[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Do it from Android 4.1.1 Doesn't work so good now does it?

All your excuses are Software related...Not Hardware!

Can software be made to do it? YES!

No one is questioning your qualifications but you seem to feel the need to note them for us...

Guess what they didn't help you predict the doom of Mirroring on a CCast did it?

So what good are they?

I didn't start this pissing match with you but I will continue as long as you like!

In the end Mirroring can be done on a CCAST! All it takes is software...

And if YOU can't figure out how to make it happen that says more about YOUR programming ability than anything to do with the CCast Hardware!

And before you go spouting off again about how Google has limited the APIs to make it so hard for you to do...

Look back at my original post that set you off and read the section that said the ONLY thing stopping it from happening is Software and GOOGLE ALLOWING IT!

It sure isn't the hardware it already Mirrors a PC and could Mirror an Android in the same way with a little programming effort!
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
Mr. Engineer, if you want to continue the pissing match you started, please drop me a line, I can't imagine anyone wanting to see any more of it.

If I've offended you, I apologize.

Life is too short for thread wars that accomplish nothing. ;)
[Google Chromecast] vinjurr:
we can see CheapCast and LeapCast as software replacement of ChromeCast. thanks
[Google Chromecast] kokler:
...and what about this...

http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/17/chromecast-android-screen-mirroring/
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
Yeah, the videos were posted earlier here.

It looks like he's making excellent progress and everybody is just waiting for the release.

What's the question?
[Google Chromecast] kokler:
Nothing. I just missed that earlier post.
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
Ah ok, so just in case, the latest video showed sound working, pretty cool.
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
Geez... Figured we would have a public beta by now...
[Google Chromecast] Jersey846:
I was discussing this on another thread, but would it be at all possible for him to mirror the cast but have the audio working on the Android device as an option? I'm sure there'd have to be some technology that delays the video or audio for synching purposes, but wonder if this in in the cards.
[Google Chromecast] siratfus:
Need Nexus 5, but at least it's progress.

http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/05/mirror-for-android-chromecast-support/
[Google Chromecast] nolook:
heard audio doesn't work yet but I'm going to try it after i back up...

edit: audio works on my n5... awesome to play pvz2 now need to find my dualshock3...
[Google Chromecast] Johan1976:
It says only Nexus 5 has the needed decoder hardware. Don't they mean encoder? I mean video is not decoded at the phone side, right? Possibly encoded which of course is a demanding task. How is Airplay working? Has Apple used some hardware encoder chip in their products or how is this working so well?

For Miracast enabled devices there should be some kind of encoder chip or?

[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
As linked at the end of the Engadget article -

https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z12xhhtqwnj3w55rs04ccxsypuevhtcwgao

Yes, it's a VP8 hardware encoder.

Apple TV works the same way that the HTC Media Link HD and Samsung Allshare Media Hub do: by being proprietary, more expensive, and purposefully designed to do screen mirroring from a few supported devices.

Koush's solution is mirroring to a device not designed for it and is in a beta form.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Especially when faster-than-realtime is not needed or possible, hardware encoders win. They provide constant speed/performance and a known quantity. Since there's predictable delay on the encoder side, syncing audio from the mirror source device is a closer possibility, though the network lag is still unpredictable - and that's where direct radio-to-radio connections win.
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
That's true, but it's possible that he's used a hardware encoder because he's using WebRTC, the codec of choice for that is VP8 and he has a Nexus 5.

Chromecast - WebRTC - VP8 - Nexus 5: that's a whole lot of Google in that food chain.

Edited to add, for those unfamiliar -

http://www.webrtc.org/faq#TOC-What-codecs-are-supported-in-WebRTC-

Airplay uses H.264 -

http://nto.github.io/AirPlay.html

Miracast also uses H.264 -

http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39...t-everything-to-know-about-mirroring-android/

Miracast uses WiFi Direct, Chromecast does not. That's important to understand when comparing the two.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Likely both. Great choices all around... unless your hardware doesn't have an encoder...

It's a great "Chromecast as an accessory for higher-end devices" story for Google though. :)
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
And hard to say if an MPEG-DASH/H.264 solution will happen.

So far, H.264 screen recording is possible without root, but the only app I've seen that does it has audio issues.

Assuming that one could get H.264 recording with audio to work without root, the dev would have to also provide an MPEG-DASH player according to this -

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19193380/does-chromecast-support-mpeg-dash-now

So while H.264 hardware encoding is more common on Android devices, there's nothing easy about going that route either.

As for VP8 -

I'm not a gamer but from what I gather, gaming is processor intensive. If true then I wouldn't hold out hope that games would run smoothly if VP8 software encoding were employed.

H.264 software encoding took 80% of a 1 GHz Snapdragon S2 (single core) CPU according to Qualcomm when they profiled it, while hardware encoding only took 12%. Assuming that that's a reasonable equivalent for VP8, then I think that software encoding would consume a fair percentage of a CPU core in a more modern device.
[Google Chromecast] TheRicolaa10:
I don't know if it's already said, but you can download the Mirror app if you become a beta tester on G+. Works only on the Nexus 5. I didn't tried it yet because my N5 is not rooted.

Help with sync

Problem: Google Calendar "can't find any calendars to sync".

I just bought a used V510 on swappa. Flashed the deodexed version of this ROM. Everything is fine with it except above issue. Also, in settings I am getting a Google Sync error. When I expand the sync, I see app data, chrome, Contacts, Drive, gmail, And people details. All of these show successful sync. But there is no box/choice for calendar.

Suggestion appreciated.

Edit: I tried numerous "fixes" from a Google search. Clearing cache for calender, contacts, enable/disable airplane mode, log out of Google account/reboot/log back in. Uninstall calender and reinstall. None of that worked. Finally I did a dirty flash of PA gapps and that solved the problem. Not clear why that fixed it, though.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
Is it possible you could make a complete stock backup ROM of v4.4.2 - KOT49H.L004

4.4.3 is set to be released and it may be neccesary to be completely stock for the update. Also, the update may present problems concerning root for some applications. Thank you for your consideration!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] shawn13165:

Clarification Question

It's been a while since I flashed a device (V510, KOT49I.VK81022B) and I just wanted to make sure I've got what I need to do this right.

1. adb reboot recovery

2. select "apply update from adb"

3. adb sideload V510_Modified_Stock.zip

4. adb sideload Calendar fix

5. reboot

That sound about right?

Also which should I use...deodex or odex?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
howdy, thought I should double check. Do you have the v5 10? Or the Verizon model 810 if you didn't buy it from Google Play you don't have the 510 you have the Verizon model. I'm only asking because of what I saw in another post. this ROM will only install on to the Google Play edition.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

also, I wouldn't install this, unless you were using it to upgrade to 4.4. 4.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] MonaLisaOverdrive:
I have the 810, but before I upgraded to 4.4.2 I could've sworn the model # said 510. Anyway, since I don't want to upgrade to 4.4.4, I'll hold off. Thanks for the head's up.

[LG Optimus G Pro] lg-user45:
I would not recommend you to use freegee at moment.

You run danger to end in a recovery loop and then you probably

Have the low battery error on returning back to stock.

[LG Optimus G Pro] cdt82002:
These issues are fixed now in freegee's app. Use twrp if you are going to flash an aosp Rom. CWM if you are going to flash a stock based Rom. CWM 6.0.4.7 fixes the recovery loop issue.

Realizing that many people are having GPS issues (not only hardware) on the N5 and partly due to this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2523341 , I am posting here the GPS config file which should help alleviate most software issues while locking onto GPS Satellites.

It enables AGPS lock with a dirty threshold (much like iPhone) and then keeps improving your position to the nearest metre. So when you open a GPS app you are not in another continent but much nearer to actual location and then keeps getting better within seconds (especially with Open Sky visibility)
