found this thread in the XOOM area.
as it has a much wider public forum, it seems they move alot faster on that front but as long as we're on XDA, and sharing is important, the files needed to change the kernel, is included, so those capable of compiling the kernel, can implement this patch?
here is the link to the thread
i will look at it the next days, but i don't know if i can fix it, but lets see..
at least now we know its possible
Sounds cool, but after a long angry birds session or watching a flash video online, my tablet gets quite warm already, I wonder what the increased heat from that extra ½ GHz will do to the components in the long run.
I guess you could use the extra power on-demand though.
This looks very interesting. I'll follow the progress. Since you're in the Xoom-area of XDA, what's the ETA on Honeycomb on the Folio?
Btw, you´re the man Dexter. Without you the Folio-development would be stone dead.
This is interesting as a possible capability, but what is the need ?
Just to demonstrate it is possible and that is all ?
IMHO I would focus on eliminating the bugs and developing more stable custom roms, on either existing froyo or incoming honeycomb
Still quite pissed off with folio sudden crashes/hangs ups and hoping this is not hardware issue....
No offend people
Ready to test the roms as long as rollback to previous or stock firmware possible

if a company of 10000+ employees is incapable of fixing the issue, im not really sure anyone has the time or full awareness of the complexitity of the problems in folio100.. so lets agree its a hardware fault until solved..
In my experience, in such companies it is sometime LOT more difficult to get a proper person employed to do the job, cause they are like big whales in respect of making a fast and sharp move and doing simple changes becomes not so simple for them in this case.....
Otherwise you(or someone from XDA) should have already be working as a lead tester/developer for Toshiba at least remotely or part time....am I wrong
btw, is there a e-mail or public forum for Toshiba with at least someone from toshiba android development team appearing and answering questions ?
what e-mail address can be used for that ?
Apologize for offtop

we got it .. but its not compatible in any way for now..
wrong dalvik (we got API 8, needs API 10), wrong kernel, no library support and no hardware drivers adapted...
apps natively written for api10 for now, and no deodex options available..
so...it will take time before we see a working 3.0 ..
for now, we utilize their findings and see if it helps us on other tegra2 platforms..
We will be fine with 2.X for a while... The important thing in my perspective is to have the apps running. Android 3.0 is still in it's early days, and will see a lot more improvements in the future.
I still believe that the important thing is content, not android version "per si"

I'm agree but some news from web: "Toshiba is preparing a new comeback, hoping, this time, to register more success. The new Toshiba Folio 100 tablet’s release date is set for March 2011, in United Kingdom. It will still feature Android 3.0 and will not give access to the Android market."
so maybe honeycomb is not so far...

Its the new folio they talk about, right? The one with both front and rear camera?,,,,,

Kanske, men det stod faktiskt Folio 100. Den nya Folion skall väl heta 200 eller något helt annat och varför skulle den inte ha gapps ?
Vore förstås härligt om de släppte om 100an med 3.0 som vi kan använda.
Possibly, but it did say Folio 100. The new Folio is supposed to be 200 or some unrelated name and why should it not have gapps ?
Would be lovely if the rereleased the 100 with Honeycomb and it worked with our machine !
Folio100 does not fullfill then android 3.0 requirements. for front/rear camera, 1200x800 resolution and modem.
Folio200 will have all that, but if UK articles, poorly written, do write still remain without somewhere they got that story? since the 200 edition WILL have it all.
i don't think Nvidia releases another SDK without full "Android experience" support to vendors of hardware designs. so its likely to be an internal thing, that toshiba somehow got it working, If they did, that is.

That's some good news, but just one question, why is it Folio 100? Shouldn't it be Folio 200?
Last time I heard that Folio 100 will be back it was still 2.2 Froyo and not 3.0.
I'm so sadly to hear of that!
On Topic: Folio got OC upgrade to 1.5 GHz (see kernel dev thread).
Hallo, any chance to have Android 3.1 on Folio in future?
Thank you.

that may be possible with some effort of programmers
i think folionotion with latest honeycomb would be great
and thaks a lot to all folio 100 programmers life would be horrible without them

Not to mention the Folio would be close to useless without them.
i am talking about custom ROM of course,
now we have honeycomb 3.0 but this android is already old and dead.
Im not sure you understand the work that has to be done. Not to mention that Dexter, the main developer on the 3.0 rom has stoped work on the folio. So if no one picks up where he left off there is not going to be any 3.1.
So as things stand, i dont think there will be any 3.1 rom for the folio...

Agreed. It is with much regret and sadness that Dexter has 'discontinued' development on ALL his efforts. Not entirely sure what's the whole story here. Now I'm starting to regret purchasing a tablet so soon.

Got my Folio in august last year, it was a rough ride but a fun one.
Got an ASUS Transformer with keyboard a few days ago. The machine is a bit boring since everything just works
Anyway, Android 3.1 on the Folio. The new Toshiba (Trive) seems to have almost identical specs compared with the Folio. Its possible it has a different platform (Ventana?) but it looks like it has the same ports and others specs. What more it even has the SOD problem the Folio has...
I have lost ALL belief in Toshiba by the way they treated us with the Folio. I used to recommend people to buy Toshiba stuff but no longer. And finding out the Trive has the same problem as the Folio, sigh.
ASUS has released several updates to both the tablet and the keyboard, they are working with Android 3.2 and they participate in forms and seems to listen to their customers. Their machines may not be perfect but they seem to care for the customer.
Keeping my Folio for the time being and hope (though hope has diminished) for
someone to continue the honeycomb development.
Hello,
Got my G-Tablet a few days back and right now I'm using GtabComb 3.3 but I was wondering if anyone was working on porting over Vegacomb 3.2 to the G-Tablet (since they use the same platform). Also how did they get hardware acceleration working on it?

Not that anyone has announced. You would have to ask the 2 Vega teams that combine their work how they did it. There is a group over at Slatedroid that is in the beginning stages of trying to port the Adam .36 HC kernel to the gTab. All current gTab roms are using .32 kernels (FroYo/GB).
The Vega, like the Adam are kind of more like cousins, some of the same dna but not quite the same.

Ah Ok thanks for clearing that up ill go and ask them but I'm curious does that new kernel build have any sort of hardware acceleration?

The Adam kernel that they are trying to port from did. Hopefully people with the necessary skills will contribute to get it done.
I saw that HP's webOS is open source now. Do you think there is a developer who could port this to our devices?

WebOS has been Open Source for a while now, sadly, not many developers seemed to jump on the idea of adapting it for use on Android phones/tablets. As cool as it would be to see WebOS/Android dualboots on phones and tablets (other than the HP Touchpad that is) I don't see it happening in the near future.

No, the Community Edition of WebOS has been, but that was only some components and it was geared toward the HP Touchpad's hardware. Open WebOS is what was needed before serious porting could begin.
I'd LOVE to see this, even if it doesn't become a daily driver. Before I bought the Atrix, I thought my first smartphone would end up being the canceled Pre 3 so I'd be very interested in seeing what could have been.
I have a great deal on a Toshiba AT300 at hand, brand new at just above half the retail price, but the internet told me it cannot be rootet yet . It's not a bit problem right now, but at some point it will be. One awesome thing to do with 1 gb RAM and a quadcore CPU is a chrooted Linux installation. Also, i don't want a device thats going to be obsolete because the community can't keep it updated and the company that build it in the first place rather wants to sell me a new one instead of providing upgrades for existing products.
So what are the odds that it will still be locked down in a year or so? What about other devices with locked bootloaders and similar market share, are they eventually broken, or should i just buy a more "mainstream" tablet with more active developers?
(Also, is this the right sub-forum to ask this qurestion?)
Anyone?

would be nice for someone to take it on in here and forum started for the AT300
finally installing the JB update now
As this device has a limited audience I would not hold out hope. Many things will come into play here. The OEM will only update it has long as they HAVE to. You will not fund many if any custom ROMs for is here as it is not a great developer device due to the issue stated above.

Hello,
Any update on rooting the AT300?
Thanks
4 years have passed, any news regarding the root for this device?
