UPDATE: I started this thread in March when I couldn't get the TiVo app to work on my Note 3. I haven't had that issue recently, but I received an update to the TiVo app on 9/30/14 introducing more features, including streaming. However, it has been reported that the TiVo app does not allow streaming on rooted devices. I am updating this thread to reflect a new purpose: overcoming the blocking of streaming content on rooted phones.
Previous content below
===================
I just got a Galaxy Note 3, and the official TiVo app for android won't connect anymore. On my previous phone (S3), which still works on WiFi, it says my TiVo box is "Ready" and I can just tap it to connect to my box. Same goes for my wife's Note 2. We both have the Verizon flavor of the phone.
On my new phone, it says "Not complete" and prompts me for my Media Access Key. I have entered it a BUNCH of times, so I'm sure I'm getting it right... but eventually it tells me it could not connect ("Box Not Responding"), and offers to retry. (I've even copied and pasted the MAK from the working unofficial app -- more on that below -- so I'm 100% sure I'm typing it in correctly.)
Since I have edited the DPI on my phone, I have tried both the tablet and regular versions of the app, with similar negative results... though both of the apps stop me when I open them to say that the app was designed for a device with different resolutions. (Could this be a problem with connecting?) After I tap "continue anyway" the app opens as normal.
For the record, I also have DVR Commander (unofficial TiVo app) installed, and when I enter the Media Access Key, I'm able to sign into my TiVo, and use that app to the fullest extent. In other words, the unofficial app works, but the official app does not. I don't get it.
Do any Note 3 users out there have a TiVo, and similar issues? I have a Premiere XL, if that matters.
I had the same problem. Try installing the Tivo for Tablet app instead. You probably installed the phone app.

I stated in my original post that I tried both the tablet and regular versions of the app back in March, both with negative results. Since then, I've been able to consistently work with the tablet version of the app. If I remember correctly, I had to transfer a backup file I created with Titanium Backup to my new phone, and restore the settings from there in order to get it to work.
Coincidentally, I just got an update to the TiVo app this morning... and this thread was resurrected after 6 months of having no replies. The new app version is 2.0, I'm excited to try the new features of the app tonight. Maybe they finally added android support for all the iphone-only features.

Good to know... how do you know it checks for root? I haven't opened the app within range of my home wifi, so streaming hasn't been an option yet. Does it give you a notification, or does it ask for root access?
Have you tried this...?
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
I haven't tried it yet, but it's my kneejerk reaction to "XXX checks for root..." If you're not familiar with the "xposed framework" then you have a little bit of reading/research to do first.
You can stream via 4g/LTE on android. When i tried to watch a show it said streaming is not allowed on a modified android phone.

Correct, it does NOT work. Funny, it worked for SoftCard (formerly Isis Wallet). Going to call TIVO to complain <LOL>. i dont know why companies like to piss people off. it took them over a year to get the android version streaming and now they do this? i hope someone figures it out. gonna check with the RootCloak people.

That's too bad. All of my android devices are rooted.
I have to ask - did you set up the xposed framework, activate the root cloak module, and reboot your phone? Did you configure root cloak correctly for the tivo app?
I've heard of apps that look for the rootcloak package to be installed, and people that have gone as far as unpacking, and repacking the rootcloak app with a different name to avoid it's being recognized. This is beyond my experience.
Report back here if you figure anything out!

I didn't know there was any "configuration" required... or available, for that matter.
I added com.tivophone.android to the list, and when I touch it, it just asks if I want to remove it. There's no configuration for the item.
I didn't try to add any "keywords" or anything, if that's what you mean... that's more advanced than I'm comfortable with... though I don't see how adding "tivo" as a keyword could affect anything else.

I'm running JasmineROM 2.3.4, which is actually an S5 port. I'm pretty sure it's pre-patched to official. I can't wait to try it out tonight to see what I can see.

I hate the rules and stipulations that go along with the movie and TV industries, and all related entities.
You pay for cable TV, but have to watch commercials when you watch something live. If you want to watch it on-demand... you may not be able to fast-forward ( so that you have to watch commercial breaks). If you watch it on their website, there are mandatory commercial breaks. That is, if they're cool about it, and you have HDCP-compliant hardware. Some shows, like "Under The Dome" only give you one chance to watch or record it on cable before your only option to watch it again is on Amazon Instant Video for $X.xx per episode. Not cool.
Even TiVo... I pay $15/month, but I still see constant advertisements and offers for Bounty paper towel, and other consumer items. Now, for whatever reason... they don't let you connect an HDMI device to a device running TiVo software. I have an HDMI TV connected to my TiVo box, isn't that the same? Are they seriously trying to protect themselves from people using Android devices instead of buying more TiVo boxes for their additional TVs?
ugh...
Am I alone in being bothered by all of this?

How about connecting to download content that's on the TiVo, rather than streaming it... Is that a possibility? Isn't there a path for this on iOS?
I have a program on my PC that lets me download stuff from the TiVo (TiVo software... nothing illegitimate), but it's in TiVo format, so I don't know WTF I can do with it without converting, which is pretty hard to do.
My hope is that I can take all the episodes of Bubble Guppies that are on the TiVo, and put them on a tablet to keep my son entertained in the car or on trips to grandma's house, where there is little to no fun to be had for a small child.
Root Cloak plus with cydia doesn't permit tivo streaming either.

Check this out.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kmttg/
Well I've bought the Note 12.2 to boost my productivity and to do that I need to share my PC's mouse and keyboard with it,
I thought of side sync however it turned out the tablet only work as a host for a phone screen and doesn't connect to a host computer.
Then I tried share KM which as far as I can tell never works, tried it on SIII, NoteII, NoteIII, Note 10.1 2014 and never got it to work, still putting hope in it and reading all the great reviews I decided to install it on my 12.2 only to find a message saying that beta test have ended please update the application with no updated version available any where.
Is there any way I can achieve keyboard and mouse sharing between my PC and my 12.2?
Any way to actually achieve that seamless integration between windows and the android tablet just as if it was an extra screen?
UPDATE
Thanks for every one who replied, to make what I need clearer please watch the following video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVvczhM5KxI
1- Samsung SideSync works when using a phone with a PC or a phone with a tablet, but not using a tablet with a laptop, which I need
2- ShareKM is abandoned and doesn't work any more.
3- Synergy is extremely buggy and takes more time to get it working than it actually operating as intended.
4- after digging deeper i found an app called take control lite, however it requires root access.
Thankfully towel root works brilliantly and doesn't trip Knox so i will try this app and update with the results.
UPDATE 2
Take Control Lite doesn't work with Note Pro for some reason it crashes every time you try to establish a connection.
I'm confused, are you looking to remotely control your tablet or are you looking to use it as a second display. For the latter I have used Air Display with limited success. I say limited because the resolution of the tablet being high the resulting scale of elements on screen is ridiculously small.

Ah. I'm unaware of any working alternatives at this time. Synergy for Android doesn't work on this device as far as I can tell. It looks like ShareKM has been abandoned temporarily. Perhaps contact samsung to inquire about their intentions to support Side Sync on this tablet?

So if you want your Note to be like "extra monitor" I can't tell you any apps. Apps I linked earlied was to get tablet screen shown on PC and that way you can use mouse & keyboard on your device. To do kinda this.

I did, but I assumed by 'side sync' he meant the process of side syncing, not the app SideSync. (Note the difference in names..)
I haven't given it a try at all. (As pretty obvious from the first-time launch message in the screenshot ) It's not something that is of use to me.
SideSync works differently on phones and tablet. On phones when you connect to a PC it screen mirrors or lets you control the phone with your PC's keyboard and mouse. On tablets, it acts as if the tablet were a PC. Meaning, when you SideSync a phone to a tablet the phone screen mirrors on the tablet and you can control the phone with the tablet's keyboard; including external BT keyboard and mouse if you're using them. You can't screen mirror or control a tablet with a keyboard and mouse from a PC. You can't really do anything with SideSync between a tablet and a PC.
From Samsung Apps...
The only one I know of is Synergy. It works well indeed between PCs .Between Android and PC (what you want) I never tested , it's in alpha and the tablet needs to be rooted.
I'm not sure exactly what OP is trying to accomplish, but logitech makes keyboards (e.g., k810) and mice that can pair with multiple devices and easily switch between them.

I wasn't at first either until I saw the video linked in post 3 of this thread. Skip to 1:22 in that video.
Upon looking for other similar solutions I ran across Synergy which is something I'd love to get working on my tablet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xObZ6zwE2pY
I'm able to get the tablet to connect to synergy on my macbook but the tablet doesnt respond to any inputs from keyboard or mouse when i mouse over to it.
You guys can try this. It's from Rsupport who makes SideSync. I haven't used it in over a year but I used to use it to screen mirror and control my N10.1-12. It used to be a PC app but now looks browser based. It mentions something about needing to install a Samsung plug in from what I briefly read.

Here's Mobizen spoon fed to you.
Install this on your Windows PC (Mac users, you're on your own)...
https://www.mobizen.com/?locale=en
Install these on your tablet...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rsupport.mvagent

Mobizen works over Wi-Fi or USB. USB's faster and works with the Samsung driver installed by Kies.
Follow the password set-up instructions and you'll get this...
Thanks Barry. I tried this with my MacBook Pro using the chrome browser method and it works Ok in Wifi mode but disconnects repeatedly on the USB side. The windows standalone application is fantastic though and works well for me on my windows machine. Typing this right now using it.

Samsung released a new version of WatchON called WatchON Plus, that is basically the S5 version of WatchON, compatible with the Note 3 and Galaxy S4. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...axy-s5s-revamped-watchon-ui-galaxy-s4-note-3/
Problem is... no one is able to download the app outside of the US (Device not compatible, blah bla blah)
Can someone install the app and provide us with the APK? It would be awesome!

I am not so convinced that the new US-only version will start without some tweaking but I think that story is somehow interesting - has anybody tested that new version?
I'm not sure how this could be useful for anyone outside US, even if it was made to work. First step is to pick up zip code and choose your provider, after that you have nice tv guide with list of programs, either by topic or channel, you get option to install netflix, rent pay per view movies, some link to youtube videos and basic remote control. When properly set, you can pick the movie to watch, point at tv and it sets the proper channel on tv. Without proper programing, that won't work outside US, so what am I missing? I have a program from my cable provider (FIOS) that at least let me watch some of the channels on my phone, useful when kids watch their programs on main tv. Watch on plus has connect to tv option, but it does not work with my tv, so I'm not sure what it does, but I think you guys are better off with app designed for your local programing.
BTW I have original watch on on my Note as well and it seems, they're 2 separate programs and don't exchange any info or data, had to do full setup for each.
how resourceful does one need to be to find something on the internet? i mean, google has made the internet idiot proof guys?
it takes more time to open a thread and maintain it rather then just searching around, please dont take any offence, but this forum was meant for at least people with intermediate attention and knowledge to technology, especially for what you own.

Hi everyone,
I've been searching for a wired method to transfer large files between my Mac (OS10.12) and S8. Yes we've all heard of Android File Transfer, Handshaker and Samsung Smart Switch. Plus a couple other wireless methods like AirDroid, etc.
I'm particularly looking for a way that allows us to browse/move/delete files intuitively (breadcrumbs, easy copy/paste, etc). The main problem with all other wired method mentioned above are its non-intuitive UI and UX, unstable (sometimes it doesn't detect or crash in between transfers) — basically, they're not what we'd expect from plug and play devices.
Lets forget wireless transfers for now
So the search continues. I appreciate any workaround that any of you may have. Hopefully this short thread will provide help to others who are looking for the same solution as I am.
Thanks!
SideSync works great for me.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it and while it works in transferring files, it's very crude and does not give a nice 'Finder View'. I can say it's similar to Android File Transfer.
I would really like something like Handshaker (UI and UX wise), but I'm quite hesitant to use Handshaker because of the negative reviews it receives.
I was just curious if this is something that could be added via root or mods.
Seems like even low end devices are able to cast to Miracast so the missing feature from the Fire tablets seems like a push to get people to buy the Fire TV sticks or whatever.
Would be nice to cast to my projector which has Miracast built in when I am feeling lazy and don't want to power on the PC for proper viewing.
What say you guys?

I think @DragonFire1024 is working on it too. :laugh:
Here's the deal. I've studied this pretty closely and have a good grasp on how to make this work, at least until it comes to one configuration: wifi_display. It may not seem like much, but it means everything in terms of whether the original miracast works, or doesn't. There are 2 important settings that need to be enabled; config_enableWifiDisplay in framework-res needs to be set to true; FireTabletSettings.apk needs to have wifi_display in set in res/values/public and I have yet to come across a settings APK with that value present.
Solutions: 1) push Java code to the public class of the apk (I don't know enough about Java to do so). The code can be found on the Android Open Source Project website, if you know how to navigate it. 2) direct edit of the smali code of the apk. I have studied a bit of how to do this but still don't grasp the ability. Every decompiler is different and one never says the same from the other. (Yes smali is that difficult).
The best chance is through smali, it's the easiest method imho. Until that can be achieved, the original miracast is lost. I've tried other work arounds including the famous kensuke research on GitHub, and have come up with a brick each time. So you are left with no options really, because we can't use Chromecast on these devices because we're considered uncertified, even when rooted. I'll continue my work on it, but until I can figure it out, you can bring up the UI and watch compatible devices come into and out of range, but I have yet to get any to connect. WiFi P2P works perfectly in terms of connection, but I haven't used it for anything else and still won't connect via cast screen aka miracast.
Sent from my Moto E4 using XDA Labs
Also just a heads up. The HD 8 appears to fully support Miracast, at least in the 2016 device. The build.prop is set up 100% right, MTK actually supports WFD in this device according to the actual ProjectConfig.mk, including both sink and source. I believe the only thing preventing it from working is rooting the device to perform the modification to the framework. If I am not mistaken, that would enable wifi_display in the public.xml because the sink and source are already supported pieces of hardware directly through MTK. Whereas in the HD 10, none of it is supported by MTK. In other words Amazon didn't include support in the build they ordered from MTK for the HD 10. So this requires more jerry rigging unfortunately. If root is ever gotten for the HD 8, it may make this a lot easier.
@DragonFire1024
I am on an hd 10 2017 os version 5610 (retyre xposed and rooted version). I know this is a thread started about miracast but I saw this comment:

I am able to cast to both my chromecast's (one gen one and one gen 2) older non hd ones, without an issue. So far have cast from the discovery go app, science go app, history app, plex and netflix... all downloaded from google playstore (maybe i got netflix from amazon). For some reason HBO Go doesn't show a cast icon so couldn't test that but at least for me chromecast functionality is definitely there and working 100%
Would be happy to test any other apps people might be interested in but sounds like others had no functionality at all not that we had an app compatibility issue.

For some reason HBO Go doesn't show a cast icon so couldn't test that but at least for me chromecast functionality is definitely there and working 100%
Would be happy to test any other apps people might be interested in but sounds like others had no functionality at all not that we had an app compatibility issue.

Chromecast might be a fluke. I've not been able to get it to work, but I'm not so much interested in it. The equivalent of the original miracast, remodroid worked on all my tablets, but haven't tried it on my HD 10.

You are correct, I downloaded remodroid onto my hd 10 and it didn't find any devices. My roku in screen mirroring mode (auto allow) I am told should be seen as a miracast device, but the program didn't find any devices, even when I tried to connect directly to the ip address.

There are a few factors on the HD 10 which ultimately prevent screen mirroring from working. At least what we know as Miracast. I'm going to have to do some more research on how to edit smali code that would allow for the wi-fi display to be active. But Amazon doesn't include it in the public class of their Java code so I have to do it manually and I'm not sure how to do so.
