auto rotate function disabled? (solved)

hi guys my auto rotate function got disabled when I was flashing cyan new recovery image and I don't know how to fix it I tried the directions on his thread and I guess I just don't understand them. I am on cyan 3.6.8.1. can someone explain in layman's terms how to fix it? thanks and have a great day!

Check your settings. In settings-->sound+display, on the bottom see if orientation is checked

it is checked. no rotation.

Accelerometer might be broken. Try playing papijump.

what is papijump?

A game lol. Search it on the market. It tests if your accelerometer is working. If the little red guy won't move no matter how much you turn the phone the you know the accelerometer is broken or that there is a software problem.

Its not broken. Go to crayogens Rom the stable ones thread and in the faq on the 1st paste there is a command u enter in the terminal to fix the auto rotate I ran into this problem a few times myself and it was easily fixed be the script

Could be heres the script
20. My auto-rotate/accelerometer isn't working!
Not really the fault of the ROM, but here's how to fix it: Go into recovery, drop to console, "mount /data", then "rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*" and reboot.

solved thanks guys

how did you guys fix this because the commands did not work for me and i have tried numerous times

If the commands don't work u might wanna wipe and reflash. I say just make sure the feature is on, then try the script again and if all fails the wipe and reflash. I hate to wipe myself so try to avoid it. Try the script in the terminal in recovery then reboot and try in terminal in rom itself and reboot.

[Q] Need help with my semi-broken NC - what did I do wrong?

I have sucessfully rooted my nook and I can load apks from dropbox, installers or via adb so I am a happy camper, all is good....
But I got greedy. The ComicViewer doesn't work well without menu keys so I decided to install softkeys.apk and that is where the trouble started, something is amiss.
I am not an expert here, just a novice, so forgive my patchwork explanation.
Here's what I know and what I did, maybe someone can spot my error?
I can fully access adb.
I remember installing SuperUser and SU using the commands:
# adb shell
# cd /system/bin
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
# cat /data/local/su > su
# chmod 6755 su
# ls -l su
And all was fine, SuperUser shows up in the drawer. Then I tried installing SoftKeys and it never showed up or worked.
So I figured I fubared the SuperUser install somehow or have an old version of SU or SuperUser. So I downloaded the most recent versions and went to uninstall the original with uninstall utilities and it's not listed in any of them, so I tried using adb (adb shell ls /data/app) and it's still not in the list.
I even reset the Nook to factory and rooted again with nooter and when I tried to install SuperUser again (downloaded the latest version here on the forum) it said "Install Failed already exists!"
So I cannot uninstall the SuperUser or overwrite it with a newer version, and a factory reset doesn't fix it??
I cannot use any root utilities like SuperUser or z4root, SuperUser has all blank screens and I cannot update it and 4zroot just doesn't seem to do anything but reboot the nook.
Titanium Backup says I don't have root access and other utilities say the same thing,
I can mount system partition as read-write
> adb shell
# mount -o remount rw /system
# exit
That works...
So I tried the commands again to install SuperUser and SU and when I try to install SU
# cd /system/bin
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
are OK but when I do:
# cat /data/local/su > su
I get:
Cannot create su: remote access failed
I have also tried a few other things that seem to be available to root users and all come back with write or access errors.
What could I be doing wrong?
Note: I also tried to do a full wipe by using that Power and Volume Down and nothing happens...

Power the nook on and off immediately 8 times until it does a full factory reset. When I've done the Power+VolUp+Nook button reset it doesn't always seem to do a FULL reset. When the nook fails to boot 8 times it does a different reset that takes a good deal longer and (at least in my experience) seems to be the real deal.

z4root will work and install superuser for you.

I have already mentioned that that did not work, but thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Ok, something VERY weird is going on.
I have reset it to factory twice
Each time I did it by powering on and off 8 times in a row
The first time after it indicated it was updating th software, it went into a stuck at NookColor Logo boot loop again.
The second time I left in the nooter microSD card and it booted properly.
But it booted to a "clean" system with all my programs.
All my settings and data was gone, but all my apks were still installed.
So what exactly did it reset? Just data?
I tried to get it to flash both ways, the quick (power/home/volume) and now twice with the 8 power cycles. Neither reset the Nook entirely.
Am I screwed?
I want to go back to factory to fix this thing
EDIT:
Looks like I am locked out of the system entirely, none of my apps work, some of them come back and say no write access.
I cannot do an app listing like:
adb shell ls /data/app
I get:
opendir failed, Permission denied
I can't do a simple mount
mount -o remount rw /system
I get:
mount: operation not permitted

This should help you with what type of reset you want to do. I think you should do another 8 power on/off reset followed by a power-up-home reset to get it fully reset.

I tried that...
Now it's completely dead.
Won't power up at all.
It had plenty of battery life left and plugging it in will not boot it either...

Well that's a bummer! Maybe something went wrong in one of the resets. Did they seem to complete? If it's not a hardware problem you should still be able to revive it via nooter. I would suggest PMing pokey9000 and see if he can walk you through a recovery. You might be the first near brick that requires running some of the recovery commands by hand. I think Pokey9000 knows the most about that.

Yea, but it won't respond to anything, it won't boot meaning no power at all.
It's just completely black screen.
Nothing I do does anything.

Whatever you do make sure the battery is getting charged somehow.. Try to leave it plugged into the wall or in a usb. Does the computer see the device when plugged in? HAve you tried to remove the SD card from the NC while powering up?

Yep tried all those things...very frustrating afternoon so far
However...I did get it to boot.. here is how:
Press and hold the power button while inserting the USB charger connected to a computer, continue to hold (I think it was 10 seconds or so).
I remember doing this to reset a device a long time ago, not sure what.
But it worked, not only that but I was able to do a pwer/up/home rest and this time it completely wiped the nook. It looks like I am back to factory!
YES!!
Thanks for alll the help and suggestions guys. Hopefully this struggle will help someone else in the future.

OK. This time around, do this:
(1) nooter
(2) use ADB to enable Non-Market Apps
(3) use ADB to enable multitouch
(4) Use ADB to push z4root over to the NC
(5) Run z4root and do a full-root (whatever is NOT the "temp" option)
(6) Use ADB to install Astro
(7) Use ADB or Astro to install a market
(8) Install the rest of your apps however you choose.

I did 1,2,3,6,7,8 and in place of 4/5 I used the most recent version of SU and SuperUser and all is good on my Nook! Not sure what happened before but it must have been a bad version of su or superuser. In any case, all seems fine, only Titanium doesn't work, all the rest of the root requesting apps work fine.
Thanks!

Horizontal calibration broken.

So basicly at first, it was TOTALLY broken. It was stuck on landscape mode if i enabled autorotation. And in settings>display>calibration it just wouldnt move.
So then i deleted the file “ms3c_yamaha.cfg“ in data/system (with SU file manager in the market) and then rerun yamaha with QtADB ( entered the code below in shell)
Code:
su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha
I thought this fixed it, but playing asphalt5 for example doesnt work.
And when i go to settings>display>calibration; i can only use the top half, it just doesnt go passed the middle half below!
Any ideas anyone? I also tried clearing dalvik cache after it but it doesnt help.

Wow nvm, after doing this about 5 times, it finally works. Dunno what went wrong.

Keyboard Issue's, how to solve them!

Hi Guys,
This is driving me crazy. A lot of people, who are too lazy to search. Well, here you go.
Allright, you brought your Xperia X1 with android. Now, there is a problem. Once in a while, the keyboard does not respond, only action is a reboot. HELP?
Allright, lets get started.
Download this package:
http://www.mediafire.com/?cp1o1glxjo145pu
Install a android of your choice(just normally).
Unpack, and copy all (yes, all) contents to you SD card.
Move the turbo or Monster kernal to the NKBoot Map, click yes to replace any excisting files.
On your computer, open up the readme, and read it carefully.
After step 4(after you entered 'su') type this:
rm /lib/modules* -rf
That will remove your current modules, and at the next boot, they will be replaced.
Reboot, and proceed with step 5 and the rest. Follow the guide excactly, then you're good!
Have a nice evening!

Not Test, But Thanks You !!!! I Need

sorry to say but when i folled your guide to just after step 4 when typing the -rf
it says cannot remove read only file system
is that normal?
thanks

yes it is. just reboot after the error, then the new modules will install!

Just thinking ... a dev might know it this is possible ...
Hm, perhaps, best solution at the moment would be, to run the unload-load-script when the phone is waking up from sleep mode. So, when keypad is lost, the user can send to sleep with the power button an immediately switch it on again ... and additionally, the script can run when a call comes in ... don't know if these events can get picked up and the event-handlers can be changed, just thinking ...
Ciao
Klaus

Don't know if this could be a good option. Because I have had some freezes when runing the script. And sometimes the screen changes it orientation.

Shouldn't it be?:
After step 4(after you entered 'su') type this:
rm /lib/modules/* -rf
mind the /
Anyway, I tried both ways, and rm /lib/modules/* -rf seems to work, but I can't load back into CWM if I install a kernel with seperate keyboard modules. I think I mess up the exact order of installing normal, removing modules, replacing kernel, restarting. Hope this will work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072387

Yes. I can restart keyboard after freeze. Although with eggy monster kernel, my screen is rotated 90degrees after that.
No. I can't get back into CWM, after I switched to a kernel with seperate modules.
The original kernels of Honeycomb v3 both worked.
I tried the kernels with seperate modules of this post and i tried the ygge kernels.
Can this be solved? No. But apparently, there is a workaround http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072387.

when I type "sh /data/opt/autostart.sh" and press Enter, I get this error:
"insmod: can't read '/lib/modiles/microp-ksc.ko': no such file or directory
insmod: can't read '/lib/modiles/microp-keypad.ko': no such file or directory"
Can you help me?.
Where is kovsky keyboard modules????
I using ygge kernels with HoneyComb Froyo V.3
PS: sorry I used the same post in several threads

4X extremely slow after rooting/reboot

So, I followed the guide we all did here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818502
And before someone asks: I have deleted the Backup app (IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk) we had to install during rooting after the phone was rooted.
The phone then happily ran, rooted. SUpersu was installed/updated, the phones root check said it's all perfect, I was a happy camper. But today I had to reboot it. I can't say if it was the first reboot after rooting, sadly. The phone boots up, arrives at the lockscreen (some colorful defaultthing, before I get to see my GO Locker screen after login), and then stops being responsive, it basically at first feels like it's not reacting at all. Some things are responsive, strngely ... I get accurate sounds when touching the screen for instance. If I then wait, I eventually get to the SIM Unlock ... which is also totally unresponsive, it will maybe show two digits, then freezes up. Strangely, I could type the remaining digits and hit OK and the SIM would unlock ... but the screen no longer showed what I typed. I then arrive at GO locker, can unlock it (sluggish and slow again) and finally am properly logged in, but still totally sluggish and slow. Needles to say it's a pseudobrick that way, unusable.
What's going on and what could I check?

Please try the following:

Remove the "SystemBackupTest" app, if you haven't already.
On your phone, go to "Settings -> Developer options" and make sure "USB debugging" is TICKED
Connect your phone via USB to your computer.
Open a command prompt (may need admin privelages, right click, run as administrator)
Type without quotes "cd C:\o4xr" and press enter.
Type without quotes "adb shell rm /data/local.prop" and press enter.
Type without quotes "adb reboot" and press enter.

Thanks, that fixed it! It's not easy to do, as the scrolling lists do not work, either, and you can't seem to get to the developer options, it won't scroll. Strangely enough "internally" it seems to do things ... if you re-enter the options, they're down to the end of the list, it looks like it doesn't update the screen properly (much like when I had to enter the SIM code).
Anyway, it's fast again, whew ... I was scared. What is the local.prop thing, if I may ask?

I'm not entirely sure, I just know it gives us temp root for the rest of the root script to run.

Hm, so its' not a systemwide ini file or so, that existed before ... it was created during the above rooting process and was an undesired leftover from it? I'm always a bit worried if I delete something with such an unspecific name in the OS

Its actually created by the SystemBackupTest app.
The script then removes it just before issuing a reboot.
The only way it can come back, is if you accidently open that app again before uninstalling it.

It looks like you have either plugged in more than one android device, or you have an android emulator (from the SDK I guess) running. Unplug all USB devices (except keyboard and mouse) and then try again. Good luck!

If you have an emulator running try "adb -d shell rm /data/local.prop"
Edit: To see all adb-devices type "adb devices". This will return a list of all adb-devices connected (emulators + usb devices)

As you can see the same device is listed two times. Restarting the adb server may help. Just type "adb kill-server" and than launch the second command from your screenshot. Maybe this works.

The devices is detected and the command is executed, but the file does not exist. Make sure that there is a file "prop.local" at /data. If not, you may have a different problem.

Maybe you have an emulator running or Bluestacks installed... Uninstall Bluestacks...

I don't think that this is the case as the device shows up with a serial number in the "adb devices" list.
To be sure it is the correct phone you could compare the serial number shown in the list with the serial number of your phone (you might find this information in settings -> about phone).

An emulator is a program which emulates Android so you can execute Android-Apps on your PC. BlueStacks is an emulator. It may show up as an adb devices, but this is not the case here.
Back to your problem: Are you sure the rooting process worked?
Did you reboot your phone after rooting?
I didn't root my phone under ICS so I don't have any experience with this

no one raised this question to confirm or did this info was provided anywhere
What version of ROM? ICS V10x? JB V20x? User could had used the wrong guide.
Best way out is to do a reflash and retry rooting if all fails.
