    a way to get a smaller mousepointer on X5/X7

    Edit: first text deleted because i have found a solution.

    Problem:

    I want to change the Mousepointericon on my X5.

    Solution:
    You have to change the icon named "pointer_arrow.png" in the "framework.apk"!
    This file is located in the /system/framework/framework-res.apk.Put the new pointer_arrow.png into the res/drawable-mdpi folder.

    You have to change the icon ( with the "TotalCommander" app) and than move the whole new framework.apk file with the "solid explorer" app into the system folder onto your X5/X7.
    Solid Explorer because all other fileexplorer failed! (root-permission???!!!)

    Attention:
    After finishing your changes don’t forget to...
    ...set the UID and GID of "framework.apk" to "0 - root"
    ...set the r/w privilegs of "framework.apk" to "owner" = "rwx" and * "group / world" to "r" only

    After the next reboot you get your new cursor. Yeah! tha’s it!!!
    On this way YOU can change your shown icon by yourself!!!

    BTW: Is there a way to hide the pointer during playback or streaming?

    Move it off to the right hand side of the screen until it disappears? Believe me, the current cursor is a big improvement over the previous one.
