Partial Screen

Partial Screen Partial Screen is a Tools app that stops accidental touches using auto ghost-touch detection or custom blocked regions. Toggle zones, adjust size and color, and enjoy a smoother Android experience.

Partial Screen

Do random taps and swipes keep happening on your device? Partial Screen is designed to reduce accidental touches by blocking only the parts of the screen that are causing trouble.

The app provides two anti-mistouch modes. You can choose specific screen areas to ignore for a set amount of time, remove those areas whenever you want, and customize details like size and color. Alternatively, the app can detect accidental touches automatically and suggest the areas that need protection—so you can match the tool to your needs.

Partial Screen is regularly updated, with more screen-management features added over time to keep your experience smoother and more comfortable.

Key Features of Partial Screen

Automatic detection of ghost touches

Partial Screen can scan your display to find regions where unwanted input repeatedly occurs. During the scan, it briefly intercepts touches to improve detection quality, then it groups areas showing repeated “self-touch” behavior.

Important: avoid touching the screen while the scan is running to keep the results accurate. Once the process finishes, the app will be ready to block taps, swipes, and long presses inside the detected zones.

Manual region creation

If you want more precise control, you can create your own blocked areas of any size and position. This is especially useful if a crack, stuck spot, or specific hardware issue triggers ghost touches.

• Place a region over the problem area.
• Resize and move the boundaries so it covers the faulty spot only.



• After saving, the manual zone will silently ignore any input inside its borders.

Area manager and customization controls

The area manager lets you turn individual zones on or off, and change their color, size, and placement.

You’ll also see separate toggles for zones created by:

• the automatic scan
• your manual setup

For a cleaner look, Partial Screen includes an optional rounded-corner overlay. You can choose the overlay color and adjust the radius, giving the blocked interface a more polished edge.

Bubble mode screen lock

A floating bubble indicator appears on top of the screen for quick access. When you need it, you can double-tap the bubble to temporarily lock the entire screen.

This is useful when ghost touches suddenly increase or when you want to prevent any interaction for a short time. After the moment passes, unlock and continue using your phone normally.

Additional Highlights

Partial Screen also includes a touch detector function to help identify where spontaneous touches are happening. This can be especially helpful if you’re not sure which areas on your device are causing the issue.

With the detector’s insights, you can make better decisions about where to apply touch-blocking measures.

Rounded corners option

If you prefer a smoother, rounded look, the app lets you add rounded corners to the touch-blocking overlay. You can customize color and radius to match your style while still keeping the function intact.

Performance and usability

• Auto-start service: Partial Screen is set up to automatically start its service when the device powers on, so you don’t have to launch it every time.
• Transparency control: you can adjust how transparent the blocked areas are, so you can still see the underlying screen content.
• More zones supported: the app supports up to 50% more areas than standard options, allowing you to define multiple blocked regions when the issue is spread across the display.

Device permission note

Xiaomi phones: you may need to manually grant the “Draw over other apps” permission. This step is important so the app isn’t stopped by system behavior and can work as intended.

Other brands may require similar precautions to prevent unexpected shutdowns—for example on Samsung, Oppo, and Huawei devices.

Summary

You can manage touch-disabled zones easily—turn them on or off, change how they look, adjust their size and position, and remove any areas you no longer need. The app also supports aesthetic customization with rounded corners (adjustable color and radius).

Finally, bubble mode adds a quick way to lock the entire screen using a double-tap on the floating indicator. The bubble stays visible above the interface and can be moved for convenience.
