How to enable Miracast - Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion

This guide will show how to enable WIFI SCREEN MIRRORING on our phones.
I think Moto/Lenovo disabled it to force the use of projector snap or chromecast.
You'll need root enabled.
All you have to do is change one line on your build.prop.
You have to change the line
Code:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=0
To
Code:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
If you're on stock or stock based ROM, you will edit the line.
If you're Lineage based rom, you will have to add the line.
Now you reboot and Miracast can be enabled.

it works confirmed on xiaomi redmi note 3,N roms

Was about to return my Moto Z (Griffin) because of the lack of miracast.
Just tried this method and it does indeed enable miracast on Android 6.
Problem is, it's not smooth and seemless like on the Galaxy S7 because when casting video, the Moto Z plays the video on the phone as well as on the wireless display at the same time resulting in an often pixelated wireless video.
On the S7, the screen on the phone remains black (except for the playback controls), and wireless video is excellent.
How can we fix this?
Also, does this build.prop hack work on Android 7?

I don't think that the S7 actually does Miracast but uses a form of WiFi Direct instead. My understanding of Miracast is that it is only capable of video mirroring and doesn't have the ability of actually casting video like Chromecast or Apple Air Play. I also have an S7 and although it is able to cast video from content directly on your phone to a television it uses video mirroring when playing back video from third party apps like HBO Go or Showtime Anytime, the same as Miracast.

The ultimate goal is to have a device that can connect to and project content to a wide spectrum of devices.
For me, it's important to be able to cast or mirror directly, without the need for an external WiFi network (as is the requirement of a Chromecast).
Examples being "project to this PC Windows 10" or to a miracast/Widi connected projector "Microsoft display adapter".
All of which the S7 does flawlessly but the Moto Z can't.
Regarding the mirror display of video, that depends on the app being used. If however the app allows the video to be played on the native video player, it'll get cast but not mirrored, resulting in smooth playback (S7). The Moto does not have a dedicated video player and relies on Google Photos, so the content (after applying this mirrorcast hack) is simply mirrored.
It's also shocking that for a modern device, the Moto Z can't connect to devices via HDMI (Samsung also dropped the ball here with the S7).
Only reason to keep the Moto Z really is for the Mods, like the projector.

I've read somewhere that this hack only works on Android 6 for the Moto Z (fails to connect on Android 7).
Could someone please confirm ( don't want to update if miracast is lost)?

Just a little further info. Miracast has been disabled since at least 2013 with the release of Moto G (1st Gen) / Moto X (1st Gen) - probably earlier. It's not related to projector snap or chromecast. The feature was never properly implemented (WiFi internet connection was lost while mirroring) in the any Stock Motorola Firmware, but did work correctly in the Google Play Edition firmware.
It's been a few years since I've used the feature, but casting via Miracast is possible using various apps on Play Store (for example BubbleUPnP).

Bubble upnp and other apps need external WiFi, miracast is direct so can be very useful on the go (where you may not have home or office WiFi).

updated to Noghat, rooted and used the build prop editor from the Playstore........miracast works but it breaks the camera (camera busy, please restart).
Restoring the original build prop fails to fix the camera.
Only fix is to reinstall the firmware

This mod does not affect camera.
O think you edited something else.
My suggestion: Always perform a nandroid backup before doing any mod.

I have the moto z play unlocked version and have updated my build.prop. What I had to do was take the # out before the line described at the beginning of this thread(the =0 was already =1 as described to change) and I do have screen mirroring to a point. Everything mirrors except video streaming apps, homemade videos stream fine but apps like fox go, espn, and such the video is black on the screen but sound works while video is playing on the phone. Does anyone else have this problem and been able to get both video and sound to mirror? Is there more to edit in the build.prop file to get full true mirroring? I have search everywhere and haven't seen this problem but people say they have mirroring that is working but not if everything is working.. Thanks

Where do I edit this line?

/system/build.prop

So I take it nobody is having problems mirroring? And I'm the only one who's build.prop already said the 1 instead of the 0 and that taking out the # before the line that needed to be changed gives my phone some mirroring but not with apps like espn and such. When I had the Samsung Note 5 these apps mirrored fine. Strange they don't show video for this edit.

I can't even find the value or line in the editor app? And I'm on stock 7.0

Chromecast mirroring working on Moto X!

Google recently released an update for chromecast enabling screen cast on supported devices.
Unfortunately, Moto X is not one of the lucky ones
But an user in a Moto X brazillian G+ community, found out that downgrading Google Play Services to factory version enables the option for us!
I just tried myself and for my surprise, it actually WORKS!
Depending on what you're mirroring, it's kinda laggy by now, but you may try yourself. Audio also works! :good:
Vinicius Costa was who made the discovery.
Checkout the post in G+ and a few screenshots and photos:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+DanielWilliamTR/posts/QphJc1qNetB?cfem=1
EDIT1: Is not really practical downgrade GPS (for day to day use) as it breaks a lot of Google apps. This is only a workaround to enable screen cast while we don't get official support.
EDIT2: I just made a video demonstration of cast screen in my Moto X, the audio is in portuguese, but you can ignore that.
http://youtu.be/9pFlsmqH-Q4
EDIT3: A xda developer released an app that enables mirroring by adding an entry in Google Play Services database (no need to uninstall gps updates).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
Sweet. Can't wait to mirror NFL red zone to my TV...
I hope the audio quality is good. Could be my only hope for Slacker radio.

My guess they change model name in build.prop to one of those devices already support it. That could be a better work around

Could you change your build prop to get the new version of the app from the play store, then once working, change it back? My fear is that changing your build prop will break things like Motorola apps and Google wallet, which can be picky about your build prop.

I think this is worst than downgrading GPS... Changing model name may get you a lot of problems with system and other apps...
I hope there's another workaround other than these two...

The problem is not about updating the app, you can do this by downloading the apk from androidpolice.
But once updated, it won't show the option to cast screen on Moto X by default.

Ok guys, tried this for myself
I DON'T have a Moto X, but a Sony Xperia Z2, but the process should be quite the same, i changed this values from my original build.prop:
Code:
ro.build.product=D6503
ro.product.brand=Sony
ro.product.name=D6503
ro.product.device=D6503
to:
Code:
ro.build.product=hammerhead
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=hammerhead
ro.product.device=hammerhead
I took the changed build.prop variables from a original Nexus 5 build.prop file.
Happy testing

Is that suposed to work even with the latest Google Play Services?

I was able to get it to work basically perfectly (albeit no audio) just by changing my ro.product.device to hammerhead and nothing else. I didn't see the quick option for casting my screen (probably because I'm using GravityBox), but the new ChromeCast app had the option after a reboot!

Works fine here, including audio and quick option (I also have GravityBox).
But I didn't changed anything in build.prop...
If anybody gets this to cast audio from the Audible Audiobooks for Android App on a Moto X, please let me know! (or even on one of the supported phones, I'd still be curious.)

I did not downgrade Google Play Services at all though, I didn't even have the option available in the app settings.
I just made a video: http://youtu.be/9pFlsmqH-Q4
I did have a working "Cast screen" button from the quick settings menu about 1 month ago which worked for about a week then either a Google Play or Motorola update disabled it. This is on a stock XT1053 connecting to a rooted Chromecast running Eureka ROM; screen mirroring and video both worked but no audio. Settings/Display/Cast screen showed my Chromecast as well. After it not working for the last several weeks I was anxiously awaiting this latest Chromecast Android app update that came out today...but after updating the "Cast screen" option is still not back working on my Moto X. I think it was something changed by Motorola because my 2012 Nexus 7 has had "Cast screen" working from the same time as the Moto X and it has never stopped working.
The posted video wasn't working, uh unfortunately.. Does anyone have a link to the downgraded Google play servicwa apk file?? It would be greatly appreciated.. I'm trying to get this working on my nexus 7 2012.. I changed the build prop to hammerhead and now get the option to cast screen but it Google play services crashes afterwards.

[Q] NFL Mobile / root

So i think I'm going to go upgrade to this phone. Currently on unlocked bootloader droid maxx. Only thing i really need root for is chrome cast for NFL Mobile. Does anyone know if there is a work around (patch?) that doesnt require root to hide chromecast from the running apps or some other way so that NFL Mobile will still work with stock chromecast running? My current solution (using 3rd party screen share) requires root for audio so i am pretty sure that isn't going to work on droid turbo. Just wondering if anyone else casts redzone to their tv and is also looking for a workaround/solution using droid turbo.
Thanks
Amazon firestick
I just cast my entire screen
How do you cast your entire screen?
You can't do this anymore, NFL mobile patched full screen cast just in time for TNF moving back from CBS in Week 9. You'll get audio from TV but no video. Currently unaware of a workaround. Allcast is similarly disabled.

[Guide] Comcast Xfinity TV Go App on FTV

Hello Everyone!
I have been able to get my Xfinity TV Go app working on the FTV.
1. Download the Xfinity.apk [Mediafire]
2. Buy or Download the "Mouse Toggle for Fire TV" [Google Play - $2.99]
3. Install Mouse Toggle on an android device (tablet or phone) and make sure you are on the same network as the FTV stick.
4. Follow instructions on the Mouse Toggle app (EXTREMELY SIMPLE)
5. Install the Xfinity.apk to the FTV via ADB
6. Open the Xfinity app on the FTV
7. If the Mouse Toggle installed and is running QUICKLY double tap <PLAY/PAUSE> and you will see a cursor on the screen. Move it with the D-Pad and select Username/Email
8. Login with your Comcast Account
9. Profit?
I have done this and it 100% works! It is still a bit of a pain to have to switch to D-Pad mode to scroll and the Mouse Mode to select but all in all it works!
Thanks and any comments/feedback is greatly appreciated!
Or just use a mouse ...

Yes you could but not everyone has a Bluetooth mouse. And for a cheaper one is 5 to 10 usd while the app is $2.99. Also it is easier to just use the supplied remote instead of multiple devices.
But to each their one.
@AndroidDeveloper4Life
Great guide write-up. Been using the Mouse Toggle since last year. Once you get use to it. It will become second nature to switch back and forth.
Are any of your FTV's rooted ? If so, is XFinity blocking playback on rooted devices ? Are you live streaming from XFinity on a FTV Stick ? Is it smooth? Asking because the ATT Uverse app has been pain if your rooted or overall too.
Thanks.
I do not have a rooted fire tv stick but will get one of the 3 in the house done soon. But it is great quality live streaming (about 1 min behind normal cable). Looks great almost HD quality. We have the 2nd step plan on the Cable (sorry it doesn't give a name online), and we also have the sports addon and everything works great. Of course it will take a min for it to reach HD quality upon loading a channel. But have access to 70+ channels and probably like 90+ if we had HBO, Showtime and all that. But it works great! A he|| alot better than Kodi live tv!
I have a rooted Fire TV 2 and the Xfinity apps work fine for me. Been using these apps for months now,

Great, will get an account from a friend to try it out. Haven't tried XFinity for close to two years. Glad they got their act together.
Also my bad experience might also be due to FireOS 3 vs FireOS 5. Since all my rooted FTV's are 1st Gen & are still on FireOS 3 waiting for an update.
Tried Uverse on a stock FTV Stick but there where still problems with both Amazon & PlayStore versions of the app.
What version of the XFinity app are your two using?
The Xfinity apps are great but it would be nice if they had D-Pad/button support. Like stated earlier, get that mouse ready!

Have been using & am used to the Mouse Toggle for Fire TV app since Nov. of last year. So no worries if a mouse is needed. Used to have some Logitech M325's hooked up to my 1st Gens. Don't anymore. I really like the scrolling options of the Mouse Toggle for Fire TV.

So does this really work on a nonrooted firetv stick running any software os3 or latest os5? Does it continue to work today( a couple months later)?
I'm trying to find out if I need a rooted ftv to play xfinity tv go app or is any nonrooted ftv1,2,or stick fine?
I tried it with a new cheap Android box but kept getting error 3322 on all the channels.

The tv go app still works, it just gives you an error on the home screen. You can still go to Live and search for content to watch. As far as the xfinity tv app goes you'll need to find an older version like 3.2.0.016 which works.

I know it still works, but is there ever going to be a time that it doesn't? It appears Comcast made the new app not function on a firestick or something. A little disturbing for the future...
So when I go to live tv now in the app all the channels have been removed and it says to get the new xfinity tv app and they have stopped supporting xfinity tv go.
I installed the latest xfinity tv app but it just ends up crashing every time. Any help?
Just install Kodi and then install the Exodus add-on.
You'll be able to watch every tv show and movie (that I've searched for) for free.
Also in better quality than Comcast. I have the X1 box and it looks like 720p resolution.
The difference is clear when you stream Amazon or Netflix at 1080p.
This doesn't answer the question at hand and yes it is another solution. What we are asking here is has anyone been able to get the current xfinity tv app to work on the firestick?
I actually got the new xfinity app to work on my fire tv, BUT i can't log in because it says you need internet explorer to log in. I used version 3.2.0.016 and i also tried the two versions after this version and they worked, BUT will not let you sign in your account. Is there any way i can download the app log in on my computer and then side load the app to the fire tv. I'm sure someone will figure this out. the tv go said they are not going to have it anymore, you can still watch some on demand movies on it, but no live TV.

Netflix TV mirroring (cast)

Is anyone able to cast netflix on tv using redmi2? which rom?
I'm trying since i was using miui, with the custom roms i always get black screen , sound and subtitles, but no image.

Hi, did you solve the problem? It's happening to me, too, and I can not find a solution.
I'm seeing this reported on various phones and various ROMs, rooted or not, since at least 2014, and nobody has a fix. Similar Reddit threads give clearing all Netflix app data or reinstalling the app as solutions, but on those threads the reported problem was not being able to start casting the screen at all.
I also have this everything-casts-but-the-video variant of the problem on my Redmi 3 with CM 12.1 and haven't found a solution. Tried reinstalling the app only to find that newer versions are incompatible with my phone and can't even be installed off the store (had to go back to v4.16.1 via apkmirror). Tried setting Force GPU Rendering and Disable HW Overlays in Developer Options, tried tweaking the screen DPI, tried streaming to a Miracast-capable dongle rather than directly to my Samsung TV - nothing worked.

Hello!
Thank you very much for this app. I sideloaded on my FTVS and it works great with Spotify. Unfortunately I can't detect it with any other app like Chrome / Youtube... Is this app able to cast only sound?
I was able to test it with chrome tab cast and screen mirroring from Windows computer
Install Google Home on your tablet, phone, whatever and go to cast screen.
This works great. Just gonna keep stuff like roms\emulators on my tablet primarily now.
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for apk. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I have installed your apk and googleHome Cast app. Moreover i installed the google play service for android tv. On my phone and my PC i can see the new "tv-stick-chromecast-device", but i don't can see anything if i try to send something from Phone or PC to the Stick. After opening the Chromecast app i tried to go to cast screen, but there is no device found. What i'm doing wrong, please help me. Thank you.
greetings
Sideloaded also and works perfect!!
Works perfect for me on fire stick 2nd gen nice one is it a full one or a trial ?
VERY cool!
It took me several times to get it to cast but it is works.
I hope this app sticks around longer than the last Google cast app for AFTV.

Hi josuelopezv:
What's so shameful. Developers give you a convenient to install android box without Google Play Service since you said you already buy it from Google PlayStore. But you leak it as piracy and don't think how many times developers spend to implement the Cast Protocol in house.

I thought this is forbidden/illegal? Shouldnt this thread or at least the APK have been deleted?
I do not have a problem to buy any app that has the right functionality.
Im just not used to see pirated content on here(?)
There is nothing illegal about this.

Same here. Casting from YouTube via Chrome on my laptop doesn't work but casting the whole screen does (never found a use for that though since the quality and latency make it pretty useless)
Yeah since I found a work around for the coming youtube/fire armageddon I'm not concerned. How are you casting the whole screen btw?
Dave
I use Google Home to steam everything and haven't had a hiccup. Even games work fine.
Thanks! I'll give this a shot. How is the apk in this thread different than the one in the play store?
Thanks for posting this. Is there any way to support the developer as this appears to be a premium version?
