@dexter:

i have a big request:

its a big problem to use the sensor buttons in the dark... it would be a nice feature, if you could illuminate them....

and of course, thank you so much for your modding, the folio is so much better now! :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i think the lights are 100% hardware controlled, because even if the machine totallt crashed (when i test) those buttons still work and light up..

so i dont think we can chance those lights at all, sadly not like phones where its actually soft controlled.
[Folio 100 Android Development] iansykes:
LOL that would be nice and is it just me or do you have to press harder sometimes?

I am in a strange mode wifi fine but bluetooth says i am in airplane mode cant seem to get out of it. Any clues guys?:confused:
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Yes but if you check your plastic on the right side with usb,hdmi, it seems that its loose somehow, and depending on the pressure plates here you need more strength to make it register your press.. so this is 100% hw defect.

this has happened once now for me now, but after a 12hrs+ standby
[Folio 100 Android Development] Folio47:
i dont think so, cause with stock rom from toshiba i had issues with the home button... now, with your v02.a the home button works perfect... but i have now probs with the search button... after fresh boot all buttons work perfect, but after a few minutes i have to press them a bit harder...
[Folio 100 Android Development] DArkwIng24:
Bluetooth stack is to simple

please make updating the bluetooth stack to be the same as in the original stack. bluetooth HID is not supported anymore
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
i'm adding a mirror, since it seems some people is having trouble downloading v02a

i'll add the url to this post when it's uploaded.

Mirror up at http://www.keplermusic.com/FolioModv02a.zip

:)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
ok? you mean its not working at all? or?

how do i test?
[Folio 100 Android Development] DArkwIng24:
you need a bluetooth keyboard or mouse using HID profile. in the original stack the keyboard comes up as a keyboard in the bluetooth connections icon when you search for devices. and you can controll the folio with mouse or keyboard. this HID profile is needed for Wii remote connection :P

EDIT:

it seems that the Wiimote app works. so the HID profile is in the stack but not possible to use as a mouse or keybord in the OS.

if you connect a mouse to the USB port you can use mouse to surf the web. so it should be possible to make the bluetooth stack do the same.

is it possible to rip the bluetooth driver from the original image to toshiba?

new to android

Hi i am new to the android operating system. I have the folio and i want to try this mod.

firstly the file download size is udate zip =7,210kb

folio modv02a = 123kb is this correct

secondly do i have to unzip the files and then put them on the sd card or do i just put them on as they are.

Thank you for your patience in advance
[Folio 100 Android Development] DArkwIng24:
this is how i did it:

- copy update-recovery.zip to a SD card.

- rename to update.zip

- boot in to recovery mode:

At Toshiba power-on screen, Press Power, then press VOL+

Now press VOL+ button to enter factoryreset/firmware update

Press VOL- to enter firmware update

Press VOL+ to confirm you want to do it.

Insert SDcard into folio 100

Press the HOME key , when you see the "!" screen

Choose "install SDCARD:update.zip" by using the vol + and - and power button (pwr = ok)

after the process is done choose reboot.

do this again but only now unzip FolioModv02a.zip to the SDcard. remove the first update.zip

reboot the device and vola you have a better working folio

problem slingplayer.apk

Great great work ... it works really well with the flash apk amended .... of course something you always find bugs otherwise there is no fun ..... I have a problem with an application very inportant to me where I can see sky slingmediaplayer.apk streaming after the update closes by itself help
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
I'm also having problem with the SlingMediaPlayer, after installing it, when running the application it closes immediately without giving any error.
[Folio 100 Android Development] iansykes:
I think capacitive switches as the menu button lights with the lightest touch others sometimes need a good push depending on context. I would vote for and contribute to any bluetooth attention -just want to get a headset working.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Jdbye:
I installed this, but my home button seems dead (it doesn't light up). Otherwise seems to be working fine.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
Give it some time. Its not dead. Just not responding. A reboot n it will work
[Folio 100 Android Development] mkkilcruit:
could you please tell me if the files i have downloaded are the right size.

folio modv02a 138,146kb

update zip 7,210 kb

folio stock 187,129 kb

thanks
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
Been testing the. 2a for a couple of days. Its better the folio now but everytime i uninstall an app,it gives me an error message that superuser app crashed n forcecloses. I downloaded the app again n installed it to overwrite the one that came with the mod but no change,still crashes!

One other thing, noticed that when u put down the volume completely using the hardware buttons, it goes to vibrate, like a phone. The when u try to put the volume up again it shows that the volume is increased but playing any kind of mp3 crashes the player app. I guess this is because dexter used stock froyo from htc, so actually the os thinks its a phone n not a tablet. Probably this is why toshiba cut off totally the phone part from their froyo as its conflicting with the hardware. The hardware buttons are still unresponssive as usual but hopefully it can be resolved. Last thing, dolphin hd auto closes after/during some intensive browsing. Wrong memory management?

Also sometimes the folio reboots by itself when its unresponssive, like due to processor overload.

I am really waiting for a proper android version for tablets to come out as froyo is indeed not for tablets like google mentioned.

Sent using my folio :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] fenixxx:
ugh, i have a big problem with 0.2a:

i've activated "flight mode" , i cant remove it, and the bluetooth doesn't work, it can't be activated.

please help!!!
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
They are the right sizes i think.

Mod 135Mb

Recovery ~7Mb

Stock maybe ~167Mb (dont remember this one :) )
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
The problem is that this froyo build in the 0.2a mod is from a phone. Deactivating the airplane mode probaly tries to activate the gsm radio first and since it cant do it, its not going forward to open wifi n bluetooth. Try pulling the battery wait n power on again.
[Folio 100 Android Development] dzsim:
cell standby

Settings/about phone/battery use/ cell standby 76%

Interesting ;)
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
:) yes. Refer to my posts above for the answer to this little bug. But in real its just the os standby, not cell.

But have to give a hats off to dexter for making this work.its really good work in a very short time. Its not been 2 weeks yet since he started to work on the folio n we are at 0.2a already! N a better tablet!

Cant wait to see what he can do when android 2.3 comes out in the next couple of weeks!!!
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
It seems now to me, that my initial version 0.1 based on the first framework is better than 0.2.

I might just revert and fix wifi script and and wpa_supplicant + add languages to launcher..

Problem might be that usb is stil not compatible within the framework..

but ill check up on it..

at least i can confirm BT seems not working..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
thanks , but as it looks i have been to quick on the testing of new framework from Nvidia.. i think 0.1 actually gives more.

But yes, next month or so, will probably gives up better result and me some time to research it.. at least both images are available for people with different needs.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
The advent vega n the g tablet are not so different from our folio in terms of hardware, is it not possible to check on their roms n compare the current issues to improve ours?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Jdbye:
Indeed, the home button seems to work now. But some apps just close, Hyper Jump just returns to the launcher and Dolphin HD closes when I try to toggle on a flash applet.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
Modaco released a rom for their advent vega, is it not possible to look at their froyo buils n framework in order to see how u can make the folio even better?
[Folio 100 Android Development] appelflap:
Does the v0.1 version also randomly turn on the screen? (If I remembered it well the original firmware had also this annoying bug. Would it be a hardware bug?

Also, it would be great if you can do something about the unresponsive touch buttons (I know that this was also a problem on the original firmware)
[Folio 100 Android Development] badstorm2010:
Did you find a solution to resolve the problem of the desktop on the 0.2a that lose the icon/widget configuration after each reboot?

There is any way to run some app at fullscreen size? I try to run SuperGNES but is to small.

Thanks!
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
LauncherPro fixed all the problems with the icons on the homescreen. now v0.2a is almost complete for me =)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Jihelce:
Using LauncherPro, i dont have this probleme on FolioMod 0.2 ( not 0.2a ). So it's an easy solution to change Laucher

Did you uncheck compatibility mode in Spare Parts ?

As it is my first answer on this topic, i would like to thank Dexter for his great job for which i already sent a small donation with pleasure.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
to fix the framework issues with

Bluetooth - mouse, headset , audio etc..

Sdcard mount/unmount

etc.. other small issues

I am trying to get stock toshiba rom fixed and using LauncherPRO here, with the addons for root, gapps, flashplayer, egl fix etc...

seems that hardware changes in framework makes our hardware pretty much diffferent although chipset is nvidia much other stuff is custom made.

this will not resolve "standby" awakening problem, as it seems to be hardware triggered , so Nvidia might be able to fix it, as it looks to be nvdia daemon which wake up screen.

currently languages seems not to be selectable in GUI, but "MoreLocale" seems to fix it for some countries here..

update:

i got it almost complete and built , it seems.

seems now that wma/wmv was originally not part of Toshiba rom :-( (of course fixed now)

Hebrew in the next rom

Hi Dexter,

Can you put the Hebrew in the next rom?

Thanks in advance
[Folio 100 Android Development] Trumpfz:
I just installed 0.2a few hours ago. Great Work, Dexter !

I love that changed Wifi code so I can connect to Ad-Hoc Wlan by using the tethering with my Samsung Galaxy I 7500. Works perfect !!

But for example Google SkyMap doesn't work properly. It works good for North and South direction, and it works when changing direction to left, but when I change direction to right at some point it just doesn't change the view anymore.. no matter if I change the direction further.

Is this something you can fix ?

Hmm funny, but I have the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy I7500 and a Custom Froyo ROM.

Is this a Froyo Bug, as it really is exactly the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy ??
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
is there any way to increase the max size of the wallpapers + getting the right ratio?

it seems like the cropper is using a 4:3 ratio, and the wallpapers gets zoomed up a fair bit. not really pretty :\
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
From my other roms on phones, i know RIL is hard to add, so i will check, but not promise anything.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
the "azimuth" seems to be wrong in the hardware driver, so its hard to fix.. maybe those looking into the kernel source, can fix it and deliver a new kernel or fix somehow.

i think only solution is wallpapers with a correct size. not sure its so easy to fix yet.

update: checking wallpaper, it shows 640x480, changing it to 1024x600 and its fullscreen covering all desktop.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Mark Chia:
I am having 2 problems: sound too soft, and can't take screen captures as all pics turn out black.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
Looking forward to 0.3 then :)

btw do u know if modders could implement use of both tegra cores in the advent vega or the gtablet? If they did, this could be very usefull to us n would make the folio blazing fast.

n according to u, the issues with the harware buttons are software related or the hardware is broken itself? As this could prove ground for replacement under warranty!
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Problem is Nvidia chipset seems to use the screen device buffer differently.

although i tried to dump screen with fbdump the raw image is somehow different.

But Toshiba actually included a sceeencapture, but i will check how it works, so we can use it.
[Folio 100 Android Development] DArkwIng24:
you need a special nvidia flash apk. you will find it here on the forum. search for folio flash.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Posted the v1.0 (decided to roll up, as its now based on stock toshiba rom)

On your core solution, i am not sure i understand? how should vega/gtablet benefit from something we dont have yet? Froyo2.2 only utilize 1 kernel, we have to wait for a kernel+android with multiple core support.

the hardware buttons are somehow possible to control, but seems light is not mapped in kernel.. so thats why i mean its somehow hardware related as the light probably is hardware controlled without any software that can change it (yet)
[Folio 100 Android Development] badstorm2010:
Great job! But there is anymore the calendar? How i can installit manually?
[Folio 100 Android Development] fenixxx:
can i put 1.0 on spanish?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
yes, with "More Locale 2" its a choice
[Folio 100 Android Development] DArkwIng24:
v1.0 better than toshiba rom but worse than v.02a

- the flash installed is not working on the same places that my version that i use on v.0.2a does.

you can not tilt more than to ways (landscape and clock wise.)

seems to crash more often now

+ all the bluetooth stack is 100 % now

think i will stick to v0.2a.

will be giveing a donation if you can confirm that you will continue to improve the non toshiba version also. :D
[Folio 100 Android Development] Scrootch:
Hello Dexter,

I just installed you new Mod v1.0 and at the first view it looks quite good. Even the USB issue works now. :)

But one question. After installation of v1.0 my calendar does't sync with my google calendar anymore. Could it be that in this version this service isn't included:

com.android.providers.calendar

Best regards

Scrootch
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Toshiba didnt actually have any activities for "sync", so i had to change some code, to activate it, so thats part of why the calendar was missing as well, because they never added it, but somehow that was added by nvidia, although it should have been there from toshiba too..

but i got the code changed for sync settings, so it can be configured, and calendar is added too now.

ill make a full version for those not downloaded, and a patch for already downloaded editions.

if you provide examples, it will help, as those i tested with it works fine?

and you can also uninstall and reinstall just to confirm, what you see is correct.

if then , the toshiba installer does not do a good job here.

i think it depends on your launcher chosen.. i did not fix regular stock launcher here..

again, with what app?, then i can look at it, otherwise im lost..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Quick update 1.0 -> 1.0a patch + full image update

Annoying issue was found, that GoogleApps did not have a sync setting in the Settings panel, so i had to figure that one out. Was not needed at setup initally so i did not notice..

+ Expanded wallpaper + (10% increased toppanel)

+ Missing Calendar app

Added to patch update 1.0a

Others users can download 1.0a full image in 1hour.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
Awww! And i spent all day setting up 0.2a :p

well. I'll do a backup and try 1.0a :)

You're too efficient, Dexter! :D

Posted from my Folio
[Folio 100 Android Development] aczabala:
Cool!

Thanks Dexter... 1.0a seems to be a good package...

Just to provide some troubles I encountered... "Power Control" widget seems to not able to load properly (as what it is saying) and the wifi icon on the stat-bar always display a "low" signal quality icon despite being right beside the wifi router

Thanks again and will try to give a donation as soon as I "debug" my online credit debts haha!
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Power control ill check..

Wifi signal is intentional.. its for the Ad-hoc support, that version is with a generic driver which does not report signal back to android.
[Folio 100 Android Development] shawnfr:
Only problem I have so far is Market fails to download my purchased apps. Free are fine...

Market shows downloading followed by unsuccessful but the progress bar stays up and you have to cancel the download.

Do I have to try Market enabler or fiddle with ROM fingerprints in build.prop?

Forgot to say...this has been fine on all previous Dex ROMs but I saw it on 1.0 and still broken on 1.0a.

thanx for the excellent work so far.

In the V1.0 I was missing the calender function indeed as well as the "Accounts and Sync-settings".

Hello:

I am spanish and I want to translate the installations instructions, but one thing I'm not sure: in a paragrah in red it says "PLEASE REMEMBER TO DO A FACTORY RESET IN RECOVERY MENU!", but in the instructions is not mentioned.

do a factory reset is the first step in this instructions?

This translation is added to the forum of HTCMania, where Dexter_nlb's work is very apreciated and grateful.
