[APP] [ROOT REQUIRED] Chromecast mirroring (screencasting) works! - ONE Themes and Apps

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.

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.

[APP][ROOT]ScreenToggle - turn off your screen (e.g. while plugged into hdmi)

Wanna turn your Screen off while watching videos over HDMI?
Or need a watchful Xoom but don´t want the screen to be on all the time?
Here´s the app you need!​
Description:
The App adds the posibility to turn off the lcd backlight to your xoom. Its nothing less then a shutdown-button for your display backlight.
The app toggles your lcd backlight to zero and back, said doesn´t just overlay your screen with black, like the other apps inside the market.
it turns off your screen light completly , but the screen stays responsible and the devices stays awake.
Use it instead of locking your xoom, if you need your device itself to be active but dont need the display to be on, e.g. while you´re watching videos over hdmi, use your xoom as a vnc server or something like that.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use this awesome little App with some "starter app" of your choice.
For example, use the Shaking Shortcurt App, register ToggleScreenXoom.apk and you could turn your screen on/off with just shaking your device.
(tested on xoom [email protected] but should work on every rooted xoom)
Thanks to [email protected] for his work on this.

does it work on xoom2?
Hello!
Fanstastic app.
Does it work on xoom2? with 3.2.2 rooted?
I used the old method that this thread started as, using market apps. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the Cornerstone version of the Eos roms. What exactly is app? Can you provide more detail? I don't just download apps to try them without some type of info...
I use the current method on cornerstone #16.

"Basically" the same as the old method, right. Just in one app without the need of configuration and with more flexibility to be launched by other apps.
Maybe you´ll try "Shaking Shortcurt". A nice app that lets you launch two other apps by shaking your xoom.
Yeah, think I'll try that instead of SwipePad. Since Swipepad rely's on the borders of the screen and Cornerstone alters the borders, I'm guessing that's the issue. Maybe the Shaking app won't have that issue.
Thanks again for the clarification, and the thread. I really can't believe this thread hasn't blown up!

i dont understand your question.
just install the app and execute to turn off your screen and again (remember the position) to turn it back on.
or use a starter app like "Shaking Shortcut" to toggle the screen on and off by shaking your xoom.

NO!!! don't flash in recovery, i say that, mainly cause I don't know what it will do... you can install the app while ics is running, I think I used astro but can't remember. What you just asked was the same thing I had wondered.

You´re right. Thanks for the correction.
First post is edited to get it straight.
Does this only work on the xoom? I have an acer 510 and I want something like this. It sounds like this gets launched in conjunction with whatever app you launch. I'd rather that while on hdmi the tablet display is off entirely. Or maybe this does that as well.
So is this specific to the xoom?
sark666 said:

According to the readme provided in the zip file this application seems to be specific for the Xoom, or at least a few tegra 2 tablets.
That's disappointing. Why would manufacturer's assume that a user wants the display to stay on while using hdmi?! How about a sane default like leave hdmi output on and turn off tablet display after the normal inactivity duration. But allow a keyboard/mouse not to be recognized as tablet activity.
Could this be modified to work with more devices? Or say newer tegra 3 devices if it's chipset specific. But really, ics should have some application layer to control things like hdmi res, screen active etc...
Nice! Works in AOKP
First of all, this is a great app, and it works well in AOKP (build 37).
To trigger the app, I set my "home" softkey on my xoom (in Rom Control) to trigger the app when the key is held. Even though you can't see the softkeys when on hdmi, after a while, its exact location is easy to recall.
It is really convenient. Thanks for the much needed addition to a great device.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Xposed module for AA

Oh yes - I would be very interested. I just have to wait for another 1-2 months until my car (A4) with AA/CarPlay support will be delivered.
Unfortunately I am not a developer but I'd be one of your first supporters and I will gladly test anything you guys develop .
Since Android Auto has a lot of limitations, an exposed module would be the best way to get rid of them.
Not a lot of replies. Looks like there are still not enough people who have Android Auto . We'll have to wait until it catches on I guess.
yes - I think so, too. But I am also still hoping, that manos78 will start the development anyway
Absolutely. For example here maps for Android Auto would be awesome
would also love to see some android auto mods
Me too !
Let me know if I can help by anyway
I'm interested.
I've got a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX on the way, so I'll be looking at doing some Xposed work, depending on what functionality is missing. Not everything can be done via Xposed (like making Waze work over AA), but it would be good to get an idea of what sort of additional functionality people are looking for on the AA platform.

RD Client not compatible with Note9

Hi
It seems that the RD client app is no longer able to display remote computer like the S8 or S9 were.
I applied exactly the same settings (including Dex MAX) from my S8 Plus but it is not possible for me to match it to full screen. Actually the application widow is matching full screen but remote computer view is limited to a quater of the screen in the top left corner.
Anyone encountering the same issue
cheers
Just a work-around for now. If you don't require the functionality to launch apps directly through enterprise connections, there are 3rd party free apps on the market that are vanilla RDP capable. Maybe give one of those a shot? I believe the one I use occasionally is Remote RDP Lite: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.toremote.rdpdemo

Sure For now, submit a detailed bug report to the the RDP app developer (M$) directly. I'm sure they will come up with a fix relatively soon since it's a popular flagship device.

In the meantime I have moved to VNC and have setup an Ubuntu 18.04 VM to try and remove dependence on Microsoft https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.realvnc.viewer.android - modified the app to be full screen using expert mode in DeX Max.
Only issue I have remaining is copy / paste is currently not working between phone and the VM

How did you report this bug pls? I would like to report the same.. RD client was my most used app and the best use case for DeX, right now I feel like Note9 is a downgrade vs. my Note8 experience because of this.
I have created a bug here, please vote if you have this issue https://social.technet.microsoft.co...rd-client-resolution-scaling-bug?forum=winRDc

I reported the problem on the google play "RD Client" page (in fact, I e-mailed the developer who apparently don't give a Sh... about this bug)

on the beta version of RDclient the developer responded "Thank you for your feedback. We are aware that the remote session can't span the entire screen of Chromebook and Samsung DeX for some specific resolutions. We will address this issue in our future release before WVD goes live."
I have installed the beta version so when it is hopefully fixed i will find out by noticing the update
It seems that the note 9 DeX mode handles the resolution differently to the Note 8 - I wish Samsung would not change and break things like this
while waiting for rd client to work correctly under DeX, I've been using :

2 bluetooth mice work but right click dont register as r click but as regular left click. plus you cant hold click and select multiple icons. in the dex itself all of this works.
its a shame because that app is really nice.

Thanks for checking and feedback, I agree and have opened a feature request for the app, link above.. Maybe adding your feedback will help prioritise the fix.

Agree, it would be such a great app if it worked properly on DeX

nit sure why but getting error on the link you provided. i did register an account though
edit
i tested the other app i posted a link to and it is a nice alternative.
it does have issues with multi select and stuff. it is also a bit costly but when i use my hp lapdock, the mouse does behave a bit better meaning on the integrated touch pad i can get the right click. an inherited issue with the lapdock is actualy left click and right click dont work. only single finger tap and 2 finger taps react as L click and R clicking.

Strange, I have updated the link now..
In the meantime I am using the official VNC viewer modified with DeX max app
