hi,
I would like to use OTG cable + mouse in a game called "heroes of camelot"
the device recognizes the mouse and I can do everything.
BUT when I launch the game above, the game doesn't recognize the mouse.
I tried by using a macro tool called "hiromacro"
Once again the mouse moves the pointer, but no command is recorded.
It seems something changes in the way to process the two types of input; from finger and from mouse's left button.
then I tried to control my S3 from PC through an app called "teamviewer"
I can see in my PC a window which is showing the S3 screen and I can use the mouse of PC inside the S3.
This time, I can do everything inside S3 and I can also play the game above.
(unfortunately it is not a good solution because it is terribly slow, of course)
but It gives me hope that there is the way to, put it so, " to use a mouse like a finger "
So I ask if there is an app wich let me customize left button mouses's input?
p.s.: ah! I forgot to say that in my S3 I can't use finger, that is to say why I am doing all this mess
(sorry for my bad eng...)
and thanks for any answering or at least for reading
glad that you made xda forum!

I know there are apps to you can download to turn your cell phone into a wireless mouse for your PC, in fact I have one and it works great.
Does anyone know of an app that will do the same thing but be able have a mouse pointer on your Prime using your cell phone as the mouse. I've searched the marked and googled it and get nothing.
If there is not an app like this maybe one of you guru developers here can make one. That would be awesome.
I think this should work with the client and server installed

I'm not rooted yet but this may be the reason I root. Keep the suggestions coming.

Mobile mouse works great, if you're just looking to control the mouse functions. There's also LogMeIn, if you're looking for more functionality (remote desktop type stuff).
These work on a PC, but I'm not sure how well, or if these would work on the TFP.
I have a app that controls my computers mouse pointer from my phone. What I'm looking for is an app like that but to put a mouse pointer on my Prime and be able to control the pointer from my phone. So it would really be an app that creates a mouse pointer on the Prime and is controlled by the phone. This way I could sit back and control my Prime while connected via HDMI on my bigscreen and not have a long HDMI cable or have to get up to mess with the tablet.

That works just fine. I found it while looking to use my phone as a BT keyboard to use cheats in GTA III. Mouse also works.

So will this app put a mouse pointer on the Prime and control said cursor from the phone? I'm not really going to use my phone as a game controller what I really want is a cursor on my Prime to control it like it was in the dock (I don't have a dock) remotely.
That's two apps that need root to work so I may be closer to rooting if one of these will do what I want.
is there an app that enables you to use your S2 as a bluetooth mouse?
i see ones that let you control the cursor with your finger on the phone screen but i mean one that controls the cursor using the phone gyro sensors, so you actually lay the phone on your desk and move it around like a mouse in your hand and mouse buttons are a graphical display on the phone screen.. the volume up and down rocker could even be used as page forward or page back like the side buttons on a mouse.
if this kind of app does not exist, why not? you could basically use your phone to replace another item.. the computer bluetooth or wi-fi mouse.
You can install wifi mouse or remotedroid from google play store it will make the same as u want

no it does not do as i asked!! it does as i described.. you have to use your finger on the screen to move the cursor... that is NOT what i want!
i want an app that uses moving the phone around to move the cursor NOT using the screen as a trackpad!!
Let me describe for u technically how to make what ur aiming to have .
Two ways you can have tbis
1st to use the camera and the motion sensors in the device to depict the same motion on the pc which will drain the battery within 1 H
2nd to use the NFC with the motion sensors which needs another NFC device and also NFC is not installed in i9100 so its expensive and no one will develope the same .
But let me agree with u i like the idea regardless that i think that it will not benifit ur usage and also it will not be comfortable.

ok reply to that...
1. could always plug phone into the usb when the battery gets low. i use a laptop so would work ok for me.
2. i agree
....i have played with the phone, moving around like a mouse next to my laptop and i find it very comfortable.
i dont understand why it is so difficult. can already use the phone as a trackpad with your finger via bluetooth. so if phone has sensors to detect all movement in all directions, why cant a program access those and then use them to make the phone act like a mouse.. it is basically only left right forward and back???
Hello to all, sorry for the long title but i wanted to make it clear.
Here's the situation, I sometimes play emulated games on my Galaxy S3 and as you may realize, the virtual on-screen gamepad isn't very comfortable when on my home (it gets the job done if i'm using it as a portable console) so I decided that i wanted to use an USB Gamepad i own to play my games in a more comfortable way. I know i can just go and get an OTG cable, and i will try to get one these days, but I fear they might not sell them here and I'm not a fan of buying stuff online.
My initial solution was to use My Mobiler for Android , as it allows to use the pc keyboard and mouse on the phone after connecting via wifi or usb, together with Xpadder, a software to map my gamepad to keyboard keys. While this gets me to the point of being able to navigate my phone using the gamepad, when i try to set up the Input in the emulators they will make a distinction between the arrows and Return keys (which seem to be taken as the Hardware DPAD buttons, that's why i can navigate the phone and use those functions in-game) and the other keys in my physical keyboard, which won't work if mapped to game buttons (A,B,L,R, etc) but will work if mapped to emulator options such as Savestates or Fastforward.
This is really disappointing as I actually thought i could save on the OTG cable by using this, but being things as they are, I'd like to ask if anyone can give me a hint on how to make this work the way I want it, or if by any chance someone (devs specially) would be up to the task of developping a server/client app that would work as Gamepad-to-Phone version of Xpadder (mapping the gamepad buttons as Phone-Hardware keys (Camera, Power, Back, Menu, Volume Up, Volume Down, DPAD) with MyMobiler's capabilty to connect with the phone via wifi and send remote input to it by installing an "Input Method" as well. I know this might require root but my phone is rooted already so that'd be fine for me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that would use such an app to play games more easily without buying extra cables, which is why i'd ask anyone that decides to take on such a project to make it free because it isn't a very profitable project as people would rather buy an OTG cable or use other bluetooth/wireless controllers to play instead.
So any help/suggestion/advice will be greatly appreciated
Sorry for the double post, but I thought this would be better for those who already saw the topic, in case they're interested on doing the same I did.
In the end I managed to make it work with My Boy (Gba emulator) by using MyMobiler's hardware mapping for volume +/-, back, search and menu buttons and the DPAD (F10,F9, ESC, F2, F3, arrows and Enter) and now i can more or less play emulated games, as long as they don't require any buttons aside from select, start and 4 other buttons. As I said, emulator's own actions such as save, load, fast forward or opening emulator settings can be mapped to any other non-hardware key.
Still it would be great if there was an Input Method that would make the emulators recognize other hardware keys (as if there was a complete hardware keyboard for example), I've tried GBC.Emu with my workaround and it's useless.. It recognizes the volume +/-, menu and search buttons as Virtual; and only the Back and DPAD as mobiler_keyboard. making it unplayable this way (you'd need at least 4 buttons aside from the Dpad).
Exactly what I was looking for....
This is somewhat similar to what I am looking for.I am searching for a tool that would send information to my android over local Wifi (same router) via usb. For example, I want to connect my xbox360 controller to my pc and use it as a game controller for my android over wifi. I tried OTG, but unfortunately my hardware dont support it...and I wondered if at all this idea would work. Any help here?
Hi,
This is a tricky question, I fear. I bought a Bluetooth mouse, and I'm using it when I connect remotely to my computer (using Google's Remote desktop). I thought it would be used like on a computer, but I see that:
- I have to press my left mouse button and then move it in order to move the mouse pointer in my computer.
- Right clicking the mouse does nothing.
- Scroll does nothing.
So I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Perhaps an app to remotely connect to my computer that can utilize a mouse as is. Perhaps an app that somehow monitors my Bluetooth mouse and allows it to right click and scroll. Perhaps both.
Anyone have any suggestion? Thank you!

As the title suggests, I'm wondering if the default for right-clicking with a mouse still functions as a "back" button? As dumb as this is, its somewhat of a deal breaker for trying to play certain PC games using streaming apps like Moonlight. I've read in a few posts that using DeX mode the mouse behaves normally. Can anyone who has had their hands on a device confirm? I'd like to be able to use a mouse normally without rooting my device as I'd likely break it.
In Dex mode the mouse behaves as on a PC. Outside Dex right click is back.
