Best lag free way to cast to my TV? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my chromecast on my samsung TV. But I can't really play GTA or any games because of a small amount of lag. Any ideas or ways to get around?

Buy a Nexus player? No but the issue might reside in the limitation of chromcast only using a 2.4ghz network instead of 5 GHz which might reduce the lag

I actually am interested in it. But would it support heavy games like that? My ps3 controller?

I play emulators on mine every day one mine and they work great. I mainly use SuperGNES and Mupen64. I've heard there are PS1 emulators and Game cube/GBA that also work. I'll try GTA on mine later.
You need to sideload the games to it using EFS but its really easy to do. Also PS4 controllers do work from what I've seen. You can head over the the Nexus Player forum to see more because I haven't checked recently.

OK no problem I'll let you know

When I try to cast my N6 onto my Chromecast, I just get a green screen. My whole tv screen just turns green, the only way to fix it is to disconnect my phone.
Only happens if my was to screen cast, but everything else works (Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, etc.)

OK so I've been really busy with finals coning up next week, but I tested GTA San Andreas and it works great on my Nexus Player. I used the controller from the play store and it functions perfectly. You can install it directly without needing to sideload it. Just goto the play store in chrome and hit install then choose Nexus Player.
Here are some pictures of it on my TV:

Yes this happens on every ROM I have used so far except the stock one. I've tried: Pure Shamu, Validis, Slim, Franken AOSP, and a couple of others.

It should after all its android. I don't have a PS3 so I can't test it. Other members have tried it and said it works if you check the Nexus Player forums.

I found out that screen casting does work now on Validus ROM. I just tried it.

Screen casting also works on slim as that was the first non stock that fixed the green screen... That is mandatory for me as I use Kodi all the time .... What used to be xbmc

Good point, but it does mean that PS3 and Xbox360 users alike will be able to play the exclusives from consoles they don't have!
I'm a PS3 guy, but I did own an Xbox360 for a while, purely for Halo. It would be GREAT to play that again!

It's a gaming "platform", I guess. It's basically console & PC games streamed over the internet so you can play them with a dedicated viewer box, or on your PC.
Go to http://www.onlive.com/ and sign up (for free) and you can watch people's games in progress and see what's available.

No - that's the beauty of it. It streams games from their service. You still have to buy them, obviously, but they're cheaper than "the real thing".

I've been playing it for about 30 minutes now, using the wired xbox controller makes it SO much better vs trying to tilt the xoom to go where I want.
Go to Google and type in Slideme. Download that market (you don't need to sign up to download apps). I ended up picking up Gensoid, Gameboid, GBCoid, Snesoid, Gearoid and another one for free. The dev who makes those apps is yongzh.
I have all of them. Hopefully that helps.

Shadowgun

so this game was supposed to be released today. has not hit tegrazone or market yet...also androidpolice had two posts up related to shadowgun in the past 20 minutes, including one saying that it was released but they pulled them down right after they were posted.
anyone know whats going on with this highly anticipated release?
Check the android market right now. I just checked and it is up in there. I don't know if it is on the tablet market, because I'm at work right now, but it is on the web market. Can't wait to go home and play it!
yup you are correct! they just put it up. downloading it now

Good for certain things, like the Driller boss.
This game is ridiculous. I love it. How are you getting video game system controllers working with it? I have been unable...
I keep getting failures on downloads, so I found a place to download the SD Card content in .zip format, yeah, I know, but I bought it and want to play it.
Anyway, where on the "SD Card" are they supposed to go?
Thanks,
Gameloft should learn from Madfinger or EA to make their game, high graphic quality but less data capacity. (1.7 Gb for Tintin vs ~400 mb for shadowgun).

@keu nhu vac
Gameloft has been using its own game engine. It was supposed to switch to Unreal 3 starting with March of Heroes, but MoH was canceled. But look for future GL games to be using the new game engine.
BTW, Shadowgun uses the Unity engine, which has a free Windows version for would-be game devs. The non-pro Android add-in costs $400, which is still peanuts relatively speaking.

I've seen footage of it on youtube, but because it's paired via bluetooth it's slow, like if you are moving forward and let go of the analog, you proceed to move forward for a short period because of the lag between controller and tablet.

Grand Theft Auto III NOW!!

Grand Theft Auto III now is available in the market!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3&pli=1
im playing now on my xoom
*If someone need to test it first PM me
hows the game? nice to c it available for us
i like it! its awesome!
i'll update a video, just wait
what's the app you need to use so I can play this using my PS3 controller
Mmmmm Sixaxis controller
Motorola Xoom, Overclock 1.4 Ghz, Tiamat Moray
Grabbed it for my Xoom and Photon and it looks amazing. Anyone confirm the sixaxis controller app + ps3 controller working?
When I go to the market page I can choose to purchased the game and it shows compatible with my dInc but not my Xoom. I'm wondering if it is because I am running a custom rom. Anyone else seeing this?

Nope, I'm running the Tiamat Rom and have no issues purchasing or downloading the application. Do you have your lcd resolution changed by chance? (that for some reason makes the market think that your device is incompatible)

Not that I know of. I was just trying to install remotely from the market site. I'll try on the device directly when I get home. Maybe it will work there.
In the "More from developer" on the web market, it shows:
GTA 3 (4 stars)
GTA III (3.5 stars)
Grand Theft Auto 3 (3 stars)
All from Rockstar Games Inc. All three are incompatible with my devices. However, 'Grand Theft Auto III' is compatible.
When I click on Rockstar Games Inc. the only title available for me is Grand Theft Auto III.
It's this kind of stuff that Apple loyalists have a field day with *sigh*

I think those are for different regions or languages. If you do it from your device it should bring up only the one that pertains to you.
has anyone used a Control ( ps3 or Xbox ) yet?
Ive downloaded it, got my xoom yesterday, but just wondering if it is compatible first
Any answer would be appreciated.
Thanks

So when I got home I did try looking for the app in market but no luck. Any other ideas one why it might think my Xoom is not compatible? I don't remember ever doing anything to change the resolution but maybe my ROM did by default? How can I check this?

It shouldn't have done it by default... That would have to be set by you using an application like LCD Density or something similar

That's what I thought. I guess I should be able to just buy the game for my phone and copy the apk over to the xoom. Maybe that will work.

I'm using a wired 360 controller, just tried it. Didn't even know that was possible until i read your post and googled it.
Playing using a sixaxis controller via USB + OTG cable, no apps required, straight plug and play. Most things work, analog sticks, etc. but there doesn't appear to be a button for the car horn, or shoot while driving, or to exit the map! That last one is quite annoying to say the least.
If you are having problems to find, download Tegra Zone, I knew about the game there , then you can click "get it! then it will automaticly redirect you to Android Market om the GTAIII page, hope it helps many people with problems

Ipega P-9025 controller

Anyone using this controller? Is there any simple way to configure it?
I did everything correct, I can control the phone with it. But when I enter game, for example FIFA 14, I got no response at all. I know that FIFA is supporter. ANy solution to this?
Which?

Figured it out. FIFA is only supported with root.
I have the 9021 but how on earth do u get it working on fifa or real racing 3? The tutorials on YouTube are crap at absolute best!

I know you must be rooted, so I didn't look for more information. Problem with this controller is connecting to phone, it's such a pain in the ass, sometimes it takes 10 minutes
