Presents the Official
MIUI RELEASE
Donate to the man responsible to the EVO Gingerbread Build: StiffSpliff
StiffSpliff NEVER asked me to do this but we have to show some respect for his time. Donations keep Dev's from having to charge for sites and other things you see other Dev's doing now a days
I am not connected to these Paypal account's at all in fact I've only donated to it! Linked straight to StiffSpliff aka the man behind this
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Welcome to the Original XDA support thread for the MIUI HTC EVO 4G and the Official XDA support thread for the MIUI.US version of the HTC EVO 4G port!
MIUI is an extraordinary ROM presented and ported all over the world. We are a worldwide family and this thread supports all HTC EVO 4G MIUI global users. Recent changes have led to the development of two separate HTC EVO 4G MIUI ports. In the interest of providing the most relevant and highest quality support, this thread offers specific support for the ORIGINAL version of the MIUI HTC EVO 4G ROM, which resides at MIUI.US. We will continue to discuss and support general questions about MIUI, however; if you are using the MIUI-devs version of the HTC EVO 4G port and need specific help with that port, we recommend posting your questions in the MIUI-devs home thread. Of course we would welcome you to join us on the Original port here at XDA or at MIUI.US.
As this XDA thread is comprised primarily of original MIUI users running the MIUI.US port it may be difficult for most of us to trouble shoot for a different version. With that stated, MIUI.US is built on cooperation, community and inclusion and we will do our best to assist any and all MIUI enthusiast regardless of port version, release date or handset. MIUI.US is the continuation of a tradition and a new beginning for MIUI on the HTC EVO 4G. Welcome to our community, we are glad you are here and hope you will join us in building the best community on the net!
Your XDA-MIUI.US HTC EVO 4G support team [Stiffspliff, Tyzing, EndlessDissent, Jasonk75 and Just_s & Manup for his amazing graphics, themes and our banner]
Kernel Info: Generally MIUI uses the CM7 stock kernel. Of course others can be used. For more info on the CM7 kernel and CM7 visit: http://bit.ly/z3Cz2O
[BUGS] Official Bugs Report Thread [GB][Fresh Start]
Unable to download from market
Solution: Open the "downloads" app from your homescreen, hit menu, and select download using wifi network. Then hit menu again, and re-select download using mobile network.
No 4G/WIMAX
Stop Asking, its in the works PS Stop asking
The illegible text bug (3rd party apps)
Solution: This is due to the Chinese devs at miui.com slowly implementing the new UI.
(using root explorer as an example)
Go to menu - settings - programs - manage applications - root explorer
Scroll down to "Compatibility mode" and toggle.
This will make root explorer usable.
This workaround may not work on all apps!
It's annoying, yes, but it's what we have at the moment.
Screen flashing black/white when scrolling
Solution: Toggle compatibility mode for that app. If it's on, turn it off. If it's off, turn it on.
No 720P video
Waiting for the Chinese to implement this. Or for CM to implement this. Currently not available on any cm7 or miui supported phone.
Some apps force closing i.e. Engadget, Mint.com, (tried uninstalling and re installing from market)
Solution: try running in compatibility mode, some apps are not 2.3 ready.
No FM Radio App
Solution: None Yet
GPS Menu Settings GPS Fix (Just_s Guide)
menu-settings-personal-my location
use wireless networks - ON (your wifi must be on, doesn't have to be connected)
use gps satellites- ON
see of gps works, if not, go back to same menu
go to gps configuration
in NTP server address, add a 0. in front, to make it 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
supl server address: supl.google.com
supl server port: 7276
hit ok
**If you are in the US you can alternately set the NTP SERVER ADDRESS to us.pool.ntp.org. Elsewhere in North America should leave it as stiffspliff recommends above. Other countries should see this link: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html and note the 4th paragraph.
GPS Status & Toolbox Fix
Download 'GPS Status & Toolbox' from Market
Enable GPS
Open GPS Status & Toolbox
Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Reset
Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Download
Menu > Tools > Compass calibration > follow popup directions
I know that these have helped several users and are much simpler and faster than the ##GPSCLRX# fix so they can be a good place to start.

MIUI for Beginners
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste.
Click Net Disk on the desktop, and you’ll see MIUI has prepared a variety of amazing apps for you, including notes, audios, videos and IM and so on. You are free to choose and install what you like! (Please make sure your phone is connected to wifi.)
> You may also download more apps in electronic markets. You need to install the corresponding market (some can be downloaded in “Net Disk”), and then go get more apps.
> I’d like to install apps downloaded from the computer, what should I do? First copy the downloaded file (.apk) into your SD card. Then pick up your phone, click “File Manager” on the desktop, find the file you copied and click to install it.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?

MIUI In The News
MIUI is far from a "basement app" here is some news from MIUI:
http://technode.com/2011/04/14/rumour-lei-jun’s-miui-android-rom-teams-up-with-guess-who/
Lei Jun is ex-Kingsoft CEO (like Microsoft), co-founder of Joyo.com (sold to Amazon), now Chairman of Great Wall Club and Angel Investor. His newer product, MIUI under his start-up Xiaomi, is stirring rumours about an OEM partnership.
MIUI is a 3rd party Android ROM tailored for the Chinese market. Think about it like a layer on top of your Windows OS on your computer, to make it more customised and personal, but on mobile. From their website it says it enables faster dialling, better security and a big library of themes and skins.
Last weekend at a developer conference there was some chatter about MIUI partnering with a big OEM. We can speculate it could be with Samsung, Motorola or LG because all are bringing their Android phones into the Chinese market. We have reason to suspect the OEM partner is Motorola because as an American based OEM, they know less about Chinese user behaviour compared to Korean based Samsung or LG. It has also been reported that Dianxin, another Android ROM incubated under Innovation Works is partnering with Sharp. Motorola needs to make a good impression to stand out in China, where competition with other Android phone’s is fierce

http://technode.com/2011/01/13/why-xiaomi-raised-35millions-to-design-a-real-phone/
Xiaomi is an iPhone/Android development company invested by Lei Jun, the board chairman of UCWeb, the leading Chinese mobile browser; ex-executive director of Kingsoft; co-founder of Joyo.com which is sold to Amazon at 2004. We used to report that,
Xiaomi has raised another round of $35million from Morningside Venture and Qiming Venture partner. The valuation of Xiaomi is reported at $200million.
$200million valuation?! Seriously, as an iPhone/Android development company, Xiaomi is able to attract that much of attention and money, which sounds insane. I could not get it, until yesterday two friends both confirmed with me, Xiaomi is not just about designing mobile applications, but designing a phone, I mean a real phone.
Looking at Lei Jun’s recent investment, I am totally impressed,
UCWeb – the leading Mobile browser (our previous coverage);
Xiaomi – one of the most promising iPhone/Android development company which already released several applications including Xiaomi Reader (iBooks like) and Miliao (a copycat of Kik);
MIUI – Android-based mobile OS;
Xiaomi Phone?!
So Lei Jun has the mobile operating system, the browser and the applications, once there is a nice phone, he actually is able to reach all the important sectors in future’s mobile phone industry. Smart!
The rumor says that the phone will come into the market in Q3, 2011. Is Lei Jun building a Chinese Apple?

Drag the file to your SD/MIUI/THEME
Then you'll see the theme in the theme manager
Also make sure you did a full wipe. Some of these issues have been fixed in the ROM that should be released tonight or tomorrow

INTRODUCING SwiftOpen
To speed lovers: this is the app you thought didn't exist but always wanted.
SwiftOpen is a launcher (not a home launcher) that allows you to launch apps, shortcuts, contacts, calls... very, very fast.
Not only is it fast at launching whatever you want, but its interface also allows you to choose it quickly, without even looking at the phone. And this applies to as many shortcuts as you wish.
It is also lightweight and battery friendly!
Awesome video by Android Hackz:

Appearing on XDA-TV:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/3-unique-launchers-xdatv/
TRANSLATIONS:
I can provide native translations for Spanish and Catalan. If anyone wanted to contribute translating the app to any other language it would be very helpful. If so, please pm me or send me an email. Thanks!
Features:
Very fast launching
App launching
System toggles such as torch, wifi, autorotate...
Did I say fast?
Shortcut launching
Recent apps and calls
Guided setup
Folders that allow even more shortcuts
Multiple detectors
Multiple actions per detector
Custom icons for folders
Icon pack support
Alt-tab to switch to the previous app
Tablet (and phablet) mode
Intuitive settings
Battery friendly
Plenty of customization
I have already incorporated many features suggested by xda members. Any suggestion is welcome, and if I have time and I find it appropriate, I'll add it!
LAUNCHING IN PREVIOUS STATE:
Since v0.8.3 SwiftOpen launches apps in their previous state instead of restarting. Some apps behave different than expected, and need to be treated in a different manner so that they are resumed instead of restarted (like Whatsapp and gReader). I have a white list of these apps, so if you find an app that is restarted tell me and I'll try to verify that they'll be resumed if treated differently, to add them to the whitelist.
SOME PHONES:
The app does not work on some Huawei phones because of the rom -apps with floating windows don't work there. At least with those that I've tested. If someone has a Huawei phone with stock rom and it works, please tell me.
It does not work with some Xiaomi Redmi either. If someone has a Xiaomi phone and finds that the app works with the stock rom, please also tell me.
It is not because of the code in the app, but the rom those phones have...
VERSIONS:
v0.4 and v0.5 have not been optimized for Lollipop.
From v0.5.1 and up it is optimized for Lollipop.
In v0.6 the signature and the package name have changed (among other stuff) which means you'll have to configure it again, as it won't install on the previous version but in parallel. I'm sorry about this. The apk is also larger, because of the icons and all the changes in the project structure; it'll improve in next versions, I hope.
0.6.2 uses more ram than it should, and there are a few other issues.
ANDROID ISSUES:
If you go to the home launcher and then launch an app, it won't be launched until about 5 seconds after going home. It's how Google wants it to be, and I'll try a workaround in the future but I'm not sure if it'll work. Nevertheless, the point of this app is not needing to go to the home launcher
BETA:
This app is currently in beta. All your feedback will be more than welcome.
And you can also suggest new features...
If the app crashes it asks you to send me an email, with the Logs. You can see what is being send, so don't worry about your privacy, it is safe!
OPEN SOURCE:
Now I have to fix some bugs, add a bit of functionality, and clean up the code. Whenever this is done (in a few weeks, I hope) the app will be open source.
MATERIAL DESIGN:
I am also working on bringing material design to the app.
Nevertheless the priority is bug-fixing and functionality.

Improve aesthetics and animations
Add missing translations

Great job
I'll keep an eye to see how it evolves. By now it looks promising.
It would be great to include the ability to add widgets as well.
Yes, it's planned. I will add the features I have planned so that you know them. But that's after bug fixing, when the app is open source. So it'll take a while yet. At least a month.
Awesome! (some feedback)
I've been looking for something like this for so long. I simply love shortcuts. I've been trying it for a day now and here is my feedback (and some suggestions):
- Settings don't apply inmediately. You have to turn off and close the app and then restart it for them to work. (It would be awesome to see real-time changes (i don't know how difficult that is), for example, for the vertical position of the border detection).
- The alt+tab function is simply genius, i use it more times than i expected. Keep that up.
- Rows and columns could be editable for each table. For example, i got a "Contacts table" (where a folder in my main page redirects to) where i'd like 6 contacts but i want 4x3 icons in my "Main table". So that would be a cool feature too.
- The permanent icon: I don't know it's purpose. If it's only to close the app, maybe an in-app long press button or something will do better and be less invasive for the drawer?
That's all for now, i will edit, if you want, with more feedback on the next days. :good:

Thank you very much for your feedback. About settings, I know that and its in the bug list to be fixed.
Rows and columns editable for each table is also into consideration. Nevertheless I don't think it is intuitive because the cells would not be in the same position.
And if the permanent icon means the notification, it is because to ensure that the app is not killed by the system, it is required to have a permanent notification.
If you give me more feedback it will be highly appreciated
Here's some more
Here are two more things i noticed:
- The border detector sometimes gets graphically buggy and it shows a big rectangle where the thin line should be. I assume it's the detector losing its transparency. I have a Nexus 4 running cm11 M10 (maybe it's only my problem)
- And second, sometimes when you accidentally fast click the border, it opens youtube (in my case the top central shortcut) instead of the one that belongs to the very edge of my screen (which i have empty to prevent this cases in particular, though it seems not to work)
I leave a screenshot with my config also.
About the big rectangle in my phone it happens very very rarely. But I'll fix it as soon as I discover what causes it.
And about launching YouTube, I'll look into it. Nevertheless it shouldn't be necessary to leave that cell empty if you use the "distance to drag necessary..." preference. I know the name is not intuitive but it prevents the detector from opening the launcher when the drag is very short (taps).
Thanks!

Nice work
Awesome app, I'd love to see it fully perfected!
Here's my feedback:
1. When the launcher is activated when in SwiftOpen Settings, the activity stack is all messed up, (especially if you go into creating a new table and opening the launcher while configuring it). While pressing back, the same activities come repeatedly and I have to press back a lot of times to exit the settings. Not a big issue, but a rough edge to be polished. I think it can be solved by providing a separate task stack for the launcher activity alone, by specifying a
Code:
android:taskAffinity
for the launcher activity in the manifest file.
2. Android limitation of launching an activity from a service only after at least 5 sec, is unfortunate. I was riddled with the same problem, however to overcome that, I replaced the activity and made the entire thing "draw over other apps". I am not sure whether it'll work properly in this case, but worth a try anyway.
I'll come back soon for the updates.
Edit: I guess point 2 is in place, since I don't see the delay anymore.
I noticed the stack issue and forgot to write it down, so haven't tried to fix it. I'll try as soon as possible. Thanks for the feedback!

The "Distance of drag necessary..." works just perfectly fine!
I also noticed the stacking-back problem but i thought it was only me...
Keep up the awesome job!
Edit: Trying out the new v0.3 and noticed one thing, it's hard to explain so i'll try my best.
When you swipe away the apps from the "recent menu" (i dont know how to call it, it's the bottom right soft button on a Nexus4) and you leave it completely empty, using the Alt+tab function closes the app everytime.
It may be silly but that's a bug i think (although not very critical )

Thanks! I hadn't noticed that. I'll try to fix it as soon as possible! It's not a typical scenario, though
Liking it very much so far. Looking forward to new updates!

Apart from that, awesome app but I really would like to see drag and drop re-arrangement options for setting up my tables its a bit of a pita to remove and re-add when setting thigns up :-/

Thanks for telling me about the name. When I looked for it it didn't appear (or I didn't see it). Nevertheless I'll put Swift open - Launcher or something like this, in the play store.
About drag and drop, it's in the long lost of to-dos but not a priority. First I have to fix some bugs. Thanks!

Folder suggestion
Great App! Please consider allowing custom icon for each folder.
After using the phone for a month, here are my biggest problems with the device.
1. No Double tap to wake up, or even Raise to wake up. With the fingerprint on the back, and the small power button on the side it's really hard to wake up the phone just to check your notifications.
2. Notifications not working sometimes for some apps. Multiple reports for Viber and other apps even after giving permission to work on the background and show on the lock screen still not working.
3. No notification badge for all apps. Just for couple. As ex iPhone user this is great that some apps have it, but it would be better all apps to support it.
4. Notes doesn't sync with Google account. Big problem. On my iPhone it was so nice that all my notes were showing on the Notes app. Even when I had Galaxy Note 2 and 3 this was available.
5. No Reminders app. Okay they are trying to mimic the iOS experience, how they could forget about Reminders app? Now is so annoying to add a simple reminder. You need to go to Calendars app, make event, from there make it reminder... It's easier to use Google search and add it there by voice. But the tone for Google search is very weak and it's easy to miss the notification.
6. I would like more Themes. The catalog is pretty poor. Especially now for holidays it would be great more themes. And for kids too (Off-topic: Please make Frozen (movie) theme and upload it to the theme store, kids will love it).
7. Right now no Night mode. Hope they will add this with Update.
8. Stock Apps are not uploaded in Google Store. Huawei is still lacking in this area. Most OEMs are uploading all their apps for faster and easier updates. Now we need a new firmware if there is something broken/missing.
9. Huawei keyboard - this is connected to 7. It's outdated and missing a lot emojis. Had to switch to Google keyboard. For some reason Huawei keyboard makes less mistakes when typing and less mistakes when swyping. And instead of those ugly Blobs/robots emojis to change them to iOS/Samsung style. With those blobs most of the time you don't know what they express.. At least this is a big problem for me.
10. I wish the OS would use iOS/Samsung style emoji. Samsung phones see them like the one here on XDA, now even if you get text from iPhone, they show up as blobs.. Really hate this. Even developers are adding iOS style emojis in the android apps - Watsapp, Facebook messenger and others...
11. I don't know how it's called, Huawei assistant that finds your phone or makes calls. Too restricted. Here should be "Add reminder", "Wake up" simple command to wake up the screen. This is a good solution for number 1 from the list here.
12. No way to turn off the Haptic Feedback. This is really annoying! I don't like it, don't want it and not being able to get rid of it is a big problem.
I think this is all I don't like right now. If something comes up I will add it.
So, what about you?
P.S: If you want something or have problem with something please report it with Huawei Product & Technical Support Here.
I can only count 4 issues preventing this phone to be perfect for my needs:
1. Double tap to wake
2. No option to increase vibration
3. No option to hide nav buttons in certain applications
4. Image stabilization

There is image stabilization - Stabilizer from the settings. It will crop a little the frame but works pretty good

1- use "wave to unlock" working very well
2- is it really a problem?
3- you can if you have root
4- software image stabilization is here already

1. Valid (u could root and get xposed)
2. Valid (i think there are xposed modules for this no idea. havent rooted myself)
3. Valid (but u could get nova launcher or sth)
4. No idea about this one, dont personally use notes
5. I think this is a minor problem, nothing major tbh
6. There are plenty of emui themes on the interwebz
7. idk which version you have but I have night mode in mine (non rooted stock). You just go to do not disturb and u can set evening times
8. Valid (but u could root and disable and then use google apps)
9. Keyboard is minor problem. plenty of choices on google play store that blow this crappy stock keyboard out the water i.e. google keyboard, swype, swiftkey (personally i use google)
10. (same as 6)You can get themes for that on xda and interwebz that change icons (if you use huawei home. Also, nova launcher etc. can change icons)
11. I wouldnt use huawei assistant to begin with. But thats your own personal opinion. (google now is way better)
12. Um again, idk what version you have but i can turn off haptic feedback (as in vibrations). Settings -> Sound -> Vibrate on touch.
ofc this is your personal list but rooting or following some of my suggestions could easily fix most of this. Also, in the next nougat update which will prob come around december or the very latest january, i think notifications are fixed. Ofc, they might add more settings as the beta build is beta and things can easily change as long as huawei wants to.

XDA Article
What is it for:
Helps you to use big screens easily with one hand by introducing a computer like cursor controlled with one finger by swiping from edge of the screen.
How to use:
1. Swipe from left or right margin from the bottom half of the screen.
2. Reach the top half of the screen by dragging the tracker using one hand in the bottom half.
3. Touch the tracker to click with the cursor. The tracker will disappear on any action outside the tracker or after a period of time.
TIP: While using the quick cursor, touch with another finger to open the quick settings menu.

Credits
Quick Cursor is an alternative to the already known Reachability Cursor app. I really liked it, and I appreciated the developer attitude and his vision about the app in his replies online. Unfortunately, NiftyUI's last message about the app was on 7 October 2018 and the last app update was on 4 October 2018 and it doesn't work on most Android 10 phones. I do hope that he is ok, and give him a big thumbs up for the idea and the implementation!
Why
I saw a lot of threads and replies on XDA and Reddit for an alternative app for Reachability Cursor for a long time and I needed one too!
Monetization
The app uses the same monetization scheme as Reachability Cursor: it offers an In-App purchase for "PRO" mode which adds some more functionalities (floating tracker mode, long clicks, edge actions) and a lot of customization on each part of the app: cursor, tracker, trigger area, tracker area, cursor area, feedback. Basically this is a support for the developer (me), because the free version should be enough for most use cases.
Help needed
The app should run on Android 7.0 or later, theoretically. I tested it only on 10 devices running Android 9 and Android 10 (Pixel, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oneplus).
I need help to collect some feedback on this early version from more devices, so please send feedback anywhere (here on XDA, Telegram, Reddit, Email, Play store), including the device name and Android version.
I'm more interested in this topics:
critical bugs that won't let you use the app properly
if it works ok daily in your case
if you see any performance impact on your phone
90hz or 120hz affected?
feature requests
I need these feedback to estimate the current state of the app and how much work I have to do until I can fully release it, not early access, and more polished. I don't work as a full time Android Developer, so I don't have a lot of things necessary to test it well enough on my own (time, phones, knowledge, etc), and don't want to release the app publicly if it is not polished enough.
Thank you!

Version Information
Status: Beta
Current Beta Version: 0.9.9 Beta
Beta Release Date: 2020-04-25
Created 2020-04-25
Last Updated 2020-11-07
My current to do list, which contains bugs, feature requests, nice to have, possible fixed problems, ideas, etc.
It's a raw draft of what I probably should do next:
Code:
Important features:
- OnePlus trigger bug with navigation gesture: add a warning message for OnePlus devices
- refactor all coordinates system to use only one display size (because of navigation bar/display cutouts/status bar/resolution change)
- refactor all sizes to use only one unit (dp or px)
- refactor (cursor drawing, ripple drawing, gesture recorder drawing, trail drawing) all in only one overlay view to increase performance
- cache all size operations
- default trigger/tracker/cursor sizes based on display size ratio (tall phones, small phones, big phones, etc)
- translations
- blacklist/whitelist: start/stop the app based on what app is running
- more simple configs to "simple triggers": cursor speed (slow, normal, fast), trigger position (lowest, low, middle)
- a new way to configure zones with a nice UI with visual resize and drag of the areas
- edge actions improvements: more actions, different action per left/right/top edge and each side to split in half with a nice UI to configure
- backup/import/export app configs
Nice to have:
- [experimental] "WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" to automatically restart accessibility service when the Android System Bug appears
- [experimental] make the long click trigger faster by interrupting the event (if possible) (also edge action swipe)
- landscape mode
- Chrome accessibility mode: address bar and tabs are permanently show if there is an accessibility service enable - see if something can be done to fix this
- Cursor trail animation
- Cursor animations: on show, on click, on gesture record, on hide
- optimize images inside apk
Bugs:
- OnePlus trigger bug with navigation gesture
- Accessibility Service is not detected as enabled in some cases
- long click not working on devices with long click wrong default time
So, there are still a lot of things, and I will implement them week by week when I have some free time
Troubleshooting
Bug: The app stops working after some time
Solution: Some manufacturers (Xiaomi, Huawei, and others) are killing the background apps even when the user doesn't want that, so the user must do some special configs to disable that.
Each manufacturer has his own settings, you can check more details about this here: https://dontkillmyapp.com
Bug: "Open settings" from Quick actions doesn't work on MIUI
Fix: "Display pop-up while in background" permission should be enabled manually for Quick Cursor in the MIUI settings. This permission is specific to MIUI.
Bug: Tapping with cursor stopped working or never worked
Possible fixes:
restart the Quick Cursor accessibility service
force stop the app from the phone settings and start the accessibility service again
restart the device (this worked on many devices)
some other accessibility services are blocking the Quick Cursor accessibility service and the app doesn\'t work. This can be fixed only by manual uninstalling other accessibility services.
Unfortunately, in some rare cases on some devices, the accessibility service can't tap or click on behalf of user because of unknown reasons.
If you are in this situation, there is no fix for the moment, but please send me your device model and Android version to gather more data why this happens.
Fantastic, thank you! Got the pro version.
Something I wanted from Reachability that I'm hoping you can implement as well:
An option to have the keyboard take precedence over this app's edge triggers. To prevent accidentally activating while swipe typing.

Also an option to adjust the Tracker pad's opacity, all the way down to 0% (completely transparent) if desired, would be fantastic as well. Really only need to see the cursor, not the thumb control pad.

Yes, I plan to handle the keyboard by raising the trigger zones when the keyboard appears on the screen. It will be available in the next release, hopefully.
Yes, there is already an option to set the opacity to tracker, just change the opacity on the color of the tracker. Unfortunately, this customization is available only on the pro version. Settings -> Tracker -> Inside color and Outside color, change the opacity for both of them to 0.
Thanks!

Yeah I found the opacity after my comment, so I went back and edited it as you were replying lol
Honestly an option to just completely disable them during keyboard would probably be best, if you're typing you probably aren't planning on clicking anything out of reach until you're done typing and the keyboard closes

I totally agree. The first thing I need to do is to detect the keyboard and handle it. After that, I will make it configurable:
Triggers over the keyboard
Triggers removed
Triggers moved above the keyboard
Because everyone wants it differently.
Thanks!
So we finally have an XDA thread for this wonderful app. ?
A huge shout out to the dev (@micku7zu). He is absolutely amazing and super responsive to all questions, feature requests, bug reports, etc. ??
App just dumped all my customizations and is telling me to activate pro version even though it already was. Basically acting like I just downloaded it now for the very first time and never bought it or changed any settings. Please investigate. I don't know if you just updated it or something but yeah it basically did a complete reset. Kinda sucks because I had it exactly how I wanted it, and it took a while trying to get precise numbers with that slider (I'd also recommend letting us click on the number to set it instead of just the slider).

Also being able to put a little black border around the white parts of the cursor would be great. Pretty much exactly how it is now but with a thin black outline on the center dot and outer circle, to make it stand out on a white background like a webpage or something, without having to permanently change it to a darker color all the time.
Yeah, those sliders should have a custom way to input the numbers. I will work on the UI, because currently it is not that great but it does the job.
Great idea with cursor border, I noted the feature request.
About the PRO version problem, I had this bug before, and it is really strange because Google Play Store reports the purchase as not there or in pending, but the purchase was already made and reported as 'purchased' before. I integrated the Google Play Billing library from Google for in app purchases. So I just ask Google what is the current state of the purchase, the response is ok and after some time it tells me that the purchase is 'pending' or not there.
If you have the time and can help me, I can send you a debug version that will print some debug info for me to understand the problem better.
Otherwise, if you just want your app to work again, the only solution I found is to clear the cache (or the app data) of the Play Store from your phone. After that, Play Store will report again the purchase and the application will update to PRO again.
I apologize for these problems, I can't control what Play Store returns, I don't know why it returns bad data, but if you have time to help with debug, it would help me to understand the problem better.
I have updated the app to 0.9.11 Beta and added some debug information on PRO. Tap 7 times on the text below the buy buttons and a debug info will appear below! Thanks

Okay, I can try the debug. I haven't experienced this issue with any other apps so I'd like to help you get to the bottom of it. See latest from non-debug version: https://bit.ly/3bF6z4L

Following these instructions doesn't produce anything. Also I completely uninstalled the app from my phone and reinstalled it and am still getting prompted to purchase the pro version, but when I try to again just for giggles it says I already own it. Yet I still can't change any pro settings - only could for a few hours after my initial purchase (pretty much until your next update came through).
This is why I hate IAP unlocks. Should just have a completely separate apps for free and pro versions. Or a separate app that's just an unlock key that doesn't appear in your app tray. That way you don't have these problems, AND the customer can refund through Google Play.
Can you please double check that you have 0.9.11 Beta from Play Store? After that, tap 7 times the text bellow the buttons: "Any of the above will unlock the same PROversion. The only ...." and then scroll down on the same page. There should be a new box with some debug information.
I have found a way to fix the problem, but I'm still curious about what data Play Store returns in your case. I will fix this in the next release.
If you want to fix it on your phone right now, there are 3 solutions right now:
1. Force stop Play Store and clear data + force stop quick cursor and clear data, after that when you tap on the buy it will work
2. I can refund and revoke the item so you can buy it again right now (or not, if you don't want pro anymore)
3. I can refund your order without revoking the item, so you will get the money back, and you can't buy it again, but the app will start working after Play Store cache data is refreshed or if you do step 1.
I'm happy to help you in any way you want. Thank you for your help!
I have the plan to fix this in the next release, but it is some work to do so it will take some time

First time working with billing in Android, I'm not a full time Android developer, so I did a quick study to find the best way to do it but probably I picked wrong and now it is hard to change.
There is a way to refund in app purchases as well from what I know, it's some kind of online form. It's a side project, I'm not interested in making lots of money from this app, but still want some support for the hours invested, that's why I picked the simplest solution (or what it seemed the simplest solution). Happy to give refund to anyone who has problems or doesn't like the app after the purchase, I'm responsive on any channel.
Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release and everyone will be happy

Yeah I'm not grumbling about the money, I mean I obviously paid for it originally for a reason lol. Would just love to be able to edit it again. The remarks about disliking IAP were just an aside. I just think it would be easier to have one version with the free features, one pro version with everything. Then you don't have any extra scripts checking for the IAP history or whatever else. Cut and dry. That's just generally speaking for all apps, I've noticed this huge trend lately on IAP unlocks.
True, the IAP purchase right now made by Google is crap. They have issues unresolved for a long time: https://github.com/android/play-billing-samples/issues/122 and the overall documentation / implementation is really bad.
For my use case, I already have the plan in mind on how to fix this and to never be a problem again, so hopefully will be implemented in short time before anyone else will have this problem, and thanks for help again!
Did you have time to try the clear app data from Play Store method?

Option 1 solved the problem for me, I didn't have to click buy again. Just a note I did have to reopen Play Store once though to sync back up. Then reopened Quick Cursor and it was good. Going straight to Quick Cursor after clearing data still had the issue but that reopen of Play Store solved it.

Got it all set back up - thanks!
Looking forward to that "disable panels when keyboard is active" and then it will be absolutely perfect! I already uninstalled Reachability, lol.
And also maybe an option to add an outline to the cursor ring and dot, with custom color/thickness, as mentioned before!
Glad that it is fixed now. Sorry for the trouble
First, I will fix this pro problem so it will not happen to more people in the future, and after that I will work on the keyboard
Hi, thanks for the effort. I would like to report that I use OnePlus 7 Pro with forced 90 Hz mode, no issues with that, smooth as should be. I will provide more feedback after some time.
