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!

So in GB I used a mouse a couple times and there was a standard mouse pointer. In ICS the mouse works fine, but the on screen pointer is missing. Does anyone know how to fix it? I am thinking there is a png somewhere for it but it is missing.
Found the pointer icon and it is there and in tact, but is not showing up on the screen.
Can a dev look into this?
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?
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
I want to use both my finger and my S-Pen at the same time to touch the screen with for games and emulators. Main example being Drastic, a DS emulator, so I can use the on-screen D-Pad at the same time as using the emulated touchscreen with the S-Pen. This way I can still see what is happening on the bottom screen without my index finger in the way.
How do I do this? Is there a hidden setting that can be changed with ADB? Or is this something that I would need root for?
