Temple Run - Gyroscope/accelerometer issues? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Anyone else having issues with the internal gyroscope/accelerometer? Whenever i try to get the runner to shift, it have to literally rotate the phone 45 degrees or more. My tablet and iPhone don't need this? Any ideas on how to increase the accelerometer sensitivity phone- wide?

pretty sure its a game issue as it is their first release, give it some time it will be hashed out I'm sure.

I forgot to mention the real reason i posted this--
My phone had a rather harsh fall onto concrete, i was wondering if that could've messed up its internals. Hope it was just a glitch!

Same! I have to turn 45 degree. I look like an idiot playing it. XD

I have this same issue with my tilt controlled games as well. (Doodle Jump & now Temple Run) seems to be a gyroscope calibration issue but since we don't have a way to calibrate (not included on stock rom) then were pretty much stuck playing at a 45° angle.

Mine seems more responsive when held parallel to the ground, but I don't have any issues holding it perpendicular to the ground, in fact just testing this, I scored one of the highest runs I've had yet. I'm running stock 2.3.3

Damn, i was hoping there would be simple fix

Where did you find temple run for Android?

I'm running Hellfire Sandwich 1.4 and I had to tilt a lot to get the coins on the edge, but then I flashed this new kernal, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567097, and tilt is very responsive.

I have hfs and harsh kernel. Buttery smooth

Same here, I have to turn it quite a bit, even with maximum sensitivity. I thought that was the way it was supposed to be.

I'm on HFP 2.0 and temple run is buggy as hell. sometimes it doesn't register my flicks and is frustrating as hell. hopefully because it's just the first build...

What kernel are you using? I remember back when on CM7 based roms, Draw Something wouldn't work, unless you used Faux's kernel.

ya, im running HFS1.4 with harsh kernal and it works fine... BUT on my wifes phone running HFP2.0 with the faux kernal it came with tilt barely works... strange..

I've noticed that it works perfectly on weapon g2x, I think it's an issue with cm7 based roms
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

I believe it's a kernel issue.

It doesn't work on ANY cm7 kernels.

Works on Faux + EB. I have to tilt it a bit but I've gotten used to it.

I tested it on hfp with faux weird sensor annoying game play having to tilt like crazy, hfs with new 3.0.2.6 kernel and now fantastic game play

Smoothest basic ROM?

My dad just bought the wind mobile version of this phone. What is a smooth basic ROM you guys would recommend for him? he doesn't need anything fancy
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I like weapon but you could always start with the basic rooted stock rom and go from there.
I suggest eaglebloods latest rom, which can be found in the development section of the g2x. It is extremely smooth and stable. I would also use faux123 4.6 kernel with that rom.

Must try Tsugi. It is a pretty basic rom but is blazing fast and reliable. It has never crashed on me as long as I have been running it. Can't say enough good things about it.

I've heard great things about Tsugi! So +1. I've tried Weapons, wasn't my cup of tea. Froze quite alot in the early builds.

Really? This poor horse...
I use Weapon 3 which is based on stock Android 2.3.3 with Faux123-0.1.3 recompiled kernel. It has very good battery life, is fast, and very stable.
Galnet MIUI, it really is impressive
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
After trying both Tsugi and Weapon, I personally prefer Tsugi. It seems to work slightly better for me, and I overall seem to have fewer issues. The LG Camera also seems to work slightly better on it although I can't point to any definitive area, other than the fact it has a panorama mode (which only sort of works).
Weapon is great if you want to run Touchwiz, which I find makes more sense to people who don't know what they're doing. Another big deal is that Tsugi doesn't have the shutdown issue where when the phone runs out of battery instead of turning off the screen just goes black and drains the battery more. This may or may not cause damage to the battery, but it's not worth the risk.
Just my two cents
i would say eagle
Jboxer's 2.3.4 LG Colorized is what I settled on after trying pretty much every current ROM.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
I would say leave it alone. usually the one originally on there is the safest and most stable. I have installed the latest nightly build 201 from cm. Its for me and I know what to do if something is wrong.
My wife's android phones I always kept at stock for her so whenever there is an issue its easier to fix.
Just stay stock bud and your dad should be fine ok?
Miui.us is Da best so far with trinity kernel,axura, then tsugi? There's a mess of them? Lol

[Q] MIUI or CM7 or Weapon G2x

Which one are you Running / Why?
Please Leave your Feedback , and vote
Weapon. I tried CM7 and the camera plainly sucked. You need the LG cam to take advantage of the 8mp/1080p camera. MIUI is based on CM7 so the same applies.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
Weapon. I like everything about it and it's the fastest smoothest rom I've tried out of the 3 you listed.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
CyanogenMod... Fastest ROM hands down. OC/UV kernels, so many customizations. Theme Chooser. CM settings. Camera works great for me.
Weapon IV tried the others listed but weapon by far runs the smoothest and fastest for me

Bionix and Faux Rom
I'm really enjoying the CM7 with Faux 4.7 Kernal.
However, I do admit, the camera for the CM7 is butt compared to the original one. I have a T2i so it doesn't matter CM7 hands down, is the fastest ROM I've experienced. 7605 on Antutu
Just switched to Weapon G2x from EaglesBlood and it feels like I just got a new phone! Way better battery life, it's faster and less crashes.
I'm liking Weapon G2X with faux's kernel though I feel like getting used to CM7 because I'm flashing CM9 as soon as its available. At the same time I love weapon. It is so easy to use and the toggles on the slide down bar are convenient.
Sent from my G2X
Went back to Weapon 3.0 today after playing with Bionix and several Miui versions the past weekend. Everything just works. Fast, smooth, predictable. never crashes or hangs up. BT works great. Terrific battery life! An incredible Rom! Only downside is no more updates unless someone else takes over the Rom.
Chalk another one up for Weapon.
"All these noobs hatin' on my weapon when all they've ever run is C M 7."
have you guys tried SinghUI? i think its amazing so far for me atleast... i was on weapon which was great too!!
Definitely hands down weapon...everything pails in comparison. Paired with faux123 re-packed kernel the bootime is way faster and the rom is just incredibly smooth.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
My boot time is actually slower with the new kernel? It used to boot up very quickly. Strange.. Either way it's a great kernel.
Sent from my G2X
dependson what you like.
speedwise - weapon
looks- miui.
battery wise, weapon and miui is the same from my experience.
cm7 is just out of the picture. used it, didnt like it. doesnt look too good and battery drains fast.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
for me actually i get the best battery life with miui :/ with weapon i got around 10-12 hours of usage, with MIUI with CM7 7.2 Kernel i get easily around 15-20hours of good usage.
Weapon - amazing battery life and fits my philosophy - if it ain't broken, don't fix it (not very popular in XDA).

[Q] Draw something on CM7 based roms

Anyone able to play "Draw Something" on any CM7 based roms without it freezing? The game would start up but then after like 20 seconds it would freeze. I've tried on a few CM7 based roms and even MIUI but it only seems to be fully functional with no issues on stock roms.
Iam having problems to with it also on my cm7 T-Mobile g2x it would freeze and can't touch anything. Can't even play it.
Same here its not working ...idk how we could get around this....
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
It sucks too cause all of my friends are playing -___-
same here with O2x, do anyone hv this problem on CM9?
It works on cm9

I works "OK" on cm9. still very usable becasue i have been playing it for the last week, but it does freeze up every once in a while, and FC, and one thime form me it froze completely and i had to do a battery pull. So it works, but not really super well.
I'm having the same issue on the latest nightly for my G2x. I thought it might have been AdFree or another conflicting app but I haven't had any luck narrowing it down. Anyone find a way around this?
Add me to the can't play list also.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Yeah this poses a problem for me as well. Girlfriend just found out about this game and she was in love with it. Then found out it doesn't work on CM7 ROM's... F'in bummer.
Had to wipe and flash a stock based 2.3.3 ROM in the middle of the night just because she wanted to play the game with me.
Lol needless to say, I hope this problem is fixed somehow because stock based G2x ROM's are so bad compared to CM7.

Lol I am in the same boat bro, my girl is begging me to play every day and Im on CM7. Sucks. Was thinking about wiping and flashing a stock ROM myself but just not worth the hassle. Hoping someone finds a fix soon, I tried everything.
Also thought it was an adblock problem, till I stumbled accross this topic.
What? Are you guys running straight CM7 or CM7 based ROMS? I am running EaglesBlood v2.8, which is based off of CM7, and Draw Something works perfectly. Even faster than it was running on Bionic Reloaded v1.2 which is based off of stock.
The only "lag" I noticed was when I first started up the app, it took around 10 seconds to show me the login screen.

I'm running that too, and it crashes non-stop for me.
What kernel are the people that are affected running?
Personally, I'm running Faux's UV one, without DS.
I'm running straight CM7, the latest nightly to be exact. With the latest update of the game I can launch the app almost every time but it freezes when I try to enter actual gameplay. Ridiculous.
Try using Faux's kernel.

This is the fix. I installed Faux kernel with CM stock voltage. No freezes and ****. You can try other kernels too I guess. The only other kernel I tried was trinity and stock and they were both freezing.

[Q] How to increase tilt sensitivity

ok so, i was playing temple run on my g2x and noticed that i had to tilt my phone all the way to left and right just to run right beside the edges. so is there a way to change it? (some of you might tell me that there's an option for sensitivity on the options of temple run, i know about that and its sensitivity for the swipes not for the tilt sensor)
I know that different roms or kernals don't know which affect your g2xs sensitivity. No idea how to change it though manually.

Look around for the other temple run thread and you will see what's going on, with that knowledge, you are running a CM7 variant?

yes im running cm7 nightly, so i did go to the temple run thread and i kinda found out that some people installed new kernels and fixed it.
Yea, a different kernel will help with that. Try either Faux or Morfic.

Bamf forever 1.11 or skyraiders zues bolt 1.3

Currently running bamf forever 1.11 but i have to pull battery once a day to get rid of lag. I love bamf forever if it didn't lag if anyone knows a fix other than o/c I have done that then msg me. If anyone has tried skyraiders and knows more please let me know. I greatly appreciate it
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
Back up what you have, then flash Zeus. I'm using It now and its great.
Sent from my ADR6400L
Why don't you just restart it rather then pull the battery daily?
Restarts do no fix the lag issue.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
I know how you feel...Bamf11 would be the perfect rom if not for the insufferable lag. It wears on you. I ran it with IMO kernel oc to 1.4 but it was still laggy. Bamf kernel jammed up my phone.
I think some of the earlier versions have less lags but then you are replacing the lag with some bug. I feel like the developer needed just one more update to speed up an otherwise flawless rom.
I havent tried skyraider yet. I dont like any of the mr4 roms because of various bugs.
My favorite rom is thundershed because it flies but sometimes I miss some of the sense functions...but I dont miss the lag.
Sometimes old roms ARE better than new roms. I prefer mr2 to mr4.
4 hours on infectedrom eternity nightlies and so far loving it super fast will flash zues tomorrow night and try that one also. Thanksfor all replies
