Thanks for your answer Dexter.

Concerning drain battaery problem you mean that you haven't this kind of problem or that you haven't already check it?

Thanks again

I do not mean to alarm no one nor create anger.

I just wanted to share what i got from a very very lengthy phone call to toshiba nordic support center.

well after being sent to almost every department there as the people didnt have a clue what the folio was!!!, i could talk to some guy who said that toshiba is still working on the flash. he doesnt know when a firmware will be available.

i mentioned the hardware buttons to him and he said he is aware of it, but toshiba is working on the flash at the moment, and the other issues are firmware related.

he said that toshiba rushed the folio too soon to the market, so there is a lot of problems ( nothing really we didnt know there). he actually recommended to to send the product back to get a full refund, and i asked but if later withinh the 2 years i want to send it back because of the ahrdware buttons, then does it fall under warranty, he said YES.. so anytme within the 2 coming years we are having free service on the folio as its apparently already broken out of the box!

Dexter,

After having read a lot of pages into this thread, would you mind updating the installation instructions in your first post?

There's quite a bit of confusion about this on the first pages.

However, thanks a lot for sorting out all those problems with this device, which Toshiba failed to address!

Cheers!
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
someone wrote a full instruction page ,actually 2 members wrote a noob-proof instructions, look around on the thread. i think its around page 10 upwards.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
I would say the stand-by and also the process overloading the cpu and the responsiveness of the hardware buttons(probably because of the process making the cpu run 100% all the time) are the main issues which are more serious. if these can be fixed then the device is almost perfect!

[Folio 100 Android Development] james00000007:
Nice work Dexter. The 1.0b version is looking good. I hope the guys at Toshiba appreciate your work. Nice to see you've loaded up the apps as well. Still some issues with things like angry birds for me. Rock player is playing all files. Tried a 720p video and played by sound was out of sync (using software decoding). Non HD was fine. I’m getting some crazy wifi happenings. I have two routers and at first it could not connect to either of them. I can now connect to one of them, but with only poor reception when I'm sat next to it. My desire has full connectivity to both.

Interesting that we can take our Folio's back for a full refund for up to 2 years! I'm not sure how that will happen. My guess will be that that they try and get 2.3 for the next model which has the 3g... Looks like next year before we see anything from Toshiba. I expect they are covered in red tape trying to move.

[Folio 100 Android Development] pekka91166:
Got my Folio100 last saturday, playing around with it following this thread.

Great work from Dexter, I'm running 1.0B version, whic is doing pretty OK.

As for the screen blanking and NOT coming alive (Stand-By) issue,

it seems that if the Folio has gone to stand-by I can get it to live by pressing the ON/Off Switch and directly afterwards pushing on the "battery/on" LED on the right top of the screen, above the HW-keys.

Seems to work pretty well in that way :-)

Another thing which I've noticed comparing to my modded Samsung SGS is that apps like Gmail and Settings hardly show any colors.

On my SGS, in Settings all icons are colored, and NOT on the Folio. (and it's not the limited viewing angle on the Folio.

I'll be re-installing the V1.0B completely to see what's the difference versus upgrading form 1.0 / 1.0A / 1.0B etc.

Another question: is the DPI (ppi)-setting changed on 1.0B? Like the 160 settings? Smaller fonts look pretty ****ty... :-(

Dexter, again, thanks for your great work so far....:)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Daek:
Yes I want it :p
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Really a wierd issue here, as i can confirm it works too. somehow either hw is defective or Toshiba was originally planning some touch key there, but somehow removed it. i dont know but yes, it seems to work.

I update post #1 linking the 2 other install instruction, hope all the newcomers can use the different choices now..
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
i tried many, many video players, including the rock player, vplayer, arc media, toshiba media player to play a 720p mkv file. none except the arcmedia player played the file but still it was very pixelated on the screen and extremely laggy and sound was out of sync of course.

tried 720p brrip mp4 files, these seems to work better, but still a very little bit laggy sometimes.

regarding toshiba trying to get 2.3 fort the folio,,, i wouldnt count on that i think they just dropped the whole product. look at the ac100, its already a dead device.

toshiba is just hiding from the folio issues and pretending the device doesnt actually exists. i wouldnt be suprised if they totally stop supporting the folio and refuse to provide any help for it.

this toshiba thing is a one time thing for me and only the hardware and the mods from dexter made me keep the device. never again with toshiba. I would rather pay premium with HTC, knowing u get what u pay for.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
the yxplayer might actually get to work on our device, but the developer probably need details on how to support the hardware..

the real mkv problem is container support, not the actual h264 which is handled fine hardware wise.. so if just it was handing mkv it could playback using hw quite fine..

take the wmv samples from microsoft, those look excellent on folio and audio works fine.. comparing to WDTV these dont work at alll . so thats a plus for nvidia here..

but using software decoding, then its a lost course.. it really is not good, and remember the cpu is not the issue, the problem is that we're talking JAVA here..
[Folio 100 Android Development] mukkags:
Thank u very much for all Dexter Now I love my folio 100 I'm using 1.0

Only one quick question If I'd like to try the 1.0b I have to reinstall also the recovery before the 1.0b version?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
no. when its installed with "root" recovery once, you do not need it in future updates. instructions are all for new users.

as yes, maybe a note to existing users would be helpful, that recovery do not need to be used once unless the box is rolled back to stock, as i included original recovery here too.
[Folio 100 Android Development] bigbbl:
I'm back to use 0.2a, it seems for me personally that my network works better on it, I dunno why.. no standby problem until now since last night, even after 6 hours of stand by :p

but I'll test any new release to give you feedback so you can improve more foliomod.

it will be great if you can add in next releases possibility to uninstall default apps like remove toshiba home and Home thing so we can only have one. others like media player already can be removed easily

personally what i never liked on toshiba official rom is all apps they added expect for toshiba file manager smart presentation or screen capture.. but that depends on every person tastes which is hard to satisfy :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] pekka91166:
I just installed a Fresh new V1.0b (so not an upgrade) (coming from an upgrade to V1.0b working installation).

Somehow things seemed to work slower, so I just did a factory reset and see how it's working now.

Somehow, when setting up a WifiAccespoint, after I input the password, I need to exit from WiFi-settings, get back and then an IP-address is assigned.

Just configured Exchange, defined 7 days via push, emails coming in, approx. 100+ per day.

Contacts + Calender synced well from Exchange!

Setup gmail went perfect, again system feels less responsive than before when I upgraded from Toshiba's FW via 0.2A tot 1.0 to 1.0a > 1.0b

Will test some more....
[Folio 100 Android Development] appelflap:
Solved

Dexter, the stock folio rollback doesn't work. Can you look at it? Also, do you have a way to get the original recovery manager back?

Anyone else?

EDIT: made a fundamental android rom flashing error. I didn't do a factory reset after I applied the update.zip. Did that, and it booted just fine.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
true, but very few movies are encoded in wmv, most of the videos are encoded in h.264 in mkv container. well hopefully we'll get something soon. i wrote on the thread of vplayer, hoping the dev can modify the app to support cpus without neon and give hardware decoding on tegra based devices
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
If it was possible to get YXplayer to handle MKV in a better way with the Folio by using the hardware acceleration the same way the Gallery video player and Toshiba Media Player does, it would be great. All third-party video players I've tried all use software decoding which is not viable. It needs to be hardware decoding (hardware acceleration).

The hardware (Tegra 250) is exceptionally good and can handle AVCHD (H264) in 1080p without breaking any sweat... I tried this yesterday and converted a movie clip to AVCHD (H264) 1080p and with a bitrate of 10 Mbits. And it played fine on the Folio using Toshiba Media Player and the builtin Gallery video player.

Also Mov (H264 in 1080p) and Divx in 720p (i've not tried this with 1080p) works on the Folio.

It would be better to not have to reencode everything I want to play on the Folio and just use MKV in 720p...
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
totally right.. i think the problem is Android that was never considered to use hardware acc. for media playback. so drivers are written in C or similar so its not using Android Java for this.

Secondly, (OT mediaplayback though)

I will not try and see if there a fix for the 4 (hardware) light buttons, as its so f.... annoying if its just a little dark, and you cannot see the keys when you use it on a daily basis, so its worth checking if its really hardware controlled (maybe bootloader) or really possible to manage software wise like on mobile phones where its possible to turn on/off ...

Hi,

I've noticed the G-Sensor is not working properly.

It's working fine for Homescreen rotation but games like Asphalt5 are not playable with Accelerometer..

Maybe a calibration issue ?
[Folio 100 Android Development] ommx:
Love the new 1.0b ROM, feel more like stock because I use TV-kit which really what I bought my Folio for, with this ROM I can now switch the screen between Folio and my TV now as it using most Toshiba stock and all the remote Feature are running the way it should as well, plus I'm now type this post on my Folio via my LCD TV with bluetooth keyboard and mouse... really cool...

Thank you Dextor for your great Mod,

Some issue I found so far, it seem that if I swith off WiFi and go on stand by, the Folio might be in deep sleep and never wake up but if I leave the WiFi on, the Folio work like a charm, quick sleep and wake up, really love it,...

Not sure if anyone got the same stand by issue as me..
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
Apparently, if we leave wifi on, the folio does not go in standby mode, and all the standby problems are solved. But, this is a huge drain on the battery. Any way to solve this?

Standby->Awake fix in Post #1

since yesterday i had a fix prepared for the standby->awake fix, it has been tested by other users here, and it is confirmed to help, and which i my personal experience too..

See post #1 or download here

rename to "update.zip" and install using recovery.

Update,

As requested, i have added a "remove" ad-hoc support in wpa_supplicant, which means you get signal strength back, but loose ad-hoc (wifi via mobile)

See post #1 for the update.zip (and yes, its just 350KB)

2 - change wifi policy in "wifi - setup" -> advanced settings (menu button)

[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
This has been written several times, that the market paid apps cannot be downloaded in 1.0b, so yes, confirmed.. im looking into this.

you need to "downgrade" and try the 0.2 edition, but loose some other features (read post #2)

to Others,

Please note, the wifi update in post #1,

it might also resolve wifi sleep issues, but primarily made to give signal indicator back to those who do not need ad-hoc support.
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
Ok, patch installed, now the screen-on-during-standby is back... i left the wifi off... any chance to undo the last patch? Should i make a clean 1.0b install again?

but you can manually extract from the zip, or install using recovery.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
old trick from 0.2 -> enable "always on" for wifi. which solved it then.

seems to be a bug somewhere that it activate when wifi is not enabled, which the old wpa_supp did not work with, so it was always on.

now it will go off, but the auto-screen wake ups seems to come back, due to the fact wifi is being disbled in standby.

change this in build.prop in /system to a higher value

--

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=45

note: this is default on mobile units too, nothing strange about it.

Dear Dexter.

I confirm you that with last update (1.0b) , wifi does not work good. When you activate de wifi, it is the "Searching...." blinking all the time, and the wifi symbol in the upper bar does not appear.

I have applied the update you said was for wake up issue (two post above), but it says that is a patch for wallpaper ...

Thank you for the origina wallpaper, if you can in next update put it inside.

[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
Ok, after some testing i saw that the screen rarely turns on, but the device almost never awakes from standby... just to make sure i'm not doing anything wrong, how did you set your screen timeout and wifi to get satisfactory results with the last patch?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
I would if possible, but its tightly integrated into the framework, which require many changes i cannot do..

So my suggestion is to stay with 0.2 until a new solution presents it self..

i would say sacrifice here is less, if you feel this is important.. many do say 0.2 is still somehow better :-)

[Folio 100 Android Development] julio77:
Hello,

I've noticed another problem :

I use a masked SSID for my WIFI network, and the Folio 100 needs several tens of seconds or even several minutes to connect !

But My SGS and my HD2 only needs a few seconds...

I did not understand why the wallpapers are of such poor quality.

when they are viewing in the Gallery they are nice but once installed on the desktop they are pixilated.

Last strange thing,

when the device is plugged into the tv by hdmi, why the picture quality is so bad?
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
the folio has a resolution of 1024*600

a normal hdtv has a resolution of 1920*1080

so the hdtv has to scale up the picture, making it look pixelated.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
the only way for now to get 1080p, is movie playback in 1080p. because the mediaplayer seems to do it reverse then. So tv shows 1080p when recorded. so it seems to do downscale back on folio screen when its on?

maybe someone else tested and can conirm/deny it?
[Folio 100 Android Development] mhgonzalez:
