Hello
Image is on a book, so I want to see that on phone (maybe via camera?), and that should display on the connected TV. Is this possible? Or maybe any app? I have samsung note 8.
thanks
Your question is somewhat confusing, please reformulate it
OK.
So I have some text and images in a book. I want these to be cast or displayed on big screen TV using my phone. How can I do this? I donot want to take a pic of these texts/images, as they are too many.
thanks

You need to either connect the phone with a wire (USB - C to HDMI) or if you have like a Roku box or Google fire stick then you can use SMART VIEW or a mirroring app.. Swipe down at the top and you should find SMART VIEW in there somewhere..

That is to connect phone to TV, which I can do. I am asking about how to show the pics/text from the book onto the phone and then to tv?
thanks

Phones camera to record and send to the TV at the same time.. Just turn the camera on while it's connected to the TV and it should show whatever is on the screen.
Can't you just get a pdf of the book and then mirror it to the tv as suggested?

I have an idea for a Chromecast app. The basics are that the TV will act as a computer screen, and the device will act as a keyboard and mouse. Who would be interested in this?

Computer screen for... remote control of a computer?
I would find that useful as long as there is not too much delay.
Remote control...sure. I was also thinking it could be a device-created enviornment like the Motorola Lapdock. Now that I think of it, my friend has a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx, and I remember there being an option similar to this when plugged into a TV via miniHDMI to HDMI. It had a web browser, but that was it. But the phone was used as a mouse and keyboard.

The challenge to second "attached" screen is really just lag since Chromecast is a separate device.
Koush's Mirror app I believe uses both OS hooks and hardware assistance to get the screen compressed and sent over.
This sounds like a "second screen" Mirror type app, leaving the keyboard/control on the primary screen.
I like the concept.
Now that I can't figure out how to load a web page in Vbukit, I would also be happy with just being able to launch a browser on Chromecast and control it from phone/tablet, similar to your friend's Droid Razr Maxx.

Workaround - tab cast your PC, RemoteDroid on your Android. If you want a good approximation to your PC, add Hackers Keyboard.

That would work, but hoping for something a little less fiddly. +1 on Hackers Keyboard tho.
Right now if I really need to show a browser, I switch input to my HTPC - just have to retype the address, which is the main convenience with being able to "fling" the browser window to Chromecast, assuming I'm on my phone/tablet. If I'm on my PC, just tab cast.

I keep a Jabber window open on my HTPC, copy the link to myself on my phone and just tap that on the HTPC.
Anything to never retype a url.
In any case - Chromecast for WebTV - if I'm not mistaken, the must-have thing in TV from back in the 90s.

Good idea! I never considered IM-ing myself, hehe.
Convergence Round 1 never really happened... not enough broadband or content back then.
Round 2 got close with Smart TVs, but still cumbersome (esp without keyboard)
Round 3 with Chromecast, getting closer... but the pico projectors still might win.
Until the Awesome App comes out and if one can't afford/doesn't want an HTPC, $75 will net you a stick and wireless keyboard that can do basically the same thing.

Not a bad sort of deal on the whole.
Btw - I wouldn't be surprised if Chromecast 2 (now in fictional status) wouldn't be a combination Android stick + Chromecast.
And I agree - Pico projectors are very cool.
I see that the mini has HDMI, two USB and an Ethernet port.
1. Can I plug a 23 inch monitor into that HDMI port and will it be full screen?
2. Also, I have an external 1.5 TB hard drive that had its own power source, can I use that with the mini?
I have an aging HP tower computer that I'm looking to replace. I know that there mini isn't as powerful as a desk computer; I won't be able to compile a ROM for my Nexus 5X, or ruin the latest desktop game. I'm just looking for a system that can run some general office apps, such as I can get from the Play Store, and access the web. I have Amazon Prime so I do stream movies and TV shows.

Thank you. But, what do you mean it's only possible if we have root? I did read in another thread that the latest version took out the Play Store, but that it was still possible to install the Google Play Services. As far as Amazon you can just download the Underground app via the web.

Yes to both. Amazon Video must be downloaded thru the browser thou.

Definitely. I have a 42 in tv connected to mine. Pretty good setup wizard for adjusting screen, scaling, but mine was good out of the box.

Definitely, plus there is a micro SD slot. My external doesn't auto power so I just turn it on when I use it, no fault to the Mini. According to your stated use as a streaming machine, Kodi is very good on the Mini (using Jarvis from Play Store (and the Google Play Store app is loadable from installed app with latest updates; something about Google asking them to remove it stock since Jide weren't doing much to optimize apps but most tend to work anyway) and it came stock on original OS).
So while I have an external drive connected, between Kodi, the 16GB drive on board, the SD card, USB for thumb drive (the other has an air mouse/keyboard dongle), I don't use the external drive at all. Docs and pics best on Google drive anyway and there's an app for that.

Exactly why I got one! Much lower power use, quiet and small.
I still use a tower as my daily because I'm used to it and have a good setup with multiple screens and a desk and don't want to sit on the couch and use a small wireless keyboard mouse for docs and web search, but no reason not to move this to a desk when not using on TV, it's small and portable.

Is there an Android app for compiling? Yes! Then you can probably do it.
Drawbacks: an occasional black screen flicker of a couple seconds; the IR sensor hasn't been developed and it picks up signals from other remotes and does weird things (Vizio remote volume down will make Kodi on Mini run video backwards; soundbar remote makes Mini go into power down mode that can't be cancelled); support troubleshooting is non-existent (if someone replies they'll ask dozens of questions, keep asking for more info, ask for a video of problem, yada yada, but no answers) check out the Jide Support pages and you'll see what I'm talking about.
This link makes it $49.99 and I wouldn't spend more than that on it. https://shop.jide.com/en/detail?pid=10&fcode=IB13MTTJLBTZTWOZZPYO

Yeah, know you mean Kodi.
If you don't know...you be missin' out big!!!
Basically it's more than you can imagine media wise, streamed to most devices (streamed so no P2P downloading, saving and waiting on big files, abuse letters from ISP, none of that). When new to it install on whatever device and then start with a simple addon like Exodus, not a whole special build as that is confusing for the newcomer (blew my mind, too many choices, confusion). That will stream tons of tv shows, movies, sports, etc. Then there are specialized addons for music, concerts, racing, anime, old movies and tv, etc. Initial set up may look complicated but just follow instructions from one of the thousand web pages and/or youtube videos. Even my wife can handle it all once we cut the cable tv cord, and she much prefers it.
Basically it's freakin' amazing and after a decades of paying and it going to $150 a month to watch a couple shows, baseball and formula 1, I feel we've paid our dues (I'd guess $25,000). Still pay $30 a year for the MLB app, and of course the internet bill.
Yeah, that's what I get for sending before I double checked that spell checker didn't change anything. Stupid autocorrect.
Thanks again for all the great info.

Has anyone checked on the Google Home Hub if you can cast your entire screen onto it using the cast icon in the pull down menu on say a pixel phone or some other Android type phone?
no you cannot it work with apps like youtube, movies and other apps that support casting but for some reason casting the entire screen does not seem to work currently
Similar to if you try casting Netflix to the Hub. It does it for about a second, then it seems to remember "that's something I'm supposed to tell the user I can't do," so it stops and says (best HAL9000 voice) "I'm sorry Dave. I don't know how to do that yet."
So CAN it do this (is it technically capable)? Yes. WILL it do it? No.
Is it possible to connect my windows laptop screen wirelessly into my android tv which has inbuilt chrome cast? I'm planning to buy an android tv. please help me.

Why? Install an iptv app to s8 and see iptv in s8 without the box.
Install the Miracast app on your iptv box and then run Smart View on the tablet.

I can't install app on tablet, because the TV box (formuler z8) have own app, which not included in Google play.
Do you have a user name and password and the ip link of the service for your account for the streaming service you pay? (or one link which includes everything). Or can you ask for them? Say that you want to watch in tablets. (You still can watch for one device each time). If you have those, probably any app can work. I'm watching everything in every device. S8 ultra also. But I have those.

It doesn't support video input via cable. Probably NO Android devices support such at all.
It's doable on PC or Laptops via an external capture card but not on TABs.
AFAIK, there are SOME capture cards which MAY work but it's all trial and error and totally "experimental".
