Google recently released an update for chromecast enabling screen cast on supported devices.

Unfortunately, Moto X is not one of the lucky ones :(

But an user in a Moto X brazillian G+ community, found out that downgrading Google Play Services to factory version enables the option for us!

I just tried myself and for my surprise, it actually WORKS!

Depending on what you're mirroring, it's kinda laggy by now, but you may try yourself. Audio also works! :good:

Vinicius Costa was who made the discovery.

Checkout the post in G+ and a few screenshots and photos:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/+DanielWilliamTR/posts/QphJc1qNetB?cfem=1

EDIT1: Is not really practical downgrade GPS (for day to day use) as it breaks a lot of Google apps. This is only a workaround to enable screen cast while we don't get official support.

EDIT2: I just made a video demonstration of cast screen in my Moto X, the audio is in portuguese, but you can ignore that.

http://youtu.be/9pFlsmqH-Q4

EDIT3: A xda developer released an app that enables mirroring by adding an entry in Google Play Services database (no need to uninstall gps updates).

Sweet. Can't wait to mirror NFL red zone to my TV...

I hope the audio quality is good. Could be my only hope for Slacker radio.
[Moto X General] abuttino:
Someone in the Chromecast forum said they modded the build.prop file and got it to show without downgrading anything..
[Moto X General] sorullo_xgrx:
My guess they change model name in build.prop to one of those devices already support it. That could be a better work around
[Moto X General] xxBrun0xx:
Could you change your build prop to get the new version of the app from the play store, then once working, change it back? My fear is that changing your build prop will break things like Motorola apps and Google wallet, which can be picky about your build prop.
[Moto X General] fndpena:
I think this is worst than downgrading GPS... Changing model name may get you a lot of problems with system and other apps...

I hope there's another workaround other than these two...
[Moto X General] fndpena:
The problem is not about updating the app, you can do this by downloading the apk from androidpolice.

But once updated, it won't show the option to cast screen on Moto X by default.

Please share the link...
[Moto X General] nEUTRon666:
Ok guys, tried this for myself :P

I DON'T have a Moto X, but a Sony Xperia Z2, but the process should be quite the same, i changed this values from my original build.prop:

ro.build.product=D6503
ro.product.brand=Sony
ro.product.name=D6503
ro.product.device=D6503

to:

ro.build.product=hammerhead
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=hammerhead
ro.product.device=hammerhead

I took the changed build.prop variables from a original Nexus 5 build.prop file.

Happy testing :P
[Moto X General] fndpena:
Is that suposed to work even with the latest Google Play Services?

Any FC's ?
[Moto X General] abuttino:
Changing these values crashed Google Play Services for me when I tried last night
[Moto X General] nm3210:
I was able to get it to work basically perfectly (albeit no audio) just by changing my ro.product.device to hammerhead and nothing else. I didn't see the quick option for casting my screen (probably because I'm using GravityBox), but the new ChromeCast app had the option after a reboot!
[Moto X General] fndpena:
Works fine here, including audio and quick option (I also have GravityBox).

But I didn't changed anything in build.prop...
[Moto X General] Roland Stone:
If anybody gets this to cast audio from the Audible Audiobooks for Android App on a Moto X, please let me know! (or even on one of the supported phones, I'd still be curious.)
[Moto X General] nm3210:
I did not downgrade Google Play Services at all though, I didn't even have the option available in the app settings.
[Moto X General] fndpena:
I just made a video: http://youtu.be/9pFlsmqH-Q4
[Moto X General] sunnycheeba:
I did have a working "Cast screen" button from the quick settings menu about 1 month ago which worked for about a week then either a Google Play or Motorola update disabled it. This is on a stock XT1053 connecting to a rooted Chromecast running Eureka ROM; screen mirroring and video both worked but no audio. Settings/Display/Cast screen showed my Chromecast as well. After it not working for the last several weeks I was anxiously awaiting this latest Chromecast Android app update that came out today...but after updating the "Cast screen" option is still not back working on my Moto X. I think it was something changed by Motorola because my 2012 Nexus 7 has had "Cast screen" working from the same time as the Moto X and it has never stopped working.
[Moto X General] ironmaskusa:
The posted video wasn't working, uh unfortunately.. Does anyone have a link to the downgraded Google play servicwa apk file?? It would be greatly appreciated.. I'm trying to get this working on my nexus 7 2012.. I changed the build prop to hammerhead and now get the option to cast screen but it Google play services crashes afterwards.
[Moto X General] fndpena:
You mean the video I posted on youtube? It IS working. Maybe when you tried to watch youtube was processing it.

Here is the version of GPS that worked for me: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2xwvLA6kyxANkxHWEd3S0JWaTA/edit?usp=sharing

Nevertheless, downgrading Play Services can be an alternative for non-rooted devices.

[Moto X General] Pito67:
What Did you do to get Cast screen working on the Nexus 7 (2012)? mine does not have the option.
[Moto X General] sunnycheeba:
I think the reason I was getting "Cast screen" working was because the Chromecasts I am using are rooted and running Eureka-ROM which can use its own whitelist. My Nexus 7 (2012) is completely stock and up to date. I went to test "Screen cast" on the Nexus 7 last night and after working for more than a month it no longer shows the quick toggle and Chromecast is no longer detected in Settings/Display/Cast screen. So it appears that the last Android Chromecast update did something to break its functioning. I am going to contact the devs of Eureka and see if there is anything they can do on their end.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toomuchdogfur:
You mean the LCD works, but theres no light? Well as always, start out with the basics - try holding down the Power button while the LCD is on. The Power button can also be used to toggle the backlight on and off, you see :).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] hvelect:
no sir light working but no display & flasing 100% done
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toomuchdogfur:
OK so the backlight is on, but your screen shows just a blank white... try putting it into bootloader mode by holding the Power + Camera + Soft Reset buttons. If the display just blanks out (no backlight and absolutely nothing on the LCD) then its likely that your LCD is dead, or that its connection inside the phone is loose or damaged (which is unlikely, but I wont rule that out yet).

If it does manage to get into bootloader mode (displaying 'Serial' and 'v1.xx') then you're in luck - its a ROM problem. Try flashing it with another ROM in case the one you have is corrupted.

Hi everyone I recently flashed a rom on my HTC one m8 for at&t (ViperOneM8_1.7.1 rom)

and I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction in terms of how to restore my phone back to

I only have the bootloader unlocked and I have TWRP recovery. I didn't make a backup before I flashed the rom so I can't just restore back into stock.

Thank you for taking the time to read this if someone could at least point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The question I ask is "for what purpose?"

AT&T does not require the phone to be stock in order to fulfill the warranty.

If you simply want to return to the stock AT&T ROM, just flash the stock rooted ROM.

Only valid reason IMO to return to stock is to sell/trade the device.

If you are keeping the device, I don't see a good reason to return to stock. The stock AT&T ROM is gimped, bloated trash. And the same holds true for any OTAs that will be released. Unlocked bootloader, with root and a custom ROM is far superior.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jae2014:
Thank you GermanGuy for the links!

Yeah I want to be able to go back to stock for whenever I sell/trade the device. Also, I was thinking about cancelling my AT&T plan and migrating my phone over to a different carrier like straight talk. I haven't done that before so I don't know if switching to a different carrier becomes harder if I am on a custom rom.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The phone can never be returned to truly stock, in that once the bootloader is unlocked HTC will always have a record of that, linked to the phone's IMEI. Therefore, when selling or trading of the device, you should always disclose to potential buyers that the bootloader was unlocked. Although I agree even with this disclosure, some buyers may want the phone to be as stock as possible.

On some previous HTC devices, the SIM unlock code only worked on Sense based ROMs (but not AOSP) but it didn't matter if it was a custom or stock Sense ROM. I don't see any other reason why being on a custom ROM would affect you switching carriers. Its a smartphone, and works like any other regardless of whether its on a stock or custom ROM. In fact, being on a custom ROM may even make that experience easier, as custom ROMs tend to have multiple carrier APNs pre-configured; and also some features such as personal WiFi hotspot/tethering which are blocked by AT&T (without the proper data plan) are easier to get working on other carriers using a custom ROM.

In any case, the previously linked RUU is what you need to return to (close to) stock.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZCochrane:
I'm running CM11 M8, but I've been having this problem with many previous builds.

Problem is, whenever I'm listening to music using either the Google Music app or Apollo, and I decide to clear the recent tasks list, playback is stopped.

I would assume this was by design, if it weren't for three factors:

1) This post by Diane Hackborn, specifically "uses the new API to tell any services of the application about the task being removed so it can do whatever it thinks is appropriate."

and I should hardly think that stopping playback just cos you're clearing the recent tasks is appropriate. One should be allowed to clear the recent tasks list entirely, and see no change in phone behaviour. The recent task list is not a task manager.

2) This wasn't the way it used to behave (I think circa Jellybean)

3) The Music icon remains in the notification bar even when playback stops.

Is this a bug underlying 4.4.4? Or is a problem with CM only?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
It depends on the music player app.

Shuttle+ continues to play and the notification stays when swiped away from Recents which is why I've stuck with it, and it's a good music player anyways.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZCochrane:
Shuttle is very nice, I might consider migrating to it, why not. Thanks!

But...

I'm still convinced the Google Music app behaviour is buggy and not by design. Once it's swiped from recent tasks and the music stops, pulling down the notification window, the Music app's notification shows the "Pause" button, as if music were being played back. Also, I'd expect Google's own Music app to use the API element onTaskRemoved properly! It's their own guidelines after all!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
In KitKat, the recent apps list is pretty much a task manager. It's not supposed to be, but it is. Your own tests demonstrate that.

Google's music app does not run a service. This is why it gets killed when you swipe it away. Services are restarted when they are killed. Or at least they can be automatically restarted.

Of course, the solution here is to stop your OCD recents swiping :D
