[MOD]Multi-touch hack

michael0619 · Jun 21, 2011

More than 5 points is not perfect

,but it can be identified.

use cwm recovery update .zip file
you can also modify the code in the file by youself
File: /system/etc/touchpad/21 and 22 directorys touchpad.cfg file
Code: line 28 change NUMTOUCH=2 to NUMTOUCH=10

Look forward to someone to make it more perfect

nice will test it out
thanks

Very cool!

Cheers!

I used this instead:

Code:

#!/system/bin/sh

busybox mount -o rw,remount /system

cd /system/etc/touchpad/21/
sed 's/\(NUMTOUCH\)[ ]*=[ ]*[0-9]*/\1=10/' touchpad.cfg >temp
mv temp touchpad.cfg
chmod 644 touchpad.cfg

cd /system/etc/touchpad/22/
sed 's/\(NUMTOUCH\)[ ]*=[ ]*[0-9]*/\1=10/' touchpad.cfg >temp
mv temp touchpad.cfg
chmod 644 touchpad.cfg

busybox mount -o ro,remount /system

In this case you need to reboot for the changes to take effect. Tried multitouch tester and multitouch visualiser and I got more than 5 touches showing, only so many fingers can fit on the screen.

C'mon, that's cheating!

Very cool though, thanks for sharing!

Seems like 8 is the limit, even though I set it to 10

Tikerz · Jun 21, 2011

Awesome! Will try now.

How would I edit the file to how you did? Thanks. Or can you post the file?

ksekhar · Jun 21, 2011

awesome, thank you

WiredPirate · Jun 21, 2011

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the .zip!

I edited these files myself and made a mistake, not sure what exactly I did wrong but after reboot I had NO TOUCH at all.
Thanks to the attached .zip I was able to just copy that to my sd via usb then flash in CWM.

I now have 10 touch points.

I've done the same thing. Edited files that I found that had the properties rebooted with no touch at all. Been trying to figure this out for a while. Thanks.

I assume the long-hold multitouch spaz issue is unaffected by this? What happens with all that now?

Are there any side effects from enabling multiple touch points?

Yes, the most important side effect from enabling multi-touch is that you can use more fingers at same time

just joking, but yes almost you get what you pay.

Thanks to motorola, the Atrix (most powerful smartphone in the world bla bla bla bla bla) will die without devs and users, I think moto only care about money and average users.

That was the file, nothing more to it. Create in /data/local/tmp, call it yourmomsunderpants.sh (this is important) make it executable and run it. Simple.

Cheers!

Awesome thx, rebooting now

Dav5049915 · Jun 21, 2011

while it does see 10 fingers, i find it to be glitchy with anything over 4 fingers.

the multitouch tester app goes crazy if i put 5 or more on the screen at once.

rjohnstone · Jun 21, 2011

This is perfect.

Set mine to 4 as I can't see the use for more than that at the moment.

long hold is still the same screen will freeze after 12-14 sec

Thanks for the mod! My God, I was hoping for this for a long time, man. All that's left is that annoying screen freeze nonsense and the phone will be usable in almost all scenarios.
