Add touch screen support for Six Axis/Joy Center to my ROMs

[Finless]

UPDATE!
There was a problem with my 01touch script. It is now fixed!
New download file name is touch1.zip

_______________________________



Hey guys, in another thread someone pointed out this virtual touch screen KO modules that is suppose to work with TV players and Sixaxis controller APP.

See here:

http://www.dewmill.com/rikomagic.html

Now his instructions don't quite work and you have to do it on every boot!
However if your using one of my ROMs it has init.d script support we can have it install on every boot


Notes:
1) This module only works on 4.1.1. It will not insmod on 4.2.2 ROMs.
2) You must be running a ROM that supports init.d for the instructions to work. Like one of my ROMs.
3) I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS MYSELF with sixaxis yet! So please provide feedback on how well it work PLEASE!
I have tested the instructions below and the ko module does inject into the kernel.


Here is how to do it.
FOLLOW these instructions to the letter or it wont work.

What you need:
1) Install ES file explorer from Google Play
2) Install Android Terminal Emulator from Google Play
3) Download this kit I made for you. It has the init.d script and the touch.ko module

http://www.freak-tab.de/finless/touch1.zip

4) Unzip this file and copy touch.ko and 01touch to your SDcard.

5) Run ES File Explorer and go into settings in ES file explorer and at the bottom Root settings
Turn on Root Explorer. Be sure to answer YES to the SuperUser prompt
Turn on Up to Root
Turn on Mount system RW

6) Using ES file Explorer navigate to your SDcard.
7) Long press on the touch.ko file and select copy
8) Back up to root and go into /system/lib/modules and press the paste button. ES file explorer should say file copied successfully. Now ES has a little bug. You wont see the file in there. So back up one directory level and go back into /modules and now you will see it. (They need to fix that bug!)
9) Long press on the touch.ko file and in the list scroll down to the bottom and select properties
10) In this dialog click the "change" button to set permissions
11) Set all the READ boxes. Set the first WRITE box. Leave the other boxes unchecked
OK KO module is now ready.

12) Navigate back to your SDcard and long press on 01touch. Select copy
13) back up to root and navigate to /system/etc/init.d
14) Press the paste button and ES file explorer should say filed copied successfully. Now again, ES has a little bug. You wont see the file in there. So back up one directory level and go back into /init.d and now you will see it.
15) Long press on the 01touch file and again select properties from the list.
16) Again click the change button to set permissions
17) This time click ALL the boxes except the last WRITE box.
OK init.d script is ready!

Now lets test that the init.d script worked and the module is injected into the kernel
1) Reboot
2) Run Android Terminal Emulator
3) At the prompt type
su
4) Remember to say YES to the SuperUser root prompt!
5) Now type
lsmod
6) It will list all install KO modules. In the list you should see virtual_touchscreen

That's it! your good to go.
If you ever want to not have the KO module installed simply go into the init.d folder and rename 01touch to 01touch.old and the script will no longer run on boot.


Enjoy,
Bob

Add touch screen support for sixaxis to my ROMs

I cant seem to be able to get this to work.
Mk809ii finless 1.5 imito rom

Iv pasted the touch.ko file to /system/lib/modules
Set all the READ boxes & Set the first WRITE box. Leave the other boxes unchecked (permissions rw-r--r--)

pasted the 01touch file to /system/etc/init.d
This time set ALL the boxes except the last WRITE box (permissions rwx rwx r-x)

when i run Terminal Emulator i dont see virtual_touchscreen
i can only see wlan,,,vpu_service,,,,tun,,,,xpad,,,,mirroring,,,, rk29,,,,mali,,,,ump

so i guessin i have done something wrong & the module is not injected into the kernel it looked so easy too

[Finless]

Let me boot the 1.5 ROM on my Imito and check it. I do not have a MK809ii

I assume your using the kernel from the imito ROM and not the original MK808ii kernel?

Yes bob im using everything from the 1.5 imito rom it works perfect on my mk809ii,,Thanks in advance your rom is awesome by the way :-)

OK try this real quick to eliminate the ko module

open the terminal emulator
type
su
then type
insmod /system/lib/modules/touch.ko

then do a lsmod and see if it shows.

If it does, then something is wrong with init.d

Hey bob iv just done what you said & now (virtual_touchscreen) shows up first in the list what does that mean was i doing something wrong is it installed now lol

[Finless]

I am checking now. That means the KO module works on 1.5 but something is not working right with init.d

Hang tight. I will have an answer soon.

Bob

[Finless]

I found the problem!

I am an IDIOT!

I made the script using Windows notepad and the Android shell does not like windows line endings. I actually knew this issue but forgot!

So I made a new script that works and is tested.

The new file download name is touch1.zip. Download it from the first post and follow the instructions again.

Sorry for the mistake. Let me know if you get it working this time please.
