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.....

Just wondering if anyone has tried the Xoom BT keyboard on any of the AOSP ROMs? Specifically, do all or any of the Android shortcut keys work? Or would I be better off spending less money on a generic Windows BT Keyboard?
Here is the KB I am referring to...
http://www.walmart.com/ip/MOTOROLA-89451N/15779800
I guess I'll answer my own question, more to provide information for others. I went to Fry's today and picked up one of these keyboards and was very happy to see it working with Decks Gingerbread ROM. There are some hotkeys not working right, but for the most part this this is awesome. A co-worker went with me and bought one for his Xoom and it works great on that as well! Here is a list of things that aren't working (so far).
- Menu button does not bring up the menu (but fn + F1 does).
- Things get weird in landscape mode:
-- Left/Right arrows perform Up/Down operation and Up/Down arrows perform Left/Right operations.
- Hot key for launching Google Music App (when it's set as default) fc's every time (but app does launch manually).
- When in the browser, you have to use the Search button to type in a URL (there is no way to navigate or arrow to the URL entry box).
- Seems to work much better in portrait mode.
- Have to use arrows to navigate from text box to text box, the tab key does not tab like it does in Windows.
I would love to see an app that would allow you to remap the keys, but haven't found anything in the market for this. If you know of something that would help in this regard, please post a reply.
I previously connected a Dell BT Mouse and got that working perfectly, so I can't wait to get home and use the mouse and the KB together. I am also going to try out the HDMI mirroring and see how well this will preform as a stand alone console. If any one is interested in the outcome, reply to this thread. Otherwise I'll just let it die off slowly...
I've been really annoyed by the fact that one needs to swipe to switch pages in Overdrive, and I think the Kindle app also had the same issue. So I modified my mod of the Gingerbread keyboard to do paging in Overdrive and Kindle by pressing volume up/down, in the way that works in all decent ebook readers.
If you want other apps to have this, let me know and I'll add them.
Eventually, I might add customization as to which apps get this.

Alas, this won't work if you have some other favorite input method.
To use this, you need to enable the Gingerbread Keyboard in the device's Input Settings, and then you need to select the Gingerbread Keyboard as your input method, by long-tapping on an input field in some app.
Hope I can make this clearer... every VNC app I've tried handles the touch screen in a very awkward way - I must tap and drag my finger to make the mouse cursor on my windows PC move.
On my old WM phone, I could simply tap any area of my desktop, and the mouse cursor teleports directly to that tapped area (and simultaneously executes a single click). So if I want to close a window, I simply tap the "X" at the top right.
The apps I've found for KF don't do this. Instead I must carefully, slowly drag the mouse arrow to the X, release, then tap again to close the window. Every little task takes forever this way.
Does anyone know of a remote-control app that supports just tapping the screen (as if my home PC windows 7 were being operated on a touchscreen tablet)?
If anyone else is looking for something like this... a quick update.
What I'm looking for I guess is just referred to as "direct input".
The app "AndroidVNC" has this, and so is much easier to use than the others. It supports all the usual stuff though scaling the window to smaller than 1:1 is a little clunky. It uses double tap to access right click, which makes actual double clicking a mystery, but I find I can get most tasks done anyway.
I had emailed RealVNC... I've always liked them because they have an awesome feature for PC versions: you can ctrl+C to copy something (on either computer) and then ctrl+V on the other PC. This "copy-and-pastes" to transfer files over the internet, or to just copy/paste plain text from one PC to the other.
They wrote back and said others had asked for direct input and it's on their list of things to do. But no idea if and when it will be implemented.
Splashtop Remote should do all that you want. It definitely does the direct input (cursor moves directly to the touched area) and simply holding your finger down for a split second longer is like a right-click.

Agreed, I like splashtop. Got it free a while back on the amazon app of the day, and like it much better than logmein.

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?
