- remove some preinstalled apps I don't need
- add some of my own apps
- add touch support
- rotate screen to portrait mode
The touch support was added by placing hid-multitouch.ko in the /system/lib dir and adding insmod /system/lib/hid-multitouch.ko to init.rc. Works like a charm.
Rotation is a lot harder to accomplish. Ideally I would like to be able to change the device orientation from within an app. For now the only way I found to change it, is by modifying Build.prop. I removed persist.sys.app.rotation=force_land and added the line ro.sf.hwrotation=270.
What happens is that the rotation works, however the touch events are still registering as if the device is in landscape (normal) orientation. So for example when a keyboard appears on the bottom of the portrait screen, you actually have to touch the left side of the screen where the (invisible) keys are...
Any ideas how to solve this?
