Note the comments on those idc files.

Ours reads like this:

# Driver reports tool size as a linear width measurement summed over

# all contact points.

So we need something for ICS that uses a similar method.

For clarification: we *do* have a working touchscreen, which we can set to pointer mode, but with a properly set up IDC file it works but won't release presses.
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Thread Cleaned!!

Stay on topic please

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] tarends:
Thanks, for this info did not had to much time in the past few days to try some things out with the kernel and my VM was all stuffed with data after syncing the source code from cyanogen mod, still need to get myself the ICS source but had to expand my drive to get the sync completed.

Will update you guys as soon as i have all the code and i can compare bits of code that work on the input. what hopefully gives us more info on how to get touch screen working properly.

Anyhow still busy with school and all so dont know when ill update you guys.

Keep up the good work and hopefully we can get some decent touch screen soon.. then we can work on all the other stuff.
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
galaxy nexus doesn't have MENU button..so all settings will be in screen like iOS

and i have idea

the DEVs should make a MOD to ICS to show all settings in screen but without screenbuttons (galaxy nexus buttons) and MENU button in sensation should go to Multi-Tasking :p
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Agreed. Like, the menu button thing should be made the multi-tasking button. And it suits the icon :p
[HTC Sensation] truthkillszz:
It does have a menu button i believe it pops up on top right and only shows when there is a menu to be presented just like in honeycomb
[HTC Sensation] ajonesma:
theres only 3 buttons; back, home, and multitasking. I wish there was still a search button because I use my search button a lot.
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
no, it's like Honeycomb - menu appears when it's needed
[HTC Sensation] Zehlek:
I can't wait. I can't believe the SGS2 will get it before the NS
[HTC Sensation] tilal6991:
Just to say guys I think I have a way to fix touchscreen fully.

But first: I don't have a sensation or anything even close to it. I'm just an intresed dev who has been working on an ICS port for the ZTE Skate. I was trawling through forums looking for a thread/device which had the same touch screen problems as the Skate (pointer mode working, touchscreen working but not releasing touch).

I figured out the fix on the Skate and seeeing as it is the exact same problem this MAY or MAY not work on the Sensation.

In the touchscreen driver of the kernel you are using disable all uses of the code:

input_mt_sync(ts->input_dev);

This should allow touch to release. Although multitouch may be broken.

Hope this helps you guys! Good luck!
[HTC Sensation] k4r1m:
this is what the galaxy s2 guys had to change in the driver to get it working https://github.com/syndtr/samsung-kernel-aries/commit/4daa024c0c814fd7d87fd3256f332cc61d2c8742
[HTC Sensation] jirii:
Thanks everybody for help, hope this will our devs show way .-)
[HTC Sensation] bochocinco23:
Wow... Thank you i will try this in a couple of hours when I get home. Will update results
[HTC Sensation] nba1341:
Haha valve time. I don't think they've ever released something on time :o
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
You are awesome! I can't wait to get out if work and try this, but not until 10 eastern time :(
[HTC Sensation] razorbladex401:
Wondering what was done to get this rom to boot? Been trying to see if I could possibly do my own port.

My mistake. I had seen links to other devices with working TS but not that one specific to HTC sorry
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
Yes, but has anyone tried it on the Sensation yet?
[HTC Sensation] bochocinco23:
Anyone tried disabling this in the kernel as suggested. Didn't have time to get to it tonight but will try tomorrow

input_mt_sync(ts->input_dev);
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
I'm going to try it in a few minutes, getting something to eat first.
[HTC Sensation] bochocinco23:
Which kernel are you using?
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
I am modifying the one from CM7 selfkang, and praying it works out. Going at a snail's pace, tirrrred.
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
Yeah mine won't compile, getting errors like "This processor does not support isb"... Never had a problem on my old laptop. If nobody gets it by tomorrow I'll fire it up and give it a shot on there.
[HTC Sensation] tarends:
Any luck so far with compiling it? I planned to implement the same changes in that kernel source to see if it would sort out the problems we have with the touchscreen.
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Are the builds in OP built from source?
[HTC Sensation] M3nti0n:
The touchscreen just works perfectly on bricked 1.5 beta for aosp.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44206202/pu...aosp-v1.5beta1-ondmnd-1536-192.show-p1984.zip

here a bad guallity video to prove:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I6YBjxFzKM
[HTC Sensation] ryohazuki:
The touch screen is way off. That's where most people have gotten if I'm not mistaken. I had a sdk build running with graphics running ( black background no wall paper but everything else fine. ) touch screen was also working but the calibration was way off even though I found a way around to make it close to accurate involving multi touch lol.
[HTC Sensation] tarends:
Mind sharing how you got the touchscreen working? The more we know about this the better we can implement it into thenext stable build.
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
I believe so Romanbb, glad to see you on this thread i hope that mean you may give this a go. The way you made those tweaks every uses i know you can get this working.
[HTC Sensation] ryohazuki:
I'll just post my build if you want, I'll try running it again to make sure what I said was accurate though, haha. I'm not a developer by any means, I was just messing around trying to see what I can do in terms of porting it over on my own. I was just messing around with the files in the sdk build you had originally posted, and used an ota update build for the galaxy nexus.

graphics were fine ( Seemed like no HW acceleration though). The touch screen registered touches but in order to go into an app you would have to use one finger to hover the pointer over an icon and then press with another finger to initiate it. Sort of like clicking on a mouse I guess as it registers it.

Here goes a video.

[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
i think its pretty usefull if u upload it, screen working is quite an improvement in my eyes. (although it seems the reso is not quite right)

thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] dnlsmy:
Please post the date on the thread title OP. This thread is routinely updated without any real development so it would be helpful to know when you have some new test builds for us to examine for you. Also, this will stop the posts about if anything's changed or if the development has stopped.

Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] tarends:
Thanks for this info, I have taken a look at the video and it is as far as i have been with the SDK build i was working on.

But you can upload it to make some people happy, and prehabs we can learn from it.

Has anyone tried to use a calibration program for touch screen to see if that helps out in some way?
[HTC Sensation] ryohazuki:
Here goes a link to my build.

I figured that much. I'm going to mess with this build as well and see what I can do.
[HTC Sensation] cpittman:
Indeed they are. Here's hoping your code Aurora tweet earlier was in relation to this.
[HTC Sensation] bochocinco23:
Has anyone else tried disabling input line from kernel that was used to fix the Skate??? I will try again tonight or tomorrow night for sure but if anyone can do it before then I'd like to see if that will fix our touch screen issue. Sounds pretty promising. Bricked kernel that was suggested earlier still contains those commits so try disabling each line of it in drivers/ input/ touchscreen/ cy8cxxxx it may be in other files as well as I know Faux123's kernel also had a synaptics-i2c-rmi file which contained three instances of the input line enabled.
[HTC Sensation] scarabe17:
Hi everybody ! Your job is realy good, TY for trying to make our devices better and better, don't worry about what's not working, in the worst case, official HTC's OTA will help us soon :)
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
That's not "touchscreen working", that's exactly what we already have... and we already got that far in the SDK build. Thanks for your efforts though.

[HTC Sensation] subhramani:
I see that HTC have some kernels for download. Is that something that you guys have been waiting for that can be used for this?

I don't know a damn about this thing apart from just flashing ROMs, so wanted to know :P
[HTC Sensation] alvaradorocks:
The htc kernels would help if:

1. they weren't missing important bits that they devs somehow had to fix

2. the kernels were ics specific and

3. if the aosp device tree included more devices closer to ours or at least allowed building with other devices...

So yea, htc is not helping much other than doing the same as the bootloader unlock, e.g. waiting for someone else to do it first...
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
I was able to build the kernel finally, but it won't boot. I didn't even modify anything at first, and I used BumbleBee's kernel source from CM7-SelfKang10. The kernel in CM7 works fine to boot, but when built from source it reboots after HTC logo. I don't think the source online is matching the kernel that was released. I tried faux123's CM kernel, and it boots. I'm gonna see if that will boot if I compile it. As long as it does, I'll make the edits as in the above posts and see how things go. Anyone in this thread experienced in working with the kernel?
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
You need to use the cyanogenmod-exp branch, then it will boot. Had the same problem
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
You got it booting with ICS? Did you pull kernel config from your phone or if not what did you use?
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Booting yes. Display, no :(

Edit: using stock CM7 ramdisk and the defconfig provided by bumble bee
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
Try the libs in the SDK port, got my graphics looking normal :)

Also, I did a make clean, now it boots!
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Do you know where those libs came from?

Seems like anywhere I read of ICS booting the libs were frankenstiened in from a mixture of AOSP and HTC libs (and I mean that in the worst way possible)
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
I hear the ones in the SDK port for Sensation are from the Puccini. I can't say for sure though. By the way, for touchscreen...Should I be looking for the cy8c one again, because I've seen elsewhere it should be an Atmel??
[HTC Sensation] tarends:
Egl modules inc libsurfacefkingeribg are from cm7. Gralloc and depending libs are from the leaked puccuni tablet rom (hc). The other libs are a mixture but should not be depending for the results we are looking for at this moment.
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Been trying puccuni libs all day... wrong ones/combinations I suppose. Thanks for the heads up, good to know I was headed in the right direction.

[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
Thank you for trying to help but this is nothing new. We are well aware that HTC releases their kernel sources because they have no choice.
[HTC Sensation] tarends:
Had the same problem when i tried to port the galaxy nexus rom. You could replace libhw with one from the SDK build aswell.. as far as i know it gives extra information on hardware that is present in te sensation.

Take a good look at your logcat and seek where problems start. Most of my problems with no graphics came from the gralloc module that was missing some files.

The egl module inc depening files and libsurfaceflingering from puccini should give graphocs aswell but it will be glitchy, that i fixed with using the cm7 libs. But it can be any official htc lib package aswell.

The libegl_android.so in the egl folder should not be replaced as far as i know. If you need more help you can pm me a logcat where i could take a look at.

Pull battery for a couple minutes.

Never tried this but many people on xda have said that it works! Hope you get it working again

if that fails, pull out the full EC05 odin using repartition and run that. then go back to ICS and go again... make sure that when you are rooting using odin, do not select repartition...

If you use a GSM rom it will work in us for both att and tmo, I know att only gets edge though, not sure about tmo, the frequencies should give it 3g on tmo though

In my opinion, 3.5 is a big step up from v3.

Keep on rooting boys !!

As a reminder does rooting wipe my phone? And if so anyway to back everything up so I don't have to reload it all?
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
The actual rooting process doesn't wipe your phone. You can backup all of your apps and stuff with Titanium once you do root, then go nuts trying out new ROMs. I use Android Revolution HD 4.1.7 along with the stock kernel (just for the zero shutter lag on the Amaze camera mod v7). Amazing phone/ROM combination for me until a really stable CyanogenMod 9 is released.

Just follow the guides exactly no matter what you flash, and remember your friend, the search button.
