We had previously released our TWRP auto porting tool @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/forum-39.html . Some were fortunate to get fully functionally TWRP with touch working while some got TWRP but with disabled touch or touch not working. If you are one of those having TWRP touch issue, below are some alternatives you could consider pending when or if a fix for this issue is ever found
What to do when TWRP touch is disabled or not working
For MTK devices @SachinBorkar has posted a guide on how to patch kernel @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-27132.html ; you can try the method and see if it works for you or not. If not or too difficult then the alternatives below will come handy
List of successfully patched kernels with TWRP touch working
- Karbonn Titanium Vista 4G @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-27138.html
- Gionee M5 mini @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-27200.html
- Tecno Camon CX Air @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-27243.html
For Unisoc devices, see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32743.html
Alternative 1 - Use OTG-Mouse in TWRP
- Boot to TWRP recovery
- Connect the OTG-cable to the phone then connect the mouse
- A little mouse icon should appear in TWRP, you can move the mouse around and select items by left clicking
Alternative 2 - Boot TWRP recovery.img using Fastboot
This is a good option if your phone supports booting recovery image. Only way to find out if your phone supports booting recovery.img will be to test. Follow the procedure below
- Run the command below in fastboot window
Code:fastboot boot recovery.img
Alternative 3 - Use a non-touch custom recovery
- If for any reason OTG-Mouse doesn't work for you, then you could consider using a non-touch custom recovery such as Philz or CWM. MTK device owners can port Philz using our tool at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21495.html, SPD device owners can attempt to manually port any of the 3 recoveries @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-265...#pid162255
Alternative 4 - Flash recovery.img into boot partition
This option is for those who either don't have OTG-Mouse or are unable to get a working non-touch custom recovery. You must have a copy of your boot.img readily available
- Flash recovery.img into boot partition on your phone then power on your phone. The phone should boot directly into TWRP with touch fully functional
- When you're done using TWRP and wish to reboot back to homescreen, you'll need to flash boot.img [either stock boot.img OR patched_boot.img] before rebooting
- If you have boot.img stored on the internal storage or SDcard of your phone, you can flash boot.img using TWRP
- Install >
- Install Image >
- Navigate to the location of the boot.img and select it >
- Select Boot partition >
- Swipe the arrow to confirm flash >
- Reboot system
- Install >
