[APP] [ROOT REQUIRED] Chromecast mirroring (screencasting) works!

The Chromecast only allows certain devices to use it's new mirroring functions. The OPO is apparently not on that list. But, thanks to this handy app, the Chromecast will now recognize my OPO and allow for full mirroring!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
- Install the app and open it.
- Enable "Mirror Status:" and enable "QuickSettings Mirror:"
- Either open the chromecast app, and find mirroring in the left panel, or
- Pull down into your quick settings and see the icon for "cast screen"
There is a small bit of lag, which would mean some games that require split second timing would be hard to play on the big screen, but others work fine, like FIFA 14 for example. Any video site (that doesn't already support Chromecast) will work perfectly as well.

i try this but there is no audio out from my oneplus one only from youtube

Will this make my chromecast work as miracast that allow screen mirroring?

Allcast screens to TV or just PC. We are talking about screen mirroring and not Allcasts normal feature right?

A little easier way (for some)
Thanks for one of the popular and working solutions.. I was just about to apply that and I just wondered what happens if I try "Cast Screen" option in my One with my Samsung Smart TV, and I got it working with little efforts! Here's the thread I posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/howto-oneplus-one-cast-screen-smart-tv-t2938752
Might be helpful for somebody who wants to go an easy way if possible.
Enjoy casting..!

I found a little write up that makes it a lot easier and more stable. First download root explorer go to system folder then build prop. Find
ro.product.device=A0001 and change A0001 to hammerhead and save changes. Now go to settings / display and under cast screen option your chrome cast will now appear then click on it. Now once WiFi on and you pull down quick settings you will see cast option appear.

the only problem is that the screen flickers a bit when you pull down the notifications.

That happened to me once when I was kind of away from the TV or when I thoroughly covered back of my phone. So I assume that would be because of weak Wi-Fi Direct connection between devices. Also, I noticed increase in delays and some jitter in video. So this surely seems like connectivity issue.
May be trying without a case or with WiFi antena area open/unblocked should reflect the improvement.

Anyway to Schedule Reboots for Fire without Root?

I have two 7" Fire Tablets that I use as alarm panels using the app "Fully Kiosk Browser" in conjunction with "Action Tiles". Unfortunately missed the rooting window but for the most part everything has worked fine. Biggest issue is after a week or so the Fire OS starts dragging to a crawl and is painful to use. A reboot clears it all up again though.
Is there any possible way to schedule a nightly reboot without having root access? Or any other ideas to prevent it getting so slow?
Thanks a lot!

Try MacroDroid or Automate; both available in the Play Store or via apkmirror.

Thanks @Davey126, those both look like great tools but they need root for the "reboot" action . Thanks for sharing though. Not thinking there is anyway around rebooting without root...
Was thinking this sounded promising, but not sure there is a digital restart button (only the physical one): https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/3djhmo/how_to_reboot_your_phone_without_rooting/
Might try this app which just restarts processes and not the whole unit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.fastrebootpro
Anyone have experience with this app (or similar) and recommend?​

Sorry the suggested automation tools didn't work out. Using a tap emulator (screen reader/scraper) as suggested in the first post should work but may not always function as intended if the power dialog appears in different locations. Don't have experience with the other app but it sounds promising. It may or may not address the issue you are facing depending if it can 'act' on system apps and services.

Just thought I would mention, after testing those apps that close processes and such... didn't help .
Not sure how to bring up an on screen restart screen to try automated screen clicks. If anyone has any other ideas how to schedule a reboot on one of these things, that would be awesome. Device works as a good alarm panel except for the massive slow down.

Man...this is exactly my issue with ActionTiles and 2 different Tablets (Amazon Fires) that I have in my house for Home Automation. This so frustrating - after about 5-7 days, the screen goes crazy (jagged white/black) and requires a reboot. I have used both the ActionTiles App and the Kiosk Browser. Silk as well. I have eliminated all gifs, tiles that have bad devices, etc. Nothing works and the tablets are all up to date with latest patches. Very frustrating!

AA Issues

Pixel 2 XL - Stock
Pioneer HU (don't have the model right now)
Problems:
1) Voice commands no longer route to Waze and I have not been able to get it to work anymore by having Waze open first.
2) Google maps voice guidance. The sound quality is attrocious. I've changed a few settings bit nothing has fixed it.
Anyone have ideas?

Hi,
For your first issue you need to change the default navigator from the unit by clicking twice in the bottom bar icon and selecting Waze.
For the second not many things you can do with Google TTS.
You may try installing a different engine but i haven't tried myself.

For 1) Tried that and it no longer works. But know it did in the past. Also removed maps but that's a nogo as well
2) I tried a different TTS engine but it doesn't work wothaps, it still uses Google.. guess I am screw on this one.

Just downloaded an old version of Waze. Working now
Worked once and now stopped.

Bumped like a bumper car

Waze issue happened to me with my OEM headunit (sync 3), the same days it was happening to you.

[Project] Air Gestures to control your phone

With the announcement of the new gestures feature for the Pixel 4 I thought: "I should try something similar with Tasker".
Here it is!
It's obviously less precise because you don't have all the extra sensors needed for accurate gestures, but on the other hand it's infinitely more customizable!
Depending on what situation you're in, you'll be able to do lots of different things!
Included are:
Music control gestures
Whatsapp gesture
These are just 2 examples. You can expand on these and do whatever you want with them!
Import the project here!
Enjoy!

Great job Joao!!!
If I can, I would like to share mine too from time ago. Hope this helps yours

Thanks. Can you verify that you have Tasker 5.8.2?
Also, did you give AutoNotification access to your notifications? Go to Tasker > Menu > More > Android Settings > Notification Access > Check if AutoNotification is enabled.

Yes, version 5.8.2 installed. AutoNotification has an access. All is set as you indicate. Maybe there is an issue with my proximity sensor. I test it by dialing *#77692# and by default it was off. I turned it on and It worked perfectly. On second attempt to dial It was off again. Maybe It is activated on samsung S10 only at performing specific action as making phone call?
I also checked with Sensoroid - Senso info app what sensor are there at my S10. It lists about 52 sensors found including TMD4910 Proximity sensor, Proximity pocket and Palm Proximity Sensor.

Ah yes, that is possibly the issue! I've had reports from other people that the S10's sensor is not working as it should and only turns on during calls... Unfortunately I can't help with that one Check here for example.

I would love to hear some other ideas that people on this thread used when activating this. I'm not a WhatsApp user, so I'm only basing my experiences through GPM. Any additional apps where this could be advantageous?

Is it posible to control Google Assistant with gestures? Just asking.

correcting my comment, it works perfectly now
great job

I'm new to tasker, and wanted to know if you can trigger the camera to take a photo with this air gesture?

I imported the file from the OP to my OnePlus 6T. This is the only thing I have setup in Tasker, and for the life of me I can not get it to function. An I missing something

Start with making sure the proximity sensor is working. A poster above with a Samsung had a problem like that. If you need an app to test it, try Sensors Toolbox
Then look at the tasker log and see if there is any messages there that will help.
Are you trying the WhatsApp or music controls?

I actually installed this to see what was up. On the music version, the profile "Proximity With Music" has three contexts. The AutoNotification context is set to trigger the profile only on notifications from specific apps. You need to check and make sure your app is enabled there. Also, if you don't have AutoNotification installed, it won't work.
As far as taking a photo, that definitely can be done. Here is a Air Camera project. It builds on Joao's project and requires AutoInput to be installed.
It's possible that it won't work out of the "box" due to two things.
1) The "Camera" profile gets triggered based on the Google Camera app opening. This would need to be updated to whichever camera app is used.
2) In the "Handle Camera Gesture" profile entry task, the AutoInput action is expecting the Google Camera app. If that doesn't exist, that action can be updated to operate the shutter button in whatever camera app is installed.
NOTE: In the "Handle Camera Gesture" profile entry task, there is a paused action, "Take Photo". That is actually the Tasker action that will take a photo regardless whether the camera is open or not. It's a bit silly in this application but could be used instead of the AutoInput action.

Question Shazam not working

Hello folks,
not being able to use Shazam still is a bummer for me.
Always the same thing:
install Shazam, grant it every possible right, works for 2-3 songs (doesn't matter if widget or normal Shazam icon), stops recognizing any song
I kind of adopted to an app called "beat find", which is way slower and has a smaller database but keeps working
Anyone having that Shazam problem too?

I can confirm that Shazam stops working once I close and relaunch it. Works fine on first launch as long as I don't close it. I'm also interested in a solution.

You mean with "close it" killing it from recents? Because I have tried different ways now but doesn't matter what i do it works.

Wasn't aware of the issue as I had only used it once on this device, so thank you for raising awareness. You may have better luck with SoundHound (aka Midomi). I've used this one a ton in the past. Unfortunately it does have adverts unless you buy ad-free for £5

Thx a lot. Just switched to SoundHound and it is working perfectly. The 5,x€ are worth it for me.
Just the widget is not a 1x1 small widget und I have found no way in the settings to automatically start the search for songs once I click on the app icon (widget does search instantly by clicking on it)

I also have problems with Shazam, to make it work again, I have to clear Data and Cache.

@kitzblitz yeah I don't really get why they couldn't include a 1x1 widget also. Anyway make sure to enable the 'startup' (not 'autostart') permission for Spotify if you want Spotify integration to work inside SoundHound.
@PILLS2389 yep that's the exact behaviour I'm seeing. SoundHound seems to be a decent alternative for now
Please report back if you ever find a solution

Shazam also didn't work on mine. SoundHound is a very bit as good though!
