Well, since the developer is busy at the moment, can anyone confirm this works flawlessly with a Verizon Nexus 6P? I'd be utilizing it with Miracast, for what it's worth. The 6P is what I'd move onto if this doesn't work with the LG G3 anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] stargate125645:
Well, I seem to have gotten it to work with Miracast. Perhaps something about having it plugged in via SlimPort messes SecondScreen up. Hopefully it's not the Bluetooth connection... I'll know more in a couple days, but it sure would be nice to be able to do this with a wired connection again.

Edit: I take it back. It seems to have issues when dealing with the serial BT connection. The screen off works until I connect with my AppRadio. It's fine if I do streaming in my house.

Are there way to restore default screen settings (without factory reset)?

I have SecondScreen on my galaxy note4 and I made dpi too low...

Now note4 don't work.

TouchWiz stop to work during load process (I get message 'app stopped' or so).

All I can do is press power button and chose "turn off".

update:

it is fixed by fresh 5.1.1. over 5.0.1.
[Android Apps and Games] donjoe0:
Same for me on an HTC One (M7) running CM 12.1: backlight stays off for a random number of seconds but then turns back on, even as the SecondScreen profile is still active. Then I can only turn it back off by disabling and re-enabling the profile or by doing Backlight-TurnOn and Backlight-TurnOff from Quick Actions (SecondScreen seems to think the backlight is still off, so it will only turn it off again after you've given it some reason to believe it's gone back to being on first, that's why I think it takes an on-off sequence or a toggle-off or it might work with toggle-toggle as well).

Additionally, the popup warning that always shows when I unplug my cable while a profile is active is causing me some annoyance, as my MHL setup only wants to work if I plug the cable in _after_ starting a video or game, not before, so this forces me to do a lot of plugging and unplugging and that damned warning popup (which I can't disable) stops my video playback and takes me back to square one. The only workaround is to move very fast or to start the video blindly, while the profile is already on (backlight already off) but the cable isn't plugged in yet so I have no image on either screen yet. *sigh*
[Android Apps and Games] arth_d:
Hi I just downloaded your app and its working great. I use it to connect to my PC monitor with bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I was just wondering if there was anyway of arranging the icons on my desktop while connected through MHL in landscape mode 1920 x 1080 with default monitor dpi. Without having them move my icons off the screen when I disconnect and change back to normal phone mode?
[Android Apps and Games] segfaultex:
The display disconnected message really needs an option to disable. It messes with automation if whatever display you are connected to can disconnect at different times.

Problem on Galaxy S8

Good app, but I have a problem on my Galaxy S8, After unpluging HDMI cable it not revert screen settings corectly. I'm using FHD+ and 411dpi, but Second Sreen revert it to WQHD+ and standart DPI.
[Android Apps and Games] inaciopestana:
[MENTION=4289533]farmerbb[/MENTION], your app is the best! Use pretty much everyday. One sugestion to make it perfect: on smartphones with OLED screen running nougat, you can turn screen completely off simply by put red, blue and green colors to a minimum (on nougat, its under Screen - > LiveDisplay -> color calibration). It would be awsome if your app can set the colors intensity to a minimum automacticaly (everytime I run the app, I have to do this manually). It saves A LOT OF battery on my phone (I use a Galaxy s5 with LineageOS 14.1).

Thx again for the app and sorry for my english.

I was looking for it a long like! Amazing app! Thank you very much! I use it with miracast without any problems. Mi5, aosp 7.

Cheers!

Edit: one bug found. When turn off backlight and weave to turn it on notification toggle doesn't change. Step by step:

I want to turn blacklight off so using toggle notification

I want to turn blacklight on so waving hand

I want turn blacklight off again but notification toggle is "ON" so after clicking it nothing happen (because light is on) and have to click notification toggle again (it's "off" now) to turn backlight off.

My point is notification toggle should change after waving hand front of phone...

Hope you know what I mean ;)

SecondScreen is supposed to disable auto-brightness while it's running, so it won't watch for brightness changes by waving your hand in front of the phone if you've manually re-enabled auto-brightness. It's best to let SecondScreen handle changing any phone settings itself - there's a Quick Actions toggle for turning backlight on/off if needed.
[Android Apps and Games] farmerbb:
Right now, SecondScreen assumes that you normally use your device with its default resolution and DPI settings. Of course, recent Samsung phones allow you to override this. I do want to include a feature in the future that lets you specify to SecondScreen what your default resolution and DPI should be when it's not running, so stay tuned :)
[Android Apps and Games] farmerbb:
Do you happen to know the sysfs values that those color calibration values correspond to? If so, I can add this functionality in a future update.
[Android Apps and Games] farmerbb:
Glad you're enjoying the app :) The Bluetooth A2DP issue is something unrelated to SecondScreen, unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
thanks for the response,but with good luck I confirmed that I can afterwards can stream any video that plays to my tv,through tv's embeded bluetooth sound share function [emoji6]
[Android Apps and Games] fire_of_mind:
I didn't talk about brightness. My point wasn't brightness toggle at all just about on/off screen backlight toggle... I meant "button of notification" second screen. In app options I can set button for notification as on/off backlight.

After turn backlight "on" by waving hand the notification button doesn't change and it's saying "turn on" so if I want turn again backlight "off" I have to press that notification button twice: first to turn backlight on (but it's already ON because I had wave!) second to turn backlight "off"... Sorry can't describe it more clear :(

i found ways using tasker to automatically change the DPI back to what i wanted on my note 8. i was using second screen daily with the appradio to change the resolution and DPI when connecting. it made things so much better when dealing with the 18:9 non standard display of the note 8 that many new phones today are using. the problem i ran into was that when you do change the DPI when casting your phone screen - for some reason there are new changes in google assistant that when you change the DPI and resolution to what i needed it would no longer think you were using a phone. you would get errors like "sorry, i don't have the ability to send text messages yet" "sorry, i can't make a phone call yet" so the app was thinking it was a tablet i guess. i have to use google assistant a bunch in the car to send texts with my voice and open apps so now i'm stuck not using second screen and having to live with a picture covering 3/4 of the screen.

Awesome app, been using it for a couple years now since the LG V10/V20.

Whats the chance you could make a side app that only turns off the back light? I have the Razer phone and no matter what settings I use the display goes hay-wire after turning off second screen. I only use it to shut off the display when I have it docked.

Hi.

Which is the adb command for non rooted devices? Which functions will be available with this method?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] farmerbb:
The command is:

adb shell pm grant com.farmerbb.secondscreen.free android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

All functions are available in non-root mode, except for the following:

* Chrome desktop mode

* Backlight off (although the backlight will still dim)

* Vibration off

* HDMI output rotation

* Show touches

* Force show navigation bar for CyanogenMod / LineageOS
[Android Apps and Games] Pantumaca:
Much appreciated.

I did some tests changing the dp (under developer settings in Oreo) and I found that 1200dp and text in small size is almost the same that changing DPI.

Do you agree?

With that values, chrome, Gmail, outlook and other apps change to tablet mode. Really useful.

That settings is in a 2k display with 536dpi (htc u11).

[Android Apps and Games] therealmarv:
I have a problem. So I've upgraded my Nokia 7 Plus (it has a 21:9 native display) to Android 9 Pie (stable). I've activated Chromecast and used Secondscreen for correction.

After reboot of my Nokia 7 Plus I have now a permanent change of resolution and have black bars on top and bottom!

How can I undo that? I never deactivated safe mode or used root etc.

Manual instructions welcome, especially for undoing. Was this app ever tested with Android 9?

Update: I tried to reinstall the last OTA for my device but this did not worked (it's also non rootable afaik). So my workaround is to start and stop secondscreen everytime I reboot. :(
[Android Apps and Games] farmerbb:
You can manually undo the resolution/density change by running the following adb commands:

adb shell wm size reset
adb shell wm density reset

The app is tested on Android 9 Pie, so I'm not sure why the resolution and density wouldn't have reverted itself after a reboot, especially since you've left safe mode on. I'll look into it and see if I can reproduce.

Did you happen to uninstall the SecondScreen app while the profile was still active? If so, then the app wouldn't have ever had a chance to revert the settings, so it's important to stop SecondScreen before uninstalling the app.
[Android Apps and Games] therealmarv:
Hi,

I also got this advices on another forum entry. This fixes the issue after reboot and I think the workaround (start secondscreen and stop secondscreen) is also okay. Nevertheless when I restart device I got again a 16:9 display with black bars on top and bottom. I also tried to uncheck safe mode and set all entries to physical sizes of my phone... no difference.

I have one guess... don't know if it is right or not. Could it be that Nokia adopted an internal ROM for 16:9 displays to Nokia 7 Plus 21:9 display and sets on boot forced the 21:9 physical screen resolution? And because I used SecondScreen this kind of forced workaround from Nokia got removed? I also never had this issues on Oreo on the same phone. But this is all me thinking out loud.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
This happened to me on my Essential PH-1 on Pie today. I was trying to create a profile to fit properly on a TV and using trial and error to find the right adjustments (still haven't gotten there). But when I ended the profile I was trying to build, I found my phone display a bit off. It fit fine width/height, but I had an extra row on my home screen and icons were a bit smaller. I tried manually adjusting the dpi/resolution, I tried changing it via Android Settings -> Display Settings -> Display Size and going back to Default, but neither worked. Next I tried re-installing the OS (didn't do a full wipe) and that still didn't work.

I just found this post, discovering the ADB commands you recommended and this still didn't restore my home screen. Any other ideas?

Edit: I'm not entirely sure if there is a problem or not anymore... Comparing to a screenshot I had taken a while ago, it appears I have an extra row after messing with Second Screen. I use a large widget at the top of my main home screen and a few app icons under it. I was able to resize the widget to fit the extra row. Just not entirely sure what's going on... Was my widget shrunk somehow? Or did I gain a row? Either way, resizing it is "working" but if this isn't normal, please take note.
[Android Apps and Games] therealmarv:
do a full wipe. I'm pretty sure something changed on Android Pie and this app can make things permament wrong (even in safe mode). You also have a notch so I suppose that is something else which got overwritten maybe?!
[Android Apps and Games] farmerbb:
I also have the Essential PH-1 and this is something I haven't run into myself. I'll continue to test and see what's going on.

You may want to try clearing app data on your launcher to see if that fixes it. You'd have to re-set up your home screen layouts again but at least it's not as drastic as doing a full factory reset.

Do other apps look off to you or is it just the launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
I'm starting to think my widget just got resized. Everything else looks OK. Would you be able to confirm how many rows there should be on the stock launcher? That'll confirm it.

Anyone have an idea what is the best choice for setting up Oneplus 6T mirror screen to Appradio 3 (da110).

I had OP5 and it mirror perfectly, but now using new 6T it looks terrible. Whatever I picked it is not full screen on appradio, and not sharp picture as with OP5.

OP6T - 1080 x 2340 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~402 ppi density)

OP5 - 1080 x 1920 pixels, 16:9 ratio (~401 ppi density)

Appradio3 - WVGA (800x480)
[Android Apps and Games] astracd:
Question... I finally found the way to get the screen perfect. But there is problem that app itself goes horizontal but screen is still portrait. So then touch screen on Appradio si totally out.

No matter what I choose in the app under screen orientation.

Device: Oneplus 6T - Android 9.0

HU: Pioneer DA-110

Miracast device: Microsoft miracast

Apps that you want to run full screen need to go settings - display - app display in fullscreen - change all apps you use for mirror screen to appradio to fullscreen mode

Settings buttons & gestures - navigation bar & gestures - change to Navigation gestures

in second screen app I picked "appradio"

Resolution 1920x1080 (1080p), Density: 400dpi

Bluetooth on, wifi on, reduce vibration, reduce backlight, show touches,

Screen orientation I tried all options, but as mentioned above app gets locked horizontal but screen is still portrait and that is issue for touch screen on the pionner.

Is there a way to get app running horizontal on complete screen instead in middle of portrait screen.

Hello [MENTION=4289533]farmerbb[/MENTION], I'm using a Poco F1 and noticed your approach for making notch phones compatibles with the app may not be the best as it leaves the screen in landscape mode but locked in the screen physical portrait view, you might find something useful and a lot better way to treat notched phones with this method by [MENTION=9554956]zigafide[/MENTION] https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/themes/magisk-module-notch-killer-ignore-t3894060

I am experiencing the same issues, my phone (oneplus 7, with A B partitions, android 9 ) is now bricked, i have access to twrp recovery, could you please help me to unbrick it?

In TWRP I've tried on terminal the commands:

adb shell wm size reset

adb shell wm density reset

wm size reset

wm density reset

but they don't work: "sh: wm: not found"

The touch screen doesn't work anymore outside twrp.

Even after the reboot nothing changed.

Please add a warning or something in your app because is bricking our phones

What I've done:

- Installed second screen from google play

- connected on my wireless display

- granted root permisions from magisk manager and permissions to draw on other apps from phone settings plus another one which I don't remember what it supposed to grant

- Then I've set the second screen to mirror my phone to 4K resolution

- touch screen became unresponisve

- i've rebooted the phone (volume up+power keys)

- the touch screen is stil unresponsive, the dpi is still to high (the text is small)

I've received a few reports that this is bricking newer devices.

I've reached out to the OP, [MENTION=4289533]farmerbb[/MENTION] and have also added a disclaimer to the OP of the thread.

Do remember to follow relevant backup procedures before modifying your device; a full backup image of the device is best practice, at the very least backup your system partitions.

This will allow you to restore your OS to a previously un-modified state.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] farmerbb:
Thank you for the reports of certain resolution / density changes rendering device touchscreens partially unusable.

I'm able to reproduce the issue myself. It looks like the issue occurs to some extent when using resolutions above 1080p (including 4K). The issue appears to be more prominent when using the notch compatibility mode.

Unfortunately, since this is an Android OS issue, there's not really much I can do on my end other than releasing an update that removes the ability to select resolutions above 1080p. I'll work on getting this update out as soon as I can.

I'd also like to mention that SecondScreen comes with a "safe mode" that's enabled by default, which will reset any resolution or density changes upon device reboot. I highly recommend leaving that option on and to not disable it unless you know how to reset the resolution / density yourself via adb.
