[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SilkBC:
I am having the same issue (cannot boot to tri-colour screen) and downloaded the ROM above, but I do not know how to flash it? I can get into MAGLDR (v1.12). Where do I go from there? I assume I will need the ROM on the SDCard?

I have tried flashing an Android NAND ROM from it and it says it was successful, but it still boots the Windows ROM that is installed :-(

Help! :-)

-SilkBC

** UPDATE ** I have since been able to flash the above WP7 ROM and unfortunately I still cannot get into the bootloader. I also have had no luck in flashing Android ROMs from the SD Card :-(

why don't you try flashing magldr 1.13 or even using the hd2 toolkit,best program out there and does EVERYTHING FOR YOU,everything you need is all on 1 screen,very very easy to use,can't rate it highly enough

A browser designed specifically for larger touch screens could indeed make a difference. Currently, browsers with touch interfaces work pretty much the same on mobile phones as they do on tablets.

The Opera browser for tablets hasn't been released yet. It's only been talked about, and shown in a very short youtube video.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
It's suppose to be out soon:

http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2011/01/03/

There was a beta awhile ago, but it didn't support Flash integration.

Firefox also has a beta, but, at least when I tried it, it didn't support Flash yet.

So i have a rooted Samsung Continuum, And i want to change my boot screen and since i dont have a recovery option right now i cant flash anything.

So i have to place the boot animation zip on the phone, Well heres the problem i cant find where im suppose to place the file?? Any help would be great.
[Continuum Themes and Apps] trailblazer101:
Yeah, i tried doing the same...

But i learned the hard way that you need to have a kernel installed on your phone that supports changing the bootscreen.. Which continuum users do not have yet.. What we need is Clockwork, which there is development going on to get it :) So, soon :)
[Continuum Themes and Apps] CrazyKnight122:
Ahh ok

Looking around i did find bootsamsung.qmg

and bootsamsungloop.qmg

No idea what those are lol.

[Continuum Themes and Apps] midgetgrimm:
Just looking at the /system dump files, they are .qmg files. Which I know nothing about, I was also hoping it was just a .zip file in the system media folder. I guess if you find a way to read the .qmg file, and create a new one once you dissect the old one.

Just woundering when a new phone comes out how long does it normally take for modes to start poping up I am new to the Droid phones and was just woundering
[Continuum Themes and Apps] CrazyKnight122:
Well not many people have this phone so there isnt much right now, There is a dev getting one of these phones so hopefully in a couple weeks maybe longer we should have some cool stuff.

Just a matter of waiting.
[Continuum Themes and Apps] dfgged:
Well, the Continuum has been very odd about that... Most phones that are going to get pretty big communities, get them pretty quickly. It really is just a matter of being patient and not having devs rush things.

[Galaxy Tab General] garytc:
Hello All,

I own a Rogers version of the Samsung i900M series Galaxy Tab. It was originally flashed to use European PDA and the Bell Modem for wireless radio access. Things worked fine until I decided to re-flash to more recent firmware

P1000XXJM6. The flash seemed successful and the unit rebooted to another download screen, waited for another reboot but nothing, so unplugged it and reset. When reset, it comes up with opening Samsung screen, then with the words SAMSUNG which flash forever in a loop with 1 vibrate, then a dual vibrate, then repeats. Have tried re-flashing to other firmwares with similar results. Also, reset the unit with vol + and pwr and cleared cache, cleared all data and factory reset.

Quite stuck with this one, can anyone offer any assistance / advice on this?

Thank You in Advance !

[Folio 100 General] TiagoSilva:
Hi,

I've being watching all the developments about the emerging tablets and I must say that all Tegra 250 devices look very interesting, although Toshiba Folio 100 already has PCB pads to add more ram... I am sure that Toshiba will add more 500Mb ram on the next Folio to give a better android 2.3 support.

Anyway, here's my question: how can I, or anyone else, recompile the Linux android kernel for Tegra 250 and place it in the FolioMod, well, I'm asking this because I remembered that these tablets are excellent for one thing that many are forgetting...

To watch digital television from a USB TV pen, well, the device has USB host support, it has Linux to manage the devices attached... What else is need ? Video 4 Linux... This is kernel built-in... So, how can I recompile the kernel to add this and other desktop usual features ? Any cons ?

Cheers.
[Folio 100 General] metuskale:
I am interested in too, if you make any advance let me know; I am really interested in this!!!!
[Folio 100 General] weeds2000:
The process is quite straightforward.

Get the kernel source here: http://tegramid.com/wiki/Main_Page

- unzip the source and cd into the source directory

Get the current kernel config from your device:

adb pull /proc/config.gz

Unpack and rename the config file

gunzip config.gz
mv config .config

Adjust the config to your needs.

Now you need the an gcc to compile for arm, the easiest way is to checkout the android source repository (read source.android.com for instructions, actually you would only need the prebuilt toolchain)

Now add the compiler to your path environment variable

export PATH=<android-source-dir>/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/:$PATH

now you can build the kernel using

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

Now you need to repack and flash your new kernel to the device.

An excellent article on how to prepare a new boot.img can be found here:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

After that simply create an update.zip and flash using recovery.

Note, AFAIK v4l support is already included in the current FolioMod kernel.
[Folio 100 General] metuskale:
WOW

Really thanks, I will try asap!!
[Folio 100 General] weeds2000:
Btw according to dmesg output kernel commandline should be:

mem=448M@0M nvmem=64M@448M vmalloc=192M video=tegrafb console=ttyS0,115200n8 usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 tegraboot=sdmmc tegrapart=recovery:122000:a00:800,linux:a0e00:1000:800,loader:300:400:800,mbr:700:200:800,system:900:20000:800,cache:20900:80000:800,misc:a0900:400:800,userdata:a1f00:80000:800 boardtype=PR
[Folio 100 General] TiagoSilva:
weeds2000:

So, the kernel is the common Android Tegra 250, have you tried this already ?

I though this could be the thing to do, but I also thought that Toshiba had pulled a fast one by customizing the Android Tegra 250 kernel...

Hum... If this is so, I will buy an Toshiba Folio 100 lol... I hope to add many thing to the kernel... as a programmer I would love to have USB-RS232 adapters too eh eh eh... New horizons then!

I was also thinking, if not this device, the Viewsonic Viewpad 10, that has a BIOS and an Atom, an x86 architecture then, would be much easier to recompile...
[Folio 100 General] weeds2000:
It has some modifications ore extra modules.

Compiling the default kernel from the froyo-tegra tree from nvidia failed (not sure what exactly was missing, display simply switched off and it seems there was a kernel panic somewhere)

But yes compiling the kernel from the sources given at the wiki works. I'm running a slightly modified kernel at the moment compiled using the steps given above.
[Folio 100 General] TiagoSilva:
weeds2000:

Its common on embedded devices like most Android devices... The best thing invented is the BIOS lol... Without one, we must hard-code the kernel to map the resources to the specific hardware...

Do you recommend buying a Toshiba Folio 100 ?

Anyway, what modifications have you done (just curious) ?
[Folio 100 General] weeds2000:
I would recommend the Folio to someone that can do some modding and is able to flash custom roms to the device.

Before FolioMod the device was pretty much useless to me, but with the modifications done by dexter and the rest of us, it turned out to be a pretty good device.

However I would not order it blind because of the display. Compared to, for example the Galaxy Tab, you can clearly see why the device is that cheap. Viewing angle is really not good on this, so you may want to take a look at a store or something if this bother you or not (it's OK for me though).

Kernel modifications where

- mouse driver (to fix the bug introduced by the rotation fix, without success up to now)

- playing around with the kernel hacking options to get some performance. turning them off however prevent the wifi module to load

- adding utf8 NLS support to the kernel (also this is the default, as this is required to mount NTFS partitions with utf8 support, otherwise some files where missing or have bad encoding and could not be opend by mediaplayer/reader/whatever.
[Folio 100 General] TiagoSilva:
When you do the make config, in the kernel options menu do you recall seeing the video4linux ?

I'm guessing that the tablet only needs that included on the built kernel to fire up TV watching programs, the idea is to load a USB digital TV device and run any Linux TV programs. Not going to MythTV because it might have too many dependencies... and not all libraries are available to ARM...

The view angle doesn't bother me that much, as long as the screen image is flawless eh eh eh, its a media tablet, so, it should be anyway...

One more thing, that key combination to flash the device comes already from factory right? I recall seeing a similar combination on the NVidea Tegra 250 development board. Or does it need the Dexter flasher too ?

I'm new to tablets as you can see lol and I'm seeing lots of tasty looking tablets... I want one that I can use for hack in my (I wish) free time, I guess its just like most people here lol.

The Viewpad 10 is about the same price, has x86 (single core tho) and more 500MB ram and ... a BIOS ... But has pros and cons... damn why can't we have it all... I guess I will try to see some in my hands first. iPad looks great, but lacks connectivity and Apple wants money for a developer membership lol... Android is incredibly but the vendors are crooks that embed the kernel with the hardware instead of adding a BIOS... Windows Mobile is... to limited and simple to use, no console... bah... Is there was one for free I would pick that one, but they all have similar prices... The reviews show that all have pros and cons... oh well...
[Folio 100 General] TiagoSilva:
Whoa, CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER and CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_SIMPLE on from default ?! Also V4L ?!?! what is going on here?! Is Toshiba thinking about making an docking station with a TV Tuner in it and a custom software to watch TV ?!

Edit: I was dreaming awake... I didn't noticed that you were writing about FolioMod kernel... But it would be fun if they did had added these features...

I used mythTV as an example LOL It has too much dependencies... I could try to get all the dependencies for ARM... or compile some for ARM... but it would take lots of time... TVTime looks better for Android, I'm off to see a real Folio 100 on my hands, I have lots of doubts LOL...

It also seems that radio was not forgotten, CONFIG_RADIO_ADAPTERS on... also a possible digital audio broadcast support... hum...

It could be fun if I or someone managed to get a TV Tunner on Folio, TV on camping, TV on the bed, TV everywhere !

The Android kernel seems to have fewer drivers tho... a pity...

Howto - creating a boot.img with new kernel

Note: I wrote a small guide how to repack boot.img when you have your new compiled kernel (based on http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images but modified for folio). I also included modified perl scripts and binary files needed under linux (ubuntu 10.10) for that (no need to compile tools from sdk).

This is quite interesting topic you are discussing here.....

Can you pls gather the information abt the kernel compilation as well as image assembly so others can experiment too ?

What are chances to brick the device during tests ?

Being a linux user for some time I would be very happy to have something like

- either a custom kernel for android for playing

- or linux distribution to run on the device (as Archos 5 IT have dual boot with Linux for example)

perhaps we can gather up to produce something like it for our device ????

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidwashg1:
in my tests, yes, the 2708 kernels consume significantly more battery. when i tried running the 2708 kernel with froyo roms (cyanogen 6.1, biffmod 2.1, sparksmod 1.6.1), i did see a noticeable improvement in performance. but there's still a lot of sluggishness when multitasking. so I went back to donut roms and tried the 2708 kernels. crazy fast lightning speed! but battery life is still crap. im looking for solutions to this right now as well
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d12unk13astard:
The 2708 radio is worse on battery imho compared to 2825. I get very respectable battery life on sparksmod 1.6.3 using 2825 and pershoots newest 26.35.10 kernal.

It may increase your phone size two fold but I got a 2400mah battery and back cover.

I'm now running "froyo for trout" with 2708 kernel, I get about a day and a bit out of it easily. And its lightning quick.

BUT... if I leave my wifi on I can bearly acheive half a day battery life.

Hopefully a slightly modified more energy efficient 2708 will be released.

[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
if you don't want facebook contacts in the people hub, goto settings > applications (pivot) > people.

scroll down to "include facebook friends as contacts" and select "only add facebook information to existing contacts.

this way, when you look at people hub, it will only work when you have linked them to an actual contact. when you create new contacts, the whole list will be there, but that's a good thing as you can create a new contact to an existing facebook.
