I thought this is fixed in 4.0.3...

Voted. Hopefully Google does have this fixed in the next incremental update. It does feel like it takes a bit too long for the screen to rotate. I understand that they didn't want to have the screen rotating inadvertently, but I think they went just a little too far. It isn't awful but it could definitely use improvement.

It doesn't need fixing as it was deliberately set that way by Google - it's not a bug!
I like the delay as otherwise the phone would be changing orientation all the time as I move!!!

They should let users decide if they want a delay.

I like how people argue about how Android is so awesome cause of it's customization and it's open etc and then when there is a design decision made that people hate, others have to defend Google by saying how good the decision is and nothing needs to be fixed etc... If it's so great and open and customizable then Google should let the user decide if they want a delay or not.

There is no issue if you watch YouTube reviews it has been said that this is clearly a transition effect. Every person that has showed the screen rotation has the same effect and supposed "delay"
I think some of you are comparing it to the iPhone transition when rotating. AOKP has a speed up option I lowered mine and its fine.

It would seem people having this 'issue' are in the minority. With the beauty of open source why not fix it yourself ?

Wouldn't that be the same as having the user decide to root their phone to make it faster? This topic is pointless, if your really that nit picky about an issue and want more to customize, then flash a rom. Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it.

did you do a sassy z-snap in the air after you typed that? because that's what i envisioned, reading it.

Do people realize that this is not a bug? Before 2.1, android had instant rotation but around Froyo, they added 200ms delay to prevent accidental rotation because it happens quite often and it's annoying. You could just look at the source for a moment and realize this. If you want to change this value, just change it back to 0ms or 50ms.

The delayed rotation isn't an issue, but it's pretty buggy and doesn't register often, like the sensor falls asleep and u gotta shake it to wake it back up - then it works fine again (with the proper delay).

I always chuckle when my wife shakes her phone, thinking it will wake up or rotate due to shaking

It's like my Dad when he used to move the Nintendo controller when Mario jumped - couldn't stop laughing!

>.< hahahaha "oh no you didn't!" /z-snap. But in all honesty I've seen the OP do nothing but complain about the gnex in the forums. Just makes me wonder why "she" ( if its even a girl) bought it. First the gpu because of a live wallpaper? And now this.

Realtime rotation (like when playing a racing game with gyro) would be [email protected]@ss

hi DanDroidian. HiddeEye functions as device admin to monitor screen unlocks. you must first deactivate it before you get to uninstall it. no need to worry.. thats how device admin apps work..

Fair enough.
Ifirst went to "manage apps" and it was NOWHERE to be found.
I finally deleted it with Titanium Backup.
When I went back to the Market, it gave me that screen shot and neither option worked at that point.
I guess it's uninstalled though.

I'm just interested in enabling it when I leave the phone lying around the house/on the bar/on my desk in work/etc to see if anyone's accessing it. I don't want to pin/pattern lock it as my kids play games on there, and it will draw suspicion if my phone is suddenly pin/pattern locked.

[LWP][v0.6-pre] Crystal Reflection sensor-reactive Nexus 4 backplate live wallpaper

Inspired by Zurginator's cool Nexus 4 backplate backgrounds, I've started working on a live wallpaper interpretation of LG's Crystal Reflection glass process.
Current release: 0.6-pre
NOTE: I'm not currently working on this and don't currently have any plans to come back to it. It was a fun diversion for a couple of weeks. Thanks everyone.
Features:
Reacts to motion of your handset or tablet in a realistic way
Optionally reacts to ambient lighting conditions
Somewhat configurable (color of dots and background, number and size of dots, show/hide the lines in the dots)
Free (as in beer)
Free (as in speech, BSD 2-clause license, pull requests welcomed!)
Known bugs:
I haven't actually seen the back of a real Nexus 4 yet, so I may need to tune the response function once I have. (And I do have one on the way.)
Needs a demo video. (I'll take a community contribution here.)
Other TODO:
Optimus G pattern (apparently some diamondy thing?)
Point source lighting mode
Consider OpenGL ES
Consider dropping support for all API < 18 if Filterscript DTRT?
Ch-ch-ch-changelog
Enjoy!

nicely done! i was gonna comment on the other post about live wallpaper...beat me to it haha!

Looks really nice. Also I did modify those default values a bit.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2

v0.5-pre is built, adding an option to disable the little lines across the dots, adding a real icon, and simplifying the label used in the Live Wallpapers list.
You may need to uninstall or delete prefs for the old version. Definitely try that if it's refusing to load.
I've noticed that if I crank up the number of dots across on my Nexus 7, I can still get significant delays in rendering, despite using precomputed bitmaps. I suspect that the Nexus 10 will experience poor performance due to the sheer number of bitmaps to render. As it turns out, there's no access to a hardware-accelerated canvas from a live wallpaper, so I may have to rewrite the core as [edited] OpenGL ES (graphics Renderscript is deprecated), which would delay feature work.

Oh, I do want to say thanks to everyone who has tried this out, it's been a fun little side project and I'm glad it's gotten a positive reaction.

I downloaded the apk to my Inspire 4G and my LG Optimus G and just see a black screen and no background when chosen as the wallpaper

After I went into the wallpaper settings and came back out the dots were there for me.

Seems to work for me even after clearing shared prefs. If you're setting it on a level surface or with the display straight up and down, with the default settings the display will appear black; more so if you are in a dark room (light sensor is enabled by default). I don't expect there to be a reason to make significant changes there to the defaults. All indications from reviews of N4s say that you don't normally even see the pattern; if anything I'm probably overstating the effect.

Thank you! It´s beautiful and i like it´s kind of sparkling.:good:

Can't wait to try it out once Google gets the N4 back in stock.

Dude thanks a million this **** looks sick on the N4

Sorry, no, I don't plan to do anything along those lines.
Incidentally, OpenGL, even with the help of a framework: pain in the butt.
UPDATE: Along those lines, rather than wait for me to figure out how to make that work, have v0.6-pre. It has some modest performance improvements.

Hi works really well to turn on/off screen,but when you have it enabled for WiFi also it gets a bit confusing.when you swipe to unlock screen great,hold hand for 2 seconds great WiFi comes on but when you want to just turn off WiFi it turns off screen no matter and you need to swipe screen back on and turn off WiFi manually as it always turns off screen before you turn off wifi,not a complaint just an ob but a really great app

New update information
Hey guys I actually fixed a lot of stuff I did a lot of changes but some things are still delaying me from being able to release the new update.
Actually new update may be possible to be seen by the end of this week.
As long as I am working on it alone it is really hard for me and I am giving it, all the free time I have I spend a lot of nights on it.
So if you guys would be that kind please consider some small donation. I want to buy S4 to see how the things are going on it. Or an HTC One so I can test the app on powerful device and improve it more and faster. Or just buy me a coffee or a donut. Many thanks, many thanks.
I would really appreciate it and I'll give you credits in the OP
Note: If anyone made a donation, PM me. Thanks.
