I've tried to install this fix on a rooted JH2 rom with busybox 1.7.1. All seemed to go well. But I have an empty sd-ext folder and my Quadrant score went down :mad:.

Should this work with JH2/3? I need to be in usb debugging mode to enter all the commands, correct?

Thanks!

Edit - Should also mention that both userinit.sh and playlogos1 are listed in system/bin with mod dates of today with root as both user and group owner. Permissions are -rwxr-xr-x (which if I remember correctly is 755). The ext sdcard is 16GB with a 1.6GB ext3 partition.
[Captivate Android Development] norcal einstein:
I thought this says explicitly to use on "STOCK firmware" (quoting the title of this thread)
[Captivate Android Development] rdy2go:
Worked for me on Samsung Galaxy S with official JM1 firmware. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] vikdmon:
Would this hack work with ext4 partition instead of ext3?
[Captivate Android Development] vikdmon:
revert

So If I want to remove this lagfix and apply the vodoo lagfix beta4, should I just follow the revert steps outlined in the OP. Or do I have to flash it back to stock first?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Revert it first
[Captivate Android Development] XorZone:
I suggest you to do backups with TitaniumBackup first.

Then revert (if anything goes bad - just reflash firmware and restore backup)
[Captivate Android Development] vikdmon:
So would this work on JI6 Froyo?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitemarc:
I have upgraded my HTC Desire to Android 2.2. Unfortunately I have realized that after that update, an embedded compass started acting up. I mean it's not showing the North anymore. It seems to me that it's not an issue with some particular application as I have tried with several ones available on the Market and it needs to be some bug with new OS. Anyway here is what I have figured out and what I have already done in order to get this sorted out. At this point of time, it even looks like I have just some kinda workaround:

Once I pick out 'Calibrate' menu item in Compass v1.1 (developed by Snaptic, Inc.) and then according to the instruction, start off waving my phone in a figure 8 pattern to reset the magnetometer on my device, it's not gonna fix the issue but when I start rolling my phone in a hand (side to side then top to bottom) and then it seems to me that the issue is sorted out as finally compass points out the North, but after I close the application and open it again (or open any other compass based app) the magnetometer is broken again :confused: So all what I can do is to reset the magnetometer as per above-mentioned instruction again. It just looks like the device is not able to save some compass calibration setting anymore.

Anyway I was just wondering if some of you already faced this same issue and know how to fix it permanently. I would appreciate it, if you could share any thoughts with me. Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitemarc:
Hey folks, I don't believe that nobody experiences that issue too. Maybe you just haven't noticed that yet? Anyway could you please just check if your compass works as intended after the upgrade to Android 2.2? Personally, I really believe it's a bug with Froyo.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KRiZ-R:
I think mine is also acting weird.

Wenn starting Google Maps and using streetview in compass mode it only looks up and down and I cannot look from left to right.

When i roll the phone a few times in my hand it starts working.

But after closing Google Maps and starting it again I have to do the rolling again :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JLillia:
I was wondering that compass problem too. With ver.2.1 everything worked like a dream as I use compass mostly geocaching. After updating in every app I've tried the compass stucks pointing to approx. to the lower left corner of the screen. Sometimes calibration helps but it stuck again after a while even the app is running all the time.

"Compass" app kinda could wake up after waiting a while but usually it doesn't. In any other software won't work at all as I've tried, 5secs after calibration but nothing more.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitemarc:
@JLillia: Also in my case the compass worked as intended on android 2.1.

Anyway thanks for your answers guys! I really appreciate it! So it looks like at least 3 folks here are experiencing some issues with digital compass after the upgrade to the Froyo on HTC Desire :(

Wonder if there is anyone here who could disagree with us and say that the upgrade didn't cause any compass degradation on his/her device at all...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nakebod:
I can't say if it worked properly with 2.1, didn't use the compass a lot before.

With 2.1 I needed to calibrate it a few times, but probably not as much as I need to do now. I'm using the "compass" app and it directly tells me it detected an abnormal magnetic field. After calibrating it again, it points north. Haven't checked the correct north with a real compass, so it may have a slight difference.

I put my phone down at the table at 0 degrees N. I turn off my screen, and turn it back on. It is now pointing 90 degrees E. But the interesting thing is.. the east is actually located west, compared with the previous north :?

When I rotate my phone it displays only E or SE, always between 90 degrees E and 130 degrees SE. I can't even find north.

I can rotate my phone 180 degrees (Pointing south), it displays 130 degrees. When I calibrate the phone and I rotate my phone 180 degrees (Still south) it displays 160 degrees S. Which is kinda strange. And when I try to find the 180 degrees point, and rotate my phone again, it displays 35 degrees NE.

After another calibration the values seems to be okay...

My conclusion? Don't trust the compass at all unless you have a real compass to compare.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
That person with the exact opposite experience is me :)

I complained on 2.1 here with many others about the compass going haywire every time you took it off-screen and its lack of stability and consistency. HTC 2.2 totally fixed this issue for me. I've calibrated it once about a week back and it's still accurate every time I'm opening it and in Google Earth.

Beware, the compass draws a lot of power in use so it'll drain the battery very fast. About as fast as playing a 8Mbps 720p VC-1 vid.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JLillia:
My problem is kinda dame that with Nakebod.

As I said compass stucks pointing to the lower left corner, it infact tells I'm holding the phone towards 120-130 decrees east, where ever I turn the phone to. Calibration helps for a while as after that the compass points approxamtely to north which is enough direction to me, but after a while or at least after swithing apps or taking compass background and back on, it stucks again to the 130 decrees.

Of course I am not using this kind of device as "for real" but I'd like to have it at least somewhat accurate. As geocacher I use compass as a tool with my hobby and I was quite happy with Desire because of the quite accurate GPS but after the update the compass is practically useless.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitemarc:
Just a quick update, I made a quick phone call to HTC support this morning and raised that issue. The support analyst recommended the factory data reset to see if it helps. I guess it's just a standard answer so at this point of time I'm not gonna proceed with that and erase all data on my phone. (Btw, I wonder if it's possible to backup all current data from my unrooted, unbranded Desire?)

Furthermore he promised to get back to me in next few days with some official resolution of that issue so I will keep you updated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romanus:
Try calibrating your magnetometer by waving your phone in 8-shaped moves.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JLillia:
I emailed HTC customer care also about the issue and the answer was to factory reset the phone. Of course that was the first thing I had already done at the minute I noticed the problem in first place so I wasn't quite fond of the idea. In fact I have reseted phone three times after the update and allways the result was the same; compass stucks.

Well, I thought that maybe I have some weird app that messes up the compass so I tried one more time...

At first after the reset I downloaded only EStrong file manager, compass and c:eo. Compass worked most of the time! I kept resuming backups and compass did stuck occasionally but not very often (+ abnormal magnetic field). I am not sure what I did leave out of the phone but now the comapss works quite fine. It is a lot more sensitive for magnetic fields than in 2.1 but usually calibration works to it.

So, the conclusion is, that even for some reason first times the reset didn't work, it did help after all. Just backup your data and give it a try. Doesn't cost more than some time. The compass DOES stuck still but is most of the time usable.

At least I left out MoreLocale2, Metal detector and some games. And I DIDN'T calibrate G-sensors after reset.

So, there is still some issues with update and compass but it COULD also be somewhat application related...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romanus:
G-Sensor calibration might be the answer! Following the first factory reset yesterday which cleared the compass problem initially I reinstalled all apps and calibrated G-sensor to find the problem came back. Then I factory-reset once more last night and reinstalled all apps but didn't do the re-calibration, left the phone on for the night - no problem in the morning. Feel tempted to re-calibrate to proof the point now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JLillia:
Please inform here how did it do if you re-calibrate. I have an ongoing geocaching challenge, so I won't try that until I'm sure that I don't need the compass for couple of days. After that I'm going to test if calibration is the problem as soon as possible.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudkcoce:
I have the same problem. Have tried everything but hard reset. Still, compass worked a lot better on 2.1 :-(

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
Try 3d compass, and use its calibration option. Always works for me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitemarc:
Wonder how does HTC support team's SLA look like in terms of resolving client's tickets as my one hasn't been resolved yet... Anyway it seems to me that HTC is not going to confirm that OTA update to Froyo could caused that compass issue.

That's why I decided on factory data reset and it looks like that helped with getting this issue sorted out. After the hard reset, my first step was an initial compass calibration and that's really all what I did. The digital compass is not maybe so precise and accurate as it used to be on Android 2.1 but finally roughly (I would say with 15° margin) points out the north so there is a progress :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtbsoft.:
Just to add my 2c, I can confirm that the compass has become useless since I upgraded to 2.2 on my device. Doing the figure 8 in Compass app has short lived benefits.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysteryfr:
Neither does my compass react in any application (tried Compass, Places directory, Google Navigation) after update to Froyo.

Calibrating with the 8 movement or G-sensor calibration does not help at all.

However, it always starts working normally when I tilt the phone to the side (so that I look on the slim side of the phone) and then start a short forward and backward rotation with the rotational axis going thru the display.

I need to repeat this every time I unlock the phone and the compass keeps on working until i lock the phone again or until I switch the application.

Weired.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroek:
I have the same problem, and it is a bit annoying. The compass works correctly if I wave the phone like in the video posted, but I have to do this every time I start an app that uses the magnetometer. My phone was not like this on 2.1.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysteryfr:
I could not alocate all the files that should be deleted. The rild_nitz_* files are not on my system. Do you know what these files are meant for? The other two files contain just some offset values, probably calibration data.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dewag:
Hi mysteryfr,

I do not have any idea what these files are for. I just did not want to factory reset again and took the risk to believe the "From CyanogenMod thread" which said these files should be deleted (but I had made backups of each of them).

It appears that when I ask for the properties in ES File Explorer on the phone, that the backupped rild_nitz_* files are 0 bytes. Also when I copied to my portable, Windows7-64 confirms that.

Note that after Reboot+Calibration, these deleted files are put back in place again by the phone ! So, strange that you do not see these files. Are you trying with a HTC Desire with Froyo, or maybe a different configuration ?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreipaval:
Thaks Dewag, your method worked great. I was just thinking about doing a factory reset, but now I don't have to.

You're a life saver.

The files rild_nitz_* did not exist on my phone, but it didn't matter.

Also, when I executed the "rm rild* rm AK8*" commands, they said no files to remove.

But after I executed "cd /data/misc", the remove commands worked and the files AK89* wore removed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dewag:
do not know how to delete a post.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dewag:
Thanks for your feedback, andreipaval,

I am glad it also worked for you and added the "cd /data/misc" command in the procedure of post 21.

In the mean time I found a posting with subject "Orientation offset calibration & G-SENSOR FIX", discussing the values which are written in the file AK8973Prms.txt.

Unfortunately I still am not allowed to post links as a first time poster, so again I will add a textfile to this post.

==>

1. Post 21 describes how to recalibrate without factory reset but as a

temporary root (while the phone is NOT permanently rooted).

2. the link in the attached textfile points to a forum discussing the values

in the file AK8973Prms.txt and how to calibrate x,y and z-axis more accurate.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilpumpkin:
Reset calibration from console

Thank you, Dewag!

I tested the procedure on my HTC Desire with Leedroid 2.2e (Froyo) leaving out the first six steps, works fine.

On a rooted phone you can just follow the instructions concerning the compass calibration files from a terminal emulator on your device:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remisa:
It took 1/2 hour to found this forum... next 1/2 hour to root wildfire froyo and understand how to work with adb... and THANK YOU so much, compass works perfect:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazbys:
File deletion probably not required (some root cause)

I just completed this process on my Desire, and it worked.

I noted that the cause in my case is actually the G Sensor calibration utility. It creates a compass calibration owned by system user that cannot be written by the compass app. owner, resulting in calibration silently failing when compass is closed.

Before g-calibration (Normal working state)

# ls -l /data/misc/AK8973Prms.txt

-rw-rw---- compass compass 443 2011-03-28 09:05 AK8973Prms.txt

After - no more calibration capability (file truncated as well)

# ls -l /data/misc/AK8973Prms.txt

-rw-rw-rw- system system 45 2011-03-28 11:58 AK8973Prms.txt

Doing the root thing as above, then the following fixes it:

chown compass.compass /data/misc/AK8973Prms.txt

Just avoid calibrating g-sensor...

Excuse the noob sounding question, but do you mean a continual failure? Like, the camera wont launch or the camera is trying to launch and is giving you the "Camera Failed" notification. I only ask because I've actually seen two stock Vibrant's in my T-Mobile store come straight from the box and have camera failure so I'm trying to figure out your exact situation.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
If battery is under 15% left camera will not work, aside from this I didn't hear of camera failures on Galaxy S line.
[Vibrant General] fragimar:
Mine failed once. The bar code scanner was messing up and locking up the camera. Maybe an app is going nutty with your camera.
[Vibrant General] rjwisniewski:
This is the only failure I've had on my specific Vibrant (which is rooted). I installed Google Goggles to download the XDA app and received a "Camera Failure" notice as it scanned the XDA app bar code, but other than that it's been easy sailing. However, as I previously stated, in my T-Mobile store we had two Vibrants that came straight from the sealed boxes with almost full charges that gave us camera errors, but they functioned properly after master resets.

I used for a quit long time a cooked ROM (pcarvalho eXtreme ROM), but for an unknown reason after a restart of the device the device is not starting again and hangs at Starting Windows screen (Tap the sceen to set up your Windows phone), without be able to tap the screen.

I tried to perform a hard reset, but it is not reacting at all and i cannot perform a hard reset.

Can somebody help me?? :(

Thanks a lot in advance for your support!!!

To Hard reset and delete everything from your phone and then let the rom reload everything back to factory settings, do the following.

1. Remove SD card

2. Hold down the 'Windows Icon' Button and the 'OK' button at the same time and keep them held in.

3. While still holding in the above 2 buttons, use the stylus and press the reset button in and then release it but you must still keep the 'Windows' button and the 'OK' button still in until you are prompted with a menu.

4. Once the menu appears: press 'Send' button to reset and reload rom or any other button to cancel.

I had the same problem.

I have never flashed custom ROM before ,I usually customize the oficial 1.66xxxx which came with my phone,but Im thinking to flash one soon,just couple of questions:

1-My OS version is 21xxx thats according to your guide must be WM 6.5,now can I install any version of custom ROM including one with 23xxx which is WM 6.5.3 or just the the same version currenty on my phone:.

2-Should I install the HSPl and the Radio first.it would be nice if you could make another tutorial on those two subject as well.Very confusing since there are so many versions of both.
