Really cute, and also shows off the potential of the device.

Has anyone tried this with a rooted CC? I don't see any option to cast this to the CC.

Until we get the next PwnedCast update, @Kyonz has to manually update the whitelist for KyoCast.
Since this looks like it went up just yesterday, it probably isn't in the KyoCast whitelist.
But wait... it should still see the Chromecast, it just won't work... I intend to play with this when I get home anyway, so I'll check.

Just updated to Eureka-ROM and Santa Tracker works now!
Looks like there was something post-build 13300 that was required, as the one Chromecast that is still on PwnedCast v1.1 (based on build 13300) doesn't show up in the Santa Tracker app at all, while the one that is updated to Eureka-ROM v1.0 (based on build 14975).

Pandora app

I haven't seen this talked about on here. Justin Angel has created a .xap that streams pandora and acutally works very well. The only thing it doesn't do is run in the background and show the now playing media on the lockscreen. If he could get that working, it would be amazing.
http://twitter.com/#!/JustinAngel/status/123225742199881729
Ahh crap. When the screen goes off it kills the music too. Any tricks to keep that from happening?
Is he Willing to share the source code? ... oh and on a user note, he has his email and password for his Pandora account hard coded
Doesnt Work
It opens up the login screen and after that nothing happens. Anything Missed ?
Word is that he is working on an SDK for it. He tweets about it on his twitter account. I can't wait for this. It's been a long time coming.
Justin has released this for developers:
http://metropandora.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=PandoraSDK#suggestedAPI
As well as this milestone chart:
http://metropandora.codeplex.com/
Installed this on Mango and it opens to the screen were I insert my pandora credentials, then when hitting enter it kicks me out.... .Anyone else have this issue?
thanks
I had a word with Justin on Twitter. He is finalizing the SDK and then head over to make a new App so till then sit tight
will it also work in the countries where pandora doesn't?
It‘s good!Thank you!
crashed at login
crashed at login for me as well.

No. It will check to make sure you are not in a location that is "geo-fenced."
So very new to the whole wp7 thing. How does one download it? Says it is not supported file to download?
MetroRadio
MetroRadio was released on Market but then pulled after only 2 days. This was the first pandora 3rd party app that was built off Justin Angel's SDK (Provided here). I flashed a new rom and know can't find this xap anywhere. Does anyone know where to get it?
Thanks!

Chromecast discoverable just for Youtube?

Hey guys, I was wondering if somebody could give me a hand.
My chromecast ( bought yesterday ) just work with youtube and with the tab cast feature from chrome. I can't get it working with anything else because the cast icon don't appear on those apps, it's like it's not discoverable at all for those apps.
I've done several resets, no luck.
Maybe if I root it? I don't know.
Thanks.

Ok what device and ROM? (I ask about the rom because of your Sinless Sig)
Sounds like something is blocking the ports used to discover the units.
Either you have some security software blocking it, some network config disabled (UPnP, Multicast) or your device (and ROM) is messing with the works.
Can you see it on other devices? How about the Googlecast ext in Chrome?

Yes, I'm using GPE rom for the M7.
I can cast tabs from chrome without a problem.
I'll try to flash another, maybe a sense rom and see if that's the problem :/

I wouldn't go chasing roms as most would not change anything about the networking in most cases...Only a ROM overly obsessed with Privacy and Security would mess with those...
It is probably a networking issue or it could be that whatever your flashing does not have the latest Google Services installed that I believe is required for proper discovery...
But I would expect that to affect YouTube as well...

What make/model is your router?
Almost sounds like AP isolation is on, was it YouTube on phone/tablet, or YouTube in Chrome that worked?
FWIW, root won't change anything, and if you've been playing with it this long it's not rootable, and probably wasn't rootable to begin with anyway.
BubbleUPnP doesn't show a cast icon, you have to select the Chromecast as a renderer under the devices tab of the app.

Well I would notify the Devs that maintain the GPE ROM and let them know that they have a problem with their Networking most notably in regards to mDNS, UPnP or Port Blocking.
Explain what happened to you and see if they can reproduce it.

[APP] [ROOT REQUIRED] Chromecast mirroring (screencasting) works!

The Chromecast only allows certain devices to use it's new mirroring functions. The OPO is apparently not on that list. But, thanks to this handy app, the Chromecast will now recognize my OPO and allow for full mirroring!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
- Install the app and open it.
- Enable "Mirror Status:" and enable "QuickSettings Mirror:"
- Either open the chromecast app, and find mirroring in the left panel, or
- Pull down into your quick settings and see the icon for "cast screen"
There is a small bit of lag, which would mean some games that require split second timing would be hard to play on the big screen, but others work fine, like FIFA 14 for example. Any video site (that doesn't already support Chromecast) will work perfectly as well.
i try this but there is no audio out from my oneplus one only from youtube
Will this make my chromecast work as miracast that allow screen mirroring?

Allcast screens to TV or just PC. We are talking about screen mirroring and not Allcasts normal feature right?
A little easier way (for some)
Thanks for one of the popular and working solutions.. I was just about to apply that and I just wondered what happens if I try "Cast Screen" option in my One with my Samsung Smart TV, and I got it working with little efforts! Here's the thread I posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/howto-oneplus-one-cast-screen-smart-tv-t2938752
Might be helpful for somebody who wants to go an easy way if possible.
Enjoy casting..!

I found a little write up that makes it a lot easier and more stable. First download root explorer go to system folder then build prop. Find
ro.product.device=A0001 and change A0001 to hammerhead and save changes. Now go to settings / display and under cast screen option your chrome cast will now appear then click on it. Now once WiFi on and you pull down quick settings you will see cast option appear.

the only problem is that the screen flickers a bit when you pull down the notifications.

That happened to me once when I was kind of away from the TV or when I thoroughly covered back of my phone. So I assume that would be because of weak Wi-Fi Direct connection between devices. Also, I noticed increase in delays and some jitter in video. So this surely seems like connectivity issue.
May be trying without a case or with WiFi antena area open/unblocked should reflect the improvement.

Apps That Do Not Work with Android 5.0 "Lollipop" official release

There's a thread about Apps That Do Not Work with Android "L" Preview but now that Lollipop official factory image is out, I think it's time to start a new thread.
I've updated my Nexus 5 to Lollipop yesterday and thanks to CF Auto Root and Titanium Backup, I've managed to restore most of my apps' data. So far, the only app that seems to be completely broken is Freedome 1.0.40.1123 (aka F-Secure Freedome VPN). It shows a "Network request failed" error dialog. logcat output is attached, and I've sent their support an email.
Update: Freedome 1.0.41.1142 works fine on Lollipop.
WiFi Web Login 4.1.27 is failing more often then working, but no crashes or stacktraces in logcat. I've already sent them an email reporting this.
Please contribute to this list.
office
Office mobile always asks you to check connection.
Posti (finland) says same as office.
Edit. I am surprised with office, is anyone also having the same issue?
Skiplock
Marked app as incompatible with Android 5+. Due to changes in Android 5.0, it is no longer possible for an app to unlock the device. Thanks, Google. If I can find a way around this, I will, but don't get your hopes up.

The developer breaks it on purpose.
Stop using MX Player.
Check out VLC Player. It's free and doesn't break with version updates
-Wakelock Detector can't get sudo access
Why would they break it on purpose? Wont it be updated soon to work on lollipop?

can't install many things
Has anyone else had trouble installing things in the first place? For example, I need to install the Amazon Appstore, but after downloading and opening the apk file the "Install" button will not react. The "Cancel" button works just dandy, but there are several things I've come across that have the same problem as the appstore. Is this due to security settings, the apps needing to be updated, or what? Very irritating. Lollipop is flashy and all that, but so far has been a bit of a pain what with the manual flashing and the root runaround I've had.

My phone casts to PS4 fine but it refuses to cast to Chromecast [HELP]

I am in Sudan and I can cast from Youtube app on my HTC One M9 to my Playstation 4 Youtube app fine but when I try to cast to my Google Chromecast there is no Cast Button on the HTC Youtube app. I think it is because of "sanctions" and my country being blocked because when I share an ad-hoc network from my laptop through a VPN and connect both my HTC and Chromecast to it, it works fine. But I am baffled that my PS4 does it without VPN.
I am desperate to find a way to make my Chromecast works without VPN and I really really need your help XDA. I googled and searched on the forums for hours and I couldn't find anything that works.
same thing is happening to me. M9 and it won't recognize my chromecast. Worked yesterday
Edit: day 2. Still doesn't work. While I can't cast through the chromecast app, I can see the wallpaper and reset it.
Edit 2: still no luck after a factory reset. Not sure if I lost root because of that, but I didn't use root anyway
my chromecast also stopped working..

If you are running Eureka-ROM, go to web GUI page (enter ip address of the chromecast into browser). In the settings section you can see option to change whitelist.
