I am lookung for a cheap device with WiFi display feature - maybe Miracast
I wonder if a special hardware is it necessary for it? Or maybe Android 4.2 has this feature out of the box in any device?

The rear visibility out of my car is particularly poor so I'm wanting to set up a reversing camera and I'm hoping there may be a way I'd be able to use my phone to display the image from the camera. I currently use the SGS3 as a sat. nav. device and would like to be able to use the same display for the reversing camera. Does anyone know a way it can be done?
Hmm, interesting one. I could suggest that you have a cheap Ethernet security camera and use a webpage on your phone to display it?
USB Video Capture device but you'd need a driver for it.
You could use a Samsung SH100 camera maybe, that connects to Android phones wirelessly and lets you see through the viewfinder on your phone.

I think it needs special hardware
Sent from my PIXELDROID HD2 using XDA
works
u dont have to have special hardware i think.. i got a china phone with 4.2.1 and it works with a chineese miracast dongle.. but my problem now is that u cannot have bluetooth and miracast on at the same time.. i am looking for a workaround :S
Chromecast.. Future just came...
I just got a Netgear Push2TV 3000, which not only encompases WiDi, but Miracast support in this version.
From what my indersstand is though, is that both these WiDi and Miracast technologies are basically just wireless HDMI anyway.
My question is if it's possible to come up with a mod to work to allow any (or at least most) rooted phones with a ROM like CM that intergrate Miracast into their settings for every build?
Just wondering if this was possible. This would be a really welcomed feature,
PS...I did try doing just that with my droid 4 running CM 10,1 with its wifi direct setting..it said it was connectining, anazingly...but nothing else after that. =/
Anyway, if anybody know if **** is at all possoble accomplish, please let me know, if you could. Thanks.
Hey there. Connecting via WiFi Direct through the Settings menu only sets up the layer 3 connection. To make a function like Miracast work, you need a Miracast-supported app to sit on top of WiFi Direct. MiraCast is a standard that is certified by the same governing body as the one that certifies WiFi Direct, so MiraCast is actually built on top of WiFi Direct. WiDi is an Intel led standard that nobody uses.
i would love to see an app capable of this be developed, it would be awesome to be able to display the screen on my phone on the TV without wires
Could someone tell me why its impossible to find a universal Bluetooth patch for EXTERNAL usb Bluetooth dongles? One that will add the full Bluetooth feature to the devices "born" without build-in Bluetooth.
We are so many that bought these Android tablets thinking that we could just plug in a Bluetooth usb dongle - for why would that feature be missing in Android, bluetooth has been around for so many years even before anyone thought of android.
So why is this left out of the kernel, it should be as basic as Wi-Fi?
Come on XDA developers - make a universal driver, then get people to test it and add their devices to the list of working.
Doesn't bluetooth work in linux? And isn't Android based on linux?
So why is it so hard to make the driver/patch?
Or is it simply that most developers think that bluetooth is obsolete - So never mind?
With kind regards

Hi I am new to these forums. I have a amicroe force tablet running jellybean 2.2. My tablet does not have bluetooth, I want to buy a USB dongle for Bluetooth but I don't have the Bluetooth setting screen so even if the dongle works I don't have a way to search and pair devices. Is there a way I can just download the android on my phone add the code required to add the Bluetooth settings screen then flash it back onto tablet. So everything works properly.
Thanks let me know if you need more info. Sorry if I got some of the "lingo" wrong.
