-With the [W3C Device Motion and Orientation API](https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/CR-orientation-event-20160818/) now being supported on iOS, Android and Windows devices, this plugin is not needed any more.

 ## Description
 
-This plugin provides access to the device's accelerometer. The accelerometer is
-a motion sensor that detects the change (_delta_) in movement relative to the
-current device orientation, in three dimensions along the _x_, _y_, and _z_
-axis.
-
-Access is via a global `navigator.accelerometer` object.
-
-Although the object is attached to the global scoped `navigator`, it is not available until after the `deviceready` event.
-
-    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
-    function onDeviceReady() {
-        console.log(navigator.accelerometer);
-    }
-
-Report issues with this plugin on the [Apache Cordova issue tracker](https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20CB%20AND%20status%20in%20%28Open%2C%20%22In%20Progress%22%2C%20Reopened%29%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20component%20%3D%20%22Plugin%20Device%20Motion%22%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC%2C%20summary%20ASC%2C%20updatedDate%20DESC)

-## Installation
-
-    cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device-motion
-
-## Supported Platforms
-
-- Amazon Fire OS
-- Android
-- BlackBerry 10
-- Browser
-- Firefox OS
-- iOS
-- Tizen
-- Windows Phone 8
-- Windows
-
-## Methods
-
-- navigator.accelerometer.getCurrentAcceleration
-- navigator.accelerometer.watchAcceleration
-- navigator.accelerometer.clearWatch
-
-## Objects
-
-- Acceleration
-
-## navigator.accelerometer.getCurrentAcceleration
-
-Get the current acceleration along the _x_, _y_, and _z_ axes.
-
-These acceleration values are returned to the `accelerometerSuccess`
-callback function.
-
-    navigator.accelerometer.getCurrentAcceleration(accelerometerSuccess, accelerometerError);
-
-
-### Example
-
-    function onSuccess(acceleration) {
-        alert('Acceleration X: ' + acceleration.x + '\n' +
-              'Acceleration Y: ' + acceleration.y + '\n' +
-              'Acceleration Z: ' + acceleration.z + '\n' +
-              'Timestamp: '      + acceleration.timestamp + '\n');
-    }
-
-    function onError() {
-        alert('onError!');
-    }
-
-    navigator.accelerometer.getCurrentAcceleration(onSuccess, onError);
-
-### Browser Quirks
-
-Values for X, Y, Z motion are all randomly generated in order to simulate the accelerometer.
-
-### Android Quirks
-
-The accelerometer is called with the `SENSOR_DELAY_UI` flag, which limits the maximum readout frequency to something between 20 and 60 Hz, depending on the device. Values for __period__ corresponding to higher frequencies will result in duplicate samples. More details can be found in the [Android API Guide](http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/sensors/sensors_overview.html#sensors-monitor).
-
+### Deprecation Notice
 
-### iOS Quirks
-
-- iOS doesn't recognize the concept of getting the current acceleration at any given point.
-
-- You must watch the acceleration and capture the data at given time intervals.
-
-- Thus, the `getCurrentAcceleration` function yields the last value reported from a `watchAccelerometer` call.
-
-## navigator.accelerometer.watchAcceleration
-
-Retrieves the device's current `Acceleration` at a regular interval, executing
-the `accelerometerSuccess` callback function each time. Specify the interval in
-milliseconds via the `acceleratorOptions` object's `frequency` parameter.
-
-The returned watch ID references the accelerometer's watch interval,
-and can be used with `navigator.accelerometer.clearWatch` to stop watching the
-accelerometer.
-
-    var watchID = navigator.accelerometer.watchAcceleration(accelerometerSuccess,
-                                                           accelerometerError,
-                                                           accelerometerOptions);
-
-- __accelerometerOptions__: An object with the following optional keys:
-  - __frequency__: requested frequency of calls to accelerometerSuccess with acceleration data in Milliseconds. _(Number)_ (Default: 10000)
-
-
-###  Example
-
-    function onSuccess(acceleration) {
-        alert('Acceleration X: ' + acceleration.x + '\n' +
-              'Acceleration Y: ' + acceleration.y + '\n' +
-              'Acceleration Z: ' + acceleration.z + '\n' +
-              'Timestamp: '      + acceleration.timestamp + '\n');
-    }
-
-    function onError() {
-        alert('onError!');
-    }
-
-    var options = { frequency: 3000 };  // Update every 3 seconds
-
-    var watchID = navigator.accelerometer.watchAcceleration(onSuccess, onError, options);
-
-### iOS Quirks
-
-The API calls the success callback function at the interval requested,
-but restricts the range of requests to the device between 40ms and
-1000ms. For example, if you request an interval of 3 seconds,
-(3000ms), the API requests data from the device every 1 second, but
-only executes the success callback every 3 seconds.
-
-## navigator.accelerometer.clearWatch
-
-Stop watching the `Acceleration` referenced by the `watchID` parameter.
-
-    navigator.accelerometer.clearWatch(watchID);
-
-- __watchID__: The ID returned by `navigator.accelerometer.watchAcceleration`.
-
-###  Example
-
-    var watchID = navigator.accelerometer.watchAcceleration(onSuccess, onError, options);
-
-    // ... later on ...
-
-    navigator.accelerometer.clearWatch(watchID);
-
-## Acceleration
-
-Contains `Accelerometer` data captured at a specific point in time.
-Acceleration values include the effect of gravity (9.81 m/s^2), so that when a
-device lies flat and facing up, _x_, _y_, and _z_ values returned should be
-`0`, `0`, and `9.81`.
