Accelorometer not Working in Many Games. - HD2 General

On xtrakt the accelerometer is broken, any registry tweaks to fix this? Many of my games are doing this!
Games that have full screen support for the HD2 (800 x 480) have accelerometer settings but the phone will not react to the movements.
Thanks for all your help and fast replies.
(Apologies if this has previously answered, I dont mean to clot up the Q&A )

have you tried bsb tweaks?

Just added it to the rotation.
Enabled rotation and its still not working.

Any help guys?
Please

Perhaps its a problem with the ROM?
Using Energy May 28th GTX Themed

it's true that the Accelorometer on the HD2 sucks. It doesn't work correctly with games such as Need for Speed, Xtrax,...racing games in particular. The Touch Pro 2 works much better. I have tried all ROMs, even reversing back to stocks Rom. It sucks because I'd like to play racing game on HD2 ...like the ipad. I have also tried all short of tricks. It's not the rotation that broken, it's the Gsensor not being sensitive enough.

HD rarely uses landscape mode

Folks,
I only got my baby yesterday, but is anyone else finding this?
For me, the device will only switch to landscape mode for Opera, Photos & Videos, and Teeter. Not in TouchFlow 3D Home or any of its tabs, Mobile Office apps, TomTom 7, ...anything!
I've tried turning off Touchflow 3D and rebooting with no effect and with the G-Sensor there is no manual setting to force landscape.
This makes the keyboard in TomTom tiny and means that the screen isn't that much more usable for Office apps than my venerable old 2.8" TyTn.
Please could someone tell me if it's just my phone that's afflicted or is it a "feature"?
Thanks!

no thats totally normal. and known since the first infos of the HD came out.
If you really want full landscape switching, get Gyrator2 or Gsen. both can be found on this forum
It doesn't help you, JTHM, but I hardly ever use landscape mode in my Touch (Elf) so perhaps the way the Touch HD works is by design for people like me. The only time landscape mode offers any advantage to me is for photos, videos and web browsing. With the mini USB connector at the bottom, my Touch is always in its cradle in portrait orientation and it sits in the car more easily this way too.
I'm surprised there's no manually-activated landscape option in the software though.
(Sorry that this post doesn't really help you but perhaps it illustrates that for some (maybe most?) users the lack of landscape isn't a problem at all and may therefore be by design.)
Hang on, can I clarify.
I like to use my xda2i in landscape with my bluetooth travel keyboard sometimes. Does this mean that i can't just rotate the screen to landscape and use it in landscape mode with my keyboard??

I think that raziel1 has already answered that question? Use Gyrator2 or Gsen both of which can be found in this forum.
It does seem to be missing a trick by not have some software button built in to switch the screen though.
I had one flaw with the HD: The typing. I wanted (like Iphone) to use the keyboard in landscape so i had more room for my fingers. But the HD doesn't do that standard.
I installed Gyrator 2 and set it to switch to landscape when i use my keyboard. In every application, now when I use my keyboard and tilt the device, the screen rotates.
It made my HD even better.
Which is better? Gsen or Gyrator? I know they have other features but I only want an app to rotate landscape and uses minimal memory as I guess it needs to be running on start up.
ok, gyrator is a PROGRAM. I thought it was another handset or something. oh as long as there is soemthing you can do te get the landscape working that's sweet for me. I'm really close to buying one of these beasts!
I'm surprised that TomTom doesn't rotate automatically.
I've sure I've seen screen shots of it in Landscape mode and wouldn't have thought those web site's had installed any other third-party screen orientation software.
Beards.
You can also purchase Resco keyboard. It has large keys that you can use with your fingers. Well that depends how big your fingers are. Best to download a copy of the program, install it and test it out.
And since the screen is 3.8, it should give you plenty of space on top to see your message?

has anyone tried this?
I'd like to see a full landscape keyboard, but can't find any pics/vids if u could try, and post it I'd be most appreciative.
best regards
you can use gsen
look here

yeah, after another reboot it's working now. tried it in a couple apps and seems fine so far... funny thing is with the streaming video app, when you go to fullscreen it auto rotates the screen, but as soon as you move the hd to landscape position gyrator rotates it again... will need to check out the docs on how to add exceptions.

HW Accelerated NFS Not Working - Solution Thread

Hey,
Due to the other NFS Hardware accelerated G-Sensor thread becoming cluttered with links and people comparing it to iPhone version, I have raised this thread.
Please can people post possible solutions to the various errors people get. I, for one, get a black screen and non-responsive phone right after the NFS UNDERCOVER screen after it asks if I want sound.
I've also had the no memory error on another ROM.
The strange thing is it worked on the original drivers, changed to ATI and it stopped working. Changed back - still not working. Reinstalled the ROM (hard reset) and STILL not working.
Solutions please, along with the problems that are solved with that solution.
Cheers!
Omnia drivers
Try Omnia 3d Drivers ;-)

Thanks for the suggestion but I really don't think this is a good idea. For one, the Omnia drivers have already been tried and they are in relation to Direct3D-accelerated apps/games etc so it is not applicable to an OpenGLES-accelerated game such as NFS Undercover. Secondly, it has been found that in the case of D3D, the Samsung drivers have done better than the native software rendering drivers provided by HTC. However, the best drivers for the Diamond and other HTC phones with such a Qualcomm MSM7201A 528Mhz chipset is that the ATI ones are hardware-accelerated D3D drivers, and hence are the best for D3D. Not OGLES.
Some off-topicness, but some clarifications so others don't fall in the same pitfalls.
I think the real problem lies in the differences between the original HTC ROM and cooked ROMs. If we can figure out what specific difference is causing the black screen (I have it too), then we can figure out a solution quick enough. Hopefully.
Strange thing is - i've had it working on cooked roms. It was only after i changed to ATI drivers did it stop working.
Also, as I said, when I re-installed the same ROM (hard-reset) it wasnt working again.
Needless to say I'm completely confused!
Thanks for the clarification though Nuke, didn't know that!
nuke1 is 100% right... I'm also 100% sure that the ATI drivers does nothing to improve the performance in NFS Undercover since it's an OpenGL ES game.
The ATI drivers are D3D drivers.

After trying with several rooms and several ways (Cab extraction, cab instalation, etc) it worked with the MAcadam v1.2 when i extracted it and transfered to the storage. I don't know why also, but others cooked rooms didn't worked. Trying to foun out cause i want it to work on my own rom...
Found a way to fix it
Enable TF3D!
Any idea why enabling Touch3d would make the game work?
Down point about this : TF3D stops the fone going into landscape so cant play in landscape :-( But still works!
Need to see if anyone has an answer!
My recent experience with the black screen - it didn't work using Shep's WM6.5 until I enables TF3D2. Something about the G-sensor drivers with HTC versus the native WM6.5. I tried removing video drivers, adding drivers. For me, it all boiled down to the g-sensor. Cooked roms might be hit and miss based on what the chefs do with the g-sensor stuff.
In my case it just doesn't work. I use standard HTC ROM, I disable TF3D to get extra memory, and everything, but I just can't get pass the black screen that freezes my phone completely, so I have to soft reset. This only happens in G-sensor version. Other one, with on screen comands runs with no problem. It would just be much better to control the car with tilting. Tried to look for solution several places, but no one seems to know the solution to this one. Looks like no NFS for me
I am using XBMOD Manila Rom, in that it was working excellently
where do you guys get nfs i've looked for it but it says its not for diamond
can someone post a link?
you have to buy it.It's not free.Or if you want you can download the trial version
Yes i no that but i cant find the correct one there supoosively 2

XTRAKT 3D game

I found this on the Blackstone forum, seems to work very well on the TP2. Impressive graphics and very responsive. Beets solitaire anyway.

Nothing beats solitaire! It is a good game though, shame it doesnt work with GSensor
nice thanks
hm.. i'm having trouble getting this game to run...
All i get is a white screen and then it dumps back to the today screen.
Am I missing 3d drivers or something?
nevermind... needed a restart. thanks
no installation
Tried to install the game on my Pro2, but it continuously says that the installation failed to succeed. Anybody has an solution? Thanks in advance
Excellent, I didn't realise we even had a 3D chip in the phone, it's a really nice smooth game.
Mine is working without problems (also using on my previous Touch HD). Just make sure that other applications should be closed due to big RAM consume of Extract running.

P. S. Have you tried NFS Undercover? Working perfectly full screen and using G- Sensor...amazing...
Love this game! It's great and works just fine!
Anyone know any other games besides Xtract and NFS UC?

Please help - Ferrari GT Evolution WVGA v1.0.1 G-Sensor doesn't work

I had downloaded the Ferrari GT: Evolution WVGA v1.0.1 and installed on my HD2. The game is only working with screen taps, but the G-Sensor doesn't work. It is said to work with G-Sensor but I haven't found a way to enable it. How can I enable the G-sensor on my HD2?
Thanks in advance for any help!
i've had the same issue, unfortunately i never found a fix.
someone recently pointed me to HTC G-Sensor Config but the app only controls screen orientation
Same here. Unplayable in G.sensor mode. got fed up and deleted the game.
