Vmouse 2 on the TCL Flip 2

Using vMouse - (I think v2), and works great, except that if I try to use the grab 'n drag function, it will grab and drag fine, but won’t let go. I can get it to let go by hitting star button, (turning off mouse mode), but then no mouse clicks will work anymore. The mouse shows on the screen, and moves around, but nothing will be clicked.

I can live without the function, (but would be great if it worked), and I know there is a note in the docs about it being touchy/experimental, so not necessarily complaining about that. All I am wondering is how I could restart the mouse service so that it will start working normally again.

Problem is that I hit the ‘1’ or ‘3’ key by accident sometimes…

The easiest way out that I know is to restrart the phone but I am wondering if anyone has a way to do it without restarting.

(Check out the original post here)

This has happened to me a few times. Just click OK again, and it should let go.

I believe I tried that when it happened and I got no where.

Weird. You could try making a GitHub issue under Issues · neutronscott/flip2 · GitHub

Did that already over there. Thanks!

I’m now reading your original post again.
Why is it such a bad fix for an occasional accidental button press to wait 90 seconds for your phone to restart?
It’s not worth making a big deal over it that Scott should reprogram the whole mouse.

Good question. It mainly gets frustrating when I am chatting with someone or the like and this happens. But you are right that it’s not the biggest deal.

I more like wanted to know of I can restart it while the phone is on, more then scott reprograming the whole thing,

There’s an option in Magisk (I think it’s called soft reboot) that might restart it.

Lol I couldn’t find the option on magisk without using my mouse.

From testing today I think the story is that the 1 function works perfectly and you can end it by pressing ok (like @FliphoneBochur mentioned) but the 3 option presses down on the screen and once you shut the mouse off the select option won’t work anymore.

I would like to be able to set my star / favorites button with button mapper on my TCL Flip 2.

  1. Does anyone know the commands to do so? I did such a thing for the messages button but I don’t remember the commands.
  2. Being that the star button turns on the mouse, will running the commands to be able to personalize it mess anything up?

To answer my own questions:

The commands to do so can be found here.

Remapping the favorites button did not mess around with the mouse at all.
