Is the folio really worth it?
[Folio 100 Android Development] XoRDy:
Hi,

Maybe this question is out of topic... but I don't know any other place to post it :)

I have an Canon EOS 550d, and I use it for video filming, and I need a tablet for playing those files.

This, Toshiba Folio100 is the ONLY candidate (sdcard, usb, hdmi, etc...) But I need it to play the videos from the camera.

The videos are a .MOV (h264 1920x1088 45.5 Mbps/PCM 2channels, 48Khz 1536 Kbps) (Yes, 1920x1088, not 1920x1080

I would REALLY appreciate if somebody can download the video, insert it into an SDCARD, inside a 2 folder strcture named: DCIM/100CANON/, copy the video inside, and try to play it

I uploaded the video at Megaupload. At this link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0O29FVN3

The full info (as shown in MPC-HC) of the videos are:

I've tested the videos on the iPhone4 and it plays perfectly (copied from the SD to a PC, and from the PC to iphone. NOT converted in any way).

But I need an bigger device. I've tried on Ipad with camerakit, but it seemed to not recognize any of my 16GB SDHC cards (one class2, one class4 and one class10 from different well-known brands), and also, it lacks USB host, adobe flash plugin and hdmi-out

Thank you!

Working Perfect! Thanks for further improving the V1.1 modded Folio!
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
its quite easy to conclude whether anything works or not..

if you had other Android based phones, or know a friend who played your videos on a android based phone.. then it works...

all suppliers use the codecs and functions Google has implemented, and i have yet to see someone becides apps on market, to add other functionalities..

i got 4 other options and only this one handles the wma/wmv correctly, but formats playback is the same on this one and the other models i got..

but this is ofcourse generic info. it might work or not at all.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
if you compare to Galaxy Tab (which is closest), yes, and its a open platform :-)

look at linuxshoppen.dk where you find it atm.

#Folio Widget updated

Specially designed icons !

solaar.free.fr/apk/
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
V1.2 BETA available

here is an early beta of 1.2, as im not sure of stability, please test and report on this version.

- Updated with latest apps/binaries from toshiba update

- Included custom kernel compiled by Badstorm2010, includes cifs/ext4/tun support.

- included cifsmanager, a tool so you can mount windows filesystem from another machine.

cifs manager only works with launcherpro and toshibaHome launcher

- removed all manuals (50MB) + manual widget (needed some space)

it uses Toshiba's flashing now, so you might need to wipe, as we dont have a option to clear "dalvik-cache" right now.. but test and let me know.

this does no longer require any recovery-mod for new users.

update,

seems you dont need to wipe, but you do not get "CifsManager" update and toshiba apps update, if you dont start from scratch.. (so you know why its not there)

with Astro or a fileexplorer look in /system/toshiba/apk folder for new apps.
[Folio 100 Android Development] julio77:
Thank you very much !!!! You're the boss !
[Folio 100 Android Development] taleboblen:
Im also thinking of all the work you have put into getting it to work properly....
[Folio 100 Android Development] Sol Ido:
Linux kernel

Is this the last kernel 2.6.36 ?

It's really a good news. Like the Adam team point out this kernel update is important.

I wanna share some selected news :

- Linus has prayed the works of Nick Piggin of VFS, it fexible the lock on file by moving it to each core. Much more concurrency performances. You can find impressive video on the web. It's just the beginning the biggest patchs have to come later.

- wakeup_count function, specially used to control the sleep/wake_up of the android system. It's quite complex.

- Erik Gilling and Colin Cross from google has started the Tegra integration to the principal branch, only the core now, not the graphics and video.

Felicitations for the builds !

Hi Dexter

I'm an "old" user (I installed 1.1). That mean I have to pass through update-recovery to install v1.2?
[Folio 100 Android Development] gohanSS:
Hello

I have just received a folio and wanted to go from stock to foliomod 1.2 so I updated the folio recovery and then tried to install the mod but without success as it always returns "installation aborted". Any suggestion?

Tnx
[Folio 100 Android Development] pekka91166:
I installed the V1.2 , coming from 1.1, and did a Factory/Reset Wipe before installing 1.2.

Installation went well, although it took about 3 minutes or so longer than installing 1.1 (going back to Toshiba Boot or so?, couple of messages during flashing) and following reboot, 32 apps were being installed.

Next thing I always do is setup WiFI: this took ages. I thought it wasn't working, although WiFi saw different AP's here in the environment, but it didn't want to connect to my WEP-based AP.

I went to do some other stuff and about 15 minutes later or so it has connected to my own WiFi router and since then it's working pretty good. Connected to my gmail-account went perfect, syncing pretty fast, and next add my Exchange-account (via Improved Email) on the fly.

Also, Docs2Go is working correct now, as is the FolioWidget for controlling the illuminatred HW-keys.

Dropbox is working, Market (at least the Free -apps) is working well

I'm pretty happy so far with 1.2!

Keep up the great work folks
[Folio 100 Android Development] Jossie67:

Update to Version 1.2

Hi,

I did all the updates until this moment everything went smoothly

Because of the detailed instructionsץ

Is it possible to write the update process in detail for Toshiba's flashing

So no one will mistake.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
its there.. just didnt get to write about as i was testing, and new one came out as uploaded this edition..
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
indeed. the folio seems more unresponsive on 1.2. :\
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
the problem is in the "Market" when it opened, or running in background/updating apps.

please add this market patch and let me know if it helps.

you can manually extract the Vending.apk and copy to /system/app or rename file to update.zip and install from recovery.
[Folio 100 Android Development] shpitz:
Update to 1.2 beta

Please,

write the process steps in detail for Toshiba's flashing.
[Folio 100 Android Development] genepax:
I notice, after a boot, the tablet is laggy during 5-10 minutes.

I install an app called elixir from the market. With it, i can put a cpu load widget on my homescreen. After a reboot, the cpu load is between 50-60% during 5-10 minutes.

I use your patch and the same thing happens after the tablet's start...

Perhaps, it's an Android's "issue"
[Folio 100 Android Development] Perus:
Patch applied and stressing the Folio atm. Some graphic corruption sometimes noted. Keeping an eye on CPU load as well. Wifi works great.

So far I like it a lot :)

/Per
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
yes it is..

mediascanner runs at every startup, and looks at devices.. so if you got like many pictures,video and music this takes ages...
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:

but toshiba did not add any safety into this, so im not even sure what happens if zip file is corrupt..

Is there an easy way to fix the problem with the sd-card and internal storage?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Oneiros7:
@Folio100

Did you try to dl the stock firmware in the first post and install it with the upgrade firmware method? I think it should format all previous apps and rewrite oly the stock apps.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Barryfonte:
WIFI ok now

Hei shawnfr.

I did some resetting of the device by pulling the battery. After that, WIFI connected and stayed connected.

Also put the energy-widget on the desktop to switch WIFI on and off. Works perfect.

Thanks also for shinebar1001/Dannys input. :)

Dexter: This was great stuff. Thank you!

[Folio 100 Android Development] folio100:
yes i did it but my folio don't take any update, even factory realy i don't know what to do.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Oneiros7:
Did you try the new rom? I mean did you do the update-recovery.zip thing first and then update to dexter firmware and then tried to go back to the stock rom?

I think maybe you have to flash with the update-recovery.zip first to put your folio in root mode before you can flash it for good with dexter rom or the stock rom. But I may be wrong.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Posted a small usb mount update..

its kinda temporary as its not perfect, as toshiba made their "framework" different than Nvidia to handle usb mounts, so its not fully compatible , but does the job for some time..

see post #1 for the update.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
1. when you install the update-recovery.zip rename this file to update.zip and reboot into recovery on folio100.

2. when its good (press HOME to see that it worked) then

copy the contents of the "FolioModv01.zip" to a sdcard, you find a update.zip and txt file inside this zip.

3. again reboot into recovery and let the update.zip be installed.
[Folio 100 Android Development] shawnfr:
Umm it seems to have stuffed my system applying this again.

Launcher Pro is now broken, as is Astro.

It has mounted the internal SD, but now doesn't seem to see the external one :-(

Do I have to re-install all the apps and do a factory reset after this update?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Mark Chia:
Dexter, need clarification on your instructions:

"1. Download Folio recovery v0.1 , rename zip to update.zip and put onto sdcard.

Execute "Apply sdcard:update.zip" in recovery menu.

Then

2. Download from Mirror 1 - FolioMod v0.1 or Mirror2 - multiupload link

and inside zip is a textfile and update.zip which goes to root of your sdcard."

That instruction seems to put 1. update.zip into sdcard, then 2. put another update.zip into the same sdcard to overwrite the first.

Any Folio owners successfully did these steps?

Thanks
[Folio 100 Android Development] folio100:
Normaly I do it several time, but I will do it again, then First I made an update withe update-recovery.zip (renamed update.zip before) after I have to let the folio reboot and launch the android system or directly when I reboot i go directly to recovery mode and do the update with the "FolioModv01.zip" (collect the update.zip inside the zip), i will remove the battery system first to check if the wifi reset. I will keep you in touch later because i am in office now.
[Folio 100 Android Development] friedje:
Just a thought :

have you tried somewhere else ?

like at the office, or at a friends place ?

it might just not like your router...
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Well, not exactly :-( , it does state "Apply update.zip" after you put the first on on the sdcard.. so its becomes logical somehow, that you reboot after this as folio100 does not really like that you extract the sdcard and try another update.zip right after the first one..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
its related to the fact, that some apps install on "external" sdcard..

so when those are swapped, they suddenly do no longer appear on external sd, so yes, those apps in question needs to be re-installed.

you dont see any external sd card anymore, only by using the "File manager" from Toshiba, you will see its actually still there as "sdcard", but menu will only show your internal storage(the 16GB partition minus space used for system)..
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
I did a factory reset after I installed the rom and then it worked for me.
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
Ok, managed to install the mod, seems to be ok, although i find the live wallpaper (the water one) to be a little slow, dlna is not working, and i'm really looking forward to a proper usb fix... I'll see if the stand by bug is gone or not
[Folio 100 Android Development] folio100:
I bought it a few days ago, but folio office time will come =D
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
fyi,

the "standby" bug only occur if you hit "power" too many times when its actually in deep standby, thats a bug, but can be avoided with patience :-)

just one press of the power button helps, more will kill/freeze the tablet.

disabling of the "ethernet" interface also seems to cause instability, not 100% sure, but it suddenly seems slower when i do so here.. ill keep debugging..
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
Ok, i found out that the tablet still switches on on its own although i don't touch it... Back to the stock rom, for now. Sorry, but for some reason this mod is causing me more problems than i thought
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
DLNA is not 100% in place, it was actually work in progress, and i forgot i included it in apps dir :-( but it will be fixed..

I just noted now you mean USB mass storage sharing to pc, which i simply didnt notice as a problem..i have found the problem to be in the root image, so another update is needed for this small change.

(default.prop says /sdcard and not /mnt/sdcard causing usb mass storage to fail)

the initial usb fix i made, was for USB slot so you could insert a usb stick into the folio.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
yes, i think you got a signature problem... and yes, i tried to fix paid apps issue, so the included market app cannot be upgraded without fac reset..
[Folio 100 Android Development] underbrallan:

v1.2 vs 1.1

reading all last post is not clear if v1.2 is better than 1.1 or not..

what are, actually, the improvements that 1.2 will give to our folio?
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
yep, a factory reset fixed everything =)

dexter: you should make a patch for the new folio widget too, since not everyone knows how to use a root explorer and remove the /system/app/foliocontroller.apk =)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
personally the toshiba update didnt give much, but the custom kernel added support for shares so you can get files over the network or pc..

but maybe it actually fixes some issues, im not aware of..
[Folio 100 Android Development] denver-tempor:
Yes, FolioMod v1.2 is better than v1.1, indeed.

For me, till now, Wifi is not perfect: is necessary turn off, turn on and wait...

Very good job DEXTER, and many thanks, making this tablet much more usable.
[Folio 100 Android Development] shpitz:
I moved to 1.2 without factory reset everything works great including WIFI.
[Folio 100 Android Development] genepax:

But with the v1.2, I always get the Standby/Awake freeze... And I need to reboot.

Can you confirm ?

[Folio 100 Android Development] shpitz:
After an hour From the Patch the CPU dropped below 10%.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Try to add the "patch" for 1.2, it will install better Market app (i think so) and it uses "dalvik-cache" cleaner which sounds like your problem...
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
one good part is, its proper signed, so if Market gets an update officially of this app, it will download it automatically. (this app is normally not shown to be downloaded, hidden downloads i call it)

why does the android system process hog 50% of the cpu constantly? this happens every time i exit an app, and i have to reboot to get the cpu down to 5-8% again.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
use Dev. tools -> Development Settings -> show running processes.

see if it shows up something.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
system_server is the one doing the hogging.

and then, after about 10 minutes it went down to 8% again :S

i'll try to start an app again and see what happens.

my folio is btw #29 in the www.androidbenchmark.com list ;D
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:

[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
3.89 / 1.47 / 0.48 <- ca. those values
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
this is right after new install? so you got email sync'ing, calendar, contacts and apps download running in background.. all controlled by systemserver..

mediaserver is the worst one on our folio as it seems to rescan at every bootup (similar to GalaxyS) and takes alot of cpu, if you got alot of media on storage.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
it's not a new install. i've been running this for quite some hours now, and the only thing syncing would be gmail. i don't have any media at all on the device (except for 5 icons) so i think it's weird that it should be pushing 50% or so for such a long time.

the cpu is fine after a reboot. it jumps to 100% for a few seconds and then down to 8%.and stays there until i start an application. when i go back out, it runs at 50% for almost 20 minutes. (and yes. i ended the application in the task manager just to be sure)

this has happened several times now.
