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

                          chaimzalman somewhere in the 600 posts he said he did it, so i don't think he was asking that.

                              Biden2020prez I was asking because I installed apps as system, and they didn't come back, but I figured it out thanks

                                    ZTEGuy So what is the way to do it?

                                      Jumptoheaven I haven't disassembled the mouse code yet but suspect it's just a hard limit due to how they wanted it to work with the included chromium browser.
