Sensor HAL for 2011 Xperia Phones is now open source

It seems Sony Ericsson continues the support for the open dev community as they are making the the sensor HAL for the 2011 Xperia phones available as open source. Earlier they made the WebGL for android 4.0 as open source and the new step is from the feedbacks they received. So what does the developers benefit from this? They are now able to access and configure the sensors of a 2011 Xperia phone deeper than it was possible earlier.

The Sensor HAL now releasing as opensource includes source code files, and ‘make’ files that describes how the sensors are configured. So, in your ROM, you can enable or disable multiple sets of sensors for each device and in some cases also second-source sensors, when you are compiling. The sensor HAL also makes it possible to configure the sensors, so that you can mount the “sensor chip” in different ways without having to change the code.

The developers can either adapt the sensor HAL to their ROM, or use it as it is. For more information on this, just read through the README file included in the pack.

Losowy cytat

The Xperia Play aka the PlayStation Phone has undoubtedly been the most leaked handset of the last year, indeed perhaps of any year. I was recently discussing the situation and an interesting question arose: do these leaks make you more or less interested in the handset?

Whilst we all love to see leaks and know what is coming up, does the sheer scope of the Xperia Play leak mean that when it is released there will actually be less interest in the handset? Looked at from a certain angle one could say that given all that has already leaked about it there isn’t much Sony Ericsson can do to make the announcement exciting. How long can interest be maintained in a handset that we already know so much about?

On the other hand there are those who say that these leaks have really whetted their appetite for the handset. There is also the point to consider that the frequent leaks have given the handset tremendous exposure in the press, perhaps far more than it might otherwise have received. Indeed given the build up it seems pretty certain that most eyes at MWC will be firmly trained on the Sony Ericsson booth to see the handset in the flesh.
