Rooted Samsung SmartTV With Busybox and Bluetooth...

Hi,
Thanks to SamyGo, Samsung SmartTV's can now be rooted and the box is now wide open for hacker community to better the platform. One such functionality still missing is the ability to use wireless audio streaming via built-in Bluetooth hardware which intentionally only allow streaming to Samsung Soundshare speakers, as posted at the SamyGo forum by me Samsung uses open-source BusyBox and "BCRM Bluetooth Linux Driver" (see GPL licenses from contact screen by pressing the red key) and I am sure someone from the hacking community guide us to what we need to get this sorted out.
Since, it's the same Broadcom chipset used by many other Samsung phones and we are talking about drivers for BusyBox I hope ROM makers should be able to guide us in the right direction.
Thanks

Screen mirroring on Samsung TV

Hi everyone,
I'm having problems connecting my Oneplus 3T to a Samsung Smart TV.
I tried using WiFi direct with no luck and also using another Android device as a WiFi hotspot but when I try to cast screen from device setting both the phone and the TV stay stuck on connecting and after several minutes they give up and disconnect.
I also tried using the "Localcast" app and I can view photos, videos and listen to music on the TV but it doesn't have an option to mirror the entire screen.
At a friend's house I tried to mirror to his Chromecast and it worked perfectly.
Phone is full stock, no root, latest OOS 4.1.6

Miracast seems to be quite buggy, Chromecast is a much more stable solution, albeit proprietary and only available on Android-based Samsung TV:s and Chromecast dongles. Unfortunately I have no solution for you other then recommending getting a Chromecast, I do have this same Miracast mirror crash when connecting to my LG Netcast-OS based TV.

Just out of curiosity, which samgsun tv model do you own? I am facing this same issue with my one plus 3t trying to connect to my SamsungKU6000. On the other side I have no propblems connecting to my other LG tv with wb OS 3.0

I go to settings>display>cast and it works for me.. I have a 6300 curved Samsung 2016 I believe

How can i cast/connect to a TV

Hello,
I just bought for my father a Mi Pad 4 Plus .
Unfortunetly it was in chinese/english (coming from gearbest) but my old father managed to install a new rom good
But at last, it's not easy to connect/cast to a TV.
He tried with USB/C => HDMI adaptator without sucess.
I've read that chromecast doesn't work.
It seems that maybe with a dongle with anycast could work or mirroring with a mirroring app on the TV may be ?
He got two TV, one smart and the other not (even if the tv can connect to internet)
Do you have any solution wich work at 100% ?
Thanks !

Reviews say Mi Pad 4 Plus doesn't support video out via usb-C, but casting to a Chromecast should work, I'll test on mine in a few hours when I'm home.
I believe I'm on unofficial global ROM (xiaomi.eu)

I can confirm my Mi Pad 4 Plus can connect to my Chromecast, although it's not optimised, displays a lower resolution on the TV than the one on the device. Casting Youtube/Twitch/VLC/etc works great at good quality

...
wrong post...

Please try this:
Setting - permission - Google Play Services - (look for) Record audio - (choose) Accept.
Now, restart the Mi Pad 4 Plus
Go to app, Home. You can use it to mirror your screen to Chromecast 2 now.
Cheers~

Cast

I can't connect motorola one power with my led TV via Mirascreen. MOP can't find any device through cast.
Whereas my other android mobile can do so.

Facing a similar problem.
My MOP can find the devices (TV), but unable to connect (via both google cast and mira cast).

Connect Google cast to your led TV then turn on cast from your phone now you will find the TV on your phone ???
Bcoz Motorola lower handset won't support casting directly we need Google cast device else for Motorola's high end devices like Moto X and Z series casting support directly...
I don't know y Motorola has not given feature in lower handsets ?

Thanks.

Yeah...! It works

Cast screen to Samsung TV?

Dear all,
I'm happy with my Mi 9T Pro - running MIUI 11 Global - for anything but the cast feature.
I have a Samsung TV and when I had a Samsung S9 I was able to seamlessly cast the screen content to the TV.
With Mi 9t Pro anything I tried failed.
Is there a way to accomplish this specific request? Might a custom ROM add the needed feature - protocol - libraries that enable this?
Thanks!

Playstore - Video and TV cast /Samsung TV

Both smartphone and tv must be on the same 2.4 GHz wifi network (not 5GHz). Enable Bluetooth.
Start your TV.
Mi 9T Pro: Settings
> Connection & sharing
> Cast
> Enable Cast
Be patient the first time. Repeat the procedure a few times.

This is correct when you use a WiFi connection for your TV.
When you use an UTP connection for your TV to for example your router it does not matter what kind of WiFi network you are using.
Both (2,4Ghz of 5Ghz) will then work.

Thanks everybody for your answers.
@hewlett2008, thanks but I didn't explain well my request: I would like to mirror phone's screen to TV, so the application you suggest does not accomplish this task.
@actiyo and @Snah001, I made all possible test but did not manage to make it work.
I tried with TV connected via cable and via wireless, and both times activating the cast feature on the phone didn't make anything happen.
In a random attempt I also manually added TV to the phone via wi-fi direct, and TV did ask me to authorize the connection, but even in that case the cast feature did not work.
I find it weird that this feature is listed as one of MIUI 11's improvements and it just does not work with a large selling TV producer like Samsung.
Any help will be appreciated.

Double post.

Weird. I can cast to my KU6400 Samsung.

I think mine is a quite recent model: MU6400, 49"; I purchased it a couple of years ago.
I used to mirror my phone to quickly show some news articles or funny Whatsapp messages to my family, and I miss this feature quite bit.
I'm not a total newbie of technology issues, but this problem is baffling to me.
I guess I will end purchasing a Amazon Firestick or something similar just to use this feature, but would try anything before because the TV is hanging on a wall and any device connected to HDMI would not be nice to see.

Cast problems
I have a Xiaomi mi9t pro . I have 2 tv . One a LG newer one and one Samsung "old" one . Both smart TV . After update from miui 10 to miui 11 cast won't work on the Samsung TV from the app like YouTube. Tried everything . No matter what I selected 2,4 ghz or 5 ghz network . With screen mirroring is working , but I find this kind of useless because I don't like how I see the movies in frames . Anyone with some ideas ? I have 2 another phones in my house , both working with the Samsung TV so it's clear is not the tv the problem !

Well, screen mirroring is exactly what I'd like to use.
Could you please tell me what are the exact steps you perform (on both phone and TV) to activate screen mirroring?
Thanks in advance!
