It finally happened. A persistent and good dev "AnDyX" managed to get the digitizer working with multitouch
His thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135965
I think I can say on behalf of the X8/cypress community THANK YOU.
This thread is now obsolute, and is kept only as a info thread!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The digitizer in the X8 is:
CY8CTMA340
These are some officiel links for the chipsets
Product Sheet:
http://www.cypress.com/?docID=29019
Product info on the homepage:
http://www.cypress.com/?id=1938&rID=51366
Android beta drivers from cypress homepage
http://www.cypress.com/?rID=44238
I have created an account and downloadet these drivers and attached them to this post. It is an i2c driver for the module View attachment Cypress_TTSP_Android_Driver_Test.zip
However the driver included in the driver release by sonyericsson looks much simpler, and thats maybe why it does not support multitouch: View attachment cyttsp.zip
The "cyttsp_i2c.c" file included in the sonyerricson release contains 160 lines of code, and the one from cypress homepage contains 2009 lines of code !
But that one also works for multiple devices.
Detection of which chipset the phone has!
Please there is no secure way to determine what digitizer the phone has from the package, as I initially thought. I maybe thought the SI number had anything to do with it but i was WRONG.
Please stop posting SI numbers in the thread. They cannot be used
You MUST root your phone and have a terminal installed in order to see the chipset version, sorry but that's the only current way:
Taken from doixanh synaptic thread:
Try this command in your phone (either with terminal or with adb shell):
Code:
dmesg | grep cyttsp-i2c
If you have something like this, that means your X8/X10mini is using Cypress and therefore it will not be supported by x8gesture:
Code:
<6>[ 4.185259] cyttsp_i2c_probe: Successful registration cyttsp-i2c
Also in my experience if you have "permission denied" you must first enter this in the terminal
Code:
su
and then you can enter the above commands!
Progress from here on
See the beginning of the thread!
Please write in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135965 if you have anything usefull regarding development of the driver and try to keep it clean.

Hello all you genius devs.
It could be really cool if you could possibly be looking into the cypress digitizer for X8.
I know many of you don't have the X8 with the cypress digitizer, but the synaptic as also stated in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064576
Also some digitizer which looks alot the same as the cypress in the X8 is in the x10 mini pro thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064558
Would a dev be looking into it if someone could borrow the DEV a X8 with a cypress digitizer? That would be awesome.
I don't own a X8 myself otherwise I would gladly send it over to a dev.
But my brother owns a white X8 and it has a cypress digitzer. My father has a black X8 and that one has a synaptic.
On the White X8 box it says:
E15i
SI 1242-3079.4 DA
Maybe this string contains some identification to the fact it is a X8 with cypress.

yeah..it would be cool if some dev can unleash the multitouch potential of the cypress..i own an x8 with cypress myself and i really want it..i dont really care about gaming,i only want the pinch zooming ability because i surf the net a lot with my phone..
Which color X8 do you have?
And can you list what it says on the package if you still have it?
E15i (white, dark blue)
SI 1241-9136.2 EN,IN from Indonesia
hope this can help
go dualtouch!!!
My X8 has cypress digitizer too..
E15i White
SI 1242-4842.2 EL, EN Greece
On my box is
E15i. White/silver
SI 1243 - 5606. 3. EN
So i have synaptics or cypress digitizer ??

I am not sure..
I would probably say cypress because of the "SI-124" but there is a better way to check it you have terminal on the phone..
I will be sure whenever i can confirm that the synaptic have something different other than "si-124" on the package--
My Synaptics X8 also has got 124x-xxxx SI code. SI code doesn't tell the HW revision. SI code represents region.
Thanks for that info.. So now at least i know that is useless info indeed..
The problem is the box does not state the manufactoring date :-(
Anyway this was just trying to identify the digitizer type without rooting the phone..
I will update the first post to reflect this..
Mine says SI 1242-4363 White X8.
Does that mean I've got a Cypress digitizer?
I'm not a Dev but would love to help any Dev with testing?
Roland
we can't look at si, i change my si to get update and si is only region
more(or maybe all) members xda have coustoms roms si is changed
but any works at mt(or dualtouch) is good idea
if u do something , i test it with pleasure
My xperia x8 that i buy from amazon, is 1241-9136.2 and fake dual touch doesnt work for me
SI is not needed for that
i put code from frist post and nothing happen
Please read the first post again. This is a developer thread. The module/driver HAS NOT been developed yet..
Hello from me too I have a cypress digitizer phone but i have found a strange thing today (while i was reading about linux kernel modules as general) - no kernel module is loaded for it but one for synaptics is

... So can anyone point me to the source code for 2.1 on our devices because i can't find it on SE development page. I'll continue to investigate ... thanks in advance
Cypress chip that the newer x8 uses is 4 touch supportive.
So change the topic name from DualTouch to Multitouch!

what do you mean by there is no kernel module loaded? from what i see, the phone loads many modules there. and also yes, the synaptic module is also loaded but useless in cypress phones.
source code is in android's github.

What i mean is that driver for cypress is not loaded as module but compiled with the kernel ... and i can't find source for our x8 (e15i) here http://developer.sonyericsson.com/cws/devworld/search-downloads/opensource?cc=gb&lc=en there is only one for e16i(w8) ... and x8 on android 1.6 .... but as i remember we have e15i from December 2010 when people found that sony-ericsson didn't give their last source
edit: sorry my bad .... found them ^_^
When I type
Code:

May 18th. I'm not in a good mood today.
I'm tired of repeating the same thing every time. Many people pretend that they know lots of things while knowing nothing about it. I'm really tired and bored.
To me, pinch zoom is enough. That's my initial goal of this project. I don't care about such Game Mode. I made that for those noisy kids, and you can see what I got in return.
As I said, this project will be discontinued. I pushed everything on github, anybody can improve it.
Good luck to you guys. Anyone who continues to improve this can send me a PM for editing this thread content.

Rom cookers: if you include this module in your ROM, please make a link to this post in your release post, so your users can know how to work with it and update the module themselves
Intro
I'm working with a kernel module to replace SE touchscreen driver to support dualtouch. However, as I found out, it will mostly not be supported by our hardware, because X8 has only 1 sensor and that sensor supports only 1 finger. I don't know whether we can have dual touch if we flash the screen firmware. I will have a look on that.
A temporary solution now is to make some gestures based on user fingers' relative position. The idea is that we make Android to think that the second finger is also pressed, by generating second finger events from the driver. Anybody who wants to get more details about the previous development, please have a look at this thread
Release history
May 11 v007. Game mode added. Look at HOWTO section for more details.
May 06 v006. No more pinch zoom after 1 finger is lifted. Less pinch zoom activation time. Fixed incorrect positions for generated events.
April 30 v005. Much better "native" pinch zoom now! More stable movements, less unpredictable positions. Zoom in position is specified by your two fingers, not at the screen center.
April 23 andrej456's x8gesture. Well this is not my work, it's andrej456's work, but it's better for all of you to find the module in the first post. You guys can grab it in his post. Thanks to andrej456!
April 13 v004. Rewrite from scratch. Pinch zoom with one or two fingers.
April 03. Source released.
March 26 v003. Specify zoom-in position.
March 25 v002. Zoom-out, rotate. Module size optimization.
March 24 v001. Better finger detection. Reduced zoom-in speed.
March 23 v000. 1 finger pinch zoom-in only
Source is provided at github : https://github.com/doixanh/X8Features
Very Important : HOWTO
Modes
Starting from v007, X8Gesture supports two gestures: Pinch Zoom and Game Mode. Default mode is Pinch Zoom initially after each reboot.
1. Game mode
To activate game mode, keep your phone at "vertical" state, keep one finger at the bottom right and then another at the top left of your screen, one-by-one (don't release first finger).
Generally you should have more pressure with your second finger so that the digitizer recognizes it as the moving finger.
I tested with Tank Hero and it seems to work. This is not dual touch. It only makes you feel more comfortable with MT games. Sometimes it's incorrect though. That's the limitation of our hardware.
Thanks firdausmbois for the idea and your very well designed illusion!
2. Pinch Zoom
To activate Pinch Zoom mode, keep your phone at "vertical" state, keep one finger at the bottom left and then another at the top right of your screen, one-by-one (don't release first finger).
For v005 and above
It's much like natural pinch zoom now. There is no need to "activate gesture" like v004 or below anymore. However you will probably need some practice with Multitouch Visualizer 2.
For v004
To activate gesture, put your two fingers one-by-one (one finger first, then another after - don't put both at the same time) on the screen, away from each other for at least 1cm. The 2nd finger should have more pressure onto the screen. After putting your 2nd finger on the screen, wait for 0.5s, the gesture will be activated.
After the gesture is activated, you can
- Use your two pressed fingers, or
- Lift up one finger and use the remaining finger
to zoom-in/out/rotate.
I prefer keeping two fingers on the screen, because it's natural for pinch zoom. You can look at the tutorial for v004 here, and practice with MultiTouch Visualizer 2.
For v003 and below
Right now it supports only zoom-in, zoom-out, and rotate. I will improve it over time. For who says it's not working, please read this how-to very carefully:
- To activate gesture : Put two fingers near each other, lift one finger up.
- To zoom-in (make things bigger): Activate gesture near the center of the screen. Move your remaining finger away from the gesture position to zoom-in.
- [new in v003] To zoom-in with specified zoom-in position: Do a normal touch to the zoom-in position (your face in an image, for example), then activate the gesture a little bit away from the zoom-in position shortly after the previous normal touch, then drag to zoom. I know, it's a little bit hard to understand ~.~ I will make a short clip for the tutorial
- To zoom-out (make things smaller): Activate gesture at the corner or the side of the screen. Move your remaining finger toward the screen center to zoom-out.
- To rotate : Activate gesture at the corner or the side of the screen. Move your remaining finger around the screen center to rotate.
Practice your 1 finger pinch zoom with MultiTouch Visualizer 2. Tutorial for zoom in, zoom out, and rotate can be watched here

For other ROMs, please upload your /system/etc/hw_config.sh so I can customize your ROM's hw_config to load the kernel module
Troubleshoot
Q. Help! It doesn't work!
A. Try this command from your PC shell
Code:
adb shell
dmesg | grep X8Gesture
If there is some output, that means the module is loaded. You need to practice first.
Q. Help! I did as above, but nothing was output
A. Check your hw_config.sh or your ramdisk to be sure that it's loaded during boot
Q. Help! dmesg above output something, but it doesn't work!
A. Maybe you're trying to load it in X10 Mini Pro or other devices? It supports only X8 and X10 mini. Also, perhaps your digitizer is not Synaptics, it may be a Cypress. Look at the Attention section.
Notice:
1. This is NOT Dual Touch, as big X10 or X10 Mini Pro.
2. This is a Work In Progress. It may not behavior correctly.
3. Read the above "How to zoom" carefully before reporting that it is not working!
4. Who installed gesture module on 23-03-2011 manually : please remove the old synaptics_i2c_rmi4_dx.ko and replace with x8gesture.ko below. Update your hw_config.sh also. Sorry for the inconvenience.
ATTENTION
I've just received a full dmesg from kueh9. I see that in his X8 there is a Cypress digitizer while most of us (including me) are using Synaptics digitizer! That's why x8gesture is not working in some devices.
Thank you kueh9 for your dmesg!
For devices that are unable to use x8gesture, try this command in your phone (either with terminal or with adb shell):
Code:
dmesg | grep "cyttsp-i2c"
If you have something like this, that means your X8/X10mini is using Cypress and therefore it will not be supported by x8gesture:
Code:
<6>[ 4.185259] cyttsp_i2c_probe: Successful registration cyttsp-i2c
In this case, because I don't have X8 with Cypress digitizer, I cannot do anything for you guys. I'm sorry.
ATTENTION #2 : About multi/dual touch capabilities
For X10Mini:
Nobody sees this, at step 14? It's Synaptics T1021A !
And nobody sees this? T1021A is ClearPad 1000 !
And nobody also sees this? ClearPad 1000 is Single-Touch !
I highly believe X8 also this digitizer (Synaptics T1021A).
And guys, stop dreaming about DT/MT with custom kernels! You are the one who develops kernel modules? Or me? You think that Synaptic kernel driver can do what my kernel module cannot??
Big thanks to andrej456 for the idea and code to remove SE touchscreen driver.
Disclaimer
I'm not responsible if this module bricks your lovely phone. Use it at your own risk!
This is awesome!! Thank a lot!
This mod works on all X8 ROMs?
Wow! Thanks. Finally somebody who cares about X8.
How does it work?

Q. Help! It doesn't work!
A. Try this command from your PC shell
[CODE]
adb shell
dmesg | grep X8Gesture
If there is some output, that means the module is loaded. You need to practice first.
Q. Help! I did as above, but nothing was output
A. Check your hw_config.sh or your ramdisk to be sure that it's loaded during boot
Q. Help! dmesg above output something, but it doesn't work!
A. Maybe you're trying to load it in X10 Mini Pro or other devices? It supports only X8 and X10 mini.
Give it a try.
If u like my post, thank me!!
Yep works on MiniCM, althrough..I think most of the packages won't suit to our x10mini(I mean official firmware ones)
omg is working!!!!!! But it wants callibration. I downloaded a multitouch tester from the market and it found 2 touch points.
sorry for my bad english!!
Works well on MiniCM-Beta2 !
Tested in Google Maps, Web Browser, and checked with Multitouch Tester.
thank you so much. Works perfect in my x10 mini SE 2.1.1.A.0.6.
Works Great ! on E10i 2.1.1.A.0.6
it can be zoom in Angrybird?
make one for cyanogen6 v3.4?

It's good and it's a good start !!
Works on cm7!
congratulation!
great job,will try this out later on this evening!
Keep it up.
Best wishes.
Its really awesome aint it guys! Yup it requires calibration though.....but otherwise, its the next best alternative to the pinch-zoom for X10!!
guys because i don't have the x10 mini yet (in 2 days i will buy it)i cant test this one question:it makes the x10 mini recognise 2 fingers? or something like emulate the second finger?
I need a help from you X10mini guys: can somebody do a fresh restart and paste the content of dmesg on your X10mini? I don't have an X10mini but I want to see your dmesg info.
Thanks.

Here is the dmesg info from my mini.
nice work dude
Thanks for uploading the dmesg @nishan.
This module is not for end-users. It's only valuable for kernel developers.
Intro
I wrote this module for the purpose of extracting kernel config from our running kernel 2.6.29 in my X8 (an educational purpose).
Instruction
Everyone who wants to try:
Download the module below (only for X8 with latest kernel + baseband 015)
Extract
Push to /system/lib/modules
From adb shell
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/x8kconfig.ko
gunzip -c /proc/config.gz > /mnt/sdcard/x8config.txt
Mount USB, open x8config.txt from your sdcard with wordpad
You will see these in some first line:
#
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.29
# Tue Jan 18 23:38:24 2011
#
Click to expand...

Source was pushed to github: https://github.com/doixanh/X8Features
Licence violation will be discussed later
SE is treating it's end users like s*it as we all can see....
This will pass,only we need to spread the news.
News:Sony is hiding latest open source kernel,does sony afraid or newest source can unlock bootloader.
Because of user rights when qouastion will asked we can only guess whay they will say nothing or they can go to jail.
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
Why don't you take the boot.img from the latest se rom and extract it so you can get the origenal kernel ..
then build a costom one debending on it
That's insane... I've just forwarded it to Polish android board, everyone should know this.
me using your module I obtain it:
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.29
# Sun Jan 30 20:24:17 2011
#
hmm, why cant we use the older kernel to unlock the bootloader?
just asking.
doixanh, are you going to contact http://gpl-violations.org/ those guys?
does the kernel tree compile with the config extracted from the device?
I think the different build dates are not really a good proof that the published archive is not the real one because they probably did multiple builds with different configs. I know that when I tried compiling kconfig support into the previous kernel/baseband it turned out to be useless and had a bunch of undefined config flags compared to the published kernel tree.
Because the configuration is newer you assume changes to source? That's pretty far fetched... Releasing updates on this big scale you don't do last minute changes to code... Gpl said release changes to code. What code is missing / changed?

what did you post? i mean the exact words.
well i said something about them abandoning us X8/10mini customers and making us stuck at 2.1 and that since they don't care about us the community will and asked them to release their code so the devs can work better
it wasn't rude or anything maybe SE just didn't like the idea of ppl developing the software for their phones
I posted this on polish sony ericsson on fb , bcause I have been blocked on english site

They surely should be reported gpl site http://gpl-violations.org but who will do this? I don't want to be rude but YOU know what to say so why don't you do that?

I´ve posted similar threads there aswell and the threads got deleted.
I was starting to look at kernel stuff today for my X10 Mini Pro = and also couldn't find the latest kernel on the site.
However I downloaded the x10_x10mini_x8_eclair_2.1.A.0.390 file anyway to have a look - and according to the makefile for this it's
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 29
EXTRAVERSION =
NAME = Temporary Tasmanian Devil
So has the kernel actually changed since this release - as this looks like a 2.6.29 to me?
cyttsp_i2c_init: Cypress TrueTouch(R) Standard Product I2C Touchscreen Driver (Built Jan 18 2011 @ 23:43:30) returned 0
got the same text too
Code:

It's entirely far fetched, as OP is trying to correlate something that isn't the cause.
The only thing he's proven is someone typed make oldconfig or make menuconfig, there is usually no indication of source code changes in the .config, outside of new kernel config options that may be in the running kernel vs provided defconfig (did you even check? no). The fact that you didn't even mention looking at the actual kernel build timestamp in /proc/version tells me you don't really know what you're doing, it's not in the .config...
Are there any modules that exist on stock but aren't available for compilation from source? Are there any kernel modules that are exporting tainted symbols? (i.e. is /proc/sys/kernel/tainted 0?) That would rule out any use of proprietary or missing modules. Do any of the stock modules export newer versions or kmsg info that isn't in the source? I highly doubt you looked through the source this extensively.
Most production kernel development cycles I've been a part of involve a period of code freeze before the final release. Usually during this period only absolutely show-stopping bugs are fixed and things like debugging and factory/test hardware modules are removed. It is likely that this is what happens at SE.
Do you really think they put relatively untested code in the kernel during that 5 day period from source finalization and production build? Any changes, especially the security measure you speculate were put in, would require extensive testing. Judging by the contributions that SE has provided in AOSP, they test their software and hardware for compliance more than the average vendor. It's illogical to me to assume they've snuck some code in when they spend countless man-hours doing testing and QA.
This type of speculative witch-hunt makes the community look bad, not SE. You need to provide factual evidence of a license violation, not .config file changes.
This is module that enables dual touch in Cypress touchpad.
Currently there is nothing new to implement unless there will be some breakthrough e.g: datasheet for Cypress chip. I know that FroyoBread people have problems I couldn't solve it without help.
Prerequisites:
- cypress based touchpad,
- X8,
- Baseband x15
Known issues:
- on FroyoBread - you can't accept or reject the incoming call - works if added in hw_config.sh - thanks der_mart
- cypress chip don't report second touch if distance between fingers is lower then about 110 pixels (by AnDyX)
- if you slide one finger to second - chip reports one finger and geometric center will be in the middle of two fingers (by AnDyX)
- sometimes doesn't report second touch if you quickly press both fingers alltogether (by AnDyX)
- on FroyoBread sliding position of touch from first finger to second if you release first and quicly press second finger in another position - could you check both v003 versions guys ?
How to check which chip our X8 has:
- if you already have X8Gesture module from doixanh and it works on your X8 - you have synaptic - so from now stop yelling, screaming and complaining - for me this is disrespect his work !
- run following command in shell (via adb or Terminal Emulator):
Code:
dmesg | grep cyttsp-i2c
If you have something like this, that means your X8 is using Cypress chip otherwise your X8 has Synaptic chip (so look at note above):
Code:
cyttsp_i2c_probe: Successful registration cyttsp-i2c
if you have "permission denied" you must first enter this in the terminal
Code:
su
and then you can enter the above commands.
Manual installation:
- push ax8mt.ko to /system/lib/modules
- run the following command
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/ax8mt.ko
- run dmesg in shell, must contains following lines:
Code:
ax8mt: module v005 loaded
input: cyttsp-spi as /devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0024/input/input3
cyttsp-i2c 0-0024: ax8mt_cyttsp_setup_input_dev: Registered input device cyttsp-spi
ax8mt: Enjoy dual touch now :)
ax8mt_init: Mode set to: andyx
Thats all - dual touch should works now.
If system reboot happens, get last kernel messages (get it using adb command:
Code:
adb pull /proc/last_kmsg
) and share
Check in Multitouch Visualiser - if it works correctly.
Until you're sure that it works with your hardware, don't install it to hw_config.sh.
Release history
v005:
- now there are four modes in driver (can be switched on the fly) each differently reports touches to OS:
* 'original' - uses code from driver - don't send tracking id that chip reports - so OS must do tracking fingers it by itself,
* original_tid' - uses code from driver - send tracking id from chip - in Multitouch Visualiser/Tester - there are additional id number,
* 'andyx' - default mode - send tracking id to OS - but only reports track id set to 1 or 2 - so there is no additional id number in Multitouch Visualiser,
* 'desire' - don't send tracking id that chip reports - so OS must do tracking fingers it by itself; reports touches similar to driver in HTC Desire.
In XGin - all version works - so by default 'andyx' mode is set, IMHO - don't forces OS to track touches by itself and up to 2 tracking id ( two fingers ), so should be fastest.
How to change mode:
In dmesg output there will be line:
Code:
ax8mt: module v005 loaded
input: cyttsp-spi as /devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0024/input/input3
Use device name from second line without two last slashes at the end and add '/sys/ at the beginning:
Code:
echo "andyx" > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0024/mode
Dmesg command output should contain:
Code:
attr_driver_mode: Mode switched to: andyx
v004:
- driver reports smaller constant touch area,
- this is version that not send tracking id sent to OS,
- added sending the same information from driver to OS like in Synaptic driver - maybe it helps FroyoBread people.
v003:
- removed all hacks - module is initialised in init section,
- two versions with and without tracking id sent to OS.
v002:
- code cleaning,
- module is removable using rmmod command,
- driver send track id to OS - visible in Multitouch Visualiser.
v001:
- just initial version
I should mention that der_mart published his version at nearly the same time: DT
Cypress product info:
I found this on cypress page:
Availability
The CY8CTMA340-XXX-03 (two-finger support) and CY8CTMA340-XXX-11 (four-finger support) device families are both available today from Cypress. Qualified customers can contact Cypress for more information and to obtain samples.

So everything depends which version of chip is in our X8.
Note:
It uses code to hijacking methods from doixanh X8Overclock module.

I'm not responsible if this module damages your lovely phone. Use it at your own risk!
Nice work. At least there's someone with Cypress device
Gratz!

Nothing really happened, for synaptic you must use X8Gesture module from doixanh
it works for me thanks a lot
Tried it twice yet (I rebooted the phone after the first success), no kernel panic, it works. As I wrote in the generic MT topic: "When you make 2 touch simultaenously it's ok, but when you lift one of your finger it won't recognise the second touch until you move your finger that left off on your screen."
Don't be offended, it is just a bug report, and I know this is the first DT module for us, and yet, it is now far better than the Fake MT that synaptics can do. We are really lucky that you're here and do this. Thanks a lot!
Now I'll try to make a kernel panic reboot. I'll report back how many tries it needs to fail the loading.
(on ROM FroyoBread v12- from doixanh <-- great man too )

Don't be sad or disappointed. You've got pinch zoom and game mode, so if you're not a big mobile gamer, it is like the cypress module. BTW this developement is for showing SE that how rude are they with their customers, and to say SE that they must stop lie and get these REAL developers on XDA a good job for good money! Because as I see, the devs here on XDA are far more good at programming than SE's developers. Cheers.
BTW Tomorrow I'll make a video of it, but now it is too late here for this
after reboot it doesn't work...
how can i reactivate it?
WOW real DT? Realy cool! We have so greaaaaaaat devs here on XDA! What they made and are making for us is realy incredible! So thx all of us!!! X8 rocks!

You need to insmod again.
If you wanna do it permanent, you need to edit hw_config, and add the insmod on it, you can check my signature, there's a HW_Config Editor

You can reactivate it only if you read AnDyX first post, even you'll get enlightened that this is not a permanent module, this is why it must not loaded at boot! It can cause kernel panic, so it is better for now if you load it manually after the OS loaded
Hi guys
I am new to android and i need some help. Apologies if i have posted this in the wrong place.
I manufacture and supply large touch screens to special needs schools and in the past i have used multitouch overlays that came with a mini pc android called istick by PQ Labs that were coded to work as multi touch. now i have changed touch panel product i need an android pc to work with it.
I am thinking of using a MK809iv and the company that supplies the overlay has sent me the mods that need to be made to the kernel but i have no idea how to do this.
Here is what they sent me.
Transplanting under Android4.0 For IRMT Multi Touch Frame Driver V1.1
The following method is suitable for the kernel which above Linux 3.0, we take an example of Kernel 3.08.
1. Add manufacturer ID and Device ID in the 352st line of “drivers/hid/hid-ids.h”
#define USB_VENDOR_ID_IRMTOUCH 0x23c9
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_IRMTOUCH_SSERIAL 0x5666
2. Add device according to put the following program in the 669st line of “/drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c”
/* IRM Multi-touch panel */
{ .driver_data = MT_CLS_CONFIDENCE,
HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_IRMTOUCH,
USB_DEVICE_ID_ IRMTOUCH_SSERIAL) },
3. Add special protocol support in the 1392st line of “drivers/hid/hid-core.c”
{HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_IRMTOUCH, USB_DEVICE_ID_IRMTOUCH_SSERIAL) },
4. Configuring the kernel. (menuconfig)
Firstly enter Device Drivers, then enter HID Devices ,then select Special HID drivers. Build-in HID Multitouch panels . ( select “*” )
Save and exit.
5. Compile the kernel and update the mirror of android 4.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
