Root Cm7 Multi touch for Triumph

[enzilla]

I know the OC 1.5 Kernel for CM7 has the same touchscreen as MIUI and has multitouch but is there a way someone can teach me how to/add more finger inputs? I want to play some multi touch games however it only recognizes two fingers and it really isnt playable that way...

im having the same issues, i really want to play games like modern combat 2, NOVA and such but even with the new touchscreen drivers nothing

(YAY 100 Post!)

Well if there's one person you want to ask about all that it's Isaac or you can try google.

I hope he can help me or if he can be kind enough to put it in if he has spare time.

you could also talk to b_randon14... he made a cm7 kernel, and im sure he'd be willing to try what you request

Well yea he's made a kernel but I don't know if he knows how to mess with the touchscreen driver and add more finger support (no offence to him) if he can then that's cool, but I know that Isaac has messed with and improved the touchscreen driver and said that it would probably be possible to add more finger support just he has no use for it so I would personally try him first...

 

[enzilla]

i'd try him too but hes already said he wouldnt do it because he himself has no use for it :/

If you pm I'm sure he could at least give you somewhere to start.

Most new phones can only support dual touch points. it is a hardware limitation

Well Isaac said that it should be possible... The worst thing that could happen is it wouldnt work...

Yeah, it should be possible. If the panel can register 2 simultaneous inputs, I don't see why it couldn't pick up 3-10 multi-touch. Do I want to add 3-10 MT? No. I don't have any use for that. The driver is available for anyone to modified though.

I would listen to Ziggy. Kernels are the way to get more point multi touches. For example. And who knows? Maybe he would like to put in the extra effort to do it?

 

[enzilla]

who knows I might ask him and ive looked into that but as for decompiling and recompiling to a working flashable zip... well lets just say it isnt simple for me :/

That's part of the kernel. You can't just flash it. Also the triumph doesn't use that driver in that article so unfortunately it doesn't apply to us.

 

[enzilla]

Couldn't you make a port or make it so it works with the triumph?

what driver does the triumph use? mantera could you add the extra multi touch to a stock rom kernel?

The driver meant for the ELAN bi041p touchscreen.

EDIT: Here's the driver: https://github.com/ikarosdev/triump...2976053/drivers/input/touchscreen/bi041p_ts.c

thanks i will look at it...

EDIT: how would i add more finger recognition to the stock rom? if you tell me how to i can do it

 

[enzilla]

Great news!!! Hopefully we could add more points is there anything I can do to help?

so is this dead or is ziggy46 still looking into it?

well i was looking into trying it, but its way over my head. i wouldnt even know where to start! LOL i was thinkin it was gonna be a "put this here, and that there" kinda job, but its most definatly not...

 

[enzilla]

Kernel patch for 3-10 point multi-touch - xda-developers they have some sort of kernel patch for 3-10 inputs i dont know if you maybe could find a way to start that way?

yea i saw that, but it wont work for our phone...

 

[enzilla]

darn ill keep researching i might be able to find something

EDIT: (Please excuse my noobiness as im still barely learning about all this) Is it possible to maybe somehow port or even implement another touch screen driver into this phone?

Probably from another phone that uses the same chip as the MT... it uses kernel/drivers/input/touchscreen/bi041p_ts.c But it's easier said than done.

o'well i'd offer help but i'm worser off than you.
thanks for looking into it though.

if anyone knows a dev that might do this for a donation then please let him/her know, id be willing to donate 20 bucks.
