[Q] Auto Orientation Problem w/ Provision ROM - Nexus S 4G

I got the latest Provision[JellyVision] ROM from Team D.I.R.T last night and it was lovely; smooth, fast, feature filled.
I went from stock and the difference was night and day (Google Now opens up like its nothing in this ROM, something that used to irk me w/ stock) Just as I finished up setting up the phone and was laying back for a nice continuation of the GOT on my Kindle app, I discovered an unfortunate bug....there was no auto-orientation! I couldn't pull my phone out of portrait mode...all the settings were enabled/disabled, the phone was restarted/put-in-all-sorts-of-awkward-angles and I finally just gave up and installed the latest Cyanogenmod nightly; I used it for a full day and felt like I went to back to a hoopty from a Benz.
Now I want to go back, I'm thinking of just figuring out how to get Kindle into landscape mode without the accelerometer and enjoying the Provision goodness while looking for a fix for the auto-rotation. Any suggestions/fixes?
I checked the development thread and there is one other person who has a similar problem, and the developer (evol4g) is aware of it but does not really utilize auto-rotation like that. I also would post on that thread but I'm a virgin poster and I can't play mess w/ the big developers yet, so I came here. I'm new to posting, so please be nice.

i feel ya.. that rom is so sick! i have the same problem... had to wipe/reset and go with my miui backup till the problem is solved!

Try this: download sensor display app from Market(it has pink icon). Open it and press gyroscope, than go back and press accelerometer. See if there are some numbers on right indicating that sensor is working. I have accelerometer problems with cna, rasbean, sometimes it just stops working, and it comes back again after a while. So when its not working i open that app, press gyroscope(because that is working all the time), go back, press accelerometer and numbers shows there, so gyroscope triggers accelerometer sensor somehow and its working then.

That method did not work for me, gyroscope seems fine but accelerometer is completely blank.

I think it's a bug with the ROM. In the time being, you can force one orientation with Rotation Locker.
I mapped the rotation locker action to the long press search key, when I press it it pops up and shows the dialog. Then I can longpress Landscape (it runs a service when long pressing to make sure it doesn't get killed by Android) and it locks it there no matter what.
It's a bit of an annoying work around, but for the time being until it gets fixed, that might help you.

That's an awesome temporary fix! Thank you. This should hold me over until a proper fix (or a better ROM) comes my way.

[APP][update 17] Photo Button - make photo using volume buttons

Simple app for taking photos by using volume buttons. No need to unlock the phone!

Despite the fact that button phones became a thing of the past and touch screens perform almost any functions, in some cases buttons are much handier. For example, when you need to take an instant or secret photo. In case of a touch screen, you have to take several steps: unlock the phone, turn on the camera and press “take a picture” icon.
The Photo Button app enables you to take pictures without unlocking the phone. Just double-press any volume button and you have a photo!
The program has the option of switching from landscape to portrait mode, turning off sound and vibration when taking a picture. Additionally, the app gives notifications about new snaps.
To make the app power saving, activation and deactivation functions were added. The functions were complemented with a little widget for easier use.
Currently the application works on most models of mobile phones. But unfortunately, there are some phone models which don’t support the app, for example, some LG and Motorola models.
Install from Google Play
How to use it?
1. Install and start app.
2. When phone is locked (screen off) quickly press two times volume button (+ or -)
***New version***
Improved performance (especially one camera phones)
Flash settings
The focus mode (off auto shooting speed increases!)
Shooting mode settings
Notification about new photos added, you can click on it once to view a picture
Widget to control the activation of the camera added. Helps to quickly turn on / off applications to conserve power.
Vibration settings
Sound settings

The application still in development. If you check it on your device, write here.

Works like a charm . thanks

Great app - works flawlessly on my p990 with TonyP's cm10.1. Would like to see a possibility to use press up- and down keys together instead of the double press option.
But all in all perfect for snapshots =). Thanks man...

This is great, I've been trying to do this with Tasker for like a year haha. To make this perfect for me, it would have an option to take a quick picture when holding down power and volume up buttons (just like taking a screen shot except with vol up instead of vol down) Would gladly pay for the pro version for that feature.

[APP][2.3+] Magic Unlock

Hello,
I am the developer behind Magic Unlock
First of all, this app allows you to unlock your phone (after the screen is on) using a hover gesture.
Usage tips
- Lockscreen security needs to be off
- Lockscreen needs to be active
- Works only after the screen is on
- 'On' button means that the app is working
Tehnical data
- Uses proximity sensor for hover detection
- Android service with listening on ACTION_SCREEN_ON/OFF intents
- Proximity sensor reading only when screen is on (battery saving)
- And an adaptive service
Adaptive service settings
- Low priority - app running in background (might be laggy on some devices)
- Medium priority (adaptive) - running in background when enough memory is available / running in foreground (visible notification) when low memory is detected - [recommended setting]
- High priority - always run in foreground (visible notification) - [best responsiveness]

sounds nice. let's see how it works on my maguro Will come back with feedback

will it conflict in pocket?

Sounds like this will be a useful app but will it unlock in my pocket?

This app will not unlock your phone when is in pocket, Sensor starts listening when the screen is turned on (when home or unlock button is pressed)

It works...feeling like a magician, but what about battery life?

This app is great. Is there a possibilty to use the air gesture sensor?

The app it's on a lightweight long running service that stays in background when in medium or low priority mode with no sensor listening
so the battery it's not threatened

Does the proximity sensor also recognize different proximity levels???? i ask that, so that i can think of other applications of this feature

Unfortunately no, only 2 boolean values 0/1 or 0/5, but you could think about apps using proximity in combination with light sensor that have many levels

i don't think that is possible, couldn't find any android api for the air gesture sensor
My guess is that they are using a device specific implementation that combines the light/camera/proximity sensors

Working great on Nexus 4, only thing as extra would be making it work together with light sensor, but light change too much based on enviroments

Nice
Works great on E4GT..Very responsive.Low on Ram. And combined with gravity screen off, its great.

Hope its not laggy

Testing on XPeria Z, installation was easy. Will see how it goes
Thanks!

Works perfectly on my Galaxy SII! (SGH-T989)
Will continue to use this for a week and see how it goes. Hopefully, it doesn't take strain the battery.

Ok so i'ts not working for me HTC One. Security and lockscreen are off. but phone goes straight to home screen on power button press.
Also are you thinking of making this work when the screen is off to turn it on? i.e. you could use accelerometer to test when the phone is taken out of the pocket, and at that stage turn the proximity sensor on and wait for hand hover? Seems simple in theory lol
EDIT: Ok Ok Ok last edit, so it works now but its impractical if you need security as someone can just unlock your phone normally (in my case pulling the lock sprite up) without knowing about the magic unlock functionality, on top of that its faster to unlock normally :/ Others seem to find it good though so I guess I'm a one off

[APP] [2.0+] Front Facing Flash (3F)

Hello XDA Members!!
I love the front facing camera on my phone but hate how there is no flash on the front. Well i made an app that would allow you to shed a little light on the situation.
Its quite simple to use!
Find the app 3F in your app drawer and click it.
It will launch your default camera app
Now you will see a button in the center of your screen with "Ready?" in the center.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once you have finished setting any special effects for configurations for the camera, click the "Ready?" button.
Now your screen will seem to have a whitish film over it. You are then instructed to click the shutter button.
Now the screen is entirely white, this is the flash. After you clicked the shutter button, there will be a red dot visible signifying where the shutter button is.
Now all you need to do is click the red dot to take the actual picture. Once the picture is taken you can review it, however, if you hit "discard" you will need to leave the app and restart 3F to have the flash again.
But thats it! Simple!
I am gonna try to make an xposed module to further simplify this so there won't be any further setup. Simply open your camera app, and another button will appear on your screen, this button will toggle 3F. Once you hit the shutter button, it will automatically show the flash or not depending on your settings.
Hope you guys enjoy this! Hit thanks!! Donate if you feel generous! Thanks everyone!

Here is a with and without picture of me. I know im hideous, don't mean to make your eyes bleed!!

this is awesome! Do you think you will bring it to the Play Store?

Awesome, thanks!

Nice concept but unfortunately it doesn't work very well when the screen brightness is set to "auto". In a relatively dim environment, when 3F would be most useful, the screen is typically also rather dim, greatly decreasing the amount of light reaching the subject. Ideally it would be great if 3F could temporarily force maximum brightness, providing a better flash-like light. Looking forward to future enhancements...

awesome!!
This is just AMAZING! great job!

It does go to what it seems to be maximum brightness on mine. I even tested it with Screen Filter on and it was really nice.

It does set full brightness but I forgot about people with auto brightness enabled. I'll just disable that first then when my app is left I'll enable it again (only if enabled when my app was started)
Very glad to see people enjoying it! I'll have the xposed module up sometime this week hopefully. Got a bunch of school projects to do tho :\

[APP] [2.3+] WakeUp: Activate the screen without using the Power Button

WakeUp
With this App you can activate the screen without using the Power Button.
Review on XDA portal
1.2 Review on XDA portal
The screen turns off and the monitoring is activated when you use the Widget to lock the screen or put the device on a horizontal surface, such as the office desk; the screen turns on automatically when you lift and tilt the device towards you.
There is also an option to lock the screen when you put your phone in your pocket; in this case the screen turns on automatically when you tilt the device forward.
It's also possible to automatically activate the monitoring when the screen turns off after the time set in system options or when you turn off the screen with the Power Button.

The application uses a little battery while monitoring because it prevents the device from going to sleep; you can then set how long it will be monitoring the movement of the device: the convenience comes at a cost!
To uninstall the app you need to disable the Device Administrator.

Nica app works good on Sony Xperia E!

work nicely on Xperia S, NXA v3.2 rom

wtf! I installed it and it blocked my phone. When i pick up the phone it keeps vibrating and the screen turns on and off like crazy. I can't do anything with my phone because when i unlock it, the screen immediately turns off.
I put the phone for 10 minutes unattended and it calmed down, so i had time to stop and remove this.
HTC One X, newest stock OTA.

Nice is there a pro version ?

Love it! If I still think it's this good in a couple of days, I'll definitely be buying the PRO version. (As a longtime Nexus One owner who had two power buttons go south, I still cringe whenever I have to hit the power button on any phone.)

Tested & worked on Moto Atrix 2, its almost same as pocket mode feature on some ROM's

I'm currently using an app called Gravity Screen which seems to function much the same.

So far so good tested and working correctly on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105 (LTE). At first i was worry the screen might turn on when i put it in my pocket while walking.Well, it does not work that way. It will only turn on the screen while the phone on my hand and approach my face. Good... i like it.
i hope the next version can have screen turn off automatically while the phone put on table without motion / while in the pocket.

It works pretty good on my Sony Xperia SP Nice work...

Apart of working as it should, does anyone test the power consumption of this app?. I love the idea but afraid of my battery drain.

From the OP, I thought it was intended to function this way. It seems not, in my testing. I second the request.

I really like the idea of this app, testing it ATM (curious about battery drain).
An idea I had was the option to have an option to keep the sensors active while charging (I don't care too much about battery drain while charging and often pickup my phone during the charging).
