  • Universal Mouse Cursor for the LG Classic

Started by BoruchAdler · Mar 23, 2021 · Page 1 of 6

MOD EDIT - This app is now available for free on the main apps4flip site

Edit - I would like to apologize in public for not giving credit as to where the base for this app came from, this code was based off the following open source project - https://github.com/virresh/matvt Please contribute to the author there to help continue development

Hello there fellow apps4flipers.

I built a Mouse Cursor for the LG Classic and other flip phones that works across all apps in the system and is easy to activate and deactivate once it is setup.

Check out a video of it here - https://streamable.com/qz6ina

The product is still in beta and requires a number of adb commands to setup.

You can now download it for free from the main apps4flip site

We normally do not allow self promotion on these forums, however we reached out to the instatext team and they confirmed that the app is real and legitimate and that Instatext receives all of the money sent to them. Therefore we decided to make a one time exception for this app.

On that note, we sent a donation and received the app within hours and can confirm ourselves that the app works quite well on the LG Classic, definitely worth the 15$ if a universal cursor is on your bucket list.

Anyone tried it on the Exalt?

I did not test it on the exalt since I do not own one and therefore no guarantees, however I do not see any reason why it should not work.

Correct, I designed it to be super easy to switch back to D-Pad mode by just pressing * 3 times. So you can switch back to dpad mode when you need to scroll.

@lgexalter1
I have just added in a scroll mode. So now when you press * 3 times, you cycle through 3 different modes.

  1. Mouse Mode
  2. Dpad Mode
  3. Scroll Mode

To all those who already donated for it, we will be emailing you the upgrade for free

Wow, quite a response we got so far..... Thank you everyone for donating, and looking forward to hearing all of your feedback in this thread.

To all of you who did not donate yet, we cannot wait for you to join in on the action.

how long after you donate do you get it

Does it work on the Kyocera? Will you also email to the donors every update?

Apps4Flip-Admin can you please still work on the other cursor app (posted in the uploaded apps discussion) so we can have one for free ?

hey boruch i see that you have android auto over there is there any way to get it on the kyocera duraxv?

will this mouse work on the apps4flip waze? so i can use waze with all options and be able to also enter addresses?

SamFried

I have not tested it on kyoceras, so donate at your own risk, but I do not see any reason why it should not work.

As for updates, I cannot guarantee anything, but I will try my best.

abe I have not tested it specifically with that app, so donate at your own risk, but It worked with every app that I tried it on so far. It is system wide and not only for 1 app, so yes, it should work for all.

chello It still needs work, once I have it working I will release it.

I now have reports coming in that it works great on Kyocera Phones, however I do not have install instructions for kyocera phones and it will probably vary, so donate at your own risk.

Mouse on Waze for Exalt is very unstable.

On Kyocera Extreme it works great!

SamFried

boruch which commands did you use to install it?

I did it straight through the phone itself

1- install the app.
2- go to developer options
3- all the way at the bottom click advanced settings
4- click accessibility and turn on the mouse app then go back
5- click apps & notifications
6- go all the way down click advanced
7- click special access
8- click display over other apps and allow the mouse app.

I Don't know if this works for cadence.

BoruchAdler the scroll mode needs a improvement, when scrolling it goes till the top or till the bottom can you make it should only scroll one page with every click?

A new link has been sent to all of those that have been having issues downloading.

thanks works grate.. but its a little to fest the mouse with the scroller

could you BoruchAdler send me the mouse without the scroller?

GOLDFISH

BoruchAdler hi when installing the mouse the voice access stops working is it possible to fix with a different command?

L-B

GOLDFISH that is because you have to enable both accessibility services with one command. if you look at my posts you will see the example i gave for enabling voiceaccess together with button mapper. you can follow the same idea for adding this command too you just put a colon in between each service

L-B

i want to get rid of the system notification about the cursor displaying over other apps. can anyone help?

GOLDFISH

L-B could you send the exact command that I have to put?

I released a new update which improved the scrolling speed and makes the cursor disappear after a short amount of time.

It has been emailed out to all people who have donated.

L-B

GOLDFISH

type this instead of the one that starts the same way in the instructions (otherwise follow same)

adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services com.android.cts.apps.accessibility.voiceaccess/com.google.android.apps.accessibility.voiceaccess.JustSpeakService:com.android.cts.appsflipcursor/com.android.cts.appsflipcursor.services.MouseEventService

SamFried

BoruchAdler the update is making problems it's pressing buttons itself in the middle of scrolling

GOLDFISH

L-B when do I put this command after voice access is installed and works or I have to put this command and shouldn’t put the command from voice access on the site?

Boruch offered to send it to us to test and verify for free, but said that if we wanted to use it permanently, then we needed to donate, otherwise it would be stealing. So we donated since the product was very good, and the Instatext project could use some support. They send out millions of messages constantly and servers cost good money.

GOLDFISH

Apps4Flip-Admin could you see a way how it should work together with voice access and not stop what’s the exact command to set up both mouse and voice access

Did anyone get the mouse to work properly on the exalt (especially for waze)?

L-B

GOLDFISH
after voice access is installed and working go ahead and install the mouse following the instructions sent except replace that one command with the one i posted.

L-B

GOLDFISH
Its working right now on my phone

BoruchAdler the scrolling mode make problems in the new version... it pressing buttons wen scrolling

Anyone got the mouse to work on the exalt or does it work with a exalt?

how did u get android auto ?

Hey everyone.

Instatext has informed me that thanks to the many many people who donated, they are now funded enough for the immediate future.

In light of this I have decided to start giving out the app for free to everyone in the next couple of days. Stay tuned.

@Apps4Flip-Admin Can we collaborate to get it on the main site?

Apps4Flip-Admin

Yes, let's do it. Send us the source code and we will build it with our branding and post it on our main site
