[Q] Miracast/Cast Screen on Kitkat rom? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a problem with miracast on kitkat roms?
I've tried several roms now, and always get connection error" when trying connect to my Sony TV. I had no problems connecting with 4.3 roms, so I am wondering if its a general kitkat problem?
Anyone able to screen mirroring their device?
Have googled, and I see some others reporting same problem, but can't find anyone confirm its a general problem..
So if You able to get it work, can you tell which rom you use?

[Q] Wifi Won't work after updating from stock 4.4 to crDroid build 4

So much for my first post!
Just as the title says, after flashing crDroid AOSP build 4 from stock 4.4, I am having issues with the WiFi. When I first tried to set it up the list of available networks would not show, and then after when I went into the WiFi settings to manually turn it on, toggling it had no affect whatsoever.
I am using TWRP.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem, or have any idea what I could do to fix it? I would greatly appreciate any help!

I had a similar problem going from 4.4 back to 4.2.2 (Miui) I had to flash a different radio, maybe try the one for 4.4 from this thread.

Make sure your kernel support PRIMA driver or flash a dePRIMAtor package.

[Q] Problems with WIFI & BT when using custom ROMs

Hi guys.
I bought my Nexus 4 (after selling me old Galaxy S2) a few hours ago and I'm running into some issues.
Whenever I'm on a ROM that isn't Stock, my wifi or wifi + BT aren't working. The WiFi status is always 'Turning on wifi...' and never changes, and occasionally its the same for Bluetooth.
I've tried installing CM11, Carbon and AOKP, changing kernels, even flashing the stock radio to see if anything changes, but it all stays the same.
Another thing I've noticed (I don't know if it has anything to do with the WiFi, but it could be) is that on AOKP and on the Carbon, I can't click the top right button in the notification bar (the one that shows you all the toggles).
The thing is that whenever I flash back to Stock 4.4, everything is ok, and both the WiFi and BT are working as planned.
I'm actually clueless after trying anything I could think of. Does any of you have any idea what's going on?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, you have to flash older radio to enable wifi. Try version 84. Just flash the zip from CWM.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I noticed that a lot of my sensors are dead as well when not using a stock rom.
I've had nothing but Android devices for the past 4 years, but in this case, I don't know whether the radio solution can solve the problem, since it looks more like a Kernel issue, or am I wrong?
Isn't the radio supposed to affect only wifi and BT? What about the other sensors?
Will try that soon though, phone has 2% battery.

I'm having a similar issue. On nexus 4 phone with current stock ROM running 4.4.2, I tried Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 but wifi was always in trying to connect mode, never managed to turn it on/off. The same behavior is on miui ROM but on stock everything works fine!

If the custom roms you are using are based on 4.4.2 it may be a problem with the newer kernel. This article recommends flashing the 4.4 kernel as a possible fix.

[Q] Screen Mirroring no longer working

I used screen mirroring with my Samsung Blu-ray player occasionally, and it stopped working when I upgraded to 4.3. I updated the firmware on the blu-ray and restarted the phone, but the problem persists. The phone will briefly connect (the blu-ray will say "Galaxy S4 connected), but then quickly disconnect. My wife's Note 3 is stock 4.3 and screen mirroring works fine.
I'm still using the MF9 bootloader, but have flashed the MK2 modem and the rooted stock ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586586 ); I'm also using Wanam Xposed. My searches have led me to believe that screen mirroring won't work without a stock setup. Is that right? I was going to start flashing some other ROMs or some of my earlier Nandroids to see if that fixes the issue, but thought I'd ask about this first before undertaking that project.
Screen mirroring and root are a no go. You will need to return to stock unrooted for it to work. DLNA is the culprit here and disables mirroring while rooted.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know if this is this new in 4.3? I was running stock rooted 4.2.2 and screen mirroring worked.

You must have been using a custom kernel that allowed you to do it while rooted because it shouldn't have worked on 4.2.2 either if you were rooted. Look into one of the custom kernels in the original development section to see if they support rooted screen mirroring. I know this was the case with the allshare cast dongle thingy. Not sure if it is also the case with a samsung tv or blue ray player.

Sadly, no. If you search the entire XDA forum, you'll find some in-depth discussions of the issue related to the Note and other Samsung phones. When I have time, I want to experiment more. I did try one of the modified kernels, but couldn't get wifi to work with it. When I have a full day to mess around, I might try going back to stock, seeing if it works, and going from there. But, everything I've read suggests the cruise350 is right, and rooting breaks screen mirroring. It definitely worked for me just before Christmas when I did a slideshow for some family of recent pix of our kids. I was on stock rooted 4.2.2 at the time. If you're able to revert back to MF9 (the last version of 4.2.2 released for Sprint) modem and ROM, it might be worth trying if you really want screen mirroring to work. But, what I've read tells me that I shouldn't have been able to do it on 4.2.2 either, so you might find that it doesn't work. If I come up with anything interesting with 4.3, I'll post here.
Yea, I I read that it bricks the phone if you try to go back to 4.2.2. I guess well just have to wait for someone to come up with a new 4.3 that fixes this issue. If I find anything ill let you know.
My question has been answered. I was going nuts trying to figure out why it wouldn't work after root

4.4.x update makes wifi not work

ever since updating to kitkat my nexus 4 is running in to a lot of issues with wifi, when i turn on my device wifi would work for about ten minutes and then stop, while still sowing connected to my home network but unable to load a page in chrome or send a message in whatsapp. if i downgrade back to 4.3 everything works fine again but updating again would do the same thing. even installing a custom ROM like CM11 would make wifi unusable while CM10.x would work fine.
Try flashing different radio. Use the one that comes with 4.3.

I came across that information too but i also found that other people with root were able to get it to work. It works with my brothers s4 and his is rooted but not running the same rom and his is for tmobile and mine is for at&t. I asked in the Goldeneye forum if anyone running the same rom was have the same issue but no response. Would appreciate any input, help or ideas. I have tried reflashing the rom several times and wiping several times.
