[MOD][Photon/Electrify] WaterDrop Detection (Finally DISABLE this "Feature"!!)

**MoonZ*BabysH** · #1 (**permalink**) 04-24-2012, 09:52 PM

Long time no Type guys, I've been over on XDA for a while since the Mopho seems to have a way bigger dev community there but thought i'd start bringing over some stuff back to my Original Geek home

(I copied and pasted this thread of mine from my XDA thread)

I DIDNT CREATE THIS SCRIPT OR THE ZIP SO MAKE SURE TO THANK -
[nok07635] for the Script & [Notorious544d] for the .ZIP in the Atrix forums.

MAKE SURE TO BACK UP ALL YOUR STUFF IN-CASE MURPHY'S LAW COMES A KNOCKIN<<<< I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS MESSES UP YOUR PHONE, YOU KNOW THE DEAL!!!

The Water-Drop detection feature to prevent false touches on the Mopho and Atrix should've never been implemented in the first place. It disables the touch screen for 2 seconds if it detects input for more than about 10 seconds on the screen. Very noticeable when playing games in which the screen is to be pressed for more than a tap such as racing games for acceleration like racingmoto or games like GTAIII where you need to constantly be either walking/running or driving and have the on screen button(s) pressed for extended periods of time. The touch screen would become unresponsive after detecting this "touch" for more than about 10 seconds, thinking its a drop of water on the screen. Then takes a 3 seconds to reset before allowing screen input touches again.

Finally there's a FIX for the so called "feature", YAYERRR!!!!

I Have personally tested this .zip, Flashed in CWM on my MoPho and tested with angry birds (holding the slingshot used to let go when feature kicked in) and also on RacingMoto and can verify that it does indeed work and well might i add.
Im currently running and verified on Skinny complete v1

VERIFY THE MOD WORKED:
To verify that it has worked, download RacingMoto (or play a game you already have installed that you know for sure will have the "FEATURE" activate) and play a couple levels, which will have holding down the gas button. If you're able to make it through the first 2 levels without slowing down or stopping unintentionally, The Raindrop_Fix.zip WORK!!!

IF YOU TRY THIS ON YOUR MOPHO PLEASE:
POST WORKS OR DOESN'T WORK ON THE ROM YOUR ON
ROOTED OR UNROOTED
LOCKED OR UNLOCKED
PLEASE POST WHICH ROM SO WE CAN GET A LIST GOING.

Can anyone who uses Swype confirm Dsparil's impression after the mod?? I don't personally use or like swype so i wouldnt feel the difference if it does indeed make it run smoother.

VERIFIED NOT WORKING ON:
(will update as people post/ hopfully wont have to update this not working list though)

Before i post this on here as a definitely not workin, can someone with a GSM(??) mopho on Cm7 try to reproduce this..
