Try v6. It fixes that issue.

If you read the OP, you need to update your device to KitKat. It has always been that way. I changed the app to reflect that in v6 so people would know that it doesn't work on their non-KitKat device.

Mirror enabler will stop Wifi on Galaxy Nexus running CM M11

Mirror Enabler was working on my GN with CM M11.

I could mirror the screen on the TV through Chromecast latest version.http://cdn3.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/redface.gif

But after that I was not able to connect to any Wlan any more . http://cdn3.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gifThey are shown but are not in reach anymore. So I had to install

CLEAN

a M11 again. To make the phone working again in old fashion it took me several hours.

Any suggestions what is going wrong??
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Making you not able to connect to WLAN sounds unusual (but not impossible, I guess). Try following the guide at the end of the post related to audio issues, and do not check the 2nd box. That is what is causing your issue. If for some reason you accidentally check the second option again, you can boot into TWRP, wipe > advanced wipe > uncheck all but system > swipe, then install your cm11 m11 build. This would allow you to keep your data.

not working

I have a rooted samsung galaxy tab 3 7 inch from sprint. Model SMT-217S . It has been rooted and verified, running kit kat 4.4.2. I have tried all versions of mirror enabler apk. The mirroring seems to begin, I see the cast screen window on my tv but after like 3 - 5 secs. tablet says disconnecting and it disconnects from chromecast. Is there any known fix, anyone having same problem, maybe a hardware limitation ? Any help, answers would be truly appreciated.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
I have the same problem on my Kindle Fire HD 7" running CM11, but have no idea whatsoever how to fix.

I know that, on my device, at least, it's not 100% a hardware limitation because there is a (one) ROM that allows for it. None of the others do.
[Google Chromecast] hebatsoroo:
I already use v6 but screen mirror option still not appear on my chromecast app
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
What device are you running it on? And are you rooted?
[Google Chromecast] pseudopsyche:
I'm trying to install v6 on the new Moto X (2014) running 4.4.4, and rooted.

I am unable to click the "Install" button when running the apk. I can cancel the install. Haven't had issues installing other apks yet, so I'm not sure what's preventing me from starting the install.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Is it just grayed out?
[Google Chromecast] pseudopsyche:
No, it still appears like normal. I'm simply unable to select it. Screenshot attached.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
That's odd... Do any previous builds work?
[Google Chromecast] pseudopsyche:
Nope. Just went through and tried them all. It's really strange. I've never had this kind of issue before.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Try installing another apk (from anywhere, of anything).
[Google Chromecast] pseudopsyche:
Ah, found the culprit. For some odd reason the SnowBall app is preventing me from installing apks while it is running. Got v6 installed and it's working great, thanks!
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
I'm glad you found what was causing the problem! I'll add it to the devices list once I get back inside..

Not Working?

Hey guys total noob here. Sorry if I'm asking about information that's already been addressed but I can't figure out how to make this work for the life of me.

I'm running CM11 on my RAZR M and every time i try to cast my screen the phone just locks up and reboots. Tried to get a logcat of what's going on but nothing about chromecast shows up in the file.

Anyone know what the potential problem might be? / ways I could address this?

[Google Chromecast] goallas:
thanks for answering!

yes its kitkat 4.4.4 installed v.6 but still wont show up in chromecast app:eek:

sorry its 4.4.2

mirror status and quicksettings mirror enabled...
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
I just checked and it looks like you're using an x86 device (Intel Atom chip), which I have not added support for mirroring because most modern android phones/tablets use ARM chips (SnapDragon, OMAP, Allwinner, etc.). I have no idea if x86 would work with mirroring at all, and if it did, I don't know how good/bad it would be (lag-wise)

i see! so there is not much hope for me i guess.... but thanks anyway, its a great tool, using it on my oneplus one. i´ll wait for the chromecast app then
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
See my reply right above your last post (the one about x86 and Intel Atom chips). They are in the same boat as you...
[Google Chromecast] hebatsoroo:
oh I see.maybe someday you gonna develop this app to work in x86 architecture like other app can working too in x86
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
It would be more than just the app I would need to make x86-compatible. I would need to compile x86 SQLite binaries and package them with the app (I already do this for ARM, in case the device doesn't have SQLite).

.apk file

I'm only marginally tech savvy. I have downloaded the v6 .apk file onto my Windows 7 PC. What are the steps to install it on my KitKat tablet? Thanks.
[Google Chromecast] Gobitodich:
Works!!!

on XIAOMI MI4 the v6 works great!!!! :laugh:
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
You can actually download it directly on your tablet and be sure "Allow Installation of Applications from Unknown Sources" is checked. You can find it under Settings > Security. But if you rooted via Towelroot, that option should be enabled already (Unless you manually went back and disabled it).
[Google Chromecast] Mad07:
I've test also the latest CM11 for the A510 (not the latest version for other devices), because this is the only available Rom which include the Audio.r-submix.default.so file. After using the V6, I can see, that the possibility for mirror is given, but If I enable only option 1 (and maybe 3) I see the same effect. No pic on TV, but the connection to the CC is interrupted. If I add option 2 and try it again, the Tab crashed and restart. Same result with the z-kernel. I'll believe, that there is a) still something to repair (CM and z-kernel with the same problem, or there is still a bug somewhere in a driver.

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

This must be new or only valid for specific devices. I've root the P905 also with Towelroot, but needed V6 and add. the audio frame work patch.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
I was referring only to the unknown sources option in settings. Towelroot itself doesn't affect the mirroring capability of a device.
[Google Chromecast] Windaar:
Hi, I'm a new owner of a chromecast using a acer Liquid e2 phone on android 4.2.2 custom rom called Androium. It's a mtk processor.

I tried and downloaded the version 5 to see if I could enable screen mirroring.

I could install the apk but not use it as it wanted to run on android 4.4.X .

Now I tried to install version 6 but I can't even pass the installation process. Error is this one : analysis error, can't analyse package (I'm translating from French so not really sure I'm exact here)

So is there a way to enable screen mirroring on my device or am i stuck?

Thank you for your help and congratulations for your job (even if not working for me :) ..)
[Google Chromecast] jakmayhopher:
I was wondering if anyone had success using the Asus MeMO Pad 7 me176cx-a1-bk? I have stock root rom, with root permissions and was able to get the application to install, but it doesn't show up in the Chromecast applications when the app is running.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
In v6, I prevented the installation on non-KitKat devices. That is why you are receiving that error. "Unable to parse the package." is the exact error, I believe.

I believe that device uses an x86 processor. (Look up a few posts to see why it might not work on x86 processors) If you guys want, I could *try* to add x86 support, but there's only a 50% chance that enabling would work, and probably even less of a chance that the mirroring itself would work.

Hello r3pwn, my moto g is rooted, but i cant mirror my screen using my ez Cast dongle.

I can mirror my Samsung galaxy note 10.1 screen using allshare cast. The device works.

What can i do to mirror my moto g screen? Hope you can help, havê a n,ice day
[Google Chromecast] 2phazt:
This is only a fix for the chromecast dongle. I also used to have an ezcast dongle and decided to switch from the crappy copy to the original hardware.

And I did not regret this - everything is working directly out of the apps and even mirroring works - quiet laggy...
[Google Chromecast] CounterC:
laggy might be because off your hardware. I had that with my s2 as well. now with my Oneplus everything works fine and fast. what phone do you have?
[Google Chromecast] hugoaap:
Thanks, i didnt notice this was chromecast only fix... Oh how i regret buying this dongle..
[Google Chromecast] 2phazt:
I have got a S3 but with my wifes Note2 on stock TW there is only minimal lag and this device has nearly the same hardware - mine is even higher clocked then hers.

So the proprietary Samsung cast works better on their devices than the standard aosp cast - that makes me sad panda ?
[Google Chromecast] CounterC:
What ROM are you using? I read stock Touchwiz performs better for this hack...
[Google Chromecast] 2phazt:
I use the temasek cm11 and will never again use the samsung software and propably also no samsung hardware anymore.

So I have to live with the laggy casting and this is really no dealbreaker for my rom ?
[Google Chromecast] CounterC:
Hehe I was just like you...

Bought a Galaxy S2 back in 2011 because it was the first decent smartphone out here (I thought) and went along with it for 3 years. Was capable of some amazing things but a few weeks ago I switched to the OnePlus. God what have I been doing all these years??? I was so frustrated that I will never use Samsung again. These days there are so many better smartphone makers than Samsung out there that they have dissapeared from my radar...
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
(Replying to both posts simultaneously)

I have been looking for a new phone (I'm in desperate need of an upgrade, I have a flip phone that I've had for almost 3 years now, I have had it since before I got into Android) and the Samsung Galaxy S5 wasn't even on my list of choice phones. I was torn between the G3, the Note 3, and the M8. After ruling out the Note 3 due to TouchWiz and the lack of a bootloader exploit, I dropped it from my list. I was leaning more towards the M8 because it was the only one on that list with a bootloader exploit (at the time). With the recent "Bump!" exploit, I have decided to get the G3. Hopefully I will be able to get it in the coming months. :D

I would have jumped all over the OPO, but I'm on Verizon. :/

Mixed Results

I first installed N2a's KitKat conversion to my Kindle Fire HD, initial version. Then I installed your Mirror. It works, kinda. I am able to get the mirror working but it seems not to be permanent as I have to re-initiate it and Chromecast every time I want to mirror and then reboot. If I want to uninstall Mirror, how do I go about doing it? Thanks.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Disable any options you enabled in my app then uninstall it.
[Google Chromecast] igloo77055:
Thanks for the app, it works great on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5

I do have a question, although this may be beyond the scope of your application, is it possible to get audio from both the device and chromecast working simultaneously?

I was planning on streaming games with this online, and while it works, it's kind of annoying to either not be able to hear the game, or have a 1 or 2 second delay especially for rhythm games.

Thanks!
[Google Chromecast] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the TabS stream to chromecast natively without the need for this app or root? In fact it was demoed at the Google I/O.
[Google Chromecast] gksmith:
I am having issues. I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 running a rooted stock rom. I enabled mirroring in the app and tried the the other two options. In all cases, after I start casting in Chromecast, my tab seems to lock up and eventually reboots. My TV will show me my screen, usually the Cast Screen from Chromecast an I'm unable to do anything until the tab reboots.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Try the method at the end of the post to enable Chromecast mirroring via the AllShare Cast app (or whatever it's called) on your device.
[Google Chromecast] kopower:
Trying to get this working on my Hisense Sero Pro. I see I need the fix for it to work on this tablet. Does that mean it will be baked into the rom, or is there something I can do to fix it? I'm running the Gummy 4.4.2 rom, and the casting disconnects almost instantly. I tried to do some searching in this thread, but I am lost on how to apply the fix. Thanks for any help.

galaxy note pro is crashing

My galaxy note pro keeps crashing every time I hit the screen casting button!

The tv shows me the screen of my note but after a second or so my note stops working until the screen gets dark and then reboot!
[Google Chromecast] Moscow Desire:
For you folks having crashes and FC's, you need to be attaching some "logcats", otherwise it's almost impossible to get things fixed.

If you don't know how to logcat, you can get a simple app from the Play Store.

A logcat file is the single most important tool for a developer. Without it, saying things like "it crashes", "it force closes" "it doesn't work"..... mean absolutely nothing, especially when the dev doesn't own your specific device.

A logcat (or sometimes a dmesg if it's a kernel issue) gives a clue about where the issue is.

Brick on SM-P600 (Galaxy Note 10.1 2014)

Just a warning to everybody, rp3wn correctly entitles this as EXPERIMENTAL. Listen to that, as I did not.

As ScreenMirroring was broken on my Note 10.1 2014 after root, I attempted to restore this feature via this app, but to no avail. I then activated the two other options in the app and rebooted, and now my device hangs after the Samsung animation with just the logo on the screen.

As I understand it, I will need to try to try to get a stock rom for the device and flash that via odin, and I'm sure I can find some instructions for this on the net, but now I'm just dreading trying to find a rom-image for my device (no way to know what was on it exactly before) and then having to re-install everything...

If I missed a better/simpler way of restoring functionality to my device, I'm all ears and very grateful for any pointers in the right direction.

rp3wn, please, add a list of devices which are known to brick in certain situations, as I read at least a Tab S has also bricked, had I read that (page 180 or so of the thread) I would not have touched this.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Added (yet another) warning about the second option. I'm pretty sure there's an in-app warning (but who looks at those, anyways?).
[Google Chromecast] imforumman:
Ok, up till three last night, tablet is alive again.

In-App there is no warning, much less an explanation as to what each option does and for which hardware/software it is meant.

Good luck with this patch, hope it helps many!
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Oh, I meant I added a warning to the OP. I was tired so I forgot to add those words to my post...
