So does this just change the device flag in build.prop so that the cast function is available? I changed my build.prop to nexus 5 and got the same results using "cast screen" (google play services fc) as using this app with the unmodified one.

Hi!

Your app works perfectly on Sony Xperia ZL Thanks for your time.

Update the list of compatible phones.

Great Job.
[Google Chromecast] Idan73:
One thing to note for note 8 device. Due to it being 1280x800 display (neither 720 or 1080), it does not scale perfectly on big screen. Noticeable text defects, and generally, not as sharp as sgs5 and g2.

Also noticed you have note 2 as not working. I know for a fact it is working with stock firmware and xposed on my friends phone.

[Google Chromecast] runandhide05:
Simple answer is nope.

Long answer is.

What this app dose is adds a new name to the database file for the Google play services. Because the database file is located in the /data it requires root access to access the file located at

/data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db

Then it adds the new name of

gms:cast:mirroring_enabled

With the new value set to true

It then force stops both processes and reboots for the new db entry to take effect

So for those of us that are having fc for google play services, this boils down to the hardware decoding not being present?

Alright so I have a S4 running the latest TriForce ROM and I can't get the Cast Screen to work even with this app. It won't even give me the Cast Screen option and I have the latest version of the chromecast app along with updated Google play services. What's the step by step process that you guys are using with this app and chromecast? Just wanna make sure I'm not doing it wrong.

Mirror enabler v2

Worked!

I later installed mkernel r69 as well and still works.

I ran mplayer with custom codec and works decent.. I did get a little lag but nothing too serious.. No crashes!

Recommend not to have too many apps running while trying to play a video with mplayer or any other just in general.. This device is a little older and only has the tegra 3 with 1 gig of ram.. I'm smoothly running mine at 1500 MHz max. Haven't tried it any higher than that...

[Google Chromecast] pogi1100:
I had the exact same issue on my Nexus 5 (which is officially supported). This might be a bit late, but this is to all those folks whose Google Play Services are crashing. This has been found to be caused by Viper4Android. Try dirty flashing your ROM and you will find that Screen Casting works flawlessly. However, as soon as you install the Viper4Android flashable zip with its lib files, you will get that crash. If you want both Screen Casting and Viper, you can install it using the standalone apk. There is also another flashable zip that an XDAer made that takes out DSP Manager and installs Viper to priv-app without the lib files. Viper works the same without the lib files.

Try flashing the zip made by [MENTION=5052420]AndrasLOHF[/MENTION] from this post instead of the official one. Note that you may need to wipe /system (using the advanced wipe option in TWRP/CWM) and reflash your ROM if you've installed the official V4A zip or else Poweramp's equalizer (actually, the whole ROM's equalizer system) will not work properly.
[Google Chromecast] bjcoenen:
I have viper4android installed on my note 2 and am mirroring to chromecast perfectly. GPS hasn't FC once. But I also had it installed though the viper app and not through a zip flashed in recovery. Also for anyone wondering I'm using agi-kernel. Not that it matters just thought I'd share.

Tested on galaxy s3 international . slimkat. google play services crashed . connecting to Chromecast stuck. Black screen
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Ok what I can confirm here....Droid 4 using CM11

Script does stop the GServices from crashing but it does require sqlite to be installed to work. (not an issue and stated clearly by the Dev)

Cast Screen in Settings does not work and does not show any CCasts (CM related I believe!)

Cast Screen in CCast app does work, GServ does NOT crash and it attempts to connect, See a black screen on the CCast but in a few seconds it disconnects.

This problem is probably unrelated to the Script here but more a problem of the Hardware (Droid4 is pretty old in Android Hardware terms) and either the Hardware itself is incapable (lacks the Kernel and Tegra chipset required I'm not sure) or there is something about this particular CM build that is the problem.

In any case good job by the Dev here!

I got closer to mirroring than I had to date!

The newest app version. Have you checked whether it is 1.7.4? you most likely are not able to get it via the playstore..

To OP:

The Galaxy Note II (gsm international) can't connect to screen mirroring via AOSP based roms. It works with touchwiz due to some proprietary stuff I guess as others mentioned already.

Sadly it slows the device quite a bit and there is also a not too small amount of lag ~430ms. and half a second feels like a lot

Little bit of lag & the picture seems to get progressively worse as you move around using the launcher or any app really, gets kind of blocky looking, not sure if that's must more to do with my network or the way this is casting achieved?

Chromecast running firmware 17250

DOES work with audio.

WiFi signal above 2 bars is a very fluid experience with about a half second or little less delay from tablet to screen. Audio is mostly smooth and in sync with occasional small dropouts (I blame my WiFi/router.)

WiFi signal below 2 bars seems to cause massive lag, audio stuttering, and eventual disconnection, even though tablet still thinks it's casting. Once it disconnects this way, the only way to cast again is to reboot the tablet, as the disconnect button in notifications and the Chromecast app does nothing.

Checklist:

Make sure Chromecast is build 17250 or newer

Make sure phone/tablet is rooted

Download and install/update the newest MirrorEnabler from the opening post.

Make sure Google Play Services is updated.

Reboot Chromecast

Reboot your phone

Run the Chromecast app again

Make sure Media volume is turned up before starting screen casting. Then try turning TV volume up. The sound volume tends to be lower than you would expect.

Probably due to bandwidth. Remember that if your phone/tablet is on WiFi, you're doubling up on the bandwidth usage - phone/tablet->AP, then AP->Chromecast

I think its obvious at this point from the massive input from all ends that the majority of users are aware of what the requisites are. The common denominator has to be GPS itself or something ROM side. An update to the app will probably yield more devices successful. I know there has to be an experienced Dev out there who knows about procedural calls and stuff to know what GPS is looking for when a device initiates mirroring. Its like its missing a resource of some kind.
