Coming soon: Chromecast on CM...

Apparently, Koush has built in Chromecast functionality to CM, possibly for future release. Hopefully, similar mods can be made that will do the same for other ROMs...

To be clear, this allows you to cast any video or audio, FROM a CM phone TO the Chromecast.
When i read your post, i imagined that i could cast TO my CM phone...
Still, VERY AWESOME!
CANT'T WAIT! :fingers-crossed:

Game. Changer.

Unless I understand it wrong, none of these 3rd party apps and tweaks are going to work for us (non-developers) until Google starts whitelisting apps. I think each app needs its own specific whitelisted key by Google in order to make an app talk to the Chromecast.

I fell into the same trap; I want to use an old tablet I have laying around as a chromecast receiver. While this isn't that, you kind of buried the lead: media from any app is castable, that is amazing.

From what I understand Koush went around this requirement by not using the Chromecast API.

I thought the Chromecast hardware had to be setup to be in 'developer mode', and then whitelisted by Google in order to even receive anything besides the default apps?

Google needs to take the SDK out of beta NOW

Does anybody know If the chromecast itself has to be rooted or just the device like my Nexus 7

The function will be built into CM so you wont have to root the chromecast, now you have to unlock and root your device to install CM so as long as the build you install supports it you should be good to go.

This i want. Streaming netflix and YouTube from my tablet is awesome, but chromecast is pretty limited.
I knew this would happen at some point. Those that don't have a chromecast need to order one now (2-3 month wait). Hopefully this will be released soon.

True. But nobody knows when that will happen, so it might not happen anytime soon...

Here is something that might actually allow streaming (casting) to a device running CM or any other ROM?

This is exactly what I thought chromecast was when it was first announced. I was really disappointed when I saw the limited functionality it actually has. Hopefully a full on mirror will be next.

I don't really get the appeal of this. What's the point of casting something on one android device to another? Why not just play it on that device you are casting too? Of casting to an HDMI stick doesn't make sense, just play the video/ audio on the HDMI stick.
Koush`s chromecast integration is awesome.

Trust me, its more then a bug update So far the biggest notable changes:
Support for new Chromecast V2 API
New Homescreen/Images
Initial support for some sort of "screen sharing" protocol
And lots of other little things here and there.

Screen sharing as in mirroring what is on your phone screen? That would be an awesome addition!

Sounds like it's limited to OEMs (which is probably a security measure)

I think its related to miracast displays. Used to be wireless display under menu options. But maybe something will be different with new CC build... I tested with Pwned.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

From the dev groups discussions at Google, it looked to me that it would be like Miracast but not.
Iow, they aren't making the Chromecast a Miracast receiver, they're addressing methods in the cast APIs.

So is this build Rootable?

"Rootable" as in, "If my Chromecast is on this build, can I root it?" No.
"Rootable" as in, "Will there be a new PwnedCast ROM based on this build, for those who already have root?" Yes, if all goes as planned. Team Eureka is already on the case.

My cc is still on 13300. Don't know when will get the update.

Mine just updated right now and looks slightly different from yours.

Got the update, haven't tried any apps (Netflix, pandora, etc) yet. The new screen looks better but I wish they would provide support for your own pictures. Sure wish that SDK would be released....

I noticed on mine that sometimes my network name and signal strength shows, sometimes it doesn't - no big deal, it's connected for sure, I was just mildly surprised.

The Chromecast app is only used for setting it up (changing WiFi settings, etc). It was never used in the function of the Chromecast itself.

are they rolling out this update in batches, as I still haven't received the update yet, still on 13300.

I restarted mine in the chrome cast app then it updated

Not going to happen unless you can figure out what parts of touchwiz are required, and then port it
(Or maybe sdk if it is ever released)

To be honest I can live without the voice and weather my calls and notifications work and a load of other stuff very happy that it's even working and that samsung deprived us of being able to use other devices with their gear watch.

Yep, I felt the same with my nexus 5, but then went back to my s4 for full compatibility

Has anyone tried installing Google Now Launcher?

I know it works for the S4.
If not i'm going to go with Nova Launcher again and one of these really beautiful icon packs: http://www.kovdev.com/apps/
Also the best live wallpaper around ported from the Z2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50846913&postcount=26
Please try the combination I shared, it's worked great with my HTC One X and now after a few days of trying out TouchWiz I am most surely switching to Google Launcher or my previous set up.

Thanks for trying. Let's keep an eye out!

It wont be available on the play store because the Google Now Launcher only shows up on Nexus and GPE devices on the play store, you will have to DL the apk from another site and side load it.
