Wow...this is amazing. Like seriously, this is awesome! Why would Sony disable this feature?
I kinda wish it worked with my Wacom pen though..I feel like metal would scratch up my screen protector.

I update my app's toggle method, it uses "cat /sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/pen" now.

I recommend changing one value in /system/usr/idc/clearpad_pen.idc for more sensitivity.
With default settings, it made broken lines (due to screen not rsponed to touch) when I write something but 0.1 is fine for me.

How to make this work?
I have download your file and put in to system/etc/init.d but not work??
I have been testing this for a few hours and I found I'm having problems with touchscreen sensitivity.
When I disabled this, everything went back to normal...
Someone could check that and maybe he'll find solution for touchscreen problems on Z1 (someone reported they have problems with sensitivity).

Waiting for gloves Mode Port

Already ported for example in iHackers ROM.
Is it really working?
Showing glove mode setting and ring are easy, but I couldn't manage to use with glove.
is it just me or does the mod make the screen over-sensitive so i get an input by holding the phone in the hand (only touching the metalframe of the phone)

108AOKP introduced pen mode for Z1 and I could enable it on stock ROM!
Xperia Z Ultra can use the pen or pencil made of wood or metal as stylus, but Z1's screen also supports it and Sony disabled it for some reason.
root is needed to enable this.
To enable pen mode, there's three methods.
One of them is enough.
● Create init.d script in /system/etc/init.d (requires init.d support):
● Add these lines at the bottom of /system/etc/hw_config.sh:Code:#!/system/bin/sh chown system:system /sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/pen echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/pen
● Use toggle appCode:chown system:system /sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/pen echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/pen
I created pen mode enable/disable toggle app with Tasker.

Now you can use anything made of wood, metal or rubber.
I couldn't use a plastic pen, though...
I recommend changing one value in /system/usr/idc/clearpad_pen.idc for more accuracy.

toCode:# Pressure touch.pressure.scale = 0.2
works for me.Code:# Pressure touch.pressure.scale = 0.1
In /sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/,
there is "grove" but I could only show circle with pen and I couldn't use with glove.

Thanks championswimmer for finding this.7
clearpad folder looks like this:
Please try my toggle app, this will change pen's 0 to 1.
http://d-h.st/5az7And I get no credit for finding it, and adding it to XperiaSettings app first :crying: :crying:
Haha. Just kidding.
Nice to see someone wrote up all the instructions and got the tasker app for stock too.
I was about to open a thread to mention this can be done on stock too, but I had work and forgot about it. Thank you for posting this.
