we are asking Dexter a lot of things that are more related to a general discussion than a problem related with the ROM versions that Dexter produce.

Thanks Dexter for you big work.

Hi guys, thx for your effort, its impressive !

Tried last mod and it looks running well for me.

Actually only one pain persists – my Android Market get always stuck while “starting download” even for free application. Tried 10x with several apps… Is this the problem mentioned before - this fails for free app - or something else ? Any help appreciated.
[Folio 100 Android Development] mhgonzalez:
In my case, Android Market work well and download perfect the free apps.

Try with different wifi place, some time ocurred me with some wifi connection with proxys.

[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
Just wait. It starts downloading after a while.
[Folio 100 Android Development] shinebar1001:
Same here, the problem affects not all but some Apps (e.g. 2 Player). In the evening I'll post a adb log for this.
[Folio 100 Android Development] mhgonzalez:
Where did you find Startup Manager?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
True!!

Lets hope to see more threads in this area pushing the limit of how many tablet related threads should be in the "software..hacking general" forum...

some problems may relate to the Nvidia framework mod, but the toshiba edition is very close to original so many question should be to Toshiba and not me :-)

sadly they dont really care, see their toshiba forum being cleaned of all my posts related to modding their device :-(
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
this is actually a know Android issue , general for all mobile android phones.. and reasons if you google it, is that the different servers responsible for "serving" you act differently, so sometime you simply loose your download and it never starts.. others have different stories, i guess mainly its all theories, but it downloads fine for free apps, that i can confirm..

(and please dont mention paid apps, i am fully aware of the problem)

[Folio 100 Android Development] ma1999:
I did the update (had 1.0a installed) and at first no calendar support.

What I did was go to /system/app (using Astro) and tried to install:

They both gave an errormessage

I then reinstalled the fix (1.0b) and did the same thing (Astro).

After a reboot Calendar works :)

[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
yeah. all the live wallpapers scale right. but not when you use a jpg/png/etc.

in the app market. use the trial version.
[Folio 100 Android Development] ma1999:
From what I get Folio stock stinks BUT so does Archos 101, Viewsonic etc.

All these machines have big problems with freezes and app support.

The Folio got most of the bad publicity since it was released first...

I have yet to see a 101 or a Viewsonic so I dont know if they have a better screen (viewing-angle) but I'm affraid most users will feel screwed either

with a Folio, a Archos 101, Viewsonic or any other.

With Dexter's fixes and using white/light background I'm willing to keep my Folio. Its definitly not the best machine I have bought but its now ok.

I say like Marcelo, we need specific section for Folio and I would like to have section where we discuss apps that uses the full screen.

/\/\artin

======================

Sorry - had to edit this :)

Started to surf around, the Folio is bad, the Archos, Viewsonic and the others must be much better (I have had people tell me this).

So how good are they ? Here are some comments.

Viewsonic (is it ViewSonic 100 ?)

"I have the viewsonic, let me tell you if you think archos rushed theirs out wait til you get this one. ...

- my wifi works 20% of the time

- you need to reboot whenever you put int an sd card for it to see it

- random factory resets on it’s own.

- touchscreen keeps going dead in spots.

- screen angles are terrible(only real hardware complaint)

Viewsonic says they don’t know what’s defective hardware and what will be fixed with FW, and FW will come “sometime in the next month”...

Archos 101

"...After screen calibration, the screen works... fine. Bugs out sometimes, but as a N1 user, I'm used to it. Now comes the bad part: the viewing angle of this screen is absolutely terrible. You will need to get used to holding it in a specific position, and don't hope that your friends next to you will be able to see anything on it."

"I have spent all afternoon having nothing but problems with my just received Archos 101. Most of the issues are due to the touch screen but also the firmware. I had to do a low level system restore to get it out of a perpetual rebooting... I called the supplier who I purchased it from and they said 25% of those shipped out are being returned."

So,

1) If you need a machine to work right out of the box, wait, do NOT get one this year (ok, maybe a Samsung Tab or a Ipad).

2) The screen on the Folio is terrible, yes, surprise, the Archos and the Viewsonic has the same (or worse) screen !

3) So if you want to be "one of the first" and dont mind modding and flashing, the Folio is as good as any in this pricerange.
