Hello,
can anyone tell me, how I can calibrate the g sensor with HD2/MAGLDR/CWM? I'm using Typhoon CM7 as OS. I've read something about fastboot, but I can't figure out how to enter it in my case. Would be happy, if someone can help me on that. For example I can't properly play Asphalt 5/6 - I always have to bend my phone right to drive straight ahead and that happens to be kinda annoying.
the calibration goes atomatically when you flash it so maybe that there is an app for it out then on the market but i'm not sure
Mh, then it did calibrate wrong. I need an app or something to calibrate it manually. I've already flashed my phone like 10 times and the calibration never was right.

I might very well be way off, but without reading anything about it, my instincts were to place the phone onto a level surface (confirmed using a level), then clicked on the calibrate button.
Might I have misinterpretted its function?
Thanks for your answer, but my problem is that I can't find any option or button to calibrate the G-Sensor. With the original Windows OS there was an option, but I can't find any in Android. Either I'm blind or you need to enter some special boot mode to calibrate. Doesn't anyone know? I don't think no one has calibrated the G-Sensor in Android yet?
You cannot calibrate in non sense roms. However there is an old thread which talks about editing AK8973Prms.txt file in /data/misc. I use this technique and it seems to work. I am not at home but search on the filename should bring it up.
Edit: here is the link.

Thank you! This should do it for me.
I have downloaded an app from market called 'Bubble'. It has a calibrate option.

I've found that most apps which have a calibrate function work only within the app not globally across the system. By doing the above all apps which use the g-sensor I.e. games seem to work better.

Just a thought guys, if this isnt already out there which i cant seem to find.
Could anyone make a app that turns the flash light to on so it can
be used as a light?
Seen it done on other phones would just be a nice feature.
We need root for this.
Wait for root to go public, then this will probably follow (I doubt you need write access to /system for it).

Personally I doubt it will be feasible. Too many symbian phones we messed around with for years trying to make it happen, unsuccessfully (in some way or another). Would've been excellent if it was accomplished though. Even just a method to blink the flash on a press would be excellent.

With root it's possible for the Nexus so why not for the Desire. But we still have to wait for the Root acces. Damn waiting takes so long!
This function is built into the Quick Settings app you can get for free in the market isn't it?

Its currently not supported. Just tried it.
Yeah, that option just enables a bright white screen for now.

well it seems to be possible without root access, while I can active the flashlight led with a
echo 125 > /sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness
If I have time, I will make a little widget that will do it

That would be awesome if it's possible, it's pretty much the only feature that I think is missing from the Desire as far as I'm concerned.
Ok I made some tests, it will not be a problem to develop a simple application (would be better than a widget ?) with a variable light power
Great news!
I think, that an application would be enough, since it isn't an often used feature (But VERY usefull when needed )
Looking forward to this!
File in attachment, this is just a "trash code" program, just for you to let me know if this is what you where looking for!
Feedback are welcome
Thanks for the work guys much appreciated.
App works fine
Don't want to sound picky and that, but basically what i was after was the flashlight to use as a light, so just a on / off would be fine! if could make the on as bright as the flash ?
Just wondering, im guessing a lot of this is done in shell script and c?
Just learning C at the moment , doing a forensic computer degree at uni.
Yay! It works On isnt as bright. Would prefer an on/off toggle only. Either a full screen button or starting the actual app will toggle it.
NICE !!! work fine. but ON is not as bright as Flash is ... do something with it, please...
really good, thank you for your work
Yeah cool, it is working great.
The light isn't that bright but it is a good start.
You just need to make it look nicer, add a widget and it is ready for the Market.
Also, I think there is a conflict with the Camera, I tried to take a clip with the light ON but it switched OFF as soon as I opened the camera app.
Possibly the most useful app out there... if only on was full power!!
Nice one though!!
Thx man.. App to use everyday/night ;P.. Do you think it can be little stronger without not burn the led?

Here's the scenario: My 5 year old daughter wants to watch a movie on my Hero. I bring up Madagascar 2 and hand her the phone. 2 minutes later she says the movie stopped because she accidentally touched or swiped the screen.
Is there a way to disable the touchscreen so that whatever program is active doesn't get interrupted? Maybe something like Proximity Sensor, but without having to use the sensor. Or some type of key button combination like Home+Search+Volume Down.
is this a serious question? no you cannot disable the touchscreen.

Yes, it's a serious question. I saw this posted in a WinMo forum:
"If it's a custom app you could get the app to set the sensitivity of the screen in the registry to zero. That should do it. I've not been able to find anything existing though. Not even on Codeproject, which usually has unusual stuff like that. I suspect the Compact Framework doesn't support it so the registry is your best bet."
I'm sure it's possible...just out of my realm. Hell, if someone can make the End Call button disappear to avoid Face Hang Ups, I'm sure someone else could make this happen.

android doesn't have a registry like winmo, ive never heard of anybody being able to disable the touchscreen, nor want to do it in the first place. sorry....
Good idea, but would probably be most practical to have built into a video player app. An Android VLC player would make my year...maybe after DIVX starts hitting more Android handsets this year more versatile players will show up.
the problem with media players is the have to run in a java VM instead of nativley.

Android has a Native development kit available so you can run native C++ code. There is a topic over at the VLC site talking about getting someone to do this - but its REALLY difficult to do it. I thought about it, but I have 0 experience with Media software.
It's my understanding the NDK is a joke a this point. The guys at Coreplayer have been trying to get a full functioning media player for months.

Probably going to have to end up doing what I did with my kid: Tell her if she touches the phone the movie will end...then take it away for the day. Try again the next day. After a day or two she'll get the point. We also found a good spot on a table and in the car to set the phone and told the rugrat not to touch it if he wanted to see the movie. My kid's 8, so that worked. Not sure if you'll have the same results.
Not quite what you're looking I know, but...probably the best you'll get: Train the kid to leave it alone

That is the only way I see it as possible. Android has several running levels for programs. I don't think it is possible for a backgrounded app to take over any functionality of the touchscreen.
Someone would have to write a custom player that doesn't respond to the screen.
For example there is a toddler game app (can't remember the name) that you can only exit by touching a combination of points on the screen. Writing this idea into a kid's player would be a cool app idea.
Any devs out there wanna give this a go?
I would love to be able to rotate my phone in any direction and have the screen flip like on my omnia... I know sense doesn't flip to landscape, thats not a prob, what I really want is to be able to flip the phone upside down and still use it as the correct rotation.
Reason I want to be able to do this is so I can use my phone in the cup holder of my car again, and to do this it must be upside down because of the charger placement... (same as on my Omnia)
Seems a pretty simple request, would be nice if it could auto run and run in the background without using up to much resources to.
If anyone is able to do this, would be awesome.
Thanks
Seconded ... but
I too would like to be able to rotate at least the other way; when showing off the Incredible, people rotate to landscape the other way and nothing happens, so they figure it doesn't rotate. I have to say "no turn it the other way" but it would be great to just not have to think about it.
BUT ... regarding the OP ... I simply took a dremel to the dash mount I bought (the beanbag, since California law doesn't allow sticking to the window in the middle). Carved out enough for a charger, and am done with it
I'd also like to see this. Anyone know the reasoning behind only allowing landscape mode by rotating to the left, and not the right? Even my old BB storm could handle rotation in both directions.
Agreed. This would be useful.

I would think it's because the majority of the world is right-handed and by rotating to the left, the optical track button is on the right side. I could complain because I'm left-handed, but hey at least my phone still has a signal when I hold it in my left hand, unlike other phones out there
This is an option in the cyanogen rom available in the rom manager. If you can look past the few bugs in the rom you can enjoy the 360 degree rotation you are looking for.

My phone aint even rooted yet, for some reason I've tried everything and won't allow me to get into adb recovery... anyways, if it's in another rom, it must be possible, if someone could make this an app!! it would be awesome.
Then we wouldn't have limits as to which rom we would have to use.
...just a thought...

So when i had my stock htc keyboard befote i rooted i loved it. It knew what i meant to type, made the correct suggestions and the most accurate autocorrects. Then i flashed the gb keyboard when i was using warm. It was a big step down in terms of prediction and auto correct but still worked. However now that i am actually on a gb rom, evokings gb v8 (evervolv), everything has just stopped working and its driving me NUTS. it doesnt auto correct, doesnt predict and fimish my words for me, doesnt input a period after two spaces. Let me give you some examples. If i accisentally type looj, why the hell wouldnt it turm that into look? Note the above errors in that sentence that i didnt even mean to type that it shpuld have easily corrwcted. Before when i typed prob, it would turn that into probably as soon as i hit the space bar. Also it would do punctuation ofr me, like turning doeant into doesn't. I have double checked all my keyboard settings. Its taking me like 3 times longer now to type a mesaage because i have to go back and correct all the minor errors. What changed and why doeant the keyboard work how it should? Somebody please help me out

Did you manage to get around this issue? Have the same problem on my desire. And to make matters worse my typing seems to be getting worse with every passing minute :-( it is becoming practically impossible to type in portrait mode. Is there a keyboard recalibration setting somewhere?

I've switched to go keyboard. It's doing a decent job but don't know how safe it is to use this keyboard. It can record key strokes and there arent too many reviews either

No need to post in dev forum, maybe Q&A would have gotten more attention..
Does the Gallery force close when you try to load it? Or what specifically is the issue you are experiencing w Gallery?
I use Handcent for SMS/ MMS and am able to receive pictures. In whichever messaging app you use, go to your settings and make sure that the "auto-retrieve" option is checked. Or maybe this will help.?

Thanks for the reply. It doesn't necessarily force close it just takes me to the gallery page but nothing loads. Its not all the time but it does frequently. Also its like when I get a picture message I can't open it to enlarge the image it will just go black. Sometimes it will load after like ehhh 10 seconds or so =\

might have a corrupt file in there. try moving all of your pics (except for one you sure works) to your pc. and try to load up the gallery you might need to clear the data under manage applications.
I have no idea why, but my phone is gingerbread v 3.5 unfriendly (at least this is my speculation). It installs just fine, but my touchscreen will not function, nor will the fingerprint scanner. After a while, the screen will shut off, and I will not be able to wake the phone from it's slumber. At first, I thought that the phone auto shut down, but It later randomly awakened to prove my theory on this wrong. The four touch buttons at the bottom hint that they are reading, but nothing else does. The power button is also unresponsive. I will attempt to use GreyBlur to further localize the problem.
Following up on my last post, GreyBlur v 2.1 reacts in the same manner. I will now attempt to find a method to undo everything that I have done thus far, including the rooting. Does anybody know a method to do this?
just go back to the guide and only do the first step.
I have attempted to reinstall the roms to see if that had any effect, and it did not. In addition, My phone is still set to not allow interaction with internal usb memory, so I cannot touch the original files that I placed on the phone. Also to note, I'm not completely sure why, but the touch screen does not respond, neither does the power button, volume buttons, or fingerprint scanner. So in the end, I can't log into my phone, nor can I alter any settings. I am able to still enter recovery mode and navigate, so I know the hardware itself is not broken.
you can't flash a base sbf through rsd?
