About SecondScreen
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. 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.

Live Screen
With Live Screen, you can mirror your device's screen over WiFi and access it from a browser from any other device on your WiFi network. Screen mirroring is easy just open Live Screen on your android device and start the screen mirroring process and open the URL displayed in the app in your browser. As simple as that. No additional software is required on your remote device. Live Screen is perfect if you need a second screen if you want to show your phone screen in a presentation in front of an audience, or if you want to present your photos to your family. To work properly, this app requires your Android device and your target device (computer, laptop, or tablet) to be on the same WiFi network (or connected via a smartphone hotspot). Please note that Live Screen only mirrors the screen, but not the audio signals from your device. It works perfectly with Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Firefox, and Samsung Smart TV.
