the stock pointer arrow with new other ones (every moment you want).
So, I have prepared some zip packages which easily, in recovery mode, will flash
new coloured pointers.
Here is a PC screenshot:
Unlike Minix stock pointer, these pointers are well centered:
If you go to -> "Settings" -> "Developer options" -> "Pointer location"
and check the box, you can verify it.
(Besides these packages, there is also a zip package that will flash a centered Minix stock pointer).
This is the procedure to follow (step-by-step):
Unzip the file "Coloured_pointers_flashable_in_recovery_for_Minix _neo_x7.zip":
Copy the content in the main directory of an external sd, and insert it into the Minix X7.
Reboot the device in recovery mode and:
(if in stock recovery)
use the Minix IR remote and
Scroll down to -> "apply update from external storage" -> press ok
Choose your zip package -> press ok
(Minix will reboot two times in recovery mode) ->
"reboot system now" -> press ok
"reboot system now" -> press ok
On the second reboot you will enjoy the new pointer.
(if in cwm recovery)
use the Minix neo A2 remote or any other wifi and wired keyboards and
Scroll down to -> "install zip from sdcard" -> press enter
Scroll down to -> "choose zip from external sdcard" -> press enter
Choose your zip package -> press enter
Scroll down to -> "Yes - Install update..." -> press enter
Scroll down to -> "go back" -> press enter
"reboot system now" -> press enter
On reboot you will enjoy the new pointer.
You can reboot in recovery mode in various ways:
-If you have root access:
install from playstore the free app "Quick Boot": https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ions.quickboot
open it and choose to reboot in --> "Recovery"
-If you don't have root access:
Disconnect any usb cable (if eventually connected)
Insert a pin in the reset hole (on the rear, next to hdmi port) and in the meantime
press the power button (on the right side) and hold both pressed for about 5 seconds,
then leave both them and wait just a little until the device will reboot in recovery.
WARNING:
These zip packages are specific for Minix x7 (jellybean firmware), don't use for other devices.
Don't rename them to update.zip, because, if you do that, automatically they will be recognized as an update package flashable in fastboot mode (and not in recovery mode).
If you give confirmation, Minix will reboot in fastboot and will remain in bootloop until you unplug
the sd card from the device.
PS: Everyone is free to include one or more of these pointers to his own custom rom.
