Description

SecondScreen is an application designed for power users that frequently connect their Android devices to external displays. It works with your existing screen mirroring solution to give you the best experience possible. With SecondScreen, you can change your device's resolution and density to fit your TV or monitor, enable always-on desktop mode in Chrome, and even turn your device's backlight off, among several other features.

PLEASE READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING:
• This app REQUIRES elevated permissions, granted via root access or adb shell commands. The app will do nothing if you do not have a rooted device or access to adb.
• This app is ONLY for devices with AOSP / Google experience ROMs. It is not guaranteed to function properly on devices with manufacturer-skinned ROMs.
• This app does not provide screen mirroring capabilities on its own. Screen mirroring may require either an MHL/SlimPort adapter or a wireless solution such as Miracast or Chromecast.
• A Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is strongly recommended as the app can make UI elements smaller and harder to press on the device itself.

Features:
• Easily change resolution and density (DPI) - take full advantage of the resolution of your external display, and show the Android tablet interface if you're using a phone
• Simple profile-based interface - easy to enable/disable different profiles for different types of displays
• Many configurable options, including:
• Automatically enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi - quickly connect a keyboard, mouse, and/or game controller
• Automatically enable Daydreams
• Show desktop sites in Chrome by default - browse the real Web, on your TV!
• Lock 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 - save battery while your device is connected (not compatible with all devices)
• Full integration with Tasker
• Load profiles automatically when a display is connected
• Quick Actions - quickly and easily run SecondScreen features without creating or editing profiles
• Homescreen shortcuts - launch a profile with one tap, without entering the app

Explanation of permissions:
• root access or adb shell commands required to change resolution/DPI, disable backlight/vibration, enable desktop-only mode in Chrome
• "connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi", "view Wi-Fi connections" - required for profiles to enable Wi-Fi
• "access Bluetooth settings", "pair with Bluetooth devices" - required for profiles to enable Bluetooth
• "close other apps" - required to refresh the user interface after a resolution/DPI change. Ensure all data is saved before launching a profile.
• "run at startup" - required to show SecondScreen profile notification after a (soft/hard) reboot
• "modify system settings" - required for profiles to lock rotation and set brightness

This app uses the Device Administrator permission.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

4 ★Hello guys. Nice app! One problem that i found. After turning off a profile, the orientation rotation is not set back to the system setting. For example if i have the portrait orientation lock ON, it will ignore that setting

3 ★Works great.. Until it freezes. It works flawlessly for a couple minutes, but then it freezes. Unplugging / Replugging the OTG cable fixes the issue, but its a bit of a pain.. Used on a OnePlus6

2 ★Do not turn on notch compatibility mode! Touch screen gets unresponsive and couldn't find a way to turn off the app. Had to use vysor to access the phone through adb and turn off the app.

4 ★Thanks for the persistent notification thing. But still sometimes Tasker can't trigger it. Also sometimes screen locks in landscape mode permanently.

5 ★Love it, does what it says perfectly, makes casting really immersive, great app

5 ★Exactly what i needed, works perfectly on a non rooted tablet after running command with adb. Sorted out display issue when connected via hdmi.😀

4 ★Works as intended, got some bugs tho, in miui can't revert to original screen resolution if using wrong settings. Definitely not for casual user.

5 ★Nice app, just the one i was looking for. Works great especially when you want to mirror screen keeping backlight off.

5 ★If you have issues, reboot and try again! Loving a proper desktop experience with my Moto G5+.

5 ★Still a lot of bugs such as it disables the phone encryption. 5 stars for being unique.

5 ★This is exactly what i was looking for..it worked perfectly..Those who gave it bad rating seem does not understand the app, and how it works..thumbs up to the developer..

4 ★Its a great app actually but would be perfect if the app could off the background lights without rooting the device (vlc player does)
