Now you can add your own cursor from png-Add to the menu or try them, choose from 21 types (pointer_scroll, pointer_arrow etc) it took me hours to make that function

Boot animation+cursors 1.6 released​

  • Lightning gave me 4 cursors, ilhan gave one animation. It’s me who spent many hours making this, testing throughout, made the framework res patching etc.
Now it doesn’t replace whole system framework, it instead patch it with new cursor png so now it can change cursor in any Android x86, it’s size reduced from 120mb to 70mb.

Finally you can say goodbye to the black ugly cursor in stock android.

It took me hours testing and preparing for this new patching process.

  • How it works?
Changing boot animation
Changing boot animation is very easy, we just copy boot animation.zip to /system/media/boot animation.zip
Compression level must be store.
And we change permissions if it, if not you will get AOSP animation.
Run the following command with alt+f1 terminal

chmod 644 /system/media/*.zip

You may ask what is the star in the above command
Star is a wildcard, it will auto complete the name. So it will find and change permissions of all zip files in /system/media


Patching framework-res.apk to change cursors

In our gearlock extension, we make a copy of /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Then I load my cursor png files
After that we patch the framework-res.apk with our cursor files using 7 zip cli, a powerful cli tool
Then we copy the patched framework back to /system/framework/framework-res.apk, and change permissions to 644 with chmod command.
Then we restart the zygote, to load the new cursor, with stop; start command.

I hope you all enjoy the new cursors, they will give a gaming like feel to all Android x86 distros. Especially the hud series ported by me, I made 3 colors for it.
