As per FAQ, Android mirroring is not generally available yet. However, it seems developers in Spain are testing it, so for those with root, Team Eureka has added it to the current Eureka-ROM build.

If you have 16664.004, it might work, but no guarantee. Does the S4 have a hardware H.264 encoder?

No idea.. It doesn't have any options to screen cast in the stock touchwiz ROM .

I can cast from S4, but using CM11. No idea if it's possible from TouchWiz. Search for wireless display option.

Really? My S3 stock 4.3 ROM has Screen Mirroring in the Connections menu in Settings.
It used to just be the Samsung-specific AllCast Share on 4.2
It doesn't work with Chromecast, but I'm still surprised there wouldn't be some mirror option on the S4.

Thanks for the replies. I'm on official 4.4.2 and there is the option to screen mirror but it doesn't find any devices to connect to.

Thanks for the report. So far seems like it only works on newer Nexus devices. I believe, like Koush's Mirror, it may requires a hardware H.264 encoder. Makes sense, otherwise screen mirroring would take away CPU time from the device itself, causing a less than fluid experience.

Probably has to do with the OS flavor Samsung has put on where the Nexus lines (OS controlled by Google) have the capabilities.baked in.
CM probably made sure to add any features also found in the Nexus lines which is why it will work for CM but maybe not Stock Samsung.

CM11 and anything else? What version of play services are you using?

Yeah. Didn't try anything other than Cm11. I always keep play services up to date from PA gapps. Right now it's on build 4.3.25.

Which version of CM11? My play services is on version 4.4 something by the way. You may not want to update it.

I was using the last M6 snapshot but just updated to today's build. Also I updated to 05/13 PA gapps. It's 4.3.25 Google Play Services and mirroring keeps working.
Just to let you know, my S4 is the M919 build which uses Snapdragon 600 SoC. Maybe i9500 won't work since it uses Exynos SoC.

Oh I've got an SGS3, and it's a little more encouraging to know you've got the Snapdragon 600 since the VZW version I have doesn't use the Exynos either.
I'll have to try downgrading to 5/13 PA gapps and 4.3.25 play services.

Yeah. VZW SGS3 uses S4 MSM8960 which is similar to Nexus 4. I read that someone here couldn't mirror using Nexus 4.
Remember that Google didn't release mirroring yet. They might increase device compatibility after releasing it.

Request Nexus 4 JOP40C CWM zip

Can anyone make a CWM flashable zip from Nexus 4 stock rom?
I need it for a Galaxy Nexus port.

Why not just download the Galaxy Nexus system image direct from Google.

I want to port some features which the Galaxy doesnt have.
So download the Nexus 4 stock image and use that in your kitchen along side the GNex one
Well then why not grab the Nexus 4 system image from Google?
Cuz my kitchen doesnt work -.- java error and command not found errors

Maybe you should fix that. Have you used the kitchen before? If you don't have java configured properly you're just going to have tons of trouble trying to do any deving in the future.
Also, why are you trying to port to the Gnex from the N4? 4.2 OTA already rolled out to Gnex, everything from N4 should be there, except code specific to the device, like driver binaries and wireless charging support.

This. the only difference i noticed is HDR, which the hardware of the GN dosent support anyway.
The Launcher is different, HDR maybe? and idk what else.. but in the past I had ported roms (ics for s2) but that account got banned for no reason.
Cygwin was working in Windows 7 but when i upgraded to 8 pro it stopped working. ill try to fix it.
The launcher is identical?

Wallpapers are separate to the launcher, and Chrome is obviously available from the Play Store.

Porting is usually sloppy...
So you want to make your life complicated to get a sloppier version to gain... nothing? Lol
And also, starting a thread with "Request" really shows you are not a self-entitled brat.

Nexus 4 and Android 4.2.2 - still no MP3-tags

For all ppl who are also annoyed by missing MP3-tags over bluetooth.
Please star following issue on code.google.com:
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...id&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
Thanks!
AOSP doesn't support AVRCP 1.13 which is the version that introduced metadata support. Until it does, custom ROMs the devs have added it to are the only one's that'll display song/album/artist.
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
This profile is designed to provide a standard interface to control TVs, Hi-fi equipment, etc. to allow a single remote control (or other device) to control all of the A/V equipment to which a user has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP or VDP.
It has the possibility for vendor-dependent extensions.
AVRCP has several versions with significantly increasing functionality:
1.0—Basic remote control commands (play/pause/stop, etc.)
1.3—all of 1.0 plus metadata and media-player state support The status of the music source (playing, stopped, etc.)
Metadata information on the track itself (artist, track name, etc.).
1.4—all of 1.0, 1.3, plus media browsing capabilities for multiple media players Browsing and manipulation of multiple players
Browsing of media metadata per media player, including a "Now Playing" list
Basic search capabilities​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile

As far as I know, no n4 custom rom supports it until today. Google will most likely never update it, don't know what the heck they are thinking.
it's such an elementary feature. Can't believe it's not integrated....This really makes me mad.

What do you mean no custom ROM supports it?
I was waiting for someone to confirm if AVRCP 1.3 was going to be added in android 4.2.2 but now I'm planning on rooting and getting a ROM that does support this...
This is my most wanted bug fix for android 4.2.2, and I can't believe they missed it. Shame on Google.

I completely agree
Does anyone know of a stable mod that does have AVRCP 1.3?
I'm glad that I am not the only one^^
Please share this bug report as often as possible in other forums. Maybe if enough ppl will star this google will react - MAYBE^^
main reason
This was the main reason I was looking forward to the update...now, I'm sad. Guess I'm going to be forced to root now...anyone know when any of the ROMs will add this much needed feature?

That's all I was looking forward to also.
Its no wonder companies ignore their users when they needlessly and wrongly report bugs for something which is clearly not a bug.
If I was Google I'd ignore every single bug report which was actually reporting a missing feature.
For whatever reason, Google left it out, probably because its a niche requirement. It's not a bug.
thank god ur not google
maybe it's not the right category but at least I did something to point out that there's a problem and gave other ppl the chance to express their madness about this problem aswell.
And a niche? C'mon this is absolute standard nowadays and we can expect this from a 2012 smartphone when even my 2010 i9000 had it!

Galaxy S5 Play edition

Apparently a play edition of the S5 is coming pretty soon since google started changing it's images on the listing for the S4 to images from the S5
I'm switching to their rom the day it gets ripped and posted for us to download
who else?
I was just about to post this. Yes it looks like it is imminent.

Yeah, and the rom from that phone should be an awesome one, all the features, none of the bloatware ^_^
Crap. I was hoping for this yesterday. I made a huge mistake on accepting some update that hit the phone today. It's about 42MB but nothing huge changed it appears. Looks like it was just for the screen casting dongle.

while there are bug fixes, i highly doubt they'll patch the particular exploit that allows us to root, and if they do, Chainfire will find another exploit in a matter of days, specially since the kernel source is available, so you'll always be able to root, don't worry about that.
I took a plunge and I managed to root the device with ChainFire. Now to wait for the GS5 Playstore edition
I wonder if all of those S5 models will make the porting of the playstore version harder?
Also, what's up with all those versions? Are they baseband-related only (aside from the ones with different processors)?

What are you trying to use it through? I have tried the option under settings>display but I guess this option is only for DLNA devices. I saw there was a mirroring app but since I have verizon I do not currently have root with this device.
Please let me know if you get it to screen cast because I've also been searching around for a bit.

I can obviously do it with things like Netflix and Hulu.
What I want it for is Amazon instant video. As it doesn't support Chromecast.
I guess the Nexus 4 and some other devices can mirror their screen with A Chromecast. But I guess not the X.
I'm on Verizon as well.
Google hasnt enabled this option for the Moto X yet. The only devices with this working right now are Galaxy Flagship phones, Nexus lineup and HTC One M8. I dont know why they didnt enable it for us. We will have to wait for Lollipop (which comes with this enabled by default). It is a server side thing, so there is nothing you can do right now
If you have root, you can try this:

Galaxy devices are supported? Would my old S4 be able to screen mirror to the chromecast then? I haven't noticed anything -> but maybe I just need to pop on a new ROM for the feature.

Upgraded to lollipop on my VZW X and cast to screen doesn't work even though it's showing in quick settings. Netflix, Google play movies etc. work but not cast to screen.
It works perfectly on my N7. Did VZW cripple it or is it just a matter of an app update?

haven't upgraded yet but Did you email the developer? They are pretty quick. Asks If he has a beta Apk. Best music player hands down. Would be a shame if there were issues

yes for days since oreo
go to power amps website forum, and see there are several alpha builds some work some don't.
http://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/11179-poweramp-not-working-on-s8note8-oreo/
im on v3 alpha 703 beta build.
the crazy thing is you need to force stop on app then clear cache on app the close it then open poweramp again. then it works. ONLY UNTIL YOU CLOSE IT DOWN AGAIN. restart device do same steps and it will stay working. THEY ARE WORKING on the soon to be released beta not alpha version.

It's late and my mind isn't working 100%. I also meant to add that is this issue only affecting those using alpha/beta versions of PA on Oreo? I've been using the regular paid version and I'm wondering if I'll start seeing issues when I finally (who knows when) I get my Oreo update on my tmo variant. Also interested in the upgraded BT codecs on Oreo. Never really looked into that.
i am running it on n950f with oreo. it has no issues and working fine on me (i am licenced user). only sometimes, players notification area not responding (and texts all white) but other all functions (player, lockscreen panel, bluetooth metadata streaming to galaxy gear etc..) working well, not any laggs. (not beta or alpha, using official play version)
if you have some issues, clear all application data and reinstall it. the best player in google play..

The developer is promising a new beta in April. But it has been a long time since he actually put out a build. Keep tabs on his forum for an update.
