Hopefully IF it is only a different touch matrix arrangement ,then in the meantime,on a sheet of graph paper make a map of the Alita screen.(the mars screen consists of 1782×1448 pixel resolution (300 ppi)and the Alita screen consists of 1782×1448) and plot the your touch position and the screen reaction position.and use map to navigate the reader.

This is a really smart idea, I do actually have a dump of some img files made with rkDumper that
ottischwenk kindly donated to me, I'm having trouble flashing the images to my device however. I tried using AndroidTool and it only seems to download my images from my device, not upload his images to my device. In the PDF guide
rvcjew links, they mention "RK_Android_Tool_2.3.9_bernado_mod", it sounds like this is a modded version of AndroidTool 2.3.9 that allows the user to restore a backup? I could be wrong though.

Can you use the screen at all, like to get into the file manger app, if so maybe they can get you an apk that will install the touch firmware. I guess you just have to wait at this point and see what the devs think. What a bummer.

I certainly can use the screen, it's just that wherever I tap is mapped to another part of the screen, it's consistent where if I tap a certain area of the screen it will always tap in the same different spot (e.g tapping the left side of the screen in a certain spot will always open up the little dropdown up the top right of the screen consistently). I got a dump of the Alita image files from a member called
ottischwenk, I'm just having trouble flashing the dump to my device now.
