[Q] Turn off proximity sensor on CM Roms - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I've got a Defy with a faulty proximity sensor - the "trick" with loosening the screw does not help, I've also dissasembled the Defy several times, to see, if there are any damages - nothing.
So, the problem is that the Defy is hard to use in this state (I would like to have a CM9 oder CM7 Rom) - so is there any possibility to turn off the proximity sensor on CM9 or CM7 Roms, like you can do it on Miui oder Stock?

OK!
Can somebody move it, please?

Finally I found a solution for this problem...
I did it like described in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8641376&postcount=11
-Copy "sensors.jordan.so" to your pc, it can be found in "/system/lib/hw" either on the device or in an update.zip.
- Open it with a hex-editor
- Search for "/dev/isl29030.als.ISL29030P"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- rename it to "/dev/isl29031.als.ISL29030P" (or whatever you like ;-) )
- push the file back to your phone
Now the screen should stay awake while making a call.
It also works with: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tuba.tools&feature=search_result so you don't need a pc and you don't need to push the files around.

Thank you very, very much for this solution!
I tried everything you can imagine to solve this and nothing but your solution solved!
Thank you! :good:

Great solution idea - but I actually cannot replace the file while the system is running. Have not tried via adb, yet.
ROM: CM10 Quarx2k/Defy+++ Jelly Bean Cannon 6.2.1 (Android 4.1.2)

Defy proximity prob
did it like u said, sometimes it works,some times not.
then changed the "ISL29030P"(only) in whole file. it lasted some more time.
but at end same prob is there

After doing the changes, did you update your rom?

i just edited the file with hex on my pc,then replace it with one on the phone.
then immediately dialed a no.
i didn't do a extra step from above all.
pls tell me about this"update your rom"

If you are using any CM Rom that gets updates (mostly Nightlys) then the "fix" must be applied after every update.

you are a No.1, good !!!
Thank you very, very much for this solution!, I fixed my defy.
Thanks again

cheers and beers!
same problem here but solved it:
i actually didn't find that editing helpful.
i solved the problem by flashing the file attached while being on latest cm7.2. 0 nightly.
now my phone never goes off while dialing. a bit annoying when touching the " hold" button but that can be disabled
hope this helps!

Having issues unrooting!

I'm using flipz 1.56 RUU and for some reason, when it tells me to connect the phone to the PC, it says it cannot be found. I usually use a MAC to connect my Hero and all sorts of stuff, and I just found a PC to be able to unroot. What seems to be the issue? I know the phone is connected because I can look at it's folders and such.

I'm having this EXACT same issue... But, if you can look at its folders, go into the notifications and set it to "charge only" and make sure USB debugging is enabled.
You need to install HTC Sync on the PC in order to use the RUU.

Grrr...oh well unrooting I stay
Am about to unroot so I can take my Hero in to sprint, I have dust under the screen. Anyone want to point out the best (easiest) way to unroot?
I seen a post where it could be done by just sdcard, would that or using the kitchen be the best way to go?
I am running a 2.1 ROM.
Thanks!

Method 1 is dead simple
Just 5 steps?? WoW
I looked for a little bit today at work and could not find anything this easy. LOL
Anyone tested this?
1. Download the following file: http://www.multiupload.com/Q3RMV5MTRF
2. place in /root of SD card
3. Reboot phone into HBoot mode, by holding Volume Down
4. Press action (the trackball) when prompted
5. Reboot phone
while i havent done it, so cant confirm, the unroot from sd does seem to be the most foolproof way to do it. all their going to look for is the correct recovery.img and stock feel, so it only makes sense
Cool, Thanks!! I am going to give this a try (15 mins before I run in to sprint) I am going to hate to go with about my custom rom and add the added stuff I get with root!

HBoot is recovery mode, When you power up the phone holding down the volume button.

OK, I did the 5 little steps and then I went to kitchen to root my phone again..
I phone reboots and when I try to go to HBoot so I can nandroid a backup I have I get this screen.

i5800 G-sensor calibration. Please help!

Hello! I'm writing about a problem I have with my i5800. I'm on Froyo 2.2 XWJPM. On the phone of course there isn't a calibration tool. I cannot for the life of me calibrate the g-sensor of the phone, which is a little off in the pitch parameter. I have tried almost everything:
1) Play and change settings in the akmd_set.txt file in data/misc. Also tried deleting the file. The g-sensor just ignores the settings in the file
2) /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha wont run. Not even after deleting /data/system/ms3c_yamaha.cfg. Also tried editing the file. Nothing. (I am root of course)
3) Tried with other firmware (e.g. XXJPM) again nothing.
Note: Calibration seems to work fine in utilities like GPS Status. However I need a way to calibrate the phone globally, and not just one app.
Thank you!

Hy guys, sry if this was allready discussed but i'm having a serious problem: i've flashed my moms hd2 to android some months ago and after some time it began to have problems meaning the screen stoped responding...i've tried several new flashes and nothing, just after the hole process is done the screen still wont do anything...please sugestions...fix it sehow, reflash wm 6.5?!!!
You say after some months the screen stop responding as in no respond at all to touch and any hard buttons? Then how can you flash anything when touch screen/hard buttons unresponsive?
For me it is the hardware problem. Flashing won't help...
if your screen completely stopped working the digitizer is broken and you'll either have to get another hd2 or if you're in your warranty period send it back in and have it replaced. my first hd2 had the same problem but luckily i was in my warranty period so i sent it back it (cost me $10 shipping for the new one) and they sent me another.
oh and dont forget to take hspl off your phone before sending it in. its not that hard of a process just make sure you use a 2gb or less sd card when you have to reflash your stock rom on there or else it would not work
How do i take of hardspl?
go to the htc site and get a stock rom, unzip the file with 7zip, find the .nbh file rename to LEOIMG.bh put it on a formatted micro sd card smaller than 8gig bootphone to bootloader and let it do its thing
oops my bad thanks amidniteload

Hi,
This process will restore your phone to its original condition.
There will be NO trace of any modding.
You can then send it to be fixed under warranty.
the warranty has expired i was interested in trading it for smthg else...so i was interested in it working
solved it using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803242&highlight=screen+freeze and reflash android....lets see how it evolves now...thanks all for the quick replies
Nope...it worked for a day( ))

only one day?
i didnt get clearly, is your phone screen is off? of show the desk but you touch the screen there is no response? from which part? which ROM are you using ?
first , you dont have to worry too much cause on that site, you have sloved your problem but not more than one day. so the problem is not about you hardware.
why not change a new ROM?
FYI. do not use the OFF button(on the right, first one) too much, cause HD2’s screen cable is under the off button.
try to download soft button of widget instead of the hard one.
you may look at my phone screen. on the right at the bottom. (LOCHMYDRO sth..)

The problem is obviously software problem...I'm using coredroid the latest release from their site...I'll try reflashing to wm but how large does the sd card have to be....i have one bigger than 2 gb and one of just a few mb...is there a minimum requiered?

In my personal case I suffered the same and I could fix it installing CloudyG3 by Cloudyfa... it seemed to be a kernel problem and many people told me to buy another motherboard... but finally it was solved simply by changing the rom.
If your screen doesn't show anything charge it when it's off. When the % changes to the next number it will be fixed just for a while so you can flash CloudyG3.

[6039x] Install TWRP easily even if you are with your phone to the latest version

(btw im quite noob at this, i just found that as a solution to the problem. btw, sorry for bad english, im 2sleepy and trying to help)
1st: if you break your phone, dont blame it on me. i have done it and it gets tottaly worth it, just sharing knowledge
so have a nice tutorial
So, im Bernardo, from Brazil and 'bout somedays ago ive been trying to install TWRP.
Apparently my ADB-Drivers didnt get totally recognized and it made it impossible.
Oh, almost forgot, you certainly will need a rooted phone. I've used KingRoot, you can find it here. Its an one-touch-apk root. Try it one or two times. It is pretty simple.
Okay, lets go and solve this **** off. Youll need an apk and an image. Just it. Ill use Rashr, but maybe it isnt the better. I dont really know. It just work it out. You can find at Play Store
Fine. Now you have the app to install your custom recovery. But... youll need the custom recovery. Easy too. Youll find the .img right here (big thanks to petrov.0 for the img!)
Okay, now move it to your phone sd\internal storage. Easy too.
Fine, the most difficult steps are in here. Believe me. Open the Rashr and youll find something like that:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ok, so, click in your first option, it maybe its like: Choose image of Recovery, idk, im using in Portuguese.
Then, you should find a menu just like this one:
Okay. Before you search for your img, make yourslef confortable with this app. I dont know why this hasnt a confirmation of what you're doing. So, take extra care. Lets go on.
Find and click in your .img (that you've downloaded from petrov.0 topic, another thanks m8)
And nooooow..... You should have it flashed. Reboot it on recovery (4th option).
Its just that. And this is how you enter in recovery mode:
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume UP key + Power Key about 10 seconds
Release all key when you see Android System Recovery
Use touch to control... everything.
If you like it, pls like it and the petrov.0 post too.
So, i hope that it help you guys. Thanks for petrov.0 again and some friends that help me with it. Sorry for bad english again, its my first post though.
Good luck.
Seeya soon.
