Enabling Multitouch/Driver Installation on the Xperia X10 (Dual Touch)

[GamesReviewLive]

How i can enable Dual touch on my xperia x8 ?? Upload video or tell me please ... Thanks

[BluechipJ]

@GamesReviewLive READ... THE... DESCRIPTION.

[TheAMDlover]

will it work on 2.33 except 2.1 ?

[BluechipJ]

@TheAMDlover ... this video is over a year old... and obsolete. The official v2.3 is now out and already has multitouch built in.

[PinkFloyd45333]

I did everything ! but it doesnt work , first way doesnt work , second way doesn't work ! and I'm so angry beacause all of my contents are deleted ! help plz !

[BluechipJ]

@PinkFloyd45333 1. This video is obsolete. Why aren't you using the official v2.3?

2. It's your own fault. The FIRST line in the description (before I just edited just now) is: "Backup your phone before attempting this." That's why Backup & Restore exists.

[PinkFloyd45333]

@BluechipJ I have a X10 mini pro , fu*k my contents !!! now why I cant use multi touch ? I did everything but ... ! help me plz !

[BluechipJ]

@PinkFloyd45333 *facepalm* You're install X10 software onto an X10 Mini Pro. Not even similar.

Link to the X10 Mini Pro dual-touch add-on added to the description. It's included in most new ROMs. Install a custom ROM with it in included. Read XDA.

[BluechipJ]

@PinkFloyd45333 ... the link to the thread was already there.

READ. "X10 Mini Pro: ..."

[PinkFloyd45333]

@BluechipJ thx but I have some problems with Xrecovery , I cant install ROMs on my phone !!! I'll try again but this is my 10th time !

[paulebe525]

can i update my sony Ericsson w8 ....please tell the proper way to up date .....my enail id paulebe525@gmail.com...thank u in advance

[BluechipJ]

@paulebe525 ... Download PC Companion.

[paulebe525]

@BluechipJ no use of this pc companion ......i would like to update multitouch on my w8

[BluechipJ]

@paulebe525 Go the XDA forums for the W8. Thread #1223860.

[paulebe525]

@BluechipJ thank you so much...!

[paulebe525]

@BluechipJ thanks a lot ... successfully updated thanks for your instruction

[ackos03]

man i cant when a put ¨su¨ say ¨permission denied¨, so whats wrong? i have superuser appl, im from mexico and my phome its in spanish. please answer thanks

[BluechipJ]

@ackos03 Why are you even using this? It's 10 months old. Every single ROM has it built-in. Why aren't you using the official v2.3?

[ackos03]

@BluechipJ ???? what do you mean? be a little more xplicit please...

[BluechipJ]

@ackos03 This video only applies to v2.1. It is obsolete. No one uses v2.1 any more.

The official v2.3 was released in September.

[ackos03]

@BluechipJ ooo so if i change mi android2.1 to 2.3 will be multitouch?

[BluechipJ]

@ackos03 Even if it wasn't, why wouldn't you be using v2.3 anyways? And yes, v2.3 is multitouch.

[maxsnm1]

pla el multi thouch de tu video tambien es para xperia x8 y es permanente reponde a mi canal

[SilverS21995]

how do i uninstall it from my x10 mini?

[BluechipJ]

@SilverS21995 You can't uninstall. The files have been modified. Flash your phone again.

[Blahrangersko]

Update service

It says This software is not available for the Xperia™ X10.

What should i do?

[BluechipJ]

@Blahrangersko Umm... what? This isn't using Update Service. This is using the Flash Tool.

Anyways, this is 8 months old. Dual-touch is already included in all new ROMs.

[Blahrangersko]

@BluechipJ It said in the video you must need pc companion and update service.

[BluechipJ]

@Blahrangersko Because those install the drivers so your computer recognizes the phone and allows FlashTool to work.

[Blahrangersko]

@BluechipJ Anyways its all good because i updated my phone and i got dual touch on new updateXDthanks anyways tho :P

[pierredavidify]

its not working on my x8 it is not ok with the updated x8

[BluechipJ]

@pierredavidify Read the development thread.

[maizemeal11]

does any one know how to remove this

[BluechipJ]

@maizemeal11 You can't remove it. Backup your phone and flash a firmware to restore. Or use PC Companion to repair.

[Mustafaq9]

i have an x10 mini pro...

i instALled the drivers and it keeps showing open application settings and turn on unknown sources and usb debugging.

i did both and tried again but it keeps showing the same error and even touch test does not detect dual touch.. :/

[BluechipJ]

@Mustafaq9 It always shows that after flashing, regardless of success or failure.

Make sure the FlashTool is indeed flashing your phone.

Make sure you've got the USB drivers installed and the phone is actually recognized.

Other than that, I can't help you since I don't have a Mini.

[deeptrelos]

Next time I'm in Toronto,. im gonna bring my phone by to your place,. and you can pimp it up for me....lol .. I got two left hands!! lol

[DaniGladson]

wont tat multitouch work on x10 mini???not the pro!!....

[viniciusdefreitasm]

work... tank you man

[ChuchcoCucho]

In wich apps multitouch actually works? (Xperia Mini Pro)

Cuz i've already done this, but it seems that only Angry Birds and Meganoid respond to the dual touch.

Not the photo viewer. Not the web browser. Not Google maps.

[BluechipJ]

@ChuchcoCucho I don't have a Mini so I can't comment. Go read the Mini threads.

On the X10, dual-touch works in the browser, Maps, etc.

[Silentreaver]

I have a U20a version of the X10 mini pro... Will the dual touch drivers work for that? the Build number for this is ( 2.0.2.A.0.24 ) with 2.1 update 1.... The instructions seem straightforward but the dual touch might only be designed for U20i with builds 2.1.A.0.435 and update 2.1 update 1... So can you clarify this if it's gonna be "Safe" on my phone version... Thanks!

[BluechipJ]

@Silentreaver i and a only refer to the radios and 3G frequencies. Other hardware (e.g. the touchscreen) should be identical.

[Silentreaver]

@BluechipJ Ok I tried the dual touch and did it according to the instructions and it seemed to have been successful when it flashed and all but when I try the touch test it only detects 1 touch though :( this is on a x10 mini pro.

[Syahmi246]

@BluechipJ Ok so, i did everything you asked to do except for the root part as i have it. My problem is that i cannot even have the dual touch. Tried testing it with different touch tester. Please help, thank you.

[BluechipJ]

@Syahmi246 I don't have an X8. There's no way for me to test/verify any of this.

Read the original developer thread and/or ask in the X8 forums.

[qinfuyao]

hey, can you tell me what 'build number' you using on the video please?

[BluechipJ]

@qinfuyao Whatever comes with 2.1update1 build 2.1.A.0.435.

[qinfuyao]

@BluechipJ ok. Is '2.1.A.0.435.' the latest version?

[BluechipJ]

@qinfuyao ... yes. Before asking an obvious question, go to the original flash tool website.

[TheDivineKiller97]

I can use in Xperia x8?

[BluechipJ]

@TheDivineKiller97 READ... THE... DESCRIPTION!

[95mrchicho]

very good but no one in Spanish

[GuillotineXross]

uum if we use a Custom ROM we must re-install this multitouch or not?...because if we use a custom ROM we must wipe all the data right

[BluechipJ]

@GuillotineXross Depends on the ROM. Some have the drivers integrated already. Read the ROM's page.

[TheCyprianTV]

does x8 screen support dual touch...??

can i use this software to enable dual touch on my x8?

[BluechipJ]

@TheCyprianTV Description updated with X8 info.

Depends on the ROM. Some have it integrated.

[BluechipJ]

@jmountaindu Did you reboot after rooting? Have you tried an app ON the phone that requires root to make sure it works?

Have you already granted permission? (Go into SuperUser and check the list of apps.)

[rzach28]

I've try it. but it doesn't work. they say...ERROR - Please plug you device in flash mode

n i need mor tutorial...please.....

[BluechipJ]

@rzach28 Must be in FLASH MODE.

Sounds like you haven't installed Update Service AND PC Companion.

Follow the instructions. Or read the original threads.

[rzach28]

@BluechipJ : i have a problem again....!!

after i read & follow one by one...till "adb shell" n then, i get $...

after that write $ su

they tell me su : permission denied

so....what sould i do...please.....!!

[rzach28]

@BluechipJ woooooww,....... i get it..!! thanks bro..

i must install that app before i used... nice multi touch...!!

now i can play n search with double finger....!!

n all over against... thank you very much for that app...!!

see u bro....

[grox141994]

does it work on x10 mini?

[BluechipJ]

@grox141994 Nope. Mini Pro has drivers. Devs have stopped trying for the Mini.

[TheCyprianTV]

how install android 2.2 on x8?

pliz//

[tanzhonghui]

good job with the tutorial! my x10 now has dualtouch...however, why cant it detact yr finger properly when the 2 touches r on the same level, eg. the joysticks of a game etc

[BluechipJ]

@tanzhonghui Because it's not true dual touch, just a software hack. The points cannot cross.

[EasyGamer5880]

when i updated to 2.1.1 already have the multi-touch for the browser, maps and stuff... do i have to install the dual-touch file or skip it.. i just want to install the multi touch in more apps

[BluechipJ]

@EasyGamer5880 If the driver is already installed, simply do the XML edits in the 2nd (optional) part.

[albin998]

does this work with x8 to

[BluechipJ]

@albin998 No.. X8's drivers aren't done yet. Go to XDA to keep up with the progress.

[JAV619LAX]

Hey BluechipJ i have subscribed to your channel so please could you fix the links so i can download the files please it would be much appreciated keep up the great work!

Jav619Lax

[BluechipJ]

@JAV619LAX ... all the links work. ZIP, RAR, etc.

[JAV619LAX]

@BluechipJ well when i went onto the website it says "Download not available

The following download is not available: this file was not found on our server"

[BluechipJ]

@JAV619LAX ... THEN USE A DIFFERENT SITE! There are 5 of them!

[JAV619LAX]

@BluechipJ wow sorry i feel like a real dumb ass right now i didnt even scroll down to look at links my bad :L but thanks anyway

[JAV619LAX]

@BluechipJ sorry nvm only the zip doesnt work ill just download the rar and winrar thanks for your time

[BluechipJ]

@JAV619LAX The ZIP works for HotFile and MegaUpload. Just checked.

[TheDragonMix]

does it all work with the X8??

[BluechipJ]

@TheDragonMix No. Development of multitouch for the X8 is still continuing. Visit XDA's X8 forum.

[MonsteR0108]

[heartblabber]

[BluechipJ]

@heartblabber XDA Developers Thread #1064558

Google "x10 mini dual touch achieved"

[heartblabber]

@BluechipJ sir....i saw the thread.....it has many technical terms...i bought the cell just a few days ago and am a complete novice...don't even kno how to root the phone!!! and that thread is guiding me to "go to a shell" and all....i shall be highly obliged if you can guide me in a lucid language or, if possible, grant me a small video tutorial....sir, i m8 sound an idiot, but the truth is i am not very technical person but still wish to enjoy dual touch on my cell

[hamzazaib1]

@heartblabber

you just turn the phone off and hold the back button and then plug in your phone and the green light should come

[anibelka32]

Hello in Comand prompt when enter you the first command line tells me that it does not recognize this command

[anibelka32]

Hello you give me the link where I can download the Dualtouch folder, thanks

[BluechipJ]

@anibelka32 ... READ THE DESCRIPTION.

[bigbadbeast2007]

wont fucking work!

[BluechipJ]

@bigbadbeast2007 Then too fucking bad for you.

[bigbadbeast2007]

@BluechipJ fuck you

[bigbadbeast2007]

@BluechipJ dont be a fucking prick I am not blaming you!

[BluechipJ]

@bigbadbeast2007 I'm not being a prick. I'm just using your language. Swearing isn't the way to get help.

[bigbadbeast2007]

@BluechipJ oh! sorry just frustrated i apolagize

[TheADreASss1]

i tried to flash my xperia x10 mini but it didn't work.....i only performed the first part of the video but it didn't work.....how can i enable dual touch on my xperia x10 mini?

[BluechipJ]

@TheADreASss1 As far as I know, the drivers aren't available standalone for the Mini. You have to flash a firmware with the drivers embedded. Go to XDA Developers.

[TheADreASss1]

@BluechipJ when i flashed it i hadn't turned UAC off......maybe because of this it didn't work????

[leonardpcs08]

How do I run as administrator in windows xp?

please help

[BluechipJ]

@leonardpcs08 Your user account must be an administrator-level account. But it shouldn't affect it.

[leonardpcs08]

@BluechipJ Thanks, man. I owe you my life.

[PlvManos]

need help!!! i just followed the steps but at 8:06 , when i am writing 'su' it says "su : permision denied " how can i fix it???

[BluechipJ]

@PlvManos Check SuperUser. You either didn't allow your computer in SuperUser or you denied it. Remove the entry, su again and allow.

[WongFree]

I'm having trouble after i paste in adb shell. Instead of getting the dollar sign, I get a number sign. I have read past comments and tried the SHIFT + Right Click on emtpy space in the same folder of the unzipped files and clicking open prompt command here but still have same problem

[BluechipJ]

@WongFree You're not rooted.

[coconutman2008]

I like this TUT its damn good!!!

[Ezragokart1]

i need serious help it bricked my phone my xperia will not turn on at all it just gives me a green light

[BluechipJ]

@Ezragokart1 PC Companion. Repair. Or Flash Tool and flash.

[Matank050]

Why download an unofficial multi-touch update when there's an official one?

Also, what is that application you're using on the X10s to show that one of them has Multitouch and the second deosn't?

[BluechipJ]

@Matank050 Because this video is THREE months old. 3 months ago, the drivers were only available in Japan and people didn't want to wait for the update.

Just like how 2.1 came out in October 2010 and yet people on AT&T didn't get it until March... but could update using the tools...

[johngate7forever]

Thanks a lot BluechipJ !!! Great guide !!!

[VVAndres]

It works with the android 1.6 and 2.1???

[jomanimo24]

what is the rooting thing for?

[MrMADEINBORNEO]

How to enabled TWO xperia x10? i see you got two xperia x10 there.. lol

[moutombo]

On 6:37 how did you paste adb pull /system/build.prop ???

[Vwenozink]

Does it work on X10 mini? my X10 mini version is 2.1.1.. i flash for few times d.. i still doesn't work.. i just detect one touch in touch test

[oXxxGurenxxXo]

Thank You Sir :D

[joeyjordisonsteve]

oh at also, i dunno if its just me, but when im using dual douch in the game heavy gunner, or in the touch test, if i try and make one go left n the other right, they seem so stick together, if u know wht i mean, and not move tht independently, i can do a vid if it helps

[joeyjordisonsteve]

How do you get it to say rogers at the top right at 4:32?

[BluechipJ]

@joeyjordisonsteve It should automatically, once you enter in your Settings / Wireless & Networks / Mobile Networks / Access Point Names / [insert Rogers info]

[ipodapplepro]

Does it work on xperia x8 2.1

[BluechipJ]

@ipodapplepro Not that I know. The X8 only has firmware with multitouch. The drivers aren't available standalone.

[joeyjordisonsteve]

AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH, I WENT THROUGH BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS TRYING OTHER HACKS THEN THIS WORKED IN ONE GO! I FOLLOWED YOUR VIDEO, AND VOILAI!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[thorgodoofwar]

friend did the tutorial as you say but I'm wrong and my phone appears smaller screen and mark errors that ago?

[BluechipJ]

@thorgodoofwar Flash it again. Or use PC Companion to repair.

[SurroundedByGirls]

flash tool keeps telling me to turn on unknown sources and debugging. both are on, update tool and pc companion both installed. have X10_1.0_Bin4ry_Dualtouch.ftf loaded in the firmware folder in the flash tool. running 2.1.

[BluechipJ]

@SurroundedByGirls When you plug in your phone, PC Companion should detect it. If it isn't, something's wrong with your computer, USB port, USB cable or drivers. Flash tool needs to be run as Administrator with UAC off.

[SurroundedByGirls]

@BluechipJ yea, it detects it and UAC is off... I will try again tonight. Thanks.

[SurroundedByGirls]

@BluechipJ @BluechipJ PC Companion on and it sees the phone, Update Service says latest software installed, UAC disabled, Phone battery out, connect usb on the phone, then the desktop, install the battery with the back button held and I get this:

[BluechipJ]

@SurroundedByGirls Error flashing means the flash/driver files are missing/incorrect. There is no "loader.sin" for the dual-touch drivers, only kernel.sin & content.properties in the firmwares folder.

Download it again.

[SurroundedByGirls]

@BluechipJ despite the failed flash my phone has dual touch now. did nothing else to it other than the failed flash efforts. Odd. Thanks. Somehow it worked.

[R0llingStones]

something is wrong with your links for the multi touch

for both the ZIP and RAR files when it finishes downloading it gives an error and the downloaded files cannot be opened or extracted

[BluechipJ]

@R0llingStones Just tested it with Megaupload. It works. Your crappy virus scanner is detecting "rageagainstthecage", the root software and thinks it's a virus.

[Fox0Racing0]

When I paste the "adb shell" there is no dollar symbol, there is the route!

What have I done wrong?

[BluechipJ]

@Fox0Racing0 You're in the wrong folder.

Hold [shift], right-click in an empty spot in the folder, choose "Open command prompt here".

You have to be in the folder with the unzipped multitouch files.

[Fox0Racing0]

@BluechipJ thx dude your the best :)

[maybelove92]

@BluechipJ i've hold [shift] and right-click in an empty spot,but i can't choose "Open command prompt here"...

i use Windows XP

[BluechipJ]

@maybelove92 Google "Open Command Prompt Here" Windows XP PowerToy and install it.

[kryptonianprime]

Hey Man, thank you very much!!! I aready voted for you ;)

just wanted to let you know that the links for the dual are broken!!

good luck and thank you!!

[BluechipJ]

@kryptonianprime The Multiupload links? No, they still work. Maybe one or two of the sites are offline (e.g. Rapidshare), but the others still work.

[kryptonianprime]

Hey Man, thank you very much!!! I aready voted for you ;)

just wanted to let you know that the links for the dual are broken!!

good luch and thank you!!

[angel122485]

can i do this if i have an android 2.3 rom installed in my phone?

[ihsanfauzi]

Does it works on X10 mini?

[BluechipJ]

@ihsanfauzi Didn't see it in the X10 Mini forum. However, there are apparently firmwares with the driver included. Go visit XDA.

[ihsanfauzi]

@BluechipJ so you mean, it cant be done on X10 mini?

[BluechipJ]

@ihsanfauzi I'm not a developer. From the X10 Mini forum, there is no standalone driver for multitouch. Therefore, I assume that the X10 driver won't work. You're welcome to backup your phone and try it.

[ihsanfauzi]

@BluechipJ owh... btw, thank you for your respond to my comment.

[nobbychang]

it says ERROR - Please install or reinstall device drivers in driver folder. what does it mean :/?

[BluechipJ]

@nobbychang Error where? Means you don't have the latest PC Companion.

[tayyab96]

You are a rockstar man !

[kawish33]

will it work with 2.2?

[BluechipJ]

@kawish33 Most 2.2 firmwares recommend installing it on 2.1 before updating if they don't already include it. I haven't tried it directly on 2.2.

[kawish33]

@BluechipJ should i try it? would it brick my phone?
