Screen rotation lag fix

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

[Q] Have LG Axis, Need ROOT. please help

I've looked everywhere for a root exploit that works for my LG Axis as740 but to no avail. I've even tried using methods that work on sister phones Apex and Ally. If anyone has information that could be of use to me PLEASE post it here thank you

try 4shared.com ...(Ginger break.apk) or just Google Ginger break.... think blog in XDA with download.Link that's what I had to use for mine

Ya that did it thank you. Have you (or anyone for that matter) tested any custom roms? There's obviously a lack of community support for this device.

Have you tryed SuperOneClick? It worked for me. Also using SuperOneClick also has the advantage of being able to go into the ADB dir and being able to use adb as log as you have the lgas740 windows driver installed. There is a SuperOneClick section here in the XDA forums, look it up, and give it a go. When you connect your phone to a computer using usb, start the superoneclick program and set the exploit to auto. Both permenent and shell root work for axis.

did you install d2 bootstrap then update
cwm with rom manager use dx 2nd int
hold on I'll add links
The correct way is installing Droid 2 Bootstrap Recovery and using that to hijack. This will give you CWM 2.0.0.x. Once done, install the Droid X (2nd init) CWM via ROM Manager, and you'll end up with a fully functional CWM 5.0.0.x.

Rooting with 1.85 firmware

I put this question on the post for rooting 1.85 and some people mentioned it earlier on the thread without really answer g the question, but even if the phone automatically downloaded the ota can I still root it? I'm stuck with the abd commands, and since I'm new to rooting I'm not that great with them commands. I'm stuck trying to remount the abd it keeps saying this remount failed: operation is not permitted. If anyone can help me it will be much appreciated. Thanks

Dude -_-. Omg tired of seeing all these rooting questions when they are ALl over. Look to have a simple understanding of the adb it's quite simple. Just look at a YouTube video! That's what I did instead of asking the question many, many people keep on asking. Took me 4 hours + do root.super sid .unlock.. mainly because I did all my research n asked a question to the forums when I was really stuck

Well, I tried this on my VZW Razr Maxx HD. There was one issue for me, this phone's File Manager app does not allow you to mount a remote location like a Samba share. Instead it only has backup assistant as an option with all the local storage. Unless I just missed that option.
With that said, I did try some third party File Managers (Astro and ESstrongs). You need to do it with the Motorola File Manager though. It looks like the Motorola File Manager will mount the share as /storage/rfs0/ or something similar. The other file managers do not do this. When it comes to the "sudo /tmp/share/adb shell /storage/rfs0/pwn" part of the instructions no rfs0 exists on my phone to work that way. I couldn't find it under a different folder name either.

I did that on my Atrix HD, worked awesome, I'm allready rooted on jb with my HD so I can't try it on that.

but when it comes to this point of the instructions you already worked with the samba folder. you downloaded motoshare.gz, extracted it, gave permissions etc.. so this folder must have exist.
maybe it's
Code:
sudo /tmp/share/adb kill-server
what's happening if you skip this part of the instructions?

Hey, Yeah I tried it too kept getting the same error. And I've been going at it for days. Just have to hope and wait for an exploit that'll work properly for us. Also yes please do keep us updated. Very very much appreciated.
Also To Lenny Someone else has had that problem too I'm not sure if it was you who posted. But someone did send a link for the file manager apk so you can find that and try again i guess.

Hey bgumble,
You're right, I did download to the samba share, but that was all on the host PC running Ubuntu, not on my phone. This folder existed on my host as /tmp/share. I successfully downloaded motoshare.gz there and extracted the files, changed permissions, etc.
I'm not sure what would happen if I skipped those parts of the instructions, I don't recall an error when I ran it. I believe the way this exploit works is when File Manager mounts the samba share on your phone it does so as /storage/rfs0/. That's why you can then run /storage/rfs0/pwn as if it were being executed locally on your phone. My error at this point was that /storage/rfs0/pwn could not be found.
Since the VZW version of the File Manager doesn't allow you to mount network shares and third party apps don't mount shares as /storage/rfs0 (I don't know where they mount them), I couldn't get this to work.
There is a chance I'm not understanding how this works, but I'm pretty sure this is it.
Thanks,
Lenny

Yeah, good heads up on the File Manager. I did download it and try to install it, but I get an error saying it could not be installed, I think because it tries to install as a system app.
On a side note, after unsuccessfully trying to install it, my real File Manager disappeared. I'm not heart broken, but its kinda weird.
Thanks,
Lenny

Didn't get an answer from the dev yet.
The ones without the stock filemanager app could try with a different file manager. Once the samba "share" folder is mounted on the device, you could type "adb shell mount" on the host machine or just "mount" on the device in an terminal emulator. This will give you a list with all mounted file systems, The "mount list" should output the mount path of the "share" folder on the host machine.
Now replace the path "/storage/rfs0/" with the path you could find in the "mount list". For example "sudo /tmp/share/adb shell [your-mount-path]/pwn".
Please note that this exploit will never work with a third party filemanager if the hack is based on a stock filemanager vulnerability...

I hope he does eventually respond. Did you maybe try writing to the 2nd poster in the thread, the one who promised to give tech support?

If you guys have XT926, You can just downgrade to Ice Cream Sandwhich, use the working root, then upgrade back to JB with VooDoo's OTA root keeper.

Is there a generally accepted way to do that downgrade (JB to ICS on a Verizon XT926)? Something that's relatively simple for the noob-ish? I have a Razr Maxx running ICS and a Razr Maxx HD running JB (both rooted) and I'd like to try running ICS on the Maxx HD for a bit.

I get to the same step, `adb /storage/rfs0`
but if I run `adb mount` there is no rfs0
I can't add remote storage to my droid razr

Same situation for me
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app

I talked with dev (@djrbliss) and the exploit absolutely does depend on the Motorola stock FileManager app that can mount network shares as rfs0. So droid RAZR HD/MAXX HD users are out of luck.
There is no writable executable place to manually mount a network share ala `mount -t smbfs -o blah blah` so you can't manually use this exploit either on RAZR HD.
Finally, the FileManager application is a system app so you **can't** install this app. In fact trying to will make your original droid RAZR HD File app disappear along with access to vzw cloud storage.
I really appreciate Dan's work on this - it's nothing short of amazing - but the sad truth for RAZR HD users is that there is no way to use this exploit. It's a catch22 - you need root to use it.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app

Sounds like the dev doesn't realize there is a difference between xt926 and xt925
Those of us with xt925 are not on verizon, and DO have the stock filemanager app on our phone.
Now if the RazrHD filemanager app is somehow different than the Atrix's, that's a different story.

And that's the rub - @djrbliss says the exploit absolutely does depend on the stock FileManager app.
Also - 3rd party apps do not (can not) mount remote storage using libc.mount() because that requires root which no app has. Again catch-22 - can't use matrix HD exploit on RAZR HD. Sorry.

Sorry I don't see what the "rub" is?
RAZR HD (xt925) has stock FileManager app.
Is someone saying that the RAZR HD FileManager app is different than the one on Atrix? If so, why would the dev say this should work on RAZR HD? There's some confusion here...
