Pen and split screen does not work

Open 18aKissD opened this issue 10 months ago • 8 comments

I have a pad 5, and bought the xiaoxin pen for it as some suggested it works. Well, it doesn't. It pairs with the tablet with Bluetooth but does not do anything on the tablet.

Split screen also does not work.

Hyperos 1.0.6 Lsposed 1.9.2 Zygisk Magisk 28.1

Update: The button on the pen wakes the screen on double tap. Does nothing else though, does not write, button does not work when unlocked. Only wakes the screen. (I don't know if it means something, just for info)

The vertical split function is poorly coded and will no longer be maintained and supported. As for the pen issue, try other driver versions.

I tried all of them and it does not work. The pen is this one. Should this work? Maybe the problem is with my pen.

Also, since there is nothing I could find in the logs, should I do anything when changing the pen version. Looks like it is not doing anything, so I am not sure if I have to reboot, or reactivate the module.

Edit: I have tried it in various ways, but it does not work sadly. What does the various driver options mean? I mean 1 2 and 3 doesn't really tell anything. May I know what is the logic behind the numbers?

I can confirm that the pen was the issue. The Lenovo Precision Pen 2 works good, but the buttons are not working on it. Would it work on another roms?

Also, can you please include that the precision pen 2 is working with the tablet? I mean it would be more informative and people won't buy pens that does not work with the tablet even if your patch is installed.

Anyway, thanks for the module!

Would it work on another roms?

This is not a ROM issue but a hardware compatibility issue. Or if your question is whether the buttons would work on other ROMs, I’m not sure. Xiaomi’s official pen has a unique implementation—it functions as a true page-turning pen, with its buttons mapped to "Page Up" and "Page Down", which is different from Lenovo’s. Older versions of Android also do not support remapping the buttons through key mapping files.

Also, can you please include that the precision pen 2 is working with the tablet? I mean it would be more informative and people won't buy pens that does not work with the tablet even if your patch is installed.

Thank you for providing information about compatible pens. However, I don't maintain a compatibility list because I'm not an expert in this area. Instead, whenever someone asks me, I recommend seeking help from the community.

Is there any way to see and catch the button and maybe remap it by some tool to ex. the eraser?
