Hi. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
I'm looking for a way to emulate a single touch with an earphone button to be able to select and re-center in the youtube app
while in cardboard mode. I have a VR headset but
it lacks any way to give a signal to the phone without
removing it from the headset. I think the easiest way to
accomplish it is using the media button on my earphones
but for some reason the phone stops receiving any input
from them as soon as I start the Cardboard view. I've been
able to emulate touch outside of the app with Vol- but no
luck once the app is put into said mode.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - Rooted
F/W: Android 5.0.1 stock
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post just wanted to
give a reasonably detailed post of the issue.
Hello,
today I would like to introduce application called MtcdMirroring. MtcdMirroring allows you to mirror and control your Android device by the Head Unit touchscreen.
Application is available on the Google Play Store: link
Application is an alternative to the Easyconnected app, but much more lightweigh and with support of the newest Android releases (Nougat). Right now application can mirror only Android devices.
Features:
* Realtime streaming of touch events allows you to control your Android device by a Head Unit touchscreen.
* Realtime streaming of your Android device screen.
* Forwarding of the Head Unit key presses and Steering Wheel key presses to your Android device (You can install MtcdTools on your Phone and control it like the Head Unit).
* Automatic streaming of the audio over Bluetooth A2DP.

How to use it?
1. Enable USB Debugging in developer settings on your Android device.
! Owners of Xiaomi devices must enable "USB debugging (Security Settings) as well.2. Connect your Android device to the Head Unit via USB cable.
3. Accept "Allow USB debugging" when your Android device will prompt you
4. Click Connect to the device to start mirroring your Android device.
5. Explore Application Settings to customize your instance of the application.

great work as always!! i will certainly try it
Could you please share the apk here?
Great i was looking for an alternativ app.
Waiting for it to work with iOS devices.
Really slick and fast. Does not work properly on my Samsung s7 edge tho. If my screen is set to HD the mirrored image is a small section in top left. I have to go Quad HD, to get the screen to be mirrored and fill the screen but then the touch response is way off. I touch the screen and it presses about 2 cm's away

Could you please take a picture how does it look in case of HD? I could not test the app on all devices but maybe I will be able to fix it.
Edit: I think I know where the problem is. It looks like S7 has different aspect ratio than the HU. Tommorow or at Saturday I will try to prepare a fix.
Android 4 support?
I'm guessing head unit must be Android 5+? Shame if so as I think most head units on market are still 4+. Anything stopping support for v4 devices?

Yes, HU must be at least Android 5 (Lollipop). Lollipop introduced alot improvements for the codecs which are used in MtcdMirroring so I decided to limit it to API 21 and higher.

Attached pictures. Only WQHD (2560 x 1440) filled the entire screen but touch screen is way way off on all resolutions.
Thanks!
@Dec64, thank you very much for the pictures.
Also three short questions:
1. Could you please post here info about your HU (MTCD,MCU).
2. Resolution (1024x600,greater or smaller?) and screen size (7 inches, 10 inches)
3. In case of QHD, have you observed any touch malfunctions?
Thanks in advance.

It must be installed on the Head Unit.
I'm unable to use the software.
Head Unit: PX5 8-core A53 Cortex @ 1.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage with KGL MCU
Phone: Nexus 6P with PureNexus ROM
I'm connecting my phone via one of the rear-mounted USB ports on the head unit (which appear to be USB host ports, rather than the OTG port on the front). When I connect and start your application, I'm able to connect briefly, getting a screen capture from my phone. However, within a fraction of a second, I get a message saying that the connection has been lost. Sometimes I am able to exit the application, but sometimes the entire system hangs. I do have Xposed installed, but the only plugin I'm running is AppSettings, and I don't have any settings configured for your application.
Is there anything you can suggest?
Great replacement for Easyconnected..
However it doesn't work on my case though. Screen cast fine, but touching is way off.
My HU has 1024x600 resolution, and my phone has 1920x1080.
Plus, if you can force the screen of the mobile to be landscape, it would be awesome
It did not work properly. Could you advise me anything?
Phone:XperiaZ4(marshmallow)
HU: Joying MTCB(RK3188-1024)
Thanks

It looks like a problem with the USB connection. Have you tried to connect the phone with different USB cable? Also maybe your phone needs more current than USB port can deliver. In developer you should be able to change USB connection type. By default it is MTP connection - try to change it to something like "charge only" and test.

Today I will post the update with some improvements of touchscreen size detection. I will let you know.

It is possible but it is quite risky . In case of any USB connection interruption MtcdMirroring would not be able to "undo" such settings and you would stay with the forced landscape orientation. I think you can try to find an application on the Play store which can force the screen orientation.
Someone Can share the apk?

@Dec64 @slumpz version 1.1.0 with improvements for detection of touchscreen resolution is now available on Google Play Store. Please check wheter the issues with touchscreen and hangup have been fixed and share the feedback. Thanks!
Is anyone else having trouble casting Netflix from their Pixel 3? I can cast YouTube and Google Play fine. Hulu usually works, and if it doesn't, I can close the app, relaunch it, and that fixes the problem. But Netflix will not give me the option to cast. If I do not have my tablet handy, I have to find what I want to watch on the Pixel 3, then ask my Google Home to play it for me. Pretty frustrating, especially if I am trying to watch a specific episode that may not be the next one up for that show. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I've looked around on Google, but I've seen nothing but generic responses, like "make sure you are connected to the correct wifi." I am definitely connected to the correct wifi, because I can cast from the other apps, and I can see and connect to my chromecast in the Home app.
I think there's a bug in the Netflix app. I don't have the Cast FAB anymore when I open it. I just start playing it on my phone and then start casting from there.

You get the cast icon once you start playing the video? I will try that when I get home. I thought I had tried that, but it's worth another shot.

Yeah if you tap the screen it shows up at the top like you'd see in YouTube or similar when the video is already playing. It's mildly annoying because if you don't do it quick enough you might have to back up the show a few seconds but it works. I believe it to be an app issue because the same thing has happened to my fiancee who is using a Pixel 2 and it happens to me on my 3 XL.
Netflix
I have the same problem on my Pixel 3 XL. I have to open the Netflix app, start the show, hit the screencast icon, then it just freezes. So I have to close the app, clear it from memory (swiping up from the recent apps screen), then reopen Netflix. After that it works. But I have to go through this procedure every single time I want to watch Netflix. What gives? How can companies as big and successful as Netflix and Google not be able to make an app work with basic functionality?
I have the same issue with every device at home (pixel 3, huawei p10 and Moto X Play). Hope it'll get fixed soon...
Hi guys !
Got an iPega 9023 controller which I use on a daily basis in call of duty.
Connecting and setting up the controller through their app (ShootingPlusV3) and mapping the gamepads buttons on a screen overlay is fairly simple & straightforward and I am able to use the controller as intended.
BUT the problems start when I connect my phone (Huawei P30 Pro) either through a HDMI adapter or use the Wireless Projection mode to cast my screen to another device.
As soon as I cast my screen the overlay no longer matches the actual screen and appears to be tilted at 90⁰.
I even tried using another app that could enable me to set the rotation system wide, but the problem persists.
I have attached some screenshots for a better understanding of the issue.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am pretty sure I am not the only one encountering this problem and would love to be able to use it while casting on a big screen.
Hello developers
So far I hadn't a reason to use Alexa or Google Assistant. As Motorcycler and owner of a new SENA 50R, which supports Headset-Speech-Commands ("Hi Sena" and "Hi Google") I found this technology after all practical. Especially on a motorbike where you can't touch a smartphone because this is in a tank bag and you wear gloves. But I have the same problem as many others here. As soon the display is turn off, then Google Assistant is no more responding. I tried to disable energy saver for this app, create a profile (which automatically trigger at connect with the headset) with disabled lock screen. Nothing helps. (the option "allow Bluetooth requests with device locked" is enabled). Apparently this has worked in the past.
What the hell make this for a sense. Why should I use speech commands if I have to press a key that the phone is at least at lock screen!???
Should this fix google itself or could the Lineage-Team correct this behaviour?
Thanks
Now I just tried it on a Samsung Galaxy S20 with Stock ROM. It works right away. Could it be a hardware restriction? (I'm using a Galaxy S6)
