I connected my phone to an older monitor via slimport->hdmi->dvi. works great except the native resolution for the monitor is 1680x1050. so the image is scaled small on screen. I was able to change resolution via console "wm size" command so that it now fills the screen and changed the density so text is the appropriate size, but the notification bar, nav bar, and mouse pointer are huge taking up tons of real estate.
Wanted to know if anyone has a suggestion of an app that will make things fit better when i connect to the monitor and easily revert once I disconnect. I really like being able to use my phone as a mini computer that I can connect whenever I want.
Thanks in advance.

You can change the density of apps individually using xposed + "app settings" module. So you could lower the density further on systemui for example.

I bought the official SlimPort a couple months ago and it works great. As far as the picture fitting better, I use MX Player for all video. It has a ton of options for display size and other tweaks. Using a monitor is probably why you are having issues with display size. I have 1 newer HDTV and a 5 year old HDTV. I get 1080p with my SlimPort & MX Player. Does it have the same display issues on a TV?
NEXUS 5
Yeah works great on my TV but I have it connected to a monitor because I use it for homework and random emailing with a Bluetooth most and keyboard.
My ideal situation would be that when I connect it to the slimport it would automatically switch resolution and DPI to kind of a desktop mode.

Any other suggestions?

I agree, using the Nexus as a substitute for a computer like you describe is something I definitely would like to do too. Any advice regarding automatic switch of resolution and DPI would be greatly appreciated.
Still nothing. ?

Dpi system wide is controlled via the build prop so a reboot is required to apply it.
With root, i could easily write a Tasker task that will edit the build prop and reboot the device. Anything above that wouldn't be possible

Is there an app for this? The peel app requires internet connectioncto get the control working.
I was wondering if this is possible, so I can troll other's tvs without wifi in them. Thanks!
Samsung Remote by Touch Squid is the best application I found out there. It works very well but the UI isn't that pretty.

Peel requires internet connection at setup only, to download ir pattern data, afterwards u can use it freely (except if u add another device or reset the setting) it worked even on my old sony crt tv.

Does anybody know if there's a remote app with which you can add widgets with shortcuts? For example you press the widget and the tv switches to source HDMI4?
Just intersted to know if anyone else is using their tablet as a second monitor and what software / setup is being use and there general latency / experience is like. I use idisplay on both USB and wifi and performance is pretty good, refresh is high enough to watch web video but it crashes media player when I drag movies onto it, havent found out why that is yet.
I mainly use mine as a second monitor for use with Presonus Studio one, I sometimes drag the midi track or a vst synth onto it so I can twiddle the knobs with touch instead of my mouse.
I use splashtop 2 on mine to access my 2 monitors.

Hello,
Does someone know if it is possible to mirror my phones screen to my TV ?
Its a Samsung UE40F6400
It had WiFi, and its a smart TV.
When i duplicate screen under Display its connected, and then my TV says connection is stopped.
Running stock rom, Faux kernel 03B06
Anyone?
Same thing happens to me. I have a Sony Smart tv with miracast but I can't get my Nexus 5 or my Galaxy S3 to mirror. I'm getting frustrated.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Miracast is absolute utter garbage technology. Its seriously one of the ****tiest standards ever to grace mobile computing, mostly because there just is no standard. It can work with one device and then not work with another, even though everything is miracast enabled. Its probably not worth your time trying to figure out, because even when you do its frustratingly awful sometimes. I got it working finally on my nexus 4 and 7, but even when the phone or tablet was within a foot of the damn miracast receiver it would still lag and lose connection while playing video.

Its not that bad. with the latest drivers its actually pretty stable with everything I have thrown at it. note 8, yoga2, venue 8 pro, nexus 5 and gs4.
to answer the op samsung makes it so only samsung devices can mirror with their tvs. hopefully they change this soon but until then you need to buy a ptv3000 or similar.
What does it check, could it work if i change build.prop or something else?
Any developer know how to get allshare on Nexus 5?
Or how to fake my phone to connect it to the TV with wirekess display?
Still looking.
Anyone ?

My N5 miracasts perfectly with my Sony smart TV (Except sometimes it lags or freezes and I have to reconnect) but I do have to go into the specific 'Screen Mirror' input channel.
Have you tried going into the specific source for Mirroring? Not sure if this will be applicable to Samsung TV's though.

Ok, i would like to monitor my phone. I dont know what the best way to do this. I would like to set up a console through my computer. If necessary, i can use another monitor via micro-usb to hdmi.
honestly, any feedback would be much appreciated

Do you mean monitor as in always see the "systems health", or actually see the devices whole output on a larger screen?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I know how to get it to a larger screen, jus wondering if i could monitor the health i guess from another screen. Also if somebody could link me to a place where i could use my computer to control my phone/tablet. Unfortulently i have a verizon htc one.

Hi, was wondering if it's just me or this app doesn't work with nexus, tried setting individual settings for each screen but it's not working only shows that it needs to reload or setup. Any help appreciated or another way to get multiple wallpapers for each screen.
Thanks.
