Please post question in the correct forum, the Q&A forum. Next time you post in the development section, ask yourself. Did I create this, or did me and someone create something? If the answer is no, please do not post in development.
Bring a new member you can have a little slack, however please read then forum rules and educate yourself on which forum to post in.
Thanks.

Did you even attempt to search? Had you have googled it you'd have found it.

A sticky thread is a thread stuck at the top of a forum. This is nothing to do with being an expert. This is common, internet language.

Hot to get touch control after update to 4.4.3 ?

After updating my nexus to 4.4.3 ,I lost this function on my phone .because it depends on the kernel. is there any solution ?

1. Wrong section
2. The dev stopped working on it
sorry for mistake . I thought it' s the right section as Touch control is an application.

You are right, it's a app but , Quest answer section would be a better place but lethargy gave you the answer, touch control app is no longer under developing, you can use a kernel with S2w support.

You could try Bricked kernel (AOSP & stock roms, I believe) or Chaos (CM11), both work well in my opinion.

Alright, calm down, he is also human, give the guy a break.

[Q] This is probably a dumb question but here it goes

Since I am rooted, when Lollypop comes out will I be able to get the OTA or will I have to flash a ROM? If I can get the OTA will I have to re-root or will it all just work?
Thanks in advance!

lol, no problem
thats probably the most asked question in android, ever since the g1 got rooted. and after ever single update, that question gets repeatedly asked, over and over.

5.0.2

Hi is there any 5.0.2 ROM that is near stock (I use bigxie's on 5.0.1 and love that!) And that is flashable via twrp. Can't find any....
Thanks

If only there was some kind of system where important threads could be stickied to the top, for example, in the general forum - so people could find this sort of thing. That would be great. Let's contact XDA admin and suggest that
