Can not rotate

Dexter: really nice mod. Sent you a couple of Red Bulls before christmas.


After upgrading to 1.3 I'm not able to use the tablet in portrait mode anymore.
Before, ADW and applications rotated without problem, but after the update the folio seems not to register changes to orientations anymore.

Anyone else having the same problem or have I missed something noobish?

Try factory reset, update again and facory reset again.

I did a factory reset before and after installing 1.3 and 1.3b patch. Not on c patch since I figured it was not gonna make any difference.

Can try again, just annoying fiddeling with the backups all the time ;)

Was hoping for "your a noob and just have to activate...."-answer ;)

it should work fine with 1.3c
i got 1.3b + 1.3c patch installed with one released, i use launcherPRO and it works fine here?

can it be like launcherPRO you have disabled rotation in settings?

Headset issues

I've experienced the headset issues I saw in some of the earlier posts here.

I use mod 1.3b.

When I insert the headset I get sound both on the headset and in the Folio 100 speakers the first time i connect the headset after powerup. If I pull the plug out and insert it again the sound is only in the headset.

My first thought was hardware issues, but when this occurs every time I'm sure it's something else.

I also tried my phone headset (with a microphone) and then the sound was barely hearable.

Anyone else with these issues.

I use the headset on my way to work when I take the train, and it is rather embarrasing when I forget to: plug in, plug out and plug in again in order to only get sound through the headset :)

(I have gotten some complaints about it) :)

i've been using my folio a whole lot both with and without headsets. and i've never experienced a bug/fault like that.. but, as for a lot of other weird bugs like that it has helped to pull out the battery for 5 minutes and put it back in.. it sounds like something they would tell you at an ISP support.. but it has fixed the strangest issues :)

Causing the high CPU load and unresponsiveness:

Maybe this is can be caused by flash. I hardly had the problem during the last weeks, but today I got it shortly after watching a flash video embedded on a web page (not using youtube app)
Also the same several weeks ago I switched to Dolphin HD as my primary browser, which has an option to load plugins only on demand.
So you get rid of all those flash banners and have to do just one-click on the content you are interested in.

Don't get me wrong, I still have the high cpu load issue from time to time (system_server consuming 50-75% of the CPU) but the tablet was still responsive.

interesting, i'm also only getting the 100% load bug when i'm using the browser. i was pretty sure that quicksearch was to blame, but maybe not..

Solved with a swipe and reinstall of! 13 and then updated to c instantly.

I've had the problem that the tablet did not rotate the screen.

I tried to wipe and removing the battery, but not resolved.

Finally I had to reinstall the FolioMod 1.3b., and quickly 1.3c upgraded.

Normally the tablet works fine, but ocassionally the screen stop responding and I have to force shutdown, because when I click "Shut Down", the screen not responsive.

I'm happy anyway. Dexter and company thank you very much ;-)

    Thanks!


    WARNING: Use this image at your own risk and i take no responsibility if
    you brick your tablet.. Image has been tested on a Toshiba Folio 100 and works fine if guidelines are followed.

    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.

    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.
