My Xperia SP compass and gyroscope doesnt works...
pretty weird, i can't seem to make any parallax wallpaper the way it should be, it's like it only uses accelemeter and doesn't have gyro or gravity sensor
Someone? i would like to know more about this issue..
I think is problem for you? what about service test like the guy in the second post? have u tried? that could mean u throw ur phone or something like that, for me both service test and parallax wallpaper works fine
Yep, for me it also works fine.
Once I accidentally dropped my phone and the vibrations(haptic feedback, etc.) stopped working.
Maybe it's not the best solution, but I hit the phone with my hand and it was fixed.
Btw, thanks to that problem, I noticed the existence of Parallax wallpapers.
Steve, exactly, i have apps to test sensor they are all working.. parallax wallpapers don't work like in devices with gyro, just watch some videos on youtube and you'll probably notice what i'm saying, can you test it anyways to see if u have the 3d effect?

I used the Asteroids 3D LWP to test it out and it works perfectly fine, like on iOS 7 device with that parallax effect.
Hey steve, i'm not sure if ur talking about a real 3d effect where things really seem to be there or just the thing i get that doesn't look like 3d at all.. i just tested that asteroid live wallpaper and there's no 3d effect as i suspected, every sensor of my phone is working the way it should, again, i have many apps that show me my sensors and if they are working or not and everything is fine.. btw phone is new and i never dropped it, anyone with ideas?? anyone at all that has a different phone with gyro that can teste 3d wallpaper and test back on sp to see the differences?

Hey everyone,
i'm looking for an app to use the X1 as a webcam. I tried Webcamera Plus and Mobiola Web Camera but non of them worked. Seems like they couldnt find the x1 camera so anyone knows some app that works?
if your lookin to use it as a webcam for your computer check out mobiola...
mobiola webcam works fine with my xperia... and its very easy to use, plus it has the feature to actually broadcast ur mobile screen.. thats so cool
When i installed Mobioa Webcam i could see the Xperia Screen on my computer but it didnt use my camera. Can you explain me what i have to do so it uses the camera?
Im looking for a webcam app to use on my xperia. I used a program, forgot the name, that actually allowed me to use the xperia camera as a webcam while connected to the internet. Came in handy while talking to family while i was in Brazil. The only problem is the program didnt seem to utilize the front faced camera on the X1. Anybody have any apps that have enabled them to make use of the front facing camera? And let me specify, when i say use the xperia as a webcam i mean without connection to a computer.
Check this one out. I think this is what you are looking for.

ateksoft WebCamera Plus is the best web camera software for winMo but unfortunately doesn't work fully on HTC platforms ... nor on X1
Anyone have information about any other webcam software?
Ok i now managed to get WebCamera Plus work but the quality is really ****ty :/ I think i better buy a normal webcam but thank you anyway.

Well I'm not sure what you want to do with it.
However just check Bambuser

I just wanted to use my X1 as a webcam for messengers like wlm.

gsmarena doesn't specify that P970 has gyro while other sites say yes.
Read the description on the following video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQgMlhJ7GaE
quote:
The LG P970 (optimus black) DOES have a gyroscope.
In particular, it includes this one: Invensense MPU 3050, the same as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Lenovo IdeaPad K1 and the Acer Iconia Tab A100.
P970 sensors:

thanks radkor,
But why even LGs official sites doesn't state that it has gyro?
Can you recommend me a practical app or game to prove it?
I played Brothers in Arms 2 with gyroscope. Without it game becomes very hard to play.

The application uses the gyroscope sensor to improve stability. You can install this free application on your Android device. Just look for "steady compass" or "kalman compass" on the Android Market.
I already install it and it works like a charm.... I dont have to activate my gps to know where is North is...
Thanks guys! The gyro works flawlessly in Brothers in Arms 2! It made me glad i didn't opt for the Galaxy SL. Maybe i'm deviating from the main topic but can anybody recommend me more virtual games and apsp that utilizes the gyro?

Glad it helped. New high-end games all have gyroscope support. But i don't know if our phone plays them flawlessly. It has 1 core at 1GHz. I play them on iPad 2 to get maximum joy. Cos i hate lags and freezes during game. I experienced a little in BiA 2. Even got killed because of that. So i don't have feedback on them but i can suggest this:
Labyrinth from illusion games. Good game if you ask me.
I hate my SP's camera. Picture looks ridiculous when i zoom any picture that taken from my SP.
Now feeling jealous to see a lot of sample image captured from SP. Like, check this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755010
Can anyone please tell me how can i fix that issue or improve camera quality, currently i'm using eXistenz Ultra 3.3.0 ROM & Xperia M Camera Mod by niaboc79.
I use manual mode to take that image on below, please zoom in this photo to see how Ridiculous that is-

digital zoom has never been good in any phone

I know optical zoom is better rather than digital zoom.
Check this(taken from my phone)- http://www.arif-khan.net/xda/sample.JPG
& also this(taken from another SP)- http://www.arif-khan.net/xda/DSC_0811.jpg
Check quality, Zoom-in etc you can feel the difference.
But is it the phone or the rom?
Could try this Xperia M cam port by dipesh, to see whether any difference..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701096
Seems like having better focus than stock.. one problem though: FC when manually setting iso.
Better keep a cwm backup if you're gonna try this.. I don't know whether it works on existenz rom.

Hi all,
I've been working on a simple watch display that gives you a virtual aquarium on the watch. Do you happen to know how I'd go about turning it into a widget? As it is, it launches as a normal app and that's fine but I'd like it to be something like a watch face.

I think it's cool to have the tiny fish swimming around, the neon tetras swim around as a shoal and the angelfish float around fairly realistically. If you tap the screen, they swim away from where you tapped. It wouldn't be hard to add some other functionality like the ability to feed them by tapping the top of the screen or something but the app closes when the screen times out.
Any comments?

Nice and you now have 11 post! That's one tiny virtual fish tank......lol. Really neat work.

Thanks and here's a video!

No offence, it's nice that you're building something, but this is one awful looking aquarium. Perhaps add some water texture, and use better fish images...

Feel free to contribute some better images if you want or if you know someone else that could, point them here. I just used those ones temporarily while I got it to do something. They were resized (badly) from another project I had to fit the Gear screen.
I am a pro 3D artist azeemdesigns.com and one of the purchasing decisions for this phone (11T) was super wallpapers. I really really liked them. Now i am kind of bored with them. There are only 6. And xiaomi isn't adding new.
If someone could explain the process of adding and coding them to the phone. I'll be happy to develop new wallpapers.
Who's interested.?
I don't think its possible to insert your own. Superwallpapers are rendered locally on the phone, they're not just regular video wallpapers.
However, maybe you could give video wallpapers a shot
(PS I would be interested if you somehow managed it to work)
There are some apks available for super wallpapers. Those are ports for other phones. I was checking them and yes positioning is mentioned in code. But i did find some pictures (maybe preview pictures). Or maybe existing pictures are being moved based gestures and sensors. Need to dig deep.

Video wallpaper is a good idea too. But not same as super wallpapers. I think i will try it.

Good luck dude. Sounds like you already know more about this then me.
There an app called CWLP Custom WallPaper
It's been made for customizing wallpapers and you can literally create super wallpapers but not in the high quality as xiaomi do
I think some one with experience in inversing engineering maybe can know how it works
I think so
Did you managed to get in these photos? can you replace anything inside of them yet ?
