Hello!
I'm running Cm 10.1 and my question is if there is a way to either make the mouse pointer that you see when you use the Stylus pen smaller or make it invisible?
The mouse pointer takes up to much space and hides the text or image when you want to draw.
Any help would be very appreciated!
It appears that S pen is functioning like a mouse in android - for example in dosbox hovering will move mouse around and tapping will click it. And as far as I saw (screenshots only, so excuse me if I'm wrong) CM will also recognize S pen as mouse pointer.
However, there is a small problem: there is no right click. And since I don't use gestures really: Is there a way to remap button on S-pen to function as right click?

I'm looking for the same thing and I've tried many apps with no results, but these apps might point you to the right direction:
CM S Pen Add-on Can detect the S Pen button actions.
Xposed Addition Can remap hardware buttons.
So the thing to get the S Pen button actions be recognized as buttons. Then it would be easy to remap it with Xposed Additions.
Good luck!
I have recently installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 through the CM Installer and the look and feel loving stock android a lot. I understand that the framework for touchwiz is not present which causes CM to not be able to have any of the s-pen functionality. However, is having the cursor that shows where the s-pen is currently hovering above part of those "features" that require the Touchwiz framework? Afterall, the functionality of it working as a mouse over still works in browsers, only the cursor is missing. Are there any way to perhaps use the wacom tablet's sensors as a mouse input which will display the "mouse" cursor on wherever the s-pen is pointing at?

yes u can get that its somewhere in settings ill tell u when i myself find it again
somewhere in display or accesibility or input etc
I found this app, it should allow you to do so.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.spencontrol&hl=en
Also most of the ROMs, have this feauture built-in.
I don't think GMD shows the pointer where your spen is hovering above at, does it? At least the description doesn't seem to say so, can anyone actually confirm before actually plonking 6 bucks into the app?

Thanks a lot! I actually found it! Didn't scroll far down in the Language & Input sections.. However this begs the next question, can the mouse pointer icon actually be changed?
Hi, at my AFTV at least, the mouse curser (when plugging a mouse or a mousepad) is a huge ugly hollow circle.
Really hard to press on small things when browsing etc..
Is there any way to change the image? or the size at least..
I have found a way that requires opening framework-res and replacing the mouse pointer image, but the image there is normal and not at all alike to the huge ugly circle..
I'm sure more folks will want to know this as well
Thanks!:victory:
A few months has passed, maybe a solution has been found by anyone...?
If you wanna change you mouse cursor, use Wukong Remote. It changes the cursor form the ring to a small white pointer. Just install it on your phone/tablet and also on the Fire TV. Very simple. I don't like using my devices as a mouse so I'll just stick to using a hardware mouse, but I have used Wukong a few times.
BTW, if you would update to the latest firmware the cursor in about half the size it used to be and the color of it is now blue.

I'm using a hardware mouse and I don't wish to use my phone as a mouse, will the Wukong Remote still change the icon even when using a hardware mouse?
I'm using 51.1.5.0_515030720 (Pre-Rooted), isn't it the last one? It's still huge and orange here...

I am not rooted and my cursor is a smaller blue ring since the last two updates. Also, since the last two updates my cursor no longer shows up on the default launcher or when system menus are on sceen. No Wukong will only use its cursor for the Wukong app, as soon as you move your mouse it will be a ring again. Not sure why your cursor is still the orange one and why mine is different. Others have told me their cursor is blue as well.
I found this dev guide on how to change the circle to a pointer. Not sure on how to use this info, but here is the link for those peps willing to try. We need a coder like Rbox to figure this out. Please Rbox the ftv king or any dev can help?

The AndroidManifest.xml would be in an app file,but which app,and how do we approach it without having to extract it,edit it,and,put it back in?
Is there a way to edit it with a script command,or root app?
Or can we just copy the apk,get the manifest changed,and overwrite the original?
Still need to know where it is located first.
Yes it was updated to a smaller blue circle. You can no longer click system dialogues.....
I installed Lineage 14.1 Rom on Sm-t900 (tab pro 12.2) . I use bluetooth keyboard and mouse but the mouse pointer is fixed as a small circle which is not visible with darker back screens . In settings> accessibility there is an option to make the mouse pointer bigger and then it DOES like like a black mouse pointer arrow but it is now freakishly big.
Can someone advise me on a solution ?
thanks in advance
