Hey there - here's a quick video to show what's possible with your non-capactive m96, Tasker, and root access. Basically, I wanted a set-up where I could open Kindle books and Google Play books without using the stylus.
So I used Tasker (an automation software) to program screen touches after I launch those programs. You could set it up to do anything you want without the use of a stylus, but that's what I used it for.
Check out the video here:
