Sorry if this is the wrong place to post; I am not able to post a new topic under Android Apps.
For anyone on Android using a cursor app, would it be helpful to have this as another option? Cursors feel a bit cumbersome for me, but I know that can be seen as a positive.
This would use * to activate an overlay over the entire screen, 1-9 to select a cell which would then show a subgrid within that cell, D pad to scroll, 0 and # to zoom, and a specified number of levels/depth to finally perform a click which would be configurable along with other settings. Screenshot (showing the final subgrid/cell and selection) is of an emulated device with a 4.65” screen and Android 15 but the app targets Android 7 and adapts to smaller screens.
I haven’t used cursor apps myself yet, so any insight on how the functionality here compares against your experience with cursor apps or anyone interested in testing on their device down the road would be very helpful!

Yeah I’ll upload a debug/test apk tonight when I’m back home.

I have a debug apk ready but can’t upload attachments as a new user, but I’ll link to GitHub once I push everything up hopefully over the weekend. Just have a few more changes to implement.

The OP wasn’t able to upload this so he sent it to me.
app-debug (1).apk (9.9 MB)
Here are the commands:
adb shell settings put secure accessibility_enabled 1
adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services com.austinauyeung.nyuma.c9/com.austinauyeung.nyuma.c9.overlay.service.OverlayAccessibilityService
adb shell am startservice com.austinauyeung.nyuma.c9/com.austinauyeung.nyuma.c9.overlay.service.OverlayAccessibilityService
Maybe someone can modify it to work with the LG’s and the Cadence.
What kind of modifications? Open to feature suggestions/separate releases if it’s something I can modify on my end.
I am not sure what needs to be done but for a few flip phones you need to modify the app to install it.
Hopefully someone will know and mention it here and you can do it from your side.
The package id needs to start with com.android.cts. In eGate, I use an Android app build flavor to set a custom package id for my LG specific builds.

Can you configure it to work with android 11?
The zoom action didn’t work.
Didn’t Click on android 11.
What’s the advantage to this over any other mouse app?
7 posts were merged into an existing topic: Virtual Mouse on Android 11
What phone? As Dev-in-the-BM said, I’ve seen mentions of a general bug with these kinds of apps on Android 11 but haven’t done much research into it. Did any logs show up in adb during installation/usage that you can provide?
I’ll have documentation on GitHub illustrating this but the idea is to quickly select/gesture some part of your screen with a few (3-4) clicks instead of moving a cursor. For example, think of a grid of 729 or 6561 points; the idea is hopefully that is generally enough points to click some UI element on the screen. Trade off is there will be technically be parts you cannot click.
Is this the only mod or are you aware of any other mods required?
I didn’t use adb i jus installed it with package installer and gave it accessibility access.
It just didn’t work to click nothing happened when i tried to clicked
This is the only mod except to work on lg exalt which mouse doesn’t work so well on anyways so this would be very helpful it has to be able to run on android 6.
I can give the package name com.android.cts… but I’m not sure if that’s the issue you’re having what phone are you trying to install it on
It installed fine on my quin here’s a modified version
C9_signed.apk (9.9 MB)
that should be able to install on phones

Just tried installing on my Kyocera cadence (which has a rough time with most apps) and it installed perfectly fine… Did not give it accessibility permissions yet since I do not have a computer but feel free to try that yourself and let me know though I did get the app up and running
