[FIX] N72 landscape mode

[Guest sulligogs]

Hi,

Nightly 72 finally fixes the accelerometer lag which greatly affects some games. However, a merge was also done that locks the phone into landscape mode.

So, I did the following which for the past fifteen minutes seems to have fixed the issue:-

I recovered my phone back into N57 and copied libui.so from /system/lib/ to the root of the sdcard.

Next, I downloaded and installed N72.

Then, with USB Debugging enabled on my phone, I connected it via usb to my XP machine and at a command prompt I ran the following:-

adb remount

adb shell

cd /system/lib

mv libui.so libui.so.bak

cp /sdcard/libui.so .

reboot

After the reboot the new sensor libs, such as accelerometer, was still working and the landscape lock problem had gone :unsure:

This post, quoted from the CM7 thread offers the fix within a single ROM.zip:

i got bored waiting for the slide-keyboard fix so i've also compiled my own version.

i checked out the revert on the slide-keyboard bug and recompiled, i guess you could call it nightly 71.5

new libaudio.so fixes speaker hiss and slightly helps battery life; new sensor libs (dunno how to test this as i don't play games); screen is fine - not stuck in landscape mode; no usb/gps reboot issues.

use at your own risk, seems to work ok on my oled (i did have a network error with gmail/market once, but might have been coincidence): download

Thanks a lot Fonix. :unsure:

I asume this N72 fixed is different than the one submited by sej7278 ?

actually i just pasted the older libui.so into the N72 zip but it didn't work :/

EDIT: the zip file helped :)

He rebuilt from source, while I just took N72 and replaced libui.so with the one from N70.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but how do you update to a newer nightly without losing everything on your phone? I have this accelerometer problem. I tried searching but couldn't find anything. Thanks!

Just wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash.
