Screen Sensitivity - Drag vs. Tap

---

Is there anyway to tweak the touchscreen sensitivity? In other words, a lot of the time the Nook is interpreting a tap as a drag. When I tap an app on the home screen to launch it, the screen moves and bounces back as if I tried to swipe to another home screen.

I would like to set the minimum distance for a drag/swipe to greater than it is now.

Have not see a way to adjust the sensitivity ... that being said, many have reported the screen sensitivity is greatly affected by 'residue' on the screen (i.e. skin oils, moisture, etc) and have seen lots of benefit from a screen protector .. this has helped lots for me but especially the edge areas of the screen remain darn sensitive.

There is an adb method on the dev wiki that helped me a bit. I haven't figured out copy/paste on this thing yet, but a google search for "nook devs recalibrate screen" should get you there.

I don't think this will work on setting a minimum movement like you mentioned, but there is a howto on nookdevs about tweaking the touchscreen sensitivity.

Hope that helps!
