I'm using an Adonit Jot style stylus on a Android phone (ZTE V5 Max on Android 4.4.4, but I experience similar problems with other devices), which generates less signal on the capacitive touch screen than a finger. The phone's software appears to be configured with only hand touch in mind, and drawing with the stylus results in broken lines a lot.
On the pointer location debug display the minimum pressure I can get for a touch point to register is 0.09, and with this stylus I get 0.10~0.11 most of the time, so the head room is really low. With a finger the pressure level is usually above 0.15. This makes me wonder if I can tweak the threshold for a signal to be registered as touch to make inking with the stylus more stable.
I'm aware of some Build.prop configs suggested here and there. However after playing with several versions and reading some of the documentation I believe those values only change the touch behavior after a touch point has been registered. The actual threshold for a signal to be recognized as touch is not changed, and my problem remains.
I've also came across this thread which appears to be very relevant, unfortunately the mentioned file system paths are not found on my 4.4 ROM.
Is there anything I can play with to change such a threshold? (I have root access.) Or is it hard-coded in device-specific drivers?
Netherlands OTA L29C432B138 just came in a minute ago, all good. The 6x zoom is still there so we'll have to wait some more for 10x.

Considering getting the OP6
currently i have the p20 pro came from a 5T, i feel like the ui was a step backwards, the kirin 970 feels sluggish (or emui), my 5T was snappy and quick
the p20 has an amazing camera setup noticably better than my 5T.
however huawei isnt without its issues, google app has stopped working for almost all huawei devices, the UI is noticably slower than my previous 5T, bad ram management, old SOC, certain old school linux tweaks break the phone.
other than the camera and VOLTE the p20 pro has little going for it, my question is, is it worth upgrading to the op6?
mainly use the camera for point and shoot, if the op6 can hold its own against the p20p that would be a major deciding factor, also if VOLTE works in Australia (as it does on my p20 pro)
*i rarely purchase phones, the 5T and p20 were given to test and if i decide to keep i just have to pay the amount, most of the time i just sawp them out for a new phone a month later, deciding if i should use a op6 or p20p as a daily driver.
I come from OP5, i spent 1 month choosing between p20 pro (just because it's camera) and OP6..
I finally choose the OP6; main raisons :
- finally the camera is way better than my 'oil effect' OP5 camera
- impossible to live with emui
- 'root/mods' community
- spending $250 more for an old SOC is not an option
- front design : the large area with FG scanner on the front is so ugly with a notch and does't make any sense...

A comparison between the P20 PRO (about 1 month of use) and the subjective Oneplus 6 (15 days):
*
- equivalent screens. Nickel, 1080p is enough for those who do not use VR.
No adjustment needed.
Ex aequo.
*
- HP. No call, the single microphone OP6 is not terrible (although the last update was given more punch) and do not just compete with the 2 stereo microphones Huawei. The most difficult is in landscape mode, the fingers tend to clog the only grid. For the jack output (with adapter on the P20 PRO), no noticeable difference, but I'm not a music lover.
The earphones of Oneplus are much more comfortable to wear.
*
- design.
The quality of manufacture is identical. The fingerprint sensor on the front of Huawei is convenient for viewing messages in the office. The use of this one for navigation is nice, but I prefer the gestures of Oneplus. To return to the impression sensor, the rear placement makes it less accurate than the P20 PRO. This is not a blocking problem, it is me that night or while waking when the facial unlocking trouble with my floured mouth: Heink:
The OP6 heats up while I have not felt anything on the P20PRO.
On the P20PRO the top microphone is very small. No problem sound restitution issue of the call, but sometimes the sound was muffled. By moving the phone a few millimeters, no more worry. I guess the narrowness of the microphone is that in some positions the lobe of my ear blocked this one. No worries about other phones.
*
-drums.
My typical use: VLC 2.5h, 2h bluetooth podcast listening, 2h surf, 4G 11h, 8h in airplane mode and the rest in WiFi.
I was expecting a regression seeing the test on Gsmarena and the difference in capacity of both batteries.
P20 PRO or OP6, I find myself with the same SOT: 5h30 to 7h. Between 2 refills I am at 40h.
Fast charging is equivalent.
*
Photo Cards.
Huawei did very hard. If they manage to solve the AI that abuses the color saturation, the photo part will be close to perfection.
Mention A ++ for the black and white sensor which gives an impressive result. : Love:
Photos in very low light are abused, the camera can see things that the human eye does not arrive.
The OP6 does not demerit. Compared to my old S7, the photos are better in outdoor and basic brightness, the OP6 is slightly less responsive on the focus.
In summary: S7 + - = OP6 << P20PRO
Regarding the photo application, I found the ergonomics of OP6 more fun than that of P20PRO

-Software
Let's start with Huawei. Unlike a lot of criticism, I have not suffered lags and RealRacing no significant loss of SPF. The settings are a bit messy, but you do not spend your life there. I liked the ability to block apps on startup and in the background.
But we get to the main reason for my change: Notification management is flawed. Regularly I lost calendar notifications, Keep, mail etc ...: cry:
I tried to disengage all the necessary parameters or to change by equivalent applications. Factory reset. Nothing to do. The process that hibernates applications seems to be extremely brutal (even in previous versions of EMUI). I have never been able to successfully run next apps because of this aggressive management: Lightflow (or Lightmanager) and Notification Reminder.
Regarding OxygenOS, being a former user of a Nexus 4, I'm thrilled. From the Android close to the stock with until it is necessary in setting. Everything is fluid, stable and visually clean. :ground:
The community seems to be active on ROM / kernel despite the youth of the phone. I just wait for the others to wipe the plasters, not urgent on this side, the basic soft is amply enough.

-Network.
the 2 are very good compared to my previous phones (S7 and Z3 compact).
In my basement, the S7 was struggling to make calls. The P20PRO was bagging between H + and 4G. The OP6 is still in 4G.
In outdoor use, the 2 are equal.
*
To summarize :
The 2 phones are excellent
- the P20PRO is a range above question photos but the application management is really too aggressive screen off
- the OP6 OS isirreproachable OS. But on the other points no notable differences compared to its competitor.

I'm waiting for my OP6 to arrive (I live in Brazil)
But that's quite what I expected, the OP6 is more than just fast, it's an incredible software experience, without crashes / bugs, and out of the ordinary performance.
Obviously the P20 camera is on another level, but I think the OP6 camera does a great job
Is there a way to improve touch latency response on this device via adjusting the cpu govenor like these folks did with the essential phone on reddit?

Would love to make the touch response like ios if possible

Does any Realme 5s user notice this ? Swipe just a little bit repeatedly (either up-down or left-right), after two or three swipes, the touch is just getting registered in the middle, something like average between the farthest points, this is only happening, when the swipes are very small. This is annoying particularly in Pubg Mobile .
Change battery saving settings and performance mode does not have any effect.
Does anyone have solution for this ? or is it even happening in other Realme 5s phones ? (This bug is not on Realme 3) (sorry for any mistakes, this is my first time posting here)
