[GUIDE] Change touchscreen digitizer Synaptics to Cypress

NebRityj · Nov 20, 2011

The Sony Ericsson company made Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 phone with two type touchscreen digitizers. First type have Synaptics chip, and second have Cypress chip.

Stock ROM have drivers only for single touch, but developers made dual touch for both touchscreen digitizers. Touchscreen digitizer with Synaptics chip have a fake dual touch, and with Cypress have a real dual touch.

I changed touchscreen digitizer and created photo guide for you.

My Xperia X8 and new touchscreen with Cypress chip:

Touchscreen with Cypress chip:

Touchscreen with Synaptics chip:

OK! GO!

Remove back cover, battery, SIM and flash card:

Turn off 5 screws (need screwdriver T4 and №000):

Remove back cover:

Remove plate and see two loops and connectors:

Open the locks of connectors and disconnect the loops:

Disunite touchscreen and display:

Install hard buttons and USB cover to new touchscreen and assemblage upside-down.

Check chip in terminal emulator:

Enjoy the real dual touch!

I'm bought it on ebay, but need ask a buyer about type the chip in touchscreen digitizer (Synaptics T1021A or CYC8CTMA)!

It's a stupid question, but the SE 1.6 firmware has drivers for the Cypress digitizer? Or just the Synaptics?

SE made the phone first with 1.6 and Synaptics, so I think there aren't drivers for Cypress.
