Hi Everyone
I need to mirror my Dasaita-PX5 Android8 screen to an external screen (only the video, no need for touch on the 2nd screen)
The idea is to have a second screen closer to the windshield / driver's line of sight. The second screen can be any HDMI screen, or another android device.
Anybody know of a good app to mirror screen? I was thinking of using a chromecast and "cast" the main screen but not so sure about delays / refresh rate. Also I understand PX5 has HDMI support, but I am not sure if the board provides the physical port.
Ideas? recommendations?

Hi friends, I have and old flytouch II and I would make it like smart TV/android box.
This PAD has an hdmi output but only show movie on TV (when I launch movieplayer I've to press home button and the PAD's screen become black and appear on TV)...
Is possible to make hdmi output the default view or I've to modify hardware inside?
thansk a lot
I'm surprised to learn that we must keep our eyes on the tablet while clumsily tapping even when the tablet is connected to a big display.
Instead of plugging a mouse into the touchpad (I guess that's the current workaround), why not turn the tablet into a touchpad when mirroring the display of the tablet on a large screen? With that setup, the tablet display wouldn't actually be mirrored, the big display would look like a desktop computer display with a pointer floating around on it. Also, the virtual touchpad on the tablet could be resizable so that you could simultaneously show a virtual keyboard (neither of which would show on the big display). Or there could be a spot on the tablet display tapped to switch between virtual keyboard and touchpad. Again, neither showing up on the big display.
Let me know if I'm not being clear enough. This has nothing to do with simply mirroring the tablet display to a monitor/TV, I know that can be done through MHL and HDMI stuff. Also, it has nothing to do with using the tablet as a touchpad for another computer. The only components are the tablet and the big display (monitor or TV).
And of course if it's already been done, please let me know.
The simplest of implementations...
The big display would mirror the tablet display. The tablet would show a tiny pointer. How small doesn't matter because you won't be looking at the tablet. The pointer location would correspond to the current pointer location as shown by "developer options" on anAndroid. That pointer would be driven by touch. That should be easy enough, the only difference is that a relative pointer position would be used instead of current finger point position.
Apparently 99% of the programming for this stuff is already done on Android tablets. Probably also on iPads or whatever. It would just need a GUI switch and to make a few tiny adjustments when connected to a monitor.

Anybody connect their tablet to a large monitor? Enjoy fumbling around on the tablet when you could be using precise pointer control? Think this might help for stuff like browsing?
Anybody?
Hi, my TV Box shows the image too moved to left. This problem arose for a hdmi to vga+audio converter (My tv doesn't have hdmi input) and the adjust screen option of the system isn't enough (still has a big black stripe on the right).
As you all know this phone got a quite good DAC and i want to use it as a HQ music player. Half of the screen is not receiving touches and randomly touching where i cant touch. So i need to disable half of the screen and keep it useful in some way. I think this can be fun but i dont know where to start modifiying (i got root, nothing more). Hope someone helps.
I think you can start working on it by connecting a cabled mouse through otg, then get creative. Which half of the screen is currently working?

Top half is working and i can touch the buttons on bottom but keyboard is in random touch area. Using mouse for screen is good but when screen starts touching randomly i cant do anything. Need to disable the bottom half but keep the display. Also using mouse on screen by touching can be great as i could still use bottom half but i really dont know how can i make that.
I don't think there is a way to disable half of the capacitive layer beneath the glass, set it up with your mouse, then control the player with a widget on the upper part of the screen.
Screen mirroring doesn't seem to work. It connects but it only shows my phone wallpaper.
Anybody figure it out?
Screen mirroring? As in you want your screen pop up on another external screen? Mine works normally using type c to portable and desktop monitor, touch doesn't work on the external screen though.
Although, there is desktop mode which is incomplete built into android 10. Which need to be enable through developer mode. Enable desktop and freeform. (Reboot) connect your external monitor, touch screen will be available if your screen support it. It's still not complete though.
If you interested you could install taskbar by farmerbb, its a start/launcher for the desktop mode, it's good, though not as good as (or complete) Dex and Emui desktop.
I mean screen mirroring to the TV
