I'm looking for verification from the op that he used these videos and links successfully to gain root and install a ROM?

I am very android oriented.... just never played with a D3. GF's stock D3 is running, well, sucky stock. And she asked me to fix it for her. I was going to request something similar as far as a flashing guide so I could get it all set in one night

Thanks to those for posting the links and resources

[Motorola Droid 3] rafpac:
Confused Noob.

Hello I just recently ordered my DROID 3 from Ebay (can't wait to get it). Now I know that there are two roms which are the CM 9 and CM 10 and they work with ICS and JB respectively. Also there are variations with KEXEC and stuff like AOKP now this is getting confusing for me. I have never owned an Android my whole life I have been a Linux user. So are the alpha builds of CM9 and 10 working properly? As in can you make calls, use the play store and download apps on both? Which one should I use? I could not care less about cameras. I am not the picture taking type. Advice please. Make a room in your heart for this Noob. Thank YOU!
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
cm10 is very usable, imo, but that is really up to you

I'm using AOKP JB, which is like CM10

use safestrap 3 for d3, you can install 4 roms and switch between reboots

Hey Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, so what are the latest versions of AOKP JB and CM10? Safestrap seems very useful. I agree with you better to install both and check which one is more useful.

I've installed CM10 on my GNote 2 and i'd like to retrieve all samsungs apps to be able to use the S Pen.

Is there a way to do that ?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austin3161337:
Not really..because all samsung apps only work on the samsung touchwiz framework and CM 10 - AOSP - AOKP - Paranoid android., etc are based on AOSP which is not samsungs touchwiz framework..UNLESS a rom cooker makes a AOSP themed rom on Touchwiz.(Not very easy..tbh) but if you want all the samsung apps you can flash a touchwiz rom and flash the AOSP theme for touchwiz here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1930847)

I actually asked that question in the forum once too haha! But to answer your question the stock rom is odexed most custom roms including CM 10 i believe are Deodexed meaning they are good for themeing and making mods and hacks for it.Odexed on the other side still has some mods that you can flash but they are alot less then deodexed ones

-Downgraded touchscreen firmware to e015

Matt at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40445 figured how to downgrade the touch firmware to a previous version, which had better sensitivity. But it won't stick after a reboot, so I compiled a custom kernel with the downgraded touch firmware.

Here's how to make it stick after a reboot. This requires a my custom kernel and also to manually downgrade the touch driver once using terminal or adb.

This will downgrade your touch firmware from E027 to E015.

First, flash my kernel, download links listed above. .

Second, after flashing the flashing the kernel and rebooting, download this file SynaImage.E015.bin*http://goo.gl/4vzd4 and place on the root of the sdcard.

Then open terminal or adb and request root permission.

Then type the following command "echo 1 /sdcard/SynaImage.E015.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware"

The screen will not be responsive to touch for a few seconds as the firmware is downgraded.

To check if it downgraded successfully, run this in terminal "cat /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/fw_ver" you should get "E015" as a response. Try this after rebooting to see if it sticks.

Your done! Now you have a nice sensitive touchscreen.

Credit goes to Matt who figured out how to downgrade the touch firmware here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40445, comment 42.

This is totally reversible, just flash any kernel or booting into recovery, and the original firmware will update automatically.

CWR Touch will revert the the touch firmware, therefore the touchscreen will be non-responsive for a few seconds when you first boot into recovery, you can use the volume buttons and power button until the touchscreen is responsive again. .

Here's another method to downgrade the touch firmware

Hopefully kernel devs incorporate this. Any ideas if TWRP is borked too? I'm not sure if it has anything but touch options.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] reddv1:
Yeah touch won't work with TWRP either. I can always compile the recoveries with the downgraded touch firmware and that will fix touch in them.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] reddv1:
Yeah, they should include it because it doesn't downgrade the touch firmware, unless you downgrade it manually it just helps it stick. And reflashing the same kernel or any kernel will reverse it automatically. Everyone wins.

This option is nice to have until Google or LG update the firmware themselves.

I love it! Please Google / LG, fix the "ghost touch" issue without making the screen less sensitive.

@Faux: Include it in your Kernel! ;)

@AlwaysDroid / Apfelschale: PRS is the same though, but the sensivity is better. I tested it today in my daily routine.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DarkRyoushii:
this looks promising but I'll probably wait until motley or faux include it in their kernels. Currently running motley since I'm getting this phone RMA'd and wanted to try all the kernels and like it a lot so I don't want to give up those features for a slightly more sensitive screen.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Ranguvar:
It's nice for some people I'm sure but my phone feels just fine.

I hope kernel devs don't enable this out of the box, or at least provide a way of turning it off and on.

Hasn't changed for anyone, I think prs reading having any substance has been debunked. Some readings saying improvement with no difference in prs reading are in the other thread.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Leandros_Ger:
You don't have to include it in the kernel, just replace the old one and test it. It'll be gone after a reboot.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] osuron07:
What app are you guys using to test the PRS readings?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DDeveryday:
The PRS value stays the same after installing this. I'm not sure if it's me, but it does feel a little more sensitive to touch. It's more noticeable when using a stylus when it was completely unusable before. It's an improvement, but it's still not as sensitive as my Nexus 7.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] zookalicious:
Been using this for a week now on stock with no bugs (aside from having to wait when rebooting my phone which is not very often).

I think it's more sensitive. Feels like how it was before I put my screen protector on, but it may just be a placebo. My reading seem a bit lower but not substantially. Either way I'm happy with the touch responsiveness that I have now, so whether it's this mod or just the phone already I'm satisfied.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] MrPhilo:
Wrong thread.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] reddv1:
I thing you are referring to the other touchscreen mod that uses a zip file and downgrades the touch firmware every reboot causing the screen to be frozen for 30 seconds.

With my kernel mod the touch firmware doesn't downgrade at every reboot, you only have to downgrade once. Thus no freezing on every reboot.

Please edit your post because I don't want misinformation spreading about this mod. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] chrisnk204:
What i don't get is if I'm downgrading then i must be losing something can i know what that is before i flash this? And i don't want to hear that you don't lose anything because it would not be an upgrade if it didn't upgrade something

[Nexus 4 Android Development] ElectricAndi:
Open your device manager and look for a ADB Bootloader driver when your N4 is in bootloader and connected to the PC. If you cannot find it then you need to install the driver properly.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] meangreenie:
thanks for the info and your mod :good:,

it's shame only the Matr1x kernel incorporates it so far, other kernel devs refuse to... I don't really know why as it only, afaik, removes the check for touch firmware version and it's up to the user to install the downgraded driver; but I guess they have their reasons....oh well
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Hallucinogen775:
hey guys, i need some advice/help:

i was using mentioned method to flash the e015-touchfirmware to my n4, i am using the latest matrix-kernel v4. it sticks fine and is resilient against shutdowns and reboots. HOWEVER, booting into my touch CWM-recovery (6.6.2.3 i believe) causes the firmware to be upgraded again to e027. when i get into cwm-touch first touch isn't working, but about 20 seconds later it starts working (obviously once the upgrade-flash to e0227 has completed). is this normal and is there a way to also prevent that?

it is annoying, everytime i have accessed my cwm-recovery i need to reflash the e015 until next time i start cwm-recovery.

thanks and best regards,

hallu
[Nexus 4 Android Development] meangreenie:
Yeh that's normal, only fix would be if the cwm's incorporated a boot.img with the check taken out.

Best you can do is make an init.d script to check and install e15 again if e27 has been restored

Re: [KERNEL][MOD] Increase Touchscreen Sensitivity

I just got my n4 last night..and one of the first things I noticed is how horrible the touch screen sensitivity is. Once I unlock the boot loader and root I will have to try this.

Coming from an s3 the touch sensitivity was awesome. I could even use my finger nail to tap on things and scroll.

But on the n4 I can lay my finger on the screen slowly and it will not register the touch. So annoying when your trying to type fast by just slightly hitting the keyboard.
