I tried several roms with no luck, such as aospextended and sultan cm13 roms. It does work on the newest official stable oos though. Could someone kindly suggest to me some costume roms which r compatible with screen cast feature. Much appreciated if you can help me. Thanks in advance.
Chromecast works in all ROMs for me, but I guess your TV isn't chromecast ready or you're not using chromecast?

Yes. My device is LG TV running webos, but I've already tried other phones on it and they all worked. I suppose 3t should not be an exception. It can recognize the TV, but as soon as connects, it disconnect immediately.
^^ Mine does the the same thing on Zenity resurrection remix, also is there a long delay in when you click the home button and recent apps button, I feel like it it takes a while before it registers the key press on hardware buttons
Wish rom developers will take the screen cast issue into consideration in their future builds since this feature is indispensable to lots of users. Till now none of the ROMs that r not based on OOS works properly on screen cast.

I just purchased my chromecast but i still have some questions.
I saw that a new update in a few weeks will have the full screen casting wich is why i just bought the device to cast everything my device shows.
I currently have a rooted galaxy s4, i see alot of questions about rooting the chromecast however are there any apps for a rooted galaxy s4 to have more benefits from the chromecast? Also does the usb port for power source always have to be plugged in or does it come with some sort of battery?
Thanks in advance guys.

Can't really think of any benefit to a rooted device driving Chromecast as opposed to a non-rooted one. In some cases, a rooted device may have fewer options because some video apps don't like root. CinemaNow is an example, though it doesn't have Chromecast support (wish it did), and you can get around that using something like Root Cloak, though that has some drawbacks too.
As for power, Chromecast requires power - it has no battery, and because Chromecast automatically updates and it's never a good idea to lose power during a flash process, I recommend using wall power over a switched USB port (like most TV USB ports). But that's just my personal opinion - lots of people use TV switched USB ports just fine.

FWIW, you can still use most of those apps if you use xposed+RootCloak.

Alright thank you for the info and the advice!
I thought perhaps by having a root you would have more options like castingthat don't have the cast function by default,
or send your entire screen to your chromecast.

Yeah, I kinda jumped the gun with the reply, did not see you mentioned it, had it cleaned, replying now so you don't look like a nut.

Actually you have a point there... Koush's mirror app at least at first release, did require root. Also, mirror4cast requires root as well, so you are correct that root does give you some additional options.
The basic functionality, is mainly built into the Google Play Services (and for native screen mirroring it seems partly in the kernel), and that's not affected by root.
i have tried several methods to get whole screen mirroring working with both miracast receiver and with a chromecast ,all of it fails
so is there any way make miracast or whole screen casting work ?
i tried it with chromecast app but it connects and then disconnects in 2 seconds
Chromecast works for me on rooted stock rom by using the google home app.
It failed on cm12 as well as on the nexus rom. I tried the "share display" function in cm12 as well as the google home app. They both see the chromecast, but when I tryed to connect, it disn't work.
Anyone knows what components are relevant to
make the screenmirror function work?
At least the cast function in the youtube App worked on all roms i tryed.
Hello,
I am asking if someone have some experience with AA Mirror (MirrorLink for not officially supported phones) on XZ1 Compact.
I am basically asking if someone have tried it, if it works or works reliable or not. Usage will be simple only for GPS navigation - Sygic. Nothing more.
Reason is that to get AA Mirror on XZ1 Compact i need to root and unlock bootloader on quite a new phone, that still have about 14 months of remaining warranty period. So I would like to know if its worth of it.
Any info will be appreciated!
I'd like to know this, too. I was going to get a MirrorLink screen this week until I realized this phone probably doesn't support it natively...anyway, does AA Mirror do anything non-rooted?

I havent tried it, but since it needs low level USB access, I am sure it wont do anything, maybe not even install.
Problem is that MirrorLink support is really weak. Sony does not support it at all, and e. g. Samsung only on flagship models.
I still guess that I have to try it, not really appreciate it. I hoped that this forum section is more alive.
I have been using AA Mirror daily for the past 3 months. About one or two times a week the connection to Android auto is lost and I have to replug the phone in, or my car stops responding to touch response. This usually doesn't happen when I use regular AA apps. That's about the only issue I have and I haven't tried changing settings to fix it because it doesn't happen too often, everything works well enough for me to keep using it.
Edit: I'm actually using AAStream, a version that should fix some bugs

All on XZ1 Compact? That s really cool to hear!
Were there any special steps for getting it work ? Except of root of course.
Ok, I just realized that this isn't actually MirrorLink. It's just outputs Android Auto, not MirrorLink. OP, you got my hopes up for nothing...
Anyway, my searching indicates that non-rooted AA Mirror kind of works for mirroring only. The touch input doesn't, so you have to do it via the phone screen.

I know that. As far as I searched, for full and true MirrorLink you need to have manufacturer support out of the box. No one actually figured how to implement this on other phones. I guess that it requires custom kernel module or something closed source.
AA Mirror or AA Stream is sort of solution for other phones, but it works as screen mirroring utility only (you have to control everything from phone, not from car). I really dont mind, especially for GPS I always set up destination or changing it while not driving. So basic screen mirror is enough.
I already installed AA Stream / AA mirror and it really requires root. Without it doesnt work, which I have expected.

Yes all on XZ1 compact. And no special steps, but have to add I'm on the LineageOS rom. Just never have been able to get Netflix working as they block screen output to another screen, but that's a different issue. It's not perfect, but it's the easiest thing I have been able to do after rooting my phone. I have way more issues with banking or McDonald's apps than with AA Stream Still worth it though. In fact so worth it I refused a free iPhone from work as I rather keep my compact for these 'features'
So I just got a car radio that supports mirroring over both USB debugging and MirrorLink and it works perfectly without root! Including touch input via the car's screen. The radio says MirrorLink ("P-Link"), but I assume it's doing it through USB debugging. Which makes sense, since that's the same way most Android remoting programs work on PC. I haven't tested the audio but I assume that works, too. It has a huge 7 inch screen and was pretty cheap, so it'll be perfect for navigation.

Thank you very much. this is really helpfull !!
I am also considering LineageOS 16.0 RC6, because if I understand properly, that if you dont backup DRM keys you will loose official Camera and other functionalities after root.

Lucky you!
But this will probably not work on stock car display unit (like original 7" Toyota system) which almost all supports MirrorLink only. I will try it You have some additional app for that? Or just checked Dev. options on and all OK?
No additional app. Just USB debugging enabled.
I tried to cast my Mi A2 to LG Smart TV and while casting I was only able to get the home screen that too with a settings button, which is not what my phone's home screen looks like. Does anyone know a fix to it?
Also, there is another problem of hotspot and wi-fi not working together now. Any fix for that too?

Ya I am using stock android 10 only. Casting is supported, I can cast my other phones on TV and I can even cast YouTube through other casting app. It's just that I am not able to mirror the screen and also not able to screen cast YouTube directly.
Also, if you are talking about extending feature in developer settings, that I have already tried but no luck, still it doesn't opens wifi and hotspot at the same time

Long story short: with my previous phone (Sony Xperia Xcompact, Android Oreo) I was able to share the screen to my Smart TV; now with Redmi Note 10 Pro (Android 11, MIUI 12.5.4.0) the screen cast doens't work at all, and seems a know bug:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/iqss2m
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/mf2d84
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/p160c9
I also tried to manually update the MIUI casting package (com.miui.mishare.connectivity) from apk mirror ("Casting" from 0.4.25 to 0.4.32), without dice.
What happen: doesn't matter if I choose Wireless Display Or Cast (which needs Bluetooth and GPS): the phone find and list the TV, it attempts to connect (nothing is transmitted on the TV's screen) and after some seconds the TV disappear from the list of available devices.
Does anybody else facing the same? I also tried to download casting apps from PlayStore, but the I face the same issue.
What can I do? I was thinking to buy a screencast stick, but not the ChromeCast (I don't want to install Google Home), maybe the Mi TV Stick, but I fear that maybe would be useless since I am facing the mentioned issue.

I too had the same issue. Had tried most steps mentioned above. From that I might give some suggestions for the time being...
1.Try downloading an app called "TV Connector" and use the connect button in that which takes you to the default wireless cast page.
2. Try restarting the device
3. Try renaming the TV to some other names and then try with wireless display option. (The cast option from the notification drop menu never works!)
4. Enable MIUI optimization, if disabled and try.
5. Try another app called "1001 TVs Screen Mirroring" from playstore and install it's client on TV.
All these which i had tried and now it's working somehow
Note:
I have another Xiaomi Mi A3 with me and it just connects flawlessly with the default cast option from the notification drop menu.!
None of these options worked..

Not sure about MIUI roms, but any A11 custom ROM and casting to TV and Chromecast works fine. But all the A12 ROMs do not work. I'm sticking to Android 11 for now
Yesterday (29 Jan 2022) I received the update to MIUI 12.5.7.0 and now, for me, screen cast works like a charme.
any fixes?
