Hello,
I am waiting for the new Oreo update for my Tab S3 T820. Currently running a Magisk rooted 7.1 version and I have Second Screen installed in order to change the resolution of the screen.
This is needed for mircast to my Microsoft WiFi Direct dongle so I can cast to the TV in 16:9 vs 4:3. I have not found a stock ay to do this resolution change.
Unfortunately rooting the device has caused some apps like my United and Delta video apps to stop working since it detects root and I can't find a way to hide it properly. Magisk hide doesn't work. I would like to get all my apps working properly but this would require a non-rooted device that allowed screen resolution changes.
Has anyone who has seen Oreo on the Tab S3 noticed if you can change the resolution nativly on it?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I'm one of the few people still rocking a Google TV and I can't take the stock Netflix app anymore. This is a specialized version of the Netflix app that does not allow "touch-screen" (AKA point-and-click) input and instead forces all navigation to be done with the arrow keys on an official TV remote (even external keyboards don't work)
I side-loaded the Netflix app from my Note II, but it always launches in portrait mode and won't reconfigure to widescreen until I select a title. So I'm assuming there is a different apk for tablet devices that will render everything in landscape from the start. Does anyone have such an apk that they would be willing to share?
Thanks!

Hi to all.
I've flashed my MDZ-16-AA with Android TV rom found somewhere on the Net.
Seems to work almost properly (netflix doesn't work but I don't care about it) except for the fact that i'm unable to use 4K resolution on my 4K TV.
Any advice ? Is possible to upgrade to Android TV 6 ? Currently I'm using Android TV 5.1
Can u share the rom and how to install it...i have the same mi box too and want to change to android tv
Google has rolled out Assistant support for tablet devices with the latest update. However there are certain RAM(>1.5 gb) and screen resolution (> 720p) constraints for enabling it.
Has anyone been able to run the assistant with lower screen resolutions ?I have a 1024x600 resolution device. I have been able to change the resolution with adb shell wm size to 1024x720 when connected to the device shell over wifi. This however, reduces the width of the screen and squeezes everything up even though Google Assistant starts working magically.
There must be a way to bypass the screen resolution check (WITH ROOT) or just fake it without actually changing the display . Have heard about Assistant Enabler on XPOSED but I'm scared I might brick my device with that unless someone has tested it already on it. Is there a better way ?
PS: Device is a Joying car entertainment unit (Intel Sofia) on android 6.0.1 .
Screen resolution 1228x720 seems to work good enough. I also changed the font size to huge
Google assistant on low res devices
Hi I'm Paul,
I AM DISABLED IN A WHEEL CHAIR I did have this running on a z80 full lollipop android watch and it worked great, for a whole year then the low res issue was installed on updates. This no longer works so I am also looking for a solution, for my new q1 pro watch running marshmallow.
please let me know how you resolve this if you can thank you, as I am wheel chair bound and the assistant on my wrist watch was invaluable.
Kind regards
Paul.

Though Reno 10 X has wi fi direct, multi screen interaction and DLNA it was not detecting my TV powered by Mi BOX3. I have tried many screen mirroring apps but nothing worked perfectly. With few apps able to mirror but not able to see amazon prime.
Searched on different forums and found a work around. Download Google Home app. Under Account look for additional settings and Mirror device option. Vola, now able to mirror the screen. Its a pity that for a expensive phone, screen mirroring is not straight forward. I had no issues with three year old Xiaomi phones for mirroring.
Hope this issue be addressed in the next software update.
I have no issues with my Fire TV Stick. It's readily available in multi screen option of Reno 10x. Working without lag. No separate application is required for screen mirroring.
I have the same problem .. my phone oppo reno 2f and hope repiar it the next software update or i well change my phone because i nead thins function
Hi guys, I have tested 2 phones - one HTC and another Xiaomi running Android One up-to-date OS. Both devices are not able to find Samsung Q60 Smart TV when trying to screen cast. All the devices (phones and TV) are connected to the same WiFi network and are fully updated to the latest versions of software.
The TV is working perfectly though with Huawei running with Android 10. Also the HTC and Xiaomi are able to screen cast on Sony Smart TV. So it looks like Android One is not compatible with Samsung Q60 series smart TV, is that right ? And is there anything I can do to resolve this issue, except buying another phone/TV ?
As far as I understood from forums.androidcentral.com - Samsung Smart TVs require the device to use AllShareCast, WiDi, or Miracast to do Screen Mirroring. Android One phones run "stock" Android, which I don't think supports any of those. Is there a way to modify some system settings to change the way it is screen casting??
