He_config is in the system/etc folder (be very careful there, only add those lines at the end and save)

Download toggle app from OP and that should be it (restart device, of course)

All those who are asking about Z. Right now I am not sure, but *maybe* that firmware also supports it. But the whole code for pen support will have to be backported which wont be easy-peasy as it depends on many header files.

yes give us hope and hopefully someone can make it happen!

thanks..
so the step is:

1. i must create manually file name : init.d script in /system/etc/init.d (requires init.d support)
and i must type first code on page one.
2. i go to hw_config then i add 2nd code in below code.
3. i install apk togle.

4. restart.

im i right bro. correct me if i wrong

I'm not sure but I think hw_config and toggle app will be enough.
If you edit hw_config, I don't think you need to add init.d.

Try without init.d and if failed then edit init.d

On my tablet z I couldn't find pen eco or anything about pen, does that mean it's impossible to work with me?

I don't think so. It was originally made for Z Ultra which holds the same board as the Z1 so somebody here guessed that it may also work for the Z1 or somebody could've found this in the phone files. I might be wrong though, but I think that I'm correct.

I found out that after you use pencil or pen the actual touch seems to be registered a bit to the right from the actual tap point. Do you think that it's fixable? That's propably why it doesn't work flawlessy on the edges.

I also noticed that :/ I personally think that since it was meant for Xperia Z Ultra, the screen is not calibrated for using a pen on Z1 screen's. I searched for screen calibration app but I didn't any... Is there any way to calibrate our screen ?

Can you try editing /system/usr/idc/clearpad_pen.idc

# Size (Not tuned yet)
touch.size.scale = 32.69

to

# Size (Not tuned yet)
touch.size.scale = 22.69

or something lower than 32.69?

Settings for glove mode have settings to change X and Y position, but there's no more settings for pen...

# Glove Mode
touch.gloveMode.deflatePressure = 1
pointercontroller.hover1.filename = /system/somc/touch/images/big_hover.png
pointercontroller.hover1.hotSpotX =250
pointercontroller.hover1.hotSpotY =250
pointercontroller.touch1.filename = /system/somc/touch/images/big_touch.png
pointercontroller.touch1.hotSpotX = 250
pointercontroller.touch1.hotSpotY =250

 

[olokos]

I'll do this right now and post back.
I tried to use the glove mode, but it didn't work for me at all. Did it work for you? O_O

Nope, it's pretty similiar. I've even changed that value to 10.69, but it looks like nothing was changed. :/

question regarding mod

Hello everyone, I would like to ask something before buying a z1

Once you enable the pen mod does it also imply that palm rejection is enabled too?

that is is it possible to write with the stylus while laying your hand on the screen?

Has anyone tried on the z1 the stylus for the z ultra? If yes, how did it feel?

thanks a lot

 

[olokos]

Nope, you can touch the screen aswell as with a stylus.

I recommend changing one value in /system/usr/idc/clearpad_pen.idc for more accuracy.
Change

# Pressure
touch.pressure.scale = 0.2

to

# Pressure
touch.pressure.scale = 0.1

works for me.

i have installed apk, and it works ok. only thing to mention and to ask is, my pressure scale was set to 0.0074, should i set it to 0.1 or left to 0.0074?

problem solved, edited wrong text file
