Excellent, very valid usecase, but not for org.freesmartphone.Device.Orientation. As I've said multiple times, for real- time data, you better read the accelerometers by directly querying the input event nodes. > I am not yet up to speed with the fso stack.

In fact, we had an experimental plugin for that but that consumed so much CPU time that it made the whole system crawl and was never used). :M: _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
