As it was announced we have the same touch screen sensor like the galaxy s thus same drivers limited to 5 point multitouch so can any one try this mod to enable the 10 point multitouch
change:
Code:
5277: //#define MAX_NUM_FINGER 10 // Maximum possible fingering
5278: #define MAX_USING_FINGER_NUM 5
to
Code:
#define MAX_USING_FINGER_NUM 10
And in the android source at:
Code:
froyo/services/java/com/android/server/InputDevice.java
Set max_pointers to 10.
I have taken it from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10144815#post10144815 but i don't know how to try it myself so is any one interested ?
update :
1. on galaxy s forum they say that to get it work you should use moded kernel and firmware as samsung firmware dosn't support it but cm7 dos support it
2. data sheet of the touch sensor claims up to 10 points multitouch http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/9530S.pdf
3. galaxy tab teardown showing the the touch screen sensor type http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Teardown/4103/2
4. Patch included in this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14248227&postcount=9 thanks to (koxudaxi) for his greatest work and interest
Two questions:
1) Are there actually applications except maybe some games(don't know any) where it is a advantage to have 10 simultaneous touch points?
2) Are there disadvantages to enable 10 in stead of 5 points? Although the hardware seems to support it, there must be a reason why Samsung disabled this by default.

As of yet, Other then the Notepad, there's really nothing that would require the use of more then 5 touchpoints.
Cons: Only one i could think of is screwing up the screen calibration points. Eventually leading to degradation of the screens ability to accurately track touch points.

About the first question only the multitouch apps and may. Be piano as i remimber
Second no disadvantsges i think ,the htc flyer ,evo and incredible have them enabled with no problems ,and there isn't always problems behind deactivating somethings ,all oems deactivate some things for no technical reason take example (multitouch was disabled in x10 and nexus one and was enabled later, hd2 had wifi Ndraft and was disabled, fm radio in both nexus models ,micro sd card slot on motorolla xoom ,etc )

True. Those are good examples where the manufacturer actually disabled working hardware, like the FM radio on my Nexus One.

you also need to patch the kernel for this to work, but whats the point, I could tell you exactly what
This will not cause damage to the hardware, and will not rape your cat, kill your mother or anything like that, that is just being paranoid. the hardware is capable and it is just not enabled in the driver, presumably because there is no need for it
this kernel is gift for you

And no growling at Natious as its a good point. So you either would need to have the tab supported by something else to enable multiple finger play.. and seriously is there even the realestate on a 7" screen for what your trying to achieve??
From what I have read the 10 is wicked and there are some music apps and such that will use it.

two days ago ive installed CM6.1 and first thing i noticed when i tested some games the GPU performance was better
to give an example, angry birds runs liquid smooth without any of the previous judder it actually runs like iphone4, while asphalt 5 performs much better with much less frame drops
i tried ask around what makes cynogenmod runs games better with no help and i'm pissed we don't have the same performance with sense roms even though with richard's kernel the cpu performace is amazing, it was clearly not related to OC, so i kept trying different sense roms until i tried AuraxTsense 7.9 and i finally i got the same results, i'm getting 31.9fps on neocore and angry birds running 60fps without judder, asphalt 5 performing a lot better too, by the way this results at the default 998mhz on demand

Tho i've noticed running 2d+3d sections only on quadrant advance with both roms, CM6 is still getting better scores...not a big deal anyway: like 139 vs 184, and it seems that CM is doing better mostly the 2d part of the bench (tho idk about the "stock" CM, cause on mine i'm running the vorkKernel 7.1).
This said i would never have expected such a great improvement on a sense rom, thanks for raising the question man, somebody had to do that sooner or later.

[UPDATE 4]
I've tested various games and apps at stock 998mhz interactive
Quadrant
2D: 265 vs 276
3D: 326 vs 383
angry brids the best game to benefit, very smooth frame rate, very enjoyable
asphalt 3.1.8 runs better and smoother
asphalt 3.2.1 runs at an even higher fps best version
asphalt 3.3.2 runs the same as 3.1.8
reckless racing inconsistent frame rate but less severe frames drop when facing other cars
assassin creed, hero of sparta better frame rate
need for speed shift very smooth it was good before but now its even more smooth, very impressive
backbreaker higher fps a little unstable
the mod seems to uncap higher frame rate and removes judder (something like VSYNC unlock in pc games) however in some games this seem to cause inconsistency in frame rate between very high and drops
either way its a very impressive upgrade and makes a lot of games more enjoyable especially 2D games, i think this the best we can achieve without having to switch to Cyanogen based Roms

well no, it should be added to a kernel we use on all sense ROMs or release the kernel standalone, as far as i can tell the code is also there in Cyangenmod 6.1
by the way the auraxTsense kernel still lacks the SD fix
so our best bet is adding this to richardTrip's now essential kernel
Indeed, I couldn't find the source of the modified kernel (by Flohimself) in AuraxTSense v7.9 thread.
So I think it breaks the GPL2 license by not releasing the source.

nandroid backup first, its still experimental
Nobody asked me by MP, A lot of times don't see my thread, because I'm not all day at the pc. It's exactly that snq- said in his post.
Originally provided by kingxklick (FloHimself found it on king kernel)
The patch is good for fps and stability, but it makes a little cpu slower (that i have seen at the mo)
I didn't see any CPU losses yet, but eitherway its worth it since our CPU is quite good already and can be OCed while the GPU is lacking and a little depraved in the gaming department

Is an inperceptive cpu loss, only noticeable with quadrant, about 1-30 point less, but that you say, with overclock don't matter, better for gaming because is not noticeable 20 30 points.
Guess that would be amazing for HD ROM's as u get about 200 points more on quadrant anyway, now imagine with this fix, HD ROM, SD fix and now GPU these dev' are just amazing
Introduction:
The UI of android keeps improving as updates from the android team keep flowing in. There has been a massive improvement in the aesthetics and looks of the system UI from the ancient Eclair till Jelly Bean. With improving UI and better graphics the system keeps becoming an resource hog. All android smartphones these days come with a separate GPU to satisfy the graphics rendering needs of the apps these days. However the GPU doesn’t exactly help in rendering of the system UI that means the load falls of the CPU to render the system UI and other system framework.
so here is a Mod that will disable CPU rendering and enable full GPU rendering,which will let you enjoy the true power of your adreno200!
Improvements:
-Improved performance.
-Blazing speed.
-Better sound quality.
-Improved responsiveness.
-Smoother UI experience.
-Some apps(bloatware) that earlier ran slow like Facebook will turn snappy.
-Free up CPU for other tasks.
requirements:
-Rooted device
-CWM installed 4 or 5!
How to install:
1-Download the file.
2-boot to recovery mod.
3-Make a nandroid backup just in case.
4-install zip from sdcard.
5-choose Zip from sdcard and choose the file.
6-Reboot your device!

egl.cfg in /system/lib/egl should be 0 1 adreno200!
Hello,
Marcin from MaclawStudio here. I have to say something as someone who know something about Android source code.
This tweak won't improve performance, battery life and anything other. It does nothing because Android always tries to use h/w accelerated EGL libs, and if something goes wrong, then it falls back to software libs (b2r2)
After applying this tweak, android will select h/w accelerated libs, it's true... But before applying it, Android also was selecting h/w libs. The only thing that would change after applying is the software renderer used as fallback will be broken, and your device will crash in some rare cases when it's necessary.
I don't recommend using it. If someone don't believe me, go and study android source code, especially libsurfaceflinger.
BTW. I lol'd after reading that it will improve sound quality... EGL has nothing to do with sound. NOTHING.
BTW2. If the "tweak" really works, tell me why Google - creator of Android, who know everything about Android, why they don't use this tweak on Nexus devices?
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to offend anyone, I'm only telling you my opinion.
Cheers.

-about effects of this tweak go and see people's reports with this patch on other devices forum which has adreno200 as a GPU,and before applying this patch android was using software libs before with a higher propriety than H/W accelerated ones!
-Google doesn't use a lot of optimizations on their nexus devices not even this one(you want an example,with the galaxy nexus they use GPU at @308Mhz instead of 384Mhz which is the default one on Ti-Omap 4460 chips).
-"I lol'd after reading that it will improve sound quality... EGL has nothing to do with sound. NOTHING.",improving sound quality is already reported by thousands of people using this patch with their adreno200 powered devices(they are a lot of devices with adreno200).
-This tweak is used in all versions of the legendary ROM:Android Revolution HD by mike1986. for many HTC devices!

Thank you for the new rom!.. Going to give this a go in a bit
how do I download this ROM? I don't see a link.
Same.. Been waiting on the link but nothing as of yet. Is this just a placeholder??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Sorry about that, had issues with uploading and then had to go to a Thanksgiving party with family lol
Uploading now, should be 25-30 minutes
Finally got it uploaded
A couple known issues-
Texts appear as being sent twice (dont worry they are really only sent once, you can blame koush for making a bad merge on this one lol)
I HIGHLY advise using the banks gapps listed in the op if you plan on using ART, PA gapps tend to cause waves of force closes when used with ART
This includes a cherry pick that is supposed to help with data issues on the toro, however I do not know if it will help toroplus or even break mobile data completely, if so then I'll get right on doing a build without it to see if that helps
This also has lots of cherry picks from other roms aimed at increasing performance and market restore should also work
I don't see the link still. maybe I'm missing something.
I See the link now. THanks!

Its in the op now under downloads for those on tapatalk
or under the downloads tab at the very top if you are on the desktop version of xda since its a DevDB type thread so I can keep track of downloads, have separate tabs for reviews, bug reports, and feature requests, etc
Great ROM. I've had it up and running for about an hour now. Still setting things up the way I like it, but so far very smooth and definitely a daily driver. Great work!
Doors going from 4.3 to 4.4 Chang the file system like going from 4.1 to 4.2 did?

Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk
Nope, the only issues are the stock browser might lag slightly compared to everything else (due to outdated drivers on the gnex)
For the most part the browser lag is extremely slight, you might only notice when trying to fling through a webpage with tons of pictures and videos
Also the new optional ART runtime isnt compatible with a few different apps and is temperamental when it comes to gapps packages (please use the ones in op that say to use with ART if you plan on testing it out)
Other than that, everything should work fine

GPU: 450mhz - 200mhz; msm-adreno-tz
Storage: fiops; 512kb (for both)
These settings are optional:
Display: Black level: 1,56% (max); White: FF F0 FF (for a warmer white point)

What is your basis for screen adjustments? Did you use any tools? Just curious.
@themichael
About the problems with smearing and black crush (and why it can be useful to increase the black level) i would like to quote two explanations:
Slimer777 said:
[...]One thing about the S4 is that the Samsung color profiles will crush everything below 1.5% or someone would call 1.5IRE.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This happens to black level and causes the black crush effect: check here, the first 8 steps are not distinguishable, with the small increase above 1.5% you can almost recognize the first step.
From AndreiLux:
i950X devices have an issue with the AMOLED controller in which, if individial pixels get power-gated for true black, they occur a latency delay when getting powered on again, resulting in a visible smearing effect.
Acts on the black RGB channel filters of the mDNIe engine to elevate pure black to a deep grey. Acts as single control; it acts as a luminosity addend to all greyscale colours in 0.39% steps.
A value of 3 or 4 should be satisfactory to remove the smearing.

Everything else like the white point is only inaccurate measured without proper calibration tools, so this is more or less a personal taste rather than a correct calibration.

Installation process and X-Note Compatibility
Hello gentlemen,
I'm definitely excited & THANKFUL to see a kk kernel finally pop up for Tmo but i'm a little uncertain on the process of installing this kernel. What recovery do i need to flash this kernel. I'm currently running the stock rom wit root access knox is at 0x0 but i just got this Note replaced 4 days ago and i dont want CWM to ruin my phone again . I dont care if i trip knox as long as my phone actually works. The 4.3 to 4.4 jump scares me a bit because of the whole update the bootloader thing.
Long story short. i want to get from this factory stock 4.3 rooted rom over to X-Note 11 (requires 4.4.2) and flash this kernel to complete the system
I'm familiar with Odin tools and zip flashing but not with ADB or scripts/commands. I RARELY post for help lol but always do some heavy research before modding any new phone i get. I have been happily flashing and following devs since 2010!
If anyone can help break down this process for me i'd greatly appreciate it.
i asked for help as well in the Xnote 11 Q&A forum ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666280&page=15
Actual Rom ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472301
Hey folks,
as everyone knows, due to the GPL every company who creates android images is forced to release the kernel source!
I started digging around in the internet and found the sources at Googles git server.
The kernel is based on top of linux kernel version 3.10.x, so here we go:
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/omap/+/android-omap-minnow-3.10-kitkat-wear
After i found and ordered a nice usb connector for my Moto 360 which i got last thursday,
i will start creating custom kernels and port over a modded version of cm
(which may takes a while as i have to create a few interface layouts first! ofcourse whishes and ideas are welcome).
Best regards,
OldDroid
Good luck man!
Oh fun. Huh turns out they lowered the standard fps to 45, and in ambient mode its capped down to 30. For battery I guess.

Hm, why would you need 30fps in the dimmed mode (No seconds had there anyway)?
Or are we talking about the normal screen on state with ambient enabled?
Would lowering this further enhance the battery effiency significantly?

I think he means the normal screen rate is 30fps with ambient enabled...
I wouldn't mind upping the rate to 60fps because the watch last me a full day with plenty battery left over ... This way we can at least have a smoother experience

Yep the panel can definitely do 60fps. According to the source that was what it was originally set to. Wouldn't be too tricky to revert the relevant changes.

Haha, yea that totally makes sense :victory: Did you spot yet which cpu governor we are running on by default?
Userspace. Its probably set in the ramdisk on boot like all the other nexuses. Based on older commits it is probably interactive but you'd have to look at the init files to be sure.
There are a lot of interesting things to tweak here not just frame rate. Gestures and sensitivity, frequencies/scaling/voltages, screen/misc timeouts, lots and lots of stuff can be tweaked with ambient mode - the timeouts, the max brightness for the ULP display state, and so on. Looks like we could even go revert back to "normal" ambient mode for those that want it.
there can be made various battery related changes
maybe i gonna try to implement blx (battery life extender) at the weekend, but we will see
i think some governor tweaks can be done aswell ... (don't know if touch boost interface has been implemented by motorola, will check later)

Sweet thanks for the link. As for features, can't think of much that isn't already handled via setting proc settings (screen off on charge etc), perhaps add an App that can make these configurable via a GUI?
This probably needs messing around with /system, but my biggest annoyance is probably the fact that cards always cover up my analog faces unless I mute, which still adds the mute logo so not the best solution.

Yeah, newer toolchain and some optimizations would really help that old processing in the Moto 360. I just wish we did not have you use a custom cable.
Will it ever be possible root over adb? Or through the NFC charger plugged into a PC?
