Search the forum.
Someone has posted a method long time ago.
(probably 2-3 years)

Search "sensor emulation".
Just checked. It's posted at about 2013/12.

Linux .so is like a Windows .dll. It needs to be loaded by a program to work.
It won't work by itself.

Dear Mr. Chih-Wei Huang,

Did you ever look into this guys work? He says to simply input his "sensors_emu.c" into Source/Hardware/Libsensors and include in that "Android.mk" and the HAL Module will be createed in system/lib/hw (which it does) and that when an app your testing is requesting the Accelerometer value, the module will open a Server on the port 5000-5009 to accept the readings from a remote sensor and input those sensors into Android x86

But the server doesn't open? To get the HAL module to work doesn't something need to call it? 

Just cause the (.so) appears in in lib/hw, doesn't mean it'll be called right? :/ this fella seems to be missing some stuff despite him saying everything is included in his guide :/

What you have to do is to understand the basic
of Android HAL porting, including how to
load the specific module you want.

Indeed you have asked too many simple questions
that could be easily answered by googling.
You need to do some homework
if you do want to become a developer.
(I assume you do otherwise you don't need to do these)
