hi guys as we know that xperia sp has features of hovering but there was no app in which we can use the features specially the web browser but now I can say that dolphin web browser is working very fine with hovering features so guys you can download the dolphin browser from the play store and check it out that really works.
it is same as floating touch in xperia sola

Yeah, it's quite difficult on chrome. But dolphin has other negative aspects, so I still prefer chrome

The problem with our "hovering controls" is that you have to place your finger very VERY close to the screen. It is cool but I don't find any real use for it (except for showing off to iPhone users)

For some "cleverly" designed websites that offer only hover-style menus it is crucial

Does anyone have a flashable package that increases the sensitivity of the touchscreen?
Or would anyone be able to give me a quick rundown on how to adjust it?
I know there were a few values floating around a while back.
Thx in advance.
There is an app in the market, something like galaxy $ screen tuner, tho I can't remember its exact name

Thanks. Downloaded and am using it now. Dunno do I see much difference though. Using "optimized" and super optimized .
Anyone recommend settings with this app. ??
My main gripe with the screen is its not sensitive enough when texting fast.

I've been using gingerbread keyboard and smart keyboard pro and both react the same to my texting. I don't use swype.
I use since day one I got the SGS in june and can't operate the phone without. Superfine is good for me, but you can fiddle a bit to find settings that suit you. Too bad that pernament fix ain't possible yet.

The Launcher should be the same. the difference is the pro has a hardware keyboard that when slid out acts as the trigger to flip landscape. The launcher has the functionality to show landscape, we've seen it with HDMI or on models with hardware keyboard and I've heard reports of people with livedock working (for me doing OTG keyboard/mouse it stays portrait).
I had just hoped he managed to hack it or something, but I'm skeptical until we get at least some proof of concept, even if it's buggy.
Show us a youtube video of phone going landscape without hdmi or post a buggy hack.

I found this thread whilst looking if anyone had hacked the stock Xperia ray launcher to support landscape mode and thought I'd report this
All you need is an app to force landscape, and the SE launcher will happily switch orientation. There are two on the market that both seem to work fine:
Orientation Control (Paid)
Ultimate Rotation Control (Free 7 day trial, then paid)
Not sure if there are any free apps that do the same, but I was happy to pay for the first one as it does the job.

Touch pad as a mouse would be great on the browser imo.
Left stick for pointer and right stick for scrollilng, and obviously the face buttons for standard fuctions like X to select (left click), O as right click, square for stop/refresh page and triangle for back.
It would make selecting links so easy, and browsing far more enjoyable.

That would be nice, but I would prefer using the L and R buttons for selecting/right clicking.
The touchpad is a dual touch surface, so I would use dual swiping to scroll up and down, and single swiping to move the cursor around. The triggers can be used to go back and forward, the X button for selections, and the other 3 could be assigned to different functions (Bookmarks, Refresh, and Share).

This is potentially great for the Onlive app. Once Onlive supports mouse input on their mobile app, this could be a game changer.

ScummVM.
Try playing anything in ScummVM with the touchscreen, particularly pixel hunting puzzles. It's a nightmare. The whole time playing I think "I wish the touchpads could work as a mouse." This is a great development.

It is. Very useful in the browser, too.
For me I don't like the pointer option(in papyrus app for exemple) , to remove it :
\system\usr\idc\sec_e-pen.idc
Enable touch.deviceType = pointer
Disable touch.deviceType = touchScreen
Reboot after change

This effect is somewhat similar to Xperia Sola the floating touch thing. Developers should take this effect even forward and try make scrolling possible while hovering over the screen with the stylus button pressed it'll be awesome
