TWRP Touch not working

[Mr. Blanco]

Hey Guys how's it going ... I'm having a little trouble getting twrp touch screen to work , running latest update 8.1 dec patch ...read many , many forum discussions here so i wouldn't make any mistakes but for some reason twrp touch is not responsive. Started from absolute stock brand new device , unlocked boot loader and critical and fastbooted pixel 2 xl twrp.img 3.2.1 and while in temporary twrp i flashed the twrp 3.2.1 zip and then the magisk 15.1 zip and absolutely nothing else and rebooted ....everything's fine except when i reboot in to twrp from my device, the touch screen does not work downloaded file from official twrp site and tried a couple times from scratch but never seems to change .... if there's something i've done wrong or if anyone might be able to help it would be very much appreciated and i apologize in advance if there is a solution on here that i haven't located yet

Your issue has been well documented. From what I've read, it seems to be much more prevalent when using the stock kernel (boot.img) I would try flashing a custom kernel..ie..Flash, Elemental X, or electron to name a few. Hopefully that will solve your problem :good:

Yep, custom kernel seems to resolve it... I'm using Flash's latest.

Thanks Badger , i really appreciate your help and suggestions ...i'm gonna give it a shot after work tonight

thank you dadoc and also galaxyS for your guys support , really appreciate it !!! Do you notice any improvements using the Flash Kernal compared to stock ?

You'll have much more control over your kernel, such as, color control, gestures, memory, governors, schedulers, vibration, and wakelocks :good:

Thanks Badger .....between the Flash , Electron and ElementalX kernals , do you have a preference ?

Flash and Ex have been my 2 favorites for a long time. Flash does a great job keeping it up to date with upstream changes, and Ex has been a solid performer for many years. Can't go wrong with either :good::good:

agree 100% with what he said... been using flash since the 6p

using adb reboot recovery also works

Hey Badger i have a question , i'm on stock 8.1 dec patch . and wanted to flash Ex kernal but i've noticed that it and a couple other kernals are on jan patch ... if i flash kernal with new jan patch , will i still be able to revert back to factory image with dec patch ....as that is all that is available for my device presently

Yeah, no problem. When you flash your factory images, it will overwrite your system and return to stock kernel. Question, what do you mean by "that is all that's available for my device"? There are factory images for the P2XL on Google's site. Why not just upgrade to the January build?

Thanks Badger . that's what i figured , but wanted to be safe as ive read you can't revert back but i'm assuming that's to the 8.0 os builds. Yeah i was all over it looking for my device build to flash the jan build but it's only showing the dec build for mine on the developers google site 8.1.0 (OPM2.171019.012, Dec 2017, Telus Only)

im pretty sure you can use the version (OPM1.171019.013, Jan 2018)
as you see, there isn't a Telus only build for every single release.

Hopefully someone who is more familiar will chime in and give you some assurance

Hi,

I am using Pixel2 and had same touch issue with TWRP and got a fix from other forum (Thanks to Google)

Before rebooting into recovery disable Ambient display in settings screen.

Settings -> Battery -> Ambient display >> Switch off Always On

Now try to reboot into TWRP and it should work.

If its still not working try with disabling all options under Ambient display option.

Thank You

I know the P2 is a little different than the P2XL, but, have you tried disabling screen lock security and then fastbooting into twrp?
