A while back someone posted some sort of app, or a script of some sort that allowed the Vogue's D pad to mimic the presence of an accelerometer in the phone. Anyone have a link to this still?

That was DZO, he wrote a driver for it. seach under his posts. I believe that the sysinit.rc will have to be updated for it as well.
Hey guys, I heard this is added to the present version - how do we access it? Thanks!
touch the screen where you want to 'go'

Cool thanks, I'm still trying to figure out the Google Sky Map so maybe I just don't understand the app. I'm going to play with it some more - Thanks!
Some of the papi series games from the market still prompt the lack of an accelerometer and I can't seem to do any movements after forcing start but Armadillo roll is working great with the sensors tho.
Another greay game the works well with the sensors is jumpyball 3D

Ive tried a couple including one called screenshot with no luck. I cant seem to find one that actually works. I would like to update my signiture with my screens. I've also asked in a few threads about it with no luck
EDIT: Problem solved. Im using PicMe
shootme/picme works. You can find it free on market if you use 320 x480.

Agreed. I like Shootme. If you don't haver 320x480 market I think cp0020 posted the apk in his tips/tricks thread. Don't worry it's not a ware, as reddog stated, it's freeware
Thanks guys, i use 240x320. i did the market fix but i dont think it works anymore

Thanks i found it. Funny thing is, I checked this thread to see if someone mentioned a screenshot app and didnt see one. My apologizes.
ok, I just started up the app and it wants to use a shake procedure. and tells me, failed make sure i have root access. I changed it to movie mode and it took 500 pics in like 10 sec. lol Anyway to take a screenshot manually?
EDIT: i got it to say active shake phone to take a screen but that obviously dont work. What am i doing wrong?
Try PicMe.
I use that exclusively for all of my screenshots.
Works perfectly.
I got the job done guys thanks.

Occasionally. I believe it's androids built in memory manager purging the process as other items get loaded ontop of it. PicMe is a heavy application. It does a great job though when it's up.
Hey guys, I got PicMe from the Market but I'm having some trouble installing it.
It says:
"Failed starting server. Please check that you have ***ROOT*** access on your device... and enabled access to the lower level graphics."
Feedback would be appreciated.
I had extended the compass sample in the SDK to include the gyroscope. However, as I do not have a Nexus S, I was not able to try it at all.
Would anyone please check that the attached apk works properly in the nexus S for me.
It is a very simple application which does not read/write anything to the phone (just listens to sensors and plots a cube to the screen according to your orientation).
The compass part works properly (i checked it on my phone). I wonder whether it works or not when you toggle to gyroscope by clicking the toggle button on the screen.
I do appreciate any help.
who has balls to test this?
I sure dont
EDIT:
This guy below me does

Installs and gyro works fine while in landscape/portrait
But if you switch portait to landscape or landscape to portrait, it resets to the accelerometer.
I never realized how twitchy our accelerometer was. The gyroscope is amazing stable in comparison.
Thank you my friend.
You can't imagine how grateful I am.
Thank you very much.
PS: Thanks to your note, I realized that I forgot to disable the orientation in the manifest. (I had disabled it from the settings in my phone. That is why, I could not notice that).
Why does your app want to access Storage and Phone calls?
Also, do you mind trying to test the rotation vector sensor? I tried to do so, but it seems to lock up and turn into NaNs...

I would like to know what these guys are using to test the gyro on the NS.. Actually I am not sure this app is actually testing the app or the compass / accelorometer.
any ideas?

Works fine here. When changing the orientation. It resets back to ac c + compass.
Gyro so much smoother
Sent from my Nexus S
as everyone mentioned, its working well on Nexus S!
the gyro working is very fluid! if possible, can you please share the source code? i am mostly interested in how you filtered (low pass filter, kalman filter,etc?) the gyro data and how you mapped the gyro reading to the rotation of the cube? did you use the raw gyro data, or any of the other android function like getRotationMatrix(), get AngleChange(), etc.?
Hi, could someone test the photaf app out (in Market) as I am having trouble using it on my Nexus S. I have emailed the dev and he seems to think its a hardware problem or calibration issue. When you load it up and 'create panorama', select auto. Once it has taken a photo you need to move the camera right or left (it tells you) and there is a frame on the bottom left that should move too. Mine keeps juddering.
Can you let me know how you get on so I can report back to the dev.
I've used it once or twice with no issues.

I'm having the same issue. Did you find a solution? Was really looking forward to taking panoramas
This doesn't work for me either - I thought it was me not using it properly.
it's the borked gps / compass / accellerometers that are to blame, same problem for me. so yeah, hardware / driver issue. maybe the dev can "dampen" erratic values to work around this problem. and what an awesome app btw!

Hi,
I'm the Developer of Photaf. Did the latest Gingerbread update fixed the compass issues?

Yes, it did. The compass works fine on 2.3.4
It works better if you don't use auto and manually align it anyway.
Hi,
I've just released Dino Pop Live Wallpaper onto the Android Market (see link in my signature below).
Unfortunately I don't have access to one of your fabulous tablets - could someone please check it out and let me know if it works and if so, are there any issues?
Many thanks,

It's really great! I like that it's a game. It's pretty easy to pop the dinos but they really do start piling up. FUN!
Oh, and installed fine, Xoom friendly, no issues.
it gave me a little bit of lag, but it works. stock 3.2.2
is there a way to mute it?

Excellent - thanks for checking it out and the positive feedback!
If you like, you can toggle the game on and off from the settings (along with perspective, size, no of dinos etc) to run it just as a wallpaper.

Sorry it's lagging for you. I was thinking of throttling it back a little anyway - this should sort the issue.
You can toggle sound on/off in the settings in the donation version.
Just to let you know, I've now released:
::V1.0.1
Enabled 'Move To SD' ability - for those who are running tight on space
First things first, I'd like to wish you all hello, as this is my first post here and to XDA in general.
That being said, after getting much out of XDA over the years I figured I would try to give something back while experimenting with android!
I give you..
Droid 3 Custom Sensors Module
This enables/fixes our proximity sensor on hashcode's awesome kexec kernel so the phone screen blanks during calls!
The issue is with the sensors.solana.so proprietary library that comes with our phones from motorola.
So I compiled for us a new sensors.solana.so to use which is compatible with Kexec kernels.
Note: This library only controls accerometer sensor, light/prox sensor and orientation/magnet sensor so theoretically it should work the same, just with proximity working. But without more use I can't be sure.
Also in theory this should work for any flavor of Kexec releases, but I can only confirm cm10 currently...
Update[12/13/12]:
-Akm module is now working (Magnetic Field sensor / compass)
-Why is this useful?
Google maps should work better in terms of orientation
Compass apps should work now, along with any others that use rotation vector
-This required a driver edit to get it pointing in the right direction, so v2 includes newest hashcode kernel with the edit. i sent the code to hashcode, so hopefully if he incorporates these changes then this will no longer be needed.
Installation:
1. Download Custom-SolanaModule-v2[Kexec].zip
2. Install it like any other zip in ss3
Removal:
2. Download Stock-SolanaModule [Kexec].zip
2. Install it like any other zip in ss3
More Notes:
Attached also is the source code I used. I cannot claim writing most of it, as its more of a collaboration of various files that I found online for our sensors with a couple various tweaks.
Edit[12/13/2012] For anyone looking to implement this, just unzip v2 source code into root directory of your repo, files should go where needed.
Obviously a big shoutout/thanks to Hashcode/dhacker/jonpry and everyone else that got our D3's to the place they are now. This is just one more step in the right direction hopefully.
Thanks dudeeeee!! Someone should pm this to hash! It's great!

Thank you Jarveson!
I'll get this into new builds w/ a credit to you for getting this together.
Sweet! Good to hear that it works for you guys also! Ill try to see if I can get magnet and orientation working when I get some more free time.
Also, Thanks Hash! I forgot to say that it would be awesome if you were able to incorporate this in your new builds, it was really late/early when I typed that up initially

Is the magnet the way the dock is detected? If so, it's working. Both my car and home dock are detected that the appropriate app (CarHome Ultra or Bedside) are launched.
hm, I dont believe orientation and magnetometer sensors work, at least not fully, here's why
If you download for example android sensor toolbox or elixir 2 you can go to sensors and see that magnetometer isn't reporting anything, which orientation relies on, which the rotation vector relies on. Unless i completely screwed up my test build ive been using :/

Thats actually really interesting, but it might be that there is a separate magnet relay/switch used for docks
I almost have them working, issue currently is getting the compass to flop its yaw values, some reason magnetmeter x and y is swapped. Fairly certain its going to require a kernel/driver patch

Well, when I tick auto-rotation it works for me on CM10. But yeah the magnet might be broken.
I do want to add that the qwerty landscape/portrait mode is buggy. When I open my keyboard sometimes it's still in portrait mode.

Oh yes, that mode uses the acceleration sensor, which shows how tilted the phone is. Think of orientation sensor more of a compass.
I dont think ive experienced the issue you are talking about, I know some apps dont flip when you open the keyboard, but thats the app. Any specific times it does it ?

Ye sometimes when I wake the screen it's in landscape. Or other way around when I open the keyboard it doesn't wake. If I then press a key it wakes but is still in portrait.
Btw, I also need to reapply auto brightness occasionally because it doesn't stick to my custom light sensor settings. But that might be some bug because the sensor itself works fine
Oh, thanks for the work btw. Only camera "sensor" left now
Ok, i can see the magnet works now in GPS toolbox, thanks!
I should've mentioned that I'm not using auto-rotate - so the problem I described is probably not related to these sensors.
It seems that sometimes, it doesn't recoqnize that the QWERTY keyboard got closed or got opened, and therefore it sticks the either landscape or portrait.
This doesn't happen in GB, so it's not a hardware fault on the slide mechanism.
What is libsensors? and do I need to install libsensors to use your custom proximity sensor?

Libsensors in a nutshell is basically a translation library that takes readings from some various sensors on your phone and translates it into android events.
Any recent cm10/cm10.1 build should have all this built in at this point so manually installing this isnt needed anymore
