Rotation fix for CM10? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I was wondering if there's any way to fix this problem. When I activate auto-rotation, the phone rotates inverted, I mean when I turn the phone 90 it turns 270 and viceversa (screen upside down)
Is there any way to fix this?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972998 It worked for me. Should fix urs too

Thanks, but that fixes the slow accelerometer problem, not the rotation one. :/

I didn't find that kind of bug in cm10.....the rotation is working completely fine,....

It's annoying because when I play a video or game, you use landscape mode, but the screen always turns upside down, I think something is inverted. I'm using JellyVanilla Rom. Is this problem part of the Rom? Or Kernel?

Guys I found where the bug is, it's on the "sensors.conf" file on system/etc
Just copy the attached "sensors.conf" file in zip, on system/etc and replace the old one.
Or just open it with a text editor and edit with the values in the attached version)
Cheers. :good:
This is if you are having trouble with rotation, I mean you rotate phone 90 degrees and it turns 270 degrees (upside down) and vice versa. This fixes that. Also games like temple run when you tilt device left or right, works as it should. (Before it was inverted).

(FXP045) Issues and solutions for Mini Pro

FXP045 released, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16822404&postcount=4
Current Issues (FXP045) and unofficial fixes
Hardware keyboard layout scrambled - Old keyboard file is no longer in this ROM but appearently just pasting the old stock file (attached) to /system/usr/keychars/ fixes the layout. The included keyboard changer app force closes.
LEDs under soft keys Return and Menu - Replace /system/etc/hw_config.sh with the attached file.
Screen flicker upon turning on - New issue in fxp045.
can this work on Ray?
the flash does not work either
and the keyboard light does not work when use (when charging, it works)
and the max brightness is not very bright

I believe these fixes will work on Ray but you should find the stock values from Ray ROM because there probably are some differences.
Basically, only one issue you're having can potentially be fixed using SK17i fixes and that is max brightness by applying the fix for screen flicker. If you can't get a hold of Ray's stock values, try SK17's stock ones, but do a backup in recovery just in case.
thanks~
i changed the light.semc.so in system\lib\hw from stock 2.3.3, now i have the max brightness, but the keyboard light is on for ever! i can't close it!!!!the colour is always pink!
i think i can edit the file, i am in Mac, so is there a way to edit it without linux?

i'm editting these files on the phone. copy the file to sdcard to edit it, with any kind of text editor. i use edit function of Total Commander. then i copy over the original file in system with Root Explorer. backup original file to sdcard just in case.
dont know about Mac much, sorry.
root explorer is a paid app but i think ES file explorer has the required functionality

oh, i messed up the links. will be fixed in a moment =)
Per someones suggestion I've added modified files and instructions on how to replace the original CM ones.
yepsky!!
I found the background ligths for the keyboard
Code:
echo 100 > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness
I tested 100 and found it adequate.
We just can add it to the config file in /system/etc/hw_config.sh
I do not know if it stays lit when slided back, but it works as a first atempt

Amazing job! I'm gonna test it out now in a super dark place to see if i can check whether it stays on when closed. =)
I'll be updating original post with results and updated files in a bit.
Edit: Unfortunately keyboard lighting stays on and not only when keyboard is closed but even when phone is locked. Which means, its lit at all times. Won't be updating the files yet, because I don't know how much of a battery drain it is, but i'll put in information about it, so people can decide for themselves.
Nice to see process.
Now i need to find the button light for RAY

I thought that
Okay, there is a binary called slidercounter that or something similar sets a system var. If you take your dev Tools app and look unter Configuration there it is mentioned:
hardKeyboardHidden=2 <- if closed
hardKeyboardHidden=1 <- if opened
We now just have to find out where it occurs and if not we make a background script that ech0 x (100) or 0 into the node depending on the state.
But there must be a system process watching this we could use.
Don't hide, I'll find you anyway

did you look, if in ray the nodes under /sys are similar to the pro mini?
you can test using adb shell or terminal app cat'ing the node to see what's in it and echo'ing a number to see what happens.
You meant progress, didn't you
as I am using Scriptmanager anyway I made 2 oneliners besides the shebang that echo either 0 or 100 into the node called
liteon.sh
and
liteoff.sh
put the scripts into root of sdcard, start scriptmanager, choose liteon.sh and check run as root and save
Do this either way with liteoff.sh
Go to your Mangos Homescreen, add a widget, choose Script Manager and choose liteon.sh and in the next step liteoff.sh
You´ll have to Widgets, one puts light on, on off.
This is of course a workaround an will be implemented into lights module. Fxp knows about the fact already.

not the most elegant solution but it'll do until the fix is in =)
good job though
If I had more time I would have searched where the system keeps the var keyboardHiddenState or how it was called and build a condition of if it's open and not bright enough to switch in on/off
But how I understood fxp the fact about the light seems to be enough to get this working ..I hope so
new issue:
km launcher disturbes camera module.
I use the KM Launcher to determine which keyboard to use in which state.
Portrait: swype
Landscape: thumb keyboard
Keyboard open: hardware keyboard
This is a very cool application that worked perfectly on my rooted stock. If it is active the cam works in the cam app, but not in many other apps that use the cam, e.g. barcoo barcode scanner. I have to disable KM Launcher before using these apps. Hope it'll be fixed automatically in the next release.
I just cannot guess why that happens.
Hey guys I still have the problem with the over sensitive lcd backlight, whenever I'm in a brightly lit room the backlight starts going crazy and sometimes goes so dark I can't see the screen, it then goes super bright.
It repeats this several times a day
I've tries the fix in this thread but it doesn't work
Could someone attach the fix to this thread? As I've tried the the fix using terminal emulator
Thanks
EDIT: it started doing this while I was writing this
Sulkie did append the script to the first post of the thread. Did you test it?
send from a fruit called mango using xda app.
I did it before but it didn't work, I found the reason it didn't work was because I didnr change the permissions.
Sorry I got confused

SOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED about ICS on my MINI
Does it have Trebucher launcher and CM modified music player?
6 bugs so far on my Xperia Active:
- Home Button does nothing
- Bluetooth headsets won't work
I can pair and connect all of them but audio will keep playing on the phone only
BT-Heartrate strap works fine though.
- Audio Playback is stuttering (with both the default player and mortplayer)
- Browser does not work (loads for a while then crashes)
- no data connection (as stated)
- after the phone was lying around for 15m it was very unresponsive (was not able to unlock it) and rebooted by itself
i flash kernel and.... black screen
ST15i
edit: ok problem solved
Mini Pro (SK17i):
Bugs, in order of priority to get fixed:
1. Will not allow me to set an APN. List of APN's stays blank after I manually save my APN details. So, no data but texting and voice calls work on O2 UK.
2. Hardware keyboard doesn't work. Lights are operational. On screen keyboard works.
3. Rotation sensor stays in landscape mode most of the time.
I noticed when searching with Root Explorer that the following file exists:
/data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
telephony.db contains a large database list of carrier APN's, which all have an ID number.
My network (Giffgaff [on O2 UK]) was ID number 179.
Now, there's a settings file here:
/data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony/shared_prefs/preferred-apn.xml
the preferred-apn.xml file contains the line:
<long name="apn_id" value="-1" />
So I backed up preferred-apn.xml and changed the value from -1 to 179 and rebooted.
The preferred-apn.xml is mirrored in:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/shared_prefs/
and the mirrored file had changed to ID 179 too.
I thought I was on to something to force my APN setting into ICS but it didn't work.
I then went into APN settings and tapped 'reset to default' and Android just reset the preferred-apn.xml files back to ID -1 again.
Was I close in forcing it to use my APN??

Home button doesnt act as a home button, but as something else... Try going into the app drawer and press it once. You will see the first app get "selected". Also go to the browser and press it. It gets you to the top.
Browser closes if you havent installed gapps.
Audio Playback pauses for 10 or so milliseconds every 5 seconds.
Cant test the bluetooth.
Another graphical bug. When turning the phone sideways on the Wi-Fi security input screen, everything garbles up. If you press where the empty box is for the Onscreen Keyboard to pop up, it will work. Mostly a cosmetic issue but annoying
AWESOME !!
Hope you guys fix Camera Soon ! I am downloading this now .. will update about performance and stability soon.... !
EDIT:
Bugs Found in SK17i
1] G-Sensor doesn't respond,screen is always in landscape mode
2] Glitches while setting date and time
3] Failed to connect to 3G
4] vCard file importing failed for contacts backuped on SD card
5] In Dialer landscape mode all buttons stick together o.o

This garbled screen effect also happens when you try to edit the days of the week on the alarm clock (Mon, Tue, Wed, etc...).
It might be a bug in the composition of pop-up selection boxes, if you know what I mean.

Full screen rotation?

Has anybody looked at this? Some apps rotate the tablet so that you have to hold skinny side in portrait, which sucks. Would be nice to be able to rotate and hold fat side.
Hoping for that too.
hi
few days ago, i discovered "Ultimate Rotation Control"
There is a 7days (or longer Trial) at google play. I'm not allowed to post Links, so u have to search it by ur self, sure isnt a big deal.
Set it to Force Rotation, and Apps (inclusive market previews) will rotate like u want!
greets nuts
it also is a setting in 4.0 if im correct, could be a cm9 feature
yup
For some reason Sony limited the tablet to three axis'.
However with a orientation app you can use all four.
All of the orientation apps that I have tried reduce the performance of the tablet. Just try one, force an orientation, and try scrolling the homescreen. You'll see how slow it is.
Hmm, with Ultimate Rotation Control, i have no slow downs - its working like ever, only thing is, Apps starting in the right rotation, not upside down .
Until now i'm using the testversion, and its says 18days till end - not 7 as u get told in market. Hoping for ICS, too
However with a orientation app you can use all four.

could u tell me an App what do all 4Axis by auto rotation?
greetz nutz
URC works very well for me, but slows my launcher too, what a pity...
Search Set Orientation by Eyes-Free Project on Google Play, is simple and works nice.

CM10 boot animation

the CM10 boot animation was just released. You can download a zip with several different size and orientation options. (that sounded way too sexual once i typed it).
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/08/21/download-the-gorgeous-cyanogenmod-10-boot-animation/
Does anyone kow which size we would use for the touchpad? Would ANY of them work as they are, or does one need to be resized?
Thanks in advance
Cool. I know the TouchPads resolution is 768x1024. So if they have one for that, thats what I would use. I'm not sure what would happen if you used another size.
EDIT: I see they have a 768 file in there. So I would say thats the one.

I tried the 768 one in the Horizontal folder. It showed correctly as far as aspect ratio, except it showed in upside-down portrait mode. i.e. If you where holding the touchpad with the camera on the bottom and the home button on top, it looked right. I'm sure it would be easy enough to unpack, flip, and repack if someone wants portrait mode.
I used the 800 one in the Vertical folder and it also the right aspect ration, and the correct orientation for landscape. Looked correct in landscape with the camera on the left and home on the right.
I've attached the correct landscape one if anyone is motivated enough to make it an install zip.
I've attached the correct portrait one if anyone wants to flip it and install-zip it.
Nice. I'll try one out when I get home.
I had a boot animation zip of my computer so I gutted it and put the landscape boot animation inside. It flashed fine for me.
