Addressing the G-Sensor calibration issues

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7067687&postcount=53
That appears to address a similar issue - perhaps it would work? My tablet gets here tomorrow, so I'll give it a try. Until then, if someone else has looked into the problem at all, maybe we could get a thread going on how it can be fixed. Has anyone made any headway?

No report on this yet? I'm very interested as this issue affects the pic gallery.
BTW, TNT Lite v2 FTW!

I checked it out but the file he is referring to isn't there, used rootexplorer
Also the sensor app shows absolute 0 way off, it does seem as if this can be fixed, or at least changed

This depends on which accelerometer the system is using. gTab may not have this accelerometer.

in regards to orientation issues:
It's actually right. I found this the other night and just haven't had a chance to post it yet: nvidia developer pdf.
It seems that the orientation being 90 degrees off is correct (link, page 6). Somehow we need to fix the transforms to get us from the correct orientation to the phone-standard orientation that apps seem to be written on (have a look at page 7 of the pdf).

TNT lite 2.0 seems to have fixed the issue
I've loaded TNT lite 2.0 and then started up the game Raging Thunder and it works perfectly.
Warning on TNT lite 2.0. Make sure you have clockwork mod loaded first. My machine went into a boot loop and I had to use clockwork mod to get out of it.

Raging Thunder 2 has never been an issue for me, and is one of the smoothest running games...it's obvious that they have done something different. Maybe it can be used to fix other games.

I have Raging Thunder 2 and works great on my Incredible, but on Gtablet, shows only half screen at the title and never gives options to load up. How did you get it to work?
Reports are it is an Nvidia issue and the current patch does not cover the problem. Did not for me, so I can agree with that assertion.
I am using TnT Lite 2.0.

Anyone else notice that is they hold the tablet upside down as using it while lying on your back, the touch screen has issues, very laggy, have to hold down my presses many times for it to register, like accessing apps I have to try three+ times to get it to work. When I rotate the device back to on my lap everything works great. Wondering if this has something to do with the G-Sensor hardware/software.

That 's what we concluded in our group too.
The G-sensor is not a defect, it 's the game design that use a different orientation.
If you look at Tom Clancy 's flight game and Raging thunder 2, the G sensor works properly.
What we worry the most is that if we do switch the machine's G-sensor output, we will have problem with newer game which designed with Tablet orientation in mind.
One of the developer in our group are actually mod the game itself so that the x-y axis are switched in the game app. This seems to be working quite well. He did about 10~15 games already.

check pm and try it out

You all are all correct to some point. The logical fix would be a sensor orientation option built into settings, since changing the orientation will fix some games and probably result in others being broken. Raging Thunder 2 is an example.

Where can we get said games?

I bought Raging Thunder 2. Nice game on G
You are probably referring to the modded games... Yeah- where do we get them?

I also have the sensor issue in my gallery. It makes it quite difficult to make selections. If it is just those games having this issue, how can I fix it in gallery?

Google Maps 5 for Android out now!!

Guys, the new google maps 5 is out. Seems like it has some really nice new features. Head onto marketplace and update.
The write up is on pocketnow.
http://pocketnow.com/android/google-maps-5-for-android-with-3d-vectoring-now-available

Can someone post .apk, please? Google updates not available in Market in some countries.

http : //is.gd/iRddp

Thanks so much for the .apk! Cheers man!

The 3D feature doesn't work for me on JDMS 1.6.2 build unfortunately.
Anyone get that to work? on which android build?
edit: Nevermind it works, my area was just too flat?!!

i couldn't make it work on my phone (see config below) either

Anyone get the map rotation to work using gestures? Only way I can make the map rotate is by using compass mode, but that requires me to be at the location I want to rotate the map around.

couldnt find the .apk file anywhere? neither in the market is the app??? where can i grab that??

Placing two fingers on the screen and moving them laterally in opposing directions worked for me.

which android build do you have? as others said i can't do that :\

thanx man you are best

Mine works great on the EVO Black & Blue Remix ROM, but London 3D has not been enabled yet

You make it 3D by putting two fingers on the screen and dragging down and I can make it rotate by putting my index finger and my thumb on the screen and rotating them in a circle. As dumb as this sounds, you really do have to practice a bit to get it to work. I'm using
EVO Carbon Remix V0.5 by motoman234

Thanks for the link.
1. Gestures work fine
2. I don't see any 3d landscape though
Are there any settings where you can activate 3D buildings and compass mode?
Update: Map stays stationary and only the blue arrow rotates.
Update 2: 3D buildings work only in some major cities around the world (i have found Chicago, Berlin untill now) and only if your zoom is at 100m/200ft and you must have all layers (terrain - sattelite) turn off.
Samsung Galaxy S - Froyo

I cant spin motion the map! I tried every means possible

I think the map rotate is limited to roms that are designed for phones that support distinct multitouch. I am using the hd2one which is built for the nexus one which doesn't have distinct multitouch... does anyone know how we can trick Google maps into performing the rotate function without flashing a different rom?

You can use this file, copy it to your hd2one/root/system/etc/permissions then reboot. I copied it from the desire_hd2 build and it works.

Direct Link for those looking for the file buzz killington was talking about. Google Maps 5.0 now works as advertised! Hope this helps some others out there wanting to get the rotate gesture working.

[Q] Problem: Gamegripper, cm7, emulators

Hi
i have bought a game gripper to play psx games om my ms2, but i'm having a big problem
i can't use the "." button in fpse, it doesn't work in game :/
is this because i'm using cm7?
i have the same problem with the snes9x ex
can anyone test if work here and tell me what rom are you using?
i love the cm7, but now i'm thinking to change to ms2ginger because of this
thx

Your key "." is located under the left of the four-group keys on the game gripper right? I think mine worked all the time. But I can double check later...but I'm on stock 2.2

Yep!
In the left of the up key
I think the problem is the rom
Thanks
Sent from my Milestone 2 with CM7

I found the real problem: swiftkey

ICS GENERAL- For discussion on the ICS update

I've been on the beta since it was released and the official release for 24 hours and have had the following issues so far:
Sometimes when I take a picture I'll get duplicate images in both Gallery apps.
Sometimes touch controls in games like Angry Birds simply stop working. Sometimes a reboot will fix it, sometimes I need to power on and off. This is unacceptable IMHO.
Does anyone have any more they want to discuss? The issue with the touch controls may force me back to GB.

videocamera is l lilbit laggy
soundquality in videocamera is very low!
battery drains fast!

Please use the Search button! This thread is about ICS bugs.

The phone app is really heavy to load and the number search is laggy and slow!
Videocamera is slow and a bit laggy, i hope that someone could solve this
I checked some video details, before and after the system upgrade:
Gingerbread Videocamera: video: 29 fps audio 128 Kbs STEREO
ICS Videocamera: video : 28 or less fps audio 128 kbs MONO
Why this quality downgrade!?!?!?! Ehat's next? 3 Mpx photo?!

Videocamera might seem laggy but resulting videos are fine.
The real bug is 2D acceleration which is most obvious when dragging down notifications bar and scrolling in the app drawer. It is also noticeable in 2D games. For example, I get 59-63 FPS in GB while on ICS only 46-50 FPS.

No no, the video quality is the same, but the audio is worse!! Check yours video specs.

VPN PPTP-VPN:
I can connect to my VPN router but it is impossible to disconnect. Disable data or wifi is the only way to close the connection. Can anyone confirm this?

Some lags can be reduced if you install Sony S launcher .apk

Only thing I really hate, is that many games are impossible to play because of the "touch lag". For example Age of Zombies; I can't get past the main menu, because if I press "play", it won't register my touch. This happens in most of my games.

+ 1
Game itself works quite normal sometimes, but the menu lags. It's not because of performance issues because some heavy 3d games work smooth.

someone can poste a sample video from the camera to see these lags ?

The lag problem (not so lag), could be solved diabling the video stabilizer. The real question is why the audio before the update was STEREO and now is MONO!!

Temple Run is another good example. Touch controls aren't recognized correctly in both the game and the game menus.

I'm glad it isn't just me.
But it still sucks.
I've rebooted my device 3 times already today because Frisbee and Angry Birds wouldn't recognise any touches at all.

[Q]Playing HD Games

Yesterday i rooted my SGY and instaled chainfire3d in purpose to play some hd games. I instaled the apk, used to correct plugins, reduced texture quality, nevertheless the games didn't work. Do i need to do something else? Like overclocking ? Help me please. Thanks.

No. It's all good. Most probably the game's apk file or data files are incorrect, due to which this problem is occurring.

And yes there may be problem with the apk and data that you are trying to use.

I'm trying to play Nova, GTA 3 and NSF Shift. May you guys thean please send me a tutorial that you've tested and it worked? For any of those games, so i can test it. Btw i'm using stock rom, all i did was root and install chainfire...

the games you requested require a more demanding hardware,
not yet capable for SGY

Resize
our SGY screen is not compatible with it.
try to resize all video to 320 x 240. it work with Ashpalt 5 :good:

Just found out how to make nova work: just delete the both .mp4 files in its data file. Still don't know how to make NSF work.
