It wasn't working on 4.4.4 either. Google need to approve each device for Chromecast mirroring. I guess they didn't approve the moto x yet.
toastido has it working on the Nexus 7 here:

I've tried it and it works, only issue is that it doesn't survive a reboot... Any ideas?

I am having the same issue. Any word on when this will get approved\fixed?
There's an app that used to work on 4.4.4. Mirror Enabler (requires root), however I can't get it to work on lollipop. Probably have to wait.
Edit: seems like it works as long as you don't reboot. After reboot you have to disable and reenable the app. Here's a link to the thread.

Yeah, for some reason Google will approve all the Samsung phones under the sun, but none from a company they used to own....

What update?
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...ui-beta-screen-casting-for-all-4-4-2-devices/
Thanks.
A site Android Police uses for apk files. I use it a lot and never have an issue. Use at your own risk or just wait for the update to push on its own.

Thats an update to the chromecast app, which we shouldnt need. Its still not working from the notification toggle. My nexus 7 discovers my chromecast, but my moto x does not. Very annoying.

As screen casting to Chromecast is still in beta for non-Nexus devices, it is unlikely that Chromecasts will show up in Cast Screen settings. My guess is that only Miracast devices will appear there until Chromecast screen casting is out of beta.

Why did they put it in the pull down menu on this device then? Just a little annoying, especially as the software is near stock. Doesn't make sense why the moto x can't recognize it there, but can screen cast from the app...

I tried screen cast from the Chromecast app a few times over the weekend, and it was extremely buggy. When in portrait, only the left third of the phone screen showed up on my TV. In landscape, just the upper left quadrant of the phone screen showed up. The software is too buggy to bake it into the native settings. I haven't tried Miracast yet, but I've heard that it's a lot more stable.

Hmmm well it worked great in the Chromecast app for me. And it works flawlessly on my nexus 7. But that's neither here nor there. They shouldn't have put it in the settings menu if the moto x isn't supported. It's unfinished to have an option like that come up, but not be avail.

Name: Membrain Audio Recorder
Description:
Hey guys, this is my first foray into Windows Phone app development. This program originally debuted at the PennApps Mobile competition at the University of Pennsylvania. A lot of people thought it was a very neat concept so my partner and I decided to put it on the marketplace in case anybody finds it useful.
Membrain is a “smart” audio recorder application which only saves what you want it to hear. It offers two main advantages to the competition: the addition of a "set and forget" mode, and the ability to sync your files to your Dropbox account.
Membrain works by taking calibrating to the ambient audio level and only recording when it detects noise above that threshold. It’s perfect for times when you don’t have the ability to repeatedly press the stop and record button. For example, just set it before you go to bed, place your phone next to your bed, and listen to anything you said in your sleep the next morning!
Even better: if you ever need to move these recordings from off your phone, Dropbox integration is provided for uploading your recordings.
To use it, simply press the "listen" button (the ear) and let the program calibrate to the current noise level. Then, press the listen button again and you're good to go. There will be a red circle next to the volume bar if the noise level goes above the threshold to indicate that the app is currently recording. Hit stop when you want the listening to end. If you upload a file and don't find it in your dropbox account folder, try pressing the button again (we're currently working to track down why this happens).

Thanks for the heads up bennyj71. The link was working last night but it seems like there's something going on with our app listing in the marketplace. I'm going to see if I can fix it, but in the meantime, if you search "membrain app" on your phone, it should be the first result that comes up.
I got it. Tried the app last night. Doesn't seem to work under lock screen though.

Thanks for the feedback benny. I just tested the app and unfortunately I can't seem to reproduce your issue. If it's not too much trouble, could you describe how you noticed the recording under the lock screen wasn't working, and what kind of phone do you have?
Thank you!

I started recording. The screen timed out. I kept talking. Once I finished I turned on the screen. When I replayed the recording, nothing I said when the screen timed out was recorded. I've tried three other recording apps. They had this issue as well, it was fixed in various updates.

Thanks so much for the info! Yep, I had the exact same issue when I let the screen timeout. In addition to fixing the dropbox indicator, I'll tackle this problem for the next update. In the meantime, if you manually hit the "lock screen" button, the recorder should stay active.
(PS: Sorry for the late response, was at a hackathon this weekend and didn't have much time to check the boards.)
No Problem. I'll try the lock screen.
Hmm like the idea ... any app like this for WM 6.5.x?
Love the look of this app, shame i use android...
Downloaded this yesterday. Recorded fine, but can't upload to DropBox. The app says it's logged in to DropBox OK. When uploading, the progress bar flashes up very briefly and nothing appears in DropBox. Checked in the DropBox site and Membrain is appearing as a fully authorised app. Any ideas?!?!
Could do with getting this file off the phone somehow :s
Just for fun, since I hadn't tried it in a while on any older devices, I paired my magic trackpad to the N7. It pairs as a controller rather than a mouse in Jellybean, and it supports multitouch! Take a look at my 5 fingers. Instead of a cursor you get circles like when debugging touchscreen is turned on. Of course, without any hdmi output, this is not likely to become a dockable laptop replacement, but the same should work on my gnex. Portable multi touch workstation!
The major problem is that it still in mouse mode as far as tracking movement -- in other words, you have to keep sliding and releasing rather than picking the exact spot on the touch pad to correspond with the screen.
Enjoy!

Could be something cool incorporated into ROMs in the future settings wise.
I got my trackpad to pair just fine with the Gnex, but the Nexus 7 doesn't see it on a bluetooth scan. What idiot check am I forgetting to perform?
BTW, as much as I hate apple, the magic trackpad is a wonderful input device. I wish there was an android purposed alternative.
Edit: Must press power button a little longer to get trackpad into discovery mode. Carry on.

This doesn't seem to be the case with 4.2, which is kind of a drag. Anyone else experience this?

Hey guys, so I just installed android on to my macbook and it's working good and the wifi works but one weird thing is that the trackpad is recognized as a touch screen so it's kind of difficult to use. Is there anyway I could change it to recognize the trackpad as a mouse? Thanks for any help
On my Mega 6.3 Android 4.4.2 it recognises the trackpad as a mouse device with some mac adress, then reads its name - trackpad bla bla, and then works as multitouch trackpad with multiple pointers according to the quantity of fingers I use. If something is nt working, you probably have to reset it properly. Reset means something like radical unpairing and longer power button pressing until android ask a pin code for pairing.

I am trying now also to make multi touch work with my magic trackpad 2 on android 4.4.2 (Zenfone 5). I pair successfully, but can only move the cursor / click, no multi touch.
I looked around for ways to perform a reset on magic trackpad 2 (that doesn't have a power button) and couldn't find any...
Any ideas / leads for me will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi! This morning I noticed a new tile that appears half second later I open the tile menu.
It's chromecast mirroring!!!!
I thought it was because of an Xposed module but when I try to mirror the screen an error Toast Notification appears, and thanks to an Xposed module I can see that the notification is sent by Google Play Services.
So I assume that it is a built in function.
Am I correct?
In the screenshots attached you the browser is open, but the tile is always there..
Unfortunately I didn't managed to letting it working..

Can't see your screenshots for some reason, and would help to know what device and Android OS version you're using.

What's your chromecast build?
What's your chromecast build? I'm in CM11 and I see Wireless Screen as an option in tile settings, but it doesn't appear to me. My CC has team eureka rom build 15520.

Mirroring support is limited to the later versions of KitKat (Android 4.2 or above).
They are the only devices that support Mirroring for Mirrorcast/CCast and I'm not sure but only the very latest version of KitKat on Google Experience (aka Nexus) devices has it baked into their OS for CCast support.
Manufacturers are probably a version behind anything Google is doing and not even aware that they can enable that feature for their units.
[EDIT] Just to clarify in your case not sure what CM is doing as far as Mirror support. It largely will depend on who is maintaining your Device on CM.
KitKat is 4.4.x ok.

Miracast support began with 4.2.

Android 4.2 is jellybean, but yes does support miracast (different than Chromecast mirroring). Many people have reported seeing the cast screen option since KitKat's release on various roms and devices but it hasn't worked for anyone. Koush got it to work with the mirror app but only for Nexus 5.
I believe this is coming sooner than later officially from Google.

Thanks for clearing up my mess...
I was trying to say 4.2 was Miracast only and the latest versions of KitKat may (or may not depending on the Rom Source) do mirroring to CCast with Root.
I was wondering if I was missing a setting somewhere. I have just switched from 4.4 to 5.0.1 and I don't see any heads up notifications on my Nexus 6. I thought this was a feature but I must have to enable it somewhere that I haven't seen yet. Any help with what I need to do is welcomed.

Headsup notification is not available for all app ATM. Only those app which enable notification with setPriority(PRIORITY_MAX) or setPriority(PRIORITY_HIGH) will be available for headsup notification. BTW go to settings>sounds and notification> interruption> when call and notification arrive and select "always interrupt" if it has not been selected yet
With some custom roms such as SlimLP, you can turn it on and off for all apps.
I am running CM 12 nightlies on my XT-1052. I want to enable the feature "Ok Google Everywhere" but it seems to he hidden. I tried typing and speaking ok google everywhere in the google search app like the CNET guide but couldn't get it to work. Since Cyanogen has beautifully incorporated the Contenxtual computing core with Shake to wake camera and Pulse notifications on pick up, i was wondering why waste the Natural language processing core and set the detection. But i am not able to find the option to do so. Any sort of help would be appreciated. Also i am using PA gapps 5.0.1 full.
You need to go into Google Now settings, select Voice and enable the "from any screen" option. But... On my xt1060 I try to enable it and only get the spinning circle... So there may be an issue with it.

I dont have that option. Seems to be hidden (screenshots attached). But i am not using google now which could be the reason?
I would say that's probably why you don't have the option. Install the GN launcher and see if it shows up. But apparently it's not working on CM12 anyways.
I did try it with Google Now enabled but same thing. I am using the Google Now Launcher; it came with the gapps package.
Same problem here, it seems that the mic is not working when I try to set the OK google detection

It works when the screen is on and unlocked. According to the voice training, it is supposed to work "with the screen on or when plugged in", but I just tried with it plugged in and the screen off, and again with it plugged in and the lock screen up... neither worked.

Yeah its not working for me either but the guys at Cyanogen will figure it. They are doing a great job with the device. Recent nightlies have been super stable and i know we'll get CM 12.1 (5.1) before Motorola release 5.0.2 smh.
