Hello everybody, (I checked and searched before posting .... )
The question is similar to others previously posted ... but never answered though!
When I compare IOS and Android (which I prefer, for a number of reasons) what really annoys me is the screen rotation reactivity (not the speed which is ok).
That is: in IOS the screen starts rotating before I finalise the orientation change (assumining 0 degree to 90 clockwise, it starts around 70) with the consequence that when the movement is completed the screen is already correctly oriented.
In Android it waits for the movement to be completed and then ... it decides it's time to move! With the obvious noticeable lag in response.
Is it possible to somehow replicate IOS behavior in this aspect? Even if it's a small detail I believe it would make the overall user experience much better (and appreciated, not only by me I guess)
Many thanks to anybody might help.
Cheers.

Hi, I've searching for a few months now, ever since I got to try a Pre3, but haven't found yet.
What I'm talking about is a visual response to touch. Whenever you touch the screen, you see a "mark" where you touched, and it stays there for an instant after you take the finger off. It's not for when you drag, just when you touch.
Is there any mod for android, to do this?
Cheers

Wow, no answers? I never tought this would be something hard, just that no one ever thought of it...
Is there any way to have constant ripple efect ?
Bear with me here, this issue is kind of hard to describe. When I am playing a game that requires touch inputs from both hands, I often get bugs. It's most obvious in games that have controller-style overlays. As is normal, I am using my left thumb to tell a character to move right or left, and then I press the button on the right to jump. However, when I release my jump, I stop running. The screen no longer recognizes that my left thumb has been pressed down the whole time and should still be moving in the direction I am pressing. This happens in Bean's Quest, Chono'n'Cash, Delver, Gunman Clive, and any other game of this nature I have tried on my device.
I played some of these games just fine on my old Evo. Is anyone experiencing this issue? I experienced it on stock as well as several custom roms I have tried.
Turn off "Htc gestures" you'll find it in settings, display & gestures!
When the display senses three finger inputs it renders it touch inputs useless...run a multi-touch test app and you'll see.

Doesn't seem to have fixed my issue, I am still having problems with some two finger games. I will be using two fingers just fine, when I remove one finger from the display the first finger is no longer recognized even though it is still touching. I have to remove the first finger and press it again every time.
Do U have any type of lock screen installed. If so uninstall. Use only stock.

Appears that widgetlocker is the culprit! Is this issue documented or known, exactly? What causes it? Thanks so much for the help. I will surely miss widgetlocker.

I encountered this recently
It seemed to get "stuck" after using multi touch gestures in-game. Tapping the game with two fingers often "unstuck" it, but overall it was extremely frustrating.
This was on an APK not designed for the phone, though
Sorry to bring back up an old thread (is 6 days even considered old?) anyway you HAVE to disable the HTC 3 touch setting gesture because it will ignore anything more than 2 (3 will only register if you swipe up or down, but sense itself registers it, nothing else).
Just made the video below as proof (forgive my foreign accent xD):
Our screen supports (at least) 10 different points (was going to try 11 but I could not get my nose on the screen with my fingers and my girlfriend is asleep).
EDIT: Two things, one: I had widgetlocker installed while I did the above video, it caused no problems. Two: the maximum number of inputs our phones can handle is 10, incase anyone was curious.
EDIT 2: While I don't have the issue with widgetlocker it seems that it is a known problem, but you don't have to disable the lock screen altogether. Go into widgetlocker settings> advanced> retain system key guard. Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652038

Installed widget locker again. tried this, multi touch failed. Uninstalled, and back to 10.

Did you try my edit 2? The Retain System keyguard? I can assure you that I have Widgetlocker installed and I have the 10 inputs (that video was recorded with widgetlocker running).
[SOLVED!] - HTC Evo 4G LTE touch screen trouble - WidgetLocker is the problem
Retaining system keyguard in WidgetLocker worked for me! Thank you for this Racer for All. (Actually I found your YouTube video, and a link to this thread)
I was wondering why all the games I played all of a sudden stopped functioning properly (in terms of touch controls... Example: MineCraft PE, moving forward and trying to look left or right - suddenly character would stop moving.)
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I want people to know if they have WidgetLocker (and don't want to uninstall it) just go to Settings - Advanced - Retain system keyguard - zmag
This ROM is working very well on my UK Rhod 100. Very stable & fast and since the latest update I have the correct HW keyboard layout. Battery life is limited but carrying a second battery is an easy solution.
The previous problems where the screen would not turn on after several pushes of the power button almost never occurs. However when the battery runs down to about 30% the screen always changes such that a red overlay occurs visible mainly on screens with a white background (see pics). Also when the screen changes ghost images remain from previous screens. Also at this point sometimes the screen will not turn on despite repeated use of the power button. Strangley, even though there is nothing visible on the screen I can unlock the phone by swiping in the expected area (and get haptic feedback) and long press the power button and turn off the device by pressing in the expected areas. Upon a reboot the screen will initially be back to normal but then if the battery is below 30% the problem will return. These issues never occur if the battery is above 30%. If I take screenshots with shootme the pics captured look normal when viewed after a reboot before the problem recurs. Not sure what the system does when the battery falls to this level but the screen is definitely affected. This problem also occurs with a fresh install with no apps installed.
If anyone has any ideas as to what could be the cause (and even better a solution) it would be most welcome. Thanks to all those behind this project.
Sorry you are having troubles. Unfortunately as noted in the first post for that thread we only have RHOD400s to test with. No one else has reported any similar issues. The 100s are known to be the problem children of the RHOD family. If you come up with a fix let us know, and we will try to include it in any future releases.

Did you look at ACL's work on RE'ing that panel code...?
He said something about the panel power up/power down sequence on the 100's (the AUO panel specifically) to be quite a bit different.

arrrghhh, I noted your post in the ROM development thread regarding the start up sequence in the OMGB kernel for the AUO panel. Perhaps this would solve my issue as well. If this change could be added to the next edition of this ROM my device would be virtually bug free.
As noted in the thread, we do not have any RHOD100s to test with. It is very unlikely that this will happen. If you would like to make your own kernel with these changes I can post it.
issue or not?
hi,
thanks a lot, first of all.
I've been trying to figure out how to get an Italian keyboard layout.
any suggestion?
-p.

try using AItype Keyboard Plus which supports multiple languages and keyboard layouts
Sorry I didn't express myself properly. I meant the physical keyboard. In other thread I read something about a startup.txt file, I don't know if it applies to this ROM (and moreover I can't find it).

startup.txt files are only for the SD card versions of the android roms.
You would need to edit the keyboard map. Here is generic android keyboard map info.
There may be apps out there than can change your keyboard map, but I don't know any details about that.
Also in the future it would be best to start your own thread, rather than using an unrelated one. Better yet, post the questions about the rom you are working with in the thread for that rom.
i am having also a screen problem with that Rom and Kernel:
My screen is not calibrated. When i press it's being pressed on somewhere else on the screen.
P.S.
My RAM is not 100 +- this rom showing me 33 for usage on the device :S.
Can someone help me with those two ?

Did you read the link that covered screen calibration listed under related goodies, or did you search for the threads that cover screen calibration under android? Tell us what you have tried, but didn't work.
No idea what you mean by the ram is not 100.
What the heck is going on here? Is this just the thread to jack?
Let's focus on the display issues please folks, as in your response should be related to the original post.

In an attempt to bring this thread back on topic I thought I'd report back that the original problem has not happened for a few weeks. My setup is essentially unchanged, the only change is that I have been using One Power Guard to try and improve battery life, which by the way seems to be effective. Managed 13hours with light use (few calls/occassional data for email web browsing)
Anyway it could be coincidence but it is possible that one of the tweaks performed by the app has sorted this issue. Since nobody else has reported the same problem I'm not sure how useful this info is but hopefully it may be of use to someone.
Hello.
I apologize in advance if this is not the right forum to post in, or if it's not the right site at all, but a friend whose specialty is Android led me here, and told me to post my problems here.
I am a long-time iOS user. But I am also disabled : I have 1/20th vision on my left eye and nothing on the right one. My eyes are easily blinded by light, and as such I find it painful to read text on a screen when it's black on a white background. In Windows, for instance, I change the Windows theme back to Classic Windows so I can edit the different colors that make windows, buttons, and menus so they are easier on my eyes. In OSX, I use the 'Invert Video' feature on a shortcut key, so that when I press it, the screen suddenly inverts all colors, makign it much easier on my eyes. (Sadly, it also inverts colors on pictures, but that's okay, I can live with switching back and forth if needed.) On Chrome (any OS), I use the Stylish extension to force every site's CSS to follow my own and keep backgrounds dark and text light... You get the idea. On iOS, a similar feature to the one in OSX exists, and you have to press the home button three times to switch it on or off.
If I'm posting on this forum, this is because I have questions regarding Android's features for disabled people like me.
From my understanding, and from what I briefly tried on my sister's Acer E330 (Android 4.0.4) there is no such feature. A friend with a Nexus 4 confirmed this too.
I was wondering if there was some kind of plugin, addon, extension, app or whatever that would allow me to redefine Android's interface (a theme perhaps?) or even better, some kind of 'Invert Video' feature just like on iOS. I'm asking about this because I'm considering buying a Android device since I realized I was starting to have problems with some displays used on recent iPhones, iPads, Macbooks or even on regular PC laptops like MSIs' or Samsungs'.
The problem I have has been unresolved so far as there is no way to tell what part/setting of recet LCD/LED displays make my eyes sore after about 5 minutes of use. I did a lot of research without being able to find out what caused this exactly, but a lot of people seem to have the same kind of problem while having a normal eyesight unlike I do.
So, right now, two things prevent me from being sure if I should buy a Android phone or not :
- I need to make sure the display is fine with my eyes.
- And the reason why I'm posting this here, is that I want to know if it's possible to have the same kind of feature on iOS/OSX for changing colors of the whole screen by the press of a physical button on the device several times (this seems like the best solution, as a system setting switch would be a bit painful to use. FYI I really overuse and abuse this feature because it allows me to quickly switch to a dark background on white pages, while restoring the normal colors if the next page I'm visiting has a black background.)
So there it is, again, I apologize if that wasn't the right forum or anything. I hope someone here can help me with this problem. I'm not a die-hard Apple fanboy : I just happen to use their devices because they are the simplest to work with considering my disability.
Thanks in advance.
Hello XDA!
This thread is to report regarding problems faced by me in Redmi Note 4 running MIUI 9.6.3.0 (LOCKED BOOTLOADER)
The much teased Lighting Fast MIUI9 seems to be mocking lightning itself.
The recent update have not only made the phone slower and laggy but also nerfed the overall experience
Few of such issues are --
*Delay in FingerPrint Sensor
The delay is significant, to the extent that even after placing your finger screen pops up 3-4sec later or you have to keep placing your finger 3-4 times back to back
Now it's not the issue with hardware, it works well usual for everything else
*SD Card is mounted everytime after waking up phone after a long time
Now this issue, is a 'feature' of MIUI or not I don't know?
But every time when you wake up phone after 15-20mins it shows 'SD is ready for use' in the notification area
And now the SD isnt showing up at all(Any Help?)
*Overall lag and Not-so-smooth transitions
The notification pull down, the cache loading, media loading, multi tasking, up and down scrolling everything seems to be laggy... Not in a drastic and force closes way but there's no smooth transition
Now Im not being choosey and critic but the lag is noticable and it's not cool because it wasn't there before
I've summarised my issue in these three sub headings
I'd be happy if the community can help me out and how can I make my phone experience better
I'd be thankful for your reply
I know issues like this might require logs so please tell me how can I help in that way
Regards,
XdaPoseidon
