If you have the Sonim XP3 you may have noticed that none of the mouse apps so far work for the xp3, I've been working with Virresh, and he came out with a version that works pretty well with the xp3, it still needs some work, but I figured I'll give what we have so far. Activating it is pretty straightforward, just click setup permissions, enable screen overlay permission, then press back and enable accessibility permission. Then change the default activation key, you'll need to know the key code of the key you want to set, 17 is the star key, 18 is the pound key, and the speaker key is 285 [I cant list all keys, but these are prob ones you would use]. Press and hold the activation key to turn on/off, and when on press once to turn on/off scroll mode. Heres the link [expires in 7 days] https://we.tl/t-p0md9pp4nS

Virresh is from the chasidei umos haolam!

Techgen Thx a ton!! Lemme try it out to see if it works!

Techgen Doesn't expire [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s30DUSld5ah4sG0CYUqlB3t7rEPDTPzT/view?usp=sharing ]

chaimontherun Thanks for that! Virresh has released a new version with some updates, including scrolling speed, I found that the scrolling acts weird when its on really slow, it works good when its a little faster than half by me, you can test what works for you. This should work on ther phones as well. Here's the link, APK file is on bottom by assets. https://github.com/virresh/matvt/releases/tag/phone-v1.03

Techgen Here's the direct link: [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pozoHnpWzD_EXGWJJJSS9hnKCmtj-irw/view?usp=sharing ]

I'm having issues with the scrolling speed. I have the latest version of the mouse even though I set the scrolling speed to the slowest it still goes really fast sometimes. Anyone else have that issue? Cc @Techgen

chaimontherun It might depend on your dpi, mine is set to 125, and by me i keep the scroll speed about 1/3 of the way to slow and it works fine. Also scroll speed increases the longer its held down

chaimontherun DPI = dots per inch

Mouse for SONIM XP3

Techgen

Falconer Oh, so that's prob the issue {like I suspected it's different than the xp3.} EDIT: My mistake, after verifying, the keycode on the xp3 is also 66, in which case I'm not sure what the issue is - see my later post.
Tag [Login to see the link] to let him know, or contact him through his github page to see if he has a chance to add it in the next version.

Techgen what is the key code for the xp3? I have virresh's source code open in Android studio but I don't know anything about Java. I was hoping I could simply find the references to the other key code and change them to 66.

[Login to see the link] Hi can you update the mouse App for the Sonim XP3 PLUS please it is no longer working.

tzvikaplan1

I put the apk on my xp3 but it won't install. what should I do?

Jumptoheaven

tzvikaplan1 I believe it must be installed via adb.

[Login to see the link] Was anyone able to get the mouse working on the xp3plus?

darren051

anonymousflipphone I doubt it I've contacted [Login to see the link] twice within the last several months but have not received a response in several months I assume the project is abandoned unfortunately.

drfreemlizard

[Login to see the link] If anyone else is using the Sonim xp5s, it's select key is also 66 according to the event viewer app. Or I presume that is what:

KeyUP
action=1
code=66
repeat=0

means. So if virresh creates a version that functions on the xp3 plus, it should also function on the xp5s.

drfreemlizard

I wonder, is there a possibility of creating a select button override option, just as there is an activation button override? Then people could use the key event app and adjust the mouse for their phone if the select button code has changed. But I'm talking about things far above my head.

drfreemlizard

If anyone is knowledgeable enough about code to make a version with the "click" key code set as 66, [Login to see the link] does have the source code for the phone version 1.0.3 available at [Login to see the link]

Techgen

drfreemlizard
I just rechecked, and the keycode is 66 on the xp3 [sorry about the post where I said the xp3 is different, I hadnt checked it in a while, and 66 just didnt sound familiar]. So I'm not sure whats the issue people seem to be having. It could be they just didnt set it up right like you suggest in this post:

OK, after reading some in the forums, I got the matvt 1.0.3 app working on my Sonim xp5s. If the select key is the same on the xp3plus, I think it might work. I do not have an xp3plus, so if any of you do, could you follow the steps I list and confirm whether this works or not? I first uninstalled the apps4flip mouse.

Then, I installed [Login to see the link] using adb.

Next I ran the following adb commands:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.voicecommand
adb shell appops set com.android.cts.io.github.virresh.matvt SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW allow
adb shell settings put secure accessibility_enabled 1
adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services com.android.cts.io.github.virresh.matvt/com.android.cts.io.github.virresh.matvt.services.MouseEventService
adb shell am startservice com.android.cts.io.github.virresh.matvt/com.android.cts.io.github.virresh.matvt.services.MouseEventService

I got the standard "Error: Requires permission not exported from uid 10104" message from the last command, and ignored it.

I restarted my phone.

I opened the matvt app in my applications list.

I selected Override Activation Key

In the box underneath that, I typed 18 (for the # key), then selected SAVE.

Now, when I long press (for about 1 second) the # key, a mouse appears on my screen. It moves with the D-Pad, and the center D-Pad button does select things.

drfreemlizard Try but no work

drfreemlizard

Techgen It could be they just didnt set it up right

I figured that might be the case. That’s why I wrote the step-by-step, so they have a link to the modified apk, along with the modified adb commands. It’s nothing original with me, but a compilation of information I got from a few different threads on the board.

Just another tidbit: Someone (I forget who) mentioned above that their home screen shortcuts didn’t work anymore. The home screen shortcuts on my Sonim xp5s do still work, but I have to double tap the buttons.

anonymousflipphone

[Login to see the link] I have the xp3plus, tried the same steps you laid out, and got the same result. Can now see a cursor moving around the screen, but it won't click anything.

drfreemlizard

Hmmm... I wasn't able to find anything in the source code referring to a specific key code, anyhow. I wonder if any of the Android services or imported bits the code calls on had their names changed in Android 11. If the code is importing a module whose name is changed or whose function is served by something else now, that would certainly booger up the app

I may have found the problem with the mouse, though I have no real idea. When I clicked on "MATVT-Mouse for Android is displaying over other apps" in My Notifications, (on the xp3plus), a screen pops up "Display over other apps", under that it says "Feature not available" "This feature has been turned off because it slows down your phone". When I had clicked the same thing on the xp3, it leads me to a screen that lets me toggle with the mouse's ability to "display over other apps".
Another piece of possible relevant information. On the xp3, went to the downloaded app "Hidden Settings". Scrolled all the way down where there are two settings that start with "Display over..." Clicked the first one, led me to a screen where I can select one of many apps, and toggle the ability to "display over..." Clicked the second one, led me to a screen where I can theoretically toggle the ability for the Hidden settings app to display over other apps. I say theoretically because it doesn't actually let me toggle for some reason...irrelevant...Now on the Xp3Plus, when I click on the first setting thats labeled "Display over..." it leads me to the screen I described above, "This feature has been turned off..." And when I click the second one, a long message pops up on the screen. I'll just write the end of the message which I think is relevant. "requires android.permission.INTERNAL_SYSTEM_WINDOW
Do you guys think any of this is the reason the mouse won't click?

drfreemlizard

anonymousflipphone Interesting. I'm considering getting an xp3plus, so maybe I'll be better able to delve into this. Now, am I understanding correctly: The "android.permission.INTERNAL.SYSTEM.WINDOW" message pops up when you tried to allow the hidden settings window display over other apps?

Another question. It references "this feature has been turned off because it slows down your phone." Does the xp3plus have any system optimizing features in the settings menu? Like battery optimization, or speed/memory optimization? If so, try turning anything that resembles that sort of thing off, then retry allowing the mouse to display over other apps. Although, if I understood your earlier post, it is already drawing over other apps (i.e. you can see the mouse cursor) but you just can't select anything.

Thanks, by the way, for letting me know about this!

anonymousflipphone

[Login to see the link] -"Now, am I understanding correctly: The "android.permission.INTERNAL.SYSTEM.WINDOW" message pops up when you tried to allow the hidden settings window display over other apps?"-Yes. It was the end of a very long message, but I think this is the most relevant part.
-"Although, if I understood your earlier post, it is already drawing over other apps (i.e. you can see the mouse cursor) but you just can't select anything."-I know, I was thinking the same thing.

anonymousflipphone

UPDATE: Sonim provided a software update, after updating I now can see an option to toggle the "display over..." when clicking on the mouse app in the notifications, just like on the xp3, but the mouse app still wont click.
