Multitouch not working

[Guest That-Guy]

OK having problems with the Google Maps Fix (to get rotate working)

I added:

<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct" />

to the following file:

/system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml

Now multitouch does not work at all, have tried in Browser and in Google Maps, whats gone wrong? I also saw another guide that tells you to add the following:

<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen" /> 

	 <feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch" /> 

	 <feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct" />

to this file:

system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml

This also made no difference, I decided to copy back the original files from the ROM zip file using Root Explorer (copied and pasted over my edited files). I then restarted the phone and Multitouch is still not working ;)

What have I done? Is this easily fixable or do I need to reflash ROM (I hope not)

The first fix worked for me, sorry. Just install the ROM without a wipe, updated kernel and the fixes again and it should work again.

Just managed to fix it thank god.....

Where I took the file off the phone to the computer then copied back the file permissions were wrong.

They should be read/write, read & read (rw-r--r--) and I had some strange combination!

There was me thinking it would be quicker to edit the file on the computer and copy it back :)

Thanks for the quick reply though ;)

@That-Guy

Try it without that 1st line, works for me now. Like you I lost the finger zoom when I did it like you did...

<permissions>

	<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct" />

</permissions>

Hi, looks like Mike found a fix ;)
