Hi Wilspeak,
To the best of my knowledge there isn't any mirroring software available in the wild yet for the chromecast - google has placed mirrorcast code into the chromecast as of the latest OTA however there has been no available software to utilise this put forward as of yet. Hopefully we will see this out of Google shortly though as it looks like they've been prepping for it.
Well we know it can mirror is some respect because Googlecast extension pretty much does this already.
As @Kyonz said the issue is the software available not the actual CCast itself. Unless you want to say the Whitelist is preventing someone like Koush from re-implementing it in his All Cast.
I suspect whatever comes after KitKat will have Mirroring to the CCast in it's display settings.

Yup, or in some vendor-supplied add-on like how Samsung's AllShare Cast is.
Plus I expect ROM-level mirroring will be far more smart and efficient than Chrome's brute-force casting. Raster/bitmap content will probably still need to be transmitted, but standard UI stuff could/should be rendered by Chromecast itself.

My only fear is they will implement it to work like a Miracast and require direct connection via Wireless.
That would be a shame.
I like some aspects of Miracast such as being able to add it as a display to a PC, But that whole Wireless only thing is not the way I would want to see this go.
I suppose instead of actually mirroring via Raster they could send a template package that contained most of the graphics needed to build thus not requiring a lot of bandwidth to update.
Will be interesting to see how they do it.

CCast is capable of mirroring but it does not use Miracast to do so and currently Google has not supported the feature yet.
We KNOW it is capable of doing it as it does it on the PC side in the Googlecast Ext for chrome.
I do expect they will support it in the future and if not them then some 3rd Party Dev will make it and Google will hopefully white list it.
Mirroring has some concerns over Privacy and I'm sure Google doesn't want to allow an unsecure implementation that could get the bad rep of being a privacy problem and send the concept into the scrap heap.

LOL it's hard enough to get people to read and search for previous posts that have solved their problem here... you expect them to start using Google too?
Just FYI to everyone....we KNOW the CCast can do Mirroring as the GoogleCast Ext for chrome does this already on the PC. Unfortunately the holdup on seeing this on the Android side is not the Chromecast but Chrome itself!
The Mobile versions of Chrome do not at this point support Chrome Extensions which means you can't run the Googlecast extension at this time.
If you have a PC click on the Googlecast icon, Look in the upper right hand corner of the menu it presents click on the little down arrow, and see that you can Cast an Entire Screen (noted as Experimental).
So the CCast has this capability!
Just a matter of creating an App for Android and iOS that does this, Making it secure for Privacy concerns, and Whitelisting it.
The fact they are experimenting with it on a PC tells you everything you need to know about Google's Intentions regarding Mirroring.
It's coming the only thing we don't know is when!

phone to pc then pc to tv mirror threesome
sooo. while we (im)patiently wait for googhell to implement mirroring for android, i just mirror to pc and then mirror pc to chromecast.. but its laggy because of the 3 device wifi bridge.. hope this helps
I Was Wondering if anyone would be interested in taking on the challenge of allowing whole system audio to be cast to a chromecast for apps that dont support it, BubbleUPNP has a module for xsposed that works but id rather avoid xsposed and it would be nice to have it merged into cm too.
DOnt really have the knowledge to do it myself but can test it for anyone who doesnt have a chormecast
any takers?
Is it possible to make something like xposed framework to chromecast??
Like hook methods on the chromcast side, so, we can change the screen while playing something (for example), add controls, etc..
Just an idea.
Hi, i have been reading but could not find an explanation nor a fix for this.
Since CM based 12.1 roms, screen casting to my chromecast suddenly stoped working, now i own a Nvidia Shield TV and i have The same issue. I have upgrated to recent oficial CM 13 to test but The problem still persist. I have tried from The official ChromeCast/Home app an also from The Send Screen tile In notification bar.
With other stock non rooted phones i tested worked just fine as it should. I rather use a custom rom than stock debloated firmware.
If anyone has it working with a CHROMECAST device/receiver please share your setup: ROM/gapps/root method if any.
NOTE: I dont want to use other cast devices or my TV's native wireless screen mirror feature, so please stay on topic and reply only if you have a Chromecast or Android TV device. Thanks!
