Hello Dexter,

the Folio works really fine now with the v0.2a. Just a few issues are not working as they should.

I have the same issues like ommx and if I connect the folio to my pc or notebook it is identified as a card reader without medium. So when I try to sync my Documents To Go-Files at PC with those at the Folio, the Sync-Software shows me, that the Folio/Device is not connected.

Edit:

At my Folio the USB Connection works properly, when I have connected it to the power supply. Then the screen with the USB connection activation doesn't close. Funny!

Best regards

Scrootch

Android Tablet 2.3 Gingerbread OS

Lilliputing reports:

"A company going by the name of Woow Digital is reportedly planning to launch a 10 inch Android tablet in December. According to Engadget, the tablet will have a dual core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. Oh yeah, and it will run Google ANdroid 2.3 Gingerbread… once Google gets around to releasing the operating system.

The tablet, which goes humbly by the name “The One,” will have a 1024 x 600 pixel touchcreen display, Bluetooth, WiFi, and WCDMA 3G wireless capabilities. It’s set for launch in Japan for about $500 before the end of the year. It will also be made available in other regions including Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Europe."

/drool.....
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
sounds pretty much like Folio100 as well..

lets hope its compatible somehow, so i can use their 2.3 for our model :-)
[Folio 100 Android Development] appelflap:
Definitely gonna try this. Just one quick question: Is it possible to restore the Folio completely with the method posted in post 1. I just want to make sure that I can install new updates from Toshiba when they come out (and are worthwhile)

BTW Why isn't there a Folio forum?

EDit: another question, is it possible to get a ADB connection on a Windows 7 64 box. (I tried some tips found on the net, like changing some ine files, but none of them seem to work)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Mark Chia:
Lovely 0.2 Version. I've got it up and running now.

Can the GPS be enable? And is it possible for a 3G usb plug be used and read by the OS for map GPS?

Thanks
[Folio 100 Android Development] donylandes:
Well I'm trying to install update like this in this order :

then

at least

and I reboot and I found Toshiba interface again ? So I've done a mistake , but where ?
[Folio 100 Android Development] shawnfr:
Err - stuck at the touch Android screen

:(

I applied the update and it has an effect as I have an Emergency dial on the Touch andoid to beging screen... but touching has no effect (apart from changing colour).

Stuck and can't get any further ... help :confused:
[Folio 100 Android Development] shinebar1001:
adb works fine, shell has changed - new default shell is bash ;)

rootme is not in the path, I used /system/sbin/su to get root.

And now something interesting: there is no /tmp on my device

sh-4.1# ls /tmp
ls /tmp
/tmp: No such file or directory
[Folio 100 Android Development] folio100:
me I have some things very bad, My wifi connexion is not working any more after applying the update, it's say error, some things is wrong, i made a facory reset but nothings change, could you help me please.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
problem found..

im uploading a recovery fix.. this needs to be run first, then reboot and put image update.zip on sdcard and it works..

download this one , rename to update.zip and put on sdcard.

After reboot it is now rooted.. and original image i posted can be installed.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
-) as the update did not work, it could not affect anytning.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
hmm, so it did work? you got the android screen now, which does not appear with toshiba stock install?

if you do have the android screen, and you do see a finger pointing to the middle of the logo, why not try that trick with your hand :-)

thats the way to start on android..
[Folio 100 Android Development] shinebar1001:
Fix was applied without problems, rootme works in adb. Bootup-screen changed to "malata" shows up for more than 2 minutes now - ist that correct? shall I reboot?
[Folio 100 Android Development] badstorm2010:
ok... I think the update works this time. But now when android start it show a new logo "malata" and stop here... no desktop show...
[Folio 100 Android Development] roglio:
Nice work dext3r! I'm going to try it!

Thanks!!!!!

P.S.: i'll put that file on multiupload ;)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Oneiros7:
same thing here rebooted and it works the second time.

You rock Dexter!!!
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
any information from a adb shell session will help if it continues, because that means that we got different folio's on the market, as mine works perfect.

did you remember to WIPE factory reset?, if you got a lot of crap in the /data folder from toshiba stock rom, it will NOT load and work..
[Folio 100 Android Development] shinebar1001:
Eeehhm. No...

The ps aux in adb shows that mediaserver and zygote are restarted very often.

Will try a wipe..
[Folio 100 Android Development] pirkner:
stuck at 'malata'

Did not make a factory reset after applying the mod - after 'reboot' tab was stuck at the 'malata' logo.

switched off - rebootet into recovery and did a factory resert and VOILA - it works! GENIUS!!
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
not sure why several ppl has this problem, but seems a second reboot after some minutes is needed.

do note, it does take some minutes to install the first time. if you reboot to early you might mess up your /data partition.

and yes "MALATA" is some Nvidia thing, i did not include any fancy boot screen, we can always fix that one.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
you do need a factory reset, as android database do not recognize any of the new files now...

so please! do a factory reset, this is not a addon, it require WIPE / factory reset.
[Folio 100 Android Development] shinebar1001:
Okay. After wiping everything it seems to work fine for me!

Thanks a lot for your help. Will try evertything now :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] badstorm2010:
Also for me, after a restore works perfect for me!

Great job!!
[Folio 100 Android Development] shinebar1001:
Great work! Gmail, Market, Angry Birds - perfect. Thanks so much!

Same here the data wipe did the trick, thanks a lot!
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Good question :--) lets hope Toshiba finds a way to implement or others find drivers suitable for android linux.. the Market is really big for this and an area i dont cover.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
i thought thta there was not a real gps chipset in the folio. but u can use an app for external gps, and have a gps chipset receiver via bluetooth. dont remember the name and other people owning an archos 101 has reported a successful gps use this way.

as far as the 3G, well havent seen anyone been able to do that with a 3G usb modem. guess there are no drivers for that since android is designed to be a phone OS and u usually dont plug a 3G usb modem in a phone :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
USB Mass storage seems to have been corrupted in the release during prepping.

I will try and make a patch to fix it, when i locate the reason for the window to close when opened.
[Folio 100 Android Development] appelflap:
Superb!

Great, great job!!

How should I put it: like if the folio is running like I expected it to run. All things fixed: market, pinch-to-zoom in the browser, better responsive touchbuttons, gmail, sync...

THANKS

Btw I recommend a density between 180 and 190 for this device (change ro.sf.lcd_density value to 180, 185 or 190) Text is much better readable with that density.

What is the best font for readability on this device? Any suggestions?
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
if i remember correctly there is an app called lcd density changer on the market. can this maybe be used to make these changes, instead of asking dexter_nlb to do patches all the time for these minor things?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Scrootch:
Hello Dexter,

sorry, but maybe there is another issue:

I installed yesterday some apps after the install of the Mod v0.2. I tried them an they worked (angry birds, pinnwand). Now I tried to reopen them and my Folio says to me, this "application isn't installed on your phone.". In the application settings > manage application they were still listed as installed apps.

Best regards

Scrootch
[Folio 100 Android Development] zizouth:
After some test the 210 value for density is the best.

Just try ultrakeyborad before and after this value
[Folio 100 Android Development] appelflap:
I wrote that app. I'm beansoft LOL.

The app is paid so I didn't want to recommend it here. But yes, it works great on the Tosh. Editing the build.prop file manually is not a problem if you have a tool like root explorer. Another option is to use the light version of LCD Density Changer. It's in the app section.

For convencience I have attached three build.props for this v02 release.

one with a density of 180, one with a density of 185 and one with a density of 190.

Rename the file you want to build.prop and copy it to your system directory.

Reboot after.
[Folio 100 Android Development] bigbbl:
+1 and it's free.. exactly called "LCDDensity for Root", every body have their own taste for density, by default 160 is good between 180 and 190 not everyone gonna like, personally with ldcdensity I'm using 140 now, so as kaivish suggest use your own choice through lcddensity ;)
[Folio 100 Android Development] appelflap:
Also a great setting. A higher density will prevent pixelaration (is it a word?) of the letters.

OMG I love this tablet. I've swapped it for a ipad and it was a right choice. So much more freedom with Android!
[Folio 100 Android Development] appelflap:
LCD Density Changer light is free also. It's in the app section and has the exact same functionality as LCDDensity for root (which is also very nice)

Of course one should find out for oneself which density value is best. I just gave a tip. My tips aren't directive though ;)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Folio47:
perhaps its usefull for your work?

[Folio 100 Android Development] shawnfr:
I'm guessing you have the source? If so, any plans to put up the rest, as I'm trying to build the services framework to get the tablet to allow the use of build.prop to set the default orientation to portrait rather than landscape... not having much joy with the Tetra git at the moment but it's probably my build environment.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Mark Chia:
In my own country (Singapore) I have seen China made android tablets able to use usb 3G dongles for internet connection.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
this is application based , not framework..as far as i know..

the ScreenOrientation="portrait" in app properties should fix it.. thats how i fixed Launcher app to use sensor for orientation.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
many of those 3g mobiledata dongles are with the same origin, at least here in denmark they all come from one company although different revision of the dongle, its the same.

maybe you got some links to a source for the module or ?

update:

i found sources myself now, so ill check up on it.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
thanks, at least its worth looking at if there are something better offered.
[Folio 100 Android Development] appelflap:
I'm really happy with this rom. Made a donation. Keep up the good work!
[Folio 100 Android Development] tshoulihane:
The whole thing was 800MB zipped, and I'm going to struggle to upload that any time soon. The kernel is up, and anything specific I ought to be able to post. So far as I could tell by looking at the dates on the files there was not much changed from the tegra git.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
at least display driver is different.. Nvidia seems to have 1366x768 , where ours is just 1024x600 .
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
i know that this may come as a stupid question, but what is the real resolution of the lcd on the folio. it says 1024x600, but is it the max supported resolution?

if nvidia goes up to 1366x768 and the lcd on the folio can somehow manage this without burning out , is it possible to increase the resolution in the next mod then?

Oh and i read somewhere that apparently android 2.3 is coming out the dec 6th, the day google inc. has some kind of conference, dont remember where i saw this today, but its not from official sources i think. so look out for a build somewhere :) maybe the folio can be the first one to get a modded 2.3!! :P
[Folio 100 Android Development] pvanthof:
Why would you want that? You'll get lcd-side (or gpu-side) pixel scaling. 1024 x 600 is the native resolution of the LCD panel. Increasing the resolution will only result in detail LOSS, because of the necessary back scaling.

@Dexter:

a +1000 internets to you, kind sir!

Thanks man! The Folio turned from a useless piece of cr*p to a fun-to-use device!

where to Buy folio cover?

Hi Anyone know where to buy toshiba folio Cover ?

Or have a substitute?

i from Israel.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Scrootch:
Hello everybody,

at my Folio the following procedure works with Dexters Folio Mod v0.2a to connect the Folio properly to the PC via USB:

1. Connect the Folio with the power supply

2. Connect the Folio with your USB-cable to the pc

3. Now the USB-Window doesn't close and you can select the mass storage connection.

It would be great, if some of you could check this out at their Folio and report, if it works or not.

Best regards

[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Confirmed working here, thanks for the tip.. it was hard debugging this one, and still is i guess. but this works.
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
I still have not installed 0.2a, can those who did please let me know if they find some differences in the screen-on-during-standby problem, or the awakening from standby problem?
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
did anyone figure out a fix for the icons/widgets on the home screen ?

seems like you can't have more than 4x4 icons set. if you try to set more, they'll disappear when the screen rotates.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Scrootch:
Wake up from stand by - no problem, works pretty fine

screen on at standby - not tested yet
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
Just to make sure: does this mean that EVERY time you press the power button, the tablet switches on? Do you have to press the power button for some seconds? Does the tablet switches on instantly, or does the led blinks for some seconds after you press the button?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Scrootch:
I just press the power button short and the Folio awakes every time instantly. Only when the stand by did last longer (e.g. in the morning the first power on) it could take a second or two that the folio awakes.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kevin.hansen:
Have tested version 0.2a during the day and overall I am very satisfied with it!

Great work, donation is on its way ;-)

[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
Should I do a factory reset before updating to v0.2?

I'm aware of doing it after the update is installed, this to ensure that the new version will work correctly.
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
I'm starting to think that this is a problem with my tablet... Do you leave the wifi on?

Did you experience my same problems with 0.2?
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
stilgar: it's not just your tablet. mine has the same problem. might be a revision thing or something though.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i have included a "clean" solution, so /data & /cache is cleared at install, so i dont get all the "bootscreen" problems with ppl forgetting it ..

So its ok NOT to wipe before the install now. :-)

but on the other side, i can confirm its done, and people should make backup before they install if they know how to use something like titanium (is on Market)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Scrootch:
With v0.2 I had the same problems, wake up from stand by didn't work very well.

Over night I turned wifi of, during the day i let it on.
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
Ok, i'll have a go a 0.2a then...
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
After updating to v0.2 I found some minor things and perhaps they are only happening to me...

The notification bar are only one third of the size and shown in the middle (when pulled down).

There is something wrong when the wallpaper is drawn because there is approx one centimeter which is black below the notification bar.

Is this something that anyone recognize?
[Folio 100 Android Development] FolioSwe:
yes, same here.
[Folio 100 Android Development] appelflap:
Ok, just one very annoying problem. The device constantly wakes up when I set it on standby. So, when I press the power button to turn down the device, the screen goes on after a couple of minutes and don't turn of anymore. (Didn't check my screen off time out settings, but anyway... )
[Folio 100 Android Development] shawnfr:
I think I need a copy, as I'm suffering from changes in all the other jar files when trying to just build the services jar :(

Where did you get it from?

I don't want to be defeated just adding a few extra lines as an experiment :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] tshoulihane:
I got it by asking here:

Linux Information for TOSHIBA PC <linux@toshiba-dme.co.jp>

for the GPL source code (and it took 3 weeks).

If there is a specific part of the tree you want, I can publish it, but I don't have a very good net connection, so uploading the whole thing probably won't work.
[Folio 100 Android Development] raymentchen:
Thanks very much. I almost lost my hope.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Mark Chia:
Yah mine still power down totally after a long hibernation as well as suddenly screen power up during standby. This was present from ver 0.1 and I think even before flashing ROM.

Come to think of it, even my Milestone has that problem but worse as the screen then won't go into sleep mode after waking on its own.
[Folio 100 Android Development] shpitz:
screen turns on and off every few minutes

In standby mode the screen turns on and off every few minutes

Is there a patch or configuration change?

I am getting a force close on the superuser app. Didnt happen first time, but i have to mention that i uninstallen the "google pinnyin" app as i dont use that input method. Anyone else with this problem? Rebooted but no change.

Btw, v0.2a is very close to the way the folio should have been out of the box. Excellent work!

One other thing,angry birds doesnt work here,it loads but the levels are a black spot,cant move around in menu and its lags a lot. Couldnt even start a level to play.

Tries pool break 3d,works fine except when u tap n hold n move on the screen,the whole screen turns black as if the gpu is not powerful enough to render the physics graphics. Any one can confirm this?

[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
i can confirm some flickering and black screens in this game. don't think it has anything to do with the power of the gpu, i bet it's more of a driver issue.

also, Quadrant can't figure out the cpu info, and reports it as an ARMv7, no frequencies reported.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
well, i do have one solution which support cifs over wifi.. but its actually "copyrighted" material.

My milestone has an app called "Files", this one works on my Folio and can copy/paste files over wifi.. its not a mount, its more like browsing your shared folders. but it works..

Hi Dexter

i appreciate your job thanks a lot .

Will need your help because my folio with mod 0.2a don't find wifi hide, why ?
[Folio 100 Android Development] shawnfr:
Thanks - just to check... are you comparing with this git?

repo init -u git://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/android/manifest.git -b froyo-tegra

I have been building :

mydroid/frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server

but it pulls in stuff from :

mydroid/frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/internal/view

So it's a bit tricky to narrow things down :( I would say base/core and base services?
[Folio 100 Android Development] pandersen:
I have mod v.01 and I think it works great. Some minor prob like the screen starts in stand-by mode and other small isues. My biggest problem is, that I can't keep wifi on in standby mode running without AC power. Tried different apps, but wifi shuts down even if my wifi is set to "never" turn off. Can't download mod v.02a!! from Dexter's Mod's.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Daek:
Hi dexter,

cifs was supported by es file explorer too, but cifsmanager mount a directory. It's easier to browse files directly from a media application than use dlna.

Is your app calls "files" from your milestone can do this?

Is it difficult to integrate cifs.ko in the kernel?

Thanks for your work, mod v0. 2a rocks!
[Folio 100 Android Development] tshoulihane:
It is Armv7 (All Cortex cores are)

Yes, that is the git I was using as a reference, but I didn't actually check the whole thing. Just a visual scan (and I don't know android, so don't assume I've not missed something)

I stripped out the tests and anything that looked un-interesting from frameworks/base - made it much more manageable.

Still it would be great if you could upload everything. It would allow everyone to have a look and hack around.

You could use a uploader service on the net and others with faster connection could spread it, host it. If needed I could set up a ftp account for you to upload it to and I can from there place it on a more public place.
