3D/Force Touch on Oneplus 3? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Was wondering if there was any way to enable 3D/Force Touch on Oneplus 3. Preferably not requiring Xposed as I'm on Nougat and Xposed doesn't support Nougat yet... :good:

Nope. Don't act stupid, that's a hardware thing you want...

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.

Multi-Touch on Vogue?

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655830
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.

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?

multi touch fix for desire?

Hey guys wondering all these Rom makers or Google/htc made any multi touch fix?
With all the custom kernels and open source roms, has any developer attempted to fix this issue?
Would like to play games without on screen keyboard issues due to multi touch, this also affects typing fast.
Thanks
Hardware not software please do some research
Thanks. So does the s-lcd have the same issues?

the type of screen does not make a difference its the bit that lets the phone detect touch that is the issue here.
All HTC devices detect only one touch, and then detect the "size" of that touch which allows it to have pinch zoom when it detects a change in the size.
It cannot detect 2 individual touches.
please delete

Wait a minute, the Desire does have a basic multi touch digitiser... pinch to zoom in the browser etc. proves this. The EVO guys have developed a multi touch keyboard fix btw

you obviously didn't read what I just posted then.
It cannot touch 2 different touches at one, it detects one LARGE touch when two fingers are on, and then when you "pinch" it detects the size of that LARGE touch getting bugger or smaller.
Search for "Multitouch Visible Test" in the market.
That is an app for displaying the detected finger touches.

the desire dosent have multi touch, but dual touch instead, the issues people are having with games is beacause the desire gets confused When two fingers are placed close to each other or they cross the same axis because the data points get flipped, this is because of the way dual touch works, When you touch the screen with two fingers one by one, you get three points of reference: 1) Fixed Point – location of first finger, 2) Real Point – hardware detection point when two fingers are placed and 3) Fake Point – location of second finger. Interestingly, the hardware does not ‘know’ about this position – instead it is calculated by the application.
Is this translated in a hardware level or just driver?

And as mentioned you are wrong, as the desire do detect 2 points/fingers. Any multitouch test app from the market will show that.

no, what we have said is correct, the apps show an output but its not true multitouch.
All you have to do is try any multitouch app and do a google search to see all deivces up until now (after desire) made by HTC have dual touch, not multitouch
basically speaking it can detect certain multitouch gestures but not everything.
well i can play sonic and a load of other games and snesoid on the genisoid with run and jump buttons together, which tells me it's at least dual touch, to be honest the screen isnt really big enough to get 3 or 4 fingers on it properly and see what you are doing anyway

or just search on youtube, loads have been done already.
I am not on about the lack of multitouch, there is a bug with two points with two near x, or y, axis points; they join together for some strange reason.
Link to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noQBUDy-WCQ
This is why multitouch keyboards dont work and there are problems with the PSX4droid emulator when having both dpad and control buttons on top or both on bottom.
I read somewhere that there was code in Android for a that filtered the Droid's multitouch results, that results in the Droid not having the axis flipping issue (does still have the sticking issue when close). Is there any way this code can be implemented on the Desire?
I think a developer called Phhusion on the Acer liquid forum in Modaco solved this software wise.

Google Maps for Mobile v5 - Desire not supported?

It seems that the desire won't be supported, but I hope that list is not final.
There are very similar devices (eg. HTC Incredible) so maybe they just forgot about the Desire

I think we'll see an update, just not the full feature update. Same as the Nexus 1
I think the 3D tilt view will not be fully supported on the Desire/N1 due to the multi-touch issue. The main thing is the offline caching and we will get it.
Ye only thing is the multitouch bug that will make some of the tilting quite difficult.
Yes the Nexus one and the Desire have a poor Touch Panel, so altho it will get Google maps 5 You won't be able to rotate the Maps with a gesture (Although it SHOULD be able to do a pivot gesture according to its specification), The Droid incredible has a different Touch panel, which although still only Dual touch, handles that gesture fine without buggyness.
There is no "multitouch bug", the Desire supports pinch to zoom, not multitouch.
Working as designed.

As you said 3 posts up, the Droid has a different touch panel and has more features. Its not a bug, its a limitation. The panel does as it was advertised to do...pinch gestures.
Yes, the axes swap and the points stick together when on close x or y, but this doesn't stop it from doing its job, pinch gestures work fine with these limitations, therefore, not a bug.
The only advertised feature is pinch to zoom, which is working as designed.
Calling the lack of multitouch support a bug is the as same as calling the lack of face camera a bug... ;-)

But as I said in the same post, The touch panel in the desire is advertised to be able to do the gestures needed (both Pivot and rotate) and to close proximity, the phone is incapable of doing these and exhibits strange behaviours when you do them, thats bugginess to me, at worst its a defect, not a limitation.

Its not working as designed, it was designed to do more, it cant for one reason or another, HTC messed up by putting it in the Nexus one and the Desire, thats why we have touch sensitive screen or Pitch to Zoom in brackets, but I'm talking about what the Digitizer manufacturers say it can do.
In your scenario it would be a phone having a camera and a flash in your phone, but to take a picture with a flash doesn't work, then calling it a video light....
I agree that not having real multitouch support is annoying, but you bought this device knowing this.
If you didn't know, you should probably take the habit to read some reviews before buying something...

I was actually using the ""Impersonal You"
Where is here the problem? The list is so short that not only the Desire is missing but many other devices which also have or not any multitouch bug
The whole thing bugs me, so it must be a bug...
its so sad that desire isn't in the list ...
Calm down, someone will make it work, whether it comes to the Desire officially or not.
The Desire's touch panel has an issue where it gets confused if you cross an axis with two fingers at once.
This means the rotating gesture will not work reliably, because if you cross an axis with two fingers at the same time, the map will rotate in the wrong direction.
Everything else should work and I think the issue is a rather small one, so most likely all we need is the .apk (if it doesn't get released for the Desire anyway).
There are apps out that show you what the touch sensor is seeing, where it will register multiple touched locations, but only two actually do anything at the same time. If you put three fingers on it, it will show all three, but if you try to move, only two will show the sliders for each finger moving.
Also, if you try to use two fingers, one at 2 o'clock and one at 7 o'clock, and rotate them clockwise, when they are at the 12/6 or 9/3 axis, the circles at your fingers switch with each other and it acts up.
I agree how some see it as a bug, but I would have to say it is just a limitation due to what our device was designed with. (A black and white TV can't show color picture, it's a hardware limitation, not a bug)
I wonder if something along the lines of the hack that allows single-touch displays to be able to use dual-touch would work to allow dual-touch to use multi-touch...thereby allowing GM5 to work without issue?

Motorola touchless control APK

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

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.

Question FaceID for pixel 6 pro?

Hi, i was wondering if its possible to port the face recognition option we used to have on older android versions as a mod on the pixel 6 pro. I believe they used the front camera.
Are there any accuracy problems associated with using front camera?
I just needed a faster option to unlock at work as my hands get kinda dirty and the FP sensor on pixel 6 is sensitive to dust unlike the one on my pixel 3 XL (RIP legend).
If there is a solution that exists already, please forgive my naivety and point me to the thread/discussion for it. Thank you!
I don't think there is currently a solution and I doubt there will be unless Google includes it later.
Can you use smart unlock, with your works WiFi? Or location unlock if it has that?
There were reports that FaceID is in the code, but that it was not used on the P6 because it drains the battery. Since the battery is not great as is, I can see the point. I also wonder how secure it is, as Apple uses dedicated hardware to ensure security (thus the notch), but Google seems to rely on the camera alone -- I assume it's a more secure unlock than the totally inon-secure fake FaceID unlocks on many Chinese phones, like Xiaomi.
On another note, I am trying to use my Garmin watch as a trusted device, but about half the time it doesn't work and the phone would ask for PIN. The trusted device implementation, at least with a watch, is kind of a joke, so I am thinking of disabling it at this point.
I am using Trusted Location. Seems like its working fine. Google 'begs' to have you turn 'on' location function for several of its niceties to work. So security joins the growing pile.

Trusted location is poor security, for many reasons.
Anyone at the location can unlock your phone, so for most of us it's not a solution.

Was about to say this. Wifi/Location unlocking when at work is not a good idea.
There is a reason why we lock our phones, and no human is perfect - you might forget it for a moment, or get distracted - whatever.
If someone doesn't care for security in any way (I am perfect & my phone will 24/7 stay on me, no matter what) then he/she/is doesn't need any sort of security active in the first place.

It can certainly be done, but you'll have to write some of the code for it yourself. There are a number of open source facial recognition packages available that you can leverage for this.

Nononono, wrong approach. You do NOT want to bypass phone security. You want to integrate into it. Android is an open source operating system, just find the code where the 4 included unlock mechanisms are defined (swipe/pattern/pin/password), and add your own in the same way.

Fax cus I'm sure that "don't turn off screen if I'm looking at it" feature uses battery and it's ALWAYS ON when you're on your phone if you turn it on. Face ID only on when you use it, how can that even affect battery ?

Yes that is a better way of looking at it. Thank you for the insight!

Root option to enable a Quick Setting to enable/disable lock - if that's possible?

That would basically mean i have no security when i disable it, only that i would be able to do so faster haha

Fax cus I'm sure that "don't turn off screen if I'm looking at it" feature uses battery and it's ALWAYS ON when you're on your phone if you turn it on. Face ID only on when you use it, how can that even affect battery ?

Yeah but it would only be looking for one thing. Maybe all the battery used on image processing for FaceID adds up over the many unlocks during the course of the day. Thats why i am keen to have it enabled only while I'm at work as the FP works fine in all other circumstances.
