[Google Chromecast] Johny_G:
Warning! TL;DR below! :)

The point is, that every single Chromecast device has its unique ID, its unique MAC Address, and its (unique?) signed certificate. Also, it might have some kind of ID generated when you set the device up (similar to Push ID used in Google Cloud Messaging). Some of those (maybe all of them) have to play together to calculate the key. As soon as you pull the certificate out and put it in different environment, the result of the calculation won't match the SDK's expectations. So there is pretty good chance, that bypassing the key might be completely impossible without modifying the SDK itself (and it would require the developers to actually invest some effort to support these alternatives) and maybe the Chromecast device software as well. But who knows, the guys involved in those "emulators" are way smarter than most of us and might figure something out :).

This is the biggest issue. The other one is, that everything has changed in the new SDK/API, and all of the methods used in those emulators are now deprecated and need to be implemented all over again in a different fashion to work with 2.0. This might actually be a good thing, since developers involved in testing of the way-too-rushed 1.0 seemed not to have a lot of kind words to say about it. I have attended one Chromcast block on a local conference, and it was basically 2 hours of swearing.

I've stumbled upon these issues today (and a bit of yesterday), trying to get my app working in the office (I forgot my Chromecast at home - again), and here are some sources if you are more interested in the topic:

As a developer, I have to say, that Google is making things awfully difficult lately, and the "don't be evil" policy seems to slowly fade away. They put way too much effort into marketing decisions, and have no time to properly test APIs and SDKs before they spit them out :(. Mostly, when trying some new Android-related technology (to be honest, its mostly Google Play Services technology these days, so AOSP starts to be completely useless), I spend most of the time working around things that nobody thought of (i.e. the Translucency API in KitKat was obviously tailored for Google Now Launcher, and is a huge PITA tu be used elsewhere) and fixing the broken samples that come with them. It might seem weird, but sometimes (say hello to Play Games Services and in-app billing v1+v2!) the sample is inseparable part of the final implementation, so you have to fix their rushed code anyway. I shouldn't be complaining, since things like that raise the value of developers willing to go through all of this in their spare time, but the change of philosophy still bugs me a lot. Google and Android used to be strongly community-oriented, and now the marketing is pulling it all away.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Should the goal really be to emulate a Chromecast or should the effort be geared toward supporting DIAL protocol?

I would think the latter is the better option because you could support whatever the hardware supports without the limitations imposed on us from CCast Hardware.

Maybe I'm wrong but I always looked at DIAL as an extension of UPnP and separate from the CCast itself and the Chromecast SDK as not much more than a kit to add DIAL support to Android (and iOS) not meant to build anything on the CCast side at all.

Other companies like Roku are planning some DIAL support and I doubt highly they will have a CCast ID and Certificate.

In the end I think we will get something similar to this functionality from a player app like VLC on PC and MAC, or perhaps in Chrome itself.

Cause I think (and I may be totally wrong here) that it isn't the Apps we use that checks the Whitelist and IDs it is the CCast itself that when invoked to load a player app to stream it also checks the whitelist and tests security before it plays.

SO if someone created a program for PC that made the PC announce itself as a DIAL capable device that when connected to loads the app into Chrome, I bet most of it would work.

Might not work with any of the DRM sites like Netflix and Hulu but for things like local content and unprotected streams I see no reason why it wouldn't.

In fact I bet the trouble some are having with Channels in Plex and others would go away because a PC Chrome instance would be able to play many more Transport types than a CCast can currently.
[Google Chromecast] Averix:
I agree with you. I could actually care less about emulating the specifics of what's in the Chromecast hardware. What I do want is the ability for those unrestricted apps (ie not Netflix) to be able to use their Cast button to find, connect to, and use whatever the emulator is. The new CC SDK doesn't use DIAL to do the initial search any longer. It now uses mDNS. All of the previous apps (YouTube, Pandora, etc.) are still using the old API and DIAL discovery which appears to be backward compatible with the new Chromecast stick software. If you look at the debug logs of the stick, both the v1 and v2 APIs are accounted for. As for Roku, my guess (I haven't started digging in on what they're up to yet) is that they have an app that is using DIAL for discovering the Roku and then just acting as a remote control for all the box functions. Chromecast was a bit more unique since it could basically load up anything from the web as a receiver/playback client since the software is just basically a Chrome browser with some wrappers around it. That's what made it much more dynamic without having to load "channels" in the box within a custom framework like Roku does.

And Bhiga, as for economics on Google providing the software to other hardware makers, I think it it would actually be in their best interest. The Chromecast right now has to be either close to at cost for them or a loss leader. If they can get the Cast API to become a default standard on new consumer devices, that would help them take over that space. To me, that is such a better proposition for them than trying to get the complexities of something like GoogleTV into TVs.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
mDNS actually makes discovery a lot easier - mDNS = Bonjour = what Apple and TiVo use for discovery already.

I agree with you that adoption of the API and protocols is the goal. At this stage an Android emulator probably would help adoption, but my point was that a desktop emulator doesn't necessarily add to the rate. If someone starts looking to using a desktop because they think they don't need a Google Cast device, they'll likely runs across Plex and Miracast and may decide they don't need Google Cast at all.
[Google Chromecast] Averix:
I wish Google agreed with us. :)
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I bet anything there are some at Google who do agree with us but when your as BIG a company as Google is it takes forever to get everyone on board and thinking along the same lines enough to manifest it into an end product.

In the end what all if this really tells us is how much DLNA Consortium has failed to standardize Media Distribution by not going far enough and thinking of it from the end user ergonomic experience.

If this discovery and launch capability was more fleshed out in the DLNA specs we might not be talking about DIAL and mDNS right now.

At some point all these protocols (DLNA, UPnP, DIAL) should be merged into one standardized protocol that any platform can use.

Probably years away though...
[Google Chromecast] Averix:
My concern is that unless Google is willing to push this as a standard rather than just apps for one dongle, it will only be a matter of time before the giant (un)friendly fruit company swoops in and AirPlay becomes the defacto standard that all TV makers, set top makers, and anyone else are forced to build in. It's not quite the same as how DLNA and UPnP have become sort of irrelevant, but it could pan out that way for the Google Cast API without more hardware devices having the capability built in. Time and market pressure will tell I guess.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Being that DIAL is free and Chromecast-capable apps are available on both Android and iOS, DIAL has the advantage over AirPlay for TVs as it isn't "tied" to the device.

Also, there's a lot of overlap between the content providers for Google Cast with DIAL and smart TVs, so if we're lucky smart TVs will adopt the Google Cast platform and model.

Still need Amazon Instant Video though... which I just thought about this morning... Amazon is one of the key partners for Chromecast sales (along with Best Buy), yet neither CinemaNow (a BBY company) nor Amazon Instant Video work on Chromecast. Funny huh.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
It can't be because you flash humberos.

You still have stock 3e recovery.

You need to flash a custom recovery.

You didn't say what model of tab 7 you have.

If P 1000, follow my signature.

Overcome kernel will give you cwm recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
Hey guys I just wanted to say good bye tp you all cuz I got my new Nexus 4 and gave SGM to my small brother. Just yesterday I got my Nexus 4 and now will be going back to my college with my new phone :D

I just want to say thank you for the whole SGM community and all its developers and guys who were included in even a little development for our SGM. I learned a lot from this community but now I had to buy new device cuz all others have costly smartphones in my college. As I said I won't buy Samsung device in future I didn't go with galaxy s3. Afaik. I am the only one with a nexus 4 in the whole college cuz everyone for the ****ty Samsung's s4 s3 grand and all that s#it. Whatever it is at last I would like to say good bye to you guys again. I don't think anyone will miss me because I was not on xda from last month. But I will miss you guys and I hope nexus 4 community will be like you guys.

Thanks guys :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] chemicalrage:
How much did you get the Nexus 4 for? Btw, everyone says they quit the Galaxy Mini forum but you actually cant. Even though you dont have the phone you ll keep checking back for no reason :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
I got it for 25,990 INR (MRP)

I was requesting my parents from last two months and now they got it for me :)

Btw you r right bro i cannot quit checking back here ;)

This is like a family of which I am a part from last 2+ years and I just cannot leave it :'(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Venomstar:
Flipkart ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
Yup, actually i didnt had much time only had 2 holidays from college so ordered from flipkart. As I get to home I received my N4, they delievered only in a day after the order, they were amazingly fast
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] A_U:
i feel the exact same way..mini is my first android too, its just hard to turn away from such a great community that we have here.. :)

keep visiting and install CM 10.1 + Franco kernel NOWWWW :D its greatest combo ever ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
I am on stock right now, will install on monday when i get back to hostel, i am also eagerly waiting for monday, i have heard a lot about franco's kernel lets see what it's got ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hsay:

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
Yeah I will :)

Hey guys I need some help. In my university they have blocked lots of websites including xda. All proxy sites, torrents, movies and songs sites are also banned. Guys is there any way I can bypass that S#!T ?

Btw my university is providing 1gb data limit everyday with 100-150 KBPS download speed. My classmates just keep on using Facebook there. So is there any way I can remove that block by any proxy software/tunnel ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hsay:
very easy just use droidvpn thats what i used to do in my school
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
Ok i will try :)

Btw i recieved OTA update of android 4.3 on my n4 just now :D

Will see what are the changes in it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
Good for you, you're gonna be better off with new phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
I had to use a trick to get this update. I wiped data of 'google services framework' 6-7 times to get this update otherwise it was showing 'your device is up to date' on 4.2.2.

Btw yeah, I think i am the first one with android 4.3 in the whole college ;) :P
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hsay:
oh man i envy you so so so so much right now.......
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
Hey bro u need not say that, I am pretty much sure you will buy something better than me in future. May be nexus 5 is in your luck. But I have to use this device till my graduation for 4 years. So don't worry, enjoy your life. I always think that the thing you have is the best in the world. Even when I had my Mini, it was much better for me than S4 or any other S#!T. I Don't worry about others and what they got. I just waited and this is what I got. Hope I am right :/
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] F4uzan:
Yeah, true i'm not paying Sammy for their phones again. Mini was the best and better than S4 and Grand S**T. Sammy is getting like Apple, no innovation or whatsoever.

Andd... just like i said, you won't forgot SGM community, you'll end up visiting SGM Community almost every day.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
The same is with you. Isn't it? You also said goodbye and see, you are still here ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] R.A.G.E:
Seem like nobody want to leave this place eh :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] F4uzan:

i think most people who makes shell today programming use c++ wind32 stk

which is sadly the most complex way to program

guess it would be possible with c++ MFC aswell

not sure if it's possible with .NET

if it is i guess it's your best bet if you like basic

HTML and jscript have no real relevance here

Sony has confirmed he is going to release android 4.3 for xperia z. I recently used honami interface in my xz by monx. I'm pretty impressed by that awesome interface.

In accordance with recent Walkman and album OTA updates from Sony, it's more alike of honami s interface.

So finally my question is,

Will Sony officially port honami s interface to xz and give it as an official update?

[Security Discussion] lordofazeroth:
Where to put this thread?

It may be an app idea as I am no developer.

This is regarding info gathering by certain companies, e.g. Google with its Password saving.

The question is:

Is there an app which blocks all access to certain servers, services, etc. just by being put onto the phone?

To be more specific:

When a custom ROM is created this app is put into /system/app. It will be installed when the ROM is installed. After installation but before the phone is initialized on the first boot this app blocks all access to servers, services, which are intendet to gather information or data such as Googles password saving without the need of doing something by the user.

The thing is: The blocking is done before the first initialisation so an inexperienced user cannot give info to Google. Or by human error.
