I just got a Netgear Push2TV 3000, which not only encompases WiDi, but Miracast support in this version.
From what my indersstand is though, is that both these WiDi and Miracast technologies are basically just wireless HDMI anyway.
My question is if it's possible to come up with a mod to work to allow any (or at least most) rooted phones with a ROM like CM that intergrate Miracast into their settings for every build?
Just wondering if this was possible. This would be a really welcomed feature,
PS...I did try doing just that with my droid 4 running CM 10,1 with its wifi direct setting..it said it was connectining, anazingly...but nothing else after that. =/
Anyway, if anybody know if **** is at all possoble accomplish, please let me know, if you could. Thanks.
Hey there. Connecting via WiFi Direct through the Settings menu only sets up the layer 3 connection. To make a function like Miracast work, you need a Miracast-supported app to sit on top of WiFi Direct. MiraCast is a standard that is certified by the same governing body as the one that certifies WiFi Direct, so MiraCast is actually built on top of WiFi Direct. WiDi is an Intel led standard that nobody uses.
i would love to see an app capable of this be developed, it would be awesome to be able to display the screen on my phone on the TV without wires

Hi!
I've read forum rules and even used the search button to ensure that this question (or at least the tv tuner possibility) has not been asked yet...
So, could we expect to see these kind of devices working in a "near" future?
And for the wifi dongle, I know the built-in wifi works very well, but we could use another dongle with bigger antenna or with a friendlier chipset based adapter (to verify my own wifi network security with aircrak-ng, for instance ).
Cheers!
(I've already seen disk drive, keyboard and mouse in action).
Any idea ?
[trying to put the post again on the first page...] I wish I could post in the development topic...
how to connect tnt receiver to my phone
Whenever I plug in my 2.4 Ghz wireless USB adapter for my Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800 with this USB adapter from eBay, my tablet pops up two notifications of "USB device connected" then disappears. On the third, it freezes and can only be fixed with a hard reset (hold power button for 7 seconds).
I don't have any issues with plugging in a wireless adapter for a wired USB Microsoft mouse, wired USB DELL keyboard, and a wireless USB adapter for the Logitech MK250.
I'm using Overcome 2.1.1 and Pershoot 2.6.36.4 on the P7500.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Bump. Any ideas would be appreciated
Have you tried to see if this occurs on kang build? Overcome is great, but it's been AGES since their last update.
Thanks Misledz. Is there a non-ICS version of KANG? There still seem to be a few glitches:
Not working:
- Camera
- WiFi Direct
Bugs:
- For auto-brightness to work, lock/unlock the screen once.
- Searching for network providers doesn't work.
- Charging+freezing issues.
Huh Wifi detect works great? It works fine for me even under hotspots.
They fixed all that in the recent builds, its at #28 now with 90% of them etched out, the camera mod may be back soon, then again, who uses the tablet for its camera?

i use the front facing camera for skype calls, which is really useful. you say there is a mod for the camera to work?
OH then again Skype being the main reason, I assumed it was for something else like wildlife photography or something of the sort. Overcome has yet to come with something, but if this bother's you, have you tried out other ROMs then?
This assuming you would like to keep your camera and adhoc intact
Hello all!
I've recently been tethering my AT&T featurephone to my iPod Touch over bluetooth DUN, and then creating a Wireless network with my iPod for my SGP to connect to...
While this tedious process works just fine, I'd love to just cut the iPod Touch out of the equation (So I don't have to carry around 3 devices at all times).
Does anyone know how to use Bluetooth DUN on Android? I don't have a smartphone so I can't use those common apps. The way I do it on my iPod is to use an app called iBluever and use it to share my phones 3G connection over bluetooth.
If anyone has any idea how to do this, or how we could develop it, please let me know! =)
Thanks!
You have to install ambrice's CM7 port with additional ppp_async included, ambrice will release the rom with ppp_async next time.
Let's see that link http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...r-blackberry-phone-via-bluetooth/#entry268658
I miss ibluever on android too much!
I've contacted the developer of BlueDUN (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blue_dun) if it is possible to make BlueDUN acts as a client (now is only a server).
Hello,
I have a NEO N003 with Android 4.2.1.
I have to use a Wireless Display and Bluetooth connection at the same time.
But when a activate wireless display in system settings, the system says "Bluetooth will be turned off when you turn on wireless display".
Is there any solution for that?
Thanks and best regards,
Danta.
Hi Danta,
Same problem here, so I'll start following this thread, although not many reactions yet.
Trying to get a Pioneer Appradio running with my non-MHL 4.2.1: HDMI via Wifi, but for controlling my phone from the radio, it'll need BY on as well…
Hope someone will drop in here.

I'm curious about being able to force my phone to use it's LTE data connection rather than a wifi network that it's connected to.
Here's why:
In my car, I have a head unit with a chromecast input through the hdmi port in the back. I put the chromecast there specifically to cast my phone's screen onto the head unit. Chromecast's screencasting works PERFECTLY for this purpose and I'm super happy with the performance
The problem comes in when I get to the fact that the chromecast can't cast my screen without an active internet connection. The dongle needs to download the casting app each time it starts, apparently.
My plan is to purchase a freedompop hotspot and go for the free 500mb a month plan, as the casting software for the chromecast is very small. The LTE connection on my phone is not an option because i'm not able to root, as well as whatever complications would arise from being the device broadcasting a network that it has to connect to.
What I'm trying to avoid is allowing my phone to consume data over the wifi network that it will have to connect to on order to cast its screen to the chromecast and my head unit.
I'm open to other creative solutions if you have any ideas. Miracast was an option, but after attempting to use a roku stick for that purpose, i've found that miracast and the Alpha aren't really good friends yet. If anybody knows of a miracast dongle that works well with the alpha, please share!
