Notes:

Dualtouch (for synaptics):

• If you want to enable the fake DT by dx (instead of andrej456's which is the default), you have to insert the following line in the /system/etc/hw_config.sh file:
  

  insmod /system/lib/modules/synaptics_i2c_rmi4_dt.ko

• If you want to remove the fake DT altogether, insert the following line in the /system/etc/hw_config.sh file:
  

  insmod /system/lib/modules/synaptics_i2c_rmi4_no_dt.ko
