@Folio100
Did you try to dl the stock firmware in the first post and install it with the upgrade firmware method? I think it should format all previous apps and rewrite oly the stock apps.

WIFI ok now

shawnfr said:
Nothing special it just started working after a reboot. I think the router was in N mode and has dropped back now.
Also I have to disable...reboot...enable. Then it works. Mmind you,as Dex said...the Toshiba driver was dodgy too :(

Hei shawnfr.

I did some resetting of the device by pulling the battery. After that, WIFI connected and stayed connected.
Also put the energy-widget on the desktop to switch WIFI on and off. Works perfect.

Thanks also for shinebar1001/Dannys input. :)

Dexter: This was great stuff. Thank you!

Did you try the new rom? I mean did you do the update-recovery.zip thing first and then update to dexter firmware and then tried to go back to the stock rom?
I think maybe you have to flash with the update-recovery.zip first to put your folio in root mode before you can flash it for good with dexter rom or the stock rom. But I may be wrong.

Posted a small usb mount update..

its kinda temporary as its not perfect, as toshiba made their "framework" different than Nvidia to handle usb mounts, so its not fully compatible , but does the job for some time..

see post #1 for the update.

1. when you install the update-recovery.zip rename this file to update.zip and reboot into recovery on folio100.
2. when its good (press HOME to see that it worked) then
copy the contents of the "FolioModv01.zip" to a sdcard, you find a update.zip and txt file inside this zip.
3. again reboot into recovery and let the update.zip be installed.

Umm it seems to have stuffed my system applying this again.
Launcher Pro is now broken, as is Astro.
It has mounted the internal SD, but now doesn't seem to see the external one :-(
Do I have to re-install all the apps and do a factory reset after this update?

Dexter, need clarification on your instructions:

"1. Download Folio recovery v0.1 , rename zip to update.zip and put onto sdcard.
Execute "Apply sdcard:update.zip" in recovery menu.
Then
2. Download from Mirror 1 - FolioMod v0.1 or Mirror2 - multiupload link
and inside zip is a textfile and update.zip which goes to root of your sdcard."

That instruction seems to put 1. update.zip into sdcard, then 2. put another update.zip into the same sdcard to overwrite the first.

Any Folio owners successfully did these steps?

Thanks

Normaly I do it several time, but I will do it again, then First I made an update withe update-recovery.zip (renamed update.zip before) after I have to let the folio reboot and launch the android system or directly when I reboot i go directly to recovery mode and do the update with the "FolioModv01.zip" (collect the update.zip inside the zip), i will remove the battery system first to check if the wifi reset. I will keep you in touch later because i am in office now.

Just a thought :

have you tried somewhere else ?
like at the office, or at a friends place ?

it might just not like your router...

Well, not exactly :-( , it does state "Apply update.zip" after you put the first on on the sdcard.. so its becomes logical somehow, that you reboot after this as folio100 does not really like that you extract the sdcard and try another update.zip right after the first one..

its related to the fact, that some apps install on "external" sdcard..

so when those are swapped, they suddenly do no longer appear on external sd, so yes, those apps in question needs to be re-installed.

you dont see any external sd card anymore, only by using the "File manager" from Toshiba, you will see its actually still there as "sdcard", but menu will only show your internal storage(the 16GB partition minus space used for system)..

Ok, managed to install the mod, seems to be ok, although i find the live wallpaper (the water one) to be a little slow, dlna is not working, and i'm really looking forward to a proper usb fix... I'll see if the stand by bug is gone or not

fyi,
the "standby" bug only occur if you hit "power" too many times when its actually in deep standby, thats a bug, but can be avoided with patience :)
just one press of the power button helps, more will kill/freeze the tablet.

disabling of the "ethernet" interface also seems to cause instability, not 100% sure, but it suddenly seems slower when i do so here.. ill keep debugging..

Ok, i found out that the tablet still switches on on its own although i don't touch it... Back to the stock rom, for now. Sorry, but for some reason this mod is causing me more problems than i thought

DLNA is not 100% in place, it was actually work in progress, and i forgot i included it in apps dir :-( but it will be fixed..

I just noted now you mean USB mass storage sharing to pc, which i simply didnt notice as a problem..i have found the problem to be in the root image, so another update is needed for this small change.
(default.prop says /sdcard and not /mnt/sdcard causing usb mass storage to fail)

the initial usb fix i made, was for USB slot so you could insert a usb stick into the folio.

    !!This is ONLY for Toshiba Folio 100!!!

    This Mod is based on Toshiba Stock with additions from Nvidia SDK, to make a better functioning stock rom with google apps and better OpenGL ES support.

    Currently giving you an amazing
    - 3000+ in Quadrant score!! (screenshot here )
    - 50.5 frames in neocore (not amazing compared to HTC desireHD, i think, but still good)

    You can also follow updates on Twitter now: Dexter Picard (DexterPicard) on Twitter or me a Red bull, and you're sure i stay up working on this mod or you can visit my new homepage at Dexter's mods

    for new users with latest 2.2.5.0131 firmware, here is a howto on reverting tablet to be able to install custom roms.
    Wiki pages available here and here Other non-FolioMod , but folio100 threads Kernel&Tweaks & General questions thread
    Please use these for non-FolioMod questions, like screen,battery etc...

    Video illustration of FolioMod (Thanks to kevin.hansen)

    Installation Instructions:
    ALWAYS HAVE CHARGER CONNECTED WHEN UPDATING A FIRMWARE.
    A FACTORY RESET IN RECOVERY MENU IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED TOO.

    After reboot a BLACK screen appear for 1 or 2 minutes!! don't worry, its normal!
    ​

    Rollback to original stock rom:

    extract zip to a folder, and from here follow steps 1 - 7 above, to install the update.zip .

    Weeds2000 gave it a go, and fixed the download of paid apps! im sure alot will be happy to read this.
    Then i found another tweak in the screen driver, to increase framerate which currently was only 51. now its increased to 80.
    on top of this, DerArtem is currently working on making it possible to use USB 3G dongles on our folio, so we can go online using the phone functionality in Android. I have for now, enabled some phone functions and activated the signal level indicator (might be annoying, but enhancement has a cost for now).
    It also seems, that i by mistake had enabled locationservices in the build.prop, so at every boot the GPS, which we don't have, was enabled and caused an additional CPU load during a bootup. this is now fixed as well.

    31.12.2010
    the update pack includes some fixes for wpa_supplicant issue, where it did not switch to the correct adhoc wpa_supplicant.
    and weeds2000 has brought a new update to the orientation so compass works, but mouse is still wrong.
    lastly it fixes the sensor readings which made your tablet unable to rotate.
    30.12.2010
    A little more details on v1.3 update release..
    V1.3 went through a public beta1 stage and issues were found and fixed where possible.
    While fixing bugs in 1.3beta a 3D performance pack was found with the Viewsonic forum, and i tested it with our Folio, with changes as required to match our system. and it increased framerates. So that is now part of the new 1.3.
    Furthermore the filesystem I/O performance bugs were found and fixed, and we now have a 330MB partition running on a loopback device, making database calls and small file changes much faster.
    With the ElocityA7 i found the newest Flashplayer minor update revision, and of course replaced our Toshiba beta with the new one found.
    Other users has suggested kernel tweaks which also has been added to the v1.3, one of them is the "swappiness" parameter, it is suggested to increase application handling on our folio and its now "live" in this release.
    Sol Ido, provided us with the 0.3.4 edition of the FolioWidget, which includes a tricker enabler for switching between the regular wpa_supplicant and the wpa_supplicant for adhoc use also included in 1.3.
    The orientation fix from weeds2000 is now default included into v1.3, but can be removed with a rollback patch found in the patches section in Post #1. it does have flaws like mouse pointer moves in "portrait" mode right now. compass should not be working correctly. but in general more apps utilizing the orientation/sensor is now working much better.

    With FolioMod 1.3 a small milestone is reached, getting 3000+ in Quadrant score without actually cheating here :)
    But of course Quadrant benchmarking is just one way of meassuring our device, CPU performance has not changed at all, so dont get too excited, but it does help in the overall experience of your tablet.

    19.12.2010
    A little picture to document the problem with rotation on our tablet and other tegra2 tablets. click picture for better details.
    android_rotation.jpg
    as you see on the picture above, our tablet has native 0 degree in landscape mode where mobilephones got portrait native.. you can call this failure of nvidia, or someone else, but it seems that someone thinks this should be the standard.
    if we can get the X and Y curve switched, we might just get it working normally.

    12.12.2010
    - Version 1.2 introduce use of the official patch installer from Toshiba which shows progress bar indicator movements on the screen, if recovery menu is not shown.
    - Version 1.2 offers the newest toshiba update 2.5.0053 features, but which?
    - BadStorm2010 managed to get a custom kernel compiled, which for adds support for ext4(future support),OpenVPN and cifs support, so you can mount filesystems over network.
    - The FolioWidget offers control of your hardware buttons to have lights enabled and turns off only when pressed (good during evening/night)
    - By failure of mine, the Vending.apk (Market app) included in 1.2, slows down the folio, so to enhance and fix it, i added a patch which adds the newest Market app to our folio with new design and way of selecting apps (actually is much better).
    - as the framework is new, i tried to include all old features as 360 rotation , wma/wmv , Google apps + /mnt/sdcard location fix and other small issues.
    - Paid apps still remain an issue with toshiba framework, only solution for you that want/need it, is to use the old 0.2 edition with nvidia framework.

    29.11.2010
    Currently the Toshiba edition 1.0b is having more issues than compared to 0.2a software wise. there is a freeze issues, and awake issues(solved,but fix is not released) and google paid apps cannot be downloaded.
    So if you're ok without proper BT functions and usbstick unmounting, the 0.2a is probably you're best choice right now..
    But if you need mouse/keyboard, usbstick proper unmount, 360rotation, the toshiba mod is the way forward.
    I will try and get the freezing fixed, but more testing is needed..

    28.11.2010
    the Toshiba mod was created due to all the small differences in the framrwork with Bluetooth, USB functionality and sdcard card functions. Like on phones, vendors always do a little customization, which not always serves all users nicely when the image is modded based on other models. But now the stock rom is available with modded functions, so all should be happy now.

    25.11.2010- on top of the above mentioned changes, here are some more regular info

    - The new 0.2a still has USB stick/sdcard unmount issues, which is only part of the toshiba framework to handle for now. Im working on getting it to work on stock android.
    - Increased the desktop sizing to 7 vert/horz , so more space for widgets and placement.
    - media player extract image information.
    - Wpa supplicant will not show signal strength for now, but im sure the better functionality might compesate for this.
    (this has been tested with my Galaxy S running tetherAP function, and i could go online using my mobile connection)
    Tested(v0.2a),
    -Gapps,Angrybirds,Movieplayback(Yxplayer)+WMV/WMA, HDMI out, usb mass storage to pc, sdcard,usbstick, websurf+flash
    - rotation , Market download, Power off,ad-hoc connectivity,.

    V1.2 BETA available

    here is an early beta of 1.2, as im not sure of stability, please test and report on this version.

    - Updated with latest apps/binaries from toshiba update
    - Included custom kernel compiled by Badstorm2010, includes cifs/ext4/tun support.
    - included cifsmanager, a tool so you can mount windows filesystem from another machine.
    cifs manager only works with launcherpro and toshibaHome launcher
    - removed all manuals (50MB) + manual widget (needed some space)

    it uses Toshiba's flashing now, so you might need to wipe, as we dont have a option to clear "dalvik-cache" right now.. but test and let me know.
    this does no longer require any recovery-mod for new users.

    update,
    seems you dont need to wipe, but you do not get "CifsManager" update and toshiba apps update, if you dont start from scratch.. (so you know why its not there)
    with Astro or a fileexplorer look in /system/toshiba/apk folder for new apps.
