Get an android logcat reader
Whatâs that?
A type of app that can read Androidâs logs.
Basically it tells you all the actions going on on the phone

Works great.
Can u post an app that could do that?
Thank you @sams-club, @Dev-in-the-BM, and @anonymousfliphones for the testing leading up to this.

Nice is the version you uploaded there different than the latest you uploaded here?
Still doesnât work when i restart my phone
I didnât get a chance to download your new release yet, but on your last prerelease version, a bunch of times the app would stop working.
The pointer and grid would show normally, but it wouldnât do anything.
This was on the Sonim Xp3plus, shizuku was running, and it had shizuku permission.
Each time I had to force stop it and clear its cache to get it working again.
(It could be just force stopping it or just clearing its cache wouldâve fixed things, Iâm not sure if I really needed to do both.)
No difference except some optimizations when the apk is created (for example, smaller file size).
I canât get to the bottom of this without adb logs. The release version has most of the logs stripped, but hereâs a debug version of the release if you are able to pull adb logs:
app-debug.apk (10.1 MB)
So far, since @Dev-in-the-BM and @anonymousfliphones are reporting this issue, the common denominator seems to be possibly Shizuku related. @sams-club do you get this same issue too where the app stops working after some time?
No but I donât use it that often since I have a touch screen I just enjoy testing itâŚ

If the overlay shows, it sounds like itâs an issue with dispatching the gesture. Is there any pattern that youâve noticed when it stops working (after a certain time period, after using certain apps, after a certain number of activate/deactivates, maybe quick button presses instead of slower button presses, etc.), or does it feel more random?
Does it stop working at any other time, or only when you restart?
I didnât notice any pattern, but I probably wasnât paying enough attention that Iâd notice if there is a less obvious pattern.
Iâll try to look out for any patterns, and Iâll also try to get logs of the issue.

The overlay still shows up and it only stops working when i restart my phone
Do you have other apps that might be interfering? I donât have an actual device and only have an emulator, but rebooting my emulator does not cause issues on my end.
The best way to solve this is to get adb logs.
Ill try when i get to my computer.
i just tried it on the kyocera e4810 and if i use the grid once i cant click or scroll after its running android 8.1
Thanks.
Also, if you all know others who can help test, the extra feedback would help a lot.
