Is there a way to cast the screen of the FTV to your phone/tablet and then use touch controls on the phone/tablet to navigate the FTV? Similar to the mouse apps, but actually have the FTV screen actually show up on the phone/tablet.
Thanks in advance.
People are gonne need more info before they can answer. Is you device rooted?
Yes, my FTV is rooted.

Roku just released a brand new feature that allows screen mirroring. It's working fine with our unrooted S5, but I can't get it to work with my 10.1. I don't know if it's because my 10.1 is rooted, or if there are bugs on Roku's end as it's still in Beta. Just wondered if anyone else had tried this feature and was successful at mirroring their tablet.
Can you give more details? You are trying to mirroring to another android device, PC or TV? If it's TV I can't help you because my TV don't support mirroring and I don't have chromocast or similar.
Details: on the Roku/TV I go to settings>screen mirroring >enable. On my tablet I go to settings and enable screen mirroring. My Roku is listed. I select the roku. On the TV screen it goes to another screen for just a second, then goes back to the enable screen. Then my tablet switches off screen mirroring automatically. As I said in my OP, I am able to connect my S5 using these steps.
When using my FIreTV connected to a HDMI->DVI adapter on my LCD monitor the FIretv (rooted) has a terrible resolution but will not allow me to set it to anything other than auto within the FireTV settings (Says unknown resolution) Does anyone know of a workaround I can do to increase the resolution another way or a fix? Thanks!

Thanks for this.... that option pops up for about a millisecond and just goes away though. Any ideas why? Looks like it automatically chooses it right off the bat since I am still holding the select button while pulling up that option...
Update: Works when plugged into my other TV but not through the DVI to HDMI adapter
Maybe I'm just spoiled by having used a Chromecast before, but is there a way to make the Fire TV always be "listening" for a device that is trying to cast to it?
It works fine from my Oneplus One, but it is a bit annoying that I have to navigate to Settings -> Display and Sounds -> Enable Display Mirroring any time I want to cast anything.
Hi, so I have a fire stick, which I need to relay a single website on constantly for a company, but the thing is, even though firefox is open the stick will go to sleep mode. I sorta need this turned off, I understand there is a way to do this via adb commands, could anyone explain this further? I've tried tasker yet failed to even set up a profile as I couldn't hit the + button with the limited scrolling and functionality that accompanies the remote control with the stick.
any help is appreciated,
thanks!
is ther a way to use the shield with external touch screen like a 10in or larger tablet
to control a music app (which i know one can cast from a mobile device thats not what im tring to do) id like to do a split screen out from the shield like a pc but via the shields wifi to a tablet thats always on an wifi'ed directly to it an not though the router
that acts as a 2nd display that a music app like aimp can be sitting on that display like an extended desktop an run on an be controlled from rather then using the remote on the main screen an also not have to cast it from a tab or phone every time i want to use with easy
id just like to have the tablet next to me on a stand that i can just reach out an touch a track to start playing without having to cast first

You can use this to control your shield from any windows PC wirelessly through ADB, I use it all the time
