Which rom is best for using touch screen(s) with the X7?

[kslmgd]

When you put 5 or 10 fingers and only then you see a pointer, it means the kernel is not recognizing the device as a touch screen. There are dozens of USB touchscreen vendor and device ids. I followed the instruction from Arro and compiled my own kernel to get my HT231 working. I have my experience documented in http://GiantTablet.blogspot.com. I also heard reports from many users that the newer device, namely Tronsmart 89-H, running 3.1 kernel supports many touchscreen.

10 fingers vendor is ilitek checked with usb info app from google play
I also have the new aw80 Draco 4/32 and wouldn't work with it
Thank u for reply I will check the url and let u know

Yes thx for the guide. Might give this a go and see what I can come up with for my MINIX.

Works great 10 Point multitouch acer ft220 hql all 10 points Flawless everything !!!

Well I never used linux and without Arro and mongkok blog for help no way would I have figured it out .
You know, I'm glad you all didn't just give me the file premade .
I really like the challage and always like to fringer it out.

Thanks again

Thanks for all the work Arro,

I have one of the monitors below (HP 23tm with 1926:033c) with the MK809III stick. I have it rooted with Neomode custom rom version 3.1 Android 4.4.2. I have tried editing the idc files with little luck. I can make the screen respond but nothing usable. Since it sounds like your solution works for my monitor, is there a simple walkthrough showing how to implement your kernel? I'm about 3 days in working with these systems so I have no idea where to go after downloading your config file and kernel. Any help would be amazing!

I attached the kernel config file I am using and my latest kernel, supporting some additional multi-touch screens.

Based on information I received from skiman, this kernel now supports:

• HP multi-touch screen (VendorIdeviceId = 1926:033c)
• A large set of multi-touch panels based on CVTouch technology (http://www.cvtouch.com/)

Multi-touch screens (supporting more than 2 touch points) do not always seem to be recognized automatically by the kernel. As long as the HID protocol, however, can be handled by a generic or existing multi-touch kernel driver, it is not that difficult to add proper device registration in a specific kernel build.

Hope this one works for you, otherwise dive into the kernel config!
Arro.

Glad it worked for you. What did you ended up doing? Did you compiled your own 2.6 kernel or used 3.1 kernel?

Used Marvin to compile new kernel edited hid and input files as you did with arro instructions.
My touchscreen id was there and edited the id and product .

Now looking for good git source to compile kitkat kernel for t428 finless 2.0 .
Thank you again

Seems a lot of work has been done since the last time I logged in to the forum... really great to see how knowledge goes viral here. Great forum indeed!

@hailtocarter: You seem to have the same productId:deviceId as I have, only a different type of HW (MK809III). The kernel-image I built is specific for the Minix X7 and most probably can not be used on your stick. You will have to start from a kernel 'build environment' for the MK809III device and apply the patches I documented (can send the files if needed). I did not look around yet who might have such an environment here, I do not have an MK809III and would not be able to test builds. Anybody?

Greetings to all! Arro.

That's what I was afraid of. Unfortunately I have only been using these android sticks for a couple days and don't know how to create a kernel for my device yet. Thanks for all the great info! If anyone knows how to make Arro's patches for my monitor (HP 23tm Vendor_1926_Product_033c) work with the MK809III using the Neomod custom rom I would not complain!

UPDATE : Well running touchscreen on kitkat thanks to d33 source and with .config I extracted from Bob Finless t428 2.0 KK kernel .
d33 source has 2 KK sources I had to use the beta source for it to work .
In beta sources i used the command (make clean) which was a mistake for some reason would not boot kernel.




So I started over git clone source again and extracted .config from BF 2.0 kk T428 again and just used command make nconfig set it and used command( make kernel.img) it finshed with a working kernel .

Read post to me from Mongkok and Arro first page .
Mongkok link was big help to get started .
Also this link http://www.freaktab.com/forumdisplay...el-Development

Good luck

Sweet Table

Glad it worked for you. What did you ended up doing? Did you compiled your own 2.6 kernel or used 3.1 kernel?

Just checked ur page .
That's one sweet table great job but you have now gave me something else to make THANKS ALOT MY WIFE GOING TO KILL ME .....HA.HA.HA

[mongkok]

Glad you like it. The cost is certainly reasonable. It is the time spent that matters.

BTW, I mistakenly called it as 2.6 Kernel. I meant 3.0.36+ kernel that comes with our KitKat sticks.
