So browsing on xda and came across this post and thought quite a few would be interested.

Their are already 2 or 3 custom ROMs out that support multitouch so will be trying one out tonight and let you know how it goes.

Has anyone else got multitouch working on their u8150?

also has anyone upgraded to 2.2.1 - is it worth the hassle?

before upgrading multi-touch works if you have synaptic touch screen, it wont work if you have a melfas one. download android terminal emulator, type

$getevent

it will tell you what type of screen you have. I have 2degrees ideos u8150 and it has synaptic brand of screen

Yep - works fine here too.

Here's is a Wiki for how to flash your u8150:

And here's a link to the FusionIDEOS 1.97 v2 firmware which has multitouch (and a very good CPU underclock to save battery):

Very good firmware mod, IMHO.
