Trying something crapy (having valid update.zip from the foliomod 1.2 in the rep /sdcard)

keep you informed
[Folio 100 Android Development] teknoraver:
well you can try any value in the 00-ff range

i'm fine with 0x10101010 but "your mileage may vary"™
[Folio 100 Android Development] duncaneidaho:
Ok i've manage to do it :

need to have a webserver were you can put the update.zip from the foliomod1.2

Use the market, pick a terminal emulator

now launch it

Type in :

su
mount -o remount rw /
cd /sdcard/
wget http://IPofYourServer/update.zip

Restart your tablet in recovery mode to apply the update.zip

Enjoy (or so i think, my tab is just rebooting after the update at the moment).

This problem was caused because official kernel and Dexter's kernel do not have the same way of calling the SDCard i guess, thus mount operation were not possible.

Edit : corrected a typo : remount instead of remout in the commands

Edit 2 : just tried to insert SD while doing the accept licence and finalize install process and i've seen it in the notification, thus it works :)

Edit 3 : don't forget to wipe after installing, just for sure.

By the way, i forgot to say that automatic recovery mode (ie. with vol+ and vol- stuff) is trying to mount the SDCard prior to apply the patch and thus fail, but just tell him to apply the sdcard/update.zip again and he will do it just fine :)

I'm sorry, didn't mean to place any blame on you, I was just pointing out that mod devving takes a lot of time and testing before reaching a final state. That statement didnt really have anything to do with the obvious hardware problem. My english grammar (& spelling) is far from perfect ;)

Did NOT mean to offend you, I love what you've done so far :-)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
really not... but it clearly shows how bad it could have went if we got another one... (But Advent Vega should i at least look at, if i get the time)

but reading that thread give us some indications that the "power-on" issue originated with nvidia, as that tablet also has power-on problems after standby. Seems their deepstandby, is toooo deeep :-) (SleepOfDeath)

So SOD comes down to Nvidia being the cause either hardware wise, as chipset fails or software wise as deepsleep function is faulty.

What's the FolioController doing (supose to be doing) I get nada when i push it.. Stupid question maybe.. :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
Question: i'm afraid to reinstall the new market patch, can i only install the updated foliocontroller using the apk included in the zip in the first page?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
you can manually remove foliocontroller with adb shell or a fileexplorer if filesystem is r/w. and then install the update..

Sorry, will be fixed in next update, so its easy updateable like all other apps which are like this..

Its changing your "4 buttons light" behaviour, if you dont see the change, you denied superuser access to the app, and it wont happen.

Hello,

I have the Folio 100 with updated toshiba firmware (2.2.5.0053).

With the previous version I used Z4Root but it no longer works.

Is there any solution ?

A new version of Z4Root or an UPDATE.ZIP with Superuser app ?

Please help !
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
NO SOLUTION, but a modded version..

and please post such question in the the other thread next time, its obvious not related to my mod edition.
[Folio 100 Android Development] mhgonzalez:
Yes. Remember I did that and I saved all my problems and all work perfect.
[Folio 100 Android Development] M-XXXX:
I'm looking if I would buy this device, and I have few questions.

First reviews shown ALOT of problems and downbacks. Whats current situations? Lets say I buy it, install this ROM, and any other fixes if they are any. What are after all that biggest problems of this device? Should I buy it, or wait for other device? I may ad, moding and using fixes and different ROM-s isn't problem for me.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
depending on your country origin, Folio100 is currently the best offer right now, as we all know, waiting always offers new choices and new devices and functionalities..

- Folio100 seems to offer all the functionality , but do have some issues with screen sensitivity (we are still testing with different parameters individually),

- screen type(LCD is really not best for landscape mode, but its works fine as long as your whole family is not sitting becides you watching the screen)

- What toshiba didnt deliver i have managed to add so far, and other tegra2 platform deviced adapted quickly :-)

- Comparing to Samsung Tab, it might win on its SuperLCD , but its really not giving you much more, and still have other issues..

- Although XDA forum seems reluctant to add seperate forum for our device here, its probably ranging quite well now, comparing to other tegra2 devices in europe.

- I would say for the price we see, its an ok investment if you really want the tablet type now..

- the folio100 is on top, almost 100% opensource, as we got full acess to kernel, and almost full modding available..

- Bootloader on folio is stupid though, and Toshiba included a termination combo which bricks your device, and ill leave out HOW to make it happen. But lets hope we can rewrite it and use one like seen on AC100 (keyboard/netbook edition)

lastly,

if i did NOT change the build.prop, probably alot less "not working" apps would show in this thread too :-) its really looking quite well now, with new G.earth + maps + market app..

And soon a few more 100% 3G mobile based tegra2 devices, im sure i can adapt to our model with enhanced drivers or functionality..(Motorola already provide their kernels as opensource, and i think LG does too)

if this mini-review does not convince you, what would? :-)

PS: I think again, topic should have been in the "general" thread and not my MOD thread..
[Folio 100 Android Development] M-XXXX:
Thank you, this is just the answer I was looking for! If/when I get the device I will sure donate you something if all you say works half that good as you say it:D

Just one more question: how much space is avalible for application install? (Galaxy S has 1.8GB partition for app), this is the info I'm looking for.

Best regards M-XXXX.

PS: you've mentioned bootloader and bricking. Is device than brickable, or you can reflash if something goes wrong? (like Galaxy S, its practicly unbrickable).
[Folio 100 Android Development] jaypeg123:
sd card

Is there a way to install the programs onto the external sdcard?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
internal memory is about 12.5GB free, but it still offers the option to move apps onto your external SDcard.

well, we havent found the right solution to recover from the bootloader state, so for now its really bricked, but dont let it scare you... just stay away from any key combo's that mention bootloader state.. just one is needed and thats mentioned at bootup..
[Folio 100 Android Development] M-XXXX:
Probably I missunderstood you: you can normaly go bootloader (up+ power, or whatever is the combinations on folio), and then turn device off and on again? Or I should never go to bootloader??
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
no. bootloader is 5 times power, and volume up. do NOT use this combination.

the power (one time) + volume up is safe, and will not brick your device.

____

i finally got my folio back up and reading the internal SD :) seems i didnt have to wget the image after all. just mounting the volume and rebooting solved the problem, and i was able to update from the external SD to fmod1.2 again.

tried the "original" build.prop. seems like the new maps and pocket legends is working, having a bit more problems with gEarth though. it just loads and loads at the start screen forever.

legends F**ing rocks on the 10" screen though ;D
[Folio 100 Android Development] duncaneidaho:
Agreed, next step is to get Gameloft games working, or maybe they are already with the new build.prop ?

Need to try this.

By the way, i've compiled 3 patches for Foliomod 1.2 in one, if some of you are interrested, see attached file.

It change the build.prop file, it also apply the ad-hoc patch and the new market patch (the FolioController.apk is also included but may not be up to date).

All thanks is due to Dexter, my only task here was to put all files together in one patch :)

Ok so NOVA and Dungeon Hunter (the 2 gameloft games i own for my phone are not working, getting a force close window as soon as i try to start them).

[Folio 100 Android Development] Nemo0815:
Actually, I read that 5x power + Vol+ yesterday because i could not manage to enter recovery otherwise so i entered the bootloader and wiped data+cache (wanted to return my device).

Well it's wiped and running perfectly again, so I guess i was just lucky? ;)

Btw. I ordered another Folio, the one I got was obviously already in use and had a dust particly between LCD and touch panel :) I like the Folio so far (even without your mod or the toshi update)!

Btw2: I tried to insert an SD Card out of my Cam in the Folio (stock ROM) said it's corrupted. I then formatted the card again in Windows and then it works. But seems the card formatted with the CAM is not readable by the Folio.

Is that something that can be fixed with the mod?
[Folio 100 Android Development] genepax:
I've got the same problem with the Sd card from my Panasonic TZ7 cam. When i format the card with Windows, the Folio recognizes it. I insert it in my cam, take a photo and re-insert it in the tablet : it says that the Sd card is corrupted. However, there's no problem with my other cam, a Nikon D50.

Google maps flip/rotation function disabled

another "problem" found in google maps...

FLIP/ROTATE disabled on our folio

some less wise people says google maps only support flip/rotation on real multi-touch devices , which i just confirmed is a rumour and nothing else.

i replaced the build.prop again, with my Samsung GalaxyS build.prop, and suddenly googlemaps can rotate screen and flip :-)

looking at the google code, they do checks on vendors and fingerprints to verify which are allowed certain features, exactly like seen with the previous issues we found.

Im gonna check some games and skype to see how those accept a SGS build.prop on our device..

becides this it needs tweaking, as googlemaps seems to close itself due to lack of memory which we certainly got alot of compared to a SGS mobile.

which mod most stable for now?

First off many many thanks to Dexter and co!!!!!

hi there peeps this is my first post ive been reading this thread for like couple of weeks now and i got my folio 3 days ago!

please dont burn me if this has been asked before but which mod would you say is the best for touch screen responsiveness?

ive tried 0.2 and 1.2 versions and both suck for touch screen on my folio!

stock and 0.2 were useless (had to press a button like 15 times before it did anything and scrolling just didnt work at all!

1.2 was awesome of the get go! all was like how id expect a €399 tablet should be until after i had used it for a hour or so and installed some apps it returned to uselessness (but still better than 0.2- ) even after factory resets it remained the same.

i have faith in you guys getting this working but my money back time limit runs out soon and the archos 101 was calling my name b4 i bought folio (i got the folio for the hardware) as i primaraly want a tab for games, internet and to play HD mvk's via hdmi to my tv in the bedroom (which right now it does not like doing with any mkv supposed app)

i just dont know what to do!!!!! lol i

i heard in here somewhere that someone had great responce in 1.1 but then 1.2 upgrade slowed it down for them with freezes as well so im going to try 1.1 if you guys think thats wise!

please advise me!! lol cheers (sorry for the novel)

games ive tested

if this is any help guys ive tested some gameloft games that run fine on my galaxy s

filiomod 1.2

Hawx = crash on start

asphalt 5 = runs fine but screen is 7" making buttons in the wrong places, accelerometer works fine but the game is in landscape and the accelerometer is in portrait mode if the sensor was turned on its side it would work!

NOVA = 7" again but with blank white screen

sims 3 = 7" screen prob again but running fine

one other thing i get that is strange is that the wifi tells me my connection is out of range when im sitting in front of it lol
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
to fix all this, we would probably need a hardware hack, as the chip somehow is rotated 90degree so our tablet has orientation 0degree when its landscape, where mobiles hare 0degree when its portrait..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
0.2 is told to have less lag problems (they say) and 1.2 got some freez issue sometimes.. to have screen respond better with buttons as well use the new apps supplied in this thread to manage button sensitivity as well.

it does not have mkv support hardware wise.. we are still waiting for someone to pick up on that one, and i personally hope LG supply it, as Motorola didnt on other android phones, i got less hope for them to do it..

so only software mkv decoding works, and is not perfect atm..

[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
before the wifi connects, it scans several times and also the hardware goes live and disconnected again several times. this takes time. but the sleep/wake/disconnect and scan issue is why it takes so long. my folio on the first scan never detects my netgear router. neither does it find my other dlink n tp-link routers. and they are all within 5m from the folio. but it always finds my neighbors router on the first scan. which is like probably 15-20m from my folio.
