How can i convert my z3 to a walkman?

[BenEren]

As you all know this phone got a quite good DAC and i want to use it as a HQ music player. Half of the screen is not receiving touches and randomly touching where i cant touch. So i need to disable half of the screen and keep it useful in some way. I think this can be fun but i dont know where to start modifiying (i got root, nothing more). Hope someone helps.

I think you can start working on it by connecting a cabled mouse through otg, then get creative. Which half of the screen is currently working?

Top half is working and i can touch the buttons on bottom but keyboard is in random touch area. Using mouse for screen is good but when screen starts touching randomly i cant do anything. Need to disable the bottom half but keep the display. Also using mouse on screen by touching can be great as i could still use bottom half but i really dont know how can i make that.

I don't think there is a way to disable half of the capacitive layer beneath the glass, set it up with your mouse, then control the player with a widget on the upper part of the screen.
