can you please test if two finger on the same X axys are now registered correctly? my opo is through the RMA process so i can't test

Certainly seems to be working for me. Typing fine, and x-axis multitouch is working great.

Yes, working fine for me.....

The question now is.... will be forever?

multi touch on mine phone on x axis is still jerking from time to time
sometimes it works normally, detects 2 fingers, then on the other hand detects one or none
will see how it will perform through the day, but since i made a clean flash, i doubt that it will be better...

I have the grounding issue with my ONE. No problems with higher temperatures though.

I flashes Franco Kernel r43 boot.img on my stock cm12s. Fo rme the issues are gone.
x-axis touching is working good. Swiping texts is finally possible again!
Thanks to synaptics!!

I will probably switch to cm12.1 nightlies again when I have some spare time left.

Any way this could be a flashable zip for all ROMs or is this something that is baked into the ROM/Kernel?

You can flash Franco's kernel below if you are on CM12s/CM12 (5.0.2). Or the alternative is to flash the 5/15 nightly (5.1) or wait for it to be rolled out OTA.

No chance for CM11s? I'm just not a fan of 5.x right now.

I think you may be in luck! If you take the plunge let us know how you find it.

Nice! Thanks for the link. Flashing now.

I had only mild touchscreen issues so I'll see if it gets rid of them.

I've never had touch issues thus far, but I am a bit disappointed at the fix. Although I do notice a better touch response, the fix isn't a fix and is a workaround. PPPreferences has a huge battery drain (com.qualcomm.display) which basically, like I've seen written somewhere, means they're just keeping an app open to recalibrate the screen constantly.

Not for me. Nothing changed in terms of battery usage with today's nightly. Also it isn't even listed under Apps in the battery screen on my device.
This app is only used for post processing (Live Display) and has nothing to do with the new firmware.
I was suffering from pretty bad heat related issues, all gone now.

I just flashed Boeffla-Kernel for CM11s. I can definitely tell a difference. There was one app that I could make it jump when swiping up or down and holding it toward the bottom-middle of the screen, no longer have that issue. I also constantly had trouble with it "clicking" things when all I wanted to do was scroll up or down on something. Have not had that issue since flashing.

Hmm that's pretty interesting then, but I don't seem to be the only one reporting a difference in the CPU time of something which includes the Qualcomm services. We'll see with more usage though.

Do you need root to install?

Yes, until it gets pushed officially, as you need to either flash a custom kernel or the latest nightly.
