Gyroscope Explorer
* be equipped with a gyroscope for Gyroscope Explorer to work. I cannot stress this enough. Gyroscope Explorer does not give your device a gyroscope, it must be equipped with a gyroscope from the manufacturer.
Gyroscopes are relatively new on Android devices and are usually only equipped on device manufacturers "flagship" phones/tablets. So, unless you have recently purchased one of the more high-end devices available, the chances are that your device does *not
* have a gyroscope. If you open Gyroscope Explorer and you get a message saying that the gyroscope does not exist on your device, your device is either not equipped with a gyroscope, the device has been rooted or the manufacturer never implemented the gyroscope in the Android API.
If you do have a gyroscope, be aware that the quality of the drift compensations on the gyroscope sensor vary considerably among devices. In the case that your device has a gyroscope that doesn't work well, there are multiple option to fuse the gyroscope with the acceleration and magnetic sensors. These option, which uses a fusion of the acceleration, magnetic and gyroscope sensors via complementary filter or Kalman filter to determine the rotation of the device, is far more reliable that the gyroscope sensor alone.
You can now log the output from the gyroscope and filters to an external .CSV file.
Gyroscopes measure the rotation of a device with a pair of vibrating arms that take advantage of what is known as the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. By measuring changes in the direction of the vibrating arms caused by a rotation and the Coriolis effect, an estimation of the rotation can be produced. The gyroscope is one of three sensors that are always hardware based (the other two are the magnetic and the acceleration sensors) on Android devices. In conjunction with the acceleration sensor, the gyroscope can be used to create other sensors like gravity, linear acceleration or rotation sensors.
If your device is equipped with Android 4.4 or higher, you *might
* have the uncalibrated version of the gyroscope so you can see how drift affects the gyroscope sensor relative to the calibrated gyroscope.

Thank you for writing this app! I was getting a bit stuck and the code REALLY helped!
repeatedly asks permission to access all of your photos
Must provide manual for the app for better calibration
Why this app need acces to my media ????
Hello. I would like to contact the creators of this app. can you please provide an email-id?
Wants access to files, crashes
Looks useful but crashes on start when filter enabled, so can't turn it off again.
It is an internal testing version only. It has known bugs. Does something. Crashes at specific motion.
My redmi 3 need to calibrate the gyroscope sensor. I try several apps but no one make sense until i try this app.
My phone is micromax bolt a082 it has no gyroscope can any one help me
Displays completely false data, rotates at wrong directions. Galaxy S4 Cyanogenmod 13
It does its job... that's it. It also crashes whenever i hold my phone earpiece down and charging port up which i think is kind of funny.
I always had trouble with drifting VR apps. Thanks to this app those days are gone. Thank you!
It crashes when you turn the phone upside-down. Guess its electrons runs to its head.....
This app gets crashed in some motions
Does not function as expected
gyro calibrated. now my vr stedy not sloly moving to left.
This is what I want
Works as advertised.
Crashes when I hold my phone upside-down.
When device goes to downside to 90* . Application is stopped..
I had calibration issue on my cappy and finally this app fixed it!!!
It didn't work I Dont have gyroscope
didn't recognize my phone's gyroscope
If I shake the phone it crashes
I installed this hoping it would allow me to calibrate the Gyro on my Droid Maxx. It doesn't.
works great on Z Ultra. How about a save data option?
Wants access to your files. Programmed to not work until you give it access to yiur files. Thusnis a scam. Don't download it.
