VirtualSensor
VirtualSensor is a module built on Xposed that creates several sensors on devices which do not have them. It does sensor fusion using the values from the accelerometer and the compass which are the two main requirements for this module.
There are currently 5 sensors emulated :
- TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR
- TYPE_GYROSCOPE
- TYPE_GEOMAGNETIC_ROTATION_VECTOR
- TYPE_GRAVITY
- TYPE_LINEAR_ACCELERATION
Being the most useful sensor for many applications, the gyroscope is the main sensor this project is about.
How to use
The Xposed Framework is a required dependency. Android versions from JellyBean (SDK16) up to Marshmallow (SDK23) are supported. I myself have not tested the module on versions older than Marshmallow. Some OEMs might have made heavy enough modifications to the AOSP code to break this module, please keep that in mind.
Bug report
Reporting bugs is very important in order for this module to work on more devices. As I do not have the ability to test it on a lot of devices, I can only rely on the community to test it and report bugs. When submitting a bug report, please make sure to include as much information as possible. A logcat dump is often mandatory.
