[Nook Touch General] davidsimon:
I just bought the new nook with glowlight. Previously, my wife and I shared the basic kindle 4 without touch. My experience so far has been great. I prefer the nook interface to the kindle, and the glowlight has been a godsend - my wife hates any light while she is sleeping, and the glowlight at its lowest setting doesn't bother her and is perfect for reading in the dark.

The biggest adjustment for me coming from the non-touchscreen kindle, is having to deal with incidental page turns. While looking for the optimal position to read and hold the nook, I often find it most comfortable to have my hand on the actual screen. Sometimes I also like to follow along with my finger. Both of these actions will cause the nook to perform unintended page turns, or at the very least bring up the menu. Sometimes I have to spend a large portion of my reading time just finding my page again.

I realize that with time I can learn to be more careful and only hold the nook by the bezel. But, since the nook has those wonderful physical page turn buttons, I figured it has to be possible (assuming the nook is rooted), to disable the touchscreen while reading a book. Maybe a button could be added to the nook menu (the options that display when you hit the n button) that toggles between enabling/disabling the touchscreen. I’ve searched for a way to implement a feature similar to this but haven’t been able to find anything. Does anyone know if there is a way that I can accomplish this for my nook?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Is it possible to disable the Zforce touch screen? Yes

Is it possible to enable the Zforce touch screen? No

Apparently there is a bug in the driver.

To disable the touch screen:

# cat /sdcard/zero.txt>/sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0050/on_off

(Where zero.txt is a single byte file of the digit zero without any line termination.)

There is also the issue that if you do turn off the touch screen you would have to use a hard button to turn it back on.
[Nook Touch General] davidsimon:
So I take it then that there is no existing method to do this. Does this mean that we can disable it but would never be able to re-enable it due to the bug?

Regarding the issue of using a hard button to turn it back on, I figure the n button could be used, but there is still the bug.
[Nook Touch General] persichini:
If i remember right its been a while... Cool reader allows you to customize the touch screen zones (there i 9 i think) to do different things... one of the options is to do nothing. You can also set cool reader to be the default app so when you click a book in the library it automatically opens in cool reader. By setting ever touch screen zone to do nothing its would technically disable the touch screen while reading. because none of the zones would turn the pages. but once you exit the app or hit the N button the screen would still work.

check it out if your rooted.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, that's another way to do things, have an app over the target app that captures the touches and does nothing.

You could also patch the stock Reader so that it doesn't respond to any screen touches.

That's actually quite easy.

It would have the advantage of not affecting anything else.

Personally, I find the hard keys too hard and I always use touches on the stock Reader to turn pages.
[Nook Touch General] Dopedangel:
You actually don't need to do that in coolreader it has a disable touch screen option I have just set one of the buttons to disable and enable touch when I double press.
[Nook Touch General] muness:
Way cool, but I can't find the option. Where is the disable touch screen option?

Thanks!
[Nook Touch General] _ig_:
I'm interested in this, too. Send us the instructions!! :D
[Nook Touch General] Rafsen:
Open Options, and go to the fourth tab (this one with a pin icon). There u have 'Key actions'. You can assign to your buttons different actions - eg. Lock/unlock touch screen. Works great ;)
[Nook Touch General] muness:
Awesome. :D
[Nook Touch General] _ig_:
So, I created an apk (NookIROff) to disable the touch-screen and this part worked. I also created another apk (NookIROn) to cat a "1" to on_off, and managed to bind the n button to my NookIROn app. However, as per Renate's post, this didn't re-enabled the IR / touchscreen and I had to reboot the NST by holding the power button for some 10sec, release, and hold it again for another 10sec.

Any ideas? I suspect if we manage to tweak the IR on/off then we could leave the NST permanently on the home page, with wifi enabled and with a few widgets for email etc for a few weeks without any need to recharge it.
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
Not sure about such battery life with wifi on. If I leave wifi on but the device otherwise off, I lose 3-5% battery per hour. With wifi off, it's good for a week or more, easily. I think the idea of disabling the IR sensors is great, but I'm not sure the battery savings will be enough to allow you to leave the screen active and wifi on.
[Nook Touch General] _ig_:
had a look at the kernel code in zforce.c which I believe is the one in my multitouch hacked kernel (https://github.com/arkusuma/nook-touch-multitouch/blob/master/zforce.c)... basically

echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0050/on_off

works to switch it off, but

echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0050/on_off

doesn't work, nor does

echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0050/cmd

which should have a similar effect (ret = i2c_smbus_write_byte(tsc->client, cmd); where cmd = #define COMMAND_ACTIVATE	0x01)

all this said, when I get the nook to sleep by pressing the on/off button on the back I believe it goes into "deep_sleep" after a couple of secs; at this point, pressing the "n" button on the front restores the IR, so I suspect it's calling "static int zforce_resume(struct i2c_client *client)" which in turn checks whether the device was indeed on deep_sleep mode before re-initializing touch (IR) and the interrupt as per below code snippet. So, re-enabling IR should be OK but I don't want to monkey around with zforce.c... in terms of battery life, I am still checking stats before/after and I believe it goes from a 4% drop w/screen + IR + wi-fi on to about 1.5% drop if IR is disabled, but I need more time to quantify this gain in battery life.

if (deep_sleep == 0)

return 0;

zforce_touch_hw_init(1);

enable_irq(tsc->irq);
[Nook Touch General] KEYofR:
I want a way to do this too.

I already ruined a touch glow screen by simply handling it for a week without a case. No one had any idea at that time how ridiculously delicate the light-carrying film was and how it makes big starburst lights around every crack and blemish, and how effortlessly those cracks form.

So now I DO know I have to be fanatically paranoid about letting anything touch the screen that might put a crack or a scratch in it.

That means at the beach it simply must be inside a ziplock bag to keep sand off.

We need a way to disable the IR so things like a plastic bag don't activate it, and operate the device entirely from hardware buttons EVEN THOUGH yes I agree I don't like the bezel buttons for page turns either, NORMALLY.
[Nook Touch General] WheezyE:
I have a rooted nook simpletouch I got at Goodwill and wanted to chime in on how to disable touch for books:

Moon+ Reader allows you to disable screen touches too. Tap the center screen while in a book, press the cog that appears in the lower right, change everything in control options to "none" (the side clicky-buttons will still flip pages), then go to Miscellaneous and check "Disable vertical scrolling on touch" and uncheck "Allow fling horizontally to turn page."

I still have to touch the center of the screen to bring up options, but it's very intelligent and only responds to a quick tap -- not a long press of my thumb as I hold the nook awkwardly while reading in bed.
[Nook Touch General] ALinkToTao:
Has anyone worked on this at all? IG, if you have that apk to turn the IR off still, I would greatly appreciate it. I have been messing a lot with the NST and I would love to be able to conveniently turn off the IR. I don't mind having to turn the Nook off and on again with a long press to get the IR back on.
[Nook Touch General] ALinkToTao:
The reason why I want to do this is to save battery life while running a large print clock app which I found called NightClock which came from android 1.6 donut. I can leave the clock app open but turn off the IR sensors to save battery and let it run longer without a charge. I'd also like to do this using renate's simple reader app and using the side buttons to turn pages.
[Nook Touch General] ALinkToTao:
Does anyone have his apk or anything similar that will disable the IR array? I'd really like to use this for various applications. I don't mind at all having to reboot by holding the power button down. This could be used for Nooks with bad IR arrays to re-use them as really low battery clocks or calendars, and would also be good for extreme battery savings while reading (using the side buttons only for page turning).
[Nook Touch General] _ig_:
it's been a while... 6 years... let me see if I can find it... :eek:
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
When the NST is not actively tracking your finger only one IR LED is being flashed occasionally.

I really don't think the current usage is that high, although I can check.

If you are having trouble with the IR touch screen the problem could be a) dirt, b) alignment of the plastic lenses.

You can try the Touch.apk (in the signature) to visualize where the problem is.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Erm, well, that app was just tossed off and wasn't as robust as it should have been.

In my defence, it always worked for me! :p

I just posted a new version in the signature, if it totally fails you just get a blank app screen.

Your problem is probably that you can't read ledlevel. Try this:

# cat /sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0050/ledlevel
15 15 054 080 05 06 070 087 05 05 072 078 03 03 074 071 05 03 071 068 02 03 077 082 05 05 087 072 03 03 083 070 05 02 085 066 02 05 075 072 08 08 077 072
15 12 027 077 05 03 079 069 02 02 077 073 01 02 082 079 01 02 076 070 02 02 079 070 02 02 081 088 03 05 080 079 03 03 082 076 02 03 081 072 02 02 076 074 02 02 075 078 01 03 072 074 05 08 071 069 15 15 039 009

Is it there? Does it show two lines of numbers?

Maybe the driver changed (like in the NG3) and the ledlevel is not exposed anymore?

[G2 and Desire Z General] jmpcrx:
Hi, I've decided to get myself a sony smartwatch, so before I do, I'm just wondering i if anyone on here has tried using one with a desire z/g2? Preferably running the miui gingerbread rom as I am (I know that's a bit of a long shot, but u never know!) If you have, do all the features seem to work properly?

Many thanks..

Jamie.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jmpcrx:
Well, ill be able to answer the question myself in a few minutes as i received it today, and it has been on charge for nearly the 2 hours stated in the instructions.. omg i think a little bit of wee came out im so excited, like being a kid again tee hee!
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtdRR:
Lol, congrats. Let us know what you think.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jmpcrx:
well for anyone thinking of getting one, it does indeed work with the desire z..

Im pretty impressed tbh, it looks good, is very smooth in operation and pretty responsive (although the double tapping the screen to wake up doesnt work too well, sometimes i have to tap up to 5 times, but i simply shake to wake instead.. hopefully they will sort this in the next firmware upgrade of which there has been two already, so at liest sony are taking interest).

There are already quite a few apps, i think around 70-80,(you can see whats available by typing 'sony smartwatch' into google play) and growing every day, i have downloaded many already, including (other than all the standard stuff such as sms, email, weather etc),,, google maps, and it works well! includes zoom functions and map, and i read about street view too somewhere but have'nt looked yet,, impressive. one annoying thing is album covers are not shown on the music app (with the desire z anyway), but im sure someone will develop another music app soon.

one thing that would have made the watch perfect would be the addition of a speaker and mic for phone calls, but i guess ill have to wait for the I'M watch to be released, if it ever is!

also i charged the battery for the inittial two hours, and used it for about 5 hours of heavy use before it died, but this is normal, needs a few charges to get up to standard apparently, so ill report back in a few days if anyone is interested.

so overall it gets a genuine 8/10 form me. Which would have been 10 if it included a speaker and mic, sort it out sony! - but still,, very good.

I'll post mine tomorrow. I was getting around 5200 in quadrant but it's went down to like 4800. I think it was when I went from using the 1.82 boot img to 1.88. I was also switching using the dualcoremod vs using sysctrl to change values so I'm not sure what actually caused the drop. I'm not really much on benchmarking though cause although my scores dropped, my phone seems to be running smoother and multitasking issues have been nonexistent.

Haha I ran my phone at 1.8 all day today no problems. But I don't really know how it affected battery life because I had it on a charger almost the whole time at work. However I suspect that my battery life will be crappy with both mods running. I just underclocked my device at 1.1 to see if I can get some good battery life tomorrow. A lot of people say its unstable, and doesn't work well but not many have tried it. Running at 1.1 and using power save governor, the phone still flies :rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gtung99:
Guys i'm wondering how some of you are getting such high benchmarks with these aftermarket roms?

I'm running the stock 1.73 and getting around 5000-5100 but whenever I install CleanRom, Sick Sense or even the new AOKP my scores drop huge. I notice in Quadrant the thing that changes the most is the IO score. Normally I would be around 6ks but with any of these other roms i'm around 3-4k.

Before I install, I do a factory reset and wipe cache. I have also checked after the battery is full. I still find the stock 1.73 rom being faster.

So what are you guys doing differently?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
Most of us are running either over clock to 1.8 or the Dual Core Mod. Also, after running the tests multiple times or right after you flash the scores will be bad because everything is hot. Quadrant doesn't work for me at all for some reason, my score is always low no matter what I do. However it took about a day to achieve my high antutu score after everything settled and was not hot. Put your phone in the fridge while you run a test a get the best scores possible! Haha.
