Bricked samsung from this app... Fixes still needed

So i reflashed the correct official firmware to my bricked samsung galaxy tab s 10.5 which bricked after installing and running this app...

The tablet boots now, but when the homescreen pops up an error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped",

and an 'ok' button is there...

NOW FIXED with factory reset.

Sounds like this app would probably work for me,

might try again one day and actually load chromecast (not standard mirror which didnt work),

but the verdict would be to be careful on samsung tablets, and only click mirrorenablers 'mirror' option,

not the other 2.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
The third one should be fine, it's very odd that the second option doesn't work. I have tested on a number of devices and the device boots even with the file completely missing.
[Google Chromecast] hyyuga:
Well anyway, here is the logcat after freezing..

Just tried on Moto G 4G with version 5 and have got a Blackscreen of death.

Which files are changed and where are the backups located so one can restore the phone to bootable state. Thanks in advance.

Can't get adb working atm either so can not get log.

Sorted i removed the libhackyworkaround.so and the libaudiopolicyconf.so files and i am booting again. Now time to hunt the libaudiopolicyconf.so from stock rom of phone to replace it.

[Google Chromecast] xdasup:
Please can you answer this!!

I have been trying to get an answer for a month but haven't heard anything - don't know what happens to my posts..

Do you have a fix for the Galaxy S3 issue (D2LTE) wherein, enabling the Force Close option messes up all bluetooth functionality and also borks the streaming apps..

The app is just wonderful for us guys who have been left in the dust by Google but it will really be great if you can take a look at this issue..
[Google Chromecast] R77:
I tried verison 5 and got an error about audio submix, also when I tried to connect to the cast screen in the chromecast app I got an error saying Google play services has stopped. And I tried the other version's and I didn't get any error about the audio submix, the only error I get is the Google play services has stopped for version's 4, 3, 2, and 1?
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
The only file changed in the actual system itself is

/system/etc/audio_policy.conf

, which you can find a backup of at

/system/etc/audio_policy.conf

. Sorry to hear about that issue and I hope you get it all worked out!

It sounds like your device isn't compatible. The audio submix "error" isn't really an error, it's just a warning if you read it. It states that based on some research done, your device may not work with the #MirrorEnabler.

Audio.r_Submix help

Hi

I am a bit of a noob with this stuff. I have the urge to cast and I will not rest until it happens!

Where do i get the audio.r_submix.default.so for the nook hd+? (I am running cyanogen jelly bean 4.3.1)

Thanks for all your work on this!

-Milli
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
It's more than just adding a file, the file must be "baked" into the ROM - essentially compiled in - so you need to ask the maintainer of your specific ROM to add it. Or compile the ROM yourself, but you said you're a noob, so that's probably something for later down the line. :)

Help w/Nook HD+

Hi...I threw 10.2 on my nook hd+ a few months ago. I don't remember how to do anything, it's a miracle i got it working. i need to keep jelly bean to keep my cable provider app working so i can watch tv on it. do you know how/where I get the audio.r_submix.default package from and how i load it on the device?

thank you for your patience! i have a bad urge to cast and it can not be controlled. must. cast. to. chromecast!
[Google Chromecast] badtzo:
I can't get this working on MI2 the app seems to work because I can see cast to chromecast option but when I try it my Google play services stopped and then chromecast go back to main screen and phone disconnect.

I'm on Ivan's CM11 based rom .

Here is the logcat, hope you can take a look on it.
[Google Chromecast] milli2010:
Thank you sir, may I have some more?

...I saw in some posts it has to be "baked"...does that mean I have to load an upgrade?

Other folks are reporting they have gotten mirror to work on the Nook HD+ (v 11, not 10.2) so does that mean the keeper baked it for them and if so how do I find this baked thing, do I need one baked for 10.2 specifically, and how do i load it on my Nookie? I never do upgrades bc I always see people saying waaah I fried my nook. Is it an upgrade?

How do I know who the ROM maintainer is? I think its someone named verygreen who I emailed but I don't know if that's the guy or if he answers?

I backed this nook up when I built it but I can't remember what I did. I assume I should back it up again before doing anything to it, assuming I can find what I am supposed to do to it. Rats.

Noobie goobie goo. I appreciate your patience.

Thanks,

Milli

[Google Chromecast] djh816:
Perfect. Thanks again!
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Its supposed to. I forgot to add three little tiny lines of code to fix that, though. Right now, it will only let you enable after closing and reopening. To disable, you must open the app, enable, then click disable. Enabling it when it's already enabled will cause no harm. :)
[Google Chromecast] nikotine81:
Works on sony z1c very well,but it is possible to set different resolution to a non rooted chromecast?? Because cast the screen works but on a movies stream with mvx player or the stock sony movie player,the resolution loose little quality on tv,we see more pixels,so if it will be possible to force 1080p resolution with cast of screen it will be fantastique ! Test with a sony z1 compact on 4.4.4(last firmware) stock and rooted

[Google Chromecast] redrum77:
Thank you. Working on Xperia z 4.4.2 rooted!!!!!!
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Simple answer: Most google apps read from a file (/data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db, to be exact) and this app just changes one value in that file that makes the Chromecast app think whatever device you're using, no matter what it is, is officially supported by mirroring. Source can be found at https://github.com/r3pwn/MirrorEnabler if you're interested.

Samsung Galaxy Relay 4G w/ CM 11

Just popping in to say that v5 works fairly well on T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Relay 4G running Cyanogenmod 11 (11-20140803-UNOFFICIAL-apexqtmo).

Its a little touchy, but if you don't scroll too fast or too often it does alright. Watched a YouTube video with a little bit of hicuping now and then.

Can't seem myself really using it so this is just more for reference.

Just had to enable the Force-close Fix and make suer there weren't too many other WiFI devices near it and the Chromecast dongle.

Nicely done!

I finally managed to film my results of the mirror enabler on NeatRom 8.0.

It works but I get very laggy phone respons and mirroring on TV. Delay between phone and TV is about 1.5 seconds.

Videos here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/moq18ctuy0ved3w/AAAFqHsQAuCqgJVrnfu2WufVa?dl=0

Is this a software or a hardware issue?

[Google Chromecast] andrioni:
Same here using S3 with CM11 M10.
[Google Chromecast] cristiano.elias:

it works with the note 8.0 tab that's on the list, but it causes random reboots. i'm running flexnote 3.0 on my note 8. also, it works really great on my galaxy s3 with wicked x 8.0 rom. thanks man.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
My pleasure. :)
[Google Chromecast] anox:
For S3, TW based Roms give much better screen mirroring performance.

For S3, TouchWiz (Samsung) based Roms give much better screen mirroring performance, compared to CM based Roms.

There are a few Samsung based (KK 4.4.2 Note 2 ported) Roms for S3 out there. I tried them and found much smoother screen mirroring. The delay is about 0.5 seconds.
[Google Chromecast] pcm266:
Tested on Asus TF300, running Cyanogenmod

11.2014911-nightly-tf300t Android 4.4.4.

It connects to chromecast, and the program claims to be casting screen, you get the connected prompt/casting screen.

But nothing appears on the tv-screen, just a blank black screen. When I disconnect from chromecast, the

tablet reboots/crashes.

I'm guessing it won't work with this one, tried the fixes too.
[Google Chromecast] CounterC:
And I am even using an S2 *gulp* *gulp*

So it does seem like a software issue.

I read Google is about to release a new Gservices update...

[Google Chromecast] xdasup:
Which ROMs and which variant of S3 do you have?
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Let me test it on one of my devices, as I have the new play services apk, but it should continue to work...
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Yep, nothing changed. This "hack" still works. I'm assuming Google doesn't really care that this exists.

With the Chromecast root, they have content providers that will drop them if their system is not secure. However, this doesn't hack the Chromecast itself, only the device it pairs with. And it probably brings in a little more money for them, too.

People could see this, see their phone on the compatible devices list, and say "Oh, I want a Chromecast now. I've been debating it, but this is the deal breaker for me.".

Is there something I can do to help you understand the problem (logcat)?

The HTC One M8 should work without enabling the FC fix. On the off-chance that it doesn't, try updating/changing ROMs.

I'll try again when I'll change the rom. Thank you anyway.

Is this an ATT or TMO version of Galaxy S3? If yes, does the bluetooth function properly when you enable the Force Close fix?

Also, do the streaming apps works after enabling the above mentioned fix?

I have been asking this to everyone as it doesn't work on mine.

Also, is your warranty bit tripped or intact?
