[jagan2]

Just installed it on an old Nook HD+ running an experimental(not mine) Nougat ROM and so far it seems to work great. Will play with it for a bit and let you know how it works in the long run

Any feedback?

Works with cm14 (unofficial) on my HTC desire 816

Great to hear that.

wow this has potential!!! and I was reading the instructions when I didn't read the magic word "ROOT", I was like wow!!!

Ha!

Oh my RAM..

What happened to your RAM? The App shouldn't consume any RAM when it's not being actively used.

I personally love the multitask is displayed on charts

Could you please rephrase your feedback, I am unable to understand.

@jagan2 Great work with the app. Enjoying using it everyday since I moved to Nougat a few days back on my Oneplus One.
Also, you said that you test the app on an emulator so I wanted to tell you that if you need someone to test something on an actual device, I will be there to help.

Thanks again for the app

Thank you! Please inbox me your email address.

@jagan2 Apk is crashing every time, screenshots will be added later. I am using AOSP 7(Custom-Molten Mother Board)

More details please? What's the actual point of crash?

can this will work on AOSP Nougat 7.0 | MoltenMotherBoard my device is HERE

No updates from OP

Did you get a chance to try it on your device?

Also, currently am working on pushing a critical update to my other App, Energy Bar, that combined with a lack of physical device with Nougat has to do with the delay in updates. But you can certainly expect updates over time.

Can we have the option to move the hotspot and the option to display where it is at all times, like Samsung's edge hotspot? Also, the option to only open the sidebar when recent apps is open

For 24 sdk N
if ever can be port to MM that would be great

 

[Krypt]

Running 7.1.1 beta on my n6p. Seems like the mirror function broke in this version. Can't open 2 whatsapp, telegram or any other app

Forget about that.. Just now it started working again.

Really love this app!! Been using it for awhile now and decided to feature it in a video on my channel so more people can know about it.

Keep up the great work!!

Nice work! It works fine on my Nexus 5X. I used it for a few minutes. But I don't understand how to choose on which side to open the new app from the drawer while in split screen, I think it would be better if you can click to choose. And I don't see how to change the app in the first window. On my phone Chrome cannot be mirrored either.

Actually I came upon you App because I was also searching for a VR application.

Use case for the mirroring:
When being on the road there are several ways to improve productivity with an external keyboard for example. What if using any headset like cardboard VR with your phone and you can see a full desktop size and work with your phone on the road.

I also think that we can take a bigger advantage of the high resolution Smartphone screens. Unfortunately virtual reality is still under development and they are almost no apps for that. And it seems like Google is going to concentrate on daydream and leave devices like nexus behind.

So i also think that it would be awesome to have a simple app mirroring the same window in order to use virtual reality (for example with Google cardboard) with all the apps out there. It won't be a high performance solution but it is better than nothing. Atleast you wouldn't have to stare on a small smartphone screen and holding it all the time or sitting on a desk. Of course you would need some kind of input device to operate.

Nonetheless thanks for the app!

I saw the topic's header image and I was excited.
Then I saw what this app actually does and I was disappointed.

You might want to change the image to something that more closely resembles your app's function.

Recently got Nougat, so I tried this out. Got some suggestions to improve interaction:

* Create QS tiles and shortcuts (for Tasker, Pie Control etc) for the sidebar options - for those that don't want the overlay

* Mirror button should automatically mirror the upper app instead of asking me to pick an app

* Consider "integrating" (overlay toolbar) it to stock Recents view, I think that could be more useful and relevant than a sidebar.

Overall seems like this app has some potential, if development continues

This app is awesome!
@jagan2, if you have a Reddit account, I think you should try posting this on r/Android. Those people would love this!

Hi is there a way to get an ad free version of the app? The ad in the built in app drawer is bugging me to no end =\

Thanks

 

[ale5000]

@jagan2: Why it does use Google Play Services (and also GCM)?

Can we have a Google free app?

The hotspot placement configuration is indeed planned for some future version. And I am considering the appearance of sidebar only on recents app menu - have to figure out a place where it doesn't interrupt the recent apps screen.

Hi! MM doesn't officially support Multitasking, so I don't think it's worth adapting to the App when it's not standardized on MM.

Wow! That's amazing, I came across a couple of videos about the App, but yours demonstrated very well the Mirroring, thanks a lot! Keep subscribed to this thread, there will be some major updates in future.

You're welcome!

Ability to choose which side the new App launches would require a lot of workaround, will check the feasibility later.

And about VR, I am not able to visualize how mirroring would help. Could you please mention a specific use case with details?

Hi! What did you think the App does based on the App's Icon? The Icon is supposed to indicate running two instances of SAME app, parallel. Let me know your suggestions.

Thank you for the suggestions, and I do plan to continue development.

#1 QS tile would be nice indeed, but at the moment I want to create a standardized default way to access the tools (mirroring, launcher etc.) Tiles and other ways to access would be optional and additional based on an individual user preference. Want some standard way to represent the App's usage.

#2 Again it won't be a standard feature, for example on a tablet with multiple windows open, it would be hard to determine which window to mirror. Again, may be as an additional feature in future.

#3 I agree with that, infact I have thought about it way before the development began, but again 'standardization'. I can't find a suitable place to put the tools on recent Apps window - One Plus ROMs have clear all button at bottom, standard Android has at top, putting at either place may obstruct views, and then putting on side may ruin the look of the recent apps page, etc.

Still brainstorming on the idea.

This app is awesome!

I understand, please bare with this initial versions. There will be options soon.

They are used to run the Ads, and in future (MAY BE) to send remote configuration update, plus direct communication from the dev (me) as a notification in your phone. Cheers!

 

[ale5000]

@jagan2: I can understand Ads but I personally don't like "send remote configuration update" and "direct communication from the dev (me) as a notification in your phone".

Can you please add an option to disable them completely the latter two features and also the GCM integration?

Hi again! Right now, the App does NOT have the capability to neither accept remote configuration nor any notification, if it is added there will be option to disable. As of now, only Ads integration is present in the App, and if it implicitly added some Google Play Services then that would be part of it that I wouldn't be able to remove it. The App has no other function than to provide the tools, let me know if you have any specific concern that I may be able to address.

 

[ale5000]

@jagan2: Mainly I would like an option to avoid that the app register itself for push notifications.

PS: Thanks for your work.
