Screen Mirroring on Intel based Tablets - Google Chromecast

Hey Guys
As most of you all are aware , Google has releases Beta Screen mirroring option for 4.4.2 devices
I have a Dell venue 8 which runs on the Intel Atom 2.0 GHZ processor, and its not rooted, coz I haven't tried
Sadly Screen mirroring does not work, only Audio gets routed and I gte a blank screen on the TV with chrome-cast connected, Any one else have this issue ? please advise

It was my understanding that while they added support for 4.4.2 devices, actually getting it to work was going to be hit or miss.

Yes that is true, Its a Hit or Miss, But I wanted to check if its a problem all Intel based devices are facing or not...

I would think the Intel units had more than enough power to do it but perhaps their HAL does not support it.
Mirroring screen does require some Kernel code to support it so it is possible you got 4.4.2 but the kernel was not coded for Screen Cast support.

Well there are options to look for...
You could try a custom Rom, See if a Custom Kernel is available. Both if available would be found here at XDA.
Best place to find it and get answers is over at the Venue8 section of XDA as thats where the development roms and Kernels would be and you might even find instructions to get casting to work without changing roms...

Please don't. You'd be wasting your time. MirrorEnabler is no different than the feature that Google provided. Some people are having reporting success after leaving their device on the black screen for a while. They say the video just magically comes up after a couple of minutes. Not quite sure why.

Woah man... you are right.. It comes up after 5 minutes or so... After it comes on the casting works well... Any idea why the delay

Found something very interesting .. When I hit the cast button .. It usually takes close to 5 minutes to start the casting .. But
I tried this trick.. I hit the cast button and then start the stop watch and the cast initiates in 30 seconds exactly.. I was able to replicate this several times.. Tried it on 2 Intel based tablets.. Same results

That sounds absolutely crazy, but you're absolutely right. The stopwatch trick works ! :good:
Tested wit ASUS MeMo Pad 7 (mod. ME572c with Intel z3560) . The screen was casted at 30 +/-3 seconds. Without the trick, it's total coincidence, when it starts.

HAHAH , Thanks for Testing it out bro. totally weird huh.. if we could just figure out whats stopping from it being cast instantly
Also just to clarify when u dont use the trick, it takes longer rite ????

Nexus 4 and Android 4.2.2 - still no MP3-tags

For all ppl who are also annoyed by missing MP3-tags over bluetooth.
Please star following issue on code.google.com:
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...id&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
Thanks!
AOSP doesn't support AVRCP 1.13 which is the version that introduced metadata support. Until it does, custom ROMs the devs have added it to are the only one's that'll display song/album/artist.
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
This profile is designed to provide a standard interface to control TVs, Hi-fi equipment, etc. to allow a single remote control (or other device) to control all of the A/V equipment to which a user has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP or VDP.
It has the possibility for vendor-dependent extensions.
AVRCP has several versions with significantly increasing functionality:
1.0—Basic remote control commands (play/pause/stop, etc.)
1.3—all of 1.0 plus metadata and media-player state support The status of the music source (playing, stopped, etc.)
Metadata information on the track itself (artist, track name, etc.).
1.4—all of 1.0, 1.3, plus media browsing capabilities for multiple media players Browsing and manipulation of multiple players
Browsing of media metadata per media player, including a "Now Playing" list
Basic search capabilities​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile
https://www.bluetooth.org/Building/HowTechnologyWorks/ProfilesAndProtocols/AVRCP.htm
As far as I know, no n4 custom rom supports it until today. Google will most likely never update it, don't know what the heck they are thinking.
it's such an elementary feature. Can't believe it's not integrated....This really makes me mad.

What do you mean no custom ROM supports it?
I was waiting for someone to confirm if AVRCP 1.3 was going to be added in android 4.2.2 but now I'm planning on rooting and getting a ROM that does support this...
This is my most wanted bug fix for android 4.2.2, and I can't believe they missed it. Shame on Google.

Does anyone know of a stable mod that does have AVRCP 1.3?
I'm glad that I am not the only one^^
Please share this bug report as often as possible in other forums. Maybe if enough ppl will star this google will react - MAYBE^^

This was the main reason I was looking forward to the update...now, I'm sad. Guess I'm going to be forced to root now...anyone know when any of the ROMs will add this much needed feature?

That's all I was looking forward to also.
Its no wonder companies ignore their users when they needlessly and wrongly report bugs for something which is clearly not a bug.
If I was Google I'd ignore every single bug report which was actually reporting a missing feature.
For whatever reason, Google left it out, probably because its a niche requirement. It's not a bug.
thank god ur not google
maybe it's not the right category but at least I did something to point out that there's a problem and gave other ppl the chance to express their madness about this problem aswell.
And a niche? C'mon this is absolute standard nowadays and we can expect this from a 2012 smartphone when even my 2010 i9000 had it!

Nexus 4 Chromecast issue

I got my Chromecast today, while watching some videos using my Nexus 4 Android 4.3 to Chromecast . I experienced lock up's, after the screen timeout. I can't get into the lock screen. So I have to reboot again..by long pressing the power button of my phone. The streamed content is still working while doing the reboot.
N4 Blackout Issue
I'm having the same issue. I'm on a bone stock N4 running Android 4.3 from the factory image.
However, it is an interesting development that the Chromecast continues to run even when our device is off... I'm betting that soon we'll see a crack to running the full Chrome OS on the Chromecast.

Why is that an interesting developlment? That is how its designed... you arent 'sharing' content from your device to the chromecast. The CC is pulling the content directly from the network itself.

No where did they ever say that the Chromecast could run without another device once it started... So since it was never announced or talked about, that DOES make it an interesting development... !

I believe it was mentioned in the demo. Once a stream was started from Google Music, YouTube or Netfix the phone/tablet is no longer needed. They mentioned that we would see no battery drain as well. This is because the phone/tablet is not doing the steaming. Essentially your phone is just a remote. Just like a TV ... You find the channel you want and the remote is no longer needed.
I too am experiencing the lock up when the phone is put to sleep during streaming. I think it is related to the lock screen. If you push the power button once and wait a while you see the new lock screen that shows up during streams.

Same Here
Bone stock, unrooted 4.3 here. It's frustrating. Had to restart N4 5 times so far in last few hours. I am not even Casting anything now still the lockout.
I am having the same issues. Chromecast was working fine with Android 4.2 but after getting the 4.3 update my device will randomly lock up if I am casting from Netflix. It happened once with Play Movies but so far it has only been consistently happening with Netflix while using stock Android 4.3
Happening to me too. Seems like an awfully big bug to let out the door. Still remains unfixed. Since this is the only device I have to control Netflix on the Chromecast, does anyone know if Netflix in Silverlight/Chrome supports chromecasting?
I was having the issue and just wiped the entire thing and loaded the stock 4.3 odexed rom with busy box etc. Once i did this every time i would reboot i would get stuck at the google boot screen. Anyway, jumped into recovery and fixed permissions and all was well. That was after another 2 wipes and reflashes. So not sure what really changed, but thought i would thought my experience out here for someone to pick apart.
Yep having the same issue here, glad to hear it's not only me I guess.
on N4, stock 4.3 unrooted

The issue is with 4.3 and not just with Chromecast. The N4 seems to lock up when video is/was playing and the screen goes to sleep. You get a sleep of death. I've experienced it with Netflix, as have many others. I've seen reports of it with other video apps as well. And these were NOT Chromecast users, just regular users of their Nexus 4s.
So it's a bug in 4.3 that Google needs to fix, or possibly can be fixed by the developers of the problematic apps.
I've discovered if I plug my phone in and activate the dock screensaver then it prevents my phone from going into sleep of death mode. Not ideal but it is a solution for anyone that has a charger near their TV

Fluid in screen transitions

Hi,
Yesterday I get my LG G Watch R! But I'm not happy with that...
I'm testing it and when I open Wear mini launcher the transition animation to open the launcher screen is not going fluid! Is like the watch have lag...
Somebody feel that in their smartwatch?
I will try to update video this night!
Thank you all!

That is the normal operation in this moment.
Maybe future implementations will correct that.
In case you will use watchmaker for example, that lag is 3x longer ... it's like the time will freeze for a while .

Thank you ro_explorer for the fast reply!
I was talking with LG support and told me that is not normal! That a fail of watch so must be replaced!
sadly, it is normal - but hopefully not for long
you can try to switch to one of the Android Wear default faces (not the LG ones, try Simple)
there the delay should be virtually nonexistend
and have a look at this - its really bad on watchmaker, but i like the app so much that I'm putting up with it

Then u mean that everybody have the last software version and only 4 users report that the lag is a known software? Something is wrong here....
I get this lag too with a custom whatchmaker whatchface.

About mini launcer...after install apps sometimes it become lagger...factory restart watch and often the problem will be solved (tryed now and for me works)
About facemaker dont know (i use facer).

I have the impression that any non-standard thingy creats trouble. If I charge overnight with a custom watchface, I have to reboot to get cards. With a standard face, never any problems. Weird...

resolution problems in gaming when flashing a new ROM

I've tried googling but I couldn't find anything related to us, tried different apps used for other devices but they have failed, any help would be greatly appreciated. (I'm new btw got this tablet brand new for $240 and trying to do some different things with it, also the ROM I currently have is AOKP N)

Does the Google Camera(ported) work on this device?

Hello all!
I want to know if any port of Google Camera works on this device?
Thanks!
EDIT - It is vanilla G6 Model. Not the Play or Plus version.
As far as I know it doesn't work on arm32 software, has to be arm64, I've tried several ports and can't get them to work. Hopefully we will get an arm64 firmware at some point.

It's not bad, but then again I'm not trying to take pictures at a sporting event or something, I'd use my actual camera to do that. If I take a picture on the phone it's usually of something that doesn't move.
