terminal fix for froyo auto rotation? - Epic 4G General

I read a fix for my slow auto rotation using terminal yesterday here, did it and it worked for me. I told a friend about it and now I can't find it...would someone repost it for me?

Terminal
Su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha

That is the one ...Thank you!

im having the same problem with auto rotate and i tried the fix above and it says:
starting calibration utilities...
msmachdep_init failed
calibration utilities failed.

Type Su then enter. Then type /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha. Works everytime.

Doesn't your phone have to be laying flat on the table.

Would you reccomend that I do this on a rom?

Won't make a difference.
If you run the calibrate and its still slow; do it a few more times with the phone turn in different directions I.e 270 degress and 90.

Sensorserver_ya

Does anybody know what this is? I was checking what has used my battery in the settings menu and this showed up as having used 3%. I have no idea what it is....... Running JT's super clean ROM and stock kernel.

Compass. I learned that because catch.com "compass" would not let it go after closing the app it left the process hanging at 60% till reboot.
The full process name is /system/bin/sensorserver_yamaha
Edit: More definitive answer in capture.
good day.
Thank you, chopper - is this something that is normally supposed to be running? I never remember seeing it before - is there any way to close it or is it an essential function?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
yes, it's normal and essential
it facilitates orientation/screen rotation
(ie, accelerometer/compass)
Thank you! My day is now complete - I learned something new

I love the genie widget but I can't get it to with on any of the vibrant 2.2 roms. Does anyone here have a working apk for 2.2 vibrant?? I've searched all over but all I can find is the same one I've been using since my g1.
Thanks

Ya the one I was using on eclair FC on froyo. So, I found one that works last night. No problems all day today...even auto finding my location.
Thx. I'll check it out

How did you install it. At 1st I got cannot install so I used root explorer to put it in system apps. That let me install, but all I get is fc when I try to use it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I used Root exp. Try rebooting your phone and see if that works. What way did you try installing the first time before root exp?
Thanks for your help but I can't seem to get it to work. I usually install directly from the download file in astro. I then tried using root explorer.
Thanks for the help though

I was looking for this too.
Good job Demo
Is this the version of the program that brings up news stories in the program itself or does this version just display the headlines and opens the stories in the browser?
I posted a link to smoked glass geneiwidget in apps if interested. Looks better. It has about 70% transparency

Users whose auto rotate busted after flashing from FroYo.

Everyone whose auto rotate busted after flashing to/from FroYo please comment here. Tell us the steps you've tried and if you've gotten it working again.
I flashed to Syndicate 1.0.2 from DJ29 FroYo and noticed my auto rotate no longer worked. I nandroided back to stock DI18, still doesn't work. I odin'd to DI18, still doesn't work.
Anyone else?

Nevermind, I looked through the beta forum and found out how to fix it.
Use a terminal emulator app and type the following(hit enter after each line)
Su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha

isn't this the same thing as going into the settings and calibrating the g-sensor?
Settings--Display--Horizontal Calibration

In FroYo. Can't do that in Eclair.

Auto rotate calibration not working...

Yea it isn't working. Im on midnight 5 standard. I get an msmachdep_init error no matter how many times I try. Also os anyone having trouble with the xda app? It wont open and force closes constantly and I have to reinstall for it to work again. Then it'll happen again. Stupid xda app :O
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I had to do another full wipe with a manual reinstall of all programs after my update. It was the only way for me to get everything working.
The xda app, go under settings>applications ad clear the application cache, then re-log in. I have to do that whenever it FCs on me.

Or try in terminal with su rights
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha (then click enter)
Put ur cellphone in ur table. And hit enter ...its gonna said that u succesfully did the calibration ... and onces again type reboot to reboot ur system and then ....... ur done

I never understood why to type system/bin part? Mine works just fine by typing sensorcalibutil_yamaha, nothing else required.

Mine works fine too with just the sensorcalibutil_yamaha.
You don't need to reboot either. Just exit the terminal and turn the screen off and on.

Now that I didn't know. I'll remember that the next time I need to re-calibrate.

The rotation is from the launcher used in it, I switched adw and problem fixed.
I had to reinstall the rom a second time in order to get the fc's. Since I did it a second time everything works better and much smoother.

Help

Ok I love my epic but ever since I updated to 2.2 the orientation had been extremely slow my phone is stock and I've tried a factory and reformatting my sd. I took it to sprint and they told me it was the software, but when I looked at the demos in the store there was no orientation delay. Any suggestions?

I would say try to Odin the stock tar file and see if it helps

look thru the forums for the 'lagfix', its the adb command yamahasensorcalibutil or something like that.. its just calibrating your sensors... works great on a good install of most eb13 or ec05 install...
Use terminal emulator, if you don't have it yet get it from the market. Open it and type /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha place the phone on a flat surface, and hit Enter. Reboot the phone and sensors will function at normal speed.
You ca use adb also. Good luck

I believe you need to be rooted.

Oh yeah, sorry im always doing that, assuming users are rooted lol

Doh! +1 on rooting assumption...
For the short periods of time I have been on total stock builds, when I first loaded EC05, it had the least lag out of any.... try to reflash? Consider taking the plunge to root? We have the neglected bastard child of sprintsung... what they dont do or dont do right we have to do ourselves...
Callibrate it using the option in display settings while putting it flat on the underside of a table.
Trust me, it works.
See here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKECs764ayE
So it sounds like the only way to do this is to root my phone

Well it seems laying the phone face down on the horizontal calibration helped

You can either root it and fix it, or take it to Sprint, have them ODIN it which won't fix it and have them order a replacement which takes 3 days.

Or you can calibrate it using the technique I posted a link to.

That doesn't fix the sensor lag, in fact for many people that has made it worse.
Feel free to read the original sensor lag fix thread if you don't believe me.
