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

I made it very VERY clear at the beginning of the video that you should only follow these instructions if you are on a STOCK ROOTED Rom. I don't know how to do it on any Rom besides that

Could you post a video on how to properly wipe google wallet to save your secure element in the event you want to flash another ROM?

Hey, appreciate the video.
I'm on a stock rooted rom, but when trying to open the build prop in text editor as you did, a pop up message appears saying "Warning: You cannot edit this file because the file system is read-only."

At the top of root explorer you shoold see a button that says "mount r/w" . Tap that button and problem solved

After installing the wallet, build.prop file should be restored to original? Or leave it?

I would just leave it. I dont see why you wouldn't , I mean the build prop that you changed it to is the sprint galaxy s 3, so the only difference is that there are less blocked apps

My ultimate question is this, I am rooted only. My bootloader is not unlocked and with the exception of root, all is stock. Will these directions work for me or do I have to install a rom?

You need a custom recovery to flash the files so you must unlock first. [Assuming you're on Verizon] Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mmmeff.ez.unlock and click unlock. You're now unlocked. To install a custom recovery, download GooManager or Rom Manager and allow the app to install the custom recovery of your choice (TWRP or Clockworkmod). Then you're set to install Google Wallet.

I still can't manage to add a card to the wallet

CWM flashable SU.apk

I tried Casual for over an hour today. Would always see the phone and load the files fine. But once it rebooted to try to stick root the app would freeze everytime. Finally had to give up and come to work. I did get CWM to install properly though. I was wondering if there were any clockwork mod flashable zips to root me. I don't want to wait til morning to play with this phone. Got it yesterday and haven't had anytime to play with it yet. I know there used to be. Just not sure if any exist for ICS. If I cant do that ill try some other methods in the morning when i get home from work. Thanks for any help or comments

Toss it my way. Correct none of the unlock apps will work for the I727, I've tried many. Your IMEI is still in the database, It is just AT&T not wanting to give it to you. Your best bet would be to use one of the MANY online sources. There are several that offer unlocking for under $10.00 others that offer for around $30.oo ish. Find one in your budget that will work for your time constraints and go with them.
As far as busy box, you have a few options from the market that will quickly and easily install it for you.

Don't know anything about the unlock apps, but are you installing busybox through the market and THEN opening the app and installing it through the app? If not, the app is worthless.

Bought Phone from Craigslist- Is it Rooted?

I bought this phone from Craiglist, and I want to find out if the phone is rooted. Also if it is rooted, how do i unroot it? Another thing, whenever i try to take away a screen by pinching two fingers the phone turns black, and doesn't respond for about a minute for saying unfortunately thouchwhiz has stopped working. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a lot.

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.

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.
