[MOD] Tuned auto-rotation for JS3/5

[xan]

Is your device changing its orientation to landscape way too quick?
If the answer is yes, read up, here is the solution.


I hate Froyo autorotation on Galaxy S.
It turns into landscape way too quick, even when I'm picking the device from the table.

Since there was no reaction from Samsung, I decided to fix this for them.

This involves decompiling framework.jar file, editing file:

android\view\WindowOrientationListener$SensorEventListenerImpl.smali

I attached a modified file. I dont exactly know what changes there are, I modified some values at random

For devs:

To be more serious, I decompiled SGS JS3 framework.jar and replaced WindowOrientationListener$SensorEventListenerImpl.smali from DesireHD's eViL-NXSense-HD-v.1.1_BETA (random pick). Having the right implementation of sensor listener i started to tweak it, changing some values.

If you want to tweak it further to your needs, focus on MAX_TRANSITION_TILT, MAX_TILT, PARTIAL_TILT constants.
(forgot to add) For a full reference: http://hi-android.info/src/android/view/WindowOrientationListener.java.html

Three files are attached to this post:
[rotation-fix]modified_JSX-CWM.zip - clockworkmod packages with fixed framework.jar, this is what an user needs
First boot after the update may take up to 5 minutes!
I do seem to have random errors due to firmware fragmentation. If you are a regular user and want this fix, you should rather ask your ROM developer for implementing it in his ROM, because at current state I cant guarantee if its compatible with ANY custom configuration.

auto_rotation_devs.7z original and recompiled framework.jar files form JS3/5 as well as original and patched smali.

//edit: lol accidently voted for front page Just a blind click sorry
On a second thought this might be interesting for more than SGS people, so maybe accident was not so bad.

let me try

not working for me

 

[xan]

You mean? Bootloop/no changes?
I need some feedback;
Is this working for you?
Do you like it?
It might be slipstreamed into all current ROMS, you just need to encourage ROM developers to do so

Hi xan. Good stuff, definitely an improvement over the factory settings.
Thanks for this. Flashing via CWM went flawless.

 

[xan]

thanks, I appreciate your feedback

Is there any chance to do same but on the JS5 framework?.


Thanks.

 

[xan]

Thanks, that will be great, because i hate too the auto rotation on froyo and this is what i was looking for.

 

[pinpong]

great work

it a little more quickly,

Unfortunately, not as fancy-rotation
keep it up

 

[bunnyguard]

It doesn't function at my SGS
Now my rotation doesn't work at all...

 

[xan]

Try harder ;p
JS5 version up.

 

[fuzijacz]

How about a revert back zip if something goes wrong?

I am on JS3, so I should use auto_rotation-FIX-CWM.zip or auto_rotation-FIX-JS5-CWM.zip

Thanks, Froyo's autorotation is pain in the ass.

Look forward to your answer.

Thanks.

 

[xan]

Both should work, according to my tests. auto_rotation-FIX-CWM.zip or auto_rotation-FIX-JS5-CWM.zip

If you are familiar with adb, just adb pull /system/framework/framework.jar

I doubt it wont work.. Anyway will look into it.

 

[shaarky]

Is it working on JPY too ?

 

[xan]

99% its not.

 

[htcgr]

does it work ok for js5....??? can i restore the previous WITH the original...???

 

[fuzijacz]

ok, I tried your fix, works fine, but one thing, and that is that mine volulme controls are absolutely messed up :-D

for example, when I click on a side to increase/decrease ringer volume, it says Playing via Bluetooth instead of Ringer Volume, or instead of Media Volume it says Silent Ringtone, etc...

It's quite messed up, I saved my framework.jar before flashing so I am back on my original.

I have JS3 ROM Darky's 9.2.

Any idea what could be the problem?
