Hi gls and Atsuo - thanks for your replies! gls - I'm not looking for raw entropy specifically, what I need is more cryptographically secure entropy in /dev/urandom. I'm wondering if having my application 'turn on' or read from the accelerometers or touch screen even events will make that go faster.
Atsuo - I had a look through hw_random and the Documentation, but it's not quite what I'm looking for, I don't just need an RNG, I need more entropy in /dev/u/random Does this make sense? Do accelerometers feed to urandom?
