Mirror all apps?
Generally, not. You can try mirror4cast but it doesn't work on all devices and from the video seems to lag heavily.
Google is working on Android device mirroring (the beta is available if you have a rooted Chromecast), but no guarantee it will be supported on a wide variety of devices - we'll have to wait and see.
Spotify, Dolphin Browser, Samsung Dongle
Only apps which specifically support Chromecast or can Share to a Chromecast-enabled app will work with Chromecast. Chromecast is not a replacement for a HDMI output.
Think of it more like a video output accessory that works for supported apps.
If you want to see everything from your device on your TV, one of the many wireless output dongles like Samsung AllCast Share, will work better for your purpose.
Chromecast is an autonomous device (so its output is not limited to the device's screen resolution, nor does it require another device to remain on, unless content is being sent from the other device).
See links in my signature for more info.

You're welcome. Yes, sounds like it, especially if you have lots of media on your device or you want to play games on the big screen, etc.
Yeap
That's it

iOS screen mirroring not supported by chromecast at this time.
See Chromecast Help page https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6059461?hl=en&ref_topic=2995192
Hi. I'm from Brazil and recently buy a L90 D410 and notice that we don't have the Smart Share app from LG in this model. Anyone knows a alternative app which uses wifi direct for stream videos, music or photos? (I don't have wifi router on my home lol ) sorry for my poor english

Maybe BubblePnp. Dont know if it works without router network, maybe you can connect to your smart tv directly by dnla to stream pics and vids.
Is the Nexus 6 going to get Miracast? If so any ETA?
It has cast built in but I'm not sure you'll see it get miracast.

So mirscast is not currently supported? Our only option is Chromecast?

Yeah, I'm pretty upset about this. Every miracast page I visit says ALL android devices with 4.2 and above are supported. So why not android 5.0 on Nexus 6? Is Google really forcing Nexus 6 owners to use chromecast only?!? What if we don't have, or want to use, wifi? I just want to mirror my brand new Nexus 6 to my TV, not stream content. The google support page lists the Nexus 6 & 9 as supported chromecast devices, but not for miracast.
Any possibility of a someone enabling this option? Please help!?! I think the proper hardware is there.
I find it very hard to believe that the Nexus 6 doesn't support Wifi Direct or Miracast at the hardware level. It's probably just disabled in the factory images.
A custom rom should be able to use it. If not, there's something profoundly wrong with the phone.
Then again, there's still suspiciously no Wi-Fi Alliance certification for the Nexus 6.
try build.prop hack to enabling Miracast, AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I don't have N6.

The Nexus 6 does have WiFi Direct, but not miracast. Are these the same? Should I be able to use a miracast device with my Nexus 6 without WiFi?

Please explain further. What do I need to do to enable Miracast? I'm a bit of a noob. Do I modify build.prop? I am unlocked and rooted.
Thanks
Problem solved traded in my Nexus 6 for a Note 4. This feature was important to me. Hopefully Lollipop will be available soon and Miracast will still work.

Miracast uses WiFi Direct
Code:
// connected device to PC via adb (usb)
$ adb root
$ adb remount
$ adb pull /system/build.prop
(add persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 to build.prop using text editor)
(Build Prop Editor app)
$ adb push build.prop /system/
$ adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
$ adb reboot
Edited. Initially this didn't look like it worked however that's not entirely true. I am now able to connect to my push2tv adapter however I'm have stability issues. In did notice there was a WiFi network going in and out which has caused me problems in the past (this setup is in my car). I'll try again out in the open and report back.
This is a real pain in the ass, so if I want to mirror my screen at my gfs house, what are my options?
Connect the chromecast to her wifi? There's no other direct connection way?
After modifying the build.prop I was able to get miracast working without WiFi on my Nexus 6 (thanks s107ken)! It mirrors my screen perfectly and plays web videos and youtube. However, it will NOT play Netflix or Hulu videos. The sound works and the controls show up, but no video. Just a black screen. I thought this may be because of a HDCP or DRM issue.
Any thoughts or workarounds? Maybe the EZCast app? Please help!
Thanks

For miracasting, I'm using the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. My TV is a Samsung (non-smart TV).

Thanks, it does sound like a DRM issue on Netflix and Hulu.
Is the video decent quality? Smooth playback?
I'm planning to use it for plex if so

Yes, it is smooth on what I'm able to play. I just desperately want to be able to mirror Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. Any suggestions for a fix? Please help!
Interesting. I'll update my ptv3000 firmware and if that doesn't work I'll try the ms version.

Do you have any other sources you could try? Like media from the phone or plex... Just trying to see if it's a DRM thing or something else.

Have you tried the build.prop fix?
I have an Appradio 3 in my car. I figured out that the Nexus 6 does not support HDMI out. I guess I should have looked into that before I bought it. The Appradio also supports Mirrorlink.
Does anyone know if the Nexus 6 supports Mirrorlink? I was under the impression that Android Auto was going to use Mirrorlink to connect to the car. Has anyone got their Nexus 6 to connect to their Appradio?
I'm also interested in this topic... looks like i may need to change out my stereo if all else fails... darn.

I did search Google. That's how I found that video and then shared it in this guy's thread for him. ?
I enabled Miracast through editing my build.prop to connect to a Microsoft wireless display adapter through my AppRadio2 but eventually switched to Chromecast. All of this is with AppRadio Unchained Reloaded.
