Kernel in stock recovery disables touch sensor in recovery boot.

theintel commented 2 years ago

Searching for the text "tpd_i2c" in stock recovery kernel log file /cache/recovery/last_kmsg unveiled that the touch driver was indeed removed during initiation:

``<4>[ 1.098785] -(2)[53:kworker/u8:1][] (gt1x_deinit) from [] (tpd_i2c_remove+0x10/0x28)

<4>[ 1.098796] -(2)[53:kworker/u8:1] r5:cf72d200 r4:c14a81cc <4>[ 1.098806] -(2)[53:kworker/u8:1][] (tpd_i2c_remove) from [] (i2c_device_remove+0x64/0x9c) <4>[ 1.098816] -(2)[53:kworker/u8:1][] (i2c_device_remove) from []``
