-Downgraded touchscreen firmware to e015
Matt at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40445 figured how to downgrade the touch firmware to a previous version, which had better sensitivity. But it won't stick after a reboot, so I compiled a custom kernel with the downgraded touch firmware.
Here's how to make it stick after a reboot. This requires a my custom kernel and also to manually downgrade the touch driver once using terminal or adb.
This will downgrade your touch firmware from E027 to E015.
First, flash my kernel, download links listed above. .
Second, after flashing the flashing the kernel and rebooting, download this file SynaImage.E015.bin*http://goo.gl/4vzd4 and place on the root of the sdcard.
Then open terminal or adb and request root permission.
Then type the following command "echo 1 /sdcard/SynaImage.E015.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware"
The screen will not be responsive to touch for a few seconds as the firmware is downgraded.
To check if it downgraded successfully, run this in terminal "cat /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/fw_ver" you should get "E015" as a response. Try this after rebooting to see if it sticks.
Your done! Now you have a nice sensitive touchscreen.
Credit goes to Matt who figured out how to downgrade the touch firmware here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40445, comment 42.
This is totally reversible, just flash any kernel or booting into recovery, and the original firmware will update automatically.
CWR Touch will revert the the touch firmware, therefore the touchscreen will be non-responsive for a few seconds when you first boot into recovery, you can use the volume buttons and power button until the touchscreen is responsive again. .
Kernel Source: github.com/reddv1/msm.git
Here's another method to downgrade the touch firmware

Everyone incoporate this into your Kernel's NOW , yes you Faux!
Great find , I might test tonight.

I suggest you make a bigger deal out of the no touch CWM. People are going to miss that and then complain incessantly when they realise.

I'll try it when I get back home, but I thought the screen of the Nexus 4 was perfect !

Hopefully kernel devs incorporate this. Any ideas if TWRP is borked too? I'm not sure if it has anything but touch options.

Yeah touch won't work with TWRP either. I can always compile the recoveries with the downgraded touch firmware and that will fix touch in them.

Yeah, they should include it because it doesn't downgrade the touch firmware, unless you downgrade it manually it just helps it stick. And reflashing the same kernel or any kernel will reverse it automatically. Everyone wins.
This option is nice to have until Google or LG update the firmware themselves.

Yep! I subscribed the issue and applied the fix directly after it was posted.
I love it! Please Google / LG, fix the "ghost touch" issue without making the screen less sensitive.
@Faux: Include it in your Kernel!
@AlwaysDroid / Apfelschale: PRS is the same though, but the sensivity is better. I tested it today in my daily routine.

this looks promising but I'll probably wait until motley or faux include it in their kernels. Currently running motley since I'm getting this phone RMA'd and wanted to try all the kernels and like it a lot so I don't want to give up those features for a slightly more sensitive screen.

It's nice for some people I'm sure but my phone feels just fine.
I hope kernel devs don't enable this out of the box, or at least provide a way of turning it off and on.

Hasn't changed for anyone, I think prs reading having any substance has been debunked. Some readings saying improvement with no difference in prs reading are in the other thread.

You don't have to include it in the kernel, just replace the old one and test it. It'll be gone after a reboot.
Everything you need is described here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40445#c42

I can definitely see an improvement here. Values gone from around 0.5 to 0.3

Successfully downgraded and jammin. Sticks after reboot. Thanks

So its not a placebo then, coz It feels real good to me too. Not found anything wrong or troublesome.
The only thing I can say to sum up the Galaxy Note is....... You "NEED" It in your life! I had the Galaxy S II before this and the Dell Streak before that, this combines the love of the two
Devs are a bit thin at the minute as it's so new, I got mine at the beggining of November (And paid a fair bit more for the priviledge lol) but well worth it, I can see me having this for the next two years minimum......Ok Ok, I know I'm not kidding anyone....... I'll have it until they release a Note II haha
Runs very smooth! Much better than the other 3.2 Rom. But not that good browsing experience i have with 3.1! Dolphin lacks sometimes.
Anyway... Thanks for the upload!
Hope ICS comes soon!

auto rotation problem
If i run an app that only works in portrait mode, the devices auto rotate stops working.
Also still the lag on swype keyboard (in browser) exists, when typing (not swyping). This keyboard lag ruins user experience.
Another problem is the cursor jumps to completely different spot when trying to put it in the text.

Legend Q&A

Legend Q&A,
Q. When the status bar is hidden, how can I access the files on the device?
A. USB mass storage goes through the statusbar service, so it gets disabled too. Droid Explorer is an excellent tool to access the files on the phone, just make sure the phone has usb debugging enabled, since adb is still enabled.
Droid Explorer
we need this bumped so when people got so questions about The Legend it can be asked and answered.Thank you Crt60 for a awesome rom.

3.4 Beta 2
I read on the development thread that version 3.4 will be released tonight. I just finished upgrading to this (3.4 Beta 2--works great by the way!). Are you anticipating updating the zip, or will the the current "beta 2" package be the same as what is "released" this evening?
I had a weird issue after flashing 3.4 ICS. My status bar disappeared along with my Calendar app. I flashed back to 3.0 ICS and they are working again.
Thoughts?
Did you flash the wipe or no wipe to 3.4

I just reflashed again from 3.0 ICS to 3.4 ICS exactly like before. This time it worked. We'll just call the first time a bad flash (even though I flashed 3.4 over 3.4 after the error first occurred).
Weird.

That has been a tough one from the start, you change it and it works for the larger numbers but not smaller. Change it again and it works for smaller numbers and not the larger ones. Havent figured out the proper place holder configuration. So I opted for the larger numbers.

So I just reproduced the glitch on the backup phone by restoring a nandroid and going through the same steps. I'm guessing it was just something unique to my setup.

A nandroid backup can bring some of the old sigs with it, causing problems, I've been using tibu with no problems. If having problems with the no wipe, the full wipe maybe what you need to do, I think the problem lies with the nandroid backup.
I really appreciate your feedback.

Great rom and thanks for your hard work. I am having a crazy issue with 3.0 running the HSB theme. After 2 days almost exactly my phone app disapears from the dock. The icon is just gone. I tried adding the shortcut with a long press and application shortcut, but it is not even listed as an option. However if I use a direct dial shortcut it calls just fine. really weird
I went back to stock and flashed again full wipe, same thing happened. I was reluctant to go to 3.4 just yet. has anyone else reported this issue?
Geeve
This is the first report of this issue. After you reflashed 3.0 did you reflash the theme or a different kernel? I'm just checking if this might be theme related or possibly kernel related. Crt and myself are using corn 6.03 it seems some of the newer versions are doing some funky stuff. We seen random reboots, and crt's phone actually called his voicemail while on the table using one of the newer versions of the corn kernel.

Tried It
Just from my experience, it works well! Used it while running Elegancia 20.0 (with S-Off)
I did encounter a bug though. After it sideloads the rom for the first time, you need to manually reboot into recovery for it to install the apps or else you'll be stuck in a animation bootloop.
So what all does it do? I know it unlocks the bootloader for you, but does it install a recovery as well, or just install the ROM and leave it at that?

Kudos the dev team for the installer app
Tried it myself on my HTC device. Works pretty good. But it has its faults as the installer will stump a couple of people not familiar with loading roms, unlocking devices, and recovery menus.
1. You gotta install HTC sync to install the HTC USB drivers. Then un-install the HTC syn software only. I had to debug this process on my end b/c the SYC software would cause a conflict with the Cynanogen installer. And was having issues when putting the device in debug mode > from the developer options.
2. The installer did unlock my phone, asked for token and all.
3. During the rom install, it did reboot the phone and caused me start the whole process over again; this happened about 2 times.
4. It does not install Gapps, you must get them and side load them via the recovery menu.
Other than that it worked like it was supposed to. It flash the follwing:
-CM 10.2-20131101-SNAPSHOT-InstallerBeta3-m7spr
-Android 4.3.1
Alas it did not fix the camera issue that has been plaguing some users ( a blue purple tint when taking pictures). Overrall its a good step in helping "teh noobs" in using custom roms on their smartphones.

You know you sound ridiculous, right? I know how and have rooted/flashed so many roms on my Evo that I got kind of burnt out. I was one of the early adopters that had to go through the 45 min, you could very possibly brick your phone, root method. The two reasons I haven't gone through it with the One is I don't have the time, but more importantly, I don't have the patience. This takes away all effort/worry/questions. I was probably going to just let the One be, now I will most likely root in the next few days. Do I necessarily want CM? No. This will make me put it on my phone and try it before I flash something else now though.
That is my thinking as an experienced flasher. "Knowing how" and choosing to do it the inefficient way sounds like you are a hipster or something.

The thing is, nobody's really wrong here. If you already are familiar with the process of flashing, than this is of little use to you, other than checking it out. If you are new to flashing, this gives you a more safe and simple way to go about it. Whether or not you use or like CM, it is still a great leap forward that a development group is taking it upon themselves to offer solutions to problems that plague any user with a taste for customization. And we are all hipsters here, in the sense that the vast majority of device users have no idea what we do here or how we do it. Even more don't care. I think everybody finds that it is easy to misunderstand or read attitude where there is none actually intended. It happens to me all the time. My penny and a half.
I tried it, unfortuantely, it just rebooted the phone into the bootloader and stops. I'm sure it's because I have twrp installed. I have no idea how to switch from twrp to cyanogen.
EDIT: Okay their wiki is a lot better now, AND the mountpoints are correct! cyanogen recovery worked, flashing last nights 10.2 nightly, wish me luck!
I'm gonna miss my HTC Sense I think :\

Hi, the 1st image shows 5.0.2 lollipop?! How did you get that please?
???
does this kernel work on all phones, sprint att and such with stock roms or do i need a custom rom?
also, i am used to flashing roms and kernels on galaxy phones, so this is new to me. Is it the same process? Get into TWRP and install the zip? Or do i need to do a complete wipe? If i want to return back to stock for any reason, what will I have to then? Basically, im concerned with erasing my data.
Thanks

also, i am used to flashing roms and kernels on galaxy phones, so this is new to me. Is it the same process? Get into TWRP and install the zip? Or do i need to do a complete wipe? If i want to return back to stock for any reason, what will I have to then? Basically, im concerned with erasing my data.
Thanks

The kernel is universal, works for everything. Just flash the zip same process, boot into twrp and flash the kernel and then reboot.
It's as simple as that. If you want to return to stock then flash stock kernel zip, it's simple.

For those of us running LS your home and multitasking buttons will disappear. You can use pie controls to counter this. Also your lock screen won't work it will just shown your home screen when you dt2w or press the power to wake the device. I don't use a lock code so this is what happens to me. I love Franco's kernels after using them on my Nexus 7 and I can't wait to use this one once the issues are fixed.

Why are you using the old app? Update it. It's been out for a week now.
Update to a custom rom that uses 5.0.2.

Franco kernel updater. It's the app that companions the kernel which let's you update the kernel with a click of a button as well as tweak settings of the kernel and change colors and have profiles etc.
It's 30 percent off right now. Is it worth buying? Of course, it's on sale and still holiday season.

You can flash the kernel with on click via the app. Its painless and awesome. If you haven't used the app before check out the options there are even ones to save previous kernels and per app settings. The app is worth every penny.

thats nice to know, to bad i didnt make a backup of the original kernel. oh well.
another question. I selected the power saving mode, restarted the phone, and it wasnt highlighted anymore. Do i have to select one of the modes every time i reboot? Which mode is automatically selected after each reboot?

It should automatically apply, I haven't used Franco's kernel in a while since I sold my Nexus 7 (2013) a few months ago. A lot has changed in the app since then. I would try some things and see what happens.

It's obvious that you're pirating the app because the app isn't even called FKUBeta anymore. Buy the application and then your problems with the application will go away.
Also, stop saying ??? It adds nothing to the conversation

I don't mean to be rude or anything but yeah. Piracy isn't something we endorse on xda, it's a app that was well thought out in terms of design and is updated quite frequently. Plus it's on sale!
You won't regret buying it for the convenience of flashing newer versions of the kernel.

Wierd Screen Glitch Issue

My Nexus 6 is on TeamOcto OS with their custom kernel but this glitch also happens on other custom firmware that i flash a custom kernel too.
When using certain apps like the you tube app or waze the screen glitches out into like 4 different boxes and the only fix so far is to switch off my screen and switch it back on. I want to know if it is due to a faulty part on my phone or if it is because of the kernel's i flash onto the phone
Edit: Will post a picture when it decides to glitch out, since it isn't doing it right now

Old hat, this glitch is. There are equal chances that it is either software or hardware related. The right kernel may solve this, as well as making sure to use the default DPI (560). If it's hardware related, you'll be looking to RMA the device.
Can't RMA it since I bought it of of swappa but I'll probably just try flashing a different ROM without flashing a custom kernel
This comes up in the ElementalX kernel thread every so often. Recommend work around is to use Interactive governor.

I've flashed my phone to n6x to see if it was going to alleviate it and it hasn't done the glitch so far. Thanks for your guys input

I had this problem and the only two kernels that every resolved this were Flash kernel and LeanKernel (which is no longer supported and has not been updated in ages) Somewhere here in XDA for my nexus 6 I posted a photo of the same problem, it typically have happened after playing youtube videos.
I stopped using Elemental X as I have this problem with it every time, I know there is the interactive governor to resolve it but I just went to LeanKernel and then to Flash kernel. Problem solved.
Edit - Found my original post with the photo taken.

It definitely has to do with the kernel, every time I flash elemental x kernel, the split screen occurs, other kernels, no problem, using flash right now and it's great. It's never the rom causing the problem,

Actually it is a combo of the two. People seem to think that any kernel will work with any rom. This is not the case. Each room team codes their kernel to work with the rom so other kernels may not work.

That's true, but I haven't heard of any specific rom for elemental x. Not bashing elemental x, it was my preferred kernel for my nexus 5. I am thinking it depends on the date your specific nexus 6 was built, some aren't affected, while some are . They were shipped with different eMMC and ram

True. This is why I only use the kernel that comes with the rom I am using. This way I know they are coded to work together.
Please excuse my bumping an old thread.
I recently decrypted my Nexus 6 and the problem completely stopped. The Interactive Governor solution only decreased the frequency of the occurences.
Hope this helps!

I am on stock android 7.1.1 but everytime while opening snapchat the screen shows a black screen with grey n black dots like on signal less TV for about a second n then the app opens n functions normally tried uninstalling n clearing data yet no progress.
Installed pixel experience ROM n running Oreo yet the screen glitch before opening snapchat is there.

Seems like your device is seriously f.u.c.k.e.d. Yesterday you posted about a not working USB connection. Time to get a new device or mainboard.
Mysteriously the usb port worked

To my surprise the usb port worked with Redmi note 5 usb cable after I held it in a wierd position (pushing upwards by pressing down n tilting left) but the struggle paid off n I'm enjoying "pixel experience" Tim by King which is the best rom for Nexus 6 till date.

I doubt that you have tried all ROMs.
I also wonder why people install / use a highly outdated ROM

Name a more stable n complete rom which does not need to flash separate gapps package n root. It might be Oreo but atleast I found it to have everything I needed. So which according to you is the best??

I don't know why included gapps and su is a big pro. You only need to flash it once as it survives updates.
Personally I don't think there is something like 'the best ROM' as everybody has different needs or preferences.
Also I am not the right person to recommend a ROM as I am highly biased as LineageOS maintainer.
But if you look at the other ROM's shamu sources you'll see where the real development was done

That's y u dislike pixel experience coz it jealous of King. Ur lineage is might be on pie but we all know it's unstable (atleast not 100% stable unlike pixel experience) proof? Jus look at the number of people complaining on your thread. ?
