Adam Honse<p>My Touchpad Emulator project is now in the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlpineLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlpineLinux</span></a> testing repository! My merge request got merged this morning and I was able to install it on my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/postmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postmarketOS</span></a> edge devices! The package name is touchpad-emulator. It turns the touchscreen into a trackpad style mouse to make desktop UIs easier to use on a touch-only mobile device.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TouchpadEmulator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TouchpadEmulator</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LinuxMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMobile</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MobileLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MobileLinux</span></a></p>
Adam Honse<p>Nexus 5 (lg-hammerhead) joins the group again after reflashing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/postmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postmarketOS</span></a> on it. I set all these up to make sure <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TouchpadEmulator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TouchpadEmulator</span></a> autostart works with screen rotation on all of them. I released a new version with minor changes to get this working and updated my Alpine merge request.</p>
Adam Honse<p>I submitted a merge request to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlpineLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlpineLinux</span></a> aports to get <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TouchpadEmulator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TouchpadEmulator</span></a> added. This program allows touchscreen devices to control a mouse cursor for easier use with desktop-oriented user interfaces.

Adam Honse<p>Just pushed an update to my Touchpad Emulator for Linux phones running <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/postmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postmarketOS</span></a>. Added a udev rule and modules-load file to set up the needed devices for the `input` group. Add your user to that group and you no longer need to enter your password. This also makes it seamless to have <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TouchpadEmulator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TouchpadEmulator</span></a> autostart on login! The program allows the touchscreen surface to be used as a laptop-style touchpad mouse, making desktop apps easier to use on small screens.</p><p><a href="https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/TouchpadEmulator" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/Tou</span><span class="invisible">chpadEmulator</span></a></p>
