Zeemote use the mouse cursor on ics?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What version of BluezIME are you using?
1.14

What Android device do you have? What Android version?
HTC Sensation (EUR version) With ICS 4.0.3.
What gamepad are you using?
Zeemote
What steps will reproduce the problem?
I saw at key mapping the btn mouse option; i thought it would enable the mouse 
cursor on ics but it does''nt... Is it supported ? because i saw other joypads 
work with the mouse cursor?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
That i can use my Zeemote as a mouse for android.

Please provide any additional information below.

I really hope u can help Greets Robin

The problem is that Android has a way for sending key presses, but not for 
sending mouse movements.
What app can use the joypad as a mouse cursor?

I have found that Android blocks all attempts to send keypresses and cursor 
movements. There is a special permission that an app must have to send them, 
but Android ignores it, so only apps running with root permission (or those 
installed by the ROM) can request those permissions.

If you know how to write some code, you can write a mini server that is 
executed as root, and then redirect data from BluezIME to the root-enabled app 
and have it send mouse movements (and other goodies).

Thats sounds like a good idea but unfortunately not... I only did some flash 
and java in school but stopped there ... :P 

My phone is rooted though so it should be possible. Maybe you guys could 
intergrate it in the program i think alot of ppl would be pleased :D also great 
for in use with the mhl HD adapter. but i'm sry no code writing for me...

Yeah, but I am just one guy, and I do this for fun.
But I have so many projects that I work on, that I have to prioritize, and this 
is not a fun priority for me right now.
If you can coax someone into working one it, I'd be happy to throw some hints.
