hey guys,do you think our Toshiba Folio 100/ AS100 possible to run Honeycomb smoothly? The hardware specs is good, but current supported software on our tablet is fairly weak in my opinion...
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
Well I do not think the hardware will be any problem since Google have been using the Tegra 250 platform (same as in our Folio) as the reference platform when developing Honeycomb.
[Folio 100 Android Development] diman87:
Oh, thought our Folio also has 1 GB RAM... :(

Well, it's just the only "performance" thing that is different from Xoom... But it might run smoothly also with 512 MB. :cool:
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
it would probably work just fine, not like on xoom, but good enough. the problem will not be the tegra platform, but mainly the drivers for the other small hardwares present in the folio, wifi driver, screen/video driver etc....IMHO
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
Yes I agree, and also the whole Android 3.0 GUI is hardware accelerated and there is full support for both cores which should increase the overall perfomance.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i would hold back that thought, we need to revise the kernel and update to the 2.6.36 edition i think at least to support multiple kernels correctly with the android changes done..

Folio 100 WiFI driver issue

Thank you Dexter.

I think I fix the problem this way: I changed the WiFi "AdHoc" driver and put the "Wpa supplicant and now it works!!!

If I try to set WiFi as AdHoc it hangs up...

For the moment perfect.

Thank you again.

I am waiting for Honeycomb too.

Hi guys, have any of you tried playing Gameloft HD games on FolioMod 1.3d? especially those 3D games like Assassin Creed or Gangstar, sandstorm. The games looks like running well, but only thing is that all the 3D display is in white or black block. Is FolioMod able to fully support 3D games? or maybe we should wait for Dexter's hard work in the next release? =)
[Folio 100 Android Development] sader0:
1st of all, thanks for Rom. Installed it yesterday to my tablet.

I made also reset through recovery menu to get stability - but still got 2-3 system Crashes in approx. 1 Hour....they happen from time to time as well. This also comes with system being slow & unresponsive from time to time....This is normal ?

What patches stated on the 1st page of this topic are needed for ? Can it help to regain stability ?

Thanks
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
the rom as is, is very stable , but hardware makes it strange (i do stay unstable)..

if you notice "crashes" = FC app's it is apps that do not support the tablet, which is a well known issue... and i assume you did a factory reset before/after install 1.3d...
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
I believe that Gameloft does not have full support for the Tegra platform in these games. But according to what I have read, Nvidia has talked to Gameloft so I think they are working on improving their games so they support Tegra.

Also I think that the problem you mention has to do with texture compression which is not supported on the Tegra platform (correct me if I'm wrong)...
[Folio 100 Android Development] xitrumch:
Thanks a lot, that really help me! :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] weeds2000:
Tegra does support texture compression. I think it was DXT1 or DXT3 like on desktop GPUs.

The problem is that Adreno and PowerVR Chips do not support this compression format, but implemented their own (proprietary) format, which of course can not be supported by Nvidia.

The same is true for EA Mobile games like NFS Shift. All cars and track textures are simply white.

I think most of this will be solved when more Tegra based devices are available.
[Folio 100 Android Development] sader0:
Did factory reset after installation of the rom, after being stuck on the android logo....and not before installation....can this affect in any way ?

- experienced several freezes when trying to unlock screen

- sometime performance from brilliant & responsive becomes laggy. Even dragging elements in Alchemy game seems laggy, like fragmented in some way...

just want to find out if this is normal, or i have to try and reinstall

thanks for support
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
this is kinda known issue, the lockscreen freeze if you happen to unlock before sdcard is mounted, its seen as the message freeze in top left corner when unlock is tried.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kaivish:
Apparently some other tablets like the vega and the gtab have some newly updated nvidia drivers in the latest custom roms. u think that there is possibility for a foliomod nvidia v0.3?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
checking nvidia tegra2 website no official changes are out, so i assume it comes from internal builds from viewsonic or LG (Optimus2x), i will check it and see what changed.

edit: you mean 1.4 update? and not 0.3?
[Folio 100 Android Development] xitrumch:
for this I think you have to read back those posts from page 173-176 if I'm not wrong, some of us experience the screen freeze / unresponsive problem (including me). For my case I found the touch screen response better without being frozen from time to time when I switch off the Wifi.

so it finally happened to me..

i connected my folio100 to the TV yesterday to watch some flash live videofeed , and during this "happening", the buttons started flashing, my back button was totally annoying and HOME started the request all the time for which launcher to run..

was that annoying or what..

i did find any foliowidget solution, or paper solution to anything but it kept happening when it was close to my tv, so maybe something to do with heat? or the fact the hdmi plug was doing something with the display.

but it was soo bad, i decided to drop using it and used my pc instead :-(

but i join the clubs of users with crazy buttons! this was totally annoying..
[Folio 100 Android Development] fenixxx:
+1, tomorrow i will send it to Czech Republic
[Folio 100 Android Development] EulerVen:
+2. But it only happens when recently started and low Wifi level. Don't know if this is related, but that was the situation when it happened to me.
[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
It has to do with the heat.

When i stand near my fireplace, i get the crazy buttons, but otherwise i never have this problem.

This is clearly a hardware problem, and i don't think there is any way to solve this.

found the latest flashplayer update and its in this thread

Regarding SOD

I just found out that when the folio goes into SOD mode one can get it out of that state by plugging in the power cable. Works every time.

Don't know if that can bring any light to where the problem might be, but it doesn't hurt to mention it :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] kakkio:
tnx Dexter
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
I upgrade to the newer one but for me it doesn't work very well.

The flash content is somewhat distorted and when I try to play some flash video from www.svtplay.se I can hear the sound, but after a few seconds the stock browser just crashes (the hard way without any message).

Also I should mention that the previous version worked very well on this Flash site.

Can I somehow go back to the old version?

The last time I tried to go back I had to do a factory reset because I could uninstall the Flash Player but the system refused to let me install Flash Player...

Update: I went back to the first version which I still think is the best one.
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
Is the latest Flash Player the one released for Advent Vega?

According to Engadget the Advent Vega should now have certified Adobe Flash Player support.

Update: I went to the Advent Vega website and they list the following changes in their firware update:

Changes from 1.08

1. Addition of fully certified final Adobe Flash Player 10.1

2. Addition of touch panel calibration software

Since Advent Vega also use the Tegra 2 platform I think that perhaps our wait is over.

All though if we have to wait for Toshiba we might not get it before 2012...

Will there ever be a FolioMod v.1.4 ?

Just something like a FolioMod v.1.3 with all patches ?

So it can be easily installed once people start releasing Honeycomb Roms, which might not work as good as FolioMod, so people can easily switch back to FolioMod ?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
yes, it has been considered and i will look into this the next days, and whether the alst weeds2000 mouse fix should be included, but i think the kernel is wrong for our 3G mobility to work.. so which to chose is atm the question.

yes it is, so not even a stable release version makes flash better it seems..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Trumpfz:
Thanks Dexter.
[Folio 100 Android Development] sader0:
so guys, can you explain why folio hangs often? didnt have any sod but hangs happen quite often...
[Folio 100 Android Development] weeds2000:
@dexter the kernel is needed only for NTFS support (special characters are wrong otherwise) the mouse fix should work on the current kernel.

Can you (or someone else) confirm that the last kernel breaks 3g? I should be able to look into it at the weekend.

FROM androidtablets.net

Honeycomb will not be available for existing Folio 100

Source: Toshiba Folio 100 tablet wont get Android 3.0 Honeycomb upgrade | IT PRO

Looks like Toshiba is abandoning Folio 100 users for a Honeycomb upgrade. Tegra 2 works with Honeycomb. We all know that. This is more of a case of Toshiba giving up on this product.

According to Graeme Simons, Toshiba's business manager for digital products and services, the Folio 100 can't be upgraded to Android 3.0 Honeycomb since it doesn't meet Google's hardware requirements for 3.0 certification. Specifically, it lacks both GPS and cameras that face both backwards and forwards.

Sounds like nonsense, like bad parents who are trying to hide a damaged child.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Wulfreston:
I'm sure someone will correct me on this if I'm wrong, but it certainly sounds like the original reason that google apps weren't included on the Folio 100 in the first place.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
exactly, and why vendors have to include 3G to get it all included. but it makes the tablet more expensive..

Folio200 comes with the new update, but it also means another investment. and i dont think we will see many updates as it has been pretty much a silent product from Toshiba, and hopefully not many heard about its failure, so their 200 series will suffer the bad sales based on reputation and lack of compatibility issues...
[Folio 100 Android Development] Wulfreston:
I have to admit to feeling marginalised by Toshiba. here in the UK, I'm even still looking for a place to get the folio case for my Folio 100.

Thanks to yourself and others, I'm no longer bothered by what Tosh do/don't do software wise.

However, does it mean that yourself having done the necessary for froyo, you (and others of course) should similarly be able to do the same for Honeycombe once a base platform becomes available, or are we likely to have issues with drivers etc?
[Folio 100 Android Development] gohanSS:
You are right, in fact I am wondering why a backward camera is needed on a tablet? Most smartphones already have a high res camera so why have another one? The only answer is you need it for google goggles and that is it, pretty much the same with gps needed by google maps as I still do not know many people using a tablet for car navigation :-)

v1.3d hdmi patch available

Small HDMI patch available..

the patch enables the option in Settings to change hdmi output resolution..

original implemented in the new optimus 2x..

Remember: native folioresolution is just 1024x600, so it will be scaled to fix resolution. The primary function for 1080P output is with movie playback.

Thanks to MrMeee for the hints of the function in optimus 2x..
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
Nice work. :D

Is it possible to extract the video player from the Optimus 2x?

From what I heard the video player on the Optimus 2x should have hardware acceleration for MKV using the Tegra GPU.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
not possible for now, i tried but too many dependencies on libs, which do not run so nicely on folio for now...

UPDATE:

i had to make a rollback of the hdmi settings apk, as the "wifi settings" suddenly was messed up, and problem is not located for now..

so install rollback to get it working again.

Once the Honeycomb is realeased, we can only count on you Dexter! A lot of us is relying on your excellent job in reviving this stupid product from Toshiba!

[Folio 100 Android Development] Kervala:
And Nvidia doesn't release its blobs directly :( I fear once no new Tegra 2 products will be released, we won't be able to update our tablet :s

According to this post in the Folio section at Toshibas forum there should be a new official image released by Toshiba today that supports Flash.

This actually seems to correspond well with an article I read yesterday that said that the Flash Player for the Folio was now certified by Adobe.

toshiba update 18-feb-2011 (information)

I can see now, that a util "eUpdate" is included, a similar tool is found with Vega and Viewsonic Gtab, which should be able to calibrate your touchscreen, but this utility we can have in our regular mod as well.

it might actually update more than calibration, but binary content look pretty similar..

ill update this post with findings.

the zip file is signed by toshiba now: Android@pcs.pc.ome.toshiba.co.jp

they used a new updater

Flash-player: the new flashplayer is actually just the one i posted some days ago, v10.1.120.10 , from Advent Vega..

i think the misunderstand is: Is licensed for Tegra2 tablets cpu's now, not Toshiba specific license :-)

so if its worse as others posted, then you already how the update feels like..

as the new display driver breaks support for custom kernels, we lost 3G,CIFS and other fixes here..
