I think this isn't 100% correct:

To control the touchscreen parameters, just do a "echo XYYY > /sys/class/touch/switch/set_touchscreen" where X controls which parameter is affected and YYY is the value

if I understand correctly, we must use "echo XXYYY > /sys/class/touch/switch/set_touchscreen"

So the line to type via adb shell are:

cd /sys/class/touch/switch
echo 08000 > set_touchscreen
echo 13008 > set_touchscreen

And for a laungh try: "echo 07006 > set_touchscreen"

This sets the sensitivity to the maximum practical :) you can use the touchscreen without "touch" :D

Interresting finding , thanks !

Will test that one

Thanks again for sharing :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AlexandreT:
Will these settings keep after a reboot?

And also, there are 2 methods described in this thread, are both correct or is just one of them? I used the method described in the first post and it seems to work just fine.

Thanks for the find.

Yes they stay after a reboot

OMG guys! little help here.

i type thihs"echo XYYY > /sys/class/touch/switch/set_touchscreen" on my SGS using a terminal emulator" and the touch screen totally not responding.

Any advice?

========================

update: after a while the screen sensitivity came back. phew!

Dear all,

has anyone tried

==> SGS Touchscreen Booster

that is available for free on the market ?

Seems to do similar tweaks with a comfortable UI

I think I'll give it a try

Also, when I apply

I notice that the screen kind of wobble (especially when holding my finger on a page I'm reading in the browser)

am I the only one ?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exxos77:
You can do "cat set_write" (in the same /sys/... directory) which will trigger a dump of the values in the kernel log. Then you can read that with "dmesg | tail -n 100".

The set_touchscreen_store() function converts the parameter to an unsigned long, so the leading zeroes are insignificant.

No, the settings will be set back to default values after a reboot.

And again, the leading zeroes (e.g. 08000 vs. 8000) are insignificant so both "methods" should work.

This application seems to be a nice GUI to these settings. Thanks to the dev (Get4Apps) for that.

Also, the raw data from the touchscreen controller is wobbly (although much less than on other devices I've used, e.g. iPAQ), and that is precisely the function of the motion filter (parameter 13): to hide this wobbliness. But I've found that it also makes the screen less responsive to light touches, so I've learned to live with a wobbly screen :-)

Maybe some fine-tuning can get both fast and steady response, but I haven't found it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dawabz94:
Hi, thanks for your precisions ... all in all, I feel kind of lost :-D

wobbly screen kills my eyes though, so will avoid it ;-)

just wondering ... I guess when applying settings from SGS Touchscreen Booster it overrides yours right ?

well that's the feeling I have

will be playing with both and try to figure out something ...

thanks again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exxos77:
The settings are internal to the touchscreen controler, so yes, each method ought to overwrite the settings of the other method.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Im thinking samsung may have lowered the touch sensitivity from 2.1 to 2.2 then to 2.2.1 coz I remember when I got the Samsung Wave ( which also uses the SAMOLED ) I was playing around how sensitive it using my pinky finger to try and touch a very small portion of the screen, I usually use the inbox as my test subject and with very minimal contact the screen would respond, same with the SGS when I got it with 2.1 but with 2.2.1 its not the same response with the pinky test but still the very same result in real life usage.

So how do we easily set the touch screen settings back to pre froyo, I miss that kind of sensitivity!

EDIT:

If i wanted the 2.1 sensitivity back, do I just follow your settings?

Maybe you can make a script for this that runs under SGStools ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fgfaria:
Hi guys, I have two questions:

1) How should this work for Galaxy Tab? I've seen that under "class" folder there is no "touch" folder. Instead, there is a "sec" folder under which there is a "ts" folder, should this be the place to look at?

2) Does this procedure require the device to be rooted? Mine is not rooted but I might root it to be able to apply those settings.

Thanks!

how can i use it with cm7?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] splendidtry:
Thanks a lot for the post. I have no idea what OP was talking about and I never would have done it, but an app made it this accessible to me.

And WOW what a difference. It feels like the phone has some new kind of toucchscreen technology. The original 2.2 phone was unresponsive and I hated it. I wonder why they turn it down so low, worse yet not let you set it in an options menu just like brightness, sound, etc

HOWEVER, and other people can confirm this if possible, the program seems to have no effect on the back and menu button sensitivity. I can literally tap my finger into the back button and not have it ever register unless I use a lot more downward force than I want to.

Is there any way to adjust the back and menu button sensitivity too?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Sorry to necro this thread but is there an app that can automatically do this for me, I too noticed the sensitivity loss when updating to 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] slaphead20:
Sgs touchscreen booster on the market :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
I tried that app, does not give the same sensitivity as it was on the SGS1 @ andriod 2.1 probably because the sensitivity limit on that app is upto 10, while we need something lower to have it work close to the SGS1, probably a value of 5 as per OP states.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mirciulikkk:
The default 2.3.4 sensitivity is really okay for me :3

If my HD2 rings and I have it in my throusers (broekzak) then the ringtone mute becourse the touch screen put it off, or the softkeys.

Is it possible to block al the touchscreen and the 4 right buttons ?

So the ring got not to mute and nobody pick the phone op when he come on the touch screen.

If You press the green phone softkey then pick up the phone only.

Hi,

Here is my problem.

I have Xperia x10 mini/ yesterday , but mistake, I installed the firmware of the X10 mini PRO !!!

Now, once I understood the mistake, I want to flash with x10 mini firmware.

In order to flash I need to have FLASHTOOLS and need to press the BACK button - the problem is that since the phone is using now the wrong firmware, the BACK button (needed for the flushing ) doesn’t do anything and thus, I cannot install the correct firmware. I tried pushing all other buttons without any luck.

Any idea how I can overcome this problem ? I can’t use my phone now.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
The flashmode is initialized before any firmware is loaded, so that isn't your problem

It should always work when your phone is turned off, you press the back-button and attach it to your usb-cable, it should enter flashmode.

If you can't turn it off, connect your phone to your pc, press home and power together till the screen goes black, and then press the back-button.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ramimos:
Well,

I managed to turn the phone off ( using the home+power button), then release the two of them, pressing the BACK button and connecting the USB cable .

nothing hapenns till i release the BACK button and then the phone starts to load with the previous problem.

before installing the the wrong firmware, using the BACK button was OK.

any idea?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ramimos:
update

I managed to hold together the HOME+BACK button and then pushed the POWER button and flashed the E10i 2.1.1 A.0.6 firmware!!!!

while doing it, i noticed for a meesage that the phone is not rooted.

upon finishing the flashing, the phone doesnt boot up, i managed to see the green light and thats all.

i also downloaded the S1 tool in order to root the phone but it says that it can not detect the phone....

what should i do now?

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

update #2

phone doesnt boot up.

when i connect the flashtool i get the message "Device connected in flash mode".

how to continue from that point ?

[General Questions and Answers] deadwolfbones:
Hi guys,

I recently installed a third-party head unit in my car in order to get a number of modern features including aux input and bluetooth capability. (The stereo is the JVC XR810.) I also recently purchased a Droid 2, which is actually a casemod using a Droid 1 body with the Droid 2 internals shoved into it. Rooted, running a custom ROM, etc. It's great, I love it.

Everything seems to work great between the phone and the stereo—I can listen to Pandora or MP3s from the phone, and dialing out works properly, even voice dialing. The call audio is piped through the car speakers and I use the head unit's mic to talk. Wonderful.

The only problem is, when I receive a call while the phone is hooked up to the stereo via bluetooth, the call audio comes out of the phone speaker rather than the car speakers. The music that's playing over bluetooth pauses, the call comes up on the phone, but the sound comes out of the phone itself. This has only happened once (I don't get a lot of calls), but it sounded like it was coming out of the earpiece on the front of the phone rather than the speakerphone speaker on the rear of the phone. (I do plan to do some more extensive testing this evening using my gf's phone to call myself.)

I looked through the phone and car menus pretty exhaustively to try and find a setting that would cause this, but I can't seem to locate it.

Can anyone shed some light? :confused:

good lord......I really need to learn to read directions better....

I installed Onyx 4 and it wiped my SD cards, so I reflashed with Odin...but did it to JI6, not JFD

gave me the mounting errors, then took me 2 hours to figure out I had to get into download mode by removing the sd card + Sim + battery, connecting to USB, then Vol + / - and putting in battery...only way I could get in, others weren't working.

All because I was lazy and didn't think it made a difference when he said flash to JFD instead of JI6 and didn't want to download the JFD files

lol, then Odin was freezing, trying to unbrick, had to remove sim/sd card to do it....thank god for the search function on these forums.

Black on white text on epic sucks. You can see jagged edges and color artifacts. I understand that this is AMOLED, but one of the roms did improve that! I don't remember, which rom it was, it is no longer available and syndicate rom font rendering is the same as stock.

There was part of that old rom I used supposed to improve font rendering, I don't remember its name either.

Or am I the only one unhappy with book reading/browsing on this otherwise great device?

I just rooted my HTC Desire using unrEVOked 3.21. Everything was fine. I had superuser permission and so on.

Than i had a sudden reboots. After reboot the N1 gallery crashed. N1 gallery might have cause the reboots. So i remove it and everything is fine till now.

I wanted to load a custom rom. I boot in to bootloader and notice that its s-on.

My question is can I load custom roms with s-on. How come I'm s-on and I have root access. If everything is fine, than what does this s-on do. I'm new at all this, so please bare with me.

Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
S-Off = Full root ( Not really necessary unless you want to write to system and stuff while in Android. you can also change your splash screen if you would like:D)

S-On with root by unrevoked = Flash custom roms, radios, kernels, etc..

S-On is Sercurity On which means that the System files are only Read-Only.

S-Off uses AlphaRev's Hboot as this removes S-On. Its the Only way to get S-Off. I just S-Offed myself yesterday. It was scary at first but i really think its a good thing as you can use Metamorph/NinjaMorph or stuff.

I'd recommend just keep this information and when you get used to clockworkmod recovery then S-Off.

Remember that to get into recovery you must boot into Bootloader then scroll to Recovery with the volume up and down buttons then press the power down.

Oh, and to scroll between the clockworkmod menu, just use the trackpad. I also would not ecommend using Rom Manager as i remember the first time i used it and booted into recovery i was scqred to death as it brought me to a attention thing. I was scared to death. :D

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harvin23:
Thank you so much.. That was really usefull information bro... you mention that my system files are read only with unrEVOked... yday i used root explorer to change some system files... could that be the cause my device rebooted...

another thing i want to know is that i want to install busybox.. do i need s-off to do this... if i ever hard/soft reset will the busybox also be removed...

and i also removed some stock applications... will they also be reinstalled if i reset my HTC desire...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
You dont need S-OFF to install busybox. Dont worry about S-OFF. Most power users dont need it. It's more a liability. :)

Stock apps may be reinstalled with choosing to install a ROM which includes them. Most ROMS have addon files with stock apps. Or you may choose and pick from a ROM Kitchen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
No problem:D Last time when i rooted without S-Off, i tried copying things around the system folders and it never worked. That might and should have been the cause of your reboots. The rest of it has been answered by Droidzone:D

thanks for all the help guys...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Flashing a ROM is not a big deal. If something happens to go wrong, you can always revert to the Nandroid restore. Custom ROMs often come with different Radios. Just install whichever Radio the developer recommends, and it should go smoothly.

At times a ROM may have different Radios for different functions. Like, if you want the phone running faster, use one radio. If you want more battery life, use another and so on.

If you've already rooted, flashing a new ROM wont create any more trouble than you're already in. :) Just dont be that hasty to do S-OFF. It's S-OFF that often leads to softbricks (usually).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
^^ :D

but ussually i dont really do nandroid restore's because i keep lots of Roms for backup in case one does go wrong. Its best to do both:D
