I'm running the 01/06/13 official cm9 nightly. Whenever I open a compass app (I tried 2), the TP crashes (instant reboot).
Here's the link from rootzwiki, where someone else is experiencing the same thing :
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/38033-touchpad-gyroscope/page__st__30

I've installed on Oat's CM10 and am using Compass by Catch. Com and haven't had any problems . It appears the problems reported so far relate to CM9. I'm sure it will get sorted .

Change log?
Is there one?
I have patched to 12/16/12 jcsullins for testing only. Compass sort of works. Can't see anything else.

I'm sorry, I understand gyroscope was the last bug to get fixed on tp but what use is it to us?

I'd think it would let us play games like Riptide, NFSMW or Asphalt by tilting the TP like a steering wheel as opposed to touching the screen. Could also help with maps and navigation I'd think (among other things)...

I was already able to tilt steer. That's the accelerometer.

Isn't the Gyroscope just a 6-axis accelerometer? I'm probably missing the concept. What is the Gyroscope patch for? I just tried the 3b patch and feel like I just got the tilt steering working the first time, albeit inverted. Beautiful progress IMO. i didn't even realize it was an issue until the patch since I don't really use it for anything and i use my phone for maps. Would be interesting to see if this affects Google Sky Maps.

A gyroscope would be more accurate than an accelerometer for a steering control. An accelerometer is going to read zero if you are moving the device at a constant velocity for example. A gyroscope measures angular velocity, which should make for a much better response on steering controls.

Great work on the patch, I never knew the touchpad actually had a Gyroscope. As others have said, roll & pitch seem to be swapped with each other (v2 and v3).
If any of you guys need the APK for Gyrospace, grab it here.

[Q] accelerometer - not in some apps?

Seems the accelerometer works in some apps but not in others.
Examples:
aTilt 3D - Yes
TurboFly 3D - No
(some free 'bubble level' app I tried) - No
Anyone know why that would be?
Anyone care to list the apps they have tried and what the outcome was?
I've had a similar experience, the tricorder app recognized the accelerometer but a plumb bob/ protractor app did not. My rookie guess would be a driver problem.
Don't have an answer, but I noticed this as well: Screebl doesn't recognize the accelerometer either...
Don't some of those apps need a g-sensor (which as I understand it is different than an accelerometer...)

For kicks I installed Torque (OBDII reader; fairly useless for me on the nook without Bluetooth, although it does support WiFi OBD dongles), which also measures acceleration/G-force, and at first glance, that measurement appears to be working well.
I expect many things will probably start working properly once we are able to rid ourselves of this castrated 2.1; looking forward to CM7 very very much.
Hi, anyone figured this out? I am desperate to get Screebl working. all Screebl needs is the X and Y axis, which works in some other apps/games.
Reviving an old topic as I'm having the same issue: accelerometer works for Labyrinth Lite and Grow, but not Furdiburb.
Anyone with the same issue? I'm on CM7 by the way.
Any ideas about this?
I never really tested this out, but I remember trying one game a while back, and only seemed to register full 90 degree turns. Anything in between it would not pick up correctly. Maybe it has something to do with the way sensor data is read?

Issues in Google Maps / Google Sky Map (with video)

I had realized that the pointer in Google Maps doesn't point to the correct direction. Exactly like this video :
In Google Sky Map, its impossible to rotate 360 degrees, gets stuck in a certain area.
However, the compass works completely fine in pure compass apps, such as GPS Status, or the "Compass" app from Catch.com.
Could someone who have a Razr do a test and let us know if its working for you?
Your help would be much appreciated!
I can report the same issue!

Google Sky only works in horz., must be a Google API to the compass problem See if it works with the razr held flat.
Anybody else?
I can confirm having this issue in Google Sky Maps. No issue in the Compass app (Catch.com one), haven't checked GMaps, yet.
same problems here

Maybe a noob solution, but might wanna give the compass calibration tool in the GPS-status app a try, it fixed an orientation problem in Maps on my wife's charge...it was only reading accurate directions while moving...GPS vectoring worked, but when the phone relied on the magnetic orientation it pointed in the wrong direction... after compass calibration it worked fine

CM10 on Atrix 4G

Sorry to put this in General but I haven't met the requirements to post elsewhere and hopefully someone will see this .
I've been keeping up with the Atrix 4G CM10 Mod and have to say great work so far. The latest version fixes most of the issues I've seen in the past including the Camera and random reboots.
Few things it doesn't fix that may be either app developer issues, issues with the mod itself, or something I'm not thinking of; Netflix doesn't work , Triple Town (and some other games) don't work (I think this is due to hardware accel, but they work on my Flipside so I'm not sure that matters much).
Anyways just wanted to say thanks, and great work. Can't wait for the next update.

Just tried it but I'm going back to Turl's CM9 which I've been using for a month now. CM10 isn't quite as refined as CM9 atm, CM10 doesn't allow for transitions also the crt animation isn't functioning along with GPS(which also isn't working in CM9 for me), on the bright side Google now worked good on CM10 and is pretty cool.
Camcorder is working? Do Chrome tabs work?

Video is not working in the native camera app but you can apparently download a camera app in the maket to take video. Chrome tabs still crash the app. Neither of these will probably be able to be fixed until we get official drivers from ICS update.

Seems to depend on who you are, the Camera and Camcorder work fine for me under CM10 with the native camera application. Though it does crap out from time to time. I've had better luck with Pudding Camera being stable.
As for tabs, don't know, will have to look to see if they are working when I get home.
- Jeremy
Whitout acceleration, ICS or JB is useless =/ (no video cam, no 720p video playback)
Whaiting for the official one ^^ (It will be crapy but our deves will mod it)
I know, my english is terrible!
I have jokersax CM10 and my issues so far are:
-When the camera takes a picture with the flash on, the image is overlayed with a heavy green tint, also happened in CM9
-Cant see internal SD storage in Win7.
-Video worked at first (with delay) but now crashes with some gallery error.
-Can't get GPS to work but I'll try GPS test outside in a few minutes
-The animations are smooth but sometimes do this weird little jump back at last couple of frames, doesn't really bother me.
My battery life seems better than the CM9's I tried and the phone has been using deep sleep with CM10. That said, both 9 and 10 use noticeably more battery than CM7.
I also had issues with GPS on CM 9/10. I tried all the common fixes. Even going back to a blur-based ROM didn't fix it. Finally flashed my radio to 36P and now the GPS locks in seconds.
Jokersax CM10 JB 0.2 !!
Hi Guys,
I being a noob, installed Jokersax's CM10 JB 0.2 version yesterday. Had some nervous moments :fingers-crossed: when I soft bricked my phone. But finally recovered from that and could install JB. The following are my observations;
Working:
1) Camera
2) GPS
3) Google Now works. Awesome !! Very quick and to the point.
4) Music play back on phone speaker
5) DLNA works. Tested with Skifta and iMediashare
Not working: (Driver issues and app issues)
1) Chrome not working properly. When I zoom in, it crashes
2) Camcorder - recorded a short video snippet. But the file vanished from the gallery. Not able to find it or it did not record at all !!
3) Finger print
4) Stuttering slightly when moving from one desktop to another
5) No Webtop
6) XDA developer app
Will update this post when I do further tests
Thanks again to CM10 developers, Jokersax and to all those who have helped in getting this ROM to this level.

Sorry nh777 and all. In the excitement of having JB, did not analyse the thread.
I'm very pleased with CM10 Epinter. The small bugs and video camera not bother me so much as to not use more CM10. Bring on the libs official logo.
Amazing rom and theming questions
I have installed CM10 on my Motorola Atrix from Emerson Pinter and found that it works amazingly. Some minor issues involving the camera, gps, and sometimes frame lags, but other than that, it seems to be a pretty stable build. Battery is amazing compared to most other roms. I get a 25 hour battery! Thanks EPinter! I just have one question and hope someone can help me, even though it doesn't exactly pertain to this topic. You know when you are at the lockscreen, you tap the lock and you can slide it to wither camera or unlock? Well, I was wondering if I could change the little dots in the background, maybe change the color or something along those lines. Does anyone have any information on that?
Thanks,
Luca

Wouldn't a different theme do that?
Sorry for reviving an old thread (I thought it would be better than not using the search function) but where can I get the latest version of cm10? I mostly need a functioning camera again which this jokersax ROM doesn't seem to have working.
I understand that Motorola has pretty much killed off any hope of a fully functional jb but I only want a working camera.

Framework-res.apk & Camera Issues
No. I have tried so many themes and none of them have made a difference. I forget where, but I read an article that the image was in framework-res.apk. Any help? On a side note, my camera on JellyBean has been REALLY bad. Is that a result of unofficial drivers? If anyone has a fix for any of these issues, please please please contact me!
Thanks.

Sorry, my bad, I only just realized the theming engine cannot theme the lockscreen. It's a known limitation of the engine.
You could always decompile your framework-res, find and change the relevant file, and then compile it back...
Audio over bluetooth (Epinter CM10 20121011)
Hi guys,
I wanted to post this in the dev thread but was not able to do so as I do not have the required minimum 10 posts.
I am using Epinter's CM10 Oct 11th version. I am having a small issue with it.
I am not getting audio over bluetooth. Does anyone else facing the same problem?
I tried to un-pair and re-pair, reboot etc. But nothing worked.
It would be great if any one can solve the issue.
Thanks,
Trying to get to 10 posts so sorry if already mentioned...
On Jokersax latest CM10 build and have a camera issue as well, no preview of what I am taking, it seems to take a picture as I can see thumbnail afterwards, but cannot view the thumbnail or change location for default directory... Only bug I found so far, less than 12 hours testing...

chrmhoffmann's CM10 discussion thread: Problematic games

Here's where we shall list the games that just don't work on the latest build of this rom.
If you don't mind, the smart people figuring things out with the rom would like you to test and report back, and report any other games that just don't want to work.
Just reguesting that people get a logcat/dmesg and if your device crashes, a last_kmsg.
The List
Temple Run
Shadowgun
Dead Trigger
Sprinkle
Mayhem
Pinball Pro
Glow hockey 2
Spirits
Here is a Last Kernel Message after testing some games and browsing the GUI.
Here are more Interesting reports.
I was able to catch a glitch from what it seems LCD or Refresh distortion and also some more Logcat Crashes
New misbehaved games:
Free from market:
Mayhem : Touch screen freezes game. Most problematic games do that.
Pinball Pro : 3 dots mute and unmute sound Pressing 3 dots i manage to crash Nook Tablet SOD then reboot/shutdown.
Attached here is a Logcat with Game Glow Hockey 2 that screen goes black when you start main game, and also i included Pinball Pro strange behaviour when pressing 3 dots mute/unmute audio.
Also Last kernel message after i leave Glow Hockey 2 displaying black screen for 1-2 min wich caused a reboot issue.
Spirits doesn't work.The game loads, but hangs after attempting to start a new game.

while many would love to help you fix your wifi issue, you need to provide more details than "wifi won't stay on"
assuming that you are on the latest version of chrmhoffmann's CM10 (per the thread title)
what is the environment and what are the symptoms?
is this your home wifi router?
how far away is the router?
is it secure?
are you getting interference from another router or transmitter, clutter on the channel?
what have you tried so far, have you re-flashed the ROM?
give us a little to go on and maybe we can help

So sorry. After I left the post I was thinking maybe it wasn't the right place.
To answer your questions...
I could be anywhere in my house. Signal could be very strong of very weak. The router is about 3-4 rooms away in a basement. I never had these issues with CM7. My router is secure WPA I believe. I'd have to double check. I'm not sure about any interference... But I can try to figure that out. (But never had issues with CM7)
Most of the game titles I have tried so far come from gameloft. Order and Chaos, Nova 2, Nova 3. I watch the numbers count up and they go very quickly say 30-40 mb in a few seconds then very very long pauses.Then another 30-40 mb in few seconds and then another very long pause and then after a while longer the wifi connection is lost. I go back to the main screen to find my wifi has actually turned itself off. Short downloads seem to be ok. Larger downloads are not. This has also happened to me if I surf on the unit for a very long time.
If this isnt the right place I apologize. I can't seem to to find a place where I'm allowed to post yet..
Thanks,
JT
Problematic games are a little less problematic
Greetings. Since the introduction of CM9, I've found that many games and applications weren't handling touch events correctly and consequently, caused games - like gta3, shadowgun, and battleheart - to crash, hang, or not display ui elements correctly. This was very depressing indeed and I'd often stare down at my nook tablet regretting my purchase. I honestly felt Gingerbread simply didn't belong on a tablet and the stock BN Rom felt very antiquated for my tastes. I was stuck, or at least I felt that way. CM9 - now I'm using CM10 - was nice, but none of my favorite applications would operate the way you'd expect.
However, thanks to some very diligent gentlemen over in this thread , games and apps that once behaved awkwardly with regards to touch events are now working fine! I somewhat feel inclined to include a "games that are now working" list, but honestly, everything I've thrown at the nook tablet since updating its firmware and patching the fixed kernel driver, has worked wonderfully well. GTA 3, Raymans jungle run, GLWG, Battleheart, deadspace; old or new, many problematic apps are responding to touch events now, and nook tablet owners should really give CM10 a go. I even tried a few lesser known games that would hang due to mishandled touch events and they now work, too. The nook tablet is looking really sexy now, folks :laugh:
tl;dr
mik_os updated our touch panels kernel driver to support a firmware that enables concurrent 5-finger touch. I think he also "sexied" up the touch handling, which resulted in some applications working better - with regards to touch events - than they did before.
Also, once you upgrade your touch panel to this new firmware, there's no going back! You're stuck with CM9/CM10, but I honestly don't think that's a problem

Not correct. You can flash stock firmware for touchscreen, thus revert is possible

Google Maps 7.0 Problem/Glitches

Hey all, wondering if anyone can shed some insight for me on this. HTC Rezound running CM 10.1.1 downloaded the .apk file to install the latest and "greatest" google maps v7.0 and I was having some issues the first day and uninstalled/reinstalled a few times. Just took this video (sorry for awkward quality never videoed myself on another phone before =P) of me just moving the screen around and how it's tearing etc. I also went to the settings menu and it was tearing as well. This also happens on the navigation portion as well, just in the time being (at work) just threw this together real quick.
Any insight would be great! Maybe others are having this annoying problem too =/
Thanks
Video Link
UPDATE (7/11 - 2:36pm): Enabled "Force GPU rendering" in developer options and still have disable HW overlays, haven't had as much of a problem as I did in the video above. Will keep testing it though. I feel that the gpu rendering option did help a tremendous amount as well. I also set my CPU governer to "interactive" instead of "ondemand" and raised the max to 1620MHz up from 1512MHz. Will update if I don't experience anymore issues or do =P
Update (7/11 - 3:42): still having the issue app can be restarted and sometimes work right but will soon stop working properly again...
This just makes me want to NOT update right now... on Infection 2.8.1 (CM 10.1 based), think I will wait and keep using the older version until the bugs are fixed, or switch to Waze again like the last time the Rezound has Maps issues.
Omg. I hate the new version. I'm can't come to grips with loosomg built in latitude either. Any heros out there care to post the last non 7 version here?

cool, thanks.
When I'm Navigating, the "Turn right in 5 miles" panel keeps flickering every time the map center updates, and each time the panel flickers off, the map panel expands to compensate, then shrinks back when the panel reappears. Sometimes when this happens, the map panel has artifacting, and it gets pretty hard to navigate certain roads I've never been on before.
The flickering rate appears to be about 2-3 times a second.
