Touchscreen kernel module

Here is the kernel module to create the /dev/ts0 device for userland to talk to.

There's also a simple control utility to change some button settings/timings in the module on the fly.

You need to move the ts folders to the kernel source tree in the right location.

/usr/src/sys/modules

and

/usr/src/sys/dev

then type

cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ts && make && make install && kldload ts

To compile the control utility type

gcc tscontrol.c -o tscontrol

ps. the swipe debug messages are still visible in this version.. you may want to change that in ts.c before you compile it

I'll upload the xorg input driver in a minute.
[Shift General] stefanrink:
xorg driver for ts module

Here is the xorg input driver that talks to my kernel module via /dev/ts0.

Extract it and type

cd ParaTouch && make && make install

add it to your xorg.conf like this;

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "TouchScreen"
Driver "void" # oops i forgot to rename the sceleton :(
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "MinX" "15"
Option "MaxX" "2000"
Option "MinY" "110"
Option "MaxY" "1940"
Option "Device" "/dev/ts0"
EndSection

Calibrate with changing MinX -- MaxY.

(the forum only accepts zip archives so i had to zip the tar)
[Shift General] segfault007:
Wow amazing work. Had to join this silly forum just to download your code.

Has this been made available to the FreeBSD base? I think there are a lot of folks over there who would be quite interested.
[Shift General] Holy Bear:
Wow. Classy.

This "silly" forum was the only way for you to get that code.

But apparently that didn't register when you wrote your post.

*shakes head*
[Shift General] Schoralous:
Very very nice!!!

I know this is kinda an old thread at this point but if you are still monitoring it, I was wondering if you knew/know if this driver will work with other touchscreens?

Reason I ask is I have a Samsung Q1 Ultra that I would love to load FBSD on, the only thing holding me back is no working touchscreen. I was intending to use it as a Media Remote locked on a web page that does the actual "work"

Right now I am using Linux on it but would MUCH MUCH prefer to use FBSD instead as I really prefer FBSD over linux

BSD for SurfacePro

Hi OS,

Do you know how this can be done for the Surface Pro? Using say... PC-BSD.

thanks,

[Shift General] spheroidx:
Do want

I would be fascinated to see this running - BSD has always been my preference :)

Curious, I'm not familiar with the Shift, is it an android device?

I am looking for an app that lets me check scores for all major sports. I have tried various news apps, all of which are either discontinued or really old and have compatibility issues with my phone.

I am currently using a Sprint Touch Pro. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anesh01:
Have you tried sports Nut or Pocket Express ?? Both are good, im waiting for a developer to come up with a sports ticker, like they have to check the stocks. That would rock !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaknell1011:
I have not tried Sportsnut, I have used pocket express before with my Mogul. It got a little annoying at the lack of a finger friendly interface past the home screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaknell1011:
Now that you mention a sports ticker I started thinking how awesome it would be to have a TouchFlo 3d Tab for flipping through sports scores! Anyone know how to make this happen?

Hello

My Touch HD can't read microSD cards anymore. One day I noticed that Storage card is missing from File Explorer. I put that card (an 8 Gb SanDisk SDHC) into my laptop's card reader and all I found out is that the card has bad sectors that cannot be recovered. So I bought another 8 Gb microSD which works OK with my card reader and my Polaris but the HD doesn't read it. When I connect the HD to my laptop I get the USB2PC popup where I have de Disk Drive option and if I select it nothing happends. What could be wrong?

ROM: 1.56.479.0

Radio: 1.13.25.24

SPL: 1.54 SSPL

Nope... still nothing...
[Touch HD General] bigdish:
Ok check the pc to usb.

Check on the HD Start/Settings/Connections/USB to PC

UNCHECK Enable faster data sync

Boot your pc and HD then try the USB connection again.

[Touch HD General] istoica:
I already did that and nothing happened...
[Touch HD General] bigdish:
Ok can you connect with Activesync to the Hd storage ?
[Touch HD General] istoica:
@bigdish

I can connect ActiveSync to the internal storage only. The computer cannot read the microSD card unless i plug it in the card reader via an adapter. Nor the disk utility tools can't read the card through the usb cable connection, no mather which type of connection I choose in the USB2PC popup.
[Touch HD General] bigdish:
Mmm

My problem was different to yours - I cound see the card in the HD but the file info was garbage - my pc cardreader could not read it so thats why I suggested flash format which cured my problem.

Have you tried soft reset on the HD without the card then insert it again ?
[Touch HD General] istoica:
@bigdish

Even hard-reset it with the card taken out. I cannot understand what the problem might me and I am thinking about sending it to service. I am starting to think that this ain't a software problem :(

Hi !

Does anyone know if it is possible to use libusb-win32 under windows mobile ?

I want to be able to use one usb game controller with the HD2 but I don't know where to start since I don't know if I can use libusb directly (I don't have the know how to use low level comunication).

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Kev007:
the hd2 doesnt have native usb host support, however i saw a usb host replicator program a while back for other devices.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sephiroth_vg:
if it doesnt have USB OTG the only thing u can use is Zenos USB host Drivers + a Custom power injecter for the USB... Works on any windows mobile :|
[Windows Mobile Software Development] AMcho:
I found these videos that show USB host being used. They are not very good. There is no sound so there is no description as to exactly how this was accomplished or what equipment is being used. Follow this link....

(would not let me post link since I am a new user, but I searched google for "HTC HD2 Supports USB-host" and it is at the htcphones.net site)

If anyone figures this out would you please post step by step directions for the tech unsaavy, like me. It looks like there must be an external power source for the keyboard. I'd love to do this, too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aZzz.bZzz:
i see specs: 1700/2100, and it is 2100 band in europe

can anyone prove 3g works well in europe?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Madcypher:
Diff spectrum

From what I understand the 2100 frequency band in Europe is different than the one in the US. Typically 3G needs both freqs (1700 & 2100) to work properly.

So I don't think you'll get 3G in Europe from a TMo US TP2. Just my take.

Cyph
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] radiowc:
I second that, in TMO US3G u need 1700/2100 to work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rorytmeadows:
I actually heard that it did work just fine over there, with an international phone (such as the TP2), but just keep in mind, I've heard stories of people leaving on their data connection and coming back to the US with a bill at about $2,000.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
So are we all just going to assume that the original poster is referring to TMobile US ?

I mean, his location is not US and TMobile is a German company that has interests all over the world.

This board may have the rule that you should post in English but there is a world (most of it in fact) outside the USA you know.

Or do you, it's questionable
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rorytmeadows:
Actually, his profile says he's from Kazikstan
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
He's quoting specs for T-MoUSA 3G bands 1700/2100 --

only

T-Mo USA runs 3G on that pair of bands. What else can we assume other than T-Mo USA???

Obviously that assumtion has absolutely nothing to do with the language he's post in since everyone from China to Chile post in English here.

Assume you knew that...or do you?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
I'm not criticizing the language posts are made in. Of course English is the world language (although Spanish is the language spoken by the largest number of countries).

I am criticizing the fact that it only seems to be posters from the US who will fail to mention which country their mobile network is from. Especially TMobile users since that company has interests in a number of countries under the same name. And then the people who reply all assume that they're talking about the US.

I mean, someone from Germany would have mentioned that they're on TMobile Germany, for instance

Seems a rather inwards looking attitude when this is an international board. A quick look on the Google machine will show that US mobile networks don't make up a very large percentage of the total world usage
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aZzz.bZzz:
yeah, guys, im speaking about tmous tp2

since 3g in kazakhstan is planning to start working by 2nd Q 2010, im asking about the ability of its usage on my device.

and yes, ive heard about 2100 band is only for download, and 1700 is necessary anyway. so, im asking to ensure its true. and it will be very pity if it is.

i guess youre talking about cdma tp2 (vzw and sprint) which are quad band 3g

anyone here from europe using TMOUS TP2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] b3kturk:
I am in Turkey and 3G works fine for me on my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 :) maybe this information will work for u :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
No, you're wrong -- most posters don't explicitly mention in their post where they're located (including you). Many people already have it included in the info in the upper right of the post --

including me

. And yet you say that that USA posters don't indicate where they're located. Is there a piece of dirt or food on your monitor covering the spot where my location says "Bend, Oregon" and the USA flag is showing???

Seems like it would be best if personal-political attitudes could be kept out of this nice forum. You know...there are forums about politics where you might be able to contribute.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nandos:
Yes, 3G works in Germany and EU

To answer your question, YES, 3G works here in Germany. When I got my TMoUS TP2 shipped to me in September, I put my DE T-Mobile SIM in it, and it worked out-of-the-box, no SIM unlock needed. I live near Mainz and travel to Frankfurt, and get 3G connections all the time.

Hopefully this helps answer your question.

Cheers!

Lando
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aZzz.bZzz:
thank you guys, that was what i wanted to hear:)

germany and turkey are using euro 3g bands, so it will work in kazakhstan as well
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
I have no idea how you have managed to drag politics into this. I have said what I think is a problem and how it might be improved. I have not given my details here because they're not important here. I get a local network sim whenever I land and so my questions aren't necessarily all based around a single country or network.

Are people from Bend referred as "Benders"? lol

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tulamidan:
Hola

I don't have any other Androids around me so I never felt that my G1 is actually pretty slow compared to the hero I had a fiddle with yesterday (animation speed and felt response time of programs).

Is there anything wrong with my configuration? (I'm using a stock CM 3.7.1 with swapper, no swap partition though)

I'm a frequent reader here but it is hard to keep track of all the tweaks and tricks some people do... so here my question in a nutshell: Can a G1 be as fast as a hero?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nephron:
Yes there are a couple of things u can do

1. Apps2sd

2. Swap partition with swapper

3. Compcache

4. Zipaline

5. 10mb Hack (adds 10 mb to internal memory)

Thats all i can think of right now :D

[HD2 General] onisuk:
today a friend of mine bought his new Htc hero into work and showed me all the brilliant FREE apps available on his android (google) based phone ..... and dont even get me started on the 90,000 odd iphone apps available to iphone users. so i went off and looked on the M$ marketplace on my HD2 .......what did i find ...bugger all:mad: and they even have the cheek to charge £6 odd for crappy old games like pacman !!!!!!!!!!! :eek:
[HD2 General] maati:
Errr... yeah, where shall I start?

Okay, first of all: There are currently about 30,000 applications for WM available. That's twice as many as you find for Android.

I also estimate that 80% of all apps available for the iPhone are useless. If only 33% of the WM apps are useless, that means you get the same amount of useful applications for WM as you get for the iPhone.

Secondly: Marketplace has opened only two months ago. Sure, there should be more applications in there, considering the 30,000 applications that are available for WM outside the Marketplace. But other application stores have opened with even less apps available.

Nothing stops you from getting your applications from other sources, outside the Marketplace. There are also lots of FREE apps available for Windows Mobile, just look at what people are doind in this forum.

In fact, it's an advantage for us that Microsoft doesn't limit distribution of applications to their marketplace like Apple and Google do. This way, we and the developers have more freedom and applications are not banned (like Google Voice for the iPhone, to name one famous example - but there are hundreds).

So, in this sense, Microsoft is BETTER than Apple and Google.

EDIT: Please change your thread title to something useful (i.e. one should see from the title what the thread is about).
[HD2 General] Isadora:
Who cares about Marketplace? As maati said, there's plenty of other places to get applications from.
[HD2 General] onisuk:
i just think m$ are missing out on making their platform content rich.... i know most of the apps are useless but some are fun and the games are good....i was only stating a simple observation. everyone on the forum seems so darn serious !!! :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] maati:
And I gave you the actual reason for your observation ;)

I also had hoped for more apps available from the beginning, but the number will grow for sure. I don't think that Android had 800 applications after only two months, did it?

And you don't have to rely on Marketplace, so there's nothing wrong...

...okay, there is something wrong, but that's another story: The 800 apps are only in the US, every country gets its own Marketplace and that's really a stupid thing. Well, let's hope they fix that - if you want to have a look at the US American Marketplace, then there's a 'hack' for you - just search the forum for it.
[HD2 General] the-equinoxe:
Thread closed: OP is uninformed.

Windows Mobile exist for a decade, plenty of apps available outside the brand new marketplace.

The marketplace still has several issues, non the least the protection scheme issue. (which allows a cracker to crack ALL programs in one go with a small bit of universal code)

This is why some developers are hesitant to publish on the marketplace.

[HD2 General] halflost:
Hello,

I understand people complain about the battery and search around here for issues regarding it and find many.

But mine seems to be shockingly bad. I have HSDPA on, weather, stock updates every 4 hours, twitter every hour, and tend to use Palringo on constantly (maybe this is the issue?). With about 2 hours of FM Radio, maybe an hour of music... the phones battery only lasts for about 7 hours which is not great.

Is this about right for the phone? Or is this shockingly bad compared to others? Its hard to quantify from searching about what the "par" for this device really is.
[HD2 General] maati:
This is not much, but not shockingly bad. Have you enabled the power saving mode in Palringo?

(I actually don't know what it does, but there is one :))
[HD2 General] daleski75:
Palringo and beejive on my HD2 sucked the battery like a over active dyson vacuum cleaner!

Nimbuzz seems to be better for battery life but not perfect.

On sunday I managed to kill my battery <5 hours so 7 hours is better than what I get sometimes
[HD2 General] masi0:
another post. geeee

i had asus p750 which battery last for a day or so with minimal usage

i had se w910i while only on 2-3h of phone calls i had to charge the battery every 36 hours

i had an iphone 3g which i had to charge every 2 days with very gentle using

a friend of mine is using htc mda something with the hardware keyboard and has to charge the phone every day

anyway - i can charge my hd2 every night if necessary - it is a very good phone anyway :)
[HD2 General] halflost:
That might explain it then :)

I can appreciate that hammering the data connection or whatever Palringo does will not do the battery much good sadly. anyone else use Palringo and get better battery life?

I have the power / data saving mode enabled, although as you said, quite what that does I dont know :)

Thanks for the replies....
[HD2 General] OneGoodKnock:
My HD2 is significantly better than my T-Mobile G1 I had previously - that phone definitely needed charging every day and I hardly used it really. I get a good 2-3 days with light usage from the HD2.
[HD2 General] ahaaee:
I had the same poor batter life before when I first had it. But last couple of days I finally realized that it's the 3G data connection sucking the battery life like nothing. No I only enable data connection whenever there's no wifi for me. But I keep the WiFi on constantly with push mail. The battery life lasts almost about 2 days. So I'm more than satisfied with it now. The iphone/ipod touch needs to be charged every single day mind you. So my advice is to avoid data connection whenever possible since wifi doesn't really suck much battery juice it seems.
[HD2 General] danielherrero:
Hi

In my case using palringo the battery drain is 8 % per hour. Without palringo running is 4% so double battery life. I ve repeated the test many times with same result...
[HD2 General] halflost:
Thanks mate, this is exactly what I was hoping to get confirmed. I'm seeing something similar, I guess short of not using Palringo there isnt much to do. I do have a charger on my desk at work, so I'll just plug it in.

Interesting I did see that with it plugged in charging and turned on (set to Disk Drive mode) at work the charge barely increased 1% over a period of an hour or so. (I did check that the option to not charge when connected was not ticked). So it wasnt that, just caught me by surprise as it seems it barely charged.

i've got tomtom 7 installed on my HD2 but the keyboard is extremely small. any idea how to fix that? changing in to large in preferences doesn't make any difference, it's about the size of the status bar on the bottom. the same version of tomtom on my i-mate 9502 works fine. any ideas? thanks.
