[PORT REQUEST][DeV's only][SXU Floating touch] - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

COULD SOME DEV PLEASE HELP!!!:fingers-crossed:
I'm Sure floating touch can be ported to any android device by setting the screen sensitivity very high so that a way on the screen gets interpreted into a touch
.
.
This floating touch mod/port for the galaxy sl I9003 and galaxy 3(not galaxy s 3 just galaxy 3 I5800) thread states that floating touch can be enabled on most android devices , if someone(THATS WHERE THE DEV'S COME IN THE PICTURE) could find out for us which is the file that is responsible for the screen sensitivity
.
.
.
Heres the link to
the app that provides a gui for changing the sensitivity

.Link to the actual thread from which the above thread/ app was created

link to thread that says any device can have floating touch!!(yipee but as i read , it turns into a frown cause it states all devices if the correct file can be dertermined )

I think glove mode can be ported but not the floating touch in browser cuz other devices cant make a difference between floating and touching...

Floating touch can't be ported to other devices, unless they use a similar touchscreen. You can have the 'floating' effect everywhere by setting the sensitivity to a very high value, but you won't be able to distinguish hover events and touch events that way.

What if we dont need to differentiate
Why do we need to differentiate at all??
at an earlier stage, we could make the phone to respond to floats as touches, so that the fingerprint is not a menace any more
PS im a noob , thats why i need some one to help me find out the correct touchscreen file to be modded:fingers-crossed:

It's not a single file anyway. Also, you just haven't tried that. It'll register random touches EVERYWHERE.

Maybe Maybe not , i aint so experienced...

its just one file actually(maybe as per the thread which says to mod only one file), btw i even tried but couldnt find the path cause i got confused of which directory ahead...
.
.
. Please buddy Help me!!
Even if i get random touches, atleast it will be a start...
i dont mind giving the whole credit (whosoever if he/she helps ) but atleast lets try?:angel:
.
P.s. Check out all links for sure to have a better idea of what we actually are talking about(no offence intended but just in case you are an experienced developer still, please check)
A must try is the app which does the job...
Also till what i know is that the touch screen driver-file-to-be-modded lies in /sys/class/touch/switch/set_touchscreen/ for the galaxy s I9003
BUT for XPERIA U, i aint sure. I think it lies in /sys/class/input/

The Xperia U has a different touchscreen, which might or might not have manual sensitivity adjustment. I'm pretty sure it does not.

dude, galaxy 3 and Xperia U has the same touch sensing technology
so why cant we mod !?
is it that you just dont want this feature to be ported to anyother device, but rather stay on the device with which it actually came??

I'm pretty sure the sensor on the Galaxy 3 is not the same. It's the same vendor, but not the same model. I might be able to help you if you post the output of "find /sys/" in adb shell.

The app doesn't work, because it's intended for a different device with a different digitizer. The /sys file responsible is also relocated because a different device with a different digitizer needs a different kernel module, and the /sys files are created by that.

It can't be done n stop insulting senior members by telling em to stop posting if they ain't interested, if dey weren't they would even reply
This is the problem with noobs they dun noe **** abt the devices and they expect magic/miracles from modders with features that device can't Hv due to hardware restrictions!!!
So if u think it can be done and you can do it and senior members/modders cant then I got jus 3 words foe u
"DO IT URSELF"
(Next tym pls do watch ur attitude and ur mouth before running it on senior members like K900 k)
