So by saying the icon remains gray, are you refering to the icon in the status bar? or? elaborate

Am on HD2 magldr , 150/44 partition

Then I installed everything again, starting from task 29 and this time Leo manages to connect wifi but always with the help of wifimanager. I followed the directions from fardjad discussion.
Cheers

Okay I'll give it a try but I think it is a rom issue.

Ahh, okay the color of the icon means if its fully connected or not. So can you browse the web and use data requiring apps? When it changes colors (blue i believe is the stock) it means its successfully logged you in. Double check you have an account added under the Accounts and sync settings. Ive had this happen on ICS and it was a setting. It had to do with background data or something like that.

I haven't met this kind of case, are you sure that you are right?

Yes, it happens in GB as well. When the device can completely communticate with (im guessing)Google Servers, then it changes the color of the status bar icon. Same thing happens with data connections as well.

Hey.
I did a task 29 wipe and reinstalled the rom but the wifi still not working I even flashed the update but still not working and even more after the update the 3G connection didn't work ether. Help please I cannot go in to the Google play

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

Photos dissapered from stock Gallery

Hi all. I have a problem, all of my photos just dissapered from stock Gallery app (Camera, WhatsApp, Screenshot, Viber...). I tried cleaning Gallery data, restarting phone,... - nothing works. Not even Google Photos can see stored photos.
Side note: Photos are not deleted, I can see and open them via My Files app. Also, there is no .nomedia file in any of Camera, WhatsApp,... folder.
Any ideas?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3345992
Please read my post. Also can you think of what you might have done to produce this?

Thanks for replay, just tried "Media Re.Scan" - no luck, Gallery is still empty, even after restart. :/ "QuickPic" for some reason works.
Hmmm, I have no idea. I was playing with Camera, trying out Burst mode. After I deleted burst Gallery went crazy.

I thought I had the same issue but when I sort my gallery by time, my pictures show up. If I change back to Album, they disappear again.

Did you remove the .nomedia files. Try restarting then running the media scan.
Oh I just remembered, for some reason I had to also cut and paste the photos to a new folder. That was the step I missed. So after;
1. Deleting .nomedia files in the folders you want appearing in the gallery (make sure hidden files are shown)
2. Restart phone
3. Run media Re.scan
4. Create a folder within the DCIM folder or which ever folder your pics are located and cut and pate pictures to the new folder.
5. Photos should appear. If not restart and media scan again.
It's not that this particular order is what rectified my problem. It just happens that I performed them in that particular order. So it's hard to say which exact steps are necessary
Please let me know how you go.

Mine is always empty, regardless of sorting.
@ih8un
Still nothing.
I double checked for .nomedia files, also, "QuickPic" is showing photos just fine.
Thing is new photos do show up in Gallery (Camera, Screenshot...) but old ones won't.

Bump
Sorry I have to bump this thread because I'm having the exact same issue! Is there anyone that can help?! I would just disable gallery app as quick pic interface looks better, but most of the other apps are linked to the gallery app like the camera preview picture button and whatsapp take a picture function!

No problem, hit the thanks button whenever you got time

Hi All,
I'm having a similar problem, in that the first few pictures show up, but the rest are just black.
It happens in Instagram, Google Drive, Dropbox etc...
How do I do the Media Re.scan? Also, how do i enable CMH Provider?
I'm not rooted

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.

Agreed, after owning a Nexus 6P ... I really miss being able to pull down the notification shade and just cast my screen to my TV ... +1 if anyone could find/make a mod for this!

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

For now I'm using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jaredharen.harvest to place a Cast tile that launches Google Home app. From in that app I can cast my screen.
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.
