Hi all,

This method requires root privileges!

From root explorer or similar program delete these folders and file


/data/system/sensors
/data/misc/sensors
/persist/sensors/sns.reg

Restart phone

Enjoy :)

So just out of curiosity, I came from an HTC phone, and I'm just learning this one, but I can't seem to find any of those files on my phone, I go to my root folder, and my /data and /persist folders are both empty, and ideas as to why that would be?

Nevermine, I found the problem with locating them, unfortunetly the root explorer I used on my HTC isn't working with my nexus too well -_-

I remember you from my Sensation days, will you be releasing any AOSP derivatives on here?

The problem is caused flashing ported rom, but it is already known from the 4.4.2 update. A large number of those who are updated from 4.4 to 4.4.2 lost sensors ... I'm glad that I helped a huge number of N5 users. :good:

Great... Just sent my N5 to repair a week/two ago because of Sensors lol after trying to port an Xperia Rom XD.
Awkwardly I used the sensor libs from stock Rom and modified stock kernel so I don't know how I came across it.

Even flashed stock factory image so I thought it was my hardware :/
