Stops phantom touches on your screen — without you feeling a thing.
Sometimes an Android touchscreen reports touches that never actually happened: several fingers appearing out of nowhere, or one spot that gets stuck and won't let go, usually needing a reboot to clear. TouchGuard catches these the instant they happen and quietly discards them before your apps ever see them. Everything you actually do with your own fingers — tapping, swiping, holding, multi-finger gestures — passes through exactly as normal, completely untouched.
No background service draining your battery, no accessibility permission watching what you do. It works at the lowest level Android has for touch input, filtering right there before anything else even gets a chance to see the fake touches.
- Blocks touch bursts above a limit you choose (1-5 fingers)
- Auto-hides a single contact that's been stuck far longer than any real touch would be -- no reboot needed
- Live status, finger-count control, and logs, all from a clean in-app control panel -- no terminal needed for day-to-day use
- Five themes: Liquid Glass, Material Expressive, Dark, Light, or follow your system setting
- No noticeable delay added to normal touches
- A rooted Android device (arm64) with Magisk or a KernelSU-family manager (KernelSU, SukiSU, etc.)
- That's it -- no Termux, no compiler, nothing else to install first
- Download the latest
TouchGuard-vX.X.zipfrom Releases - Flash it from your root manager's Modules tab, same as any other module
- Reboot
- Open TouchGuard from your manager's module list -- that opens the built-in control panel
Open the control panel and pick the highest number of fingers you'd ever use at once -- most people pick 1 or 2. Make sure it shows the filter running. That's the whole job: no daily maintenance, and changing your mind later is one tap, no reboot.
If module doesnt works after reboot then go to termux and excute this command by granting root permission
su -c sh /data/adb/modules/touchguard/build.sh
and reboot and and check
Full log is at /data/adb/modules/touchguard/touchguard.log if you ever
need it outside the control panel's own Logs tab.
Instantly, no reboot:
su -c "touch /data/local/tmp/touchguard_disable"
Or just hit Stop in the control panel.
To stop it from starting at boot entirely:
su -c "rm /data/adb/modules/touchguard/enabled"
Reboot and hold Volume Down at the boot logo for Magisk Safe Mode -- that disables every module, including this one, no touch input needed.
TouchGuard's grab on the real screen and the virtual one it creates both live on its own running process. If it crashes or the phone reboots, the kernel automatically closes both, and normal touch comes back on its own -- there's no state it can leave your touchscreen in that survives a reboot.
It opens the real touchscreen's input device and takes exclusive control
of it (EVIOCGRAB) -- the same low-level mechanism that stops Android's
own input system from reading it directly. In its place, it creates a
second, virtual touchscreen device and relays every real touch through
to it -- except frames with more fingers than your chosen limit, which
get dropped, with a clean synthetic "fingers up" sent instead so Android
treats it as a normal release rather than a stuck touch.
