M96 second screen usb hack similar to Kindle DX

bobodude · 08-20-2015, 11:26 AM

Hi all,

I hacked my Kindle DX last week to use it as a second monitor through usb connection,

and would like to know if anyone knows of a way to do the same thing on the M96, (I am trying twomon usb right now, but am having trouble getting it to work ...)

(as I am a noob, I need somewhat detailed explanations ...)

Thanks in advance

If I were thinking about doing this with a mac, these would be the first things I'd look at:

- networking over usb / adb (android debug bridge)
- screenrecycler (mac) - http://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html
- an android vnc app.

Alternatively there's some android apps made specifically for 'second screen' applications out there - don't recall any specific names at the moment though.

Hi, and thanks for the answer,

I've been trying the last few days to connect via usb/adb, installing the adb found on mobileread,

and using the twomon usb app, but with no luck ...

so I was wondering if someone knows of another app, or if the Kindle DX method using a telnet connection could work with the M96 ....

Best

I found this forum topic by casuality. This is one thing I would LOVE to do, really.
