Touch screen joysticks are difficult to control. Without physical buttons it make aiming feel unnatural for most fps's(Cept for doom like games where you only look left and right). My suggestion is too add a secondary button config to simulate mouse movements. Like that of a thumb pad(I think thats what you call it) on a laptop.
Instead of a "when the player pushes here; view moves up\down\left\right"
Make it "As the player moves his\her thumb inside of the aiming box; the view tracks the movement. When they stop moving; the view stops as well"
Again think of how you use a mouse. You don't have to bring your mouse back to the central position(or take your hand off it) to to stop your pointer from moving. It tracks your movements, thus giving a more natural feel to the control. I think if someone could come up with a base script to use this idea for fps's on touch devices, then fps's would be easier to play.
