GREAT NEWS !!! - touchscreen fully fixed by OliWe - Touch HD General

HI, i want to inform you that my friend OliWe fixed:
.) FIXED: touchscreen calibration (don't forget to remove the old ts_calibrate file from sdcard.
.) FIXED: touchscreen wrong pointer input (2-3cm jumps)
the hole touch screen problem.
.) ADDED: LONG PRESS of hardware key
now you can (ex) use long press of red button and then you can switch off the phone - this is woring also)
for installation:
===========
please download the latest kernel htc-msm-linux @ 20100819_200730 or newer.
latest kernle downloading on: http://glemsom.users.anapnea.net/android2/htc-msm-linux
Install new kernel:
1.) download kernel + extract the .tar.bz2.
then you'll find a module....tar.gz + zImage...
the zImage.... you must rename to zImage and
both files you must copy tho your SDCard. direct to sdcard ("Storage Card").
ALL HONOR GOES TO OliWe

I can confirm this, just tried it out.
I can type just fine on the keyboard now as opposed to before when it was a nightmare!
Thanks, GREAT job!!

Just perfect
Two big problems killed in the same time! Really great job, Oliwe !!!
Thanks +1

seems to be working for me too. The whole typing experience is now like windows mobile - Great! Thanks!

exactly a great news, many thanks for the hard work...

its amazing

tested
Tested and it works =]
Keep up the good work devs. Sad about the battery and hope there is a fix for this but otherwise loving what you guys are doing and achieving.

Hey, its fixed. And it works. Thats really good news. Thank you very very much.

Hey Guys,
It's nice to see, that my patches are working for all of you
The last patch filters about 99% of all jumps. Small jumps (a few pixels) are still possible, but they are very rare and you won't even notice them.
Have fun playing with android
Thank you @camro for the intensive testing

Sorry, but I just test it with Android 2.1 on my Blackstone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621498&
And this is not working well, the touch calibration is completely out
What are your options on your startup.txt about touch calib' ?
EDIT: Yeah it is working ! I can check my notification with a shield xD
We have to
- delete the old ts_calibrate file from sdcard
AND
- remove the msmts_calib from the startup.txt (usually msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 on blackstone)
And I can switch off Android

It looks like you didn't calibrate your touchscreen on first boot. Delete the ts-calibration file from your sd-card and boot into android. It will ask you to calibrate the touchscreen (you have to click on 5 white boxes, you should use the stylus for this).
The calibration in startup.txt is no longer needed. You can delete it

Yes you right.
Sorry I don't see your post before.
Anyway thank you for this patch

wrong post.... sorry

Sorry does not work link.......Pleaseeee add download tanks

Try here - http://balsat.hopto.org/

Tanks very nice..

Is this fix also working for Android 2.2?

Yes I applied this fix to v1.3. Be advised that the TheBrilliantMistake has released a new version (v1.4) that includes this calibration fix plus a few other bits'n'pieces.

woohooo, that's great news, thank you so much for that guys!
Though I don't quite get which button to press to switch off the phone since the top HW btn summons the recent app screen...?

TREMENDO!!!!
works great for me! I have 2.2 froyo, and at last not need the stylus for use the phone! But the power off is not working, freezes while powering off. But i dont care...Im fine, my touchscreen works!!!
Thanks for you hard work!

the screen alignment is done automaticaly by this app... so you dont have to do it manualy
I checked the registry to compare the defaults in the CAB with what I already had.
The CAB had
485,500 785,175 785,825 185,820 188,175
my TP has
485,514 785,835 785,200 193,200 193,835
Now how perfect mine are, I don't know, but I tried to be as perfect as possible. Even tried multiple times until I was happy I hit the center of the cross 5 times in a row.
I installed the .CAB on my Diamond and it inverted the screen taps; everything on the screen appears fine but the tap responses were inverted, I think its a glitch...Just reporting, hope it gets fixed.
I'm not getting how this works... I mean, copied on my Diamond, installed (tried both in Internal Storage and Phone Memory), I get a setup icon in the program menu which, tapped, leads me to another autoalign installation, and so on. Cycle.
What am I missing? Any help? Would really like to try this software and see if it improves my touch experience (not a reference to some mythical UI for WM... ).

Try aligning your screen by hand and mess it up on purpose. Then try it with autoalign and see the difference.
P.S TouchXperience IS NOT some mythical UI! Just watch. It'll be released on Feb 1st.

Didn't really mean to upset anyone! It's just that I'm reading about its features since the beginning of my WM life (Sept. 08) and I'm trying it as soon as it is released to the public. Looks very promising and interesting!
Good idea, will give it a try
Thanks for sharing
This app is just brilliant! Timesaving and incredibly useful, now finger touch is at a new level! Thank you so much, that should be included in any Diamond ROM!
sorry for my supid question, but whats exactly the sense of this app? and why does it save time and give new experiences?
What's wrong with the built in screen alignment? Seems to work okay, what makes this different??
the app is still not final!!! im workin on it as a write this !!!

i've been following the development for a while, is there a link?
*edit* nevermind, spoke too soon! THANKS!
*second edit* just thought i'd point a few things out now that i've tried it (on my AT&T Fuze)
the audio seems a bit sluggish, and pressing the back key cycles through the previous "unloaded, loaded, half cocked" screens. it appears to cycle through every screen since the app was loaded. the only way i've figured out how to exit is by pressing it until the menu is back up.
Please make it compitable with the Omnia aswell.

How? It doesn't on mine. I see graphics (VGA only), but no sound, no sensor trigger, no nothing. I can simply charge and discharge the shotgun with gestures (no sound), and that's all. Also instructions button doesn't work.
EDIT: You have hardcoded "Program Files" inside app, that's why. I have a localized rom, so no "program files". Anyway, also creating the right folder, still no sensor trigger, only gestures. No animations. It's almost worst than the others virtual shotguns floating around. A big disappointment. Uninstalled.
Thanks for the app but not working great on my Diamond.
The 'instructions' button does not seem to work and I can't really tell if the g-sensor is doing anything. It also generates an ever-increasing number of entires in the task list when it is used.
Uninstall seems to work well. Look forward to seeing later versions.
I will fix the many forms problem now and update it....
also... the instructions have not yet been made... they are coming soon...
so please tell me... is the g sensor working on the diamond?

I have still proles with the versuon V2 :How? It doesn't on mine. no sound, no sensor trigger. I can simply charge and discharge the shotgun with my toucg screen (no sound), and that's all. Also instructions button doesn't work. and when you lanch the progamme there is no icon for it. i use a htc duobd now. i hope there is a now versuion soon.
strange how there is no sound.... is your volume up????????????????????????????????????????????
check your program files folder.....
see if the sound files are in there...
yeah, there is no sound file in the cab, i use version V2 on mij diamond, can you make this app better for the diamond ?
in my Diamond, it do have a sound.. i'm currently using uDK's 6.5 rom..
waiting for version 3 with the fix for sensitivity issue and animation..
It doesn't work on my Diamond either... No sounds, no G-sensor, no animations...
I really appreciate the time you spend in developing this application!
Hi !
is it possible to get any screenshot please ?

[TIP] Do you have SOD? Try this then...

Hey there!
For all of you with SoD, please do try my idea... been testing all afternoon, and even though its early to say, I'm sure it is working.
It occurred to me, that maybe windows still had some control over the hard keys while running Android.... so i had the following idea!
Install AE Button Plus 2.6.5.cab (or maybe another version) and UNBIND all hard keys. I guess maybe the End/Lock key will be enough, but i just unbinded all of them as i dont use Windows mobile anyway since i got Android! ahaha . THEN, launch our dear Android the usual way. This way, I can still answer calls and navigate using touch if i do feel like using Windows Mobile for whatever strange reason!
I now use FD Droidboot and disabled sense/titanium on my barebones Miri Rom.
Result: Screen comes up every single time i press the lock key, and goes off every single time i click the same key. Works as it should now. Immediate response too (using a class 2 card)
Brilliant! Me very happy! This was getting annoying.
Also, yeah i confirm, the workaround for the mic gain, using the wired headset, seems to work for me.
Darkstone Desire V5
Radio : 2.12.50.02_2 (does seem better on the battery! Thanks to whoever suggested it! and thanks to all the devs and testers!)
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS! Just thought that I should share this since a lot of people are having the same issue....
Peace and Kudos to everyone and specially to the programmers!

How to disable Lock/End key in Winmo?
Yep, was working all day flawlessly, but towards the end of the day was getting slow and started happening again... even after restarting. Thanks for the help testing this!
Now i notice that after having unbinded all keys, all of them except the End call key, are still unassigned.
Is there a fix or registry key to completely "disarm" the Lock/End key while in Win Mo? I still think this is related to SOD somehow.

[Prob] 27-Aug-2010 zImage cause buttons to not funtion!!

Has anyone else tried the "27-Aug-2010" zImage? I just tried it and it cause all buttons on the phone not to function except the end button.
The git reads
12 hours ago Lukas D. Gorris htcleo: add additional selectable keymapping htc-msm-2.6.32
Something weird !!
I got the same thing goin on also.. no functioning buttons other then the End Key Button..

Same here. Red Close button is the only one working.
Same here.
This is by design, if you look at:
http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/...;hpb=eed82a0f77f367b929f51cc59e6c64a68a06256a
you can see that there are two new defines: HTCLEO_KEYMAP_DPAD and HTCLEO_KEYMAP_ANDROID. This was done to enable dpad control for software that doesnt support pure touchscreen devices. As there are no other changes, I would suggest using the previous image until the default define is KEYMAP_ANDROID.
Thanks for suggestion... the new zImage didnt worked for me as well
Works ok here with all modules installed on mattc 1.6b radio 2.12, but phones turns off unexpected don't know if that related or my battery has died due to abuse.
the 27 version its very unstable for me =)
buttons work now, but this build constately freeze and processor have hot

[TIPS] Improve Screen Sensitivity Of Your WinMo (.cab) UPDATE 25/4/11

Hi,
I have found tips over the forums on how to improve the screen sensitivity of your WinMo resistive touchscreen
1) When calibrating your screen, tap the cursor hairs as accurately and as lightly as possible. I use a toothpick for this, it has a fine tip. You will notice immediately how much more responsive your screen is!
2) Another method I found was:
a) Install Attached .cab / Reg Tweak
b) Soft Reset
c) Be Amazed at your Screen Sensitivity!
This is a little .cab file / reg tweak created by kevinpwhite (all credits to him)
EDIT: Many people in the thread have said that it has calibrated their screen wrong and they can't navigate it (cab/reg) This has resulted in a hard reset to get the touchscreen back(due to different touchscreen resolutions etc) I will investigate more into this and create a new version, if possible. Please use it at your own risk, and be sure to create a backup of your device.
Originally by Reix2x
Hi, dudes, my HTC WIZARD gets "untouchable" after this installation, but i found the way to solve it! =D
1- Download: CeRegEdit (u can found it on Google, with this u can explore your mobile reg trough your PC)
2- Open it (with your cell phone connected in ActiveSync)
3- Go to Tools, and select "Unlock registry" (your registry will be "Editable")
4- Navigate to:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH] and change this values to your defaults:
"CalibrationData" and "MaxCalError" (you have to found the values for your phone, here in XDA i foud the values for my phone)
5- Softreset
I hope to help someone, and i hope than no one had to make an horrible hardreset

This was created specifically for the TG01, but i think that the WinMo stored values are the same across all devices. It simply changes a reg key to increase the screen pressure to the max.
Please give me feedback if it works for you!
Please hit the THANKS BUTTON if you like this!
well, this just ****ed over my omnia, and i can't access it from my computer as i dont have a connect cable. any tips on how to bring it back to normal without hard reset?

i've tested in my O2 LIFE WM6, at the first time i got trouble, i couldnt tap my screen well. when i tapped all screen, it connected to bottom right screen.
i used my navigation button to reach the SETTING-SYSTEM-SCREEN-ALIGN SCREEN.
the align screen works. then i used a srynge to calibrate it (dont try this at home), the final result is........
WORKS GREAT LIKE A CHARM!!
my screen becomes more sensitive! I dont need my stylus anymore, with resco keybord typing is so much fun.
THANK YOU..

this sets your screen sensitivity to the maximum allowed pressure point. So your resisitive touch screen will require a light touch to register changes.
This is what loads of people complain about? Poor screen sensitivity? So try this out!!

thabks for the feedbakc! glad it works!
I always thought that this couldn't really be done. Tried many before and didn't see a difference. Then again I can't help myself so I will try this out too.
why didn't you come up with this earlier? i wasted two years using my htc jade with this insensitivity, finally a solution
thank you so much
Okay, I will try it now, but we need to know if there are a way to uninstall it safely in case if anything wrong happen like that one who had the Omnia, also you should type if we have to recalibrate the screen points after installing the tweak on all devices or what.
Thanks in advance.
tried it on my hTC Gene (P3400) running 6.5.5 and i got the same problem mentioned in post #5...dead unresponsive screen with a few taps being wrongly located towards the bottom right of the screen...so had to go into the screen setting via my D-pad and re-align the screen to enable it again
i think problem has something to do with the screen resolution (mine is qvga)
faced similar issues when trying a screen sensitivity improvement hack meant for wvga screens i found somewhere within the forums...
anyways nice job...its great to see some people still trying to make an effort to keep WinMo going!! keep up the good work!!

first try method one of calibrating your screen on your own
if you try method two of installing the cab thenall you have to do is run the cab file and soft-reset your device
if its worked, and we hope it does, then that should be it, you should have a screen which is more responsive
if you get a frozen screen just navigate to settings/system/screen and align your screen again to get it to work using the direction keys if you have them or by any other means
or hard reset to undo the settings
i'm just sharing whatever info i have...do tell me if i've left anything out
