Isn't there a fix for multi-touch axis flipping

Now Google maps 5 is out and rotation dosent work, I was wondering about it and remembered that a website had said a member of cyanogen had fixed the axis flipping on the nexus I don't know if this was true, any idea ???

I seem to also remember something about this...?

Jesus, Google says that his beloved N1 doesn't support it and you want a fix. Here+s a fix : sell the Desire and get a phone with the full multitouch capable panel.

A colleague of mine has a Desire with a rooted ROM (a Sense 2 one) and the rotation works.
So yes, there is a fix.
I hope that HTC will officially release a (Sense 2) upgrade for the Desire, and that will contain the fix, I don't feel like rooting.

O rly.
FYI Sense 2 is the version that shipped with Desire. If you mean the newer Sense, that's on the Desire HD, that's Sense 3.
Which ROM is that again ? And please let him install http://www.appbrain.com/app/multitouch-visualizer-2/org.metalev.multitouch.visualizer2 and make a vid of the "fix".

Maybe Google maps thinks the phone supports multitouch as its a dhd rom and activates the option to use rotate. Rotate should still work...but because of the dual touch 'bug' it will get it wrong some of the time.

Yeah, I remember reading about a fix included in the core, but it was disabled. How would I enable it?

Can't we get the apk which is getting installed on the DHD?

I've read about this after some issues with Nova, which I guess is why it isn't supported anyway. The screen itself is not multi-touch and is apparently dubbed "double-touch" and the axis switching is hardware related, however there is a setting buried somewhere in the Android SDK that was designed to only be enabled for a certain device. Enabling it on the Desire, however, was supposed to alleviate some of the issues with axis-switching, although not a total fix. It was mentioned that CM had this setting enabled on their ROMs for Desire, but whether that is still the case I cannot say. This is just from memory, I'll have to do a bit more digging to refresh my memory.
EDIT: Asked around on the CM IRC and that particular 'feature' was indeed pulled, however was reinstated a few days ago, so probably only on the nightlies for the moment.
EDIT 2: Flashed a CM nightly and it doesn't appear to have made matters any better

Yes the multitouch is indeed enabled in maps on dhd roms, but the problem is not fixed. You can easily see, when your cross the axis with your fingers, and it definately still doesn't work well.

Yes, this issue is very irritating when playing games like SliceIt as well.

The touchscreen hardware is only capable of determining the rectanlge containing the 2 touched points.

If the desire screen is capable of detecting two fingers as long as they don't cross on the y and x axis, two finger rotation should be more than possible on google maps just as long as you keep the rotation no larger that 90 degrees between the y and x axis and even then it should only cause a "hickup" in the rotation so although it won't be great, if active, it should be ok for use!

The two touches is not what bothers me it is the axis flipping that's annoying I will try to flash a nightly and will see what happens.

There's a nexus one two finger fix. Don't know of adesire port of it.
In nexus one development section.
Desire is the source of all suffering.

Has anyone found a fix for multitouch on the desire yet?
i found a link(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767654&page=4) to another post on fixing multitouch on an acer liquid sharing drivers for developers, so can people please take a look and see if something can be done for the desire?
thanks in advance

Have you read the lasts posts in the thread you quote ?

[Problem] Photo/Camera

Hello everybody,
I have three annoying problems with my camera.
First :
Sometimes, when I take a photograph, the phone loads the gallery just after and don't save the shot which I just take.
Second :
Sometimes, the picture is wrong.
I mean : When I take a photograph, in preview, the picture is good, but when I go to the gallery, the picture has a problem.
I can't describe it in English, but I have a example of the wrong picture here with.
Third :
When I am in the camera application, or in preview, the phone "block". I can't do nothing with it, only remove the battery for restart it...
I have the Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.3 ROM at the moment, but had this problem with old version of the ROM too.
I changed the radio yesterday to see if probems come from that, but it doesn't change anything.
Radio now : 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08
Radio before : 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Other info :
hboot Cm7r2
And my girlfriend has the three problems too with her Desire
Thanks for your help
Luc

I have the "second" problem , too , but rarely.. and another one : i use Runny ROM and the camera effects don't work (like the one with points, distorsing,etc.). Is something wrong with the rom, or this works just with cm7r2... ?
Thanks for help

i've heard of this issue before somewhere i think it's the roms issue
i had something like this on the htc dev rom occasionally when i took pics with the stock cam . do you get the same result with another rom eg non sense ?

Thanks for your help,
I will try with a AOSP ROM, and try to found the problem in the ROM issues.
Luc

I had the same problem in the ROM ICS, but switched to back to GB and everything works the best.
If this is Runnymede, it probably re-install the ROM fix this problem.
BTW: I recommend you RUNNY ROM v5.0

I had the second problem after 2 months of InsertCoin 1.1.4.
I switched to RunnymedeMOD007 and that problem stopped.
Also my pictures where low quality and I cleaned the plastic in the back cover with a little toothpaste to remove some residue of the anti-reflection layer that wore of.
Maybe those residue in some light environments helped in the distortion of some pictures like the one you sent.

Hmm ok,
I have tried to uninstall the HTC camera and to reinstall it.
Uninstall was OK
But didn't reinstall...
So I download a other camera in the market, pugging camera, a bit slower but worked perfectelly.
This afternoon, I had installed the RunnyRom V5.5
So, I will now try with it.
Thanks for your reply

camera problem
Hi,
I have all of those mentioned problems in first post. Stripe in the picture (I saw, that occurred just with zoom+), freezing phone after took the picture (this one is reaaaally annoying for me)... I had them in Runnymed AIO last 2-3 versions so I was thinking reinstall to RunnyRom will help me. But not... All mention reoccurred and new one is that after the picture is took, preview friezed, picture is not saved and only Home button works to go out from camera app. Did anyone solved this problem with camera? Why this happening?
Another problem a had with RannyMed AIO was that, phone randomly friezed and restarted. This occurred when browsing web, chatting on gTalk, using Sygic Aura navigation... really annoying... I thing this was caused by overheating, but I'm not sure... I have RunnyRom 6.1.1 just 2nd day, so for now happened just problem with camera...
Any suggestions?
thank you.

Hi,
I didn't resolve the problem.
I just install a other ROM, like Runny ROM

camera problem
Hi Luc,
Which one you're using? Do you have any similar problem?
thx

I'm using this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526831
I think, the ROM isn't supported anymore (or less upgarde), but have no problem with it.
Good rom for me, I wouldn't change for the moment

You should try resetting the standard value in your cams menu. This solves most of the freezing issues.

Hello winesh,
Thanks for suggestion but what exactly you mean with "try resetting the standard value in your cams menu"

Yeah, I've got that problem too... I'll just look up a new ROM when I've got the time. I've tried installing a new camera app from the Play Store and the problem persisted.

[Q] My Xperia S camera stopped focusing at all!

Hi Guys, can any one help me? It was working fine 2 days ago, But it stopped focusing at all.
Does it relates to any physical damage to device as my device slipped out of my hand 2 days ago but i am not sure that it stopped working at that time.

Hmm...you didn't give us enough info.
Are you on stock ICS?
What app do U use. ( stock cam or something else?)
Try to install some other cam app from market, if focus works at least you'll know it's not a hardware issue.
If U're on cyanogen mod, the focus problem exist, it's already confirmed.
But only on video rec.
I suppose U checked settings and you're not using infinity focus... If so then change to auto or something diferent and then try.

[Q] Camera issue M8 (no lastpass...)

Hello all,
First post, sorry its a question..
The back camera on M8 is making strange pictures, if any at all (see attachment).
Front camera is working fine.
Got my M8 for 1 year now, never had problems with the camera.
mm-qcamera-daemon is running high on batt usage.
Stock camera app will most of the time open and then close again, sometimes i can make strange pictures like above.
I don't have an other camera app running
It's rooted and i'm running
InsertCoin version 3.0.8
Android 4.4.2
HTC sense v6.0
HTC SDK API 6.17
I do know there are a lot of updates from the above versions. But its running so wel all these time that i don't need a upgrade (still up to 5 days on a full batt :good
I did clear the cache from the camera app, I don't have lastpass installed.
Does anyone seen a picture like this (except from a good/bad trip)? And how did they fix it.
All input is appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.

One of two things is going on. Either the camera module has gone bad OR you dont have the correct software to run the camera or that software has gone corrupt.
I see your running a custom rom so my suggestion would be go back to complete stock and re-test. If it fails its a hardware issue.

Thanks for your answer.
Do you have any clue if the same software is used for the front and back camera? Front is working perfect so that would mean a hardware issue.
I will start with returning to stock, quickest way to see if it's hardware related.

The camera modules are different. Back has ultra pixel and front is a megapixel.
Since its easier to change software it makes sense to go back to complete stock for testing. Then if it still fails its probably hardware.
