OMG Why didn't I see this post 5 mins ago? I am just in the process or reflashing sbf because I edited the touchscreen config file and forgot to edit the permissions afterwards, resulting in NO touch screen lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Haha I did the exact same thing. I am flashing an sbf as we speak and starting over lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] theraizen:
Ahahahaha

Same here GIB, i just did the sdb flash ahahahah
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
LOL Thank god for Titanium Backup! :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
guys why didnt you just enable usb debugging before rebooting, that way you can, if you dont have touch support, just connect phone do adb shell, rw remount system go to the config file vi it and reboot :)

all i did was pull the battery plug the charger in after replacing the battery and it automaticly goes to CWM.

Hi every one, i just updated the MOD and it works perfectly till 4 touch and when i did 5th touch application go crazy and crash quite often so i edited the files in zip changed it to NUMTOUCH=4, now every thing is perfect. touch app dont crash and i thought if touch app can handle it others should so my recommendation to every one limit it to 4 besides who need more then 4 touch points after all its 4" inch screen not 24" :D

Attached is modified ZIP file with 4 touch points only.

How do I download and get into CWM
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yokozuna82:
I figured it out thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] undisputedfb:
i had to do that too, i would su through adb, and guess what would pop up on the screen, superuser request, which i could not click allow to cuz the damn screen wasnt working. i sbf'd and all is fine- data loss, but nothing important. i got the register 10 also
[Atrix 4G Android Development] minooch:
Cheers - Altough i did it via adb without the following line & it worked

mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/stl5 /system

PS: although i did make backups first & place the zip on my sdcard before starting

Not working with new unlocked tenfars cwm

Says needs to be packaged differently
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Yea, the old way is the outdated way. BTW guys, I tried to do it manually on 2.3.4, first changing it to 10, then it only showed one! But even worse after changing it back to 2 and rebooting, the touch screen was unresponsive and I couldn't even unlock my phone, so I had to re install Gingerbread with fastboot. It was a huge mess, so don't try it!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SS2006:
Ya says amend scripting outdated

Can someone post a update zip I can use with cwm!

Thx
[Atrix 4G Android Development] McFinigan90:
There's a character (appears to be a space) after the "2" in "NUMTOUCH=2". If you delete that character, everything will go to hell. Make sure you ONLY replace the number. Currently enjoying 10 multi-touch points on 2.3.4
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stratax:
yeah, that would be nice
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krad54:
For all of you who are using the new cwm recovery, I suggest just doing this manually, by going to the touchpad.cfg files and editing them. The full instructions are in the first post.

guys i tried it manually but left out the space after the digit. i have no touch on my atrix. i have the new unlocked cwm. the .zip provided is amend and therefore wont flash. can anyone help me get touch back?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stratax:
Have you fixed it yet? You can try to push it through adb.

Edit: I just unziped it and replaced all the files with root explorer. If anyone has the new CWM and doesnt feel like flashing back then they should try this.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jug6ernaut:
There has to be a space? Well that explains alot lol.(i had given up on doing it manually lol)

HELP !!! - Can someone please help me. i tried manually editing the values and have lost touch now. i dont have the cwm recovery but i do have adb enabled. is there any way to reset the phone to stock via ADB coz i cant get the recovery menu coz the touchscreen doesnt work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
do you have dock? connect keyboard and mouse and go edit it again, or maybe BT keyboard?

you could adb, and copy the files from the zip to /system/etc/touchpad/
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raymasky:
Thanks. can you please give me exact commands i will have to use ? Right from mounting the system partition to copying and replacing the files to setting permissions. Im an absolute noob at this so any help will be appreciated.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raymasky:
can someone please give me the adb commands necessary to

1. mount system\etc\touchpad in the write mode via adb

2. create the folders \20 , \21 , \22

3. push the touchpad.cfg files

4. set appropriate permissions
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mossys:
adb push touchpad.cfg /sdcard/touchpad.cfg

adb shell

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
do this, download zip file, and extract cfg file from 21 and 22.

1st do file cfg 21 file in adb folder and follow the command, again do the same for cfg 22, move it to adb folder

adb push touchpad.cfg /mnt/sdcard/

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /mnt/sdcard/touchpad.cfg /system/etc/touchpad/21

do the same for cfg 22 and change the cp /mnt/sdcard/touchpad.cfg /system/etc/touchpad/22

[Atrix 4G Android Development] raymasky:
ok. can i just flash cwm via fastboot and then boot into recovery and do a factory reset ? are there any steps involved that require me to touch the screen in that process ? Also , how do i delete the file install_recovery.sh located in your /system/etc/ using ADB ? Please give me the commands.

also..in your previous code.. after typing in "su" and pressing enter ..when i begin to type the mount command it gives me an error. "mount - permission denied" :(

look for the instructions on how to install recovery if you have an unlocked atrix (bootloader unlocked)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raymasky:
Saw the thread...just have one doubt. Do you have to boot into fastboot protocol support mode to flash the recovery ..or can it be done while the phone is switched ON and fully functional ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raymasky:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] markpaiz:
I went thru the same thing!!

Go to post 103, by Ronaldo_9, he has an updated zip that works in the new Gingerbread-CWM.

Its tagged:"10_point_touch_2.3.4.zip - [Click for QR Code] (252.2 KB, 91 views)

"

The post says something like "I'll check and update it. thanks

Updated version, tested working"

This update worked for me yesterday man, let us know if it fixes your issue!! (I'm confident it will)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] markpaiz:
You must be unlocked to install CWM.

You must boot into fastboot in order to flash the CWM.

If you dont know how or where to get CWM, the post is in the Development forum. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138541)

Steps:

Put the ZIP on your device or an sd card in the root of either.

Install CWM via the instructions in the link above.

when done installing in fastboot, type"fastboot reboot"

when the screen goes black, hold down, and when its back and says "fastboot" on your phone, volume down to "Android Recovery" then volume up to select, which will boot you into CWM.

Go to "install zip from.." and find the zip you put on your phone.

Install it.

reboot in the CWM menu.

Win.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raymasky:
But im running stock 2.2 froyo with an unlocked bootloader. Is it okay to flash this since is for gingerbread cwm ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] markpaiz:
Well on the CWM page it doesnt say anything about CWM being for one or the other ( GB or Froyo) the zip is just written in a different language per-se. It still alters the same files. The zip will still only alter the target files as I know we followed the same directions, and found them in the same place(im on GB and youre on froyo)..the zip is very specific, its only going to alter what its instructed to alter..

Can someone post the original touchpad folder that comes with the atrix?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] OmegaMagus:
To change the files back to their original state, use ADB shell or a terminal emulator on your phone to put the commands from this script (below) except change the

sed 's/\(NUMTOUCH\)[ ]*=[ ]*[0-9]*/\1=10/' touchpad.cfg >temp

to

sed 's/\(NUMTOUCH\)[ ]*=[ ]*[0-9]*/\1=2/' touchpad.cfg >temp

Can you help in my phone when I type busybox mount -o rw,remount /system

it tells me permission denied (are you root?) but the problem is I am rooted help?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] OmegaMagus:
More detailed instructions for you:

Type:

su

Grant super user access when phone asks.

Type:

mount | grep system

which should return something like this:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system ext3 ro,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

Take the first part of what was returned and replace the Xs in this command:

mount -o rw/remount XXXXXXXXXX /system

For example, on my phone it looks like this:

mount -o rw/remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

Perform the rest of the script:

cd /system/etc/touchpad/21/
sed 's/\(NUMTOUCH\)[ ]*=[ ]*[0-9]*/\1=2/' touchpad.cfg >temp
mv temp touchpad.cfg
chmod 644 touchpad.cfg

cd /system/etc/touchpad/22/
sed 's/\(NUMTOUCH\)[ ]*=[ ]*[0-9]*/\1=2/' touchpad.cfg >temp
mv temp touchpad.cfg
chmod 644 touchpad.cfg

Reboot phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tuantuti:
at this step, my cmd read like this:

mount: permission denied (are you root?)

im pretty sure my phone is rooted since i use homebase ROM and i have superuser. do u know what went wrong here?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] OmegaMagus:
Step one should be "Type 'su' and grant super user access"

[Atrix 4G Android Development] redking117:
Do you have to have your bootloader unlocked for this to work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
No, just root and manually replace files from zip. First make a backup!!!!!!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] redking117:
I am rooted, but my bootloader is no unlocked so I cannot boot into recovery. How do I replace the files manually? Windows explorer doesn't see them, nor does stock android browser
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
For example install ES File Explorer, in settings enable root, mount r/w, allow with super user, then follow path for files in zip and replace in rom.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] redking117:
Thanks I'll try that,been trying to figure out how the hell to unlock my bootloader for like 2 hours. lol

Edit: all this just to be able to play piano and guitar chords on a phone.. and fruit ninja of course :D

That worked, just copy pasted with ES File explorer once i put it in root mode
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Good reason, LOL.

Be very careful with unlock! You know that you can brick your phone!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] redking117:
Just applied the rain drop fix and now I only have 5 touches :(

Guess you can't have everything... Alot of games were unplayable with the raindrop thing.. and it didn't help at all when water actually did get on my screen.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1469904

i'm wondering if this fix enables 5 point touch by default - in which case we should probably tell people to do it in the first place. lol

I had a max of 8 touches when I did this 10 point hack in the first place. was stable with 7.. became unstable at 8

UPDATE:

HOLY SH**!!! I went in using ES file explorer and edited the NUMTOUCH=5 in the raindrop fix to NUMTOUCH=8 and booted and had NO TOUCH.

I was able to partially follow root instructions to the point where you mount your system folder and then use the copy paste commands to restore my backup. WHEW.

GOING TO TRY AGAIN

Yeah I have some experience with flashing roms on my old Windows phones.

And flashing the PSP back in 2005. LOL
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
If you have some experiences with flashing roms then edit manually file and change in number of touch you desire ;)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] redking117:
I did :)

Was just saying the first time failed and I had no touch screen...

I'm not as familiar with linux as I should be so it was hard to figure out how to go in and replace my messed up file with my backup...

I got it working with both the raindrop fix and the 10 touch hack. Lovely.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JeWy85:

Why do you need to have more than 8 points? I don't actually know why people need more than 2 but 8 is just ridiculous.
