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.

How many users would be interested in Android

I have been messing with android on my blackstone for a while now and would love to run it on my athena, I have a copy of 1.0 android that boots that was posted ages ago on here, and have tried to no avail to boot a later version either 1.5 or 2.0.1.
I feel that its pretty close but need someone with some linux/android experience as I think the problem lies in the initrd file.
With this is mind if there is enough interested I would like to see how many people would be willing to donate to a developer/developers to get this running on the athena?
I have seen bounty threads before and they seem to work, so post if you interested in donating to the cause.
What about perfectng the wm6.5 ROM along side the Android for takers?
Thanks mate.
in all honesty i have a x7500 im actually going to sell my iphone and get a x7510 just to have them both .. if im gonna get rid of an iphone i dont think i'd be going to an android
i too am very excited about this as have android 2.1 working on Blackstone so you would like to see it om here. i am not a dev in that sense but i am happy to contribute in any way.........cash not a problem
By the looks of it not many people want android for athena? for anyone who does bear with me as I am spending a huge amount of time behind the scenes working on trying to port 2.0.1 with some help from some experts
Would find Android an interesting idea
Hello avergerpenguin,
Would be very interested in seeing this happen, I have been keeping an eye on your work for WM 6.5 but not yet had time to try flashing one of the roms but if your work on there is anything to go by then I'm sure this will be good. Is this going to be full rom for the phone or run as an app over the top of win mobile?

At present it is not possible to run android without winmo, however mitchy has created a rom for diamond that only loads the drivers etc needed and then autoloads android meaning that you cant get to the winmo underneath.
But firstly I need to compile a working android kernel, see what does and doesnt work and then go from there and possibly create a android only rom, but depends on functionality
I am in avengerpenguin
Id love it on the x7510
Android on Athena
I would love to have Android on my Athena, or even Maemo5
Hey Avengerpenguin, I am VERY VERY interested in Andriod on my Athena. I would love it. I am happy to make a donation to help this along if there is a real chance of us getting it going. I wish I knew how to develop so I could help out that way, too.
New Advantage user also interested in Android. I flipped my mytouch to pick up a G1 to use Android and an Advantage for everything else!
Looks like we're preparing to declare against the new dell mini 5 tablet. Its neat to see how ahead of their time these athenas really were.
Also interested in Android on Athena
Now that it looks like WinMo is a dying OS (no new versions after 6.5), I'm also interested in Android.
The new Windows Phone 7 isn't going to be based on WinMo, so I have nothing to gain by staying with Micro$oft software.
Would love to avoid buying a new phone for as long as possible. The Athena has everything I need in it; all I'd have to do is obtain new programs, which I'll have to do anyway.
I am late to the party, but ya, android would be awesome to have. I still have my athena kicking around, and would love to really use it again.
Very interest in Android
Please do this. Thanks for all your work
I'm 100% looking forward to using my Athena again if Android 2.1 can be made to work. It's a sensible OS moving forward given that wm6.5 is towards the end of its life cycle.
Cheers.

Hi Jay,
I went off and bought a Touch HD. Sold it and got a 3G, followed by a 3gs. Hence the absence. But I still have my Athena with an almost dead battary though. Each time I turn it on I'm always attracted by it's hugh and beautiful screen. Somehow I find myself unenthusiatic about using winmo applications again after using iPhone, sorry to say. That's why I hope to see Android on it. It would really Be an awesome device once again I reckon if that's done.
BTW, which is the newest and most popular ROM you guys are using these days? Might try it out for fun before Android is available for my Athena.
Cheers and good to be home.

Me personally, I have been using Lennie's 6.5 rom. I have not liked 6.5 at all before Lennie had his latest V3.00 out, and now I quite like it. I would still say that 6.1 has the edge for ease of use and speed, but Lennie's latest offering is much improved on speed and looks. We dont have many cooks left on here now, so people seem to be trying out some of the old stuff again. We seem to be getting posts from roms way-way back now. I have a G1 myself now, and very good they are to. I do like to keep up with the WM stuff still.

Folio maybe getting an OC upgrade to 1.5Ghz

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...

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).

[WIP][ROM] Honeycomb 3.2 sdk port

Hey guys, So I made an attempt to port 3.2 sdk to nook and i had a minor success with it.
Basically i have used Divine-Madcat's modifications from 3.0 sdk with 3.2 sdk image from Google, and after a very few changes it worked!!
But there are a lot of problems right now, for ex-
It takes a lot of time to load up and screen remains blank unless i use power button,
Display just goes blank randomly but comes back on using power button,
Android seems to take touch input as a mouse input and displays a round pointer,
laggy as hell(sometimes, randomly it goes smooth), probably displays one frame per second, and usually hangs up after a minute of use.
Wifi-not working
sd-card- not working
This is in no way usable right now, but i am posting the zip file anyway, hoping that someone will come out of no-where and help me fix this(thinking of this as an opportunity to learn)
So try it if you are feeling adventurous and want to fix things up.
Format data before u proceed.
DO NOT FORMAT BOOT.
MEDIAFIRE LINK
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for what happens to your nook, if you decide to flash this zip(though it likely won't do any damage).
reserved for future
Good luck to you, kind sir.
Looks good, but not even close to daily driver. Screenies?
None of the SDKs, including my own, are daily drivers. Until we can compile code, they will never be daily drivers.
Well, your SDK 11 port is pretty functional, just a little graphics lag.

Yes, it booted, but by no means was it a driver. It wasn't just graphics lag, it was overall lag. hardware acceleration was a no go... Look, it was fun to play with, but never a driver.
Unless deeper blue comes in with something (not saying he can), these will always be experiments; there is just too much code that needs to be compiled for our device for it to really work...
If you say so.

Well you are right, this pretty much is an experiment and its a good way for me to learn things, but u never know maybe someone will get their hands on that latest driver, or maybe someone will figure a workaround, those guys at notion ink Adam have a very good honeycomb port which people use as a daily driver.
Progress is progress. At the same time, I'm starting to feel like we're hitting a brick wall without any type of hardware acceleration. The SDK ports themselves usually run next to fine functionality wise, but the lack of hardware acceleration means that virtually all of honeycomb is unstable without massive tweaking.

That isn't too surprising, since the hardware is the same as every other tablet (Tegra2), and most of the acceleration should work without needing a recompile. On the other hand, we have to use the SDK code, which is compiled very generically, and we don't have that luxury.

Of course.
I still really appreciate the random efforts at a Honeycomb ports - it's unfortunate there isn't a larger Honeycomb dev community looking at this device, but at the same time completely understandable when you read the struggles of DB, DMC, etc., and the relatively dim outlook without a proper 3.0/.1/.2 source release.
For a long time I just thought it'd be a matter of time and folks would be right back at it - but now that it's taking a long while, there's real concern that if/when a proper source is released, will people still be interested in developing for the NC?
So yeah - I appreciate seeing any efforts pop up. It reminds me people are trying, and that's awesome.
CM based roms work just fine - but there's something decidedly underwhelming about the 2.x experience on a tablet.
arrjaytea -
I could guarantee, with the AOSP code, the nook would be an even neater device. Frankly, assuming we dont lose a dev base, i see great things for our device when ICS hits. As it is, from everything i have heard form our CM7 brethren, CM7's efforts are not for waste; many lessons and fixes learned here will help future efforts..
Assuming el goog keeps their word, the nook is still living the high life.
I really hope the current devs stick around long enough to dev a great ICS rom. I cannot wait for that at all. Finally, a proper HC-"based" rom for it.
In my opinion we let Google get to big by adopting their "free" services. They are as evil as Microsoft was/is in my eyes now. Not releasing code that they basically said would be open and public until it is "end of life" goes against the foundation of what android was supposed to be about. They are like Walmart in that they undercut the little guy to drive them under and then piss on us. Had it not been for android, alot of us would probably be running Openmoko on our phones and maybe tablets. Flames away

If they release the code, there's a chance that the Android brand will be further fragmented and destroyed by improper use of it. Blame the Chineese tablet makers for stuffing 1.6 on tablets, that's what this is a result of.

After working a lot more with honeycomb port, i think i am happy that a lot more developers are actually working on cm7 than on honeycomb ports, these ports are a good way to try honeycomb on nook and have a little fun but, i don't think that even if we solve the video drivers issue honeycomb sdk could be used as a daily driver. The problems are just too much and the amount of tweaking it would require to get a good usable rom would not be worth it. Even functionality wise, sdk's have lots of problem. As for when source it released i think we will get at least one more CM port simply because the no of nook owners is just a lot right now.

That's the inherent risk involved in adopting the open source model. You have a chance of fragmentation because you have so many manufacturers developing device or brand specific code and you have many developers developing codes specific to their roms, but what some see as fragmentation others see as variety, accessibility, and community driven problem solving. Android is probably on twice as many devices as Apples iOS. In my opinion a little fragmentation is worth the price.
I am disappointed that Google didn't release the source code. Anybody who has the ability to do some crazy like run honeycomb on their G1 phone or any other phone for that matter should be prepared for an experimental experience.
As for manufactures the Chinese putting Donut on their tablets--perhaps would have been easier for them to put Honeycomb on it if Google would have released the source codes. A lot of us are running phone OSes on our tablet albeit most of us are running Gingerbread on our Nook colors, but it would be nice to get a tablet OS like Honeycomb. Ice Cream Sandwich is suppose to be a Q4 release, but we'll see if that still happens. At least their is some hope. Just my humble 2 cents.

[Q] WebOS now Open Source

If a webos port was made for your Galaxy SII, would you at try it out? Whats everyone's thoughts?
I don't know about others but I, for me will be excited and undoubtedly I'll want this on my GSII, it will be a pleasure.
Thanks for the link anyway.
Sure
Would be cool to try WebOS at SGS II =)
I think it doesn't have much chance against Android.

I see it not so much as a competition, but more as something that would compliment my phone. Primarily android, with webos on the side.
But I agree that it would be cool to try it nonetheless.
I would probably flash it out of curiosity but ultimately ill no doubt always stick with Android unless they do the unthinkable and become "closed" like IOS but i cant see that ever happening.
of course I want it in my phone. Also, could the devs port the code to android to make it faster/better/whatever?

Didn't HTC or Samsung (can't remember who) get full licensing permissions on WebOS? lol well that's useful now.
If it was me, yes I definitely would! Like with the HD2, I tried WM 6.5, WP7 and Android, but ultimately had to go back to Android.
= What are you even doing asking whether or not you should root your phone on XDA?! =
What we have here is HP finding a cheap way to support it's WebOS devices.
I'd sure as hell try it out. The UI is fantastic and would probably fly on the SGS2. Probably would have to steal some drivers from Android but since they're both linux-based it shouldn't be too difficult.
Although I'm guessing most of the devs are involved with ics at the moment...

Hey Skellyyy, just out of curiosity, what made you stick with Android over WP7? I have not had any WP7 device yet, but it looks attracting.
I would LOVE this...i got a Pre on day one and loved WebOS...i would have stayed, but lack of solid hardware and an extremely small dev crew to get things going. if we could even get a WebOS launcher on top of android, that would be amazing!
i truly hope they get this going on our SGSII's.....i'd pay good cash for this!!
EDit - Any dev who decides to take this on, consider my SGSII a test device for you....
WebOS all the way!
For those who haven't tried it, here are some hints:
-butter smooth (when fresh)
-TRUE and exceptional multitasking
-great UI
The thing with HP is that they bought Palm for a hefty sum but never had any idea how to make it better. For now, they only got two WebOS devices that can not be called ancient: Pre3 and Veer- both fabulous phones ( Veer is quire popular among ladies, even @ Google HQ ). This is the bottle neck for their market. If they will get it running on other devices it will surely change the game more than WP7 did.
HP will nail it if they choose to go open source and get some devs involved, though this OS is maybe the best so far, it's still full of bugs and flaws, looks like a beta release.
... Another one. Is open sourcing now the dumping ground for dead projects?
came back from a party some minutes ago and read that webos is now open sorce on pocketnow.
it would really be great to be able to dualboot webos and android on the s2. hope somebody will do this and bring us this great os.

Hi, I don't really know tbh, android just felt like my home that I couldn't leave. Although I really want a WP7 device to give it another try. I feel like it could be good for me, everything I basically need and it just works. Without any distractions. Social integration is a major plus now too, I never really went on social networks when I tried it out, might get another cheap HD2 and have fun with it.

Go to toshiba oficial facebook and ask for 3.2 (or 4.0) android update every one

Hey i think we all togheter can make the diference and complain to toshiba about the device anda all togheter ask for a 3.2 or 4.0 update what do you think?
I allready made my complain please help me http://www.facebook.com/toshibamultimedia
That's a good idea. But how will you realize that?
What do you mean with "realize that"? Go to their facebookpage, post your want on their Wall and hope the best. That's all you can do. Or start a petition We have very good guys here that can and it seems also that they will "produce" a working port of ICS but a official rom which "only" have to be rooted would be the greatest thing... Sadly i think it will nothing come that way.... . But it's worth a try and when we don't try it we never find out if it can work! So do it
Done, but it will be useless... Toshiba is a sh***y company.
we have to try!
I'have also posted a message for what it is worth.
I don't think they will bother (they even seem to commercially deny the decice even exists). The hardware itself might have bugs and quality issues, but it is quite capable running newer software (new tablets are now coming out with the same or even slower processor).
The stock firmware is actually quite bad compared to the 2.3 i'm using right now, but i will only upgrade to ics if all hardware drivers work.
Added mine, bet they dont even read it !
Happy new year all
they reply to me saing that is google fault not his fault loool toshiba s++ks!
I don't think Toshiba values the folio internally anymore so I don't see it getting any updates. We can try but there's little money in it for them... Currently it's nopy's and Jon2555's ports that are the best hope.
I think every Custom rom is much better than Toshibas Roms,...
I have ask it on the facebook page. There are a lot of peoples how ask it . I hope they will do that.
Agree with it
I have Toshiba again asked for an update for the folio 100. The AT200, AT300 and maybe the at100 will have an android 4.1 update. Will everybody asked again for an update too android 3, 4 or 4.1 for the folio.
that's what i have post:
Why would you update the tablets AT200 and AT300 and maybe AT100 too android 4.1 and not folio 100? People who have buy a folio 100 are abandoned from the purchase. Why you don't give this device an update to android 3, 4 or 4.1 ??
go to https://www.facebook.com/toshibamultimedia and like it or write also a comment.
hmm do not know, why they should update an old device?
They want to sell the new tablets,...
Ok, I wrote my post. I don't believe they will even care, but hope dies last.
