Possible Temporary/Permanent fix to touchscreen

cellorne

\n\nA few days ago in this forum someone provided a "solution" (to the touchscreen problem) using the "Engineer MTK Mode" App, but there was a big issue: Every time the phone got restarted you would lose all the changes and had to start over, which was a pain in the ass.

Searching further regarding a solution for this touch sensitivity/inaccuracy of the UMI Rome, I found the following article: http://www.rootupdate.com/2014/11/make-android-touch-screen-smooth-without-root.html
In it they proivide two apps users claim they greatly improve the issue on their phones. These apps are generic for Android phones regardless of their O.S.

I installed the second option they mentioned (" SGS Touchscreen Booster" App) as I saw it mentioned on another article, too. This app was originally created for a Samsung, but apparently works for any Android. I installed it, ran it, and restarted with no problem. One thing is for sure, the settings are kept after restarting, as the app has an option to start the app on restart. I changed the settings as the ones mentioned in the article:

Set: Sensitivity To - 80, Duration To register Touch - 0, Minimum Motion - 0, Motion Filter - 70, Multi Touch points - 2
Check "Start service on boot" and then click on "Apply changes"

The app seems to have the option of saving each custom change with a name, so we could also had a few custom settings and test them until we find the perfect one.

As I said, I installed it succesfully and applied the recommended settings as per the article, but have not used it that long to really tell if it improves or not (but at least it does not seem to make it worse). Maybe someone can test it further (or more intensively) installing it and then using an app they had problems with before installing this, to see if it's any better.

I think that after restart still remain.

First impression is very good! I'll try it for a few days in case of placebo efect !

Good that you tried the first one, too!

Plese, do not forget to do a small comparisson review between the first and second app solutions. Maybe some people would prefer one for an issue (let's say accuracy), and the other app for another (let's say sensitivity). Once we have your (and others') feedback we can better reach a conclussion.

By the way, after you installed and went through the process with that first app, did the settings remain after restarting?

This is solution from other forum for touchscreen. ( xda )

Get app - MTK engineering mode

select and change values

tpd_em_auto_time_interval - 10
tpd_em_pressure_threshold - 25
tpd_em_debounce_time -4
tpd_em_debounce_time0 - 5
tpd_em_debounce_time1 - 9


say thanks if it work for me is ok !
