Although the app does increase sensitivity it did not fix what i needed it to do. I had dead spots on my screen, mostly on the left and right sides that didn't respond to touch.
If anyone has this problem it can be fixed by going back to the stock rom, once there the stock recovery has an option to calibrate the screen (the screen calibration app that was suggested in another thread did not work for my situation). Now my screen is back to how it was when it came out of the box.
the app i mentioned at the beginning is great if you have a screen protector and want to make the screen more sensitive but does not work for dead spots.
