[Folio 100 Android Development] olipheus:
As long as the custom recovery flashes like it should there should be no problem in flashing the ROM, like I said.

To get it back to the original state after you've flashed FolioMod you have to flash the Folio stock image. Doing a factory reset after you've flashed FolioMod will just wipe your settings and personal data.

My guess is that it's no problem with a newer kernel, since the kernel shouldn't prevent you from flashing the custom recovery. But it's just a guess. I'm merely a enthusiast of custom roms, and absolutely not a dev.

Hope I cleared things up.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there any way to raise the priority of a thread or process. This may look stupid, but i think i could help to fix the unresponsiviness issue.

Best Regards,

Bastos
[Folio 100 Android Development] diman87:
Yeah, this would be great.. maximum priority for the current full-screen app. played a game, while email were syncing in the background, I got 1-2 fps... terrible for jump&run games...

Also, is there a possibility to activate the second core? Or is it already activated in v1.2 (which I've just flashed)?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
small improvement seen, but ill enable it in v1.3 which i hope to release in the weekend, definately not tomorrow or friday :-)
[Folio 100 Android Development] bastospn:
The small improvement you refer is must like due to lack of software support. I guess that most apps must be rewritten to take advantage of a seconde core, but first of all we need a improved OS. A few years ago it will be unthinkable. The one think i refer is prioritization of certain threads and process. I don't know much how android do it, but it should be possible to mark some threads with a higer priority, or even real time.

One of the thinks i notice when comparing Android with iOS is that apple applications responde must faster if they are in the foreground.

Regards,

bastospn

another thing, I've used v1.2 for a time now, and opera doesn't work anymore, when i open it it just closes by itself. Also angry birds don't work anymore, and a couple other programs seem to be unistalled in some or other way. don't have got a proces crash message.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
i've done some "benchmarking" using quake3droid. the fps is stable (i guess it's vsynced) at 52-53 fps at all times. but every 10-15 seconds it drops down to 4-5 fps for a second. i guess this has to do with background processes getting too high priorities. i'm pretty sure this is an android issue though. and from what i've heard 2.3 is supposed to handle stuff better. i guess we'll just wait and see =)

[Folio 100 Android Development] Trumpfz:
OK, I check 1.2 now as 1.1b suddenly became very laggy. It worked fine the last week, but just today it's unbelievable laggy, even after turning off and on again.

hmm.. updating.

I want to clean it really completely before updating.

So what is the way to do ?

Power on + Vol up, then choose vol up to do factory reset or system update, then vol down to do a factory reset ??

..or am I supposed to press Vol up to do a system update without sdcard inserted, press HOME then in the Menu with the ! i choose "wipe data/factory reset" ??

Which way is better, or isn't there any difference. I'm just extremely careful as I would hate to brick my tablet... if this is possible ?

What does "wipe cache partition" mean ?

Anyone can explain which way is better ?

I'm just extra extra careful

What happened the last 2 days ?

2 days ago the Folio was fast. I'm running 1.1b. I had no lags, Touchscreen was working perfectly. No lag ever. Yesterday I didn't touch it and now today it's totally crap. Touchscreen only reacts few seconds before it's doing nothing for 20 seconds. The screen is just totally slow.

Did Toshiba inject some faulty update over the air or what could have happened ??

Anyone else noticed this ? I can't explain. Haven't installed anything.. except FolioWidget which I already uninstalled again.
[Folio 100 Android Development] sub691:
Having the same problem. Yesterday I purchased my folio. After a initial setup I updated the OS via the Toshiba Update utility. After it the Options/Menu button is "always pressed". Tried to install FolioMod 1.2 to resolve this issue, but after the update my folio is stacked in infinite loop of android welcome screen (all the buttons despite of the option button are blinking) . Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
the one easy way of your verification process can be this command.

cat boot.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

this writes the boot.img to p5 where regular boot is located.. you can always use recovery to revert it back if it does not boot, so dont worry! but of course writing to something wrong like p1 etc, can go really bad and may brick it.

FolioTntMod arrives

I decided to name this variant

FolioTntMod

as it has no Toshiba framework or toshiba related apps..

So i found the new 1.1338 from Malata/Tnt (also called G tablet).. and it has a nice userinterface + settings...

they got external sdcard + usb stick support now.. but no dock or and no Bluetooth stack support for mouse/keyboard(still crashes BT)..

news are that i made an image for it, and will post later today..

its very similar to the old 0.2 edition with Nvidia framework, and it has paid apps support.

no speed difference (g tablet has nand memory, we got ssd , so quadrant score differ on this part)

i gave it Gapps + superuser and fixed sdcard handling...

its quite ok for a release, and now you can actually see when Media scanner is running :-) It got other features, but havent checked..

im posting a new thread on this mod, as it relate more to the old 0.2 edition..

thanks a lot for the mod - it makes folio work as it must.

however, i got a couple problems. Basically they are here and there - small glitches.

for example now my folio wakes up by itself - you press shut down button, screen is off, but after a couple of minutes it wakes up and screen turns on...

any ideas how to fix this?

I installed FolioWidget few days ago on 1.1b and since then it seems that my Touchscreen isn't as responsive anymore as it has been before.

I did a factory reset, removed battery, installed FolioTNTMod, but screen stays unresponsive.

Is that possible ? Any solution to go back to default in case the FolioWidget changed any settings ?

Earlier I could just hover above the screen to press a key, now I have to hammer on the screen and it hardly works.

Hi Dexter,

I originally had 1.1 and it was working GREAT. i've updated to 1.2, laggs everywhere, so wanted to go back to 1.1. lagging continued, even after wiping cache/data and re-flashing the rom...

The CPU is on 55% first 15 minutes, then goes back to ca. 12%. Opening drawer in launcher pro laggs terribly, especially when switching from a task (market -> home -> open drawer)... Do you have an idea what's wrong???

I'm installing FolioTntMod now.. to test how it works.

Thank you!

[Folio 100 Android Development] Trumpfz:
pretty much same here, although lagging started suddenly with 1.1b. Installing FolioTnTMod didn't fix it for me.

All I did was installing FolioWidget... run it once and pretty much since then I get some lagging.. no idea if this caused it.
[Folio 100 Android Development] kepler1982:
these issues have been adressed in this thread earlier. we believe the sd-card driver is responsible, and it's the same on all versions. even stock rom i believe. and no, there is no fix at the moment. (except for totally disabling internal storage, but that's not very practical :p)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
some actually suggested replacing internal ext3 formatted /data storage with ext4 , which our new kernel support.. but if it increase performance is still to be tested..

it needs to be prep'd at bootup and recovery does not support ext4 either, so i have to make some solution to have a proper recovery working with ext4..

if we can get clockworkmod working, this could probably fix the issues, if it helps.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Trumpfz:
I definately had no lag with 1.1b or before as I got it now.

It just suddenly started after I installed few games and the FolioWidget which I didn't use before.

The widget can't change some default settings when it gets installed ??
[Folio 100 Android Development] andrey_zi:
i don't know why, but I always get some problems with Folio on this mod.

I mean if you just install it and use clean, it's fine.

But as soon as you start really using it with downloading apps, etc. it gets problems.

Now I always have to reboot it as after some time it freezes and starts telling me that Launcher is not responding or something similar.

:(

I'm not such a good expert, of course, but I have an Acer Liquid - I updated my system a lot there with various community mods and they always worked fine for me, no such glitches. I'm afraid Folio is not really ready for the market yet...

--------------

just made factory reset, installed a couple apps. Now my Folio has started to tell "FolioMod has been granted Superuser permission". And it freezes. Anyone knows how to avoid this? Tnx. (I think it's because of Folio Widget that I gave a try, trying to uninstall it)

----

another update - I performed full system update for Foliomod 1.2.

this time it went a bit different as I didn't have to perform factory reset right after it to get it working.

i'm now very careful with apps, i installed only those i really needed. So far so good... no freezes... (fingers crossed)

Did anyone manage to run Skype app on folio? For me it just closes when I try to log in....
