Download Portable Format Factory For Your Linux

Displays Android Device Screen to Linux Laptop - Sometimes we need / want to see our Android Smartphone's screen to our Linux PC. There are so many of reasons we need mirroring android device screen : you might be a developer in middle of coding and want to check your app without having to constantly reach for your phone, want to share any pictures on a big screen without uploading them, or need to give a presentation quickly while the projector is connected to a PC.

It's very easy if you an Windows or Mac user. You can use Mobizen, AirDroid, or PC Link for ASUS phone's. Before this post, Linuxslaves published an articles AirDroid : Easily Access Android Phone From Ubuntu Linux and Feem Alternative to Shareit For Ubuntu Linux and Derivatives System. But the main problem is it doesn't support mirror android screen onto Linux system. 

Then how about Linux? Can I mirror my Android device on my Linux desktop? Yes you can do that wihout root! This method no requires installation on your phone. The easiest way is using Vysor Chrome App. Vysor lets you view and control your Android on your computer easy peasy.

• This tutorial works on Windows, Linux, or Mac.
• The USB cable makes your screen reflect in almost real-time, as opposed to wireless solutions where there is distinct lag. Vysor still has a slight lag, but it’s much faster than working off wireless.
• You can interact with your phone’s screen through your computer.
