I have a Galaxy Tab 2 P5113 that originally had Android 4.1.1, which doesn't have mirroring. I also have a Tab 4 with KitKat that has mirroring and works wonderfully well on my TVs.
I rooted the Tab 2 and installed Marshmallow and I don't find a mirroring button on MM (It does have a cast button, but the cast can't connect to anything). I have downloaded Miracast display, Mirroring 360 Sender, All Screen, Samsung TV Media, AnDLNA and Allcast, and none of them have the simple mirroring that works very well on the Tab 4--ie, whatever is on the screen of the Tab 4 mirrors to the various smart TVs I have that are about 2 years old. I will add that AllCast, for example, recognizes my Viera TV but won't mirror to it. (I suppose it could play video files that would be on my TAB, but I want to see my Tab 2 screen, whatever it is with some program or ROM. Which seems to mean KitKat mirroring to me so far.)
So, my question is whether my TAB 4 type mirroring will work on MM or whether I have to revert back to KitKat or possibly Lollipop to get the mirroring.

Hey Guys,
Im using a tab pro 12.2 and running stock rooted deodexed, and Im wondering if I buy the chromecast dongle - will I be able to mirror my device straight to the screen (I want to mirror custom videos not through youtube etc) with mxplayer pro. My TV doesnt have any sort of wifi, but it does have a hdmi slot - hence going with chromecast.

Yes there are ways to do this
The TV doesn't need WiFi, just your home and device (tablet, phone, PC)
I can only cast screen natively from my nexus devices or PC but there are apps that allow for this
Check the Chromecast threads for more info
Oh, and the best $35 I ever spent, over a year now and still use it daily
Ok thanks, didnt realise there was a specific chromecast forums
Guys want to get my n9 LTE tab screen displayed on my Toshiba android TV.
With my Samsung note 2 the screen mirroring works superb by which I can view my phone screen on the TV whereas with my n9 when I use cast screen in the settings it shows no devices available.
I have installed this app called localcast But still no luck.
Plz help.
Sadly Nexus 9 support screen casting (miracast) to smart tv only if you have Chromecast and configured wifi connection. I'm in same situation,, my nexus can't cast screen to tv only sends videos from YouTube app
Hi guys,
I am using S3 GT-I9300 Android version 4.4.4 ParanoidAndroid version 4.1 and would like to use screen cast with Chromecast.
Whilst I am able to cast to screen from apps such as Youtube etc I am not able to mirror my S3 screen. When I connect to Chromecast I receive the pop up "device not optimised for this device". Android connects to Chromecast for a few seconds before disconnecting. Am using Chromecast 1.10.2 app. Is there anything I can do allow cast screen to function correctly? Thanks a million.

Have you tried using google before posting?
Read this: How to Enable Chromecast's Screen Mirroring on Any Rooted Android Device Running KitKat
that was only necessary when screen casting was limited to 3 devices, it's now open to everyone with the latest chromecast app but that doesn't mean it works

Thanks. Tried Mirror Enabler route but no luck.Have since gone with Lollipop ROM and casting now works fine
I don't own a Tab S3 yet but I am considering buying one.
One of the required features on my list is the capability to wirelessly "mirror" or "cast" the display of my tablet onto a TV screen or projector.
Does the Tab S3 have this feature and does it work properly? (provided that the wireless network is decent)

Yes, you can cast your sceen using the Google Home app and a chromecast plugged into your TV. It works great with very little lag if any.
Thanks. I was actually looking for a solution that doesn't require an additional device. (I don't have a chromecast device and its not easy for me to get one)
Hi guys, I have tested 2 phones - one HTC and another Xiaomi running Android One up-to-date OS. Both devices are not able to find Samsung Q60 Smart TV when trying to screen cast. All the devices (phones and TV) are connected to the same WiFi network and are fully updated to the latest versions of software.
The TV is working perfectly though with Huawei running with Android 10. Also the HTC and Xiaomi are able to screen cast on Sony Smart TV. So it looks like Android One is not compatible with Samsung Q60 series smart TV, is that right ? And is there anything I can do to resolve this issue, except buying another phone/TV ?
As far as I understood from forums.androidcentral.com - Samsung Smart TVs require the device to use AllShareCast, WiDi, or Miracast to do Screen Mirroring. Android One phones run "stock" Android, which I don't think supports any of those. Is there a way to modify some system settings to change the way it is screen casting??
