[APP][ROOT] Touch screen fixer

[SabrWolf]

So i'm one of those that gets the annoying ghost-touch / no-touch screen issues.. (happens randomly during the day)

still unsure how much of a hardware/software problem it is but i have found a way to mitigate it so it no longer happens as often if at all

THIS WONT fix your multi-touch problems (intersecting X/Y points, swype issues etc) but it does make using my phone much less frustrating.

this app requires root, and works on cm11s/cm12/cm12.1/oxygen (actually any version above 4.0 should be fine)

What this does (internally):

Every time your display is turned ON it executes:

• shell command "cat /sys/class/input/input0/baseline_test"
• a 50ms vibration to notify the command is done

you can also activate the process manually by just opening the app.

the baseline_test command seems to 'calibrate' the screen touch sensitivity, which helps tremendously in my situation.. and maybe yours, its worth a check.

as always, your mileage may vary.. and here's hoping we could get a real fix for this some day soon (software or not..)

this app was made using Tasker with "Tasker App Factory" (look for it on play), (so simple you could do this yourselves).

and should be ultra light on system resources (if it all)

Have fun.

Cool! I'll give it a try. My opo never had touch screen problem on ColorOS, I flashed CM12.1 last week, since then it's been really annoying because of the ghost touches, thanks for the tool!

Did you find the hack yourself?

 

[erikasnoske]

GREAT

This is one of the best things I've ever flashed to my OPO. Thanks alot!

 

[Enea307]

What to flash here? Its an .apk file that asked root permission. Or im wrong??

 

[ianstump]

Can you remove the vibration?

Instantly notice a positive change.

Great work. This will be invaluable to many until officially dealt with.

Umm when you do a "cat", you're not actually running the command, right?

My friend.. if you would have post this just 2 weeks ago.. Maybe I wouldn't sold my OPO...!! I had to do it.. I was really tired of it..

I request a RMA and Onplus approved to send me a new phone.. but I live in Panama City and it wouldn't be easy take it back to US for me.. So I sold it.

If the guy the one I sold the phone ask me about the issue, I will recommend this option..

Now I'm just waiting for my new OPO to be delivered in 3 o 4 days.. I hope won't have the issue..

Best regards

Would you mind sharing the Tasker profile? Or is it simply the shell command and vibration after display on?

 

[Oscar96]

Amazing for me! It solved the problem. Could it be possible to remove the vibration?

 

[Jose.pH]

thx!! resolve my double tap problem! but if is possible remove vibration

Thanks @SabrWolf.
I like this app, but there is a little annoying delay after you unlock the screen and you can act on the screen. That is, the screen does not respond until the vibration ends. As I said before, it is a little annoying. I don't know if it could be "fixed" or it is inherent to the apk.

I would like to remove the vibration too. There could be two versions, one with and another without vibration.

 

[Albieri[SPAM]]

Is helping me very well.
The problem is not fully corrected, but has helped a lot!
Please do not remove the vibration, it is good to know when you can already use the screen after switching it on.

You can easily craft the app yourself. No programming knowledge needed. Just use tasker and tasker app factory

Thanks!!
