Swiping from bottom to top works quite well. :good:
What bro?
CLICK THANKS IF YOU HELPED

And whats better?
I just find it easier to swipe thumb from bottom to top is all. Rather than the depicted top to bottom, just a better hit rate..

Nice tip. Gonna try it out.
Starting from the home button and going upwards? Just doesn't work for me.
Haha can't say I've tried it! I'll give it a go one day.

Why would you want to do that? It's not like doing it the normal way doesn't work. For me, it works almost always, first time.

Let me get this straight. It's unnatural and it doesn't "fix" anything, so how is it a good tip? Just asking.

It would be nice, my trackball won't work sometimes idk why either.
or at least a different way of scrolling and selecting will be nice
I'd love to see an alternate method as well. My trackball sucks eggs in recovery

if your device is plugged into usb/wall charger while in recovery it may throw things off, my screen starts selecting things on its own and in recovery will auto scroll down and up because of it. just a suggestion but try while unplugged.

i was just getting ready to ask amon if he could update the recovery with an alternate method of selecting
my track ball is completely dead
refurb coming tomorrow cause of this
My trackball has been acting weird, it doesn't even feel right. I have to exert much more pressure for it to be responsive. Scrolling with volume buttons and select with send button maybe? Touch support would be nice too, but I'm not as advanced as the devs so it may be complicated

I was exiting an app and the bar moves to the left of the screen. I had to power down the up again to get it back normal. It also caused my icons and folders to be smaller.

Yup a couple of times actually. I had it happen when I was hitting the back arrow and tilting it at the same time.
Which is funny considering i don't recall MotoBlur actually making use of landscape view.

It doesn't, but it does glitch out sometimes. Think of it as Androids BSD...
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.

Watch the Netformer thread.
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.

Thanks, im on that branch. Didnt notice the update yesterday.
Hey so while fiddling around with my Note 2 today I discovered a new feature that I have never seen in any videos or in any thread so I figured I must not be the only one who didn't know.
This is an alternative to the current back and menu gestures which are shaped like this < and ^.
1) Go back gesture: On the bottom right side of the screen flush to the edge, simply swipe down while holding the S-Pen button, this will trigger the back button soft key.
2) Menu gesture: Similarly, just swipe with the S-Pen pressed on the bottom left side of the screen.
Although this is ultimately the same as the other gestures, I find this one MUCH easier to get used to rather than the awkward backwards arrow. Hope you enjoy this tip :highfive:

Wow, actually it does work.
Great tip, thank you!
Much easier indeed compared with the arrows.
For those who can't find the trick. The line should be around one quarter of the screen height and should be finished on the bottom on the screen.

Even works from the middle for me, as long as you're in the lower half of the screen when starting. But quarter works fine as well

HOME BUTTON: Make a "less than" sign anywhere on the screen
Quick Command: Make a 1inch line going UP anywhere on the screen
Menu: It's also works if you make a carrot sign, which is this: ^
EDIT: Nevermind, the less than sign is also a back button......
Cool! I was a little disappointed with those gestures, but now everything is so simpler! Thanks a lot!

Yes I have it set to 50 percent but it's not transparent. The wierd thing is when you slide over to Google Now it goes transparent but when you go back to the home screen it becomes solid again.
