Randall I think we should stop doing the special stuff for screen mirroring. We should just do the default thing and allow the phone UI to show. We've had a few bugs filed around this and nobody is really maintaining the fancy mirroring we try to do.

So from what I remember the problem isn't with our code but with Android. Even Google's own example app did the same thing. So probably best to just disable it.

I vaguely remember just changing the viewport and things seemed to work better. I'll see if I can find my patch.
