[Q] Miracast tweak on Cyanogenmod 10.1 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I consider buying Netgear PTV3000, WiDi- and Miracast-enabled video stream box for TV. I know that stock S3 ROM supports it through AllShare. Hovewer, as I'm addicted to Cyanogenmod and flashing, I can't bear thought, that I'll have to reflash rooted stock or dual-boot stock and CM. Is there any tweak, that enables Miracast in Settings->Display? I've used something similar, when NFC in CM10.1 didn't work - it was recovery flashable zip. If it's lack of Samsung documentation and sources, maybe there is an app, working on Cyanogenmod 10.1, which mirrors phone screen in way supported by PTV3000?

I whould also like to know if miracast is possible on cyanogenmod?

Figuring it out soon
That makes 3 of us that are wanting to know. But I now have CM10.1 on my note 2 and I just ordered a PVT3000 so I guess I will figure this all out in the next week or so.

Make that 3 1/2
I cannot believe there is not more interrest in this....

on my Xperia Z, I can detect the Netgear PTV3000 and even try to connect to it but it will fair after a while (HDCP error).
at least there is hope that it can be fixed in future?
You can try under Settings => Display => Wireless Display
hope this helps!

this is one of the reasons I don't use cyanogen, that and the fact that it hasn't really changed the way it looks for several generations now, it really, really needs a visual refresh.
Has there been any recent update on screen mirroring?

is it worth it to root and upgrade to ics?

I got a 10.1 wifi recently and am wondering if its worth it to root now and get ics installed (with the -of no camera) or to wait untill samsung gets its act together, and get the offical version.
You're asking in an Android Hacking forum, we're all rooted and I'd bet 80% are running ICS .
If you can live without the camera then definitely go for it, if you're comfortable. You could be waiting a while on Samsung, they tend to delay such things.
If do decide to root it, don't be afraid to ask questions here. Welcome to XDA.
I don't know if the question asked is appropriate or a trick question considering this forum is completely dedicated to the benefits of hacking to gain maximum benefit.

It's really not very hard to try it out for yourself and see if you like it. You can always flash back to stock if you need to.
I have CM9 ICS on my personal tablet, but am still using 3.2 on my G-Tab 10.1 because I need the camera for work. I am running the Overcome ROM on it though, which gives me a little more options/flexibility than stock samsung.
but as far as performance, there is little difference between 3.2 HC and ICS (at least at this point). There are some UI differences that I like, but they are minor changes from honeycomb, so don't expect a huge difference on ICS.
Easy answer: yes, it is. And it's very easy to install ics. Just do it and have fun.
Three more questions:
Is there any other bugs besides the camera not working?
And any links to upto date root and ics (i think i read 4.0.4?)?
Is it not possible to get the camera drivers (which from what I have read is the missing link) from the old stock version?
Fyi I have the Samsung 10.1 wifi gt-p7510
Thank you guys already I am not trolling btw i have never rooted/ flash a new operating system on android and kind of afraid of bricking my tablet.

QBKing77 has great video instructions on YouTube,check it out. Very easy. Make sure you do a backup b4 putting a rom on and make sure it's for your Tab. Only issue I have ever had is no camera, but I knew that going in and I use my S2 for pics anyway. We can't get the camera because Sammy will not release the needed info. You can brick your tablet that's a risk but there r ways to unbrick, like I said just make sure the root method and from is for your version of the Galaxy Tab.

Once rooted you wont look back and its so easy and quick to do. Much more freedom IMO, I started with ICS and its great, but went back to HC just because of the camera. Such a shame, I have htc dhd phone rooted on ics and camera works fine, just a samsung thing.
As said previously, give it a try
Question about rooting what dose it allow you to do?
Rooting allows you to gain access to the system files, lets just say its like your employee ID to get into your company
i rooted my g tab to ics once, i guess it was worth it, but i went back to honeycomb because of the camera.
It's not like camera on a tab plays a great feature, because taking pictures with the tab is like using a laptop to take a 5MP picture.
I'd say I never use the camera on my tab.......... Until I flashed ics then I just kept needing it think it's just a case of wanting what you don't have.. So I'm back to HC.
Is there any good roms out there with the camera working? Sorry for the noob question, Im a new tab owner.

Sorry to bump this, but I'm curious to know if it's easy to replace the tablet for a decent price? That's really my only concern about rooting my tablet.
Of course it is, you are in the right place
i havent flashed the 10.1 to ICS purely because i use the camera for such things as skype or google hangouts.
so im using overcome rom, but i miss being able to group apps into a folder like ICS can do
ICS Or Not??? That is the Question!!!!
Over the last 6 months I have tried every ROM listed for the Galaxy Tab here on XDA, including ICS. I must say ICS offers better battery life, faster processing and better visuals, but I am like a few others and need the camera so I am sticking with Galaxy Task Rom. Out of all of them it is the most stable, and fastest giving me Quadrant Scores of just under 3100. Using ICS I was closer to 3600 and I thought at one point hit 3800, but I think that was a fluke, but then I had no camera, so back to 3.2. For me I have compiled the best apps I could to make my tablet a screamer.....If you have any others please let me know.
Galaxy Task
OC 1.4 Pershoot Kernel (is there a 1.5 or 1.6)
Swapper File @ 500mb (app)
SD Speed Boost set at 4000 (app)
Volume + set on Beats Emulation with +10 speaker increase (app)
Poweramp for a 10 band equalizer for great sound (app)
Now using the same apps with ICS made it ultra fast. But I wish the camera worked.
Definately appreciate everyone on here with their input.....my knowledge is only as good as flashing and recovery, but am trying to learn more as I move forward. Love the Galaxy Tab, it is my 10th tablet I have owned and my favorite. Now I have to figure out how to flash my Atrix 2 phone........love this site!!!!
Quick ques about ICS Roms [from what I've seen in Cm9/Muiu]
1. can you change screen mode [dynamic/movie/normal]
2. change font styles?
I don't remember seeing these options, but it was about a month ago when I flashed these Roms?

s-voice for ics only, even then it had to be modified as its exclusive for Samsung s3.
If it worked in gb even if it was not that good, surely it could be made to work in ics.

Mic and camera are at the bottom of the pile of things to do, getting an OS that was never designed for the TouchPad is no easy thing, drivers and wrappers have to be written from scratch with no support from HP. So have faith in the developers, remember most of them are either at full time work or school/college and are offering you there work for free, maybe you could ask HP to fix the camera and mic I think they would abandon that idea faster than they abandoned the TouchPad itself.

Exactly what BIGSimon said. CM9 is still ALPHA. Meaning some things will not work. Not everything that is released is perfect right away. Developing ROMs isn't always an easy task. What they have done in 5 months is pretty damn great.
yeah i know that. but i seem to recall that it at least halfway worked with cm7. plus, in a short time android will have another os version, jellybean or something. and then what? will cm9 be abandoned and work start with that one? and once again, the camera and mic will be pushed back down to the bottom of the list in order to work on more essential things? seems like a endless cycle

There's a big difference between Android 2.3.7 gingerbread and Android 4.0.4 ice cream sandwich which meant everything had to be re-written to work Android 5 jelly bean is more of an evolution of ICS so drivers will carry over, all the work that's been done now will mean that when JB is released the touchpad will get it a lot faster with everything working

JellyBean will be a minor update, it will have a version 4.1, it isn't as huge step as going from 2.3 to 4.0.
Anyway, sound is surely being worked on (developers (partially, maybe) have gotten rid of bad screen-off sound issue last week), and we will see some progress in a time. If you want a tablet with all features working out-of-the-box, i guess, you should buy another device.
The latest audiolibs seems to be working great. Too bad S-Voice is having connection problems. Anyone know how to resolve the server issues in S-Voice?

[Q] Best links to root and install ICS on a Galaxy Tab 10.1

My wife's Gingerbread Galaxy Tab 10.1 died and is going back for warranty repair. She is getting a new Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 with ICS becasue she can't "live" without it. When the old one comes back I get it to replace my old Viewsonic Gtab that I put ICS on. I'm looking forward to the improved viewing angle of the Galaxy tab.
Can someone refer me to the best XDA links I can go-to to root the Galaxy Tab and upgrade it to ICS?
First of all, you have to root it. There are many guides in development, but I like this:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15693193
Then in order to have cm9 (which in my opinion is better than aokp) flash this recovery with odin:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14020765
Then download cm9 and flash it with recovery (the various galaxy tablet builds are recognized by "p4"):
get.cm/?device=&type=nightly
Finally, if you want aokp, install rom manager from play and download latest cwm recovery. Then go here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459287
Remember when moving between cm9, aokp and honeycomb builds, always wipe data prior to flashing the new rom. That isn't necessary for updating the same build, like moving from one cm nightly to another.
Oh, last but definitely not least. All ics firmwares for our galaxy tab lack functioning camera, in case you don't know. The issue will be resolved when Samsung releases official ics for the tab.

Last thing first (so I don't get confused - I'm old). The Tab camera is not a high interest item for me BUT the Galaxy Tab 2 my wife is buying/bought is supposed to have 4.0 ICS on it. Wouldn't that be an official ICS?
Is there an alternative to Odin? For my Galaxy SII I used Calkuli's ICS ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527041 and did it straight from CWM. It's awesome.
I can do Odin but I've been a Linux user for years and try to avoid Windows. I disagree with their business practices of over inflated prices (ok I had to pay a lot for my Android devices but spending money on hardware is not quite the same). I feel similar about Apple but at least their hardware works better but still, they keep breaking the jailbreaks and keeping their software propitiatory.
didn't the GTab 10.1 came originally with Honeycomb ?
GTab 10.1 is not the same as the GTab 10.2 v2, hence the lack of support in ICS roms for the GTAB 10.1 camera... similar names different hardware, different drivers, different everything, just the same manufacturer/OS.
PS: I don't think it is really possible to update/flash new roms within linux (haven't tried it myself), just grab a copy of windows XP sp3 (wherever you can get it, free might be better), install it and update, keep that for updates or just scrap it.

Go to the rooting thread and download the recovery for 4G version. Then download the pershoot recovery for your device. Unzip the 4G version recovery, replace the cwm img with your own, zip it up and flash it through stock recovery. It worked flawlessly for my p7500.
Thanks for the advice. I ended up using ODIN and following these instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459287
It's pretty sweet.
The next thing I'm going to hopefully solve is getting the camera choice of the unlock screen. It's not on my Galaxy S II ICS install and on the Galaxy Tab if swiped by accident (on an purpose) it reboots the tab. Annoying. If I can't figure it out I guess I'll start a thread.
I had that reboot problem with aokp. Then I switched to cm and when you swipe to the left, you just get a message that camera doesn't work. And it's better and more stable imo. But anyway, I'm glad I helped to solve your problem.

Sorry for my denseness but what does "switched to cm" mean?

Can CM9 be flashed without a full wipe? I'm sorry I missed that point in your earlier post but now I understand a little more. I'd rather not do a factory reset since I just spent a boat-load of time downloading all my apps and carp and would like to avoid having to do it again.
The only thing with aokp I don't like is this camera on the lock screen and that you have to swipe to the right. Calkulins ICS on the Galaxy SII lockscreen lets me just unlock it no matter how or in what direction I swipe. Maybe that's just a phone feature that I was hoping was an ICS-regardless-of-device feature.
I guess my not being a tablet "photographer" I don't appreciate the spontaneity that one must expect to have. I actually pick up a real camera and sometimes even put the lens on it, take the lens cap off and turn it on before I take a photo.
I'm afraid that a wipe is always needed the first time you flash a firmware. You can try to flash without wipe and see how it goes. In order to flash cm9 you must have pershoot's recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090289.
Before you flash anything make a backup in recovery, so should something go wrong, you will return to the state you are now.
Oh well - practice makes perfect and I always learn something new. I'm a good community inhabitant and I DO try to share what I learn with others too. I certainly appreciate your patience with me and also appreciate your helping me get past my required 10 posts - developer threads, here I come....
I just thought of a question that is still on-topic.
Does CM9 USB support work. I'm doing what I need by either downloading or using dropbox. It would be nice to just plug it in. If it does then I'm installing it no matter how much of a PITA it will be to reset everything the way I like it.

Custom Rom and Dock Audio?

I have tried several versions CM9, CM10 and Paranoid ROMs but do not have dock audio working properly with any of them. I am specifically referring to the Samsung dash mount for the Galaxy Note. I am currently running CM10 from H0tW1r3 08.03.12 and when I go into settings/dock the option for routing the audio is greyed out. I am able to plug into the audio jack on the phone and it always works when I do that but would like to just plug into the dock and go and skip this setup if possible. Am I missing an APK?
Any help is appreciated, yes I searched and searched again. Thanks in advanced for your help!

CM9 has options for this in the settings, but support needs to be added in the kernel. At this point we have to wait for a dev to make it happen.

I'm using a samsung galaxy SII, I've tried the CM 10.2, but the dock audio does not work on that one. Any ROM that has this great feature? Unless I can find something real soon, I'll revert to stock, which i sad since samsung has dropped S2 support.
I know this is kind of old but i'm stuck here on the same issue. Seems like Samsung and other manufacturers(Motorola does so definitely) have USB audio solutions or the like built into their docking stations. If your Kernel/ROM does not recognize the chip used or does not have the appropriate routines, modules and drivers, you're out of luck.
I'm also having a Samsung P1000 and a docking station for it. It also does not work with anything else but stok or modded stock, even though the audio connection to the dock is purely analog and the HDMI out is plain&simple MHL.
I absolutely thick, this should be doable but i'm more of the hardware guy. If someone with interest to this matter requires some info on hardware like docks for Samsung Galaxy Note(v2 and upwards)/Galaxy Tab(any version)/Galaxy S(v2 and upwards) or for Motorola Atrix 4G i'm more than happy to tear these docks apart and dig deep for the info you need.
Hi!
Same problem here, with P1000 as a car tablet.
Dock audio works (only) on the newest HumberOS, but otherwise quite buggy rom. Youtube, HomeDJ, Spotify does´t work. Maps is laggy.... Not great for a car tablet.
AND Humber has stopped developing it.
But this meas, that it is doable, and I really hope, that someone would make this works.

[Q] Can I use an Ubuntu WiFi driver for Android 4.3/4.4?

Folks,
We're trying to get Android 4.4 working on the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet.
Actually, 4.4 is already working. But the WiFi never turns on. So we need a WiFi driver.
This tablet has the Marvell AVASTAR 350N WiFi adapter.
Their driver downloads can be found here:
http://www.marvell.com/support/downloads/search.do
So what do you think?
Ubuntu 13.X is working great on the Surface Pro. So I'm sure I could figure out how to extract its WiFi driver if it will work in Android?
Here is the Surface Pro/Android 4.4 links:

I don't think doing it that way will work, but you could try it... It should go in /lib/modules somewhere. Are you using a prebuilt androidx86 or building it from the source? What I would do is build it into the kernel source. If you're familiar with building a kernel at all this should give you an idea of what to do: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/MWIFIEX_USB.html that being said, I did see that even people running Ubuntu on the surface pro were having trouble getting WiFi to work.

I just bought an used Surface Pro two weeks ago and have been trying some different live cd Android Images of whom just the rerede.com Android IA 4.2.2 Release worked with wi-fi. I have also not yet installed a release on the SSD because I would like to know how well it is running (in terms of compability with apps)..
Could you share some of your experience please?
Did you manage to implement the driver in the 4.4 Kit Kat release?

No, I sold my Surface. It looks like WiFi will never work in 4.4.+ and if it does, it will never work 100% properly.

Thanks! It's a shame they won't offer a "real" driver for Android, since a lot of other win8 devices do :/
Maybe the community will come up with a solution someday.
