[Omni Q&A] kaijura:
Describing what you are asking in a simpler to understand analogy:

"I'm moving from New York to California, can I have the exact same interior layout and just drag and drop everything into the same location in my new home?"

You already know the answer, but in technical sense you are asking the omni team to plan and architect their interior design to the same as CM. Architects in New York and California will have completely different visions, based on the goals of the community they support.

It should not be standardized IMO.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama:
I know this is probably more related to the actual FB app but I feel like it's a complete violation of privacy and I don't particularly want this happening but can not seem to find a setting to turn it off.. Here is a scenario where this would be completely out of place and unacceptable..

You take a picture of something private .. You or a friend gets your phone and opens the Facebook app... Oh look the last 3 pics you took.... Really? WTF? Anyone know how to turn this off?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
Check settings. Turn off facebook sync photos.

Just using Facebook is violation of privacy. Even if you find away to turn it off that feature; Facebook is always sucking up information from your device (contacts, location, call logs, pictures, and so on). This is one of the reason I don't use Facebook.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama:
That's definitely true... Makes me sad. I think in this issue though the most disturbing thing is that it's accessing another app (gallery) and then putting the 3 most recent pics in the app (suggesting) you post them. Who's to say their appropriate to post. I don't like this at all.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
Open the Facebook app and tap the top left main menu in your sidebar*Scroll to the bottom and select*Account*>*App Settings*>*Sync PhotosChoose*Don't sync my photos

If you are rooted install below app. This will give you some control over apps permission.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama:
Don't sync photos is already selected. This is new. It's not syncing my photos it's just suggesting photos from my gallery (the last 3 taken) for me to post. Very annoying. I will definitely check out the other app you put on here. I apologize I couldn't quote because the XDA app kinda sux.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkrevelations:
Guys, just get another app for Facebook. There's tons of apps that don't these extra permissions and don't steal your data, AND THEY RUN BETTER than the stock Facebook app. Example : fast for facebook (search it!)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama:
No I didn't. I've tried alternative FB apps in the past. Haven't generally had much success but maybe I'll give it another go..

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama:
No... I can't quote.... I'm not just making it up... I have to post another post to be able to click on a post to quote it...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama:
So it ends up looking like this. I tapped on my post, so I could quote your post. Because it always highlights the one above it. Don't say random stuff if you don't know what you're talking about. Obviously if I could have quoted I would've done it. Been doing this a while....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibrahim.Rahman:
Yes that is a bug. However if you tap the time at the right hand side of each post, the corresponding post is highlighted, not the one above it.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... Sorry for being abrasive. Just been very frustrated with the XDA app lately. It used to be so much easier to use.

[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
Given the moto G's lack of DLNA & Miracast/MHL I was wondering what ways are possible to stream pictures, music, video from my phone over to a TV

Currently this is how I do it, with mixed results,hopefully there is a better all in one solution.

Hardware:

HTC Medialink HD - connects to the TV HDMI

Moto G

USB OTG Cable

Flash Drive

Software:

ES File Explorer (to connect to the USB OTG (navigate to Storage/usbdisk_1.1.1)

Gallery Connect: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.galleryconnect.ads

This actually is the only app that reliably and consistently actually manages to display my pictures onto the TV. Sadly it only does pictures.

Nexus Media Importer

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer

Same people as Gallery Connect, this works really well for USB OTG as it auto detects when you insert your usb drive, sadly I'm not sure if it's an Android limitation or a HTC Media Link problem, but if you get a file it can't display it will just show a 'receiving content' icon on the TV for ever, and you have to reboot the HTC Media link

Wi-Fi Media

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bianor.amscavium

This lets you (in theory) display your photos, videos, music etc, but you can't navigate out of the default Android folders for anything which is a drawback. What it does though, that is helpful is adds a play with Wi-Fi Media icon, so if you navigate to your files using ESFile Explorer you can sometimes stream movies over though it really depends on the codec, i'm not sure if thats Android or the wi-fi Media apps problem. It'd be really nice if you could just use the mx players ability because that plays just about anything.

I don't actually know what protocol the HTC Media Link HD uses, and I only tried it out of curiosity as it came with the wife's HTC One & isn't really meant to be used by non HTC Devices.

I've spent a few days downloading and trying pretty much every DLNA/UPNP app out there to see what would work, and there's only really those 3 that I've found, and something else called flipps HD, that plays from various video sites.

Maybe someone here would know the protocol and if there's anything else that might work better. I know given the hardware limitations of the Moto G things like Screen mirroring etc are most unlikely but it's interestesting to see what can be done.

[Moto G Accessories] tillaz:
miracast is just disabled for some reason, i have made a small change to the framework to enable it :)

[Moto G Accessories] nupi:

[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
wonder why they disabled miracast, I suppose it'll need root to turn back on. It would be nice if there was some way to contact Motorola to tell them to turn it on for the next update.
[Moto G Accessories] tillaz:
you don't need root, just a custom recovery to flash it
[Moto G Accessories] lost101:
One theory I heard was that they disabled it because the phone does not have dual-band wifi.
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
Clearly it doesn't matter, besides they must be using some form of miracast for the moto migrate feature
[Moto G Accessories] tillaz:
here it is if you want to test,

i don't have a mirror cast dongle yet so don't know if it actually connects and works

and don't really have the time to make a new thread right now as im working on a custom rom.

attached are two flashable.zip's one to revert (disable it again) and one to enable it, let me know if it connects and works :)
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
I'd love to, except no idea how to flash anything
[Moto G Accessories] tillaz:
first you need to have an unlocked bootloader, then flash clockworkmod recovery from here > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563599

let me know once you have that and i can explain how to flash zips from recovery.
[Moto G Accessories] Haggster66:
This is great, I've got a Miracast receiver and I'm using it regularly. Tried flashing the zip but it results in an error during flashing since something has to be flashed to the data partition and none of the available custom recoveries for the Moto G can access encrypted data partitions. Bummer.

EDIT: It seems like the option is there now anyway :D I attached a screenshot. Will have to wait a couple of hours until I'm home to test if it works. I'll update this post!
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
I'm reluctant to possibly brick my 2 week old phone at this point, I'd much rather contact Motorola and try and get them to re-enable for their kit kat update to be honest, clearly the phone has the capability.

I have contacted Motorola directly, worst case they say no, we're no worse off, however you never know, they might just enable it.
[Moto G Accessories] robm123:
I have not checked it out intensively but this works with my Samsung F7000. Connecting is no issue, which is pretty strange since setting up just a wifi direct connection seems impossible.

The only issue I noticed is that changing orientation does not always work.
[Moto G Accessories] tillaz:
its impossible for this to brick your phone,

and if they enable it they will just do it the exact same way i did, by changing a bool to true rather than false

all the zip does is replace framework-res.apk, with the small code change.

but if you don't know much about android / flashing its probably best you don't as not knowing what your doing

could lead to self caused problems (but not a brick)

Edit:

its probably disabled to make the phone look more lower end, as by default in the 4.2+ source code its turned on

so its clearly been disabled intentionally and not a mistake
[Moto G Accessories] irishpancake:
Hitillaz, thanks for this!!!

I don't have the custom recovery set up yet, so, is it possible to use ES Explorer, or Root Explorer to just backup and replace the existing /system/framework/framework-res.apk with the one contained in your zip file??

What permissions will I need to give the replacement

looks like this should be [rw-r--r--] owner: root group: root

Would that work??

I am just waiting to decide which Recovery to use. ;)

Thanks.

Hello.

Im from chile and im using moto g with movistar_chile version.

Does anyone managed to run the "enable_miracast.zip"? because it leaves me in a bootloop with my moto g.

After looking how to do it with my firmware (i think all the framework-res.apk aren't the same between the moto g models around the world), i managed to extract my framework-res.apk and followed the guide below:

https: / / github.com/kensuke/How-to-Miracast-on-AOSP/wiki/config_enableWifiDisplay (i cant post links)

here is the path of the file to modify in the moto g: "\ res framework-res \ \ values ​​\ bools.xml"

however I am not sure if through the "apktool" tool i did it right.

First I made the Apk file with "apktool b framework-res.apk" of the folder, then I did a flash.zip of the apk, but when I flash it, it happens the same with the attachment of this topic (use the same enable_miracast.zip provided by tillaz but replacing the framework-res.pk that i built)

I'm not sure if you understand what im trying to explain.

sorry for my poor english :p

if Moto G executable root & remount, miracast enables editing build.prop text file.

but Moto G implementation, build.prop debugging disabled maybe.

$ adb root

$ adb remount

$ adb pull /system/build.prop

(add persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 to build.prop)

$ adb push build.prop /system/

$ adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop

$ adb reboot

Can confirm this works. You can edit the build.prop any way you like, e.g. directly using Root Explorer or similar app. Search for the above mentioned line

persist.debug.wfd.enable=0 ... by default it is 0, change it for 1 and that´s it.

Could this mean we will be able to use a Miracast dongle and have this functionality finally?

This now comes as part of KitKat so perhaps it'll work better with no modding necessary,maybe someone will give it a go and see.

To be honest my main usage for a miracast would be to play movies from local drive to the TV. I could live with the loss of wi-fi for the duration if needed. I use USB OTG to store the video files as one solution.

I'm happy to say that miracast does work with the build prop edit. I know I'm not the first but I've confirmed it using my Tronsmart Adapter. It works perfectly with nexus 7 2013 but even after editing build prop I still had trouble with my moto g. I accidentally edited the wrong build prop too and turned off my radio. But I fixed that.

I'm not sure how everyone's miracast works but mine I have to go to miracast display mode in the app and it will ask me to connect to wi-fi. For some reason I always have to forget connection and type in password. Then it takes me back to the previous screen asking me to turn it on. Again, I have to forget the wi-fi connection and re-enter password. That's how I do it with my nexus 7 2013 and click the next screen to connect to miracast.

There is one extra step for the moto g. Once I've connected the second time I go into wi-fi direct settings. I click on my SSID which is "Tronsmart" and it says "invite sent". Then I go back to the wi-fi page and proceed to the cast page. It takes a while but it says connecting and sometimes I have to click it again but then it connects.

This is probably way too much effort for a miracast adapter, but I got the cheapest one apparently. But it works. I was testing out youtube videos this morning, vudu, and surprisingly Sonic 4 Ep 1 had NO latency issues during gameplay. I was really surprised I tested out tons of games on my nexus 7 2013 and there is always a delay. But the app did get an update so I might need to try it on the nexus again.

The only downside is occasionally there is a slight pause, then it proceeds. Also, youtube for some reason has lower quality videos even with HQ or HD. It looks beautiful on the phone but not so much on the tv. Browsing the web was fast too, there was no latency like on my nexus 7 2013.

Unfortunately, Google Play Movies wasn't working said something about not being secure. Netflix worked but only the sound came from the tv not the display. So I have to look into that.

And I get tired of hearing people say "Oh, just get a chromecast.". I don't have internet where I live. I live in sort of the middle of nowhere. Chromecast won't work for me, and not everyone has unlimited or fast home internet. But with this, I can use my t-mobile data which is unlimited and cast it to the tv. I'm going to probably get a PTV3000 Miracast Adapter. I heard it works better.

Thank you guys so much for discovering how to make this work. It's not perfect, but it works. Now I wanna play around with the build prop editor more.
[Moto G Accessories] wolfen69:
Who's fault is that? Mine? If you live in an area that doesn't have internet, deal with it. 99% of people on this earth DO have some sort of internet. If you're tired of hearing "just get a chromecast" then stay off the forums. It seems you've solved your problem, so go about your business.
[Moto G Accessories] maxvsmith:
I am dealing with it. By using my phone as internet. Otherwise, I'd have none. You are partially correct that I live where I am because I chose to. But that doesn't mean I, nor should others, not be allowed to have internet access.

It's not just XDA. It's everywhere. If you google search miracast when people ask questions about it or try to get it to work that's the default answer. "Miracast sucks. Buy chromecast." It's not just the limited internet connection or no internet connection too. Chromecast cannot MIRROR the display from an android tablet or phone. And some people specifically want that functionality. I know people say chomecast will get that soon. But soon isn't here yet. I wasn't trying to call you or anyone else out, I was just voicing a frustration.

And I was also trying to help people to get this working for them.
[Moto G Accessories] wolfen69:
BTW, you CAN get internet via satellite dish, if you so wanted to. There's always a way. And you're probably not helping many people, if any at all, since most people have internet access. You're in the extreme minority.
