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

Hello, I have a Android 2.2 tablet and I suspect the screen is installed (by design) "upside down". The tablet has a G-Sensor and the screen rotates exactly as it should, but some applications that default to portrait mode (Nook, Sketchbook Mobile Pro, etc) get locked into what would be "upside down" on the tablet.
Is there any way to hack the internals of the tablet to get it to consider the opposite direction to be portrait mode, instead if the current way? I could see this being a setting in a config file, or I could imagine its compiled in, which would be problematic.
I do have root access and I'm comfortable with adb, I just need to know where to look.
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 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,
I'm on beta 4 and I've noticed that Desktop Mode can be enabled on the developer settings.
After enabling it, mirroring the screen on a Chromecast device opens Desktop Mode, but after that, using a mouse makes the cursor show up on the phone and not on the external screen, as it should.
Is there any way for Desktop Mode to actually work?

Ever find out the answer to this? I know USB-C to HDMI does work with mirroring with a displaylink certified adapter...
I am using a Samsung tablet to broadcast contents (through screen mirror) on big screens to the audience, and whenever I want to switch between contents, I have to pause the screen mirroring, then I get this generic screen which I need to change to something related to our company (i.e.: Company logo, etc..) is this possible?
Thank you
