What is Reddit's opinion of MirrorOp Sender for Galaxy?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If you have a Chromecast, use that.

• Download Chromecast app.
• Enable Developer Options on your phone (Settings, About Phone, Version Number, click the number 7 times)
• Go to Developer Options (in settings)
• Find the option to simulate a second screen
• Chose something like 720p, depending on your internet connection
• Go to Google Cast app
• Cast your device screen to TV
• Put the phone in the Gear VR and use normally

If you don't have a Chromecast, use MirrorOP.

I'm in the same boat - I've had the same exact experience.

I've tried Recordable, SideSync, ilos, Chromecast, AllShareCast, Mirror to a Samsung SmartTV - all stop 2 seconds after screen capture with the phone in the cradle.

The only thing I've had success with is an app called MirrorOp. You install a sender on your phone, and a receiver on another device. The quality is poor, but you can at least SHOW someone what you're trying to record. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awindinc.galaxysender

I used obsproject.com to capture the MirrorOp receiver window.

Hope this helps

I tried a number of the various apps for this and found MirrorOp to perform the best. I'm using the S6. With the MirrorOp Sender for Galaxy I can send at a decent framerate to a Windows desktop with their receiver software, or to a FireTV with their receiver app side-loaded.

There is a free demo, so you can try it out and see how it works for you before buying.

There is actually an app that can mirror from a running GearVR I've used in the past. It works pretty well as long as you are on a reliable network connection. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awindinc.galaxysender The app needs to be installed on the phone and be started before you put the phone into the headset. On the receiving device you need to install a special receiver tool. For Windows it would be this one: http://www.mirrorop.com/product_Windows_Receiver.html

For recording, I've used this app with some success. You will have to pair it with a screen recording solution on your PC/Mac though.

Here's an example video that I recorded using it paired with ScreenFlow on Mac.

OBS should also work for the screen recording portion.

Check out MirrorOP, this works for me (S6).

a chromecast or mirrorop app and a bluetooth controller will do it
