I thought this would be possible when I bought my EVO. I can't wait to try this.
Thanks lokifish
I've been wanting to try this forever. However I've upgraded to CM7 and they don't have the mouse pointer support, so I guess I'll have to wait to see if/when it's included. I want it, but not bad enough to downgrade to CM6. Back to rockin angry birds on the 50" Plasma. Although I'm using HDMwIn.
I was really happy when I saw mouse pointers in the commit for CM7 but it ended up getting rejected. The rumor was for cosmetic reasons which if true is pretty lame. I also have issue with the stability/bugs of CM7 too but that's a different matter.
The setup really doesn't depend on one app or the other for mirroring.
Hello all,
First, let me say what an Awesome ROM CM is. I love it and I love CM7 even better.
I was hoping to request that the Mouse Pointer for BT HiD mice that was in CM6 could be brought into CM7?
I would make a huge impact on my use of the ROM and I am sure for others also.
HDMI mirroring and the cursor = perfection.
Anyone know if that is even being worked on ? Now that we have HDMI, 4G, keyboard via BT, it is the last remaining piece of the puzzle to make the EVO a full-fledge laptop replacement when traveling...
I wanted to ask this question again, does anyone have any other information regarding the mouse pointer? I ask because this thread mentions the possibility of it being included in CM7 Final. I was able to get the HID support for the keyboard to work with Bluetooth just like on RC4, however still no mouse pointer that I'm able to locate.
There are a few CM6 features that aren’t part of CM7 yet, but they are in the queue for 7.1 already.

Edit: After reading over the submitted change from the before-mentioned thread, I can see why it was not included. The easiest-to-explain issue is the fact that the mouse pointer is static in size and color, regardless of theme or screen resolution.
Can you elaborate for on what the poll question means? By "Desktop UI", do you mean that the browser itself would be in another format that would allow this to work better?
I'm using a BT mouse and pointer with CM7 nightly 41 right now. Hopefully the newest code, submitted on April 17th will be accepted. It is currently under review.

I actually had something like about ten years ago. I used a Toshiba E740 and the A/V Dock to do it.
