Great to see alpha 5 is out - never used bluetooth on my folio so that's not a worry for me. Hoping life isn't being too stressful and would like to let it be known how thankful I am for you continuing with this. I'm going to try and save some money next time I'm paid and will donate it :)

Can anyone tell me if the flickering after being suspended is permenant until reboot or is it just a couple of flickers?

Thanks :)

Does anyone have a problem with the latest Chrome? I upgraded it and since then it stops with unexpected error right after start. Any solutions?

Hmm,.... My Wlan is broken now. Have I made a mistake or have anyone else a Problem?
My second problem is the SOD,... Since Alpha 4 I have sometimes a SOD
Is something that can I do?

By the way, is it normal for the tablet to show only 346 MB of RAM?!?

C'mon guys, just take a look at your system info under the settings and tell me how much RAM memory it shows. Please.

Have you erased the partitions using fastboot before installing the rom?

The amount of Ram seems to change for me depending on the rom or something. Not on A5 yet, but will check it for you when I am and will let you know.

Thank you very much.
I see it also. When I look at about tablet there is 346MB. But when I look at Apps I see 1GB.

Thanks to you too. 1 GB is the amount of memory available for installing apps and it's not related with the RAM.

Anyway, since our Folioes have at least 512 MB of RAM, this is an issue that should be addressed by our heroes. :D

Is it maybe kernel related?

The ram that you lack is used among other things for graphics memory. That amount of memory reported is perfectly normal

I installt it like Alpha 2, 3 and 4 via recovery,... since yet i haven't any problems,..

What should i do now to get it working?

My suggest is to go in fastboot mode, use the following commands:

fastboot erase linux
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

When the tablet reboots, go into recovery and format all partitions but the external SD.

Then, install the rom and restart.


Once you're into the new rom, restart again and get back to recovery. Install gapps and restart.

Now get into fastboot mode again and execute

fastboot -w
fastboot restart

Enjoy alpha 5.

Are you sure the Tegra 2 GPU has no dedicated RAM?

EDIT: it looks like you were right. http://www.anandtech.com/print/4144

But still, there are still 40 MB missing. Where are those?

Thanks alot, Wlan is working now =))
But i have to use \fastboot -i 0x0955 ;)

EDIT:
I have a lot of SOD, if it wakes up, the display is flickering. I can't connect to the Playstore,.. "Can't establish a reliable connection to the server. This could be temporary or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call customer Care."

I already downloaded the actually playstore over the browser, wlan also works.

Will you also work on this rom? Or have you buy a folio for testing this rom? It would be nice if you also will help too make this rom better. Then you, DerArtem and Nopy would be a very good team.

no sorry, i have no focus on folio100 anymore. it was basically just too cheap to let go, and this 4.x upgrade is a very nice enhancement that DerArtem and Nopy worked on.. but i got other tablets i focus on.

Thanks,

Anyway, I think this tablet deserved at least 1 GB of RAM, since Android looks so memory-hungry.
