Auto Rotation

[Guest Stephen1915]

Hi everyone,

Enjoyed playing with my San Francisco - until the screen became unrepsonsive. I have learnt so much thanks to this forum.

So I bought 2 more identical SFs except one was for my wife and it she chose white.

I unlocked both, rooted and re-romd with Modaco R12 and clockwork 3.0.28.

Hers is perfect! Mine won't auto rotate - images from gallery, text input, browser - nothing. Hers - brilliant!!

I fortunately backed up the Orange image so I reverted to stock and guess what? Auto rotation works!

Re-installed Modaco R12 and....it doesn't work.

Any ideas would be gratefully received as I have big fingers which cannot type well in portrait!

Thanks in advance

Stephen

Have you tried it with another ROM e.g. Swedish Spring?

I did see this from Unatural Selection further down.

"So to get the Accelerometer working on Swedish Spring you need to install the softbank kernel. (Make a backup, beacause you're gonna flash a new mod)

1) You boot in recovery

2) wipe cache & data (factory reset)

3) when you choose "install from .zip file" FIRST you install Swedish Spring RLS5 mod, THEN you choose one more time a .zip file and this time you flash the Softbank Kernel

You can download the softbank kernel from here

But as far as I know this is the ONLY way you get your auto-rotation working, with Cyanogenmod for me there was NO way to make it work. I still hope someone could help to fix the problem with CM"

Any other suggestions gratefully received - still don't understand why it works on one and not the other!

That sounds like a sensors problem, not the ROM.

Uhmm... two suggestions:

1. Try replacing the binary AKMD2 - that is responsible for the sensors.
   
2. Re-calibrate the sensors - there was a thread under "ROMs & Customizations" about it buried among the pile....
   

If one or both of the above suggestions fail, then it could be that in all likeli-hood, the sensors are faulty and or broken.
