Jumptoheaven the way browser turns on the mouse is by running command nec found. So when we run that command it has the same effect. But when you run a bluetooth mouse, there is something different happening, proof is that you cant use dpad to control it.

Or maybe the dpad is limited where it can move the mouse and a real mouse isn't.

Either way, its a good question, i don't have a full answer.

      Biden2020prez Genymotion's [Login to see the link] also has no limitations but that in itself doesn't obviously resolve your question of whether the difference is due to different implementations or whether it's due to a hardware limitation on dpad - would make a good shayla if it were Torah...

          dovwcom that Is another league because it doesn't show a cursor on the rhone

              Biden2020prez on the phone itself not but there is a cursor on the screen copy of the phone and it works everywhere on the screen

                  dovwcom Yes, but it uses adb to tap. Has no connection to the Built in cursor.

                    I am so dumb...
                    For macro droid Actions there is a device settings > system settings option. From there choose keyboard pointer enable in the dropdown, and it works without root! Yay!!

                      Biden2020prez one thing is i needed to make my screen very small to press the right button. So ill try to make a macro droid apk with a smaller res.

                          Biden2020prez Nice find! If it's just one time for the setup you can just temporarily change the screen size, no need for you to work on modifying macro droid (unless you really want to...)

                            Biden2020prez nice idea in theory but in practice with many apps there is app functionality that only works with the pointer disabled such as scroll-up and certain selects and other than the power button which exits the apps I don't see a way of disabling mouse within app to toggle for non-root

                                dovwcom Ha, just make a second macro that puts it to 0

                                  I made a macro that turns mouse on and off (so you can set it to one button). It also displays a toast on bottom that says mouse on and mouse off (it wont show unless you allow display over other apps which is only allowed with adb, but i figure most people rather have no toast anyway)

                                    Biden2020prez How do you import the file - I tried import within app from storage from home screen and that didn't work at all, tried to import with ES Explorer as text file which failed and then I renamed it to .mdr and the import didn't work either

                                        dovwcom Very weird. It opens just fine with fx file, but i just tested with es and it didn't. You can bluetooth it to your phone and click on it from notifications, and open with macrodroid. That worked for me.

                                          How do you install apps so they'll stay if you factory reset the phone
