Today I received my new passive stylus Adonit Jot Pro and I've noticed that when I realize small movements Android doesn't "detect" them. So I enabled the developer mode and set the Show touches and Pointer location features. After a few test I've seen that Android have a small "Dead Zone" defined. I suppose it's to avoid unwanted scrolls and touches dude small and involuntary finger movements. But, using stylus I want to get rid of this "Dead Zone" because
Does anyone knows if there's a hidden option, Xposed module, AOSP code location... way to remove it? Thanks.

I've been searching for the past hour and can't find an answer to this.
One issue that I have with touchflo is that I often accidentally select an item (or highlight an item/etc) when I try to stop scrolling (or, it'll select an item first, then start scrolling).. I've tried setting the sensitivity / finger pressure settings for touchflo (using diamondtweak) to various settings without any luck..
Basically I'll try scrolling by pressing the screen/moving my finger up or down (it follows) - when I release my finger, it selects the item that I'm on...
how can I get it to not select until I actually tap an item?

As a followup - what are people finding to be the optimal sensitivity settings?

I think this is just how WinMo works with touch screen. I have been used to the touch screen on my iPod touch and have been spoiled by Apple's touchscreen technology that when I got my touch pro a couple of weeks ago, I would also end up accidentally selecting an item (seems to happen more for me in email.) It was getting to be very frustrating but I have much better luck with the touch screen flick & scroll when using the stylus (kinda defeats the whole purpose of the touch screen though.)

I just tried ftouchsl (I had a licensed copy from before) - and had the same results My main issue is with kenetic scrolling - stopping the scrolling usually results in selecting an item
REQUEST TO DEVELOPERS - why not write a little app that uses the capacitive bottom part of the diamond/touch pro to scroll??

I like the idea of molesting the bottom of my phone to scroll things

Wrong Forum, but same question...
I'm guessing this app would show the changes of capacitance in the electrostatic field, in a graphic way. If you touch the screen, where your finger is, the area would light up underneath.
Does anyone know of an app like this?
there are a few app. search the android market for "multitouch test"
Thanks mate. Touch Test was the one I wanted.
So I was looking for an app with palm rejection for the Transformer Prime. I was kind of looking for something similar to Notetaker HD for the iPad which uses the bezel of the tablet as the palm rejection area.
I couldn't find anything similar on the Android market so I decided to give another try on Supernotes. What I ended up doing was putting a regular computer mouse pad on top of the tablet and using the "Guided Line" feature to make sure that I was on the right spot. So far so good, this is in fact the best solution that I found and works way better than any other app!
However I'm having problems reading my own notes. I can't seem to find a simple Zoom feature on Supernotes, so could someone tell me how to zoom in? If it is not possible, are there other apps that have a similar "guided-line" feature and its as organized as Supernotes.
Thanks a lot!
I am not aware of a way to zoom in SuperNotes either. That has been my biggest problem with it.
Here are some handwriting apps that I have tried on the Transformer Prime that have zoom features that you may want to check out:
LectureNotes: my favorite (so far). Has scroll bars and zoom feature so you can write in the zoomed mode. Has option to enable a "save zone" for palm detection. 3 standard pens, and 12 custom pens that you can configure the size, color, and opacity. Can add multiple layers (overlays) to each page. Can enter text via keyboard. Can add keywords to each page, and search across notebooks for those keywords. Developer is very responsive, and has implemented suggestions and fixes quickly. There is a free trial version (limited # of notebooks and pages), and a paid version.
Writepad Stylus: Very good palm detection. Has zoom mode (can write in zoom mode), and scrolling. 3 standard pens, and 4 custom pens. 4 paper types, but cannot change the pattern size. Can enter text via keyboard, but it's a bit quirky.
Antipaper Notes: No palm detection. Has zoom mode, (can write in zoom mode), and scrolling. 6 pen sizes in 3 colors (15 colors in Pro version). 4 paper patterns, but cannot change the pattern size. No text entry for keyboard. Free and Pro version.
Hope this helps...
Yeah note taking apps on android are really behind ios right now but it seems like things are picking up. Hopefully in few months we will see something comparable to Notability.
Try wearing a glove or long sleeve. Better than carrying around a mouse pad.

Have you tried to enable palm rejection using TouchScreenTune app from the market? It should allow palm rejection support everywhere in all apps.

I think that TouchScreenTune requires your device to be Rooted, correct? I've been holding off rooting my Prime, but this may be a good reason to do so.
Just downloaded the Access Graffiti app yesterday. It is just like the Palm Graffiti from the old days. It's pretty awesome with the Note since we have a Stylus... er... S-Pen.
Anybody else use the app?
Q:
Any idea how to click "enter" when trying to submit a search?
Q:
I wish there was a way to do on the fly switching between keyboard and Graffiti. Perhaps this exists and I'm just missing it [?]. [it would be amazing if there was a way to default to keyboard unless the stylus was removed - but as far as I know the phone doesn't sense the presence of the stylus].
The phone does sense the spen.
Put the tip of the pen close to the screen but not touching and you will notice it keeps the screen from turning off

It doesn't sense when the S-Pen is removed - If I had one major gripe, I'd say that is it. It would be nice to have the screen turn on the moment you remove the S-Pen.
Hey man, I just downloaded the Graffiti for Android. It's actually pretty awesome. Now I just need to memorize the keys... I don't know if figured it out already but I have an answer from your first questions.
"Q: Any idea how to click "enter" when trying to submit a search?"
If you tap and drag from the top right diagonally to bottom left it is the command for "return". Actually you can see all the commands if you swype up. A little window will show up and you can cycle through the box of commands by tapping.
I love this Graffiti app!
Is there any secret settings where you can diagnose or check the touch screen or hardware. These ghost touches are making me wonder if it's just my phone that has the problem.
I know Samsung has a secret menu that checks the hardware.
You can enable developers options, then toggle"show touches".
Yes I already did that, and the touch data shows that where two fingers touch the screen, the coordinates where those touches intersect, wil trigger virtual buttons of the app currently being used. It usually happens on the top half of the phone, especially if you swipe both fingers.
Pls verify if yours does the same, other wise I won't know if it's just my phone, or unless someone can give a touch screen test diagnoses that will confirm something is wrong with the touch screen
