Well i had to power off the folio to update ur 0.2b. The lights remained on all the time since i powered on again, i didnt have to run the command in gscript again. I turned the folio off again n then on, n still the lights came back on as soon as the folio booted. Power plugg is in if that makes any difference here.

Edit: tried pressing the power button once while folio is running to put in standby n can confirm the lights go off then :) back to gscript then :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Sol Ido:
For the light standing after reboot i can confirm on 1.1. If you STOP the machine buttons will stay up even during the reboot. I've to SLEEP the device to cancel the effect.

Dext, i love the 0.2, even after the 1.1 i think i will go back to this version.

Finally i've worked a little on the FolioMod application. It was quite tricky but based on the works of GScript (big kudo to them) i can successfully send command to the device using a basic application. It's much more lightweight and will be used as the framework for the rest.

For now i'm thinking about a widget toolbar to gather UI tricks like on/off sensitive buttons and a application for the more tricky features :

-Button sensibility

-Processor min/max frequency

-Others to come

Do i said i love the 0.2 ? ;)

Thx
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
Really looking forward to you app. :)

Uguys should check if toshiba is hiring! Because with bot u n dexter_nlb there the folio has a better chance as all the others seem to be incompetent there. Like the mods say on the toshiba forum " i think you are a agree with me" LOL!

Hi

i want to upgrade mi folio from 1.0b to 1.1 and i have some question

1-have i to put the recovery in the 1.1 zip or not?

2-what will happens to the apps or file installed/saved with the old release of mod(1.0b)?have i to re-install all apps?

Thank you
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
my FolioDextMod will continue to be updated, if i see new Nvidia updates...

but sofar its not really worth a seperate threads, as updates are close to none currently. and its still available on my website, thats enough , if people want that edition.

i researched a little on the other mods for the Viewsonic Gtab. The cyanogen mod is not really useful, but would be easy to get running on our folio..

I could probably get the ClockworkMod working too, but since that rules out support for original toshiba updates, i will not go that far, and their installer is not really compatible anyways..

but we're stuck on nvidia/toshiba mods until a compiled kernel is working.

but i think i located someone who can take proper screenshot, which i will be investigating..
[Folio 100 Android Development] jbbrans:
1 - If you've done the recovery-update once, you don't have to do it again.

2 - All the applications you must install again. Some settings and/or savegames are remembered, but some are not. Downloaded or copied files are still there, as are directories.
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
Dexter, do you think it would be possible somehow to determine if out ir sensors are malfunctioning, or for some reason they are software-disabled? I don't want to return my folio because of some ir sensor...

Wifi works like a charm since I updated to 1.1. Connects extremely fast.

1.0b often couldn't find my Router or it took minutes to connect.
[Folio 100 Android Development] HCPASS:
Hi Dexter,

How about WPA update for v1.1 to get adhoc with this version?

Thanks

Stéph.
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
Yes I agree, I would not return my Folio either if the IR-sensor is broken.

One thing that I know for sure is that the remote actually is working so the problem is with the IR-sensor or the mod.

I would also like to know if there is a process that should be running which handles the IR-sensor or if there is an application we can run to determine if the sensor is working or broken.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
input device 5 or 6 is the nvec_cir device, that where the input comes from the remote as i watched it, it somehow replace a hardware keyboard function, so input is exactly like that and mapped when requested..

but its for sure not the mod, as 1.1 is fully working here (some functionaliity with hdmi switching on 0.2a didnt work, but 0.2a is not stock toshiba so expected)

another way is to simply watch the "logcat" output and see what happens when you press the remote buttons, in my case i could see the events and the keyboard mappings table which were not found.. so activity is there..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
sorry, its a promise, tonight ill make the update.zip so you can replace the 2 files..(wpa_supplicant + wlan_tool)
[Folio 100 Android Development] folio100:
hi, please don't forgot me, still I have problem with my Wifi connexion afeter the update, could you give me some supply to do the update with abd to erase all content and put your ROM.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
as this is kernel related, i cannot so easily change it.. i have access to kernel modding here, but Nvidia's kernel is probably not fully driver compatible, so we need a kernel update from toshiba i think.

but ill for sure test it.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
steps are as descriped in the post #1 , factory reset in recovery and install recovery mod , reboot , then install the foliomod.

wifi is not affected by the flashing, wifi is a driver issue, if you model is really not working when booting up, you seem to have a non-folio compatible edition or maybe early release of it?

try the "stock image", and see how wifi works, at least its stock firmware.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
A quick note,

thanks for all the generous donations received the last 12 hrs :-)

i fully agree that this mod is much closer to what we would expect of a tablet when i purchased it, so all the bad smoke around the tablet is clearing up a little now.. :-)

lets hope Toshiba follows with their own update so i get the right update binaries for doing it and we get some kernel bugs fixed.
[Folio 100 Android Development] duarip:
I cannot use usb thumb drive slot after doing it. Any solution?
[Folio 100 Android Development] folio100:
I will keep in touch.
[Folio 100 Android Development] mitchellj:
Many many thanks for this update, its saved my life. I am away from home on a holiday right now and the folio was pretty unusable for me before but now i can use it. Will definately be donating some cans of red bull when i get home.

One small issue though which i hope someone can point me in the right direction with..... after some use the process android. core dies and repeatedly does so. Looking at the stack trace it seems to be a disk IO issue with the user dictionary. When checking my settings storage it says Unavailible fof space and free. Is this just a manifestation of the issue with the unit using an external sd card instead of internal storage or something completely unrelated?

Many thanks

WIFI error

Hei shawnfr.

Everything works great for me too, except WIFI. It finds my network, connects, then disconnects. After some connection attempts, I get the 'error' message.

How did you get wifi to work?
[Folio 100 Android Development] shinebar1001:
I had this Error-Message once. The problem was the Energy-Widget, where the wifi-adapter has been switched off - switched it on there and everything was fine. So you have to enable wifi in the settings (sure you have, otherwise you wouldn't get an error) and the energy-management-widget.

HTH

[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
regarding scard yes, i have switched the way it works, so external sd is actually primary now :-(

i will change this with a little fix, but it means that downloads to sdcards are lost i think. as secure_container is on sdcard and not on the internal one, yet.

[Folio 100 Android Development] folio100:
t's me again sorry if i disturb you, even with the stock image my wifi connection is not working, i think the update doesn't work on my folio because I still have my old app and tochiba. before to do the update with your ROM my folio was rooted with SuperOneClickv1.5.5 and I had made manually some copy of Google App, then my Folio was not clean in the beginning, the question what to do to force an update with abd, I am very new then if you have a solution try to be more explicit. thank's.
[Folio 100 Android Development] shawnfr:
Nothing special it just started working after a reboot. I think the router was in N mode and has dropped back now.

Also I have to disable...reboot...enable. Then it works. Mmind you,as Dex said...the Toshiba driver was dodgy too :(

[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
After successfully updating my Folio with the new rom and now Angry Birds works perfectly, thanks. :)

It would be nice to be able to play MKV in 720p. I've tried the YX Player version 1.5.9, but it's out of sync and very laggy.

Is there a videoplayer that can play MKV in 720p?

I know that Archos player for the 101 can handle MKV 720p...
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
ok, ill take a quick look to see how easy i can revert to the internal <> external swap..

this should also fix the usb0 thing, you might actually easy fix this by creating the folder in your /storage location

so its usb0-disk0 , usb0-disk1 etc... seems they were made by the toshiba framework, and now its nvdia, which do not do this.

ie. /storage/usb0-disk0 create folder and see if it mounts when you insert usb stick, i guess thats what you mean here?

- Cannot use USB (does not find thumbdrive, mouse does not work)

- My /storage became empty after a reboot !

Have rebooted a few timed but its still empty

Looks like its not mounted !

I tried to install Asphalt 5 on the Folio but it's not rendered properly.

I installed Spare Parts in order to make it run full screen, but that does not seem to work. The Game i shown in the left corner of the screen and the touch input in the game is off.

Also the accelerometer is not working very well in the game.

Question

OMG... before today I was sure... 1.1 was for me.

Now, I see the NVidia Mod is resumed and the question is: what are the real differences?

Dexter spoke only for bluetooth (which is not a problem for me), but in the first post I read something about USB.

Can Dexter explain better the differences complete?

I think the main aspects are:

- Google Apps (Paid Apps vs. Only free apps)

- Bluetooth (as I wrote)

- USB

- Wakeup issues

- HW Buttons Sensibility and Light

- Video Driver

- WiFi options (Wpa / ADHOC etc etc)

Thanks

I have rebuild the kernel (whit the kernel find here https://github.com/tsh/folio100) and I have build the tun module (tun.ko).

Now how I can put it on my system? I need to rebuild the image and use the recovery? There is some howto?

Thanks
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
can you build us a cifs.ko module too? even better, how many different tools and environemt setup is needed to get it compiled?

i would really like to compile the source here too..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
- gapps paid apps work on 0.2 nvidia edition

- BT does not work correctly (crashes)

- USB works

- Wakeup - the same on all platform, all seems to point to nvidia issue here.

- hw buttons solution works on that one too

- video the same (it comes from that mod original)

- wifi pretty much the same, but 0.2 is still default ad-hoc with its bugs for showing signal strength and possible standby conflict here..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Perus:
Great work Dexter!

The mod seems to work very well - just a small question about the possibility of rollback, before I installed FolioMod the android version was 2.2.5.x according to Toshiba Service Station and after the mod it shows 2.2.4.x - could there be different versions of stock ROM's available?

/Per
[Folio 100 Android Development] Trumpfz:
I was wondering about this too. I also noticed that Service Station showed 2.2.5.x before the Mod. :confused:
[Folio 100 Android Development] mhgonzalez:
Hello. I believe that the original stock rom of Dexter is a previous version. Because when I test rollback with the stock rom original posted here, it say 2.2.4 too.

It will be good is some one did a copy of their original ROM where posted here to download.

@dexter_nlb

u are using kernel 2.6.32.9 in the current nvidia framework build. is it possible to make use of the 2.6.36 kernel that nvidia is using now? could it be that the latest kernel implements the 2 cores of the tegra?( since u mentioned before that use of 2 core is kernel related) if that is possible then according to the table nvidia presented recently on the advantages of using the tegra2, then we would definitely see a huge increase in performance but also battery life!! since 2 core performing the same task run at lower frequencies and requires less power to do the task.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
core wise, it does look like our 2.6.32 is already enabling 2 cores, but maybe newest kernel utilize them better.. the kernel is compiled with SMP support.

so maybe its a combination of android+linux kernel and how its managed.

but ill see when i get a kernel compiled myself. then i can check how i get the kernel patched to 2.6.36
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
I tried pressing some buttons the remote while using the alogcat app (available from the market), and sadly it looks like no input is detected at all... apparently, my ir sensor really is broken... it just sound too weird... would it be possible to understand which command allows the remote to switch off the tablet screen while connected to hdmi, so that we can use a bluetooth keyboard as the remote?

it its good, ill make 1.1 edition update with these changes if they are good.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
do u think it is possible to reimplement the serial numbers reading in the mods? like when running the service station on the mod, it leaves serial nos blank. can the build.prop be changed on the mods as well so we can at least see when and if updates are available from official channels?

when u get it, can u change the stock rom from the first page to this "new" one? so some of us can roll back to it if needed

and btw, grab the updates as fast as possible and save a copy of it somewhere as it will probably disappear from the servers just like the flash beta.

Foliowidget works nice.
[Folio 100 Android Development] pekka91166:
Hi

Widget works fine, just a few minor notices:

- can you adjust it's size: I have a 7x7 grid and yuor widget is too wide (if you try to move it to another location, you clearly see what I mean?

- Can you add a name or description beneath it (e.g. KeyLed or so?)

- Would be realy great to enable/disable the mod by your widget

- Is it possible to remember the settings? As sooon as the Folio (I'm running 1.1 mod) goes to sleep, afterwards awakes, the key-lights are OFF again.

Furthermore, I love the lights go out when you touch a button and ON again about 1 sec. later :-)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
you can use regctrl=0x8600 to set it back to off..

anyways i got other good news,

madstorm2010 has come through for us!!!

i got working cifs and smbfs modules loaded, and i can browse my samba shares from my nas server.. so thats really good!

maybe Sol Ido, needs to add mount functionality into the little app, or maybe we can find one on market? never searched but its working so lets see where it gets us...
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
ditto !!!

why didnt they decide to make this default? or an option at least, if the light bothers some users an option would be sufficient for it.. but yes now we got something so maybe we can find the "awake" fix, so it can also enable after a standby.
