Anyone?

I use Chromecast

I had the same concern, try the AllCast app found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast

If you mean miracast functionality then you need to modify the build.prop file to add wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
You then need to reboot and in the cast screen select theoptions buttin and tick the enable wireless display box

If your talking about mhl, or slimport, then your fresh out if luck I'm afraid

File Sharing Between Devices

Hey guys. I'm loving my N7 but I have 8 GB (gift not choice) and I'm having issues getting the most out of the space
I want to quickly move large files to my GNex. Native WiFi Direct will connect the devices but no native share option shows in gallery or file manager. Many WiFi sharing apps use actual WiFi and not Direct. The very few that do are clunky and not hat great (IMO)
I do not own a S3 but from what I read S-Beam is exactly what I'm looking for (NFC to connect WiFi) but the threads on the matter go unanswered.
For now I'm using Anysend and waiting until I get home to transfer but I was just wondering if anyone has better options

Hi, there's an app on the play store called 'WiFi shoot' or 'shoot wifi' . I can't remember it uses WiFi direct and will give you the option in the gallery's or file browsers to send it
It was made by another user on here.
Edit. It's called wifishoot!. Links here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot&hl=en
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test it as my arc doesn't support WiFi direct. But it was made to work with the gnex so you should have no problem

Thanks! Turns out AnySend can set devices to auto accept and transfer. The UI is also very clean so other than not using direct, I'm OK with it
I have used WiFi Shoot and its half of what I'm looking for. It crashes and errors many times (this could only be me) and the share option takes you to the app and needs the other device to have the app open
Anysend is good enough unless an APK of S-Beam can be ported I'll use it and keep the hunt on

in case you are still looking for options to share data thru wi-fi and wi-fi direct, i developed an app "PeerDeviceNet" which allows you do exactly that and more. It has been on google play for a while. unfortunately i cannot post the link here (too new to post external links). you can find links at my web site: peerdevicenet.net , or search for it at google play. i tested with nexus 7, samsung tab2, kindle fire(last year version), and an old galaxy phone. it supports android 2.2+.

COD: Black Ops Zombies w/wii classic controller

I have COD: Black Ops Zombies for my Nexus 7 Android.
I'm wondering how I can use my Wii Classic controller to play? I have Bluez IME and WiimoteController
Is there any way of using a screen shot to map the buttons?
Install usb/bt joystick center...
Enable J >T to map buttons on screen
Youtube it.. Theres a video which shows how to map buttons through J>T. Its really easy
Ps. You have to pay for the app. Search the app on playstore to see if its compatible with your remote.. I remember seeing wii remote.

Hmm strange, I got it connected, and turned IME on, but when I turn J>T on, it says it can not star the joy2touch server beacuse root access failed.
Any ideas?

With team viewer you can control your PC via your Android mobile but not the other way around....
You can use my phone Explorer if you're connected to the same WiFi.. I have used it to recover data from a relative's touch screen conked phone

5.0+ Lollipop - Enable wireless display with Miracast devices

It seems as though Google killed Miracast compatibility now that Chromecast does screen mirroring. If you are like me and have one of each devices, you still may want to mirror to a Miracast device.
Required: Root
Navigate with a root explorer to your build.prop file located at /system/build.prop
Add the following line to the file:
Code:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
Save your build.prop file and reboot.
You should now see Settings > Display > Cast Screen > Menu > Enable Wireless Display
You should be good to go :good:
As noted in another thread, this will not work for netflix. It does work with watchespn, youtube, and amazon instant video.
Try Toaster cast on the play store.....
will this edit make screen cast work with the roku3? will try that prop build edit

That's actually kind of cool. That would solve my late night movie watching where I want to watch on the big screen but have to turn the volume low. Is the audio synced at least?

The problem I Post d about sound only coming from the phone was because of viper android sound mod. I deleted that as it also made my headphone jack inoperable unless I had a 3.5mm jack with a mic plug.

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
Yes, It work with Moto g lollipop 5.1 Gpe and Ezcast dongle. But the video lags a lot with MX player... And there after the all mirroring lags...
Any settings need to be twisted...

I added this initially when I couldn't get my EzCast working however, I don't seem to need it now. I can full screen cast normally on 5.1, even though performance is poor
where do I put this code at and how do I save it

Be careful what you are doing, because it clearly says where to add it- in the build.prop file in /system/ folder, it also says add the "following line", so you know what to edit in the build.prop file. simply add the line in the bottom to keep it clear from everything else. be sure to make a back up copy of the build.prop file in case you accidentally delete something an forget what it was...very possible!
I am wondering if it is possible to enable this in the same way it was possible to enable wireless tethering using adb.
v--The way you fix wireless tethering is to do the following--v
Start an adb shell: adb shell
In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
So why can't we do the same for build.prop?
Can anyone verify that if I were to do the following it would do the same thing?
settings put build.prop persist.debug.wfd.enable 1
or something similar?
Android Marshmallow
I came across this thread when looking for a solution to the same issue with enabling wireless display. I am writing to let anyone who this helps know that this solution still works with Android Marshmallow.
Thank you GPS3 for supplying this solution.

I have an first gen Amazon FireTV which is hooked up to my surround sound and when I cast to it using the wireless display the sound goes over my surround sound system without issue. For more info, my N6 is currently running 10/27 - Cataclysm ROM (which did not have the wireless display option, until I followed this OP)

I tried doing this but it said I did not have enough space and couldn't be saved, what do I do?

Most likely you are trying to cast protected content. Google play movies does this and i believe netflix too...maybe others but I cant recall. Anyway there is no way around playing DRM protected content through miracast.

Mod to put the Cast tile back into the quick settings menu?

I'd really like to have the Cast tile back in the quick settings menu.
Does anyone know of a mod that achieves that?
The connection options offered by Samsung are too Samsung-centric. I don't own a Samsung smart TV or a Samsung hub and I don't plan on buying one in the near future.
I have a Chromecast that I use for screen mirroring and am used to being able to connect without using the Chromecast app on my HTC via HTC Quick Connect (which is available in quick settings and allows for a myriad of different connection types).
A port of the HTC Quick Connect function would also be a great option if that's possible (in quick settings).

The CAST's name is "Quick Connect" and it's already an option in the pulldown screen in the S7 Edge.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

You "don't" need quick connect for chrome cast, I have the Chromcast dongle and all you need
to do is either open your Chrome browser or go to the play store and get the Chromecast app by
"google" and use that for casting.
Either way the Chromcast dongle works perfectly with the S7 Edge.
(does not need or use quick connect)
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Thanks for both of your replies.
Yes, the Chromecast dongle works fine with the S7 Edge and the Chromecast app.
However, I would prefer not to have to walk through the steps that are necessary to connect to the Chromecast using the app. That's why I asked whether there is a mod available that puts the functionality to connect to the Chromecast app back into quick settings.
I don't particularly care whether the mod in question changes Quick Connect or adds the Cast tile back into quick settings..
I also would like the cast tile in the notification panel back, after owning a nexus and mirror my screen on my chromecast with 1 click was awesome for showing my family different things without needing to find some specific app to do it.

If you have the rom already installed the easiest way is use the Database editor by daxgirl and wuby. Open it, hit "secure" and search for "sys-qs-tiles". Then write "Cast" to the end (or where you want) and kill systemui or reboot

Thanks!!
Anyone ever figure out how to do this? I use the screen cast feature to cast to a chromecast in my car and would really like to automate it with tasker.

I understand that, what you did will allow the tile to be placed in the quick launch but it still requires the second step of selecting cast screen right? I'm trying to figure out a way to use tasker to automate the whole processes. The only method I have that kind of works is to use autoinput to select the cast screen button. but it's kind of clunky.
