[APP] [ROOT REQUIRED] Chromecast mirroring (screencasting) works!

The Chromecast only allows certain devices to use it's new mirroring functions. The OPO is apparently not on that list. But, thanks to this handy app, the Chromecast will now recognize my OPO and allow for full mirroring!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
- Install the app and open it.
- Enable "Mirror Status:" and enable "QuickSettings Mirror:"
- Either open the chromecast app, and find mirroring in the left panel, or
- Pull down into your quick settings and see the icon for "cast screen"
There is a small bit of lag, which would mean some games that require split second timing would be hard to play on the big screen, but others work fine, like FIFA 14 for example. Any video site (that doesn't already support Chromecast) will work perfectly as well.

i try this but there is no audio out from my oneplus one only from youtube

Will this make my chromecast work as miracast that allow screen mirroring?

Allcast screens to TV or just PC. We are talking about screen mirroring and not Allcasts normal feature right?

A little easier way (for some)
Thanks for one of the popular and working solutions.. I was just about to apply that and I just wondered what happens if I try "Cast Screen" option in my One with my Samsung Smart TV, and I got it working with little efforts! Here's the thread I posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/howto-oneplus-one-cast-screen-smart-tv-t2938752
Might be helpful for somebody who wants to go an easy way if possible.
Enjoy casting..!

I found a little write up that makes it a lot easier and more stable. First download root explorer go to system folder then build prop. Find
ro.product.device=A0001 and change A0001 to hammerhead and save changes. Now go to settings / display and under cast screen option your chrome cast will now appear then click on it. Now once WiFi on and you pull down quick settings you will see cast option appear.

That happened to me once when I was kind of away from the TV or when I thoroughly covered back of my phone. So I assume that would be because of weak Wi-Fi Direct connection between devices. Also, I noticed increase in delays and some jitter in video. So this surely seems like connectivity issue.
May be trying without a case or with WiFi antena area open/unblocked should reflect the improvement.

Note 5 Screen Mirroring problem

I have just bought a note 5 to find there is no screen mirroring on this phone.
I have also tried to download the Samsung link app but it says it is not compatible with this phone.
Does anyone have any ideas, i only want to stream my videos to a Samsung T.V.
So far this phone has been a huge dissapointment, no external memory and now they take away something i tended to use everyday.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Well since the OP didn't say it wasn't working, I didn't feel the need to say how.
The OP said screen mirroring isn't on the device. Simply pulling down the notification shade shows the button to enable it.

Funny

If your phone is not rooted you should have no problem with screen mirroring if it's rooted you simply need to add a few words so that you can allow it to work again. It works it's there

Note 5 doesn't sees chromecast as screen mirroring device... Anyone have this issue?
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk

You can also access screen mirroring from the Gallery by clicking share, screen mirroring is one of the options.

Pull down the notification panel and press "Edit" should be on the top right corner and it should pop up there

I don't think chromecast works with the built in screen mirroring. You have to use the chromecast app it's just as easy.

Go to About Device in Settings. Click on Status. Scroll to the bottom. If it say anything but "official" you won't be able to use a bunch of different Samsung apps that do a status check.

I had the same problem. Pull down notification bar select quick connect.

Figured I'd look into your request. First goto menu on Samsung TV, then goto network. Should then see a screen mirroring choose, select that. Then like mentioned, select screen mirroring in drop-down and Samsung TV choice should appear. In future you may just need to activate screen mirror after this initial connect. This was done from my Note 4, as well as my Note 5!
Hope this was helpful.

I'm having trouble connecting the screening mirroring with my tv...I have the Samsung all share hub...help!

hey . ive rooted my phone and in the status it doesnt say official but custom .. ofcourse cos its rooted
now what steps do i need to go through to enable screen mirrorring ?
thanks

My N920T is rooted so of course Status says Custom. Screen mirroring works perfectly fine for me with an Amazon Fire TV.

Thank you for that tip! I just upgraded from a Note 4 (SM-910T) to the Note 5 (SM-920I) and lost the menu option for screen mirroring. Your instructions worked perfectly. Annoying that we have to do that, but glad that the functionality is still there.

I found a tricky way to mirror video from Note5 to tv.
Pick any picture from your gallery.
At the bottom , there is a pop- up screen , choose share option.
Then choose mirroring option. Then your phone will look for tv or devices that you want to connect. After you choose that tv or device. Your phone will hook up and everything that shows on note5 includeing video will show on tv.

Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter
My Note 5 with Lolipop 5.1.1 doesn't work with my Microsoft Wirless Display Adapter...it sees it and tries to connect but never does it. My Note 3 on Kitkat 4.4.2 works better than anything I have every seen with this adapter, there is almost no lag! (unlike with Chromecast) I read that Lolipop broke a lot of phone's Screen Mirroring capabilities. Anyone know why or how to fix it yet?

Carstream (aka YouTube auto) working with update phone w/root

Up until recently google had blocked car stream via updates to Android auto and play services. The only way to keep car stream working was to keep those two apps rolled back to certain versions and not take updates. Problem is play services auto updates regardless of settings for such, and will randomly disable YouTube auto until roll back again.
Well thekirankumar updated carstream to version 2.0.0 and with it brought instructions to bypass these blocks. You can find it here at his github. The instructions were a little complicated for your average user and even then contained some uneeded steps. So I'm going to summarize....
Update play services and Android auto (woo!).
Install carstream (Android auto) from the github link above.
Then follow his guide step 1-8, I'll qoute...
"1. Start Android Auto on your phone (the phone is not attached to anything at this time)
2. Click on the menu on the top left (three bars)
3. Click "About"
The following steps may already be done. I am including them for reference for newbies.
4. If developer mode is not enabled, click on the bar "About Android Auto" 10 times.
5. Click on the three dot menu (on the top right)
6. Click on "Developer settings"
7. Click on Application Mode and set to "Developer". Also go to the bottom of the developers settings and make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked.
8. Click back, and then go to the three dot menu. Click "Start head unit server"."
Now connect the phone to your car and accept any permissions it may ask you for.
Disconnect the phone, click stop on the head unit server from your notification bar.
Then follow his steps 20-23, I'll qoute...
"20. Now, go to your apps, and start Carstream
21. Click on "Unlock[Root]" and grant Root access when prompted (screenshot below)
22. Reboot the phone
23.Once the phone reboots, connect the phone to your car, and start Android Auto. Go to the speedometer thing (on the lower right side of the screen) and see if Carstream is listed. If it is, give thanks below. If it isn't, I don't know what to tell you."
All done

Worked for me! ?

While watching the video, go full screen. When full screen, tap on the video and a little box on the right side will pop up that say either "fil, contain, or fit" I think. Tap on the box to cycle through viewing options

Superb...work fantastic with me.

It's an error on clicking Unlock [Root] in Carstream. I granted Root permissions at the prompt. Still it's a permission denied error.

Make sure you have busybox. Though This message usually occurs when the apps aren't updated (either Android auto or play services). Reboot and try again.

It Depends. If your bootloader is already unlocked, you won't loose anything by rooting. If your bootloader is locked then unlocking it (to allow root) will erase everything.

Help with Samsung Smartview autoconnect to device

Hi,
i d like to create a task so it autoenables smartview and connects to a given device.
i couldnt find the trigger todo so, is it may not possible ?
The Trigger Bluetooth is clear, but i cant figure the way to use smartview with device as task ...

Unfortunately, I haven't had a Samsung in years, but a post in the S7 Q/A forum suggests using an app called Miracast Shortcut.

Hi, thanks, but thats exactly what im doing in profile, using the bluetooth connect to car to open the app, but the app doesnt auto connect to the cast device (and there is no option as far as i see in the app todo so), so the point in auto connect to the device cannot be provided like this in my usecase.
thanks for the tip with BT, that is my trigger already to start the action, but the action "auto connect to a cast device" ... is not given to me.

There is a tasker plugin by the same developer called AutoCast. Maybe it will help you.
I don't do any of this, so obviously I don't have any personal experience to offer. You might try on the tasker Google groups forum.

was a great idea, sadly this app (beta state) only supports google devices, no miracast device, but that function would have been the winner, thanks again

Probably a part of the problem is that Google removed miracast support from "stock" android awhile ago. That dates back to the nexus 6 days.

contacted the developer of the autocast plugin and he confirmed, only works with google cast devices like i (sadly) expected.
thanks anyway for the hint.

That's always working to automate the tap(s) required. You could use Tasker to open the app, AutoInput UI query to determine when it's open, then an AutoInput action to enable the device connection.

probably yes, but thats now too much read and trial and error for now, thanks.

Google Cast & "Coolwalk"

After seeing the articles about the new files being in the latest beta version I took a dive in and looked to see how to enable it. Here's some basic steps for that.
​1. You will need to be rooted and on the latest beta. "7.3.120244-release.daily"​2. Download a database editor, I used SQLite Editor.​3. Open SQLite and under "apps" section navigate to Google Play Services and open it.​4. Scroll down to phenotype.db and select it.​5. Look for "flags" and open it.​6. On the top select "set filter" input Coolwalk__enabled.​7. change all bootVal from 0 to 1.​8. Now search for cakewalk and do the same.​9. Lastly search for MirrorApp__enabled and change those.​
Now just restart your phone and connect to Android auto. You will need to enable coolwalk on the head unit settings. To switch from full screen and condensed press and hold the new UI home button. I need another phone to show off cast, but it does work. You just can't do Netflix/Hulu what not. You also need to be in park. I haven't found what to change to eliminate that. Anyone else wants to help give it a shot.
UPDATE: if you have sqlite3 installed with magisk you can also create a trigger like so in termux.
Code:
Su
Sqlite3
.open /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/phenotype.db
CREATE TRIGGER after_update
AFTER UPDATE ON Flags
BEGIN
UPDATE Flags SET boolVal=1 WHERE name='Coolwalk__enabled';UPDATE Flags SET boolVal=1 WHERE name='MirrorApp__enabled';UPDATE Flags SET boolVal=1 WHERE name LIKE 'Coolwalk__%' AND boolVal=0;
END;
​​

works fine, thank you

working! maps looks a bit bugged when navigation is on (can't see road indications) but probably is just a matter of time they fix it... thanks bro!!

I enabled all the flags but can't get the option...anything I'm missing? I'm on Android 12 and latest AA 7.3 beta

Works great! I tried it on both the 7.3.120244 and the 7.3.120444 beta version and both worked. I did have to revert all the tweaks from AA AIO Tweaker and uninstall the app first to get it to work.

Still not working...I tried everything imaginable but nothing works.

Perhaps we can use the cast function for Screen2Auto and Fermata in the future as Google always tries to block 3rd party apps.

Yes, I randomly got the same black screen too, although the bottom bar is still visible/clickable. Restart AA will be back to normal. I think it's just a bug in the AA beta.
