A good screen mirroring app for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Question

I am wondering whether there is any screen mirroring software that will work with my non-rooted Android phone using 4.4.2.

Answer 1

In that case, consider try SevenSquare. A tool used to view a mirror screen of your Android device on the PC, used for demostration, debuging, and so on. even you can click on the mirror screen as you touch on the device panel.

Major:

• Click and swipe on the screen (so you can unlock screen by swipe)
• Virtual menu/home/back key on the UI
• QWERTY key support (just type via your keyboard)
• Auto connect to your device when plug in
• Click on window to wakeup the device (emulate power key press event)
• Support both Android ICS and Jelly Bean. Froyo not full tested
• Wrote in Qt 4.x, easily port to different desktop environment

Minor:

• Rotate view windows on demand (Press F12)
• Virtual cursor (pointer anchor) on the UI
• Auto resize to fit the screen resolution of the device
• Zoom window as your wish and keep the ratio
• Support customized 'screencap' for speeding up (RGBA32, RGB888, RGB565)
• Auto enable compressed data transfer if 'minigzip' found on the host
• 1~2FPS on MSM8625 device (1.2G dual core, 512M memory, 800x480)

Non-feature:

• Not support multi devices pluged in at the same time.
• Not support screen recording as video
• Not support screen shot as picture
