  • IMPORTANT: BEFORE DOWNLOADING, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
  • This app requires elevated permissions, which can be granted through root access or adb shell commands. If you don't have a rooted device or access to adb, this app will not function.
  • This app is only compatible with devices running AOSP / Google experience ROMs. It may not work effectively on devices with manufacturer-skinned ROMs.
  • This app does not provide screen mirroring capabilities on its own. Screen mirroring may require additional hardware or wireless solutions like MHL/SlimPort adapters, Miracast, or Chromecast.
  • It is strongly recommended to use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with this app as it may make UI elements smaller and harder to navigate on the device itself.

Key Features:

  • Easily change resolution and density (DPI) to optimize display output and even switch to the tablet interface on smartphones.
  • Simple profile-based interface for enabling/disabling different profiles for different display types.
  • Multiple configurable options, including:
    • Automatically enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for quick connectivity with keyboards, mice, and game controllers.
    • Automatic activation of Daydreams.
    • Default desktop site view in Chrome for a full web browsing experience on your TV.
    • Lock the screen orientation to landscape.
    • Overscan support for older TVs (Android 4.3+).
    • System-wide immersive mode (Android 5.0+).
    • Disable device backlight and/or vibration to conserve battery while connected (not compatible with all devices).
  • Seamless integration with Tasker.
  • Automatic profile loading when a display is connected.
  • Quick Actions allow for the easy execution of SecondScreen features without the need to create or edit profiles.
  • Homescreen shortcuts make launching profiles as simple as a single tap, without needing to open the app.

Explanation of Permissions:

  • Root access or adb shell commands are required to change resolution/DPI, disable backlight/vibration, and enable desktop-only mode in Chrome.
  • "Connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi" and "View Wi-Fi connections" permissions are necessary for profiles to enable Wi-Fi.
  • "Access Bluetooth settings" and "Pair with Bluetooth devices" permissions are required for profiles to enable Bluetooth.
  • "Close other apps" permission is necessary to refresh the user interface after a resolution/DPI change. Please ensure all data is saved before launching a profile.
  • "Run at startup" permission is required to display SecondScreen profile notifications after a reboot.
  • "Modify system settings" permission is necessary for profiles to lock rotation and set brightness.

This app uses the Device Administrator permission.
