[Q] S-Pen mouse cursor AOSP/AOKP

I have noticed that in some AOSP/AOKP build's the mouse cursor automatically shows up on screen when using the S-Pen. I quite like this feature actually, because it really helps with the S-Pen accuracy, especially in things like Citrix receiver and Pocket Cloud where the mouse cursor totally makes sense.
Does anyone know how to enable/disable this with the S-Pen? Is there some line in the build.prop that I'm missing? Help!

Goto file
/system/usr/idc/sec_e-pen.idc
open in Text Editor
change the value
touch.deviceType = touchScreen
(for mouse pointer off)
touch.deviceType = default
(for mouse pointer on)
save, reboot and enjoy

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'll try that! Thanks!

Would that work in other builds - including official?

OK, that method worked and removed cursor. But I noticed that when writing palm rejection is disabled??

[Q] Mouse tweaks for emulators

Hello all
Im trying to solve the issue that emulators such as Dos Box, ScummVM, UAE etc have when using a real mouse (plugged in with bluetooth or usb). The 2 main problems are the built in android cursor / pointer being displayed on top of the cursor from the emulator, and the mouse not going past the edge of the screen (for things like turning laying games such as doom).
Would this sort of change be possible by creating an Xposed module? Is so, does anyone have any pointers as to which classes i need to be modifying? Im guessing that the edge wrapping issue will be something in the MotionEvent.java class, but no idea about the pointer icon yet.
My end goal would be to create an easily togglabe solution that allows changing between default mouse behaviour, and a modifed style for emulators.
Thanks
Adam

Made some progress with this so far. Got the cursor hiding working. Ive attached the APK of what ive done so far. It works great for hiding the system pointer within ScummVM. To enable this set the pref and reconnect your mouse (turn off and on again). The cursors seem to only be updated when the mouse is connected to the system.
Does anyone have any ideas how to allow things like DosBox to not get stuck on the edge of the screen mouse wise? This is for things like turning in FPS games etc.

Glass Mouse

Thanks to jtxdriggers' glass launcher, I have been able to install and launch a number of legacy android apps on my glass. Unfortunately since xe12+ the touchpad no longer allows us to change focus in these apps which makes them pretty limited. Right now I am using a usb Favi keyboard to 'tab' through different elements to regain some control over legacy apps. In most cases this works fairly well.
There are some elements however that are not selectable through tab, and a mouse would be pretty useful. However, all I can get out of the touchpad of my favi is cursor movements. I've also installed synergy, and although the keyboard support works great, again the mouse cursor moves but no clicks ever make it to ui elements.
When I connect through adb and call a getevent -l, I can see that both the favi and synergy create new /dev/input/event# to control the mouse. I can also see left_btn and right_btn down and up events firing as well as scroll wheel events and cursor movement events. This leads me to believe that the drivers for the mouse is installed and working properly.
It appears to me that there is some disconnect between the system events of a mouse click and the UI event listeners. What I don't know is where those two meet up in the system. Any direction or advice from here would be greatly appreciated.

Touch input does not work at all

On my HP Spectre x360 touch input does not work at all on Remix OS Player. Touching the screen just moves the mouse cursor around. The cursor is not located where I am touching. It is almost as if it is trying to emulate mouse input like you would do with a remote desktop system on a phone. This makes Remix OS Player useless for touch enabled apps on tablet/convertible PCs.

Keyboard Case - Touchpad Scrolling

So I had bought this tablet at launch, then ended up returning it because of once issue: the scrolling on the touchpad is just emulating a finger swipe, not a mouse wheel. This made it so that I could not scroll when in remote desktop apps, it would just act like I was clicking the left mouse button and dragging.
Has this issue been resolved with any updates?
