This would have been amazing while I used WinMo on my Vogue. I would flash back from Android to try this if it ever came to the Vogue.

Probably not
BTW what would be even nicer is if we could get this to work on Android
Yes, the linked article specifically references resistive touch screens, so it sounds like it could be possible to the right developers.

Its definitely possible since this was specifically developed for resistive screens not capacitive. There is even an SDK. I'd love to see this on Android with the Vogue.

Tested it out just now and it does seem to work... Kinda...
But it is something that we can look forward to in the future for these old phones.

Cooking this in is not the issue... Long story short... nothing works with it yet
Actually, the only reason I want to use this is because in PocketGBA (or PocketSNES or any other emulator) I can't press more than one button at a time. So when I try to use the directional pad, I have to pick up my finger to press buttons.
Would this multi-touch mod fix this?

And so far i'm so glad i did. My only gripe is that the keyboard on the iPhone seems much easier to use. does anyone else agree? What good keyboard mods are there out there which could help?

This has me totally lost. You switched from an iPhone keyboard to a Desire one, and are glad you did, but you find the iPhone one easier to use?
No offense but that isn't making too much sense to me
Do you mean you had an iphone and now have a Desire but would like a new iPhone type keyboard on it?

sorry...the topic wasnt really correct...
I've switched from the iphone to the HTC Desire, and i really like the desire, however i find the keyboard harder to use than the iphones one. just want an alternative keyboard that maybe has the buttons spaced better. just find i'm mis-typing a lot. (i know you can go landscape, and i know you can have compact qwerty etc but i want a normal portrait keyboard)
Not exactly what you are asking for, but you could do a search for swype.
It's a keyboard that you just swipe your finger across the correct letters and it somehow works out what you want to type! It's really very accurate.
Failing that you could try better keyboard or smart keyboard pro. I can't remember which, but one of them has skins and iPhone is an option on it.
I recommend Smart Keyboard Pro. Has an iPhone setting I believe.

You'll have to live with this problem mate. It's not the keyboard that's the problem. The iPhone has a feature that guesses which letter your gonna press and it works perfect. Android doesn't have this feature so you have to press the correct key most of the time coz prediction isn't always correct. One tried all the downloadable keyboards but they are not as good as the HTC keyboard. Which Is a shame coz that's not too clever.
P.S
I'm still not used to the keyboard after 2 months. I'm constantly making mistakes.
I now use the phone keypad as its faster to type and more accurate.
swype is the way forward.......imo
Get a swype keyboard.
Start it. Feel frustrated and think what's the hype?
Type some random stuff for fifteen minutes.
You will never look back.
I went with "better keyboard" and have it set to put a dot on the key after it is pressed.
After typing a word, I notice how often I've pressed the wrong keys, yet still it has predicted the correct word/spelling.
Have tried swype, and whilst it's got a certain wow factor, I prefer to touch like a traditional keyboard

Just tried this its called thickbuttons and its free on the market.
It's terrible. It moves keys about as you type so you can only type slowly. So thanks but no thanks.
I found a really good replacement. I'm using it to type this and its awsome. It's called swiftkey. And its free to use. Search for it on the market. You'll be massively impressed.
What is a good swype keyboard then? As the market comes up blank when searching for swype
SwiftKey is fantastic for me. Has replaced my custom htc ime mod keyboard.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I like the guessing features in swiftkey a lot. But my wish is to have swiftkey work on the phone keypad layout. This is much faster for me and easier to use one handed. At the moment it's only on qwerty type layouts.

is there any on-screen virtual touchpad or trackball that would permanently dock at the bottom of the screen that would move a 'mouse' like pointer or selection area on-screen? with the evo having just a large touch screen, there's no way to 'highlight' things without just pressing it with your finger. Does this make sense?
the touch input htc keyboard has those 4 navigation arrows across the bottom of the keyboard, which i'd love to port to swype too, but the only way to use them is to open the full keyboard, which covers too much of the screen if you aren't typing something.
BTW - did everyone know if you hold down(long press) the menu button, you can toggle the keyboard anywhere you are, not just a text-input box? love it

that, I believe, is actually not what he's talking about. I believe you are looking for something along the lines of Virtual Trackball, version 1.2 is out
NOTE: i believe it requires ROOT, so make sure you're rooted.

If you go all the way through the thread, it is about Virtual Trackball by the end of it. In the end, they wanted Virtual Trackball to use the touch sensitive area on the search button. The developer never really got back to them.
But the OP seems to want something like the CM6 mouse support without actually needing to use a mouse. Admittedly, this would be kind of cool. Ultimately though, you'd be using a portion of the touch input to control a mouse that is simulating using your finger. It's a little redundant seeming.
I found something useful ...

Yeeees, right. I shifted the end-letters for fun ...
I've been trying to work out how the SDK image would work on actual handsets, and the only answer I come to is "crashariffic". If you set up an AVD to run at 480x800, then it defaults to a regular Android skin, but Launcher crashes. However, it works if you set the LCD density to 100 or less - but then it would be unusable on all but the largest of handsets - the Desire HD or Dell Streak, for example.
If I had another handset.. er.. handy, I'd try flashing my SGS with it just to see.

Not a good idea.
But maybe some parts could be useful for optimization or theming.
I wanted to try out the new clock font for the lockscreen.
No luck so far. On Froyo, or Gingerbread it's Clockopia.ttf.
On Honeycomb it's split across two files named AndroidClock.ttf and AndroidClock_Highlight.ttf.
One for vertical and one for horizontal bars. I can only get one to display.
Any ideas on this?
gallery doesn't work too
Can somebody tell what works?

Nothing will work
The apps were built for a higher API Level, so it wont install without modifications.
You modify the APKs and hope that they dont use any new APIs.

Just read that it will work with 3rd party home like Launcher Pro so problem is in the Home app.
Here's a link to check it out. Not sure if it works. If anybody wants to test out the APK, please report back with your results.
Thanks but the app is only installable on the ULTRA, MAXX, Mini, and Moto X.
it installs without problems, but doesn't appear in appdrawer, and playstore says it's incompatible with the One
I have installed the .apk, but can't start it, as it isn't present as an actual app. I think, we also need the settings app directly from the Moto X/Droid Series, in order to be able to set up the actual touchless cotrols app.
Application installed just fine on my Telus Galaxy S3 with CM10.2. Added the activities shortcut through Nova Launcher. Tried to launch each activity but it just crashed.
Rebooted and continuous errors.
There's something unique in Motorola's framework similar to TouchWiz/Sense etc. I know this is the HTC One forums, but I felt like trying it out
lol i like how the OP post an apk wants people to test but it too scared to test it himself
wont work...but

as for motorola touchless control apk it will never work without the motorola chip inside
Touchless controls is going to require a Motorola Phone. It requires a specific low-core processor that allows the phone to be constantly listening, if we kept the mic in our phones on 24/7 without Motorola's specific hardware, our battery would die in 1 hour.

I was at work and couldn't download it and play with it. I have since tried it (it failed for me too), and have done some more digging. Apparently, the Moto X has a core in it's processor made to do just this. We do not have that core. Looks like this is a lost cause...
Stop saying core! It's a DSP, noting 'core' about that. .
But yes, this is useless without that chip. There is a app on play store that does the same thing and you can even set the wake phrase ('Jarvis!'). Haven't tried it so I cannot comment on battery, but I'm sure it uses quite a bit.

Is this going to be able to work with the nexus 5 because is has the same snapdragon 800 or will it still struggle? So disappointed the nexus 5 doesn't feature some of the moto x impressive features like touchless control and amazing battery. Otherwise it is a great phone!

Yes i know its a hardware thing but there might be some software tweaks which can emulate it. I remember reading an article about an app that emulates force touch using the area of the finger in contact with the screen and another one that uses the microphone. Of course they aren't as accurate as the actual hardware thing but they're still close...

The closest implementation is in Android 7.1.1 , in supported launchers. You can get the same on any phone using Nova.

There was this article I read too: http://www.themarysue.com/3d-touch-on-any-phone-software/
As there is no hardware for it, you cannot enable it via software. Also, the closest emulation is long pressing but no (or almost none) launchers/ ROMs will implement it because it's definitely going to be unstable and buggy.
