Hi,
I have just received this tablet and it sucks.
But I paid much money for it and it took a very long time for it to arrive, so I just want to give it a try.
It runs android 2.3.4, but it has no android market. I managed to install the Market APK, but to my surprise, there was no way to add a google account, so I can use the market. Anybody knows how to accomplish this?
Second, I want to root this sucker. I tried SuperOneClick 2.3.3, but when I put the device in debug mode and connect it to the pc, it does not search for drivers, even though I have the android SDK installed. Anybody???]
Plus, if anybody has this device too, please share your experiences and maybe one day we have a developer willing to make a ROM for it.
I also have just received this tablet, I am a bit disappointed too (for the display quality actually), but I am trying to understand what I can make out of it.
I installed some versions of Google Market (and also the GoogleServices) but its seems unable to connect with my account. Will search some more if I can find some way to have it working, this post was just to let you know that there is also somebody else in your situation.
As always, any suggestion/step forward shared is more than welcome.
Bye

Hey I managed to install the Market and GoogleAccount and have them working.
I installed the gapps packages found at this url and they seem to work: (I cannot post links so please remove the spaces from the address below)

I have a ROM that is built for the GADMEI T863. It already has Market cooked in as well as some other tweaks.
I shared it on my google account.

Just unpack and copy the four items to the root of the sd card. Turn off the tablet. Hold volume up en power button to begin flashing.
Nice dude... you scared me a little when I realized that it has chinese as the default language but I managed to set english quite easily.
Thank you!!!
Thanks!!!
You save my device. My internal sd was corrupted and i've tried a lot of solutions without success. Flashing this rom repair it.
allright, more users with this particular device.
Question, is the wifi on your's slow? My wifi is terrible. I can only get about 1mb/s a second. My router is a Linksys E4200 and my internet is cable 120mb/s.
It is slow with this frimware, the old firmware and the new (official firmware), no matter what.
Please share your thoughts.
My top speed is 1284 kbps with a line with 30mb/s very slow

Hi everybody,
Happy to find some users of this tablet. I'm really satisfied by this stuff. The 3D effect is nice and the performances barely good. I've put on the back a door hinge to create a kickstand
I rooted my device thanks to two little things : PdaNet to get a generic driver, then DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
@hyellow : Thank you very much ! Where did you get this rom ? I'm curious to know the modifications provides by this rom, and i would to follow his evolution

I found the ROM on facebook. It is a dual device facebook page, because it is also offering roms for the GADMEI T820.
http://www.facebook.com/GadmeiT820
there is also this chinese forum, from GADMEI themselves.
http://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://bbs.gadmei.com/forum.php
Thanks.
This rom is great, finally my Google account and better performances in the system and 3D player. 'm Waiting for the next version
Does anyone see in the 3D mode strange rainbow-like color effects? Is it a low-quality panel or is it my device that has problems?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
today all cheap panels 3d glasses-free are low quality with rainbow colors and duplicates.
Best view at 50cm distance with low tilt in the y axis, when you stop to see the rainbow effect is the optimal distance-tilt, best with a solid color foreground in the movie.
I got one 2 weeks ago from BRANDO.
I don't think it's expensive, the 200 $ get exact change to euros, so it's 160 euros with delivery included.
The hardware is Ok, not the best but quite reasonable. And the glasses free display really works with the included video and photo players. The screen is HD-ready resololution and the video works quite well with every format I have tried.
On the bad side: the screen gets scratched easyly just by using it. It comes with very little documentation in chinese and just a few apps installed and some more on the internal SD, included a chinesse market. The construction looks a bit cheap and the plastic back makes sounds when you catsh it.
Still haven't tried to root it, with the Android Market installed surely will get more from it. Does anyone know if there is a chance we could upgrade it to Honeycomb or Icecream?

yes, it has the 3d player. But make a backup of the 3d content (movies and pictures). because, that is not included.
Does anyone know if there is an SDK to activate 3D mode?
LG and HTC have them for their phones. I assumed this device only needed the image to be vertically interlaced, but it appears something needs to switch on for the parallax barrier to activate.
thanks

Trying to install this rom,
It boots to the sd install screen and gives an error
E.Bad Boot Loader Arguments "(null)"
E.unkown volume for path [/udisk/factory_update_param.aml]
E.Can't mount /udisk/factory_update_param.aml]
anyone know what this is?
have you put the extracted files on to the internal or external sd card?
It might not make any difference, but i put it on the external sd card.
Be sure to extract the rar file and copy it to the sd card.

ok, these are the two versions that we have been playing with.
version 4_05_29446 (titan original) is camera 1
version 5_07_28987 (vouge original) is camera 2
no need to move any files to the windows folder like the earlier versions. these versions run within the folders they create (program files\camera1 and program files\camera2).
each version will have it's own icon in the programs list and each version can be set to a hard ware key.
bottom line.... now you can have both camera's installed on your device at the same time. just in case you dont know which one you want to keep.
Now we're talking. Nice work Cody. I'll install these since you made it easier.
thanks for the cabs....so i tried it, and well, i could see no difference. thanks though...anyone else see a difference?
ok ill ask the MILLION dollar question!
DO WE GET THE FLASH WITH THE TITAN original cam cab???
well wait 5min and ill answer my own question
Can these be made into updated OEM's for the cookers?
Thanks Codyppc
One thing you might want to add to your original post
-Program must be installed in internal memory.
I loaded camera 2 (Vogue), did a soft reset just in case, and then took two identical pictures without flash. (I used the same White balance for both - I think it was the halogen WB)
Can't tell much difference between the two... The pictures look pretty much identical.
Might try to test it with different settings. But if they do take similar pics I'll probably just stick with the Titan stock camera because of flash option.
Can you please make a general cab for us non Mogul and Titan owners?

it is a general cab. should be able to install on all ppc's.
this doesn't remove the original camera. you will find the camera's in the program llist and be able to then assign it to a hardware button.
yes the flash works on the version 4_05_29446 (titan original) , camera 1

Sorry for the bad news.
hey this worked out great.. excellent CAB package. thank you.
i'm really disappointed at how badly the camera sucks on this phone. my daughters Moto Krazr is considerably better in all aspects - color, sharpness, everything..
so i installed camera2.cab.. soft reset. perfect.. i like the interface better than the stock camera. seems much less cluttered and easier to use.
i'll post my comparison pics below. (edited for size....image_10 and 11 is stock, image001 and 0002 is Camera2)
I don't know if i can tell TOO much difference.. still a D- in my book, either way. if anything, camera2 seems to take the hazyness away, and tends to represent colors a TAD better.
(and yes, the Candela flashlight WILL turn off, just before the shutter releases)
yes, there is no flash. but here is the interesting thing, if anyone can comment.
you CAN run have both of these cameras in your program folder no problem. launch 'Camera', then close, then launch 'Camera2'.. each work independent of themselves.
BUT - if i run regular stock 'camera', it actualy removes the flash completely.. in otherwords, the on screen icon for the flash is just simply gone. all other control buttons are there, and where they should be (Focus, brightness, etc.. ), but the FLASH button is gone...
so i was kinda disappointed in that.. i know Camera2 is not flash capable, but i would have liked to keep it on my device to take regular day shots, and still have the option of using camera1, IF i need a flash..
so i un-installed camera2, did a soft reset, and viola - flash button is back on 'camera'..
so all in all, stupendous work crafting this cab, and ensuring it didn't rape my system when i installed it.. equally smooth in the un-install.
not sure which one i'll go with in the long run.. but for now, i'll keep camera2 uninstalled.
great work
I was trying to get this to work my self...you got ahead of me...
Thanks...saved me a bunch of time wasting!!

You need the latest radio.
Un7zip the files to your sd card. Should be a Class 6.
Boot windows and run Haret.exe. Up pops a penguin!
I stole all of this, so thanks belong elsewhere.
Also they need devs to bring this to a rom. If you can help you already know what to do.
Perhaps those of us that 'want', but cannot help can fund a bounty?
What works, what doesn't? Which build? Any screenshots?
just download the package and run haret, and see.
Everything works but camera for me. right now I am working on using this for voip. Very funny to have an unlimited cell for ~10$ a month, or less...
It's not a rom, you just copy it to your sd card and run it inside WinMo. It is so easy to see for yourself I didnt jazz up the post. reset and you boot into WinMo
Working pretty decent on my WM6.5 by Ryan Mogul ROM on Page Plus network (verizon). Calls/SMS/Browsing/youtube/keyboard (both hard and soft) all worked. A few times applications would hang momentarily, and a couple times I had to instruct android to "wait" or "force close" (wait always worked)
I will use it all weekend and see how if I am able to use it full time.
A couple of questions for anyone who can answer:
1) How do I check available RAM?
2) Is it possible switch back to WM 6.5 without turning the phone off?
3) How do you quit an application in Android? Is there any type of task manager?
Because a reader asked, android version is 1.5
Works very well, I have been running it all weekend. I switched out the zImage for one that has the screen rotation corrected. Disable the touch input and android keyboard input, hardware keyboard only works great with less FC's. Switched wallpaper to the grey image. GPS and Bluetooth work, but sadly still no camera or wifi. At least for me. Market also works very well.
I think we could be off to a great start!
Who has any camera or wifi experience with our hardware?
Hey now, give a link to the zimage fix! Better yet zip up your stuff and share it!
freenode has an #htc-Linux They might know about the hardware.
Here you go! I have also made a few changes to the defalut.txt and associated user.conf files.

Loaded this on my Sprint Mogul, looks good. Is there a list for defining which hardware keys preform what actions?
What is the button(s) to press to shutdown the phone?
I just tried this on my xv6800.. I can't get any ringtones to work on it. Camera does crash the phone. but it did sync my contacts and calander from work Only need to get ringtones working.. but i'm about ready to buy a droid..
.nbh file?
Is there a zImage (or preferably *.NBH) file for the Titan available anywhere?
Something analogous to the .NBH file described at item 6 of the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636024
I want to try and use the process described in that post, but need a proper .nbh file (zImage) to do so.
Yes, I have used search, so pointers to a URL would be much appreciated.
I have a question for those of you who have tried it. My phone does not show notifications and Marketplace does not actually download anything on my phone. I can send SMS and look at emails, however, so I know the internet works. Anyone else having this problem? It runs very well despite these two things.

I read the first post. In fact, the entire thread.
The first post references files to load Android off SDCard, but no guidance on how to load Android off internal memory (i.e., REPLACING WinMo, per the link I referenced). Hence, my reference to the link (so that those who would read my question would click the link and understand what I am asking).
Although I appreciate the fact that you took the time to respond, I don't find myself after having read your response any closer to resolving my issue of trying to load Android onto Mogul internal memory (as they are now currently doing with the Vogue). Any guidance you could provide in that regard would be much appreciated.

There is a zImage in every bootable android package, Including the one in the first post. I do not believe there are any ROMs for the Titan at this point, although work is ongoing.

Thanks to both LargePrime and jrgii for their prepacks for this phone.
I was very eager to try this out after searching quite a bit, and this made it rather straight forward.
I loaded jrgii's as he mentioned it corrected the screen flip issue. Only thing is that it is super slow and has no audio on my phone.
any suggestions on the sound? I have downloaded the overclocker to see if it helps the speed issue. (maybe its the memory card?)
I can't wait for wifi support. I imagine the data charge$ are not going to be nice using the android features without wifi.
ok, back to play around some more!
One last Q for those who want the rom version. why? As far as I understand (maybe naively) loading off of SD still bypasses winmo so that your resources are used solely on android os. Besides, with the current builds for this phone, you would then be left w/o the bt/wifi/cam features unless you reflash back again, whereas the sd method you can simply reboot.
I realize that I am the newbiest on here (have just been reading until now, and finally registered so I could post here to thank these guys) All I ask is, if you know any answers to help me and care to reply, I do greatly appreciate it.
Until then, I will keep searching and reading hopefully useful and not outdated info.
Thanks!
Did you try the package I found?
I downloaded it, but did not try running it, as one of your posts indicated the screen flip issue. I will give it a shot. thanks!
Also, do you overclock your htc as well? And if you do, what program do you use/ do you launch it from android or linux?
I'll let you know how I make out with your pack
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.

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 ?

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:

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.
I am about to receive my new archos 101 later this week. I am reading the forums, and so far i have gathered i will need to put android 2.2 on it, and also the android market. what other tweaks should i do when i get it? Apps i need to know about? This will be the first android i have owned so i do not know where to begin.
If there is a thread that addresses this question, please point me in the right direction. my search didn't come up with much as to a list of things that are essential to getting the most out of the archos 101. thanks!
You should start getting some pills for dissapointment

Why would you be disappointed?
I had my archos 101 since November 2010 and I was never disappointed with it.
Its a matter of how you use your device.

For my Archos 70, when I'm at home I have the screen brightness set to low. When I'm out in the sun I have to turn the brightness up all the way.

Agreed. I've been very happy with my 101. And I tried several popular alternatives before this. Like the Viewsonic, Nook color, Huewii/Ideos S7, and some knock off chinese clone. The 101 beats them all.
thanks :-D
any news on what i need to do once it is out of the box? On my touch pro 2 it took me forever to realize that the first thing to do was flash a custom rom and other tweaks like OC'ing it. any thing i should do to the archos 101?
well...plug it in and charge it...
If you want root and ability to OC, etc...I think you need to jump down to the UrkDroid threads. I'm very happy with stock and hoping for some way to root it. If you don't upgrade the stock I think z4root works though...as well as some additional codecs, but then you are on Eclair. Upgrade brings Froyo. Can't give you much advice beyond that...just load the market apk and start installing stuff.

Check out this thread over on forums archos fans .com . I found a lot of good tips here. (i dont have enough post yet to post an external link.) but under the top thread gen 8 devices there is a post titled newbie tips, and some general set up info.
Something that i have done to really help is upgrade to froyo, then go into the power management and set it to over drive. yes i kills the battery faster, but it seems more responsive. also a new launcher program helps too. i am currently using one called zeam.
I'd say get market, a launcher (adw, launcherpro, zeam) and if you are comfortable with linux, the urukdroid hack. i was a little disappointed with the laginess of my 70 at first, mostly the media scanning but the SDE and Uruk make me jealous of no tablet.
got it today, this thing is nice. i am sitll getting used to android though. I cant get it to access my windows shares though, i input my username/password correctly and it cannot connect...
also, how do i get the codecs on here? must i really pay for them?

Can't help ya with the shares, but you could try removing security from them for a bit and make sure you can connect. That's just basic troubleshooting.
With regards to codecs, probably not. It comes default with a lot of stuff and I can play almost every video/audio file I have. Only a few needed to be converted. Very few statistically speaking. I think the ones you buy are very specific. So try what you have first.
I've not had to download any codecs. The handfull of videos I have watched worked fine.
Zeam Launcher is a must for me. Fastest Launcher I have seen. Love it so much I put it on my Droid X and my wifes Droid2.
Market and Appbrain is a must as is Flash 10.1. Don't forget to do the "Market Fix" to get all the market apps to show up. Forget the stock keyboard as its a laggy POS. Swype does not work at all but Slideit works great. Well worth the price for the amount of hair you will rip from your head trying to get the stock keyboard to register your inputs.
thanks guys! i will look for the market fix soon as i have noticed a few apps are missing. including zeam.
Also, i cannot figure out how to tether this thing to my wm6.5 tilt 2.
i have always been able to tether windows machines, and i can even make a wireless network with it. however, the archos doesnt find my wireless router network, and when i connect it through usb or bluetooth it asks me for APN and username/password which i have no idea what they are.
any ideas?

I did get mine to tether to my touch pro 2. I had to use blue tooth and for sprint the apn is internet.com ( a quick google search should turn up other carriers) user id and password are usually blank.
I'd say autostarts with Archangel is a nice tweak stupid email app always loads at boot wasting precious milliseconds of my life
Hello guys,
I have been reading this forum for quite a while and found a lot of useful information here.
So, first of all thank you to all the guys who put some hard work in developing those programs to make our lives and our smartphones better!
So here goes nothing. Just got this LG Optimus LTE phone some days ago.
And it is packed full with apps I don't need and that Docomo prevents us to remove them. Thanks to this the batteries goes bye bye even faster than expected.
So I would love to get root access to get full control.
like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376233&page=6
I read some threads, followed some methods -like 4 or 5 different ones- but nothing worked so far... Anyone who had success in that matter?
Really want to get an Optimus LTE (L-01D) but need to know I can root it first.
type this URL in your browser: i can't post links yet. logsoku.com/thread/anago.2ch.net/smartphone/1324176244/
these guys seemed to have tried everything. Scroll to #45, doesn't look like the Japanese version can be rooted.
they tried a bunch of things as well but to no avail.
I'm just curious, but the reason why I want to root it is so that I can get the nook app on it so I can read. I was able to use VPN to download apps on my HTC Desire HD, but when i got the Arrows Tab LTE, i wasn't able to use VPN to get the Nook app. is it possible with the Optimus?

I don't use this app, so that would be a tough question to answer.
Thing is, since docomo pretty much installed and configured the phone as they liked -with a crappy Home, slow as hell, that can be changed though- I am wondering if they would charge you extra for tethering.
They might have installed something to check on that. But this is just a random guess.
After a lot of research, I found this thread:
h t t p : / / houchi.net/products/l01-root
I tried and I successfully managed to root my phone following the instructions.
Heads up, it's all in Japanese BUT, if you just download the archive file and read the content of the files at the root of the folder with a text editor, you can just copy/paste the different instructions to make it work.
If it's too much trouble for some people, contact me and I will try to put the instructions somewhere else in english and with the Mac version of command line (really the same as for Linux).
Did not have time to have fun with it yet, but I removed some of the crap that the carrier bundled with the phone.
I will still have to look why it takes forever to start comparing to a Galaxy S for example (4 minutes is way too long...).
i tried and not successfully, only install Supper Use. You can explain for my by English, more more details
superuser wont work without root, try gingerbreak?
