________________ FAQ

1. will it work on kernel X
   It is made to work on stock kernel. It might work on kernels which are close to stock. I will however try to find a way to make it as compatible as possible. I'm going to assume that you can safely try this mod on your kernel (but don't enable set-on-boot) worst case scenario is a reboot.
   
   
2. does this consume battery
   Short answer - Maybe.
   Long answer - this might bring some drain, some users report quite a big battery drain some not, I will address this issue in some time. Check yourself how much an issue it is for you. Also this change from device to device so there is no short answer (look up)
   
   
3. will it break my touchscreen
   Short answer - No
   Long answer - Digitizer is not mechanical so it shouldn't break. The same mod works for more then 2 years on my Galaxy Nexus and it never lost a bit of it's responsiveness
   
   
4. why do I have to pay
   Why did you pay for your phone? You did save a few bucks on the phone which was cheap. Now is your chance to make those savings worthy
   
   
5. if I want to marry you where can I find you?
   Oh... this question meant to go somewhere else ;P And I'm taken.

Just to keep you guys in the the loop - the only thing as of now that's holding me back from releasing the TCv2.0 is the problem with in-call touches in Nexus5 (other devices are unaffected by this but I want to roll out for every device).

I was holding off to write anything in this thread for a long time, but seeing some of you guys getting upset because of this project is sickening.

First of all, this project has had it's bugs since the early days (on previous devices too, not just N5), and it was never going to work properly. I'm sure the majority of those who paid for it are not using it.

Secondly, the " developer" of this app has been acting very rudely towards his "customers", you can read his posts here or on G+ and you will see how disrespectful he can be towards people who actually invested in his project.

Thirdly, this "developer" kicked a lot of people out of the beta project on G+ because "they were not active". If someone paid for the app, imho, they have the right to be part of the beta project, and be able to download the latest apk.

Fourthly, he's not willing to open source the app not because of the reasons he stated (not getting recognition in the past). We all know why.

Fifthly, if i were developing something that eventually didn't end up in a working state, i would offer refunds to people who are asking for it. Not because of the value of the money, but because of principles, if i'm not capable of delivering what i was paid for, then i didn't deserve that money.

To be honest, i bought this app since the nexus 4 days, used it for a couple of days, couldn't get along with battery drain it causes, and just stopped using it. Never asked for refunds, or stated my dissatisfaction with the app. I was also one of the people who did NOT get kicked out of the beta G+ group, even though i never wrote a single post there.

I guess i'm posting this because i want some people to realize that it's for the best that this project dies. I presonally, will not be supporting any future projects by this "developer", mainly because of his childish and unprofessional behaviour. Good luck to him. It's time for this thread to get closed and let it die, just like this project did.

REALTIME MODULE REQUESTS STATS PER KERNEL ____________
Quick info about stats - it shows how much requests I'm getting for each kernel. So even if there is no module for that kernel it will be accounted as request. Also only one request per user per day is accounted. These stats are from last 7 days.

Per-Device stats


Nexus 5


Long story:
When you press download at the module loader prompt I am actually getting info about your kernel. This is added to the stats if haven't requested during last 24 hours.
