CM7 G-sensor calibration?

Anyone know where or how to calibration the G-sensor in CM7?

BUMP......
At first I was all 'what a dumb question' . Then I looked for it, and I can't find it.
So yea. I'm now wondering the same thing.

Bump. Help us plz
Can you clarify what sensor you're talking about e.g. the G-force, GPS Sensor or Compass or ... ???
And don't just reply "The G-Sensor".
Also, please be specific as to what the issue you are having that makes you believe the "G-Sensor" needs recalibrating?

i used "g-sensor calibration tool" (from internet) for HTC HERO with cyanogenmod one & half year ago... but i don´t know if its available for HTC DESIRE HD...
if you want and noone answer you..... you can to post it or browse in www.cyanogenmod.com official site...
cyanogenmod hasn´t a native calibration tool
Sergi, is this the sensor that you can reset by waving the phone around in a figure of eight or is that for the compass?

is like that the sense roms has in settings-screen-g-sensor calibration.
you can reset it with a level figure.. look the thumbnail
also i remember that with amon´s ra recovery (htc hero) u can do "wipe rotation status" and there´s a tool for calibrate it in cyanogen but i don´t know if its available for desire hd i still never flashed CMxxx.
cheerss
Ahh that.
Whilst it doesn't work the same way if you download GPS Status, go to menu -> Tools there is an option for calibrate pitch and roll.

oups! have doubts
i only know that this tool its for calibrate the sensor for gamming AND GET FIX FOR STABILITY for some apk... (you know the tetter game? its a ball that you handle for the screen moving the device...)
this game needs to calibrate g sensor...
The example is a bilge but it clarifies about that we speak
by the wait i think that they are talking about this sensor concretly.... LOL

The Desire HD has a G-Sensor:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/desirehd/specification.html
You would recalibrate if you feel that the screen orientation does not respond properly to the way you hold the phone (portrait vs landscape).
On the stock ROM, you would do this by:
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
Tap Display > G-Sensor calibration.
Place the phone on a flat and level surface, and then tap Calibrate.
After the recalibration process, tap OK.​
AFAIK there is no equivalent provided by Cyanogen.
No but you cab use an app like GPS Status that has a tool for calibrating this. Works perfectly.

yeah i have same ur problem
we want a sloution
I read the forum. I'm on Android. I don't know the Bada system but if the operating system does the same thing, then you may have somewhere, the option to calibrate the sensors in the settings option. Any more than this, I would opt to go back to your original os, until you've found out where to go on this forum.

How did you notice that? Maybe it's a bada 2.0 Bug...
Did you tried to flash Android on Bada 2?
Did you removed Android before flashing bada 2.0?
That is Android's fault and mainly user's fault also
Devs stated that sensors doesn't work in Android though you find people trying to calibrate them
WTH is the user doing by calibrating the sensors in Android ????
bada sensors calibration is screwed up
for motion sensor calibration try to put your phone on a horizontal floor and calibrate it with this code *#66225*#
for other sensors i don't know what you should do

[Q] Xperia Acro S - Proximity Sensor problem after update to JellyBean

Dear all
After one month using my Xperia Acro S updated to JellyBean I realized that the proximity sensor is not working.
During a call the screen doesn't turn off avoiding touch on the screen, but before the update, with ICS, it was working very well.
What I tried to do, but without result:
1st recover JB by device
2nd recover JB by PC Companion
3rd flash JB by Flashtool
I tried to Google, but I didn't find a solution to fix this problem for Acro S...
I tried *#*#7378423#*#* and tested the sensor, and it always shows "off"
I tried lots of softwares that make changes to the sensor, and they don't work (recognize the sensor?)
After sometime I realized that the problem may be the JB and not the device, as the ICS was working, so I flashed to ICS again to confirm. As I expected the sensor was working properly: I typed *#*#7378423#*#* again and checked the sensor and it changes to "on" everytime I cover the sensor.
Somebody is experiencing the same problem? Could you fix it? How?
Thanks...

Hi...
I proceeded as suggested and it still doesn't work. I flashed with the new Flashing tool 0.9.11.0 by Bin4ry and Androxyde and the sensor is not working.
I flashed to ICS again and it works very well, I don't understand...
What I noticed is that the sensor seems to work together with the light sensor, in the same position. Somebody knows if the sensor is the same? In the ICS the proximity sensor works when I cover the same part of light sensor (left from the speaker) and not in the right between the speaker and front camera.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Nobody knows?

Hi bluechip850
Thanks for the suggestion, but as I told I tried this and the sensor is working well in ICS.
By the way, I'm still using ICS due to the sensor is not working in JB.
I really would like to use JB, mainly because I noticed that the battery in ICS gets low faster that JB.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Wait for the new update.

can confirm it is JB 4.1 and 4.2 bug, xperia s lt26i offical Sony JB, xperia z1 offical Sony JB , proximity sensor off and stay off all the time, prestigio 4044 same, prestigion 5050 same, samsung s4 same. Don't have more phones to try, will test as I get any other in hads. So far only bug I found in JB but anoying one as it dont lock screen when call is on and phone on ear, so I press a lot of buttons during talk

My phone is a Xperia Acro S (LT26W) JB 4.1.2
I need to power the screen off manually every time I want to answer or make a call. I just fast press the button of the power just to turn off the screen and avoid to touch the screen accidentally.
When I finish the call I also need to fast press the button again so I can access the screen options again.
It is so boring, but I just found this solution until the next update. I didn't find any other solution or software to change or turn on the proximity sensor. I actually found some scripts, but I don't have experience to change the system and I don't want to kill my phone, so I decided to wait to the next update instead of downgrade to ICS again, which was working well, because of the improvements that JB provides.
If you find some information that can fix the proximity sensor, please tell me...

well forgot to say, was searching on net and got that infor about software "smart screen off" it is made by someone from here on XDA. Decided to give it a try, installed it from playstore, it makes one icon on deesktop which function like simple button, when u press button proxim. sensor starts working and acting normaly, when u press it again it switch off so proxim sensor again not working as it is JB bug so JB keeps it off all the time when there is no other software which will enabled it directly, so go go try it I hope it will work for you as well.
Didn't work

I wouldn't like to say that just the software couldn't work.
The proximity sensor in actually disabled in my phone. I need to turn it on first to use any software to manage the proximity sensor. I thought that this software you told would enable the sensor, not just manage it.
Anyway thanks, if you have another suggestion I would be pleased to try
It seems like somewhere in the system a value to have the proximity sensor on during a call is set to off, find where its located and copy it over from ICS to jb and you should be good to go

Nice idea, but can you explain or send a link how to access the system and make this changes?
Thanks
This is just an idea, if someone has a build.prop on the same phone and same version that has no issues with proximity post it here then OP flash to jb delete your build.prop and paste theres in your system folder. Else you could try copying your build.prop from ICS and pasting it in jb. Supposably that is where the issue lies on some phones. You may also want to flash a jb firmware that isn't stock, any ROM from the xperia s section should work. For editing the build.prop you need root and a root browser then go into system and at the bottom is build.prop. you may also want to read your build.prop and see if there are any lines for proximity in there
It seems as though you're not in touch with the android system, no offence, so I'd take the easy route and flash a jelly bean firmware from the across s section, this should work perfectly fine for you because its simply the stock ROM that's the issue and had a regression and most devs will fix this in their ROM.

Well at my lt26i it is same, prox sensor in settings is always off, so it is disabled and can not be enabled, but still software I said somehow when I press button for software enable it do enable prox. sensor and it working but its controled by software not by systme itself. And I dont getting it as with software enabled system still showing prox sensor as disabled.

Thanks for the explanation, but in my Acro S it didn't work very well. In my oppinion is more effective to press power button quickly to turn off the screen, because sometimes the software seems that is not running and it doesn't turn the screen off automatically....

How to solve proximity sensor issue

I recently had an issue regarding the proximity sensor on my DHD and I tried many different ROMs and calibration apps but none of them worked. Seems like the problem is the dirt that blocks the way of the sensor. I cleaned the grill from the dirt and everything is now OK. Hope I helped someone.

Hi have you tested the proximity calibrator app?
Setup of proximity sensor isnt the main goal of roms...
Look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951858
Set values, test it if the sensor shows "near" or "far" or adjust it more.
My DHD needs LOW = 2; HIGH = 3; and it works...
oh , and in Cyanogenmod 11 by mustaavalkosta, its already installed i think.

That's what I had to do in the end as well. Remember that these phones first came out in Oct. 2010 (when I got mine ....!!) so plenty of time for dirt to build up. Check the Proximity Sensor thread for links on disassembly but I followed this site ... http://www.beardeddonkey.com/home/comments.php?y=12&m=04&entry=entry120428-040327 ... to take mine apart. Not all of it, just far enough to clean out the PS. All good after that.

[Q] Accelerometer

Hi, when i play games that use the accelerometer the accelerometer dont woks well.
I calibrate it on Advanced Ace2 Settings.
But still dont woks well.
I use 2 roms, and the same thing.
You know what i have to do?
sorry for bad english
Try to describe it little more, what is wrong with it? Some new roms have problems with it, sometimes I have to calibrate it, than I have to use default settings, otherwise the screen is rotated to landscape even when it should not.
