Accelerometer calibration ? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is there anyway to calibrate the accelerometer using root access ? I tried every app to do it but it doesn't get universally calibrated. Help would be appreciated. Thanks I think someone could make a small tweak for this so that it comes in settings app.

I'm looking for an answer to this too. According to my research there is no non-root app to fix it globally. So I guess I would have to root my phone. That wouldn't be a big problem, I guess. But I still couldn't find any definite information about the possibility to calibrate it at all. There are some apps that require root for some options like Advanced Tools. but that doesn't mean it will work.

CM7 G-sensor calibration?

Anyone know where or how to calibration the G-sensor in CM7?

BUMP......
At first I was all 'what a dumb question' . Then I looked for it, and I can't find it.
So yea. I'm now wondering the same thing.

Bump. Help us plz
Can you clarify what sensor you're talking about e.g. the G-force, GPS Sensor or Compass or ... ???
And don't just reply "The G-Sensor".
Also, please be specific as to what the issue you are having that makes you believe the "G-Sensor" needs recalibrating?

i used "g-sensor calibration tool" (from internet) for HTC HERO with cyanogenmod one & half year ago... but i don´t know if its available for HTC DESIRE HD...
if you want and noone answer you..... you can to post it or browse in www.cyanogenmod.com official site...
cyanogenmod hasn´t a native calibration tool
Sergi, is this the sensor that you can reset by waving the phone around in a figure of eight or is that for the compass?

is like that the sense roms has in settings-screen-g-sensor calibration.
you can reset it with a level figure.. look the thumbnail
also i remember that with amon´s ra recovery (htc hero) u can do "wipe rotation status" and there´s a tool for calibrate it in cyanogen but i don´t know if its available for desire hd i still never flashed CMxxx.
cheerss
Ahh that.
Whilst it doesn't work the same way if you download GPS Status, go to menu -> Tools there is an option for calibrate pitch and roll.

oups! have doubts
i only know that this tool its for calibrate the sensor for gamming AND GET FIX FOR STABILITY for some apk... (you know the tetter game? its a ball that you handle for the screen moving the device...)
this game needs to calibrate g sensor...
The example is a bilge but it clarifies about that we speak
by the wait i think that they are talking about this sensor concretly.... LOL

The Desire HD has a G-Sensor:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/desirehd/specification.html
You would recalibrate if you feel that the screen orientation does not respond properly to the way you hold the phone (portrait vs landscape).
On the stock ROM, you would do this by:
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
Tap Display > G-Sensor calibration.
Place the phone on a flat and level surface, and then tap Calibrate.
After the recalibration process, tap OK.​
AFAIK there is no equivalent provided by Cyanogen.
No but you cab use an app like GPS Status that has a tool for calibrating this. Works perfectly.

Sensor Calibration

Hey,
can anyone tell me how to calibrate the G-Sensor in the Gaaxy Nexus Prime? In games and apps using this sensor it seems that the y-axis is about 5 degrees leftside when i hold the smartphone straight up. This means for example that the figure in doodle jump moves slowly left, although the Nexus is holded erect...
Googled for an solution by myself, but nothing helped so far. Even apps like BubbleLevel, which have the calibration tool, calibrate the sensor just for this app... and not in general.
Thanks
Try calibrating with this app and see if it helps.

Ignore everyone telling you to use an app to do it, because you can't. Android has no concept of global calibration regarding the sensors.
I have 3 Android phones, they all have wrong default calibration, from a few degrees (Galaxy Nexus) to about 30 degrees (Xperia X10 Mini Pro.. unusable).
You used to be able to calibrate in gingerbread by modding axis offset values in the AK8973Prms.txt file in data/misc. ICS doesn't seen to have that file, at least not in the same place.
HTC Desire, Desire HD have its calibration app.

He asked for help and I tried to help him with what work for me in the past. No need to tell him to ignore people. It's a simple process that involves rotating the phone on 3 of its axis. If it helps, then great. But it certainly wouldn't hurt for him to try, would it? No need to be condescending; it's not like I'm trying cause him harm.

I think that method works well for compass calibration for apps like maps and sky, but it is temporary and doesn't seem to affect pitch and roll. GPS status let's you calibrate pitch and roll but only within the app, it doesn't affect system calibration. The file i mentioned above did allow manual system calibration under gingerbread. Not sure how to accomplish under ics. A post i saw suggested that gnex and ics automatically calibrate if you leave the unit to sit alone for a bit. I don't buy it, but that's the only info i have found.
In case anyone is interested in how it was done under gingerbread, see my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16592139

It's not Gingerbread, it's for that specific sensor with that specific driver. The Galaxy Nexus uses a Bosch BMA250 which has an NV memory where calibration settings can be stored but doing so is not trivial.

Disable Touch Key Backlight on Google Edition

I hope someone can help me out with this (I guess most of my posts arent worth bothering with as they usually go untouched by anyone). I'm trying to figure out a way to disable the touch button backlight on a Google Edition ROM. I have been searching for an answer since the Google Edition hit. All I can ever find is how to disable on GSIII ROMs (non ge). If anyone can please help me out I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Seems to work for me. Did it dim the screen at all (thats its main function)? Did you see the check box "enable softkey back light" (uncheck it) at the bottom of the app ui?

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

No im not. I am on AOSP (Slim Bean) though.
There are options to do this in AOKP and CM roms. Anybody know how those builds pull it off?
Give me a minute to shower and I'll write you an app. All you have to do is install my app, reboot, grant it root access, and profit.

Okay i am having troubles setting it to off on boot. But here is a "toggle" version of it where you can toggle them on or off. Will try and fix the boot issue tomorrow.
SWEEET!!! Works like a charm thanks dude! Like I said, I've been searching for this forever! I know that many others have been searching for this, perhaps you should make a thread in the mods section.

[SCRIPT] Brightness buttons always on

Hi,
Just a little trick for those who want the "capacitive" buttons always on (maybe not very battery friendly but...) Remember someone asked this a few weeks ago somewhere...
Obviously you need root and init.d support... You can also edit directly the brightness file in /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness but the modification will not survive after a reboot so you need to use an init.d script to load the modified value at each boot.
Put the init.d script below in /system/etc/init.d set the permissions to rwxrwxrwx, reboot, done
Here's the script: http://www.multiupload.nl/SMQWQQVBTJ
If you want to return back to stock: rename the init.d script with the .back extension or delete it.
If you want to set the "capacitive" buttons always off you need to edit the value, open the init.d script with notepad++ (on PC) or with a file explorer directly on your phone and set the value to "0" instead of "255", save, reboot, done.
Hoping that it will be useful,
Won't be using but thanks anyways, one question though, when do the HTC one buttons come on and off normally? They seem to have no specific interval
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Hi,
No worries , it works with the ambiant light so with the sensor (light->off / night->on), even if the auto brightness is on or off the capacitive buttons vary in brightness so this part is independant...
After that I'm not a dev, the only solution I found is to modifie the value by the user in one file. Maybe it's set in the framework, or kernel? i don't realy know. The auto brightness values can be changed with a modified framework-res.apk, maybe it's the same thing for the capacitive buttons . In any case I have not the knowledge and skills for this part about the "automatic" dimming...
Capacitive button in Play works well and less cumbersome. Am using it with Pie. Automatic dimming would be cool though Thanks for looking into this.

Hi,
Sorry but I don't know what you mean... or you mean a kind of greater "light graduation", not on or off like stock, at least it looks like this for me (for example some values like 0 / 100 / 200 / 255), depending of the ambient light?
Like I said, for this I have not the knowledge, maybe a dev can take a look . In any case I don't think you will see a big difference between 100 and 255 for example...
And in the path /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/ there is nothing related to the graduation, it's in the framework stuff I think...

This app now officially supports the HTC One in the latest beta version. I'm the developer of the app and I'd love to hear feedback from HTC One owners to know if it really works (since I don't have a device of my own to test on).

[Q] How to check which app(s) is casuing wifi drop problem when deep sleep?

Hi all,.
My Nexus is having wifi drop problem after using it for a while (There is no problem when just boot up) and put it to sleep mode, I have tried different ROM and kernel it still no help, however I use titanium backup to restore apps when switch to different ROM, so I believe it is apps problem. Except guessing, is there any technical way to find out the problem? (i.e. you can use Task Manager and Event Viewer under Windows)
Thanks.
