Hi,

My touch screen is dead (display is OK but touch is dead).
I have to use a mouse (via USB OTG)
With TWRP 3.1.1 mouses work perfectly (you must plug the mouse before power-on the phone)
With TWRP 3.2.1 or 3.5.0 I have no mouse cursor at all.

I can't install modern ROM with TWRP 3.1.1 (if I try, installation script stops with error : phone model is not recognized).
Do you think it's possible to make OTG mouse working in your version ?

Thanks

Do you think it's possible to make OTG mouse working in your version ?

I really don't know!
This message can be read in logcat:

I:Unable to mount '/usb-otg'
I:Actual block device: '', current file system: 'auto'

If I have a little more time, I will take a look into it.

 

[Rulistaff]

OK thanks!
If it could help, joined v3.1.1 with mouse support OK

OK thanks!

It would be better if you send me LOG files (including kernel LOG) with that working TWRP recovery with OTG mouse support.

Sorry I was out from house...
Yep no problem, where can I find the TWRP log files (full path) ?

 

[Berni-0815]

There is a menu entry in TWRP

Hi,

joined the log files.
Regards

 

[Rulistaff]

You will see this message is also in the log file :

I:Unable to mount '/usb-otg'

I think this is about USB storage, so no pb...

But you will see on line 33 :

I:Loading mouse cursor...

I:Loading pages...

I:Loading page splash

I:Switching packages (splash)

I:Found mouse 'Logitech USB Optical Mouse'

But you will see on line 33 :

I:Loading mouse cursor...

Since I have no OTG device, I can't test it with my TWRP version. If anyone has an OTG device, please test and send a LOG.

Up !

If someone have something like this :

Just plug a mouse on it, plug it into the phone, reboot on recovery (it's important to plug the mouse berfore power-on or reboot the phone), save TWRP logs, and send the files here.
It will take juste 2 minutes, thanks !

What kind of adapter is that? Do I have to pay attention to something special? Or is it just an adapter from A to Micro B?

Edit: Doesn't care; I've just bought one.

 

[Berni-0815]

New version out; see 1st post.

• Minimal changes. Nothing important. No need to update, because there are no improvements. Just a new build.
• This build is for those, who are installing TWRP the first time.

Edit: Doesn't care; I've just bought one.

Arrived! And from dmesg:

[    1.069931] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
[    4.870005] usb 1-1: Product: USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse
[    4.890398] input: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse as /devices/soc.0/f9200000.ssusb/f9200000.dwc3/xhci-hcd.0.auto/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/input/input6

That means, the mouse is recognized! But recovery LOG shows nothing remarkable:

I:Loading mouse cursor...
I:Loading mouse cursor...
I:Loading mouse cursor...

Any hints are highly welcome!

Hi to all, it seems every time I restore a backup in TWRP the ambient light sensor stops responding. It's like if the connection gets broken. Anybody experienced the same?
I have tried to back up and restore all the available folders but it didn't make any difference.
I also tested with lineage 17 and 18 and other Berni's recommended TWRP earlier build but still the same.
It is weird but even if I delete all files and backups and reflash new rom again the ambient light still doesn't work.
The only way I can get it back working is to delete all files-folders in TWRP, and flash in Flashmode android 5.1 firmware - .tft file. Only after that the sensors' functionality is restored.
Of course if I want to go back to lineage I need to upgrade to android 7.1 first, then flash twrp and then flash lineage again making the whole process endless for me. All works fine until I try to use restore.
Is it possible I could have installed the twrp in a wrong way at first and even after reflashing the phone with the process above some traces still stays on the phone at some partition repeating this problem again?

 

[Berni-0815]

There is an issue in restore process! I always have to flash a new (or existing) ROM after restoring.
That means, even after restoring a los18.1 I have to flash los18.1 over the restored system.

Thank you for the reply, much appreciated. I was going nuts trying to figure if I was doing something wrong.
I know this might be out of scope of this thread but is there any other known solution or app capable to handle backup-restore, making the process easier?
Thanks
