[01/14/2009] TouchResponse 031 - Vibrate on touch

Discussion here

Code

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450256

01/14/09 - The latest update should properly update a version that is cooked into a custom rom. Let me know if you run into any problems. Thanks!

01/13/09 - I hope you enjoy this newest update. It doesn't have all the features I hoped to have by this time but it's a step in the right direction. I am going to try and have more regular updates in the future.

If the vibration does not work for you in this version, please send me a message with the information found in the Device tab of the Settings program.

Feel free to give comments or ask questions.

Thanks![/B]

This program is a touch driver to handle the touchscreen presses and vibration. A settings program exists to configure how the vibration works.

Since this is a touch driver, there is no program you need to run to start it.

It has been tested on an HTC Touch and HTC Touch Pro for several days with several stability issues corrected. I am only releasing this now that I feel comfortable that you will experience no major issues. However, I cannot guarantee that it will work flawless for you. I cannot be held responsible for any loss of data or time you may experience while using this.

If you are experiencing problems after installation, please let me know so I can fix these issues.

Features

• Global enable/disable option
• Vibrate on touch/release
• Variable duration of vibrate
• Disable during Phone Call option
• Disable when phone is on silent
• Disable when stylus is out (for devices that support this option)
• Enabled for On-Screen Keyboard only (Temporary option until full include/exclude list is incorporated)
• Settings Program->Settings->System->TouchResponse Settings

Coming Soon

• Include/Exclude list for vibration
• Different vibration patterns
• Resolve any software conflicts
• Vibration tweaks
• AppToDate Support
• Sound on touch
• Vibrate on hardware button press
• Multi-language support in Settings program
• I'm open to suggestions...

Known Issues

• May or may not play well with touchflo/ftouchsl. If TouchResponse isn't working for you, try disabling those if they are enabled.

Questions and Answers
Q. How to I change the settings?
A. Start->Settings->System->TouchResponse Settings

Q. Why is it not vibrating when I touch the screen?
A. Go to the Device tab in TouchResponse Settings. It will display information about your device. If it says to select your vibrate id then find the one that causes the vibrate to work. Send me a PM with the name of your device model along with the vibrate id that works for you and I will incorporate that into future releases.

Q. Will this drain my battery life?
A. I don't have any statistics to show the before and after battery usage. However, I personally have not experienced any significant increase in battery usage. It all depends on how long the vibrate duration is and how often you touch the screen.

Q. Why does the vibrate last longer than it's supposed to sometimes?
A. This should hopefully be resolved as of version .02.2. If you experience this after this version, please let me know when it happens and how often.

Q. Why is the vibration always the same duration no matter what the settings are set at?
A. Use a registry editor to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>OEM>VIB and set STRENGTH_LOW to 0.

what do you mean it sends you to a bunch of junk? you need to be specific since no one here can read minds or what your phone says for you..... what junk did it bring you too? what did it say? what type of files?

[traviefresh]

ok so i download it to my phone.go to fille explorer. and there are 1 setup,4 that say touch 1,and 1 that syas touch 2.when i click setup it goes to the internet and says me%20documents/my%20.then if i click one of the touch ones it says "there is no application associated with touchr~1. run the application first,the open this file from within the application."

umm this is a cab file. all you have to do is click on the file and it automatically installs, it asks where you want to install it, device or card, and pick card, soft reset done. i dont fully understand how you see all the other files in the cab????

[traviefresh]

well thats what it say. ?

umm bro where ALL here to help you, and dash has explained it a bunch of times i see, you must be doing someting wrong. place the entire cab in your device via activesync. i'd place it in your sd card. then using file explorer doupke tap on the cab and let it run, click on device when promtped to selct where to install. and soft reset, dash & anyother staff and members will tell you the same thing bro.

you prolly opened the cab file expoising the xml and its components thust explaining the setup file and the others. just download the file AS IS, tranfer to your device, and click on it with file explorer on your device. it should install by itself

ok no need to double post, but why are you saving to winrar? this is a cab file bro, i explained it, sorry to sound like a d*ck but really it is so simple and it doesnt even sound like your readin our posts. just drag the cab on to your device via activesync. drag it to your sd card. use file explorer and DOUBLE click on the cab. it will the SELF EXTRACT and ask you where to save it. CLICK on DEVICE and after it installs soft reset.

[traviefresh]

man its just not working.do i download it from my phone or the computer

[TaylorSPJ]

your phone....you only use your computer to put the cab file in the phone. then after that you can unplug your phone from the computer.

[Mike20PR]

the confusing thing about downloading cabs in the pc is that it cant recognize the format and uses winrar to open the file thust tearing apart the cab

just pass it to your device as a "winrar" format and notice that the device will see it as a cab file that you can install the app with

[traviefresh]

ok i get that part but when i click the cab on my computer i download it ok.then it makes me save it to something on my computer.tell me what i am doin wrong

[TaylorSPJ]

just drag the entire file that downloads into the phone, dont open it up with winrar, dont try to change it formatt, just drag the entire file into the phone.

[traviefresh]

i dont no what u mean drag,because i have to open it with something.

[TaylorSPJ]

same way you drag files from on folder to another on a pc. when you are connected to activesync you can open up folders in your phone, with the touchresponse cab you click on it and hold, and drag it to your desired location on device and let go.

[traviefresh]

man its jus not working

This happens to me sometimes when I try and download a cab to my pc. Its cause winrar extracts the files inside the cab when you try and move it. Just download it from your phone and the cab will install.

[djembefola]

Works perfect for me and I did was install the cab 1 time.

Aight Traviefresh.... you pm'ed me a few days ago for help with this... Sorry I didnt get back to you... been a lil busy... but I figured you'd get all the help you needed within the appropriate thread...

It soundns to me, like Shownuff was right... your opening the cab file after its already been downloaded and saved to your computer. basically all you really have to do is drag and drop as TaylorSpj was trying to explain to you in earlier post... but since your having technical difficulties with that...

you simplest solution would be to use your phones browser to come to this thread, and download directly to your storage card... once you do that... go to it using your 'file explorer' and click it to activate, once u do that, itll ask you to choose the location to install (i.e. your device or storage card)...since its a driver your going to want to install it on your 'device'... follow any instructions on your phone screen and your good to go...

Once its installed youll be able to find it under start menu> setting> touch response ... set it up how u like and whalla... you now have vibrating functions

hope this helps!

just an fyi bro, there are thousands of sweet apps for your phone here at Wckediden and they are all a matter of personal preferences you just gotta search and try things out for yourself...plus pm's for support are not allowed...the best way to find sweet apps is to click on "unread posts" and see what people are posting, usually the more posts a thread has the more people are using something and that is usually a pretty sweet app.
