[APP] Touchscreen Booster (Increase touch sensibility, smoothness, multitouch)

Hey xda followers!
I have a hardware problem with my Transformer since the beginning and was too lazy to change it by a new one...
My problem is that I use my device with no problem but sometimes I am loosing touch inputs...
If I let the Transformer go into sleep mode alone and unlock it, I have to force lock and unlock again to have good touch responses back...
Then I can have a good session of 30 minutes of use without any problem and then, randomly, touch input precision is lowering, until I can't use it anymore and I must lock and unlock rapidly again...
Very annoying problem for sure...
But today I decided to search through google, forums, xda, to have a beginning of solution to my problem.
And I found THE Touchscreen Booster application.
It's an application that was made for Viewsonic G tablet at the origin. The famous Bumblebee discovered it at first so thanks to him for that. And the thread talking about that is from gojimi. He modified the application to be more easily usable. So thanks to him too!
Being an android application and having titanium backuped all my applications, I thought: why not trying!
So I installed it and launched it... AND... TADAAA! Just incredible. It worked, no problem at all, no force close, no freeze, nothing.
AND: touchscreen inputs are incredibly smoother, sensitivity has been greatly improved, response time between writing letters is better, multi touch is improved... It's just paradise. I don't know if you tried Ipad but the result is that type of sensitivity...
This application can be used by all types of roms and for people who have problems with touchscreen sensitivity or just want a bigger one
Please leave here your feedback, positive or negative, and remember, do it at your own risks, I am not responsible of the potential problems after applying this application.
It worked for me, my Transformer had never been so smooth, so why not yours!
Maybe you will have to launch the application some times, when you feel that sensitivity was better before, or after boot... But you can put the application on your desktop and touch the button FixMe!
Share, enjoy, and say thanks

Seems to have worked for me....the keyboard doesn't seem that much more responsive though...the screen transitions are alot more smooth.
Thanks for this find!!!!

Happens to mine sometimes, I just turn the screen off with the power button, and then back on and its fine again
Thanks for the apk though I`ll try it out

Wow, nice. My touchscreen was a little slow and not very sensitive to touch input. running the app has helped quite bit.

Omg this is perfect.
Can you link the original thread.

i am curious if this will have an effect on any of those handwriting apps we know and love.
Do you need to root to use this?

This probably edits something in build.prop and other system files, so yes. I'll confirm this once I try it.
EDIT: Doesn't require root. I feel no difference though...

Well, when you launch it, there is no SuperUser action popup to allow the application so I am not sure that you need to have root access...
And, yes, it has an effect on every touch app (try writing a message before and after applying the apk or try playing angry birds, there is a big difference)
Sent from my Transformer TF101

SO i gave this a shot and some aspects do seem smoother to me. None of the handwriting apps i tested were any diff as before the test.
I already had what i felt is a smooth responsive touch screen, but was curious to see if it was going to get any better.
QUESTION: when you run the app it says after hitting the calibration button "Follow the directions exactly"
I hit the button and it says calibrating screen dont touch, but no other directions.
Am i missing something here or is that the extent of the directions...
All in all not sure if it is just a placebo or if it is actually smoother. I suppose others with really bad touch response may see an effect.

No, it really is not a placebo, believe me. It was even more noticeable in my case (read my first post about my hardware problem) but even when my device was ok, it wasn't so smooth as it is right now.
For the instructions, you don't miss anything.
The important thing is "DO NOT TOUCH SCREEN WHEN CALIBRATING" because it could screw up the calibration, and if you do the opposite, the result would be that you wouldn't be able to use the device anymore, because not being able to relaunch calibration (if you have the dock, no problem at all )
That's all

So, to people who tried this application, what is your appreciation now after one week of use?

Anyone for some feedback for who has used it for about a week now?
With my TF I have a "dead" / "very unresponsive" line (about 5 mm wide) under the camera over the length of the screen.
This is very annoying when opening the market (difficult to select the search field) or when trying to tap the taskbar when the TF is rotated 180 degrees.
Sometimes it works normally, so I do not know if it is the ROM / Kernel or just unresponsive hardware.
Could this solve it?

After several weeks of use, I didn't see any battery drain more than when not using it...
Archos 101, well, it worked on Viewsonic G tablet and Transformer, maybe Archos 101, but I don't have it so I can't test...
Why not testing it if you have it and report here, and if it works, in archos 101 forum too?

[Q] Disable touch input for pen use?

I need a way to disable touch input and only allow pen input. The problem with S-Note is that even if you disable touch input for drawing, you can still manipulate zoom in and zoom out. I need a way to turn this off because my palm is activating this while I'm writing on the tablet.
Is there any way to do this? Thank you.

You're not the only one having this problems, and unfortunately there's no solution. Well, you could always remember to have your pen close to the screen since it's when you lift it while your palm is still resting on the screen the problem accrue. But today, the only solution as far as I know is to get LectureNotes and use that instead.
I have stared a thread in the apps section here about the new crappy version of SNote, that have a lot of bugs and problems. Hopefully we'll find a solution soon, until then please tell samsung about your problem and hopefully they'll understand that this really is a problem and fix it.

I use a fingerless glove when sketching. That way my hand does not touch the screen but I still can use my fingers to pinch and zoom. Plus the glove also slides on the screen better than you palm.
Layerpaint has a setting which disables single touch(from your hand) and will only recognize a dual touch for moving and pinching and zooming. The only disadvantage is that you then have to select tools and settings with the stylus instead of your finger.

Just about had it with S-Note's palm detection fails.
Are there any apps that will disable the capacitive touch screen on command?

This seems to be something that changed since the jellybean update for the galaxy note 10.1. I have the n8010 and had no issues with s note when i bought it. When my hand touched, it locked out zoom and pan, and I has no issues writing. Since the jellybean update, it doesnt work right at all. My hand touching the screen always causes a pan or zoom. I know s note was definitely updated because pdf imports suddenly work, and a few other features changed. If I had the option to downgrade to the version this n8010 shipped with, that would be ideal at this point. I hope Samsung realises they removed a useful feature and adds it back soon!

Correct! Since the upgrade SNote just doesn't work at all, which many with you have pointed out before. And beside the zoom and pan problem, I'm not really a fan of the new action bar in the top of the page that doesn't have any "hide" option. For me, the shape recognition tool doesn't work at all either as I've shown in a thread here in the apps section.
No, everything worked better with the previous version as far as I can tell. However, those lucky few who already have the 4.1.2 update doesn't seem to have these kind of problems at all so maybe there will come a better version of SNote with the next upgrade. But unfortunately, not many have the 4.1.2 so it might just be a case of them doesn't using the SNote application very much and therefore haven't gotten the problems yet.

Well I hope the Samsung folks are paying attention, because the s note feature is really why my office selected the Note 10.1 in the first place. We have purchased several! Still a great tablet, but this is an annoying flaw.

I've called Samsung about this and escaladed the issue. But like with any company they're more likely to do something about it if many complain.

It does, and are the solution they refer to in the thread "I wish SNote got locked zoom" (or something). That feature alone is enough to root the tablet, it's too bad that the guaranties gets invalid when doing so..
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

I can confirm that gmd spen root works great for me you can disable touch input by an spen gesture you create it and revert back at any time .
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda premium

I know this is kind of OT but, is there any easy way of rooting this device without loosing all your guaranties/automatic updates and without too much risk of bricking it? Are there any other disadvantages of rooting?
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

If you want to keep the stock rom u need to root with cf-autoroot and have the root access now if you want a custom recovery (to install zip files-do nandroid backup or install a custom rom)your binary will count each time u reboot to recovery but don't afraid always u can revert back to stock and have your warranty back
When you root you will lose ota (over-the-air) updates but you can update with kies or mobile odin pro

gdm spen
GDM S-pen root fixed my issue, the only disadvantage being that there is no way to make "no-touch" persistent between locking the phone and reactivating it. Which is more of a benefit then a con for those looking just to draw w/out troubles.
In my case were the touch screen is completely fubar it would help though, I'll see if I can contact the dev maybe it would be easy to add a persistent no touch option tucked away in the settings

On top of the palm reject screen resize fail with s-note, is anyone having trouble with the bottom of their forearm unintentionally opening the bottom menu when resting their palm on the screen ? It seems like I have trouble with at least one but sometimes both of those issues on a daily basis. Seriously considering rooting this bad boy.

attempt
Contacted samsung about the s note's disable touch function does not work at all. They forwarded my request to the engineering team or the app developer and this issue will be resolved. Representative used a note 10.1 while on the phone with me and we came to an agreement that the zoom function shouldn't be happening at all.

I use GMD gesture for Spen and I'm very happy of it...just give it a try!

For those reading this in 2016 and onwards.. Works amazing on my note 12. 2 pro and note 4.

Hi,
I have a zoostorm 3305 that I want to get an external 3g dongle working on. After googling I believe i need to root it first, but I'm new to rooting, and not sure what software/drivers i need and where to get them. I would love some help if you have any on offer.
Cheers

how good are these ?
speed in general
Speed of keyboard popping up when in chrome ?
viewing angles (I totally hate poor viewing angles)
updates

I am more than happy with the speed. Keyboard delay pop-up can sometimes be slow.(its usually when emails are being synced). I improved the touchscreen response by using an app to recalibrate it. I think its hindered by the supplied screen protector.
The only thing I can't do is mobile 3g internet. I think I need to root.
I'm. Awaiting I bit of help from the guru's on this forum.

it was so bad that even flat direct ahead you could see the start of the right side polarize wash out with what must be only a few degrees off centre

I sent you a PM via YouTube (Sorry), couldn't post on here for some reason but sorted now.
I have never rooted Android (very new to it) and can't find anything solid about rooting Zoostorm Playtab 10" Tablet. I really don't want to brick it.
I was wondering if you may be able to help me as it sounds like you have rooted the Playtab successfully?
Do you have any links to or name of the guide / firmware you used for the root?
Has the root improved the overall performance of you Zoostorm Playtab as mine can often freeze or delay mid use with the stock firmware?
Cheers mate.

I'm new to Tablets so not sure how useful this can be because i havn't used many others but...
speed in general is quite good however it seemed to run faster when it was new and "fresh" but now having since installed more apps, it seems to temporarily freeze mid-use e.g. going through settings tabs, launching apps etc. I often get a "not responding" message and choice to wait or quit. Waiting seems to work but as this is happening more and more, it's a concern and hence why i'm looking to root.
There is sometimes a 1 or 2 sec delay with keyboard popping up (not sure in Chrome, i'm talking general use). Its not a problem for me.
Viewing angles are reasonable to me but you can see it wash out when looking from the sides but I tend to look at it straight on anyway.
To be honest you get what you pay for (currently £114-£120 on Amazon UK / eBuyer) and it's not bad at all, especially if I can figure this freeze issue.
Hope this helps.

Not sure if you sorted it but these tablets are pretty unbrickable as are most RK3066 based tablets, I've done more wipes & reflashes on this tablet than I care to remember.
You can try to flash the original ROM from here - http://downloads.zoostorm.com/drivers/android/PlayTab/
I did manage to flash a build of CyanogenMod 10 based on another RK3066 tablet on this tablet but it wasn't really what you would call stable, it had screen rotation bugs, random reboots plus Wifi wasn't working at all & as I'm not a developer I soon reverted back to stock, for the most part the tablet runs pretty well with it's stock ROM, 3G works well with the PPP Widget app etc.
It was either this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/39750-romgenerickmod-jb41cwmzip-for-pipo-u1max-m11/

I'm really digging mine too. Most times when opening Dolphin browser or other browsers it will hang for 5-8 secs sometimes. You guys get that? only think that pees me off really.
If we could get it a tad snappier, would be great too!
How do I get flash on this thing?

I've also got the freezing issue occasionally, not sure what causes that.
My main issue at the moment is I can't use "OpenVPN for Android". It claims it can't access /dev/tun so it doesn't work (ticking the box to fix this in CM doesn't work as it's not rooted). Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Freezing is caused by software trying to access root imho. Avoid software that needs root access.

Galaxy S7 Touchscreen Problem

Galaxy S7 screen not responding to touch sometimes. The bottom portion of the display is affected. I tried 6 different S7 and all of them have the same problem, test yours like this and tap gently not hard, when you press hard you press 3mm on the screen and that is a lot ! The problem is worse when the phone is cold (20C) This is annoying because the place where its not working is the same place where the space bar is and the "." Does anyone else have that exact problem? Here is a video of the problem : https://youtu.be/OW_FQBMcuOE
IMPORTANT !
Install Phone INFO app (green adroid logo) see when the phone is manufactured, mine is 2016.02.18 ! maybe the first batch of the production have that problem! We might be on something here!!!

There are two threads already open with this situation.
I have this problem at the same location you demonstrate. The right side has this problem too. From bottom right to the top 1 cm and 2 or 3 cm up you are going to reproduce the same thing.
I get used to it but it is very annoying. Never liked Samsung because of this things. They use low quality material all around. I will never trust them.

go to samsung store

Just received H9 update and the release notes did not mention anything about LCD, touch screen or anything related to it.
But since the update, I've been trying to reproduce the problem trying to find the blind spots and for my surprise I did not find anything. The touchscreen is perfect and I can feel it is more sensitive.
Before the update I could reproduce the problem very easy! Now it is perfect.
The update here in my region (Brazil - ZTO) was about 170MB. Samsung Cloud was introduced.

Wow, mine was manufactured 2 weeks ago (2016.08.16) and I've owned it since about the 24th too, so it was 8 days old when I received it

Two strange Android problems

I recently replaced the logic board in my Verizon galaxy note II and have two strange problems. First, when I turn on the camera and tap the settings gear, the menu displays upside down. It also displays the image taken upside down.. I can work around this. It's weird but not a big deal. The second problem is the big one. Although everything seems to work fine as far as GPS and other sensors, when I attempt to use Google Sky map, the app loads fine but doesn't give me a real time view. Nothing moves when pointed at the sky. This is not only on Sky Map, but any app like that. I've calibrated the compass and found a couple of apps for calibrating the other sensors, but no change. Any ideas from anyone?

You need to remap your hardware, the motherboard you used must have been from a slightly different variant of Note 2, one with a different rotation orientation (up on yours is down on the motherboard you used).
Same goes for your GPS, the GPS on Verizon Note 2 must be different somehow on the variant that your motherboard came from.

Thank you for that info. It sounds simple enough, except, what the hell is hardware mapping?

It's configuring the software to match how your hardware sensors are configured, in other words, make up=up and down=down.

Ok. Since you're not offering, you must be waiting on this: Will you please tell me how to do this or where I can learn?

You mean since I'm not spoonfeeding you the answer. You didn't ask "how", you asked "what is it?".
That's because it requires knowledge of the note 2 system, I'm not familiar with note 2 but my experience with other devices tells me that your hardware isn't mapped correctly because its upside down.
You'll have to get help from note 2 users that are familiar with your software/hardware.

I'm sorry. I figured since I didn't know what hardware mapping was, it would be obvious to you that I wouldn't know how to do it either. But I thank you for letting me know what to look for.
