[Q] Multi-Touch support on Nook Simple Touch?

---

Ok, I rooted my Nook Simple Touch (Running 1.1) using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1351719

Many things aren't working as expected (e.g. The Android Market doesn't work), but in reading the thread it sounds like that might be a common problem. I do have root access, and can connect via ADB and side-load apps.

I'm looking to do pinch-zoom on PDF documents, but I can't seem to get it to work in Aldiko, and I'm not sure if that's because pinch-zoom isn't supported, or I'm doing something wrong.

There appears to be conflicting information on multi-touch support on the Nook Simple Touch on the forums.

Can anyone clarify whether this support is present, and if so, maybe suggest a good PDF app that enables it?

Well, on version 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 there was no support for multitouch. When we read the announcement for 1.1.0, we saw that multitouch would be enabled, but nobody has seen a trace of that yet.
I talked to some guys in here, and asked for info on where it can be enabled (it is disabled when rooting).

I downloaded a midi controller(an app that shows a bunch of sliders on the screen and communicates its position to a pc) and I noticed I could move a vertical slider and another horizontal one at the same time... but then google maps didnt react to my pinching

I have tried with Multitouch Test ( https://market.android.com/details?i...b3VjaHRlc3QiXQ..) and it looks like the hw is capable of multitouch!
I don't know how to enable it, though

I've tried to enable it by using this http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Enable_MultiTouch
but Multitouch tester only detects one input....
Although if I used two fingers the second registered movement intermittently, jumping from on to another instead of two solid points.

You can try this:

Unpack this file to where adb is (unless you have adb in your path)

Then in cmd:

adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
adb push android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml

A reboot is probably needed

Thanks, going to try it right now.

Well:

include/linux/zforce.h:#define ZF_NUM_FINGER_SUPPORT 2
..
drivers/input/touchscreen/zforce.c:     #define ZF_SETCONFIG_DUALTOUCH 0x00000001

I'd say yes

Then something else is missing

Very likely.
Maybe some kernel flag .. I dunno .. but I'm sure Google can tell you how that chain is supposed to be set up
