Help needed - how to extract the touch screen driver ! - Legend General

hey guys i really need to extract the touch screen driver from the HTC legend can somebody tell me where it is exactly located need it for experimenting purposes to enable Dual Touch support for the SE Xperia X8 phone as it has the SAME Digitizer the T1021A from synpatics , help is need urgently thanks in advance and good luck for all.....

It's part of monolythic kernel thus can not be extracted.

Can individual stock apps be removed from a rom zip before flashing it, things like HTC's friend stream, news and weather, quickoffice, things that I don't need and would be happy to gain a bit more space by not having them.

lol WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THIS VERY SPECIFIC THREAD

Hey,skyboyextreme, I created a thread too yesterday for XDA App mobile. Go and see in my threads. You will see that fifo171( not sure of the nickname) has given a really interesting answer. URGENTLY Go and See Please !!!!!!!
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

yes.it is the part of the keneral

thanks for all the replies

now we have cracked bootloader in our single touch xperia x8 so can some one point me directly which files are the touch screen driver in the legends kernel because our phones have the same exact digitizer !
so thinking maybe if i replace the touch screen driver in our kernel with the touch screen driver files of the legends kernel maybe we get to taste the legend's multitouch on our phones , thanks

Nice, u have my regards
If HTC legend and nokia n8 have the same chip'n'stuff there must be a way to make it happen on our x8.

DREAMS of a better Polaris.

Polaris has potential, I know!
This is my first thread so don't go rough on me.
All this is about an idea, about a dream, about the future.
I wish there could be something we could all do to save our little Polaris's lives from the trash bin.
Wouldn't it be nice!?!
I suggest 5 things!
And i would need some hardcore programmers to be working on this..
Yes, for crying out loud, I am calling for Bepe, Olipro, Vivi, Udk, Pawel062, cmonex, misar, faria, tadzio, pof.. There are a lot of you guys. And really as far as I know you know what you are doing!
I am using Bepe's rom at the moment.. (bepe an update maybe?)
SO!!!!
YEA!!!
THE FOUR MAGICAL THINGS WE ALL NEED:
PROPER Graphics support - Coming in june with the Diamond i suppose.
Or if you are smart enough see how it
works in core player 1.2.4 and take it out.
PROPER Eased up system - I mean roms with all tweaks and tricks
+ make them empty, like totally empty!
PROPER List of applications - To show everything that is available for the
TC, Also more settings availability (up until
how big the application icons must be)
PROPER OVERCLOCK - What no one thought about this one?!?
PROPER Launcher - I have got one in mind, I can try to do it in
flash version, yet i'll need you guys to
program it for pocket PCs out there.
MAYBE THIS THREAD IS NEVER TO BE DISCOVERED
YET I BELIEVE THERE ARE LOADS OF OTHERS WHO
WANT TO START THE SAME THREAD!!!
Drivers+Easy System+Overclock= KILLING COOL EXPERIENCE
All the software choice, will help you decide what you really
want from the device.
I've got ideas.
I need help.
Post me a personal message to get my skype and other stuff.
Update: Changed the fonts.. not so big now..
Lot's of big fonts and requests from someone who doesn't appear to understand much about why his some of these requests can't be fulfilled.
Out of interest tcfanboy, how much cash are you willing to gift to people you've mentioned to do all this work for you?
I am not planning to sell this product, so there is no cash in this for me.
I am just saying i can contribute, i wish others could too..
I just like to have my device working, don't you?
don't be a pessimist.
I'm just tying to help.
If you don't like it, you can ignore it.
Big fonts are there to stand out. But yea i guess they are too big.
I know nothing about programming on a device such as a pocket pocket pc.
But i can program in pascal, delfi, and i am currently getting hold of c++..
I am not a lamer if that's what you are saying. I just need guidance.
Will you be of help?
People here are trying there best taking apart other devices and putting their codes into other. How about a new level?
how about writing the codes ourselves.
Just asking you if there is there a tutorial online? The one every beginner has read.
hey tcfanboy, thanks for the poll, u've got a point here but: u see all this work that the ppc wizes are doing is voluntary and asking them for stuff that they already know abt its not the best idea(my opinion). I'm sure they're doing their best to provide all of us with good roms and various improvements but they're not receiving any help from the company that was supposed to do all this work: HTC !
Anyway, HTC announced that they will release some sort of update in this month or next one for the devices with Q7xxx chips that will provide some sort of fix for the current issues but they didn't specify what exactly will the update do. And its not surprising considering they don't even admit they've got a problem with the video acceleration
I'm definitely looking forward to see your list of requests integrated in a rom and I'm sure sooner or later it will happen. Thanks to every1 working on any improvements!
according to an o2 germany insider at ppc-welt.info, there can not be software driver update, since this is software code on core-level, wich cant be solved by flashing a rom

there will be an update that fixes something that htc is not willing to tell in advance but it optimizes grafik performance

i might be able to contribue with a ultra lite rom. i know i said i would release a new project rom but i want to mess more with a lite rom so will release a full and lite rom tommorow. if u all dont mind me removing almost everything like camera etc.. i can definatly get something really lite made.

acceleration can be turned on and off at any time. acceleration is nothing more than making dlls that turn on the acceleration and use it. manilla aka touchflo 3D is a example of acceleration in use. if u look at the dependencies of manilla then you will know the dlls needed for acceleration.
Manila runs on a quite different device though
The actual hardware could be disabled in the Polaris-generation through some sort of burning certain areas on the chip (some guy wrote about it in here a couple months ago) to physically destroy certain features. But giving effort to find out if that is the case by disassembling other ROMs is surely not the wrong thing to do! I guess I'll wait for some sort of fix or buy an Xperia if that one happens to arrive first

hey Pawel, if u'll integrate in your rom all the fixes and current improvements that vivi, pdaviet and udK have in their roms, it doesn't matter how lite the rom will be because we can always install on it the applications we want.

I don't know much abt wm platform but working in IT gives me a bit of a tech background and I'm learning fast, please correct me if I'm wrong but I think this video acceleration problem on Polaris is not easily achievable even with the dlls from Diamond because they are built for VGA and TC is using QVGA Right?

This is correct. But then again a driver is a driver and the resolution shouldnt play a role. nVidia drivers work for 1920x1200 as well as they do for some 1024x768 output... It could be different though for fixed resolution devices like our mobile devices are. We'll see, we'll see, or we might switch the hardware manufacturer...

Really? It looks like you're making so much promises both in Polaris Project, with the Glass ROM and now here.
thx
I am glad to get some Seniors here. Thx guys. I saw this post of all the htc programs..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344544
Well.. you should add the program list of the programs in the original rom.
Downloadable links and light description of features.
Yea, I am a demandive person! Someone must be.
Btw, there is an excellent company which makes software with understandable interface. Well.. I did not necesserely buy their products.. But the name is Vito. So this is the interface which should be used. If interested in them ask me I'll provide a free link. I am from russia. It's legal here. )))

HTC Diamond interface on Shaddow anyone??

I'm running WM6.1 on my shaddow thanks to ~MY HTC,~ but I love the Daimond interface and I'm hoping I can find it out there somewhere.
i would so donate to one of our talented developers to make/port this over to the shadow... hope someone decides to do it.

I would also be willin to donate!
yeah wouldn't that be great!
I'll try doing it, but I'm almost completely assured that there is no way that will work. Touchscreen phones have something called the Today Screen instead of the Home Screen on the non-touchscreen phones. The two for the most part aren't compatible. It's the same reason why the Sliding Panels haven't been ported to wm6.1 touchscreen phones. You can look up the difference on Microsoft's Windows Mobile site.
I don't think its possible because I read somewhere in a interview the htc diamond has some actual gpu accelerated code in the touchflow 3d home screen so it can't be ported to any earlier version of htc touchscreen phones (aka htc touch) let alone a slow non-touchscreen phone.
yea that makes since, it's fun to play pretend though. Hey thanks for the info nd, and thank you again ND4SPD for the rom(s) you put out. ..outstanding work.

[Q] Yota - max 4g

Ok so iv'e been wondering.
I like YOTA and i myself use the dialer and the contacts. What i wanna know is does anyone know if the max 4g's ROM can be used on the HD?
I mean its basicly the same phone right? and if someone could get a ROM then surely it could be modified to run on the HD? i.e putting whats makes the HD into the ROM and keeping everything else that i personally think is better (whole theme and layout and so on) onto the HD?
Ive been reading about getting the xperia camera working on the HD and other transfer stuff.
Plus people got YOTA contacts working in the first place so surely its possible?

Yes it is possible. Other devices such as the Raphael have used this ROM as a base build. I have not seen one made for the HD yet. The problem with the ROMs from Yota is that they are all in Russian.
ahh right I see so would it not be as simple as fine tooth combing and changing it to english or whatever language?
I only ask as I like the way the 4g looks but nevermind

From what I have read a varaion of the HTC 4G Max will be going to Teltra in Australia. If that happens, I'm pretty sure we will have a WWE version.
Well i look forward to that day, should be an intresting one..
Thanks for the info anyways

Help about Dual Touch

hi
i have a little problem about gesture module
first i have Xgins v3
i installed the module and it's not working
here's what i did
1. copy/paste x8gesture.ko to system/lib/modules
2. added the command to hw_config.sh in system/etc
3. installed multitouch visualizer 2
and it works only one finger
should i change something in settings or anything else ? i saw the videos on youtube and they had no problem i did the same thing as they did so what's wrong ?
thnx for any help
EDIT : i even installed froyobread v006 and it's not working in there, multitouch visualizer 2 only show me one finger

Hey, really this reply should be done by one of teh Dev.s but, since I had problems myself, allow me to reply for now.
First, one of the things that is not written here, in all these post, should be a warning: the Fake Dual - Touch or pinch-to-zoom, or any name used is not working on any Cypress cip device. please check Doixanh thread and follow the steps in order to check FIRST OF ALL if you have this or not.
In such case, miracles cannot be done for now, because all ROM's have Doixanh based module ....I am one of the unlucky ones as well.

thanks for answering
i followed every steps and i don't see anything i did everything was said
and i don't get it you mean it might not work for me and work for someone else because of difference in our hardware ?
yes
Yeap so true. Doixanh's link on this issue is the most comprehensive.
He said: for the ones with Cypress chip, nothing can be done at the moment.
My understanding, Sonyericsson decided at a certain point to implement a different chip and changed structure. So you have to see first how you stand.
ahuh i see
thanks for your help
i think sony is just thinking about limiting users not helping them because we had the same problems on other product like playstation series and previous cellphones
wish you guys luck
I think they change the hardware for low costs...
If you´re using XGin 4.0, i would say it was the ROM, because the DT works flawlessly on my X8 in Racht ROMs and XGin 2.0 and 3.0, but in 4.0 it has serious problems...

4 finger touch for X8 or 2?

Industry sources, X8 has 4 finger touch,so far,there is only 2 touch.why?
Just wait, I think somebody will someday create real 4-finger touch for Cypress, those who have Synaptics will never get more than fake dualtouch.
Thank you Cod,X8 is more powerul than other phones!!!

We, the "unlucky" ones with Synaptics, have all the chanches to get real DT. Why? Because the digitizer suports real DT (just check datasheets), it's only a problem of firmware/drivers.

I don't think so,cause the bottleneck of synaptics can't handle real DT is not support hardware,not just firmware or drivers.

Nope it supports dual touch in a way as it is a clearpad 2000 as stated by the official synpatics technical support agent.....
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
It's officialy stated that the Clearpad 2000 suports DT via hardware. The problem is that on some digitizers, it's locked via the firmware. That's why I said is a problem of firmware. The possible solution here is to rewrite the firmware, but I guess a development board is needed for that. Without some official sources by Synaptics about firmware, I can't precisly state how to play with firmwares.
I think 2 finger touch enough, but 4 will be nice

Are you an easily satisfied man? 2 touch should take care of all your daily works,but we play more games at least need 3 finger touch,(such The king of fighters,street fighters)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135965
Availability
The CY8CTMA340-XXX-03 (two-finger support) and CY8CTMA340-XXX-11 (four-finger support) device families are both available today from Cypress. Qualified customers can contact Cypress for more information and to obtain samples.
So everything depends which version of chip is in our X8.
