Hi all,
Since Google allow screen mirroring with chromecast version 1.7.4 I wanted to test it on the GPAD 8.3 running CM11.
As expectected, it didn't work (device not listed as supported).
Then I made a complete wipe and install the latest CM11 version. To my surprise, I could cast the screen and sound with the quicktiles !
After updating the Google Play Services (to use the Google now service), it didn't work anymore.
So, I uninstalled the GPS update (back to v4.3.23) and it's working back ! please note that google now is no longer working then.
Just wanted to let you know...
Happy mirroring with your chromecast !
Note that the Chromecast app is not needed on CM11. I've just installed it in case of loosing the sound, I restart the chromecast device.
UPDATE : now working with latest Google Play Services 5.0.84 (so does google now) / Chromecast v1.7.4 and this neat application : http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
It's working
I can confirm that this is working. I had to change my rom to LRS_GPAD_V2.5.0 to get kitkat, but otherwise ok!
I am using Gpad v500. Mirroring seems to work fine, but I think I have to boot my chromecast dongle every time I want to mirror the picture to my TV.

Hi Guys,
im using the latest CM12 builds and yesterday i bought a Chromecast. Everything works fine. I can stream from my PC and from my Z2 Using Youtube or other apps for example.
But when i want to mirror my whole screen, nothing happens on my TV. On the Phone it says "connected to Chromecast" but nothing is showing up.
I used CM builtin function and Chromecast app.
Isn't it working with CM12 or lollipop yet?
thanks!
I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere but I recently upgraded my my Chromecast generation 1 to Generation 2 and my ability to cast my cell phone screen to my chromecast from my galaxy s6 has stopped.. it just says connecting and times out.. All apps with native chromecast support work as they should.. Only when I use the cast screen feature from within the chromecast app does this problem occur... Does anyone possibly have any idea on what could be causing this to happen?
Thank you in advance!
I'll have to test this for myself but casting the screen to my Chromecast 2 from my N7 2013 just stopped working all of a sudden the other day. It'll connect and then freeze up within a couple of seconds.
Will try to cast a specific program like YouTube tomorrow and see what it behaves like.
Same problem for me, in the beginning it worked fine, but after the automatic update it started to do problems with the mirror cast and the Google photos.
In the others app it is working good
I so that this is a common problem with the chromecast 2, in alot of phone models

I have almost the same problem, just purchased my chromecast. Everything works except the ability to cast my screen from withing Tablet using CyanogenMod using the Cast Screen option.
When I try it it goes through the process show the device found shows connected then instantly show disconnected. Works on my One Plus One running CM based ROM just fine. So it could be ROM version....
Since its a tablet have to use android Chrome so can't use extensions on it because the extension for Chrome Cast work on my laptop to do a cast screen.
Same problem here using slimkat rom
Updated the tablet to CM12.1 not same ROM but same version as my phone ROM made no difference. Also tried 2.4 and 5 GHz still no go from tablet. Interestingly annoying....

i haves same problem in a lg g stylo i update android 6.0 now wrok fine
Just happened on an HTC M8 too. Everything was OK until now. I have it from December and was working on Android 5 and even on Android 6 until yesterday. Tried to reset it hard from button and soft, reconfigure it and happens the same issue: phone find it and when try to connect screen goes black on TV like trying to receive an image, then disconnects back to backdrop. On the phone sometimes the wifi disconnects from the router and reconnects back when Chromecast is trying to transmit the image on TV. I checked the compatibility phones on page and indeed M8 is not there, but it worked, so is not that.
There is any possibility to take an log on the Chromecast to see what is happening?

Edit: Seems that the issue was the installation of the Viper4Android flashable zip. After replacing system image from twrp backup, everything is back to normal. It connects in no time.
What version of android do your phone use?
I use Galaxy Note 3 android 5.0 with Chromecast app to cast screen to TV attached with Chromecast 2015 device.
There is no default option for casting screen on android 5.0.
So I use Chromecast app to cast screen.
Everything is normal. I can cast phone screen to TV while I'm playing Asphalt 8.
I have switched phones to the Nexus 6P and for the first few months I was able to cast to screen again but now I lost that ability after experimenting with different roms.. yet I can still go to my friends house and cast my screen without any issues on his 1st gen chromecast.. what a strange issue
I switched back to the 1st chromecast, the new one would start overheating lol
Hello everyone!
Just wanted to post a few teasers for the ROM I've been working diligently on for the past several days.
1. Source built Android 5.1.1 with Native Android TV UI and Settings.
2. 100% working AndroidTV versions of the following apps:
Play store
Play Music
Play Movies & TV
Play Games
Live Channels
Leanback keyboard
Leanback voice search (needs microphone)
Backdrop app (photo screensaver)
Hbo Go
Moonlight Game Streaming (Stream from Nvidia card on PC to Android)
Netflix
PlutoTV
SlingTV (WIP)
Termux Terminal Emulator
Youtube
Currently, all of these applications work correctly except for SlingTV and Netflix - these have issues that still need resolution before release.
3. CAST SUPPORT - This is still a work in progress, but currently, I can establish a cast session between my phone and the device from Youtube and the device responds - but video will not play. I hope to get this working with the help of Xposed before release.
4. Fully rooted and Xposed. SuperSU is already installed and working, I am currently working with NeoMode to get Xposed installed.
5. Android TV Remote App - This currently will allow to pair to device, but does not control. WIP.
So, already, we have a very solid working system image - I would just like to get the "other" features working before we do a release.
Additionally, I believe bluetooth does not currently work with this build - we need to fix that as well.
Either way, making exciting progress, and this should be fit to see the light of day very, very soon.
Wow!! Well done! Amazing stuff and i for one can't wait for the final step in this success story

Man I am excited about this! Need some Lollipop love for my mk903v!! Ready to test and support. Thank you in advance for the work you're putting into this.
Whoa!! Can't wait for this!
I'm very interested in this ROM as well! Also using an MK903V that needs some serious ROM support.
This looks really promising, I can't wait
Awsome any progress on a working rom yet?
I am very interested in this. Any update? Will it work on an IDROIDNATION Pro? I know it's a RK3368 but it would be nice to have an Android TV Rom instead of Google TV.

Hi.
The project are dead?!?
I hope no...
hey guys I have tried numerous 5.1 roms, Not a single one can i get the chromecast to actually show up on. I know the chrome cast end is working because i can use it on my note 3. But I am trying to setup this note to be a dedicated kodi machine, but i cant get the chromecast to even be listed.
Would there be a 4.4.4 rom that could use the Cast app? (my nexus 7 LTE can cast on 4.4.4) I have flashed 6 roms in the past day, and not a single one can list the chromecast. If i have to install odin and go with a 5.1 rom I can install odin.(partitions are too small as its a 4.4.4 formatted device.
This is for my sister's house and its the only spare phone i have. Casting kodi from her PC reliably is all but impossible. I would need to use screen cast.
(CM roms have issues with Screen Cast?) This is Really all the Device needs to do.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys, I feel as i have been beating my head against a wall. Thanks!

Hi, i recently bought an unbranded Androit tv
The Android TV does not have google apps installed but it has Aptoid TV.
I installed netflix for android devices (eg tablets) and it works fine but you will need a mouse to control some functions.
I have also installed netflix for android tv but when you open the app it gives me error (-100) that it cannot connect to netflix servers and will not let me sign in.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
