[Q] Multitouch? - Nook Color General

So, I bought my NC today and the I absolutely love it. As soon as I got it I rooted it and all. Everything was working fine until I noticed one issue, the multi touch is only registering two points. I even tried multi touch tester and only two points work at a time . Google searches don't bring up much so I have to ask is this a defected NC, is there some step I need to take to activate it, or do they all only have two point multitouch?
This and the lack of bluetooth would lead me to return it to get an archos 70.
Thanks in advance and merry christmas.

I haven't tried it yet, but maybe this is what you are looking for?

Thanks for the quick reply, I am dead tired right now(past 1 am est) so I'll have to try this when I wake up.

If I'm not mistaken, I think that's installed along with auto-nooter, and changes it from no multi-touch to 2-point multi-touch.

Hello!
Anyone know if there is a Stock exchange application on the Touch Diamond?
Just like the one in the IPhone.

Im getting used to that response. Theres simply nothing new these days that works WITH the Diamonds VGA screen rather than against it.
Im seriously beginning to wonder why I bought a Diamond.

Okay so whats the solution for the stock exchange app then? There isnt one.
There are no damn apps being developed anymore for WM especially on high end VGA devices.
I too would like a decent stock exch app.. if im moaning over nothing, point me in the right direction and i'd gladly shut up
Well it wasn't a good app.I better just wait for a better app to come a long.

I can only see about 1/2 of the cells vertically. I guess it only works if you reduce your text size in windows... but then the phone itsn't finger friendly anymore.
yes,i also have that problem.
Try this:

I used on my Kaiser and use in my Diamond...
Works perfect.
It has only one issue...
SOmetimes, when you starts the program, there is a fade on the screen... But you have only to press the power button twice and the programs goes well...
Would be great if HTC Home has a tab for stock exchange and share price update. HTC did it for weather, why stop there. Stock price should be next.
Yes,i agree. Hopfully a application that will work perfectly with the TouchFLO 3D.
Stock App Think Anywhare
I use Think Anywhere from Think Or Swim, its pretty cool, but is more than just quotes, Its a whole trading platform. Need subscription, but no deposit requiredment. You can do Paper trading with it.

Phone bogged down by touch input?

Ok.. So I searched a while, and I'm not sure if I was just using the wrong terms, but I couldn't get a result that answered my question.
Anywho.. I'm using Fresh Toast 2.0b2, and I'm having an odd problem when playing games that have touch input.
For example... Whilst playing the game "Radiant" The phone slows down considerably when I use the touch screen to move my ship.. I would say framerates cut almost in half.. but clear up as soon as I lift my thumb from the screen..
Same thing happens in the game "Blow Up" When I tap-hold the bottom of the screen to pick up the bombs to drag to the beams, the phone slows WAAAYY down, but clears up the moment I drop the bomb/lift my finger from the screen..
Could this be a ROM problem? Background App Problem? Just one of the quirks of the Hero?
Any input will be seen as valuable.
Thanks,

FreshToast is buggy right now - hence the DEV rom titleing.
I also have noticed general touch bugyness. Especially slow responses to touch.

Not a ROM problem, Not specific to your device. I feel like its a problem with HTC's multitouch drivers.. Ive noticed the same problem since I got the phone in October. I'm pretty certain when you touch the phone, the Hero is looking for another touch point so it delays the phone.. The HTC Hero doesn't use the same multitouch drivers as other 2.1 devices even on the 2.1 ROMs, Thats why most multitouch programs on the market dont work right for the Hero, and also why I'm jumping to EVO, Hopefully HTC EVO doesn't have the same problem.

That definitely makes sense. Wish I would've known about the EVO previous to my purchase of the Hero..
So I did 2 neocores. One without touching the screen got me 25 dos. Then I touched the screen thru the whole benchmark and got 4.9 dos. Wow that's a big difference!

That should be seen as a deal breaking bug for the Hero.. We should all go to Sprint and DEMAND EVOs.
Unless its not present in the official 2.1, I'm going to do what I can to get an EVO.
yeh its really weird how it works right. .27 and touch input didnt play well. at all. the biggest problem is the sh*t digitizer we have. it only senses x OR y moving AWAY OR TOWARDS eachother. it isnt true multtouch. a good example is to download multitouch paint from the demo market. it will read both fingers fine until one crosses the x or y axis in opposite directions.
but anyways back to when you touch, i think toasts source is amazing for the .29 but once htc releases the real .29 source he will really work his magic. .29 fixed alottt of the issues with stuff like music and touch having their own "processes". in .27 they were all bunched together and that made ultra lags while using bt and messing with phone.
This is fixed in Fresh Toast 2.1Final.
I love those two guys.

Thank you all!

I've been lurking for a while gathering all of the info i need, so i can be prepared.
I was able to get a nook on ebay for 170 with a nice leather case, and a pack of screen protectors. basically brand new. got a 8 gig, class 4 sandisk card, and flashed CM7 stable, gapps, and the overclock module flawlessly. everything works like a charm. Nexflix works great, and pretty much any app ive put on it. some apps show small like for a phone, but otherwise its great. Just a big thanks to everyone who contributes.

Oh man, that did it! thank you! im pretty much set now.
Stumbled upon this by accident...thanks for the tip!
i am still on Manual Nooter after a couple of weeks...
I am a bit afraid to move at the moment to CM, as everything works pretty well.
In addition i dont find some instructions so clear (for an accountant!) so i am stepping back for the moment.
Of course it might be very easy to update to CM, by just putting a zip file in the update folder, but i am not risking it at the moment!

I agree.
I was looking at getting a NC WAY back when people were first rooting it but luckily a techie guy I know told me to wait for CM7. So once that came out and people were raving about it I went ahead and bought one. Honestly the CM install process was a little confusing to me so I just paid someone to do it for me. But I've gotten a little more comfortable with it now since I bricked it a couple of times trying to install kernels but was able to restore through CM Recovery.
Between playing games, downloading apps, surfing the internet and reading books, I'm on my NC for probably 3 hours a day or so. I love this thing. I know I'm not even scratching the surface of what this thing can do but it works great for me.
I even donated to XDA today. Where's my star?!?!

I read the comments of the people in you tube, and now i am even more afraid to do it! So many people have problems!
Sent from my NOOKcolor using Tapatalk
I understand that feeling but keep in mind......the comments are usually from the minority of problems encountered. The vast majority of attempts were successful but you usually don't see/hear those comments! (Most problems I have had in the past rooting/modding the two NCs of mine were my own fault. Read carefully and have at it!)
Don't worry about messing up your nook, it is nearly impossible to brick, and if it does not boot then, you get the pleasure of learning how to use cwm.

[Q] Touchscreen Lag IncS

Hey folks,
I'm experiencing with my IS, as mentioned in the title, an input lag of the touchscreen. It is not really disturbing, but the fact, that my friends Wildfire recognizes the input better, with Stock 2.1 ROM installed, bothers me really
In the moment I'm S-off on Android Revolution HD 1.1.2, which has a slightly better input than stock 2.3.3, but it is still there. Please tell me, if you are experiencing similar problems.
thanks Max
Only thing I've noticed so far is that if you drag slowly In some applications (like the browser, doesn't matter which browser I'm using) it doesn't scroll at all... but in the settings menu I can swipe downwards as slow as I want to, so I guess what I'm experiencing is software related...
What I really want to know is if I'm alone, or if there has noticed the same thing
Sent from a dumb phone
with my IcS... ive noticed that certain parts of my screen at the randomest times will stop recognizing input.... for me this happens exactly at the O and N key... after leaving it for a few seconds... it starts working again so not much of an issue to me...
there is an app in market place called touchscreen booster... maybe apply that and see if that helps u change the sensitivity...

thanks for the advice danial.aw. I tried your method, but the only touchscreen booster app i found in the market was for SGS, so that hadn't had any effect
Keeps annoying me buying a 500$ phone that has such a crappy touchscreen...
Sounds to me like you might have a faulty unit if it's bad with both stock and custom ROMs. Never had any issue with mine.

Not a clue I'm afraid. Always worth asking them I suppose.
well yes it says thats its for SGS only... but the app worked on my Atrix when i had it... so im assuming it might actually help more phones than that... try it out and see...
Doesn't make any difference no matter what i set in the app. I will drive to a store today to see if it might be subjective but I don't think so.
Edit: well it's not only subjective, I'll give the warranty a try, lets see how the will react
wooh got all of my money back, I'm moving to WP7 now. Android hasnt persuaded me...maybe again when 4.0 comes out.

God WP7 is woeful, the mango update had better fix/add a lot of features...
No I've tested the one from my sister for already two months and I'm very content with WP7. A Phone should be fast and I'm not really into Apple's politics.
You will be in microsofts politics though. WP7 is as closed down as ios. At least with apple you get a good warranty service.

Anyone got sixaxis controller working on M yet?

Just a query..I have a few things preventing me upgrading at the moment.. I'm not sure if it was simply because I didn't have system r/w when I tested it.
I'm happy to test myself when I get chance but until then, thought I'd ask in case someone knows.
Quiet day at work so I tested it today and still not working. Fails to create the bluetooth driver.
Sent an email to the dev to see where things stand.
Yea I wrote to the developer and got no reply yet that was 3 days ago

Still no reply here either.
Been trying myself, on my N6 and my N7(2013). So far, nothing. No response from the devel...
No luck here on my nexus, mailed the dev aswell. Hope there is a fix underway
Slightly off topic, but I just tried a Stock ROM (I usually use an AOSP rom) and I cant even get the controller to connect. It just continues to flash. Came from a fresh install and have root. Restored to my previous rom and it works again. Anyone got it working on latest 5.1.1 stock?
