I just tried to run a Compass example in r2 and it hung on getting the sensor manager. I don't think the bug is fixed and isn't just a compass bug.
But if you have any suggestions I am open to trying them. @L!TH!UM - I also am a long time embedded developer. Yes, you have to get onto the real hardware eventually. I don't know how many times I had to write special code to prove to the hardware guys that their design had something wrong. But it is still very productive to work in an emulator for a lot of development. It is one thing to have the emulator be incomplete or something missing. But to hang trying to get the sensor manager is a major hindarence.
