thanks for this :)
[Atrix 4G General] moonzbabysh:
Works on photon too!!

I can confirm that this .zip also works on the Photon too.

@OP::hope you dont mind but i created a thread in the Mopho section for this zip working on it, so we can all enjoy it now.
[Atrix 4G General] Notorious544d:
I don't mind.

Nice to see that it also works for photon. :)
[Atrix 4G General] lunder:
I love you
[Atrix 4G General] JaronBang:
Just wanna say.. youre the man!

Honestly, that was my most unwanyed feature in the ATRIX and its gone!
[Atrix 4G General] Wiplex:
Works like a charm on retail german Atrix. Thanks a lot :)
[Atrix 4G General] Blueangel180:
Why isn't this in the development section? instead of being buried in the general section
[Atrix 4G General] TheSmokingAndroid:
I agree notorious, you should have this moved to development!

This is literally a solution for a BIG problem...

Works on stock rom At&t. With Manual copy of the file

Hi, just to confirm it works in mi atrix 4g at&t rooted, what I do is replaced the file touchpad.cfg in /system/etc/touchpad/22 with root explorer, after that change the permission to mach the original file, reboot and done. Just check if you have the file in directory 21 with the same number in NUMTOUCH, which mine is NUMTOUCH=5 in both files.

Thanks. This is my first post. in xda

Works great. I'm using Dorian's Red Pill.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] knigitz:
Could you host a .zip for reverting back to the stock files, or does a cwm backup revert back?

This seems to work in CM9 Alpha 6... I'll try running through the apps used in the video to confirm, but by GBA emulator seems to be playing nicer =)

[Atrix 4G General] vatriarch:
is there any way to make this method work in my Milestone XT720?? I can't figured it out bcoz there's not "touchpad" folder in my droid.. I mean, maybe different folder or file in mine,... Please, I need it so badly... :(
[Atrix 4G General] moonzbabysh:
There has to be a touchpad folder, have you followed the path of where the mod is? /system/etc/touchpad/22/touchpad.cfg

MoPhoACTV Initiative
[Atrix 4G General] Notorious544d:
Usually, phones don't have a touchpad folder (I think). Atrix and Photon are kinda exceptions and we're lucky we're able to edit it and remove the raindrop nonsense.

I think usually, this will be controlled from the kernel as it is basically tweaking the touchscreen driver, but I'm not 100% sure.

So in this case, the XT720 probably doesn't have the touchpad folder.
[Atrix 4G General] vatriarch:
hmm, okay, I got it, thx for ur reply mate,

Raindrop Fix

Thanks Notorious544d, didnt even notice this, for a long time. I was too busy flashing roms. Works on all roms i have tried so far, (Thats nearly all). Only noticed when i decided to play a game for a change. Thankyou very much.
[Atrix 4G General] infestedd:
you gave me a REAL reason (this+multitouch) to root my device. i cant thank you enough. BTW

this should be added to the main topic, since it works like a charm, and makes no need to have an unlocked bootloader, only root
[Atrix 4G General] EleKtroZ:
That's right no need to Unlock Bootloader only root. I'm in stock rom! rooted.
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Thank you for fix. I looked into files and there is only two differences:

TCHAUTOCAL=75 -> TCHAUTOCAL=0 ;actually fix

NUMTOUCH=2 -> NUMTOUCH=5 ;for 5 multi touch

Basically I can just change TCHAUTOCAL to 0? :)

Edit: Yes, it is enough. Of course, I changed NUMTOUCH to 5. It is enough to modify or copy file from Notorious544d to \system\etc\touchpad\22\ and you're gonna get 5 fingers touch and raindrop fix.

Huge thanks!!!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] drags_:
I am guessing this fix is included in Jokers latest cm9? I tried a multitouch test and it showed five points and didn't screw up after holding it down for over a minute. I can finally play some games, if only GTA3 wasn't all messed up after the last update.
[Atrix 4G General] ustrucx:
This is wow!!!111

My last device was a defy...now the atrix and I ever wondered when the games would have good controls and stop acting up, i gave up gaming for good...now i checked my new rom have this fix and going over all those games is a whole new thing now.

Thanks!!!
[Atrix 4G General] dotdotdotz:
Thanks very much nok07635 [for finding the fix] and Notorious544d [for sharing]!

You guys have fixed the biggest bugbear on the Atrix ever!

Wonder which genius had the great idea of porting the Defy driver settings in the first place....
[Atrix 4G General] bchliu:
Cannot replace touchpad.cfg?

Can I just ask how you guys just swapped the existing touchpad.cfg file without using CWM? I have tried for ages using a whole heap of things (eg. Terminal, Webtop, Explorers etc). All have given me a Read-Only or Access denied error even though I have rooted it / running in SUDO access.

Wasnt sure how to install CWM (as I am not sure if my phones bootloader is unlocked) so this method seemed easier.

Running Telstra Stock 2.3.4 GB with Webtop2SD.

Thanks..
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
If you have rooted phone use for example ES File Explorer. First in settings enable root access and mount system as read/write then just copy file from first post (unzip touchpad.cfg) over existing one. Other option is to edit file and change TCHAUTOCAL=75 to TCHAUTOCAL=0. Look my previous post.

Obviously, your phone must be rooted!
[Atrix 4G General] dotdotdotz:
Hi you might want to try what I did, which was to unzip the file first. Then copy the '22' folder to etc\touchpad using root explorer in r/w mode. Please remember to do a backup before doing so! *protip: If you screw up and lose touchscreen functionality, get a superdock/lapdock and using the mouse and keyboard restore your backup:)*
[Atrix 4G General] Moonshield:
Hey Notorious544d,

First, I wanted to thank you for this, making the Atrix overcome its last hardware/software Moto-defect.

Just have 1 question- Does this fix work on ICS-based roms?

:cool:
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
AFAIK yes and is already implemented in jokersax build.
[Atrix 4G General] bchliu:
Thanks everyone for their tips. Took me about 3 goes and found out two pieces of info when I tried to edit:

1) ES Explorer is already using Root to access the system files. However, I did not turn on the option for R/W mounting (which is the same situation when I was in the shell) hence the reason why it kept saying "Read Only" before (nothing to do with the Attributes)

2) When I used ES Explorer to edit the file, the file size came out as being less than the original. Rebooted and the touchscreen stopped working. After trying to edit it a few times, finally got it working by getting it to edit it as a MSDOS based text file of 1.9kb (which gave one byte less than the original since I changed 75 to 0) as opposed to the 1.7kb. Lucky I had the webtop enabled to get this fixed!

I have been having some issues as of late with the infamous Atrix Screen stuttering issues and had no response from the touchscreen or the buttons sometimes unless I sleep it using the power and bring it back again. Hasnt done it to me since the upgrade, but its still early days and hopefully will fix it better.
[Atrix 4G General] Sir_Brizz:

[Atrix 4G General] killinme1:

[Atrix 4G General] Notorious544d:

Besides, many latest ROM's have this mod implemented now anyway.

[Atrix 4G General] Radiobuzz:
Ok guys I need some idea, I was to revert the raindrop fix so I changed TCHAUTOCAL back to 75 and NUMTOUCH to 2. Now my screen isn't working and I can't transfer the fix's zip to the phone because my cable doesn't work. What can I do? :(
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Are you kidding about cable? How do you charge your phone? Over the air? :)

Buy a new cable ;)
[Atrix 4G General] Radiobuzz:
No I'm not kidding, it got burned a while ago, I just charge the phone over the multimedia dock. I would like to go to bed now but I need to set the alarm... Please if you can think of something I could do I would be grateful. I can access recovery just fine but of course I have nothing to flash.
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
I hope that you can buy new cable in your town :)

I have few, one at home, one at work, one in laptop bag...
[Atrix 4G General] andresrivas:
I Was having the very same problem the first time I tried to do this. Solution: Plug the phone in the dock and plug any usb mouse, suddenly, a wild cursor appears! :D

Seriously, when you plug an mouse on the dock, you can control the phone with it and you will be able to restore these files (I assume you did a backup...) Also, check permissions and owners, my problem was that after the modifications, the files where owned by system instead of root.
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Yes! I forgot about USB mouse. Great feature. You can even plug in keyboard, stick... :)
[Atrix 4G General] Radiobuzz:
Thanks a lot! I didn't know about this feature, worked like a charm!

Now that this is fixed, do you know how to deactivate this fix under Neutrino? Why won't the default settings work?
[Atrix 4G General] andresrivas:
You're welcome!! Glad to help! :)

Hum.. I think its a permissions issue..

Just in case, I'm attaching my backup copy of the original file :)

Permissions are:

rw-r--r--

owner (username:groupname) is root:root.
[Atrix 4G General] Radiobuzz:
Thanks again! That might as well be it, I will try it when I have a some spare time.

Gracias de nuevo! ;)

[Atrix 4G General] lexard:
Hello Guy´s,

at first: sorry for my bad english ;)

I have a Atrix MB 860 and I´ve changed in \system\etc\touchpad\22\ the data from TCHAUTOCAL=75 -> TCHAUTOCAL=0

(I looked on page 6 user Zeljko1234).

Ok, after a reboot it works.

Then I changed NUMTOUCH=2 -> NUMTOUCH=5 and I turned off the phone.

The phone restarts automaticliy (huh?!) and now the touchscreen doesn´t work. I´ve restartet it several times. Now I´ve done a hard reset and the touchscreen is still not working.

At the same page (6) the user dotdotdotz wrote:

*protip: If you screw up and lose touchscreen functionality, get a superdock/lapdock and using the mouse and keyboard restore your backup*

ok, now I have bought a superdock (I think I will recieve it in 4-6 days) but does it than work? I think I must start the webtop application when I plug the phone in the dock!? But I can't because the touchscreen doesn´t work.

Can someone help me? Or should I send it to a repaircentre?
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
It's wise to make backup (nandroid from custom recovery) before make changes in system files ;)

How did you edit file? It's Linux file and some Windows editors will screw up it (wrong EOL, EOF)

You can connect your phone to PC and manually push right file to it with adb. Or you can connect phone with OTG cable to powered USB hub and connect mouse and keyboard.

Probably easiest way to recover is to just flash zip from first post using custom recovery. If you use touch recovery, flash another one not touch based. Then you can navigate through it with volume up/down and confirm with power button. In custom recovery you can mount storage and copy zip to it.
[Atrix 4G General] lexard:
I have installed the root explorer to go to this file. And when I long push at the file I can edit it. So I think I have edited it with root explorer?!

At the first time (when I edited TCHAUTOCAL=75 -> TCHAUTOCAL=0) it works. So I think the "editor" is ok for thinks like that.

But what do you mean with: You can connect your phone to PC and manually push right file to it with adb. Or you can connect phone with OTG cable to powered USB hub and connect mouse and keyboard.

When I connect the phone to the pc I can´t select "connect to sd card" or something like that. And what is adb?

And the OTG calbe is the normal "charging cabel"?. Hmm...when this realy works I should search a powered USB hub.

Probably easiest way to recover is to just flash zip from first post using custom recovery. If you use touch recovery, flash another one not touch based. Then you can navigate through it with volume up/down and confirm with power button. In custom recovery you can mount storage and copy zip to it.

I think i can´t flash, because I think I have no recovery app. So I think it would be the easiest way for me, when I test the USB-hub version.

But with the dock it should work too?
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Probably you unlocked and rooted phone already. If you did, you may have custom recovery. Turn off your phone (pull out battery if you can't), put battery back, press volume down and then power button, select Android recovery.

If you have custom recovery, download zip from first post, connect your phone to PC, in recovery select "mounts and storage", "mount USB storage", copy zip to phone, unmount, restart recovery ("advanced", "reboot recovery"), then select "install zip from sd card", navigate to zip you copied....

Thread about recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204500

It seems that you're not familiar with Android and Atrix. Please read carefully about unlock and root process, what is ADB, CWM etc.

Good luck :)
[Atrix 4G General] lexard:
It is rooted (I think after the hardreset I have made it is still rootet!?). But I have no custom recovery. I have copied the zip to the sd card.

But: no custom recovery -> no recovery selection "mounts and storage" and no "mount USB storage".

Only the "normal" recovery options.

Ok, I have read about adb and I still "installed" it on my pc.

But the program can´t find a device. Maybe after the hardreset the "USB-Debugging" is off?

So there are two options? (I hope it are options which are possible to do with no touchscreen):

- powered USB hub

- Dock
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Third option is still custom recovery ;) Did you unlocked your phone? Do you see unlocked when powering up? If answer is yes, carefully read link what I gave you. If answer is no, then read very carefully unlocking process.
[Atrix 4G General] lexard:
So the

- powered USB hub

- Dock

options are only with custom recovery possible?

Do you mean with "unlocked" rooted or something else? It is only rooted. No other rom etc. EDIT: Ok, it is not unlocked, no "unlocked" appears
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
If is not unlocked than you can try to use powered USB hub, OTG cable, keyboard and mouse to edit this file again or even better to copy right one over. You can extract right one from zip in first post.

Just in case, make backup of your original file. Do it every time when you're changing something ;)
[Atrix 4G General] lexard:
and Speciay

Are you sure that this option works or could it be the it would not work?

I have a backup of the original file on my pc that´s no problem.

So, now I must look für ah powered USB hub...well...ich hope it works.

Thank you
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
If you still have stock rom from Motorola, keyboard and mouse will work. At least worked for me. I'm not sure are your phone still rooted.
[Atrix 4G General] lexard:
Well, I think it must be rooted. Because I used Root Explorer and Titanium Backup and so on. And I edited the file in /system/.../.../22/ (Touchscreen)

So if it wouldn´t be rooted, I can not see those file in /system/...

Is that correct?
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
You may see but without root access you cannot change. Problem is that you did factory restore and I don't know what happened with root and super user apk. Sorry, it was long time ago when I had locked phone and stock rom :)
[Atrix 4G General] lexard:
I think you have after hard reset still root access.

But if I do not have root access, I can download superuser, root explorer etc on the sd card and put it in the phone. Than I can install via mouse and keyboard, or is this impossible?
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Should be possible. Remember you need OTG cable...
[Atrix 4G General] lexard:
oh wunderfull

it works :)

I used the powered usb hub and I had to "root" it again, thank you thank you thank you :)
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Happy end :)

If you wish to unlock your phone and enjoy in really great roms and even better new kernel, please be very, very careful with unlocking process. If you make mistake, solution will not be that easy or will not be at all ;)
[Atrix 4G General] lexard:
Well, new roms are great, but then there´s no warranty.

They say, if you root there would be no warranty too, but you can unroot it...so you have warranty again.

Thanks

So I can just copy the "touchpad.cfg" into the right folder on the telephone without cwm?

Another question:

Can I make a complete backup/image without oppened bootloader? If yes, how?
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Yes, you can just copy file to the right folder and then change permissions to same as other files in this folder. Actually that could be your problem at first ;)

Ok, it's possible to make backup :)

It is off topic but this thread is not big or frequently visited so few more questions will not harm anyone.
[Atrix 4G General] ravilov:
Yes, if you have root you can make a backup of everything except the active parts of the system (/data, /cache etc). adb/android terminal and dd are your friends. This is off-topic here.

There was this one thing called something like "live nandroid backup", they say it works well... Never tried it myself, I just don't trust it.
[Atrix 4G General] lexard:
hmm....okay, and how do I change the permissions ?
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
With some file explorer, for example ES File explorer or Root explorer. Long press on file, properties, change permission. On my Atrix is -rw-r--r--
[Atrix 4G General] saiftheboss7:
Does MROM CM7 include this? I often see touchscreen randomly messes up when there I'm sweating & talking. When there is a bit of my sweat is on the screen.

Maybe MROM CM7 doesn't include the Raindrop fix. Am I sure? If Yes, then I'll flash it today! (Just flash it via TWRP & I should be done. Ain't it the process?)
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Just check content of the file according my explanation:
[Atrix 4G General] jeremywh7:
This is in MROM.

Yes it does, for anyone else wondering this (as I was; I just checked in my 20130330 version). FWIW, all the /system/etc/touchpad/2{1,2,3}/touchpad.cfg files have:

TCHAUTOCAL=0

NUMTOUCH=5

in MROM. (and yay I finally have a non-dev forum post to give a useful reply; 9 to go...)
[Atrix 4G General] jeremywh7:
Update for these setings in ICSROM...

[and to find reasonably useful ways to get my post count to 10 so I can reply in dev forums]

I updated to ICSROM 1.4.6 today, and after needing to update the kernel to fix deep sleep reboots...my home button wasn't working. Then after tracking down that fix (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42015956&postcount=985), I found another reference in the AtrICS v2.0 thread for a .zip w/ that and a multitouch update (setting autocal=0 and numtouch=10). Trigger memory recall. So here I am...

In ICSROM, /etc/touchpad/22/touchpad.cfg has:

TCHAUTOCAL=75

NUMTOUCH=2

There aren't other directories (20,21,22) like in GB.

Has the raindrop issue been seen on ICSROM or AtrICS? numtouch=10 seems ridicuous; so does 5, really. Not sure I'll touch (pun intended) it, but I'm thinking I will change the autocal, once I've used the ROM for a few days.
[Atrix 4G General] andresrivas:
Yes, it is present even on cm10.1.

changing it from the phone made touch unresponsive, so it only works when flashed

Enviado desde mi MB860 usando Tapatalk 2
[Atrix 4G General] jeremywh7:
I've seen reference to this occurrence before; I think its because the config file has a space character at the end of each line. When I've hacked it w/ ES File Explorer, I always leave the extra character alone, and just change the number, and have never had an issue. Just did it again now, as I finally changed the one running CM9 over to match the other's ICSROM, then remembered the home button and GPS issue fixes, and finally this one. /digress

I miss it, but I love my X '13 more (as does my wife w/ her G LTE).
