[MOD/FIX][Photon/Electrify] WaterDrop Detection (Finally DISABLE this "Feature"!!)
I DIDNT CREATE THIS SCRIPT OR THE ZIP SO MAKE SURE TO THANK -
[nok07635] for the Script & [Notorious544d] for the .ZIP in the Atrix forums.
MAKE SURE TO BACK UP ALL YOUR STUFF IN-CASE MURPHY'S LAW COMES A KNOCKIN<<<< I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS MESSES UP YOUR PHONE, YOU KNOW THE DEAL!!!
The Water-Drop detection feature to prevent false touches on the Mopho and Atrix should've never been implemented in the first place. It disables the touch screen for 2 seconds if it detects input for more than about 10 seconds on the screen. Very noticeable when playing games in which the screen is to be pressed for more than a tap such as racing games for acceleration like racingmoto or games like GTAIII where you need to constantly be either walking/running or driving and have the on screen button(s) pressed for extended periods of time. The touch screen would become unresponsive after detecting this "touch" for more than about 10 seconds, thinking its a drop of water on the screen. Then takes a 3 seconds to reset before allowing screen input touches again.

This was implemented to stop raindrops from selecting random stuff when it was raining. It was a driver used in the Motorola Defy as it was waterproof and was ported over to the Atrix . However, as the Atrix wasn't waterproof, it created annoying problems, especially when gaming.

Finally there's a FIX for the so called "feature", YAYERRR!!!!
I Have personally tested this .zip, Flashed in CWM on my MoPho and tested with angry birds (holding the slingshot used to let go when feature kicked in) and also on RacingMoto and can verify that it does indeed work and well might i add.
Im currently running and verified on Skinny complete v1

VERIFY THE MOD WORKED:
To verify that it has worked, download RacingMoto (or play a game you already have installed that you know for sure will have the "FEATURE" activate) and play a couple levels, which will have holding down the gas button. If you're able to make it through the first 2 levels without slowing down or stopping unintentionally, The Raindrop_Fix.zip WORK!!!
IF YOU TRY THIS ON YOUR MOPHO PLEASE:
POST WORKS OR DOESN'T WORK ON THE ROM YOUR ON
ROOTED OR UNROOTED
LOCKED OR UNLOCKED
PLEASE POST WHICH ROM SO WE CAN GET A LIST GOING.

Can anyone who uses Swype confirm Dsparil's impression after the mod?? I don't personally use or like swype so i wouldnt feel the difference if it does indeed make it run smoother.
VERIFIED NOT WORKING ON:
(will update as people post/ hopfully wont have to update this not working list though)
Before i post this on here as a definitely not workin, can someone with a GSM(??) mopho on Cm7 try to reproduce this..

Does this work on stock rooted? (Using adb push)

Thank you! Sprint's only Tegra 2 device can now actually play games. I ran a full race of Mario Kart 64, and it's finally fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm on stock rooted, and I just backed up replaced the file in the "22" folder and changed permission to rw r r and rebooted. It worked perfectly with no issues at all.
I may not need to upgrade my phone after all.
I noticed that the max input is now 5. Does it break if I change it to a higher number like 8? What the heck, 5 should be plenty. My number one pet peeve with this purchase has been solved.
It may be placebo, but I also notice Swype behaving much better.

So is this basically just a multi touch type mod? Like it enables more than two points of touch? Or is there something else that this does?
I'm just thinking that if you already have 5 or 8 touch points then why would this matter to have? Just trying to clarify in my mind at least what this does exactly
Nvm i see it now. how i saw it was using a multi touch testing app and sure enough after holding my finger in one spot and moving another finger around the screen for about 10 seconds the screen stopped responding. Thanks for the find!!!

Definitely works on cm9. Didn't need to even wipe cache or dalvik. Hoping this can start to be a built in option on our roms.

Works on rooted stock 198_7 locked bootloader! Flashed through bootstrap after wiping cache and dalvik. 5 point multi touch too!

This is built into cm9 now. Thanks a ton.

I can't believe how much better Swype is working. It's like I got a new touch screen. This can't simply be a placebo effect.

Did you make sure to have "Mount as R/W" pressed so that itll take? can you explain exactly what you did, or the exact steps taken, where did you put the original file?
I only ask because it has been confirmed working on Cm7 Mopho, and this mod was originally written for the Atrix which is a GSM phone. Maybe try a different method on the list? I want this to work for you too cause we shouldnt have to live with this "feature" if we dont like it.

I tried this with jokercomplete and for so reason my screen was locking up from left to right! I flashed the zip thru CWM.

Try clearing your Dalvik cache and cache, and reflashing the zip.
That's what I flashed mine on, jokercomplete so maybe it was something in cache that booked it. Let us know if it works after clearing and flashing again

Went from 2 to 5 touch points and doesn't time out. Used the drag & drop method.
Great Stuff
Thank-You
