Hi,
I´m writing this post to notify that there is a new official update from toshiba.
I cannot give more information, because my folio is in SAT, but the version number might be "18/02/2011 (2.2.5.0131)". I have no info about changes yet, but I´ve red something about preparation for the new flash player and more utilities.

(Sorry, I can´t still post urls, you may add the usual www to check the adress)
Maybe we have new materials for our favourite mods (for me, Folionotion and foliomod, I can´t decide).
Any additional info will be wellcome, thanks

Is there support to market place?
Will we have it in mods ???
I have installed it.
It seems to be more performance in 3D games.
Flash plugin preinstaled, and it can run the flash animation in Toshiba's web page .
It solves some bug about brong accelerometer axis in some games.
But no Android Market, only the same *sigh* Toshiba Market.
The question is whether we can install FolioMod on top of this update or not. For me,it's not worth updating this without DexterMod, which is already very good imo

if you wantt custom mods, you avoid the update!!!!
THIS UPDATE WILL BLOCK YOUR UPDATE OPTIONS, AND BYE BYE CUSTOM ROMS
I confirm that the root of 5.0131 is ok yessssssss !
I'm guessing this updates the recovery kernel, and the recovery kernel is the only place that the recovery kernel is visible from to write? So root access is not enough for a simple way of updating the whole OS partition.

they might have blocked it on the new update as well, making it really hard to get revert.. but on previous editions you can easily write a new recovery.
the partition is visible at partition 7, but this might have changed.
i have not had the luxury to look at the actual update, so what is inside, is for me to find out.. then we get all the nasty details.
ok guys... anyone having installed this update pls kindly report the following:
1. stability status
(crashes freezez sod)
2. software issue - can sideloaded applications be installed and used?
3. root ability ?
4. 3d games like dangeon defenders working ?
5. custom flashing ability?

5 custom flashing ability yes using adb to instal first the old kernel
basicly the tablets works has it was ment to be i think that toshiba might even suprise everyone by realeasing honeycomb for this tablet in future
When I go to Toshiba Service Station, there is no update available(using Dexters wonderful foliomod). How do I get to see it and if I want to install how do I keep all the wonderful stuff on it already. This is my wifes and not mine so she will get pissed off if she loses everything on it again?

unless it got market, gmail and syncing support, its not like its meant to be yet..
and honeycomb will not appear as display is just 1024x600, so no chance of a google certification for folio100 here, same as with gapps support. so forgot toshiba solving that..
Saw people got honeycomb running on nook color with the same resolution screen... no certification does not mean that is not possible...so we still can have our fingers crossed on that

Just read about the new update and the issues with it. I have my Folio sent in for repair and they always update to the latest firmware before sending back to customer, so it looks like im in deep ****. I know how to use adb and fastboot, use them all the time on my desire hd and my VEGA. Maybe someone could write a good guide on how to flash this old recovery and which of all the rooting procedures that works with the new firmware. I also dont know how to get Folio in fastboot. But if we have a working root we can flash the old recovery or clockwork recovery, is that right? Because if not i might as well throw it away. No use in trying to sell it, no one will buy a useless tablet anyways. HOPING FOR A GUIDE CALLED: HOW TO RESTORE YOUR FOLIO WITH FLASHABLE RECOVERY

Hi guys,
I'm about to pull the trigger on a nc, but need to have skyscape working for it to replace my current archos 101.
I have a link to the apk here, if someone could please install it and see if it runs.
Please also state which Rom you're using.
Cheers, thanks heaps in advance

(Tablet specific version)
Using it on the froyo flashable rom. No problems. Skyscape is the only reason I'm sticking with the froyo rom. Tried it with the CM7 rom but since no device ID is created with this rom, it won't work. The eclair roms won't work as the device ID is created randomly. Skyscape needs a stable fixed ID. I imagine the ID issue with gingerbread will be worked out in the future.

One more thing: When launching Skyscape, you HAVE to be connected via wifi. If not, it will give you the message that the device ID is different or your device is in airplane mode. But once the initial open with wifi enabled, you can use it with wifi off. If you ever reboot, always connect the first time with wifi enabled.
Thanks for the reply.
Have you tried the apk in my opening post?
I think its a tablet specific version as I'm able to use it on my 101 without wifi and without an id. The one from the market for example doesn't work.
Could you please try it and see if it makes a difference?
Cheers

I believe this is the same version I was using. I installed the apk and my paid resources were locked out. It asked me to reinstall the paid resources, but I just am restoring my system instead. Maybe you don't need the wifi to connect for non-paid resources? Your 101 must be generating some ID. Go into the software and click "about." It should show your device ID.
I've just double checked - my archos does indeed generate a stable ID.
However, I do have paid databases on their at the moment and don't need Wi-fi access upon start up... I wonder whats happening?
Do you think they'll fix it in CM7?
Have you tried running Android ID changer (on the market) to set/spoof an android device ID?
I believe the ID problem has been fixed, first by framework patch, and now in the nightlies. The problem is serious enough that I would expect it to most definitely be resolved by the time the Stable release arrives.

I thought it might be giving the problem without wifi because of subscription resources. I bought a four month subscription, so I thought that might be the programs way of checking online first before launching the paid subscription resource. Not sure, though. CM7 does appear to generate a device ID.
My nook is arriving next week
Has anyone had a chance to test skyscape out on the latest CM7 nightlies?
Also you're saying that it doesn't run on rooted stock eclair?

I downloaded the app from the market, created an account. I downloaded the free resources that were available and all seems well. It runs on a full screen.
.Update.....
I did not really read the op very well at first. I uninstalled the market app and installed your apk. Logged into the account that I created and it loaded fine. Actually, instead of 3 resources available for download, I had seven or eight with this version. Looks like it works. This is a great medical database. I am running cm7 nightly 12.
Any way to make it full screen
Is there any way to view skyscape with full screen at nook color? since only a tiny screen appears as if it is in a 3.5inch smartphone

Go to the spare parts app and the option to run older apps in compatability mode. If it is on, toogle off and reboot. If it is off, toggle on and reboot. One or the other sequence works.
Thanks for the update mate
Skyscape is the bomb...especially once you load a few databases on there
Really interested to see if anyone could please try it on autonooted stock 2.1 though, as CM7 while awesome is still not as stable as I'd like at the moment.

Im now trying the froyo that runs off the sdcard but skyscape just crashes- logcat shows the error to be "cannot determine device identification"- I'm guessing my only option is to flash froyo?
EDIT- was using old version- working now!
Or CM7 as it looks to be more stable now
Arggh- just flashed froyo and still skyscape crashes on launch- logcat still lists error as "Cannot determine device identification"- what gives!!! any ideas?

********************************************************************************
I have removed all the files from this post and I encourage everyone to migrate to DizzyDen's superior solution. If for some reason you are unable to use Dizzy's tool you can PM DizzyDen or myself (Martian21) and one of us should be able to get you want you need.
********************************************************************************
[Original Thread]
I have seen several threads regarding this topic and thought I'd try to consolidate as much as I can in one place.
Credit for the original IMEI work goes to mthe0ry His original thread is here.
Because the NOOK Color is not a phone it does not have an IMEI number. This is why some apps that check for an IMEI number do not work on the NOOK.
Thanks to the work of mthe0ry and now DizzyDen it is possible to modify the framework.jar file in order to create a fake IMEI number on the NOOK Color. Doing so will allow programs such as Swype Beta, the free version of the XDA app, HBO GO, and the Xfinity app to work on the NOOK Color.
Unfortunately you need to have a framework.jar file that matches the ROM you are running as changes to the framework between ROMs can (and probably will) cause problems.
[See DizzyDen's thread for the IMEI generator tool]
*** This is mostly obsolete now that Dizzy's tool handles replacing the framework.jar file and backs up your original file - but I will leave it here just in case it is still useful to someone. ***
Installation:
You will need a file manager with Root access such as Root Explorer.
Download the framework.jar file for your Rom.
Unzip the file and transfer the framework.jar file to your NOOK Color.
Navigate to /System/framework using Root Explorer.
Mount the /System/framework folder R/W.
Rename the original framework.jar to framework.jar.bak.
Using Root Explorer, copy the new framwork.jar file.
Paste the modified framework.jar into /System/framework.
Long press the newly copied framework.jar and select "Permissions".
Change the permissions to match framework.jar.bak [rw-r--r--].
Mount the /System/framework folder R/O.
I recommend you reboot your NOOK although resetting the launcher may be enough.
For those that used my original files or the ones from mthe0ry, the original IMEI used in those files is "12-34567-89012-45". If you wish to continue using this IMEI number [NOT RECOMMENDED] you can manually enter it into Dizzy's tool.

I know that nightly 78 was the last nightly that runs on .29 kernel all the new nightlys 80,82,83 and 84 need uboot 1.2 and .32 kernel. I have read that some people have been experiencing problems on these builts. Also being that .32 kernel is still label beta i would like to ask you if you could please make a framework for nightly 78. I have attached the framework file from my nightly 78. Thank you
Finally was able to reboot after copying framework82. Was able to sign in but have yet to play a movie. I get stuck in the spinning circle.

I did a total wipe, stock 1.2 install, then a second total wipe before n82. I then added the modded framework and HBO GO worked really well! But, after adding Dal's 5/13 OC, I then got the spinning circle problem you describe.
I tried re-flashing just n83 to fix it (without Dal's OC), and re-installing the modded framework, but the spinning circle problem remains.
I can't say for sure that the OC kernel broke it -- it could be one of a dozen apps I installed? -- but it's certainly the leading culprit in my case. The 5/13 OC kernel also appeared to break a few of my other apps as well (360 Live failed too, but started working again after I returned to vanilla n83).
I'm going to start the entire process over again tonight to try and narrow down the problem...
I have the 5/13 OC installed but HBO GO is now working on my Nook. Just need to uninstall and reinstall HBO GO. Worked like a charm for me.

I do appreciate your warning (and, as always, all your hard work), but Dal came out and stated plainly that an IMEI solution would not get added to cm7 builds, so the rest of us took his word for it and had to solve the problem some other way.
Now, if you're saying that the solution WILL be built into one of the next few nightlies -- with unique IMEI's -- then that's fantastic!!
However, without it, there's currently no other way to run HBO GO, Swype, etc -- unless we compile our own framework.jar... which isn't an option for some of us noobs.
Has work already begun on a better solution?

This is great news!!!
I will cease and desist as soon as it it completed. Obviously the best thing would be for people to follow mthe0ry's instructions and do this themselves (it's really not that hard) using their own unique IMEI number. That said I'm happy to continue the "hack" method for those who don't wish to do it themselves.
Yes, having multiple devices with the same IMEI could become problematic but so far it's worked for the apps people want. I do appreciate the warning as I probably wasn't as clear about the "hack" nature of this in the OP as I should have been.

please disregard below. in reading the thread better I can see it's not for swype at all but for setting the nook up with an IMEI.
I don't mean to be rude, but why not just use slide-it? I'm cognisant of the simplicity of swype as I use it daily on my Galaxy S, but slide-it is nearly as good and works without fault on the nook (rooted stock and CM7) without any mods.

Concerns about unique devices make me wonder... I have a broken HTC Kaiser sitting on a shelf above my desk. It will never again be a functional device, but yet it has it's own unique IMEI.
Does the IMEI alone tell apps anything about what sort of device belongs to the number? If not, then it seems that I could use the IMEI from that Kaiser or the broken G1 I have.
It doesn't seem like these apps know anything about the device from the IMEI alone, given that people have been implementing this fix with no repercussions. That means apps probably don't check any hypothetical IMEI-device info against what's recorded in the build.prop, so this seems like a safe, workable solution for those of us with defective devices on our shelves.
Is there a way to make this work on a ManualNootered nook with 1.2, or does it only work if you have a custom rom.
Thanks
integrate in CM7
could you not ask the maintainers of CyanogenMod to integrate this in the future nightlies?
they would probably welcome the added functionality

Yes!. I flash the phone. Sorry kara but the rom is still too green. In the first hour, the phone reboot one time and freez two times. It is more fast than the official KD4. Very smooth. Recently freez when i copying my music to the phone.Anyway...the phone run like forrest.I feel sorry return to the previous rom but the phone reboot and freez too much.
I hope new versions guys!. Tell me where i can help. Cheers.
OK .But you were too hasty to revert back . **** I wanted to run some tests .Do you have Set CPU .Change governor to Conservative that fixes the reboot cycle.
USB transfer has hitches you say .Hmm very interesting ,but it's a start and we need people to point out bugs .
How you can help : --
1.)Just use this ROM for four hours .
2.)Use SetCPU,Ti backup , and any other busybox based app together .
3.)Shut down the phone and check whether the screen switches off.
4.)Use Link2SD/dta2SD on ext4 partition of SD card
Ok!. I will use the rom more time in the name of justice!!!. Let me install the setcpu and test the "conservative" setting. Thank Kara!!

aside from bluetooth, ive experienced d phone resetting itself after uninstalling a system app thru ti-b. didnt do that before the switch. the same thing goes when i do a group install using easy installer. you also hve to install setcpu first before running easy installer since the phone will hang and reset if you dont.

I specifically created it for people who know to use Odin.
I can post a tutorial but there are serious legal issues involved in publishing the tutorial without the permit of samsung.

Im not sure if Easy Installer uses busybox, sorry.
On the other hand, system apps would include Market, Bookmark and Messaging apps. I normally remove TW and exchange it with ADW Launcher EX.

What freq did u uas default? It seems a little unstable imho.
Thanks again and regards.

667 Mhz since three days . Never crashed and lets be honest .I have a standard 30 app test(I use only 30-40 apps regularly ).If those 30 apps work then the phone seems to work for me.I cant test all 100000 apps on the phone you know !!!
As a matter of fact I just uninstalled Twlauncher and Samsung apps .No hitch noticed !!!
Understood.
I wonder why mine occasionally resets when I perform those I mentioned earlier.
Overall, I'm happy and satisfied save for the bluetooth feature. Thanks again

I have a rough idea of what has happened.It is a serious bug ..WIll have to push the release of 0.4 forward .
I'll try to perform a data/cache wipe once I get home and redo my system app settings.
Will report as soon as possible.
Hey there folks,
I'm a global moderator from MadTeam and working on the development of the ICS, first specialized just for Galaxy 5 and now is a great site for news and other cells and tabs development.
So, cutting the crap, this is the new page for the ICS for galaxy 5 on this site, and all the latest releases will be shared here. And here we go:
Thread Updated For Latest Release:
Alpha 3 released
Gapps revised by MadTeam
What is working:
. Audio
. SMS, MMS etc...
. Wifi
. Keyboard
In progress:
Camera and the good rest
How to Install ROM:
. Back Up your current stable ROM.
. Perform data wipe/factory reset.
. Go to Advanced and perform wipe dalvik cache
. Install the CM9 release.
. Install hotfix.
. Wait 5-10 minutes for first boot to complete (odexing).
Hotfix
UPDATE:
I fixed the issues with alpha 3 fixed and,
No orange flashs on the screen anymore, I've added a new kernel, framework and other things, so no need to install alpha 1 now
FOLLOW THE INSTALL GUIDE STEP BY STEP,

Thanks for this!
If you need help with testing the rom then send me a message whenever, my G5 is just collecting dust so I might as well get some use out of it, I honestly don't care if it breaks as the warranty has ran out anyway.

thanks for the update
but your download link at the end of first post is not working can you pls fix that
Tested
I didn't read the part about the exploding phone correctly or i would never have done it!
Startup was just the screen flashing bright yellow rapidly for about 30 seconds and then going dark. If you touched the screen or buttons then the display would activate and you can see it for a moment. I managed to get through the setup wizard to the main screen, the app drawer and access the rom manager app. Then rebooted into recovery from the home screen and restored my phone to cm7 1.9.
Amazing that i (on some level) had ics running on my phone Well done guys!
cmw was different too, it had a ***go back*** option at the bottom of each additional screen.
Exactly same here.
It have the *go back* button cuz is a cwm 5.2.7 based.
You must follow the guide correctly.

Thread updated no orange screen anymore.
installation problems
Installed the fix fine but clockworkmod displays an error when flashing mad rom apps. Had no problem with gapps previously so suspect fix.

It works but is no more usable than previous version of alpha.
We do all appreciate the hard work though hyztname so keep at it
What i want is to play with some new features and show off to my friends but i suppose that's what beta is for
Too impatient.

Yeah you are right,
But we all have to start from the small part.
Thx for the appreciation.
I can share with you a simple and minimal Android rom that could make the ace completely usable in 2018... Would you be interested?
I think that the best idea is to use Android 2.3 as base (no bloatware, no TouchWiz, and no Android 4.4 that just crazily drains battery)
I' ve tested less known apps that can still run on 2.3 (and found them very fast too). I will replace old system apps with them
I also thought that a good way to push the Ace beyond it's limit is to take a look at the Sony Xperia Play threads on xda. This phone has the same cpu/gpu and it has been supported a lot through the years (being a gaming phone, Devs has done their best to optimize performance instead of themes and useless functions)
Let me know what you want to see in this rom and I'll try to do it!
Just leave a comment with an advice :fingers-crossed:
----------UPDATE--------------------------
I'm creating a NEW/Better thread for my Rom, subscribe to this one to stay tuned!

Hi tiger! Thank you!
Would you also be interested in testing the first release of the rom?
If the project will be appreciated I' ll work on next releases even more (I could recompile the rom from source, we could change the kernel, choose more in depth oprimizations ecc)
P.S. Which are the best and last roms you installed on your ace?
New rom? Great!
Would you be interested?

I could buy an Ace only to test that rom.

Hello.
I'm interested too. I recover from dust my old Galaxy Ace II (GT-S5839i), but it is very limited in memory right now. There is no easy way to extend memory with an SD card.
Some apps are not supported on the old Gigerbread 2.3.6 (Whatsapp will not have any update anymore). I was not aware of the "4.4 draining battery probelm"

Hi jaymor,
Regarding 4.4 :
the 4.4. battery consuption problem is caused by Jellybean itself. Devs that made 4,4 roms made a wonderful job, but the the ace hardware doesn't have enough power to work on a so new new/heavy os.
Regarding Whatsapp :
I don't see any reason to don't use WA on Android 2.3
1) they stopped updating it just 4 months ago (I don't know if you have the latest version)
2) they aren't adding new features, and the most important one that is messages criptografy is supported on 2.3
3) WA does nothing else that increasing in size with each version, and you just tell us how limited storage could be annoying on old devices
Regarding GT-S5839i
I checked its specs, it seems to have 158mb of rom and support for micro-sds up to 32gb. Using a custom rom you shouldn't worry about memory.
Unfortunately you can't flash my rom (it's for s5830) I'll surely make a rom also for this device if I had a device for testing it, but first of all I have to complete this rom
Hi Mich-C.
I agree with you : Whatsapp work for now on 2.3, but they announced (I cant post link in XDA, but search Google for "WhatsApp-support-for-mobile-devices" ) it will not work anymore in 2020. Same for Symbian and iOS 6 (and old dino-smartphone).
Not a big deal, but if I could refurb this phone to my kids for free, it will be cool.

ok thanks
but did you know that this is not an actual Lollipop rom? It's a rom themed to look like lollipop. It was posted here on the forum, if I'm not wrong it's based on cm7.1 (so Android 2.3)

Ok, anyway we still have almost 2 year to keep using whatsapp. I hope that until then it will be replaced by something else.
I would also recompile those apks to make them working on 2.3, but apps like Whatsapp (or even Telegram) are not opensource...
sheinbo said:
Mmhh, not sure... "About Phone" shows 'Android 5.0' . I never used lollipop so I cannot verify whether it is a lookalike or a ROM. Here in the forums I did not find it, maybe you had " conceptL' in mind? That one was posted here indeed as far as I remember. And that one is a CM 7.1

The showed android version can be modified by the dev.
The name of the author is probably hidden in settings or in the easter egg (touch 7 times "about phone")
Last "actual" android version that was developed fo ace is kitkat

Click to expand...

Well, it's a very nice rom but I find useless to fuse both the look of iOS and LineageOS on a CyanogenMod rom, it would be better If he just made a pure iOS or LineageOS looklike rom.
I like the fact that he didn't install GApps and the full Facebook app, I won't include them too in my rom too! (I'll try to do it without losing features)
My rom should also be faster than this one, or at the least I hope so
@Mich-C haven't you shared your ROM eventually? I'd be interested too.
Hi @Erpinoob
I'm sorry for making you and other users wait, the reasons are
1)I'm busy for the university
2)Recently I got a boot-loop I'm going to fix
3)I don't want to release 99999 versions of the rom
4)I'm including several "old" tools for android 2.3, often links are not working and so I'm still waiting for developers to provide me new links
4)I'm learning how to develop apps in Android Studio at the university, and I'm taking advantage of this creating 2-3 exclusive apps for my rom
I hope to finish the rom after christmas holidays, anyway I'll tag in the post all those who left a comment in this thread
Greetings
