[Info] Disabling the touchpad tap to click - Eee Pad Transformer General

I have been working on disabling the very annoying touchpad tap to click. The driver for the touchpad is in drivers/input/asusec/elan_i2c_asus.c. Its a built in module so I had to rebuild a kernel. I built a kernel based off of netformers kernel and changed the following lines (added the comments)
if (etd->tap_num == TP_CLICK ){
//input_report_key(dev, BTN_LEFT,1);
//input_sync(dev);
//input_report_key(dev, BTN_LEFT,0);
//input_sync(dev);
etd->tap_num=NO_FINGER_ON_TOUCHPAD;
This worked great, I now have full mouse control and can leave it enabled when I type.

Wow this is going to be very handy. Its extreemly annoying for me to. But would be great if there was some type of on/off switch

I am guessing that you need to be rooted in order for this to be possible?

This would involve flashing a new kernel so you would need to be rooted and have cwm installed.

Could you post a binary diff so we can manually patch? Don't feel like recompiling the whole kernel.
Thanks for your work!

Very cool!!!! Tap to click is freaking annoying to me. I don't know why anyone would want it with a mouse button...
It would be nice to have a way to set this from the front end though... That way it could be included in kernels without me compiling my own version every time someone releases one.

Holy crap, I will gladly paypal someone that comes up with an app to get rid of this stinking touchpad click You have to type like a pansy to keep your wrists from hitting the touchpad. Very annoying! If you can figure out this browser lag when typing, that would be great too!

My pansy typing skills suck so I just diable the thing 99% of the time. It'd be nice to have a way to just turn off the click action. I'd actually prefer if Asus just fixed the sensitivity issue and made it work more like my macbook pro.

Netarchy's next kernel will have the ability to toggle this on and off and I wrote a APK that lets you toggle it.

Works perfectly for me... Or do you mean with this kernel mod?

no I'm using stock not rooted. When i have the dock attached to the tablet and plug the charger into the dock, the touchpad is so sluggish to say the least.

Maybe try rebooting... Has the issue always been there?

Nice, I was hoping he would add that in. Did you make any other change to the driver? With just the above a two finger tap will still click. I am not sure if it is that or something else, but, every now and then I still seem to get an unintended click. Its much better than without the mod, but, not perfect. I need to go through that driver really good, I dont think their timers are working right.

Yep. Netarchy got the two finger click taken care of. There is one more scenario he's got to finish. Apparently if you are pointing and moving the mouse with one finger and leave it on and tap with another... it also clicks... So we have to block that too.
EDIT: You can watch/view the commits on this file https://github.com/netarchy/android...46c722b5/drivers/input/asusec/elan_i2c_asus.c

Thanks, im on that branch. Didnt notice the update yesterday.

[ROM][Updated 04/08/11]De-sensed DAS_BAMF 1.4 Non-Themed[ROM]

This is DAS_BAMF 1.4 non-themed as much as I could get it. I did this for myself but a couple people were interested so with Adrynalyne's blessing I decided to post it up for those that do not like sense. I used Go Launcher EX to replace Rosie(sense launcher) and also included the free Go SMS Pro, and Go Missed Notifications (if you want to use a different launcher you can adb push to /system/app/ or just open the ROM zip with 7zip and remove GO Launcher and replace with Launcher Pro, or ADW, etc)
IF YOU BORK YOUR PHONE, THAT'S ON YOU
Instructions
1. MAKE A BACKUP
2. Wipe data/cache/system/dalvik
2. Download ROM
3. Flash ROM via CWR
4. Download one of Adryn's kernels from ROM Manager (under MrBobrowitz's section) or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014239
5. Flash kernel
6. Be happy
Note: there seems to be a little bug with all 3rd party launchers where if you you hit the phone button and the dialer pops up, the contact list is blank and the smart dial does not work. To remedy this long press phone, select a new application and restart Launcher Pro then add the phone back, you may also have to open up the dialer and try to dial a few numbers and delete them and the contacts should appear. Not really sure why this happens.
Again, I did this for me, so I won't be offering any real support for it, and I seriously doubt Adrynalyne will either so flash at your own risk. I have been running this for a couple days and it has been working very well for me, and I will probably keep running it until something compelling is released, with that said, have fun and flash away.
All credit goes to Adrynalyne and ThatDudeButch and anyone else that had anything to do with Das_BAMF
Download ROM:
http://www.multiupload.com/7SF8YE0XQ3
I forgot to add the GO Launcher Notifications, you can find them on the Android Market or here:

Additional Kernels:
You know where to find them, there's a lot floating around right now...

[HOW-TO] Stop ASUS Keyboard warnings when docking with another IME (root only)

This is good for people who don't need the extra keys on the non-US keyboard or people with US keyboard who doesn't want to see the warning.
What you'll need is Autostarts:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts
1) Buy and install Autostarts
2) Run it and wait for it to load all events
3) In menu change it to Group by Application
4) Under "ASUS Keyboard" disable both IME changed and Docking changed.
I'm pretty sure Docking changed is the event that triggers the warning, as for IME changed disable it at your own risk, it didn't affect me in anyway so I just kept it disabled.
Edit: I forgor to add that you need root for Autostarts to work.

[KEYBOARD] Stock Gingerbread Keyboard without smiley key

That damn smiley key was driving me insane, so I got the Gingerbread keyboard source from AOSP, got it to compile, and got rid of the smiley face button. Other than that, it's identical to the stock Android gingerbread keyboard, so requires 2.3+. Eventually I may figure out how to make it able to be turned on and off, but that would rather defeat the point. Enjoy!
(Note: you have to enable it in the Keyboard settings before you can use it, just like any other keyboard.)
The Eclipse project (source) is available here.
this sounds like a good thing for me because it also became annoying to me.
quick question though because i cant check out the keyboard mod yet, but does it remove the smiley key completely, or does it replace it with an enter key or something?
soon as i get the chance, ill install and see for myself
Nice. I like that it has been replaced with the enter key instead. I find that to be immensely more useful.
I replaced it with the significantly-more-useful return key.

The smiley key doesn't annoy me per se, but the fact that the Enter key was removed does. So now, it is impossible to have any semblance of formatting in your SMS'es.
Will definitely give this a go as soon as possible. This is definitely a must have as far as I am concerned.
Thanks, but i've a problem with your keyboard.
I turned on the vibrate on keyboard settings, but there is no vibration when I push a key.

It's probably because you've packaged up the WVGA keyboard file, and not the qHD version. The Sensation sports a higher res screen.

That would make sense, but I don't see why the same keyboard wouldn't work on all devices. I mean, looking at the code, I see nothing that would prevent scaling. I was never asked for a target screen size to compile for, nor do I see any way to enter it. If someone could explain a way to fix it, I would gladly rerelease a qHD-compatible version.

You should try and work it out that Long Press of the return key let's you select smileys. It's one of my favorite features of Perfect Keyboard. But non the less, good job.

The root process fairly simple adding apps is a bit tough cuz you have to pull them from another device and adb install them to the motoactv.
You also have to do some key remapping to get a menu to work.

You're right...it's a watch/mp3 player that plays Angry Birds. How cool is that?
I could see some potential for using it has an interface for notifications on your tablet or phone.
e.g notification comes in on your phone and you see it on your watch - so you don't even need to pull out your phone.
I'm not sure if it has a vibrator in it, but that could also be an interesting alarm clock!

Couple of tips.
- Don't like the Market spewing new apps on your home screen? Just disable it in the settings.
- The persistant search bar can be disabled in Trebuchet's settings.
- Nova Launcher is an alternate to Trebuchet. I'm using it. It has a couple of useful features, like grid size. You can also disable widgets in the drawer, and get your standard long-press menu back. I highly recommend doing this if you use Beautiful Widgets, as that will spam up your widget drawer. Use AppWidgetPicker 2.0 pushed to /system/app to take care of this.
- Want your 4G toggle? There's a widget for it. It'll show up in the quick panel later.
Unfortunately, the voice actions are not available as of yet. Voice Search can be downloaded from the Market, but the speech-to-text as demonstrated on the GNexus is nowhere to be seen. It's an upstream issue.

I haven't explored VVM yet, but will post when I've got something. EDIT: As of right now, VVM is just plain not happening. I switched to Google Voice, which works well at the moment.
I love it. It doesn't feel like an alpha. The only feature I hate is that the cancel and ok buttons have switched so the cancel button is now on the left side and ok is on the right side. I keep cancelling when I think I'm pressing ok because I'm used to the other way.
Not that I won't get used to it.
I think the whole launch was beautifully executed, the only thing keeping me from staying on CM9 at the moment is that I cant restore the data from my apps.
The soft keyboard is a pain and I can't figure out how to set a static IP for wifi. Battery percentage doesn't work. I like how the LED notifications are fixed and how haptic feedback is back and working way better. The ROM overall is very fast. I backed up all my apps and contacts/SMS with mybackup pro and everything works perfect! Has anybody figured out how to get visual voicemail working?
