Dear Toshiba Folio 100 user.
I have created this thread to use it as a place it discuss all ideas, suggestions, problems, improvements about this device. In this way we can clean some of the general issues in the Dexter ROM thread.
Regards
Marcelo
Applications using the big screen ?
Looking for the best (screen usage) for email and calendar.
The email client in 1.0b is the default one for Android, looking at the email client in Samsung Tab its much better at using the big screen. Also the Folio is much better with white/light background as the "stock" email-client does not have.
Any pointer to a better app ?
The calendar app is much better and uses the screen much better.
Please write about your experiences with apps that works with big screens and works good on the Folio.

where do you find email client samsung???
Using Startup Manager, would it be possible to disable the phone service or would that result in a nuclear explosion or something like it? i mean, is android dependant on it one way or another, or would it be safe to disable it?
why foliomod ?
Hi to all
mhgonzalez great idea to create this "general" post.
I bought two folio for as Christmas gift, now they are hidden .. but, when I can, I do some test.
I never used android till now but I'm trying to understand why I should install foliomod. During my little usage I didn't find any bug, I only wasn't able to open a ebook (.epub) using the default reader (and I have put the file in the Books folder, anyway) but I suppose it's only because I need to improve my "knowledge".
But at the moment no bugs where find, all the apps installed work properly, wifi it's ok and, after I installed flash plug-in, browsing is ok too.
Not only but I was able to find the few app I saw googoling around the web.
What the folio mod make me able to do more than this ?

It can be downloaded from

but it does NOT work on the Folio

[FIX] Background picture correctly scaled.
Download the app "Multipicture Live Wallpaper" from the market, enable it, and set the background image you want in the settings. YAY! HiRes background

That is one of my frustrations. The current email.apk on the folio, as well as the calender, look pretty terrible. In email, I can't even scroll through the different emails, everytime I have to open a message, read, close and open the next. Even on the (rather basic) email.apk on the Galaxy S I have small arrows on top with which I can scroll through to the next or previous message. The Galaxy-TAB email.apk doesn't work (well) on the SGS either.
Also, Samsung have another email-client from com7, I'can;t get that version installed ( a specific Samsung version with great HTML-email-presentation, but alas, missing scroll-arrows also). I'll check the com7-site to see if they have a more general Android version of their email-app and come back on that one.
So if anyone has an other email.apk which works on the Folio, let me know.

Dear Kakkio.
Modding the most important in my case was to be able to download application from Android Market, reason why the Toshiba Market is a joke. It depend on what will you do with the Folio. If it is only to browse internet and reading book, dont mod. If you need more, I recomend to mod.
dear mhgonzalez
tnx for your answer, in a few word you give me axactly the info I needed.
Mainly I'll use the tablet to read, listen music, watch video and browsing... but I like to "play" so, after a few, I'm sure I'll go to install foliomod...
In this moment I'm installing android emulator on my ubuntu in order to get a little bit more involved.

I quote a post from "pekka91166" from the dexter section because I think is perfect for this section ...
"...I agree with one of the earlier posts on Android (especially Tegra2) tablets versus others, including iPad.
If you're simpoly looking for a tablet which works and works very well, get yourself an iPad. And accept it's a pretty much closed OS.
If you're looking for a working Android tab, go for the SGT, although I'm not sure how well the TAB is working.
With all these tegra2 tablets, we're in for some disturbing months. Right now, these products all seem to suffer from pre-release firmwares which haven't been adapted well enough to the powerful (and partly cheap) hardwarechoices the various suppliers have chosen.
In the case of the Folio100, I knew very well I was buying a product with factory-default rubbish FW, but after reading Dexter's posts I figured it was worth trying, playing, failing and reinstalling.
All in all, I'm happy with the Folio, it's definitely NOT the product is should become, but pretty decent workeable and, last but nost least, FUN (and irritating at the same time).
I just hope Toshiba will, at some point, come with an acceptable FW AND that, in the meantime, Dexter and others will be able to cook some nice firmwares based on 2.2.
The Folio FEELS at some point very powerful, so the Tegra2 should be able to perform, but most of the times it seems lazy. For me a clear indication its the firmware of the machine. Unfortunately, it's a bit the same with a Galaxy S-phone. Powerhouse, but the firmware (2.2) is yet not there to unleash the full power.
Let's hope we'll get 2.3 running on our Tosh and that it supports dual-cores. I expect until then we'll have a nice (and often frustrating) toy to fiddle around with....."
why mod?
For me the big disappointment with the Folio was that none of the Google stuff worked and I expected this from a device with Android.
Dexter has fixed this with his mods and now i can see all my picassa pics in the Gallery, my contacts calendar and email all sync perfectly. Try Google maps with the street view addin and zoom down streets, spin around, it is the sort of app that the tablet excells at.
He has also fixed the Market and there are plenty that are free and work great like tunein radio, some are worth paying for like Bria if you want a good sip client.
I have gone for the v2 mod as it seems to fly, It is not perfect but it is 1000% better.
Others have found v1 mod better for their use. Dexter has made it easy to try them and roll back and has proved to be adept at fixing issues with easy to apply updates , he can also be stimulated with his Donate button, Early reports are that the other tablets arriving with Froyo are hardly better than stock Folio all crippled at birth. Anyway I am grinning. I had a Nokia N800, ****e at first but then the second os release brought it to life and included a cpu overclock. Some have said we are not using both cores properly so I am looking forward to the next Android even if we have to stimulate Dexter to make it work again
but after foliomod I'll found the original apps ? or I have to re-install them again ? or I'll found others ones ?
and if toshiba will create a FW upgrade I'll have to roll-back to the original state to install it?
sorry for the stupid questions

Some will be there and some better ones have been included plus you have acess to the market where you should find everything you need , this is a bit trial and error but people will hopefully post reports of apps that work well on the folio. Yes you would have to go back to stock rom to get the Tosh update. Hah lets see if that comes:
Hi!
Somehow I got stuck in the Foliomod V01...
When I'm in system recovery trying to upate to a later version I only get:
E:Can't mount DEFAULT_PATH
Finding update package
Opening update package
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Formatting MISC:...
When I choose: apply sdcard:update.zip
The same message pops up.
Anybody who has got an idea, how to fix this?
stuck
I would delete the update.zip and put a fresh one there, check on the pc that the zip opens and is not corrupt. Ian

Anybody know a way to use bluetooth for tethering, like it's possible with the archos tablets?
I've got 2 phones here wich are capable of making a dial up connection, but they are not as advanced as complete smart phones.
First is a LG GD510 POP and the second is a Samsung U600. Neither phone has a wlan connection, so it must be connected through bluetooth.
I can make a bluetooth connection with either of them and can send files and contact cards to them, but a tethering connection is not (yet) possible.
I know in the archos tablets, there is a possibility to tether, but in the folio (and mods) it's not.
Searching only delivers solutions, where the android device is the phone and a pc is the client or where a connection is made through wifi.

i dont there is any need to compare other hardware platforms..
the you could say Windows7 works fine with flash, but my android does not..
or my milestone works quite wll too, but still not same platform...
Best is put into accepting Toshiba/Nvidia is still work in progress, other major companies seems to plan using tegra2 and then we will for sure see much better support..
Toshiba released the folio100 too quick, comparing to Malata T2 which is still not out, as they realize its not in an acceptable state, although Nvidia is helping them to improve, they have yet to release their tablet and provide updates.
Hey everyone
I hope you answer me asap .
I've searched in the internet for usb back tethering & i found it & worked for me great , but now the problem is , when i installed the KJ2 rom the method wont to run , is there any way you guys know it to run the back tethering again ?
old way :
1. sharing internet from your network driver with samsung .
2.putting these ip addresses in the samsung network conn. :
10.1.1.1 as main ip
255.255.255.0 as Default GW
3.opening better terminal emulator from your device & adding the following commands :
su
ifconfig usb0 10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 10.1.1.1 dev usb0
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
now this way was working great for me but after the KJ2 ROM installation it didnt work atall.
i am waiting for an answer from you guys
& thank you
i am starting to bump since no reply till now
woops bump
hard to know that such a huge forums doesn't gave 1 guy knows waht am i talking about !!!
or they just read then meh ?

The answer seems pretty obvious to me, revert to your previous ROM.
thank you for your obvious answer but i am sure that there are another more useful obvious answers in the forum .
& btw people upgrade their properties not downgrading them .
again , thank you for your obvious reply
@DADER,
I agree with the other guy... Return to your previous ROM if yu NEED this feature atleast until someone can give you a better answer.
@DADER,
What the heck is "usb back tethering"? When I do a google search for that exact term in quotes (which guarantees that only that exact phrase is found), the ONLY result I get is this very thread.
Are you trying to do tethering via usb to have your computer use the phone's 3g connection? Or trying to tether the phone to use your computer's network connection?

I did read your post. It is barely comprehensible, which is why I had to ask what the heck you are talking about. And as I said, the term "USB back tethering" in a google search doesn't turn up any pages but this one.
well , a month ago there was a blog which i found in it this method , google is a moody search engine
what the **** , i've been posting this thread for a week & no reply from a mod or developer - i just want if there's a solution or not- ( btw with all of my respect to the members whom participated in this thread ).
i hope someone gives a look to the thread & gives me a decisive answer ....

What you're talking about is called USB Reverse Tethering. That should clear a lot of things up.
Secondly, if you're not getting a reply, don't just continually bump the thread.
..and finally, take people's advice: if you really need this, then go back to the old setup. If not, stop complaining.
Your best bet would be to contact the original developer, not start a new thread.
screamworks.
.. Or why not take this as an opportunity to learn more about linux? The method you posted sounds like it should work if only you tweaked the commands to work with your new ROM. Start by getting familiar with ifconfig and linux network stack.

I wasn't being aggressive, it's called common sense. Don't start acting as if you're entitled to help from people, when they do it in their spare time out of their own free will - the least you can do is not waste their time by doing some basic searching beforehand.
Hey I just switched to cm and I'm loving it but I'm really missing the stock reader app. I still use my nook for reading and the nook app from the market just isn't the same. Is there an update.zip or API floating around I can install to get the stock reader app installed?

i've been reading the NT forum for months and have heard none mentioned. . okay but just think about it for a second. the stock NT uses hardware acceleration very well ( a thing of beauty ) . . . its the stock 'firmware' that makes the books look so nice ! . . not the stock app . . . the senior devs have 'not' got cm9 tweaked out ( punked out ? ) with hardware acceleration. . . cross your fingers, the new binary level guru in europe will get it ! ! !

Fair enough. I have no complaints about cm9 I know it is very alpha. I just feel robbed reading books now... especially since a lot of the content I read isn't from B&N so now I have to force the app to find it.. with all that said cm is still worlds better than stock.
I use coolreader myself and it works perffectly well on CM7 for me. But then again I never bought any books from B&N as I have a ton of books I have gotten else where that I need to read.
I've tried downloading the generic B&N apk for Android devices, and it didn't work well. Forced-closure, hanging, etc.
I'm using Mantano now which I like very much. Of course, when I want to just focus on reading I'll still revert to my Nook Simple Touch with stock reader.
The issue that I ran into is that the stock app (which I got from the aclaim update I believe, it's been a while) requires a certain version of Adobe Air to run correctly, in addition I do believe it uses the hardware acceleration (can't confirm this) so if your versions aren't the right sort, and certain files aren't correct, it runs like hell. I gave up on it personally.

care to point me to it?
Let me look and I'll see if I can dig it up again.
It's not possible due to framework incompatibility, so if you're not in stock it won't work. B&N apps depend on the stock framework like stock samsung apps and widgets depend on samsung framework.
Conclusion use the B&N app from google play and a 3rth party reader or go back to stock

I'm using the Google Play version of the B&N Nook App and it works flawlessly for me. No force closing or hanging at all.
Agreed. The NOOK app from the Play Market has been flawless for me, reading primarily ePub documents without DRM.

Well, that time has come. I feel like our ROM is stable enough that I can finally proide support for it without you guys (unintentionally) clogging up the dev thread.
If you have a question, POST IT HERE. If you want to ask about install issues, how to get into devving, or rabid toasters, POST IT HERE. I am closing off the dev thread now that this is created. If you post there without a constructive helpful comment (I will put up criteria there), you will get yelled at, beaten, and sent to slink back to your hole from whence you came.
Okay, now that that's over, I will be providing support in this thread. I am not mean, scary, nasty, or like to drown puppies for fun, despite what the impression the above may give you. I am actually a very helpful person (as most pre-existing members here will agree), and will try to help you, even if you think it's a stupid question.
One rule here: Search first!
I cannot emphasize how important this is. As I said, I am more than happy to answer questions, but for the love of god please don't post something like "wherez the ICS guyzz, I don;t see it in this thrad, this forum sukks". Please use search first before posting. Thank you, and have a nice day.
Well, have fun, and I will answer any questions you have (even if they don't directly relate to ICS).

Between devs yes, we use Gtalk on a daily basis, and has been invaluable in getting work done quickly. It would be interesting to use skype and/or Gtalk for support, although we would need a dedicated account for that (and we are currently locked out of our Nova Gmail account, because we forgot the password ).
Not trolling here, but just wondering. Since when did discussion become development? Shouldn't this be in general?

This is a subsection of our development thread, and while it may be better placed in general, it is best here, as we remove the chance of people who create accounts just to complain, and we obtain easier access for users. Plus, I believe I may have an idea to put the community to work, I just need to polish it a bit more.

I would hold off, but only for a little while longer, there are a few details (market download fix and proper sdcard support) that need to be added into the next ROM build so you don't have to ADB push things or use terminal to enter code after every boot, once those issues are fixed then it should be a good daily. But, if your comfortable and know how to ADB push files and stuff like that then go for it, just remember you WILL be charging it EVERY night due to the deep sleep bug inherited from the CM7 kernel that was used as the base for our CM9 kernel.

Everything else either has already been added/fixed (Voodoo!!! Beats removed and optional ) or I could wait for (bluetooth, camera, gps).
You guys are doing a great job though, can't wait for the next build to see how you guys are doing.

My milestones that need to be crossed for daily usage would be:
H/W Acceleration

once oisis gets his sgp 4.0, he can port a 3.0.x kernal and all these will will be fixed.

if/when Oisis gets a 3.0.x kernel up and going (after he gets his player) hopefully the deep sleep bug will be no more, since its a carry over from the CM7 base kernel and if we have a new kernel that should solve that issue, and should get us to where bluetooth, camera and H/W acceleration could all be possible aswell.
Han, while we wait for Oisis to get his player and do his magic can we get one more build that has the fixed vold.fstab to have both internal and external memory working normally without having to ADB push files to the player and the market fix (if there's an easy way to do it)?

A build with a fixed vold.fstab is possible but for the market fix, this is something related to the initrd that actually needs one more line of code for it to be activated lool.

Hold up a sec, I'm unsure of the situation a bit here... does oisis HAVE a Samsung Galaxy 4.0?
If not, I'm willing to toss a couple Tens his way (won't mention how much here) with a stipulation. I'm talking about Amazon Credit (which I have alot of) here... An Amazon gift card (via email) would have to be used as Amazon being the purchase website. PM me if there is an interest oisis if this is the case of you not having an actual SGP 4.0 ...
Edit: Ok, I just read that oisis actually did order one from China (?) but if it takes too long I'm still willing to help money wise if needed for any of these great 4.0 devs here developing the ICS rom

OK then, a build with fixed vold.fstab and a file browser like the free ES File explorer so I can sideload my apps.

A file explorer? I think I will just fix the kernel so that the drmserver can work on boot. As for the vold.fstab, I cleaned all my repo so it will take a long time before I can get one, I will get it more presumably on the weekend.

Yeah a file explorer (file browser) so I can access the LEGALLY obtained .apk's I've collected from the developers websites, to install them. for whatever reason there is NO file browser app in this CM9.
Hello forum,
First of all I'm not sure I'm posting this where I should.
I have searched the forum for the information I am looking for but no luck so far.
What I desire might not be easy, not sure if it's even possible:
I know that my girlfriend needs and wants a tablet(a simple one) , so I ordered a serioux visiontab s800 which will be shipped today.
I want to setup an app or if possible in another way, to play a certain song when booting the tablet. Or even after it has booted. I just want it to start playing a song all of a sudden
If this is possible , I might want to start working on it asap, since I will give the gift on Thursday.
Do you folks reckon that is possible?
Thanks,
Deletu

Here's the simpliest method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539795
Just create a poweron.ogg file and put it in /system/etc (ROOT NEEDED)
if that didn't work:
I believe that you can , just find a timer program that works as soon as the mobile boots , here's how:
1-Search on google for a method of adding a startup program , "How to add Startup Programs Android", google is not working for me so sorry.
2-Search on youtube for "Android Developement Tutorial" by "thenewboston" , it is a series of 100 Episodes , when you reach Episode 20 , you'll have known how to create a music file that plays when the app is launched , so in your case , you'll add that music and make it play once the app is booted.
3-Make the App you created above play on startup.
4-You're good to go
Or you can make the music play on shutdown!
If I helped you please click on the thanks button.
EDIT:Found good threads on how to add startup programs:
http://www.ehow.com/how_12022095_add-startup-applications-android.html Just download startup manager and do that.
