About the App

Ever wish your Android device could handle external monitors as smoothly as your laptop? With SecondScreen by Braden Farmer, turning your phone or tablet into a productivity powerhouse is actually doable. Designed for those who love getting more out of their devices—especially when connecting to bigger screens—SecondScreen hands you a bunch of easy ways to tweak your setup exactly how you like it.

App Features

  • Custom Display Settings:
    Adjust your device’s resolution and DPI to match your TV or monitor. You can make things bigger or give your device a true desktop-like look—especially handy for getting that tablet interface on a regular phone.

  • Profiles for Every Setup:
    Quickly switch between different display profiles based on which monitor or TV you’re hooked up to. No need to fiddle with settings every single time.

  • Automatic Connectivity:
    Set your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to auto-enable as soon as you connect, making it simple to sync a keyboard, mouse, or even a controller without hunting through your device’s settings.

  • Desktop Mode in Chrome:
    Want the full desktop web experience on your TV? Default Chrome to desktop sites instead of mobile, so you’re not stuck with the mobile layout.

  • Orientation & Immersive Controls:
    Lock your screen to landscape and enjoy system-wide immersive mode for a cleaner, distraction-free view. There’s also overscan support for getting rid of those annoying black bars on older TVs.

  • Backlight and Vibration Options:
    You can disable your device’s backlight and vibration to save battery when it’s connected—helpful if you’re using the device purely as a controller.

  • Tasker Integration:
    Set up your favorite automations with Tasker for a seamless, hands-off experience when connecting to displays.

  • Quicker Shortcuts & Actions:
    Launch profiles or jump into key features right from your home screen, or use Quick Actions for on-the-fly tweaks.

If you’re firing up SecondScreen using BlueStacks, these tools can make your setup feel a whole lot closer to a desktop environment, with all your controls right where you want them. Just a quick heads-up: you’ll need either root or adb access on your device for most features, and it’s really at home on stock Android systems rather than heavily modified ones.

BlueStacks brings your apps to life on a bigger screen—seamless and straightforward.
