[Folio 100 Android Development] duncaneidaho:
Script was one from Dexter, so initial thanks shall go to him :)

Moreover, i've just picked your zip (0.3 and 0.3.1) and i'm seeing that System and META-INF are subfolder in your zip and not at root (i did not test yet, so i don't know if it changes something or not).

Regards :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] costeph:
Thanks, cool stuff! The archives (3 and 3.1) needs to be repack as they contain a subfolder foliowidget instead of direct access to meta-inf etc... so we can t update directly by renaming the archive to update.zip.

[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
it would be nice if you developers could register, and update the links on the wiki when you make new versions =)

it's kinda hard keeping track of things in the speed you guys are progressing :)

[Folio 100 Android Development] Sol Ido:
Maybe i can start a new thread for widget folio, not sure if it's required but it will clean some posts here. Also We need to vote to get our Thread in front.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
i don't know. the widget is like a part of foliomod, atleast for me =)

what we really need is a dedicated forum for this mod, but i guess unless we set up something ourselves, that won't happen. it would be so much easier to keep stuff organized, and maybe have a "private" part of the forum for developers/testers so the threads don't get overrun by newcomers who are too lazy to search/read the faq/other stuff.. you catch my drift.

no offense to those posters, it's just hard keeping track when the same question comes up about 15 times =)
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:

[Folio 100 Android Development] Sol Ido:
Yes, there's two part, the first is linked to folio using the shell and i send command that Folio modders are posting here the others one is a convenient one (soon) filled with clock, wifi, background img tools. I can made a new Thread and point to this one and Dexter can do the same.

This way we can avoid some polution.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i made a new thread an hour ago or so(see post #1 for link).. for kernel and tweak for our folio, as it somehow could easily be others releasing them, and not part of my FolioMod here.. but another folio thread would maybe be great for the apps, but could i think then it falls into the other catagory for "Android and development" mainly apps section, and still not a "folio section".
[Folio 100 Android Development] killerbie:
Yep, we really need a section. I wanted to create a section where people can post wich app's and games work perfect but this is useless without a section.

PS: is it me or are most of the app's full screen since the release of the new market?!
[Folio 100 Android Development] TaLL84:
does anyone know a moderator or an admin?

[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
nah, not really :-)

i fixed this in the "SettingsProvider.apk" actually, so it sets the default "compatibility mode" to off , by default..

its still all the same, but i just made it default now..
[Folio 100 Android Development] weeds2000:
Some news on the rotation/accelerometer issue.

Actually this is getting more complicated as I thought. I tried to rerotate the sensor values and this indeed worked for Apps that were broken. However this solution breaks everything else, it even rotates the screen to 90 degree, so if you open your Browser in landscape mode, it will switch to portrait.

I think this is kinda annoying and even a homescreen widget, were you can switch the hack on or off, is not a really good solution for that (at least in my opinion).

If you guys think that is OK, I might as well try to finish up the current solution.

Another thing I might try, is to check which application registers the Sensor listener, and having a small application listening all apps intalled on the device and you can check the apps that need the hack, however I do not know if it is possible for the SensorManagher to identify the calling application.

I tried finding any setting for the so called "natural" orientation but this is either buried somewhere deep within the native code, or the sensor itself is simply rotated 90° compared to a default phone.

Btw, I'm testing with

- Raging Thunder 2 Lite (accelerometer is working correct)

- Wave Blazer Lite (accelerometer not working correct)

I don't know if splitting this thread into more could be really applicable, but I'm quite sure that wiki, if constantly upgraded, is the right way to keep everything organized and updated.

ps

put the "last modified" date in the single elements in the wiki could help to identify the latest versions
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
yeah, i would guess a small program that checks for what apps/processes start up, and applies settings when it finds one it recognizes would be great.

and when it registeres the app closing it goes back to default.

the program would need to have some sort of database where the user can apply settings for each game/app :)

really good work so far, i'm looking forward to see a beta (=
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
according to Nvidia its by hardware the chip is rotated 90degree, so post #2 for example made by nvidia..

but i know its in the "framework.jar" android/hardware section but how to modify sensor smali is currently not working well for me here, so maybe we can find a way to make the 0 position portrait, and we use landscape the 360 rotation fix will handle that part, so it simply goes into 90degrees.. i had a small simple app for this test which always shows current angle used. but none of my changes had any good results (which i did friday), but sounds like you got a litle bit further..

ps: would have been good to post in this, as its more tweaking than FolioMod related.. although i recon everybody expect FolioMod to have all tweaks, their origin might by from somewhere else :-)

this is actually what i mean here? maybe you already got it right? because landscape on Folio should say 90degree and not 0.

but hardware seems to support the swap_xy , but havent had a chance to check the kernel for exactly how and when to write "Y" in that register to make it swap x/y.

HI Dexter,

i've tried everything step by step, regarding the new mod for the Folio.

Yet i keep getting " can't mount E: Sd Card " , and then just reboots into normal store bought mode.

What is wrong.. i have tried 2 sd cards so far, 1 mcc card but no luck in getting the new update to be taken by the tablet :(

i'd love to get the thing working with android market so i can download more apps as the store bought config with Toshiba market kinda s*cks :) nothing on it..nothing..

thanks allot

* edit * : after getting the message, the tablet now froze and does not want to start up again/ just black screen... help ! (thanks)

now I try to revert back to foliomod...

thx to all!
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
It's not very hard to disable/remove them by yourself. and the startup apps aren't the big issue. there's a problem with system_server, which makes it go into a loop just a few seconds after startup and hogs much of the processor power for about 10 minutes. we think it might have something to do with the memory card driver.

but if you want to remove startup apps you can do that by deleting them from the application manager under settings, and if it's system apps, you can remove them by deleting them from /system/app/ using a root explorer tool.

be careful though, as some of these apps are neccesary for android/the framework to run. for further info, you should check out the general folio thread as i have posted a sloppy howto there.

any chance you can add an additional option, in setup, maybe not in mainwidget, so user can switch between adhoc and normal wpa_supplicant ?

i have added a "/data/use-adhoc" test file, so if it exists, it will use the adhoc client?

im putting together a new update with the changes, and im trying the original kernel again, to see if that makes bootup less cpu intensive..
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
the original kernel kinda screwed up the mounting of the internal SD, i hope that'll be fixed first (=

and i don't think it'll make a difference since i experienced the same bootlag behaviour on 1.1
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
after some days, i can only say i ****ed up, the boot.img i put online, was very much untouched, so the reference to the /sdcard was again back to the /storage which is not supported by anything.. sorry about that :-)

but im with the original stock kernel, and yes, i still see major lags and some utilization between 5-7 (sometimes even 9) during bootup.. and i simply dont see anything in system_server causing this , but it is reporting 50% some times..

im still trying to debug this.

[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
to be honest and the fact that i noticed small increased performance in 0.2, its maybe wise to seriously consider if the toshiba edition can be better than it is now...

As you point out it's difficult to satisfy every one but as an enterprise driven tool, the 0.2 with removed google apps (kudo kepler1982) and market it's quite ok. I can even have google maps with the 3D buildings !

Just to reveal the importance of the market, on a french forum there's a mess with a guy that 'solve' this problem by purposing a black market. Ugly. It point that we are illegal with our mod (it's false for sure) so we can hack everything.

use titanium backup to freeze the apps, u can freeze both system and user apps. this will prevent the apps from being loaded when booted. u will not be able to run the apps until u unfreeze them. its a safer way IMO to prevent some apps to load and consume resources.

[Folio 100 Android Development] duncaneidaho:
those are CPU load averages (last minute / last 5 minutes / last 15 minutes)

And according to those figures, your CPU is heavily loaded (1.0 is 100% of one core, thus having 2.0 means that both core are used at 100%).

Regarding the way the widget is designed, would it be possible to get a system daemon to perform the change on the config files once they are monitored in the app? This would allow us to get an app or a widget to change the config (via a shared config bank were the daemon would read the values).

You said you inserted opengl es 2.0 into folio 100 using sdk egl and I think by replacing some libraries such as libegl.so and eglsanity etc etc... in /system/lib
