I have a working developer account so I could, but I haven't due to the large number of people with Play Services Force-Closes, I wouldn't want that to give the app bad ratings.
[Google Chromecast] tr0teK:
True. I can understand that. I hope there is a way to fix it soon.

[Google Chromecast] rekids:
Thank you r3pwn for the work you are putting into this and not putting an app out on play store with there being a few with FCs. There are enough devs out there who have put half completed apps out that just frustrate users and have them installing useless stuff to get an app and end up with them still uninstalling them in the end.

What might be an option is if the app is installed and ran the first time it does a check list on screen with what is required to run and allows users to see if they are able to use it with their set up.

Again thanks working on the Moto Maxx w/root and 4.4.4 and custom recovery.

Should be same for the Ultra as well.

Note2 GPS crash info

Note 2 from Europe, Exynos processor, 4.4.2 TouchWiz rooted with S5 addons (based on N7100XXUFNC2), Google Play Services version 5.0.84 (1259630-036)

Google Play Services force-closes.

Here's a logcat:

http://pastebin.com/rVRAGNBe

I've tried to downgrade GPS - tapping 'uninstall updates' goes to the uninstall progress screen but it sits there for ages and appears to not do anything.

I've downloaded an older version's .apk but it refuses to install.

AFAIK the ROM doesn't have any viper stuffs in: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2707431

Note 2 people who have it working, can you report the versions of all the above please? I used CPU-Z from the Play Store to check if the processor is Exynos. Although it shouldn't matter as I'm running a Touchwiz ROM.
[Google Chromecast] Krisshp:
Will this work on Jelly Bean? 4.2.2???
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
Wise move.

Would be nice to filter out, "Five stars! I can't wait to try it!" along with, "I wish I could give this -1 stars because you don't care, you just make it need root."

Anyway - many thanks for the cool solution.

I grabbed it just because you made it and didn't see (from months before) what use I'd have for screen casting - until I decided to grab Snapseed and try some photo editing from the comfy couch without having to schlep over to my laptop, plug in, transfer, fire up heavyweight tools, etc etc etc.

For editing cell phone photos, this + Snapseed is really a winning combination.

Nicely done, amigo, very nicely done.

Honorable mention to Google for the beta feature. Works really well for 1080p to 1080p.

That's possible. But it could be also a difference in the Rom itself. A other configuration for the note 2. But yea he may be right actually
[Google Chromecast] Flowah:
It seems that certain devices that shipped with TW can only use this on TW. However it does seem like some specific devices like the S4 can be on AOSP ROMs and still have this work.

The S3 is one that needs TW based on responses so far. The Note 2 as well.

Chromecast disables Sprint TV

I'm running Note 3, rooted, Sacs Custom Rom v4. The Chromecast dongle and app work flawlessly right out of the box. I'm able to "cast" the screen (with audio) of anything and everything... Except Sprint TV. Sprint TV sees the Chromecast connection as an HDMI connection and terminates the connection. My goal is to subscribe to Sprint TV to gain access to Fox News and Fox Business and then beam the programming to my big plasma. Any ideas?
[Google Chromecast] Dro_Mayne:
Switched to the SOKP 4.4.4 ROM and used the mirror app and now I have cast screen. Has a very slight lag but that could be from my internet connection. Also the sound is an octave higher than it should be.
[Google Chromecast] paulodeleo:
Hi,

Short version:

I have a Moto G 4G edition that can cast screen to chromecast without root, hacks or the chromecast app, as long as it stays at factory version of everything: android 4.4.3 and google play services 4.3.25. Maybe this info can help bringing mirror to everyone, now, without root.

Video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_uGqNwYPSQ

Now, the long version:

I just bought a new Moto G phone, 8GB single SIM with 4G/LTE, Brazilian edition and, to my surprize, the cast screen option shows up and works every time, without any hacks, not root, not even the chromecast app needs to be installed.

I found it interesting because Moto G is not one of the models that Google officialy supported for the cast screen to chromecast feature at first, and I noticed that after a Google Play Services update, the "feature" was gone, like it "should" be.

So, I investigated a litte to document why I think it works for this phone right now. Maybe this information can be useful for others.

The cast screen options only shows if the google play services is the one that came with the phone, version 4.3.25. As of today, Google+ and Hangouts request it to be updated to version 5.0.84 to work. At this version, the cast screen option is not shown and if acessed by going to "Settings, Display, Cast Screen", no chromecast devices are detected.

I have other Moto G, the older one, 16GB dual SIM, already updated to android 4.4.4 that can't cast screen. I think that it is because of the minimun version of google play services that is newer than the one of versuon 4.4.3.

So, anyone out there wants / can test this version of google play services to confirm my theory? I don't know if the apk can be installed alone but I extracted it from the phone I have the cast screen working: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2GrmBw0Jk8_RjFDcTcwUGpqZEdJbkdOT18wZjhWTmo2aDF3/edit?usp=sharing

[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Sounds like it's an intentional check to prevent working around a real TV subscription so you'd need something that can hide the HDMI connection from the app, similar to how Root Cloak (or Root Cloak Plus) hides root using Xposed (or Cydia Substrate).

Internet connection speed should have no bearing on cast performance. Available Wi-Fi bandwidth, router performance, device Wi-Fi signal strength, and Chromecast Wi-Fi signal strength will limit things, along with your device's ability to keep up with whatever Cast Screen requires in addition to whatever you're running that you're casting. Ideally you should have your device use 5 GHz Wi-Fi to avoid filling the 2.4 GHz band that Chromecast uses.

Ideally it will be smooth with approximately half a second lag. But see the performance factors above. :)

When I enable the mirroring with your app, the Chromecast app shows correctly the mirroring function but when I try to activate it, the app sees my Chromecast device and try to connect, my TV goes black for a little while but suddenly Google Play Services crashes and then the app disconnects again.

Advices? Maybe I can try another rom if it's that the problem...

I tried using the apk on my galaxy s3 (running cm11 m3 d2att) and didn't have any luck! I have also tried the screen cast option that's available in CM and the "mirror. Apk" but still nothing.

I also saw that for the already tested devices that my device (galaxy s3) works but STOCK. If this is true, can someone please confirm? If this does work on stock only I am a more than happy to switch back to TouchWiz... Miss the camera too! Lol.
[Google Chromecast] Flowah:
There have been numerous people in this thread and on Reddit that have US versions of the S3 and on TW ROMs reported it working. I'd say it's pretty confirmed. At worst you just make a backup and restore.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Yup, confirmed it works on AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 stock rooted, NE4 firmware (KitKat 4.4.2) - remember that you

cannot

downgrade bootloader from NE4 (KitKat) or MJB (JellyBean) - attempting to do so will brick your phone.
[Google Chromecast] nelsonw:
well on my I9300 didn't work on some based CM11 ROM. But it works on QS ROM based on 4.4.2 NoteII port, not ArchiPort. It seems in ArchiPort (also based on Note2 port) it didn't works. So, AFAIK is ROM/Kernel related. Some libs that CM don't have/use.

So [MENTION=4732871]r3pwn[/MENTION], if you need some testing from me, just ask. Thanks!

Some odd thing, it uses all share cast to cast videos, for example.

Hi, I'm testing my theory. I installed CM 11 clean from scratch. It comes with an outdated GPS version 4.3.25 and the chromecast shows on settings without this patch, but it FCs.

So I installed this patch and tryied to cast with chromecast app and it FCs. So, I need to wait for my S3. :(

[Google Chromecast] loc626:
So after doing a little research, I think I understand now.

In order for this to work with my S3,my bootloader needs to be I747UCUFNE4. Right now it is i747ucuemjb.

So.... Even though I am running a rom that is 4.4.2 (CM11) i can't use this app because of my bootloader.

Is this correct?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Possibly. There seems to be some dependence on something in the TouchWiz core. There is a NE4 upgrade thread - you would be able to follow it since you're still on MJB bootloader.

Definitely use TWRP, the tested recovery version is linked in the thread. I think a few people tried CWM and had issues so I wouldn't chance it.

I actually installed a stock ROM last night and it worked out of the box... Someone on reddit experimented and thinks it's working on the 2012 n7 until Google play services updates.

So it's possible there is another change you can add to this (another modification to gps) which means that having the chromecast app is no longer a requirement.
