As the title suggests, i'd like to know where the configuration file(s?) for the trackpad is located (if there is any).
i have a rooted desire z, running virtuous unity 2.39.0. and i'm loving it.
Except for the trackpad speed. i know for sure that it was alot faster on stock, and back then i litterally loved it. now i can hardly use it because it's so slow.
i've already looked in alot of system folders all across my phone, including build.prop and /sys/blablabla and /system/blablabla directories. but none of the files of which i checked seemed to have anything to do with the trackpad.
can i incorporate it in build.prop?
or do i have to make my own configuration files?
any help is greatly appreciated !
Please please post in this thread if you find it. I have been wanting to make the trackpad sensitivity higher since I rooted as well.

Since no-one has tracked this down before, I am guessing the configuration is within the trackpad driver itself ? Just a guess.

just asking, where are the hardware drivers located?
is it in /system/lib or /sys/lib, or perhaps even somewhere else?
and what would the driver be called?
i figured it has to have a .so extension, am i right?
And merry christmas!

Is it at all possible to mod rosie.apk to display in landscape when rotated? I know now the Desire Z has this function. I'm just hoping we can get it to work on our Desires with HD roms (or even without?).
So far i hear that if you modify rosie.apk then you need to resign it. But what if you modify it, then add the modified files from modded rosie.apk to a clean rosie.apk. Would that still break the signature?
Also mentioned is that it will only work if it detects that the hardware keyboard has been slid out. I'm sure there must be a way to "lie" to the launcher when it hits landscape mode to think the keyboard is always out?
I'm looking for thoughts on this from anyone but especially people who know what they are doing. I have decompiled rosie.apk and haven't a clue where to start. Just having a look at all the .smali files has headfucked me.
Thanks.
Some interesting info on the subject.

(please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm still pretty new to android)
I was thinking exactly the same.
I don't think you can replace modded files in rose.apk, because they would be signed different and cause rosie to crash...
The "lie" option is a possibility I think.. But we would have to make a widget to switch.... or a set vice which checks the phone's orientation and changes the value when the phone is turned.

I was using Apk manager yesterday and I saw an option for modding system .apk.s and keeping them signed if that helps with the signing.

I don't think the problem is just signing rosie.apk i think if you re-sign rosie you need to resign all of its widgets and other .apks it uses.
I think the best option would maybe "tricking" the phone into believing the Android keyboard (hardware) is open. We would probably need a Desire Z port in that case too doh!

Just pushed Z's Rosie.apk in my HD rom, and as expected, the result was a bootloop
This means that even if the Rosie.apk will be successfully modified, it will only run on a Desire Z Rom, unless someone manages to mix those two Rosie.apk's (the one from the HD rom and from the Z rom) up and makes them work.
Pardon me if I am wrong, but ephumuris I think this Landscape Rosie is associated with the sliding keypad of Desire Z. Isn't so ? Well if we start modding it, wouldn't it happend that we got remove and add many associations of Rosie specially related to Hardware and furthermore we will have to associate the Hardaware sliding rotation to the Accelometer Sensor. I think it's quite painful task.

No, apparently if someone works out a way to trick the desire into thinking it has a slide out keyboard that has been activated then it could work. The other problem is that a lot of other.apks have to modified for the landscape feature, its a complicated task.

Hi everyone,
I though it'd be helpful to at least attempt to centralize the discussion on this, since everything's a little spread out. To summarize what I think we know so far:
1) Netflix streaming DOES NOT WORK on our G2 when running CM7-stable.
2) Netflix streaming DOES work on a G2 running stock 2.2.
3) Netflix streaming DOES work on a G2 running CM7-RC2.
4) Netflix streaming DOES work on other devices running CM7-stable.
5) Netflix streaming DOES work on UNSUPPORTED devices running CM7-stable, such as the Nook Color, when the build.prop is spoofed to replicate OUR PHONE.
Given the above facts, I thought it would be appropriate to submit this to bug tracker. If you think it deserves it, you can star the issue here - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3723. I also think that if possible, further discussion should happen within this specific topic (or some other centralized one), so that people aren't out of luck by not happening to find the one topic in a dozen where progress was made.
I played a video using my nook, then tried with the G2, and collected logs via DDMS. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to filter just for errors or not, so I didn't - these are the raw log files, attached here.
EDIT - I had to save the G2 log in word, because it was too big of a .txt file.
hmm.. i tried Netflix on my G2 lastnight after reverting to CM7 RC2 and had the same problem. I'll try again tonight though, this time i'll uninstall the app, clear cache and flash CM7 RC2 and then reinstall app
I thought I read somewhere that people were saying it DOES work on the leaked T-Mobile Gingerbread build for G2. So it's something directly related to CM7 itself. I'm running nightly 74 and it does not work.

I've actually tried it on the leaked Gingerbread ROM and it didn't work there either. It did however give me a blank white screen instead of a black screen though. I have gotten it to work on my G2 on both stock 2.2 and CM6. I also have a Defy running CM7 (not a stable build) and it works perfectly on it. It's got to be some combination of Gingerbread and the G2.

Yes, this is exactly why. Not sure the exact reason why. Nexus one and nexus s are only ones that work on gingerbread.
Does anyone have a prop file for the nexus one running android 2.3? Maybe that would work for us the same way the g2 prop file worked for g2x users?

Been stated by people in the know (not me), that it's not a build/identifying issue. It's a rom issue. The rom developer will have to re-work the rom.

Well, might be, but just sounds odd that people are using the g2 build.prop to get Netflix working on other devices not even supported by Netflix yet. I'm not saying its the build.prop and certainly sounds like a ROM issue but that just strikes me as odd.

I have DDMS open while I run the app and try to play something, and just note where the app starts and stops by watching then export the relevant parts.
It's too long for either of those file type, but .docx is the default from word, if you can't open it on your laptop then I bet google docs could do it if you save then upload it.

After comparing the logs of my N1 and G2, it seems as if the G2 cyanogen build does not have the drm. When the G2 Netflix app goes to check OMXCORE it returns drm_play not available, whereas the N1 checks out fine and get a bunch of OMXCORE checks.
Also if I'm not mistaken, the G2 (and many other phones) does not officially have gingerbread yet so it only makes sense that 2.2 is the prereq for all the non-nexus phones.
So it would make sense for it to work on other devices that had the DRM, if you just simply changed the build.prop id's
I posted this elsewhere, but I thought it would be useful to put it here to. The Dropbox link is a .txt, btw.
In regards to the problems we have been having with netflix, I have a logcat. This was obtained with Catlog, and was recording from the time I started the app to when I was returned to the menu after the movie crashes. Its a Dropbox link, here ya go: http://db.tt/vPp12DT
There is one thing in there that worries me, and I think its what's causing the error. This error right here:

you can find the it for Sense 2.1 over on Miks site.Nandroid and try it.Worst case,youll have to do a batt pull. Also,i think most people have been using Widgetsoid for the power controls in the drop down,if the mod works for 3.0.

Is it possible to have the stock 2.3 lock screen minus the text? I would love to have just the slide lock/silence and my background, zip download would be fine, but I would love to learn how to do it myself.
Anyone? I would expect at least at a sarcastic comment but nothing at all?
The only way I know to modify the lock screen is with a application, such as WidgetLocker...They have a default option for a Sense lockscreen, but I've never tried it (I'm an AOSP man personally)
The uot kitchen might be able to do this. I personally know nothing about it, but I've heard people talk about the wonders it works. Google is your friend in this case, I think.

I know CCName can change your carrier text and, therefore, you can make it blank. I don't know how to change the other ones though. Does Sense use a Clocktopia font? If so, you could probably make a "blank" font.

well, start by setting up either a linux partition, or install cygwin (you need the custom one in the dsixda kitchen thread) and setting up your kitchen, but for the most par, just make sure you are trying to port a non-sense rom with a sense base, or vise-versa
Also, always replace /system/usr and /system/bin/akmd
but you will figure out what else on your own

It also appears that they had it working for the Legend in v2.0.1 so that could be the easiest port if you do decide to tackle it. (The Legend is nearly identical to our Espresso if I am remembering correctly)
v3.0 was available for the Wildfire and the Salsa, and since we have a working port of Salsa, that may help as well (for either the 3.0 or 2.0.1).

Have u tried a different cable? Does the phone start charging when u plug it into the PC? if u just want to transfer files u can try an app like SwiFTP from the market. I believe there are also ways to run adb over wifi, but ive never looked into it so not totally sure bout that. Did u check to make sure in settings that its not set to Charge Only?

This all started to happen with the original cord that came with the phone but I will try different cords just too see if I can get it to work.
