v2.0

XtMapper v2

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback to improve the project.

What's new

• Rewrite many parts of the keymapper to do processing in the server #39
  This improves performance and latency by reducing usage of expensive binder IPC calls but introduces some other issues.
  They will be fixed in another release.

• Automatically pause/resume keymapping on launching editor 70cd485
• Request notification permission for API 33 by @ilhan-athn7 in #31
• Allow precise adjustment of swipe delay values for dpad and swipe keys #14 #17
• Show an alert dialog to user when root access is not found. This dialog will prompt user to grant root from kernelSU app.
• Added themed app icon support (monochromatic) for Android 13/Material you.
• Adjust x y coordinates to center of key #29
• Hold key to activate shooting mode #19
• Input device selector dialog has been removed and devices will be auto detected.
• Shortcut key to pause or resume keymapping has been added and can be set from settings #18 .

• XtMapper can be added as an input method in Android system settings #18.
  Set it to be used as virtual keyboard so that XtMapper can detect text input activity and pause/resume keymapping accordingly.

Bugfixes

• An issue where mouse right click would unexpectedly interfere with shooting mode #11 #15
• Mouse aim settings dialog loads saved values.

v1.4.1

This release fixes some minor issues in v1.4

• Fixed an issue where the keymap editor would hang after removing a key and saving keymap
• Improved light mode appearance
• Fixed package name associated with profile unexpectedly changing after editing keymap
• Correct path of xtMapper.sh
• Added swipe keys feature #8
• Allow remapping right mouse click #11
• Now you can adjust swipe gesture delay for dpad and swipe keys from settings #10 #14
• Resize dpad from center and in fixed ratio #14
• Auto fill profile name when creating new profile

XtMapper v1.4

• Use system pointer instead of using an overlay
  This requires root access and uinput support to function. It emulates a virtual tablet device using uinput with ABS_X and ABS_Y axes to move Android pointer arrow.
  Earlier the app used APPLICATION_OVERLAY to display pointer, which has some drawbacks like not being able to show pointer on top of surfaces like system UI navigation bar, status bar and quick settings panel.
  This will fix those issues, it can show pointer over system UI areas. If it can't use uinput for some reason, it will automatically fallback to using app overlay.

• Improved mouse smooth scrolling
  Now scrolling with mouse is more natural and smoother. Scrolling speed accelerates with spinning speed of mouse wheel, scrolling has a little momentum.

• Redesigned profiles function #4
  Instead of showing a grid of apps and switching between them, now it was redesigned so that user can add profiles with a name to a list which will be displayed. Individual profiles can be deleted, added or modified. Launch app when activating profile automatically.

• Added keyboard shortcut to switch profiles while active
  Now all keyboard shortcut also explicitly require a modifier key (Ctrl or Alt) to activate.
  Separated settings into 3 sections.

• Use mouse wheel to zoom in/out with simulated two fingers
  From settings you can toggle between Ctrl + Click-drag mouse or Ctrl + Wheel for two finger gesture.

• Now you can map CTRL, ALT and other keys in the keymap editor #3
  This will work only when the keymapper is activated and remote service is running.
  It's also possible to resize dpad by dragging it now.

• Fixed some freezing issues

• Fixed rare crash on first start

• Support remapping key to activate mouse aim #7

• Experimental workaround for storage issue on some Android ROMs #6

• Improved appearance of app theme
