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.

I'd like to buy one of the recently announced bluetooth keyboards designed for Windows 8, such as the Wedge keyboard or one from Logitech. How does Android handle the extra function buttons, like the windows key or the volume up/down play pause etc buttons? Is support included or will we need to hack the OS / kernel?
A Windows keyboard is going to use the Windows API for the function keys, which usually means they won't work at all in Android. However, you can always make custom bindings. Check out this tutorial: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=159538

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems.
Version 1.0.81 brings a great new feature (IMO).
* Keep one of the Color Buttons Pressed by tapping the Volume Up or Volume Down Key once
This new feature allows you to hold any one of the Color Buttons in the down position; leaving your finger to use another button I've found this feature great for Shooter Games to hold zoom on weapon leaving your finger to use the fire button. Great to hold the gas pedal down for Racing Games. As you can imagine. You can use this feature for a lot of different uses in your gameplay.
Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.
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.

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.
I bought the remix mini , I like it except that the media buttons (play, pause, next track, previous track) on my k400 don't work. However volume buttons work. Is there anything I can do to make it work? Media controls work on all my mother android devices.
Thank you
its not just your keyboard, mine only work if I have chrome app open in the front.
