Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

Hi,

I am using Paranoid Android with the Pie enabled.

I had slide2wake and slide2lock enabled.

Once, the whole touch screen became unresponsive and I had to restart the phone. After restart everything was fine for a while but then the Pie feature stopped working. Luckily with the help of shortcuts in notification dropdown, I was able to reenable the traditional navigation bar and that is working fine.

Have these issues been reported by PA and Pie users? Will providing logcats help?

The above issues did not happen before I installed Touch Control.

I am on motley's b32 kernel and using the Pro version of Touch Control.

Thanks.

I don't know what folks consider to be significant drain when I still easily get 16 hours with 4-4.5 hours screen on with the module enabled. I realize there is actual drain, just for me it is a non-issue when I get that kind of battery life in spite of this, and frankly, several excellent apps that also happen to "drain" the battery. Not knocking anyone who doesn't use the app bc of the drain... Just saying here it ain't no thang. Haha.

Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

Using paid version of touch control and those two gestures are enabled on my phone and I use PIE as well on PA. Only difference is that I use Franco kernel but I have had zero issues with screen unresponsiveness or touch control interfering with PIE. So it may be related to your kernel. Great work dev. Coming from nokia phones, I love being able to use the screen and avoid buttons to lock and unlock.

Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

I'm having the same issue. Franco r71 btw. My swipe would wake my phone but it is unresponsive to any touch unless I swipe to lock and unlock again.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jazzboyrules:
Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

I have a different issue. The screen would wake up using the power button or an event like alarm but then the touch screen would become unresponsive : no swipe to unlock, no Pie. Then the only resort left would be to force restart the phone.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jazzboyrules:
I don't think that you understand what I am asking for.

This is what I see in the change log in Play Store. I was on v1.5 already and so the change for me was "fix for Matr1x kernel". My question was WHAT EXACTLY are the changes. I am using motley kernel but it is likely that the fixes for Matr1x might help the kernel I am using too. And so I asked what exactly was fixed. As it turns out, nothing's fixed for me yet. I get screen unresponsiveness on v1.5a too.

Another reason I was curious to know what was fixed was because the dev bponury posted:

So I was excited to know WHAT EXACTLY was fixed for motley.

Now please allow the dev bponury himself answer to my query.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Hi bponury,

Would it please it possible for you to coordinate with motley on debugging the cause of these screen unresponsiveness issues. I can help with any number of logs that can help with this debug.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bponury:
Fixes mostly include support for that kernels that broke that way or another. Because of the nature of this app it might break support with some kernel at any point in time. So if version A had support for matr1x, B broke it so it didn't work on that kernel and i fixed that in C that's what fix for kernel means :)

About that unresponsive issue all I need is info on how to reproduce this. For GNex one guy found a way to reproduce this and I've fixed it. So a collaboration on this might be very efficient ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stryder5:
I think "Fix" meant he added support for the latest kernels.

Also, I haven't had any unresponsive screen on stock or faux kernel. Have you tried using those kernels yet?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jazzboyrules:
Now we are going somewhere. Thanks for the response!

Here's how the issue comes up every time. I have motley b32 installed, running Paranoid Android with Pie enabled. I am using the Pie with the expanded desktop disabled and with Nav Bar size set to 0%. That way I get to use the Pie and also see the status bar and dropbox notifications.

Now the screen becomes unresponsive when I wake it up (or a set alarm wakes it up) after the phone has been to deep sleep. I saw that behavior from v1.5 onwards (as that was the version when I bought your app). I have just the touch2wake and the double tap wake modules enabled.

So one of the 2 misbehaviors happen with the above setup:

- screen becomes unresponsive and the only cure is to force reboot

- the Pie stops working. I can still use the phone by enabling the navigation bar once again. The Pie starts working after a reboot but that can go away at any time.

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

Changing kernels is not too easy for me. I have got very comfortable with the quality of support motley provides and the features he has added to his kernel (generic gamma control interface, init.d control for many other tweaks). I have been on stock and Franco's kernels before but haven't been too happy in these areas. From what I read, Franco's kernel has improved very much since I switched to motley's.

I would like to try faux but that dev has paid apps for different things: FauxClock and FauxDisplay. I invest in lot of apps frequently (like this one) and donate to devs too. So I would like to see if this issue for motley users can be resolved fairly easily before I jump onto faux's kernel and have to get his apps.

Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

This is the issue I have mentioned a few times (and has actually caused me to have to stop using Touch Control, regrettably). Occasionally, PIE on PA (or LMT for that matter) will just not show up when I swipe where it should be.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jazzboyrules:
Hi bponury,

I am trying to restrict the slide2wake sensitivity to only top 75% of the screen so that the gestures don't confuse Pie which I launch from bottom half of the screen. My theory is that doing so might cure the touch sensitivity issues I am seeing.

I started to tweak the slide2wake settings but I am confused why the end point X coordinate is at 1400 pixel (default setting). The screen is just 768 pixels wide. I see the same when I enable Pointer Location in Developer Options in settings. Is that X(px) simply twice of the actual pixel location?

Can you please provide the max value possible for X(px) and Y(px) for Nexus 4?

Thanks.

What is PA kernel? Link to zip and sources :P
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Hrithan2020:
+1!

For those who wanted to know how this implementation is better than s2w present in some kernels. [ from my perspective, it is possible that some lucky ones didn't have any of these issues, but there were quite a few like me who had these issues]

1. It is less buggy- It doesn't require 2-3 swipes to turn on the device. [ As happens after the screen is off for a long time].

There were of course other issues reported with s2w , which hopefully may be fixed in the s2w v2 which will be released by showp1984 later.

2. It hasn't caused kernel wakelocks for me so far. [For all the other kernels I tried, I had wakelocks caused by switching on s2w]

3. Not to mention the extra features, like doubletap2wake [as in Nokia N9] or slide 2 change songs [doesn't work at the moment, which I don't find much useful anyway]

Not to mention the universality of the app, when it comes hopefully. !! Once it comes, I honestly think it'll be more than worth the price for those who are on custom kernels as well , even for those who had bought PGM for their Galaxy Nexus. Please note that the dev, had to modify / work a lot on this and intends to almost rewrite the entire thing soon, just for our Nexus 4.

Cheers, guys. I have now switched to stock CM kernel to enjoy this app. But, hopefully it'll come for custom kernels as well :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] impruv:
Those of you that had it on GNex, does it affect battery life?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bponury:
Ok, I'm awake again.

First of all, please stop fighting about the paid feature. If this was an application you wouldn't have to pay for it again on new device. However this is a kernel mod which is device dependent. Even if I could mix it up in one app this would bring a sh*tload of bugs, kernel panics and reboots. It's super hard to maintain just one device and I'm not even there yet. The problem with this is that the app looks more or less alike but the module is different and that's just it. Someone here said that it's just two nex devices this shouldn't be a problem at all. Well Nexus7 is still a nexus and I haven't found a way of writing it for that device at all. They are called nexus but that's where the similarities end. Don't forget that it's not an app, it's a kernel module. If it was so similar with gnex version it would work on any phone (and it doesn't).

And another thing... as Hrithan2020 said this is my implementation with some features not found on roms but the most important part is that it works flawlessly without the need to double or triple swipe. I am going to change the way this module works and make it even better but after I find a way to make it more compatible with other kernels (but I'm afraid kernel devs will have to make a configuration change too).

Speaking of kernel support there are two things that make it incompatible:

1) some strange input subsystem patch which might or might not bring some performance on the input (i'm not sure it does that though)

2) kernel compiled with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS

Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

Hi bponury,

I did some more investigation and found this. I hope this helps reaching the root cause of one of the issues I am seeing ie. Pie gets "disabled". And hopefully this is related to the other issue (touch response of the whole screen going dead) which yet has to repeat on the latest configuration of Touch Control Pro v1.5a and PA v3.0 (released on Feb 9) that I have right now.

I have talked to the dev of motley (I am using the latest version of motley kernel, b32) and he hasn't seen any issues with Touch Control on Rasbean. So these issues are likely to be related to PA.

Alright so here's what I found. I can't point out exactly when but after the phone goes to deep sleep for 2 or 3 times, the bottom strip of the screen stops recording any touch. This is what it looks like when I enable Pointer location in Developer options.

Screenshot: http://db.tt/RwvAcrRk

It looks like the OS thinks as if the bottom edge of the screen is higher than it actually is, you see the blue pointer trace going flat few mm from the bottom of the screen. So when I touch the portion of the screen below that flat line, I get no response. That includes,

- Pie not getting activated because its activation region was below that line. The Pie started working fine when I increased its trigger area to Big from Normal in its settings. Making the trigger area Big made part of the trigger area be above that imaginary bottom screen edge.

- Touch responses not recorded when I tap below that flat line for launching apps from app drawer, using bottom keys of the keyboard, etc

So I got the Pie working with the big trigger area if the Pie is activated from the bottom or with the normal trigger area if it is activated from any of the other three edges.

But the bottom part of the screen is still dead. That part becomes active after a reboot but only momentarily and then the above behavior will repeat.

So I believe that once we find out the code in TC or PA responsible for moving the "allowed" screen area to higher than it should be, this issue will be resolved.

UPDATE:

Actually I am seeing reduced screen usability both on the top and bottom of the screen.

Screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dlmdi5vphp35ylm/Screenshot_2013-02-11-09-49-02.png

You can see that the Pointer location trace is unable to touch the top and bottom of the screen. But they can reach the right and left of the screen just fine.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] cocchiararo:

Might be related (or the same, but from the top, and it was not that i could not correctly swipe the notif/toggles in phablet mode, but that touch was not registered from the top where the status bar is, and when my swipe continued, it triggered some nova launcher gesture)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stryder5:
Running PA 3.0 with Faux kernel and also have NOT had any problems activating Pie.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jazzboyrules:
Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

Thanks for the confirmation. Can you please also enable the Pointer location in Developer options and verify that you are able to make the trace touch each of the 4 edges? That will confirm the compatibility of TC+PA+Faux. I will also ask motley to do the same while he is on Rasbean.

My request is that everyone try the same and report the ROM and kernel name and version if they find that they are not able to make the Pointer location blue trace touch any of the sides.
