AllShare Control app?

Typical Samsung, they have released a remote tv app for their Smart TVs called Allshare Control.
It installs (Play claims it is compatible with the Note), then flops with the usual bad grammar "AllShare Framework does not installed, the application will exit". S3 users claim some success.
Thanks Samsung - why can't you make products that integrate? Ever heard of product integration? It's when products you make actually work together?
But then again, this is Samsung. Silly me, of course they can't.
These are the people who convinced me to buy a "Smart TV" with apps, like a browser. Er, how do I type? With those big arrow keys on your tv remote, of course!
Ever tried to enter text using one of these? Absolute joke, no it's worse than that, it's some form of primitive torture. Practically fraudulent it's so awful.
Anyone anywhere know if there's a way we can get the Note to interact with a new LED Samsung TV, with or without AllShare Control? Can we hijack the AllShare Framework from an S3?

No replies - but found an answer, entirely unofficial but brilliant SamyGoRemote. Works pretty well for text input, which is the killer app for tv browsing. Recommended.

Hi, I have Samsung UE40ES6100, the "samsung remote" app works, but there is no keyboard, and the slide/mouse works too slow. The "sammyGo remote" app doesn't seem to discover the TV. Are there any alike apps you know ?
P.S. I have an xperia neo, but I don't think that could be the problem

XBMC works fine on Nook Color

XBMC works fine on my Nook Color, see details here: http://fineoils.blogspot.com

Has anyone got XBMC working? I installed the correct files from the link. After the initial loading screen, I just get a black screen. Using the 1/6/13 nightly. Any help would be appreciated.

Mine is 1/4/2013, but if it's not later than 1/12/2013 I think it doesn't matter. I also don't use 1100 kernel which was a reason for too much sorrow with apps, especially with 3rd party apps. For the XBMC on Android, there are some self-help forums popping up. Then, a good XBMC installation may take quite a time for online updating of video add-ons at the first start. Mine get stable after maybe 5 minutes. Every second start and launching other (new) add-on (apart from obvious 1Channel) takes more time.
Then, MX Player should be installed and tuned up first. It also should be started and exited prior to launching XBMC.
Then, tons of streams may not be there at a given time, or at all.

XBMC also works fine on my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1010 (WiFi-only model) running Irish Gingerbread. No HW rendering though.

Has any of that been integrated into the XMBC nightly, or do your directions still apply for the latest nightlies?

I didn't use XBMC nightlies, I used xbmcandroid.com unofficial build + NEON MX Player of (I think) mid-January. They might have some better builds in their main trunks, but I don't believe these offer anything of HW rendering for TI OMAP3621 as it's above our SoC capabilities once the stream has above 480p resolution or too high bandwidth whatever hits first. Some 720p streams/static files play good enough (22...27 FPS) in SW decoding mode, but that's it, end of a story for poor Nookie.
I might be interested in XBMC-Android + BS Player combos once there will be indications that BS Player can buffer/decode better than MX Player.
TI OMAP3630 in my SGT P1010 is totally equal to Nookie in XBMC handling terms, and there's not a single line of code in GB Android for IVA2 that is replaced with something better in CM10.1 (JB) that I run now in my Nook.

New Google OTA 14975

So google silently pushed out a update without putting it in their blog first (strange), but I thought id make a thread for people to post noticeable changes and such. So far from my searching, ive found:
Better TV output detection (probably to fix the black screen bug people have reported)
Updated netflix & eureka_shell binary
Still does not fully use V2 API, so V1 apps still work
I am guessing this was just a patch fix build. Let me know what you guys notice.

doesn't matter as device still refuses to join network.
edit: odd. ran CCast app on pc. booted up straight away. what ever works i guess.

It now supports audio when casting entire screen. Not very high quality.

I find full screen casting better than tab casting. Text are sharper and focused compared to tab casting. Watched a 720p movie on full screen... No sync issues. Casting full screen notification hides behind video player, when player uses full screen mode.

[APP] Screen Stream Mirroring - Mirror to Chromecast, media players, web browsers....

Hi guys,
I just wanted to let you know that my app is already out for a while now and I still haven't posted about it here.
Maybe some Chromecast owners could find it useful
This is Screen Stream Mirroring, it allows you to fully mirror your Android device to Chromecast, media players, web browsers, Chromecast, online broadcast...
Mirroring feature to Chromecast is out for a while, it was out even before Google announced their Mirroring feature
The app works from Android 4.0, and gives high quality results from Android 4.3 or higher.
Fo now for Chromecast the issue there is compared to other targets is that there is few seconds of delay introduced by Chromecast, I'll do my best to improve this if possible...
Main features are:
Mirror to Chromecast
Mirror to media players with RTSP
Mirror to web browsers with HTTP
Broadcast online to Twitch, Ustream, Youtube, and others ...
Mirror full audio if you have a rooted Android device (or microphone for all)
A lot of settings to change quality and speed
There is a free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream.trial
If you like it, want to support my work and purchase, here is the link to full version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream
Main app thread on XDA is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-screen-mirroring-broadcasting-to-t3102378
App web site is here: http://mobzapp.com/mirroring
I hope I could have any feedbacks from XDA users.
Thanks !

Amazing app. Is it possible to get sound working on lollipop without root?

Doens;t work for me. None of the menu options do anything. The screen just stays on media players, which doesn't work either

Updated my Samsung s4 to lollipop the other day. Now the app doesn't work. Asks for root even if starting service from computer seems to work. Any ideas?

should work... but you can try with free version and see if that works.

good plan - will test it tonight when i get home from work/night out (!)
ah - just noticed its not compatible with 5.1.1 (I am on CM21.1)

Why do you say it's not compatible ?

based on the reviews - also i have just installed it and it glitches quite badly, i had to force close it to exit. I am afraid I had to uninstall it.

What do you mean by "ADB recording working with sound" ?
Also please disable the option "keep internal audio" if you enabled it, this is maybe what is causing you issue.

@Sloosh
"ADB recording working with sound" - When i Connect G901F to PC or type in Terminal emulator type "adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/MyScreenRecordingGreetingsForSloosh.mp4". Then i get ADB Recording.
This file have dynamic bitrate (if u dont set --bit-rate xx) and sound from system.
In app Screen Stream Mirroring i cant set dynamic bitrate (0 working acts as a dynamic bitrate? i dont know/test it.) But the worst is i cant set audio from system. From mic working without problem. Only not working internal/mixed.
Yes, app working without problems if i dont set in Sound settings: Internal or Mixes settings.
Tell me what it is due. The problem is that I can not even born debbuging apps because it is closed source and app not leave anything worthwhile in logcat. Since there hangs just shows that there is a problem with sound. Aplication have root permission. I wonder why it is not working because SoC is this same as Nexus 6.

Yes but did you try internal audio or mixed audio source with "keep internal audio" option disabled ??
I don't understand how your screenrecord command would record system audio, because this tool from Google do not record audio from what I know...

@Sloosh
With option "keep internal audio" and without "keep internal audio" recording dont working.
Now i checked screenrecording command. You're right recording without sound BUT i now connect my old phone - I9300 with nameless rom and screenrecording recording with sound... strange magic. I apologize for misleading.
Look at YT why i mean -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M_kwCA-ogo

weird... please be sure you have the last version (last one is for now 2.1.5c).
Did you try restarting your device ? (if you try, again please try with "keep internal audio" disabled...)

Hi!
If your Android is 4.4.2 or higher Chromecast app is able to mirror to Chromecast.

Hi, so far I love this app! But the camera overlay is so dark on my Note 5 it's unusable, even in broad daylight. I'm forced to use a "floating mirror" app instead until this is fixed.
#2 on my wishlist is a basic text/image overlay. Currently I'm using a custom widget to do this, along with the Overlays app which makes widgets into overlays. It all works fine (mostly), but together with the stupid mirror cam, that's a four-piece workaround to accomplish what I feel should be core functionality in Screen Stream Mirroring.
Thanks for your hard work and consideration. Like I said I love this app. It's worth the price and a lot more!

[PROJECT][QPAIR] GMote - Stable V1

A big thank you to all those who voted for GMote! Now that the competition is over and I'm not limited by time, I can properly start developing GMote. Expect some big updates in the upcoming weeks
What's GMote you ask? To put it simply, it's way to use any Android smartphone as a media remote for your GPad (Android to Android).
Meaning you can sit back, relax, connect your GPad to your TV and control media playback from the comfort of your couch.
The sourcecode for both apps will be released in the coming days.
Playstore Links
GMote
GPlayer
Description
GMote is not a standalone application, there's actually 2 of them (confusing I know). Anyway, ones for your phone and the other is the companion app for your GPad. A video player for the tablet which will support a wide range of formats. Going on, a remote for the phone with which you could Play, Pause, Volume Control, Scrubbing.
Also, this isn't just a onetime gimmick, it's something that comes in handy when you have a movie on your GPad and you want to watch it on a big screen with your friends and you don't want to turn on your laptop just to transfer it to a USB. I tried to be punny. So if you're a media lover, someone who love to watch movies (emoticon) and tv shows, this project might just be for you.
Interface
With the control app for the Android smartphone, I plan to make to boutiful. You know, eye candy. With the new Material Design and shiny effects *_*. Screenshots have been added, click on the screenshot tab above, note that the design is far from complete.

​

F.A.Q
Q. How to use GMote?
Firstly you must install QPair from the PlayStore. Next install the Phone apk on your Android phone and the Tablet apk on your LG GPad 8.3. Then either pick a video or enter a link and control the playback from your phone.
Q. How does it work?
This project uses the latest LG QPair SDK, if you'd like to know more about it, click here.
Q. Why is GMote not working for me?
Try updating to the newest versions of both GMote on your phone and GPlayer on your tablet. If you have done so already and its still not working, tag me in a post in this thread and I'll be sure to help you out.
Q. Why is it crashing all the time?
There are 2 possible explanations. Firstly your device simply isn't supported, leave details about the crash in the thread and I'll get back to you. Secondly, it could crash because you installed GMote and installed QPair later. To fix this, uninstall GMote and install it again. This is due to bug where the permission for using QPair isn't registered if the QPair app is installed later on.
More coming...

After long, never ending hours of work. The first stable release is up! A lot had been changed (namely, the layout) and lots of cool / useful features have been added., take a look at the Changelog in second post. Also, for those of you who do try this out, please be sure to leave some feedback.
App links for the PlayStore and the SmartWorld will be up in a few hours!
Also, in this competition from 20-27th of December, you can vote for your favorite app. So if you like GMote, don't forget to vote!
Thank you!

Congrats you're a winner too. To improve your app, I'd suggest combining both of them into one package and run the appropriate tasks depending if you notice it's a phone or a tablet

It's all good. I'm sure your app is pretty awesome, I imagine that's why you were picked to be a winner. I just figured with all the publicity you'll be getting now, the name just won't work since there is another app that goes by the same name which has been around since the Gingerbread days if not earlier.

Thanks a bunch for pointing that out, I probably wouldn't have figured it out. I'll try to come up with a better name.
