[FIX] Tnt mod based orientation fix for games

---

Weeds2000 fixed the orientation on our Folio100 to work with games like Asphalt5 and now its possible to play, although graphics are still kinda messed up. but other games like the 3d tilt works nearly perfect now too.

you might find it useful, and VEGAn mod might be able to include this as my FolioTntMod is based of the TNT framework...

Find the download patch i made for our folio in this thread.
it also include a full 360 rotation fix, if you need it :)

As we all share the same Tegra2 platform and can nearly swap experience here, im posting this to share the fixes weeds2000 made for us...

Hope you find it useful..

Note:
The patch i made might actually work fine as update.zip on your tablet as well, or might need minor adjust to install, but let g tablet modders fix this if needed.
at least now you know its available.

Thank you! One question - do you know what file(s) were altered for the 360 rotation fix? Was it a lib file, for example?

EDIT: Also, to any other modders looking at this, the system.img is a ext2 filesystem image, NOT a yaffs2 image.

Roeby wan Kanobi, is this something that could work and be added to TnT Lite? My Clockwork back up just completed

Yes, I can package it as a supplement - I just need to know what to package.

Getting my dev unit ready with TnT Lite 3.1.2. There's also a new music player apk I need to test out.

This could be another watershed update Also- with the accelerometer corrected, folks will be getting exercise by holding up the G while playing games

added:

Perhaps the one extra update that would be nice is a DSP manager so dB level or gain increases can be made. Modders released a DSP manager on the Incredible that allows increases to 3.5mm and speaker output. Hardware based EQ too.

Perhaps being too picky, but louder speakers would be nice.

Did you see.. they provided the SOURCE!!!!! This is what we need!

What does the patch change? Would is break things when the application developer fixes the orientation code in their game.

We saw this problem fixed in the application in the Gallery 3D application by google, not in framework. http://android-developers.blogspot.c...s-another.html

okay here are some details.
the framework.jar modified comes from this file: update-smb_a1002-3338-user.zip

the library should be generic, but is required for the gsensor/rotation/orientation fix as part of the new framework.jar changes.

the 2 primary folders in the framework.jar changed are /android/hardware /android/view

you should be able to easily spot the differences in filesizes..

do note: there is another change android\os\Environment.smali as i modified it to work with /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard/sdcard-disk0 and /mnt/usbdisk-disk0 for compatibility with folio mount functionality.
here is the "vold" also different but works fine with the tap'n'tap framework.
remember that /etc/vold.fstab needs changed to support the more new mount devices if you wish to use that one too.

360 rotation fix is in android\view\WindowOrientationListener$SensorEvent ListenerImpl.smali
orientation fix is
android\hardware\SensorManager*.smali

but again, the framework.jar is Tap'n'Tap based, so works directly on top of r3338 edition.. and i made a patch in my section with just framework + lib files included.

No, as far as i understand, weeds2000 only made the hardware swap sensor reading, so now it acts like a portrait mobile phone, where our Tegra2 has the chip rotated once 90degree.

Hmm, so it does a 90 degree rotation. And the device is still a default landscape device. We definitely need to make sure there are no negative effects on games that utilize the acceleromether and worked fine before.

I would assume that the android developers would recommend making this change to framework, instead of handling it in applications if there weren't implications.
