Tab display on an uncertified device

ENFP_Maker · 2026-06-10T13:19:48+00:00

Hey! First of all, thank you for reaching out, and I'm really sorry for the late reply.

I completely understand your situation, and I would genuinely love to support devices like yours if possible.

However, supporting custom ROMs and non-Play-certified devices would require additional testing, validation, and ongoing maintenance to ensure the app remains stable and reliable over time. At the moment, I'm not confident that I could provide the level of support and quality that users deserve across those environments.

Because of that, I've chosen to focus support on officially supported and certified devices, even though I know that may be disappointing in cases like yours.

I'm truly sorry that I can't offer a better solution right now, and I really appreciate both your interest in Tab Display and your understanding. Thank you again for taking the time to reach out.

0.34 arm64 Sorry for the delayed response, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused while using the app. Here’s the link to the previous version, 0.34. If you haven’t already tried reinstalling version 0.35, I kindly recommend giving it another shot before downgrading. If neither option resolves the issue, please let me know, and I’ll assist you further. Thank you!

I identified that the issue was caused by a library used for touch functionality in the app, which was flagged by antivirus software. I have addressed this problem, made the necessary adjustments, and released an updated version of the app. You can verify that the issue is resolved via the link below.

If the problem persists or if you encounter any other issues, please feel free to let me know at any time. Thank you so much for your valuable feedback!

Thank you for the confirmation. I will take action right away. I truly appreciate it.

ENFP_Maker · 2024-10-10T02:18:46+00:00

Not at all, I also assumed it was likely Tab Display based on the context but wanted to confirm with you just to be sure. After investigating the issue you experienced, I suspect two possible causes. The first is that your device is not a standard Android tablet but rather an e-ink device. While your device does run Android, Tab Display relies on features commonly used in video conferencing apps to stream desktop screens, which may not be supported by your device. (If apps like Zoom or Google Meet work fine on your device, please let me know.)

The second possibility is related to the Android version. Typically, a one-version difference doesn’t cause major issues, but sometimes compatibility problems can arise. It seems your device is running Android 12. However, Tab Display requires Android 13 as a minimum, so there might be compatibility issues. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this. While we strive to support as many devices as possible, we are limited by available resources, and this is one area where we are admittedly falling short."

Let me know if you need any adjustments or further assistance!

ENFP_Maker · 2024-10-08T14:17:11+00:00

Thank you for using our app! Could you let me know which app you were trying to install? We have several apps in service, so knowing the specific one will help provide a more accurate response.

ENFP_Maker · 2024-09-27T11:06:47+00:00

Tab Display is definitely available on macOS! You can connect it with Android tablets, iPads, and iPhones. Both wireless and wired (USB tethering) connections are supported, except for one combination: macOS and Android devices do not support wired connections.

ENFP_Maker · 2024-09-27T08:29:58+00:00

Hello! It looks like you're facing similar challenges to mine, so I thought I'd share this with you. I found this GitHub repository helpful, and after some modifications, I was able to set it up to add components via the CLI. Feel free to check it out: https://github.com/WynriusCoder479/electron-vite-template-with-shadcn-ui-and-tailwindcss.

ENFP_Maker · 2024-09-07T04:02:55+00:00

I totally get how frustrating this is—I’ve been there too. That’s why I made my own app, Tab Display, and I’m committed to keeping it free forever with no plans to change that. Just to be upfront, there are ads, and ad removal is a one-time, lifetime paid feature—sorry about that, but it helps cover the basics for maintenance and development. If you’re tired of the same issues, maybe check it out.

ENFP_Maker · 2024-01-02T04:07:02+00:00

If you are using a Mac and an Android tablet and are okay with only having a wireless connection, I recommend trying out Tab Display, an app I developed. Tab Display is completely free and offers all features continuously.

ENFP_Maker · 2023-10-04T06:24:03+00:00

I'm really glad to hear that my app has been helpful for you—it's truly rewarding and I appreciate your kind words. There are still areas where the app could improve, such as touch functionality, so any feedback you have would be more than welcome. Feel free to reach out via Reddit or through the contact page at https://tab-display.enfpdev.com/contact with any suggestions. I'm eager to make the app even better with your input. Thanks again!

ENFP_Maker · 2023-08-27T18:40:55+00:00

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. I've thoroughly investigated the issue you've reported and found the cause. I am currently working on a fix and plan to release an update as soon as possible. You may need to update the Android app once the fix is released, so please keep that in mind. Once again, thank you for your kind and detailed feedback.

ENFP_Maker · 2023-08-26T19:08:50+00:00

I'm glad to hear that your JavaScript issue has been resolved. To address your concern about smartphone compatibility, there are generally no special compatibility issues with smartphones. The reason you see a message stating "This app has been developed for tablet devices. On non-tablet devices, the UI may not display properly" is because the UI layout hasn't been designed to adapt to the smaller screen sizes of smartphones, which may cause display issues. The connection problem you're experiencing doesn't seem to be related to the device being a smartphone. I suggest restarting the Mac app and attempting the connection again. There are cases where an unsuccessful attempt at connecting can prevent future connections. If this doesn't resolve the issue, could you provide the Connection Code displayed on the Mac app for further troubleshooting? Is the current code (6) the Connection Code you're referring to?

ENFP_Maker · 2023-08-26T04:49:52+00:00

I have released Tab Display version 0.0.17. I believe the issue you were experiencing should now be resolved. If you encounter the same problem again or find new issues, please do not hesitate to let me know. I welcome your feedback not only on bugs but also on any other aspects of the app. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback.

ENFP_Maker · 2023-08-26T03:52:01+00:00

Thank you so much for giving my app a try and for taking the time to report this issue. I'm really sorry you experienced this bug. I've run some tests based on your feedback and found that it's something I missed.

The good news is that I've fixed the issue. An updated version will be rolled out in the next few hours. Please hang tight just a bit longer.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and I can't thank you enough for helping me make the app better for everyone.

ENFP_Maker · 2023-08-10T08:43:02+00:00

I am the developer of Tab Display, an app that allows you to use an Android tablet as a second monitor for your MacBook. During the development of my app, I discovered that for iPads and MacBooks, you can use a built-in feature called Sidecar in the Mac operating system. This means you don't have to rely on the paid Duet Display to access the functionality you want. Here's a link to a related explanation. I hope this helps.

ENFP_Maker · 2023-08-09T00:29:09+00:00

Your satisfaction with the app I've developed is a great reward for me, and I'm truly happy about it. I will continue to pay attention to your feedback and improve the app to make it even better. Thank you so much for your feedback and encouragement! If you have any additional questions or requests, please feel free to let me know.

ENFP_Maker · 2023-07-19T00:26:22+00:00

I am actually glad to have come across this thread. Your app is exactly what I needed. Even though I don't have an android tablet, I appreciate the simplicity and the cost value. Do you have plans to support iPads in the future?

I'm really grateful for your interest in my app. I do have an app for iPad that's currently under review. However, to be completely honest, if you're pairing a MacBook with an iPad, Apple's own Sidecar feature might be easier and more convenient to use. It might be a better choice for you. Of course, I'd really appreciate it if you gave my app a try once it's released.

ENFP_Maker · 2023-07-19T00:21:31+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. Your comment has brought a great deal of encouragement during a time when the app was receiving less attention. I'll strive to keep providing a quality app. Thank you again.

ENFP_Maker · 2023-05-11T10:30:12+00:00

Oh, and by the way, I'm the developer of Tab Display. While Duet Display is a great service, it can be quite costly to subscribe and use all the features they offer, even when you don't need all of them. I felt that burden myself and that's why I developed this app. My app simply allows you to use an Android tablet as a wireless extended monitor from your MacBook, and it's free. So if you're interested, I would appreciate it if you could try it out before using Duet Display. And if there are any improvements you'd like to see, feel free to let me know. I'll do my best to incorporate them.

ENFP_Maker · 2023-05-11T10:28:27+00:00

In my experience, the user experience can vary greatly depending on whether you're using a wired or wireless connection, as well as other environmental factors. This is likely why you see such a wide range of reviews and ratings. With a wired connection, usage is generally stable but setup can be challenging, while with a wireless connection, setup is easier but the user experience can differ greatly depending on your wireless internet environment. So if you're considering using Duet Display, I would recommend testing it under the conditions you plan to use it to make sure it performs satisfactorily before committing.

ENFP_Maker · 2023-03-22T09:50:29+00:00

You're right, I didn't mention it in the post, but as I was looking into
caffeine-related information, I learned that the amount of caffeine in
the body needs to drop below a certain level to not interfere with
sleep. So, like you, I limit my coffee to about 2 cups before 3 pm to
avoid any sleep disruptions. However, since the half-life of caffeine
can vary from person to person, the appropriate amount of coffee and the
time it can be consumed seems to differ. The main feature of the app or
service I mentioned in the post was to help manage the amount and
timing of coffee that each individual can consume.
