Screen rotation lag fix - Epic 4G Android Development

Here is the original post from jbuggydroid on androidforums. He posted it in Ragnarokx's Truly Epic thread. I tried it on Viperrom Apocalypse 4.0.2c and it worked so it may be a fix for anyone with screen rotation lag (as in lag over 1/2 second). It's just a sensor calibration on the admin level. So anyway, download a terminal emulator from the market. I used android terminal emulator. Open it. Type 'su' (without the quotation marks) and hit enter. That will give you superuser rights. Then type, /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha and hit enter. It will ask you to place the device horizontally (just put it on a desk or something flat and place it horizontally). Then hit enter. It will calibrate. Exit the terminal, turn off the screen then turn it back on. No more lag.
Sidenote- I posted in this sub because I figured most users would see this with rommed phones on froyo.

Thank you sooo much for posting this here. That rotation lag was driving me nuts. Did as directed and now the lag is gone!

Glad I could help

Worked great for me too!

Do you have Superuser installed? Are you rooted?

Hmm, the description said you don't have to be rooted to run the emulator. Which, I guess, is true. But for this specific process, you need superuser (aka su) rights, meaning you need to be rooted. If you are already rooted, I would have to look around for answers.

Thanks for replying
I'm not rooted and I do not have superuser installed :S.
By the way I would like to root my phone but I'm a noob and could not find any easy tutorial to do it.

This wiki is amazing. It has everything you will need. I highly recommend that you read a about rooting, flashing, etc before attempting to do anything. Having the knowledge beforehand can really help if something doesn't go quite right. Knowing also will help you because you will know what to look for, what to not look for and what everything should look like. Youtube vids help for visual but I personally think reading + visual is ideal. Having said that, it is really easy to do

Thank you...that's the easiest root guide ^^

For some reason it only worked after I disabled then re enabled auto rotate but it is faster
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Thanks, this worked for me! I had to reboot before it took effect.
Also, I had run the gui calibration tool several times, which never got rid of the rotation lag, so running sensorcalibutil_yamaha was necessary.
Note: running Bonsai4 DK28 w/ext4

I have seen weird things like that happen before on other roms. Try redownloading and if that doesn't work, flash another Rom and then wipe and retry this one.

Are you guys updating the list of outstanding issues on the Dev thread?
(meaning once the WIFI's resolved, then GPS and camera will be the primary issues with this rom?)
Also, I've read about issues with the mobile networking... is that a rom issue, or a kernel issue? (waiting to try it, but this is my primary phone and really can't afford to foul it up...)
way to go..this will hopefully help out the with clogged up ROM threads.
i just picked up a hero and probably gona flash it to metro, been trying out a couple of the sense roms, but between the droid and hd2 i got used to froyo. im kinda curious as to how much of a performance boost it will be. i know it did wonders for the droid. hope this gets finished soon
Just flashed this again for the first time since this project first started and man, it works 10x better
And on the camera? Holy crap! I love it! I don't care if it get's fixed myself
Reminds me of that music video...
http://www.mtv.com/videos/a-ha/7846/take-on-me.jhtml
OMG 80's flashback! haha.
..does anyone else notice their 3g seems to be a whole cry faster with this rom? heh. hope I don't get booted off the network for being a bandwidth hog
The only thing keeping me from flashing this again is the camera issue. As soon as the camera is fixed I'll be happy to use this again as my daily use Rom

You could also search google for 'xda kernel repack'.
Unpack the initramfs, update the su and Superuser.apk, and repack the kernel.
Tada, no more su problems, and when it gets out of date, you can fix it yourself

We have clockworkmod running on the Samsung Galaxy SG4 for some time now, though I don't know if anything like that is available for the Exhibit 4G.
The signature verification error is normal via standard 3E recovery. I know it can be toggled on/off within CWM though I'm not sure if/how with standard recovery.
Got it fixed.
ok. I got it fixed. Here are the steps:
1) Download and install the SuperUser Fixer. Force it to run.
2) Update to the newest SuperUser.
3) In the settings, update the SU binary from there.
Done and fixed.
Thanks.

I've had problems with fix permissions in RM, too. Read somewhere in XDA that it's different in CWM than in RM. I've used a script in Rom Toolbox Pro and it shows the same type of log I see in RM, but goes faster. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't RM's fp just a script anyway?

If you've changed rom's and restored your apps from backups created while running other rom's, often that will screw everything up.
Try fresh installing all your apps from the Google Play store, or try deleting the app data and caches on whatever apps seem to be halting ROM Manager while fixing permissions.
Had the same issue of permission fix hanging forever, but Busybox install seemed to resolve it.
But my intend of fixing the permission was to get rid of the warning message that I get after a reboot:
"System UIDs Inconsistent"
This hasn't dissipated... any ideas?

"omg, a newb asking an apk question, KILL HIM!"

I know I know... There are a lot of things I am good with... android...is new for me.
I have a galaxy note and I dont know the first thing about .apk files or rooting, etc.... I dont mind the way it works now... BUT
I want S Voice. (duh)
as you can see from my sig... Its be A WHILE since I have hacked/modded phones. Then I went to the iPhone for a few models and now I am back...
I downloaded "apkinstaller" and "appinstaller" but niether will load the apk I got off of xda.
I loaded the .apk to my external sd and made enables the ability to load apps that arent from the android market.
Do I need to delete something? Or what... I really need someone to give me a "step by step, you're an idiot" way of getting this done. I really dont want to root my phone if I dont have to.
Thanks to anyone who helps!
you shouldnt need to root to install apk's as long as you have checked off ability to install apps that arent from market. I have been doing that from my dropbox since my phone was stock everything. Maybe the apk is broken. Try downloading it again. Maybe even try downloading another apk just to test if it installs properly.
I will try that now.

I dont really have the time to read up on all of it but from what I have you may need to be rooted and remove voice talk first. I think a few of the custom ROMS also have S Voice installed on them already. This is a trickier apk than usual. Would be great if someone with more experience on S Voice would jump in and show you the steps. Sorry I couldnt be of more help.

say what? (told you I am a newb)
it is, in this state (unrooted), impossible to get it working.
You need to have root-acces (which you stated you don't have), because you have to replace the usual voice talk with the S-voice application.
You can of course root your phone, read up, and install the mod.

I did, when i first ran the app something called superuser was asking for permission and i didn't grant access. And i ran it again, and this time granted access, and this time it said congratulations this device has root access. I guess it means it's rooted. How do I unroot it.?
Unrooting would be super foolish. If you wanna unroot, get an apple device.

First find out if its ICS or gingerbread ROM. Than look around the blaze dev. Pg., and read-up on the great ROMs available. Follow instructions to the T when installing whatever you choose and make sure you create a backup in cwm FIRST. Happy flashing
Flashing another ROM will fix the touchwiz thing, you don't need it unless you really want it.

Flashing another ROM will fix the touchwiz thing, you don't need it unless you really want it.

I am about 89% sure you lose root when you use this method.

I uninstalled superuser app and now it shows that I don't have root access. I fixed the thouchwhiz problem by just using the go launcher app. Now the only problem is that I want some of my tmobile apps back like mobitv and Polaris office. Is the only way to get them back just by getting them from the play store?
Two choices: get it from the play store (if available) or follow the instructions chjema posted. It flashes the original build and will get everything back as if purchased new.
