[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Yes, just adb install Touch-1.0.apk
[Nook Touch General] DannySolo:
I've done that... but where is it? There's no apps in the regular launcher. I see "Home" and "Relaunch" and neither have an app tray.

Maybe I need to do something else.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I dunno. Try this: adb shell am start -n com.temblast.touch/.Touch
[Nook Touch General] DannySolo:
This app is super. Why did I think the IR array was just a grid? Anyway I now see the left-right works fine all the time but the up-down has some line that seem permanently on and others that can be activate with the same pinching the bezel trick.

My first guess is there's a block at the top of the screen somewhere and the up-down isn't registering because there's a sensor always on?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Do a screen grab.
[Nook Touch General] DannySolo:
No easy way to do that, when I plug in the USB cable a box come up to block the screen and I can't get rid of it without more "bending" of the PCB. I just took a photo which might give you some idea what's happening.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Huh. I wonder why this app refuses to run on all my NSTs...
[Nook Touch General] DannySolo:
Well it would run if I opened the case again, bent the PCB a little and dismissed the USB connected message box. Just seemed to be easier to take a photo.

I'm also getting the (literal) feeling that this poor Nook is taking a lot of physical punishment during this supposed repair process so I'm trying to limit the bending, pinching, opening etc.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Yeah, no point in having the cure worse than the disease.

A couple of points which are trivial compared to the challenges you are grappling with:

1. If you are having trouble finding the app drawer in ReLaunch you probably used the original version of NookManager to root. That old ReLaunch had a funny thing with the app drawer. It seems you had to fool around in the Settings (perhaps not even change anything) and then the app drawer symbol would suddenly appear when you returned to the ReLaunch home screen.

2. Again, not so important in the condition you find yourself with, but the original version of NookManager cannot root FW 1.2.2, so if you eventually get the dust to settle, you might want to do it all again with the updated NookManager (after updating the FW, of course).
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
The top and bottom part of the bezel are badly misaligned.

You can see the horizontal lines look good, all light gray except one or two on the edges.
[Nook Touch General] DannySolo:
So I need to move the LCD panel either up or down in the frame? I'll also check for dirt, old tape glue etc. while I'm in there.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
No. You have to adjust the angle of how the really thin translucent green plastic sits in the frame.
[Nook Touch General] DannySolo:
This doesn't sound familiar. I know the screen sits into a plastic rectangle that has a row of roundy bits sticking out of it? Is that the part you are describing?

Could you point me to it please in a video such as

Many thanks, maybe there's something I've missed totally during reassembly and this can be fully fixed? I'm optimistic!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Yes, the knubby rounded bits are on a very thin (~1mm) frame of translucent green plastic.

When you look from the front you can see it under the bezel. (Although it would be difficult to say what color it is.

The whole system is run by a separate processor, a TI MSP430F22720 that communicates to the OMAP3621 over a TXB0104 level shifter. There may be firmware or calibration that is a problem, but if you can ever bend the top/bottom so that the lines clear, that's not the problem.
[Nook Touch General] mregxda:
Is your Touch-1.0.apk still availbale for download somewhere?

Thanks
[Nook Touch General] mregxda:
Apologies. I was too quick with this request.

Found Touch-1.0.apk (and other good stuff) on https://www.temblast.com/android.htm

Thanks
[Nook Touch General] mregxda:
What should the screen look like after performing the command: adb shell am start -n com.temblast.touch/.Touch
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Why didn't you post a grab and I might be able to say something intelligent.

There should be lines, mostly gray and they turn black when you stick your finger there.
[Nook Touch General] mregxda:
Yes of course. Screengrab attached. Touch is completely dead on this Nook.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
It looks like yours is totally dead.

Attached is a normal display. The black is where I poked my finger, the three dotted lines are sub-optimal alignment of the optical path (which often occurs on the edges).

Do this:

C:\>adb shell
$ cat /sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0050/ledlevel

If I remember, this is running off a little MSP430 microcontroller. It may not be getting its firmware loaded.

Do this:

C:\>adb reboot
--- wait until it comes back up ---
C:\>adb shell
$ dmesg|grep 430
$ dmesg|grep MSP
$ dmesg|grep msp
[Nook Touch General] mregxda:
Thanks Renate.

I issued the commands you suggested (see below) but no effect on touch.

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
All those 15's and 0's show that that the touch is dead, dead.

You could try just a plain dmesg and see if anything hits your eye.

It could be hardware, it could be software.

You could try doing a software update and see if that will fix it.
[Nook Touch General] mregxda:
May it rest in peace. I hope to find a new one seventh-hand but they are pretty rare here in the Netherlands.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. My best guess by now is that the scratches I discovered on the screen are causing the malfunctioning.
[Nook Touch General] linlance:
My NST IR array is broken too,I need a notouch ROM for it.But I can't find it...

Maybe This thread is a good idea,Use hard button open Library and open a book.

just PageDown or PageUP.

The blue-green plastic frame between the screen and the casing is used to detect touch, but after so many years, it has become extremely brittle. I'm not sure if it's possible to 3D print a new one; otherwise, most of it is in pretty bad shape.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
No, you're not going to be able to 3D print that. The internal reflection from the layers will kill you. Also, the green isn't the most important bit, it's the ability to pass IR.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chr0m3Chaos:
I love my Mi 11 Ultra. It's a fantastic device and the rear screen adds a fun element to a seriously, beastly phone — but I found it ridiculous that Xiaomi completely cut off access to any other apps besides their own when it comes to allowing notifications on the rear screen. No more! With some inspiration from GuyWithRootedPhone and his Mirror2RearUltra app, I created my own app that allows you to select any app on your Mi 11 Ultra to send notifications to the rear screen.

View attachment 5797347

Features:

• Pick the desired apps for rear notifying quickly and easily with the made-from-scratch app picker.

• Allow Rear Notifier to restart automatically after reboot.

• Tons of customization!

• Change rear display timeout to beyond Xiaomi's 30 second cap.

• Privacy mode, when enabled hides notification details.

• Allow animations with different animation styles and durations.

• Customize the app notification's icon and text sizes to different sizes and colors with support for dynamic coloring based on the app's icon.

• And more!

Update 3.0: Always on Display!

• Clock module with complete gradient-color customizations and animations

• GIF/Image module with all kinds of customizations as well

• Weather module with (you guessed it) more customization!

Update 3.6: Android 13

Hey everyone! I apologize for the delay in updates, but I've been running another ROM and just busy with life. I came back to the newest version of MIUI to find the app wasn't starting the service and investigated. Many of you may have had the issue of the service never seeming to start. The issue stems from Android 13 automatically denying the posting of app notifications without explicit user consent. Being able to show a notification for the service is vital for Rear Notifier's function. To remedy this issue, I've added an additional required prompt to use the app so there's no confusion. From my testing thus far, everything seems to be working as expected.

The update is under review to the Play Store as I type (6/14/23 1:38 PM UTC).

Thanks for your patience!

Bugs squashed:

• Android 13 notification issue resolved (service will start now)

• Fixed issue with GIFs where setting the speed didn't affect the rear screen GIF's speed

• Optimizations and improvements

Bugs/Concerns

• Whenever a notification is sent to the rear screen from this app, it will cause the default clock to disappear until the native rear display apk chooses to refresh itself. At the moment, there's no way that I'm aware of to bring back the native clock on-demand, but that's what my own implementation of the clock is for ;)

Developed and Tested on:

Device: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra (Obviously)

ROM: Xiaomi.EU 14.09.0 Stable

Android Version: 13

MIUI Only!

Google Play Link

Feel free to send me any ideas or issues you have on different MIUI versions and I hope all my fellow Mi 11 Ultra brethren enjoy! :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] fendetestasxx:
I can't find it anywhere.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chr0m3Chaos:
My app? Just click the link that says "Google Play Link" and it'll take you right too it.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] fendetestasxx:
It won't let me install it. I have a xiaomi 11 ultra, obviously.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chr0m3Chaos:
That's strange...it supports Android 12 and up and I double checked to make sure it was allowed in the Play store (of course it was). Also, I uninstalled my dev copy just to see what the Play store said and it allowed me to download it.

I'll attach the latest version that I just sent for review on the Play store minutes ago.

When you install it, and Xiaomi comes up with the "App from an unknown source", make sure to toggle on all the toggles to make it everything works properly.

Running great on Miui14, very nice app!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Robert235:
Thanks for creating this app. Working flawlessly on Miui 14 EU beta.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xbvans:
Nice apps! It will be better if you add more features like clock, weather, stopwatch/timer, control music, opening camera from rear display and more... 😍
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] gorillalaci:
Hi my english ist Bad ....im from Germany...

When i will Test notification the App say i must Start it....

When i start the App ...the App Close ...

What make it wrong ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chr0m3Chaos:
Thank you! I'm glad it's still working on the new MIUI versions!

I wanted to have actual notifications on the rear like Xiaomi should have done, so I may as well share it with this awesome community. Good to know it's working on the newest MIUI versions :)

Thank you! Honestly those are great ideas. Love them! You can bet money that you'll see some/all of those features in the future. My next goal is adding an AoD clock.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chr0m3Chaos:
In order to use the app, make sure you click the 'Start' button at the top right. You should then see a persistant notification in your notification shade. Clicking that starts the notification listening service. If you don't start the service, the app is useless. That's what the message means :) Try that.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] gorillalaci:
I know i must Start the App....when i click in start the App Close

I dont have persitant notification
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] utalpt:
Start button doesn't start and no perm notification, but I'm receiving the notifications from the apps that I selected 😎

Hope to see you soon on Miui14 hehe and bring a new version of mirror2rear as it stopped working on Miui14 and it's super useful for gcam 😅

Thanks again, the app is really well built and user friendly!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chr0m3Chaos:
If the service has been started and nothing is working, then I'm not sure what's going on with your 11 Ultra. I can only help if I see some logs at this point.

That's interesting! Glad it's working though lol. Updating Mirror2Rear would be GuyWithRootedPhone's specialty, but since his code is open source, it is definitely possible to update. Thank you for the compliments though :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] bakaekze:
Any chance you can open source your app?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] amandeepparmar:
@Chr0m3Chaos enabled all permissions and selected Whatsapp & Messages ....but still the "services" fail to start on MIUI 14 error: please start notifications services first and the "START button" beside APPS circles endlessly. Tried rebooting but still doesn't seem to work for me.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] adamdvd:
Use a link, which is not setting the region and language:

Rear Notifier (Mi 11 Ultra) - Apps on Google Play

Allow your Mi 11 Ultra's rear screen to show notifications from any app!

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nihilista:
First: Great idea, i'm waiting for long for some app like these. The crappy rear screen for me never never showas any notification from apps and timeout didn't work at all.

But second: I managed to start the service and send a test notification, but didn't get some messages from apps. But i couldn't set some apps as apps list is empty, it says fetching apps and then nothing. If i type in search field (say i type telegr..), i can see app field for a very little moment and it disappears. And (but sure, thats what you stated above) the rear clock is gone till i disable and enable it in settings.

So again, great idea and great app, but seems it needs some fixing (and own clock would be great as my timer doesn't work and sometimes clock stays forever using battery ;-) )

I'm on latest xiaomi.eu weekly (A13), so maybe thats the problem yet...

Many thx for developing this app, looks promising (y)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Kusznier:
Great idea! Thank You!

I'm testing it and still needs some fine tunning, but looks really good.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chr0m3Chaos:
Huh...I'm not sure why that would be ngl.

Dang that's a weird one. If only MIUI wasn't so flakey with literally everything. I've had multiple people saying it worked great on the newest MIUI releases and a few where it's completely random bugs like that. Not sure what to say without logs though.

As for the clock — I have actually just coded a working implementation of the clock that has the same look and layout w/ the color gradients completely customizable along with a mostly-working weather screen. This will be in a vertical view pager implementation for easy access. I attached a mockup of how those will both look for most part.

I still need to code the UI for customizing the clock and weather though. Expect to see an update in the play store in a few days :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nihilista:
Looks great (y) Whats needed for me is working timeout for screen and double tap function like with system rearscreen app. Don't know whats the problem here with app list, all rights granted but if you tell me how i could do some logging. Looks like some ui glitch, maybe something with zygisk or lsposed module? only have customiuizer module....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chr0m3Chaos:
Since you're rooted you can use an app like this to capture device logs. There's a few apps that work well for log capture. I'm on A12 of MIUI using the customiuizer mod as well. The screen's double tap to wake shouldn't be affected in anyway, but after a notification is shown away, the screen will be blank (until my implementation of the clock is added) and empty, giving the appearance of dttw not working. If the screen turns on when a notification is sent to the rear screen with my app, the screen would stay on with the custom timeout set by this app, but if something's bugged like the app list with the custom timeout, just use this app and find the rear screen time out, change it to whatever you wanted in the app, and then untoggle the custom timeout in RearNotifier so it uses the device's time out instead.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nihilista:
Thats what i did, i just looked into logcat, started your app before and switched to app screen. But its hard to find something related to your app. Btw, i tried to filter some app related lines.....maybe you can have a look.

Timeout never works for me, but never works, even without your app. Setting with setedit never helps, the only thing i was able to was completely deactivating rear screen with macrodroid script (triggered by time or something else).But thats just a bad workaround to prevent rearscreen stay on overnight)

So thats why i'm waiting so long for an app like Yours :)

Maybe it will be a good idea, to have some kind of recurring timer in your app (like showing notification again after x minutes for time x till opening notification or screen on..., bit like with app "aod notify")
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nihilista:
Did a little test, installed Rear Notifier on another device (with running Lineage 20/A13), app list is empty again, so it seems its no problem with miui...maybe something with latest android 13. Strange, as some people say it works with A13.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] PepegAss:
Thank you so much for the app!! I hope that you will make the notification indicator with the red dot and the notification history. That will be super!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] PepegAss:
Waiting for the update!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] utkubrs:

Wow amazing job on the app, thank you
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nihilista:
Hey, project dead now? Till now i could not use it, but with xiaomi rearscreen app i see no change, so its the only hope for a useable back screen un Mi 11 Ultra ;-)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Regioenleon:
Does the persistent notification always stay there?

Or you can block the notification and keep the application working
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] arkon1:
Hi nihilista,

An update is out...

02. March

V3.0

Huge Release!

• Added Clock, GIF, and Weather modules with tons of customization!

• Oodles of bug fixes and optimizations

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nihilista:
That's great👍 will test it
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] corrsea:
I get the spinning start button as well unfortunately.

Using Xiaomi eu stable. Not rooted.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nihilista:
After a first test i can say, that till now not useable for me.

As with latest version i couldn't see apps in list. Notifications seems to work, but it would be cool to have a setting like repeated show of notifications, similar to app like aodnotify.

But biggest problem is clock, after notification pops up and dims, clock starts and with no timeout. The only possibility to close clock is to activate system rear screen app and deactivate it again. So timeout for clock didn't work, doubleclick or flipping device didn't work, too...so clock is shown forever sucking energy and preventing deepsleep.

Btw, the crappy system app for rearscreen sometimes shows clock without reason and did not timeout, too. I really hope some time it will be possible to get rid of miui crap ;-)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] PepegAss:
Give all permissions in settings(notifications) and it will start!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nihilista:
Can't get it work as it should. It starts, i can get test notification but nothing more. Clock has no timeout, i can't see apps on app settings (only for a little moment while typing in search so i can see its activated)....

Maybe its because of xiaomi.eu Android 13/latest weekly...btw.....maybe it will get better ;-)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Alectryon5:
I'm having this issue, it get stuck on start
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nihilista:
Just set all necessary permissions, be sure you allowed all notifications and it will start.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chr0m3Chaos:
Hey everyone! Sorry, I've been incredibly busy with life in general lately and the passing of a family member.

I've been seeing people reporting issues about the service simply not starting and spinning forever. I have a few thoughts there.:

1.) Make sure MIUI didn't auto-deny some permission you already enabled in the settings (use the overflow menu in the app to easily access those permissions).

2.) I believe if you hide the foreground service notification in your Ultra's system settings, it'll cause this issue as well.

Also, I see that nihilista is having an issue with the screen staying on when the AoD activity is started. On my device, I'm not having that issue, as the system that controls things such as "double-tap-to-wake" and dimming and sleeping after a certain amount of time is untouched by my app (as far as I know) while the AoD activity is alive.

That being said, I have just released version 3.3 to the Play Store and it's in the review process as I type. This comes with some bug fixes and optimizations as well as a fix (as far as my testing is concerned) in keeping the Always on Display activity alive. MIUI just loves to kill things.

Everyone, please update at your convenience and let me know if you're having problems. I'll try to help if I can.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nihilista:
Hey, good to see things are going on ;-)

You're right, dimming and sleeping rear screen doesn't work with system, its not your app only. Something wrong with the timer i think, but never get that working, and it seems xiaomi weekly updates fixes mostly bugs i never had. Maybe it is possible to get rear screen to sleep without using system routine? What i really need is bugfix for this, but thats not yours, xiaomi really sucks with that....

But what holds me from using your app is that i couldnt see set apps, but seems thats because i'm on miui14 and not 13. And the only notifications i see are test notifications till now. Btw, will test next versions.

Edit: Testing ver 3.3: No apps in list and clock never goes to sleep, have to enable and disable system clock to clear rear screen. Even if flipping phone (if set system clock goes to sleep then) screen stays on. Last is the only workaround for my never-sleeping screen ....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chr0m3Chaos:
Hmm...I've incorporated Xiaomi's sleep and wake commands for the notification activity, but not the AoD one because it's handled automatically on mine, but for you and others that may have that issue, I can see about adding the same logic to the AoD activity to tell the screen to shut off since it won't do it itself and see what happens.

I've been seeing enough issues about MIUI 14 that I think I will update today and see what's going on with the app selection not working.

Thanks for the feedback. Without it, I could never make the app the best it can be!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nihilista:
Many thanks, automatically closing notifications work, so if its possible to implement that for clock that would be great (and maybe a famous workaround for my problem).

I could say that miui14 working fine here (just small glitches), i updated from 13 and that was ok, now they have twrp and hybrid twrp/fastboot images, so updating is easy, but not without little danger. If some advice needed, just ask. Otherwise many thanks again for working on your app!
