Hi,

it would be a nice use-case if I can share my tablet-screen (termux) with my bigger screen at home. So more screen-space for all the cool stuff :-).

Best

I may try to hack this up at some point if no one else does, could be a while though... I thought of this a few months ago and it's been a recurring bug in my brain. Could sit on my couch and connect to my dev environment from my TV or anyone's TV really, using a real keyboard and mouse of course. I would use it like a portable cloud pc, would be friggen awesome. Screw laptops haha

I've been trying to find a VNC server to use with Termux (as root) for a couple of days - no success. (sorry if unrelated) It seems there are no working VNC servers for Android 7.1 - is this true?

Is there any other way to screencast/VNC the Android screen to a PC (by using Termux, or adb in termux or any other app)? Especially useful if it would tunnel through Termux SSH.

@vlad3-3-3 Does vysor (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vysor/gidgenkbbabolejbgbpnhbimgjbffefm) work?

I just tried to look into this and it might be possible. It would probably require a Custom CAF Receiver which receives Custom messages from Termux and renders Custom UI. Ideally just terminal themed text as an html page I'd imagine.

There is a Receiver Sample to start from and sending would probably start with the CastVideos-android sample implementing a Custom Channel to communicate with the receiver.

Sadly developing cast apps seems quite complicated to debug and also requires a 5$ registration fee as described in the cast receiver sample readme. Assuming all this is possible, is this a feature you would be interesting in having in Termux?

I don't think my chances of getting this to work are very high so if anyone wants to try this feel free to play with the idea.

I would love this! Would anyone do this for a bounty?
