Nook screen recalibrate

Hey guys,
Just to let you know there is an application out there now to take care of force recalibration of the screen.
When I first got my nook I know it didn't register touch properly, so I ran some commands and it started working fine.
Decided I should make my first app something that helps people, so here you go. Checkout "nook screen recalibrate". It's a simple minimalistic application the re calibrates then reboots
Updated Version 2.0
* Better GUI
* Button to start process
* Lowered MinSDK to support froyo (untested)

Here's the market link.
Helpful since you don't have enough posts to post links yet. But thanks for this app!

Ironically when I go to the link and try to push it to my NC, it says it's not compatible. :X

Fine print mentions that is only works with GB (android 2.3 and above).

yep.. i dont think any rom uses anything lower than that

is it different from this app:

The nookie froyo is based on 2.2.
If your software doesn't require 2.3 functionality, can you lower the required API to '7', which is the stock Android API level (2.2/Froyo)?

I think it should work. I shall reduce the requirements.
However there is no way to check cause my touch is working perfect now
However I find it performs better slightly if I do this once a week

Strange, I had reduced the minimum requirements
I have no other froyo device to test on, let me check once again against an emulator

Ok maybe this is in my head, but if I run this every couple nightlies, touch feels slightly better and responsive.
Maybe it's the nightly, maybe the way it interacts, maybe the screen de sensitises over time, maybe it's all in my head
If anyone cares to do some testing, that would be great

This may sound crazy but after running this I think that the screen is actually leases responsive and now shows the "ghost" touches so badly that the on screen keyboard isn't usable. Is there something to do to fix this?

Try cleaning your screen prior to running the application, make sure you don't touch the screen prior to restarting

[Q] Motorola Droid 3 Green Screen Issue

I have been noticing a weird thing with my Droid 3. I love the phone. I haven't had any issues. I do get this annoying green screen effect during transitions. It only seems to happen if I have Netflix or Youtube running in the background. I can fix the problem by going into my settings and turning off my screen animations. I am in the process of getting it exchanged. I will let you know if it is just a fluke or maybe a possible issue with the phone software.
Is this happening to anyone out there with a Droid 3?
video coming soon. Still uploading

I have the same problem between screen changes
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App

My wifes did that too, but she was using just texts. I turned off animations and to save battery, and noticed it hadn't come back yet. Thought maybe I was only one
Edit: she says it still does it...hmmm dunno...hope it gets fixed in next update
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA Premium App

tried to replicate the problem on mine, but didn't have any issues. Hmm.

Green is usually an overlay color when drawing from a framebuffer. This just means something is forcing screen output before the frame is fully drawn. It's an out-of-sync drawing issue somewhere in the software or driver and isn't a hardware problem. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it happens so often that it annoys you. It's not hurting anything.

I've seen this as well with youtube...I've also seen it show a partial view of my homescreen while transitioning between menus....not a big deal, but hopefully it'll get fixed soon

Happened to my wifes and my phone today. Kept going to green screen when trying to open the camara app. Had to reboot to make it go away. Im also on my third droid 3 phone. First one scratched the paint finish next to the keyboard when sliding open. The second droid 3 the speaker sounded like it was shorting out when calling or talking to someone.

I had this problem, it went away after a reboot. Haven't seen it since.

Have you tried rebooting the phone, instead of getting it replaced? A reboot can work wonders.

wife's phone did this while in camera mode. looked lik she was peering into the matrix. rebuffer or not, it's an obvious software glitch. i factory reset her phone so that vzw would log the activation.

Yeah, a stuck app that is unable to redraw will do the same thing but instead of a flash it's a permanent green-screen until the app is force closed or the phone is rebooted. I've had the camera do this to me a few times and Motorola has already come forward saying the camera app has problems, including this one, that they're working on.

i could live with an occasional software glitch if everythign wasn't so dammed slow. i've yet to see this phone actually perform a function faster than my D2. the software overhead is unbelievable.

Well we could be in luck, it looks like root on the D3 could very likely happen sometime this week. 2.3.4 has been successfully rooted with the phone already on 2.3.4 and the bootloader still locked. We have P3 all over it now, too.

Not a huge issue, just a lil annoying.

[REQ] Rotation Animation

The gist is: Is it possible to make a Captivate do this? I know that just about every Motorola android has a nice little reorienting animation when you turn it over. We (and by "we" I mean "you geniuses who know what the hell you're doing") managed to implement the now standard crt screen-off animation. Any chance at getting the "flip?"

Does this need to be built into a rom? Or is there a flashable mod or DIY guide that I'm unaware of?
Sidenote: I love your work, Logic. I do flash your roms. I've just never seen (or don't recall) an animation for switching back and forth between portrait and landscape.
Sent from parts unknown.

LostLogic is talking about something completely different, IE the transitions between apps or pop ups.
As for your question, ICS has it (running it right now) so you can flash an ICS ROM like the team hacksung one. I'm running that right now and it has the aforementioned animation.

Right on, Mike. How is that as a daily driver for a casual user (as in I don't use my phone for all it can do)? Just calls, text, web browsing and some games. I've read the thread, but it's pretty conflicted in terms of reviews. Your take? Or anyone else's for that matter?
Sent from parts unknown.

I've personally been on Build 6 of Teamhacksung's ICS for a couple days and I've had no blaring issues. I use my phone pretty much same as you, based on your description. Definitely loving ICS so far.

How is the battery life on the ICS port? Same as CyanogenMod?

I agree. I started right around build 4 or 5 I think and I haven't looked back. Ics is just so worth not having video recording right now.

Hmmm, strange.. Did some Googling and found some interesting stuff. Anyway, I see that you are from India too. Take it to an hTC center, and ask them to look into it. It might be some issue with the phone's hardware. If the service center's guy is not bright enough to check if your phone is s-off, you might get lucky

I've got the same freeze issue....tried replacing digitizer, didn't help. Tried various ROMS, didn't help.
Have you tried a non-Sense ROM? I thought I tried that, and it didn't help either

Bringing up an older thread, but I have found a partial solution for my screen freeze issues. This was posted on another forum, so I can't take credit.
Download SGS booster and set to optimized. Slide top three sliders all the way to the left, and bottom two sliders all the way to the right, and apply.
I seem to have way less freezes with this active.
Before doing this i replaced LCD and digitizer, new ROMs (both Sense and AOSP), and nothing made a difference, so I am fairly happy that this software has improved my phone.
Anf no, I am not affiliated, just a user that seems to have been successful with an issue by using this software. There might be other software which does the same thing also, idk.

I had same touch problem and hanging problem.
It's the motherboard problem.
I took it to HTC care center and reported the problem.
Also added a few problem on my own like..AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHING OFF..UNABLE TO ACCEPT CALLS.
They replaced my piece (except back cover, camera and battery).
Try reporting to HTC Care center. :good:

[ZIP][MOD] Increase touch responsiveness

Fist off, huge thanks to these people:
-Ryuinferno - His init.d on any device method
-Matt on code.google.com - Old touch driver and temp install method
Disclaimer:
-I am not responsible for any damage this may cause.... (You've seen this a billion times so I'll leave it at that)
NOTE: This mod causes touch to be unresponsive for about 30 seconds on boot up!
What this does:
-Enables init.d by adding a command into install-recovery.sh to run anything in /system/etc/init.d (method by Ryuinferno)
-Extracts the E015 driver to /system for safe keeping and script usage (E015 is a downgrade of the touch driver that senses touch better)
-Adds an init.d script that changes the touchscreen driver to E015 on every boot (driver supplied by Matt and so was the temp-replace method. It runs his method on every boot essentially.)
-Sends log to /data/Driver.log so user can check proper installation if desired
The advantage of using this over using a kernel with E015 in it is that it does not mess with custom recovery touch sensing.
Instructions:
-THIS WILL NOT WORK UNLESS BUSYBOX IS INSTALLED! You can install it with this app.
-Download the zip from here
-Flash it in a custom recovery. If you don't know how to flash a recovery / root / flash a zip, there are plenty of tutorials floating around.
If you want to undo this:
-Flash this zip through recovery.
Enjoy!

thanks.. works well but the disadvantage of this is that everytime you reboot your phone is not responsive for 5 - 10 seconds.
Touch is far more sensitive. I can no longer rest my finger on the home button without it triggering although PSR values are still the same with lowest I got being 0.36
also can you please provide a revert .zip to remove all changes? I don't want to have to reflash my ROM if I no longer want the mod. Thanks.

Thanks for this. I'll wait for a revert as this hasn't been much of a concern for me since I got used to it, but it's great to see this development today. I'm sure a number of folks are thrilled.
Just to confirm, this would qualify as an add-on to any kernel, correct? I noticed you mentioned the advantage of this over kernels with the new sensitivity but reading on your description it appears this will not replace your kernel?

It's not a kernel, it's essentially a script that runs on boot.
Revert going up in the next hour

Not only does e015 fix the touchscreen responsiveness, it also fixes the issue where if the phone is connected to an a/c powered usb port, the touchscreen responsiveness is even more degraded.

yea but I've noticed a few bugs with it already (touch being registered as pressed for about 4 seconds longer than my finger) as well as it is making my swiftkey lag behind so I'll probably revert until an official fix is in the works/made.

Tested out and as someone who hasn't had much of an issue with the reduced sensitivity, this is awesome. No issues with SwiftKey or anything either.
I am however unresponsive for about 10s after boot, not a big deal though.

This made mine unresponsive for around 30 seconds, it's random also, and makes the touchscreen unresponsive in recovery for around a minute.
Doesn't really seem to make any difference to the sensitivity on my phone either so I guess different phones have different sensitivity? Or I don;t notice the difference.
Using the revert zip didnt do anything so I had to revert to a nandroid backup.

Definitely feels like its improved! Hopefully its not just placebo

Checked the PRS readings and got 0.3-0.5 instead of the usual 0.5-0.6. I'm also using a screen protector that's real thick. All is well!

I checked mine as well, still mostly in 5s but a few in the 3s. Even the 5 presses would've never registered in the past, huge difference.

This is awesome! It's absolutely more sensitive than stock. Taps are still in the .50's a lot, but I can get them in the .20's. However, ignoring the numbers, the absolute lightest taps are now registering so I'm thrilled with this
Thanks OP!
EDIT: Also, it's so sensitive that I can use my fingernail to tap and swipe (I'm a guy with short nails, so this wouldn't work for someone with longer nails). Even still, such a big difference because this wasn't possible with the original driver.

A few questions...
1) Does the "undo" zip work?
2) Okay to use with any ROM, correct (running stock 4.2.1 odexed)
3) OP: Any idea on the temporary freeze at each initial boot?

If im not reading this wrong, the "fix" uses an OLDER driver ? (i find it funny each time something is fixed by going back in time)
