Fix for Chromecast Mirror (Cast Screen) - G2 General

I take no credit for this, a member named Murdoch1 posted a fix in the Mahdi ROM forum, I'm just sharing.
The fix is a build prop change.
1) Navigate to system/buildprop using a root explorer (I use the Root Explorer app)
2) Open the build prop in a text editor.
3) Scroll down until you see two "ro.product.device=d800 (Mine says d800 because I have the AT&T G2, so yours might say something else)
4) Thanks to Eduqay, you also need to change "ro.product.model=" make sure it says "ro.product.model=hammerhead".
5) Change whatever is after the = sign to "hammerhead - for example: ro.product.device=hammerhead.
You might have to change one, save, then reopen the build prop file and change the other for it to stick.
Reboot and have fun!

Thanks but not works here (d802 CloudyG3 1.2).

Not work (Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 + Android 4.4.4 + CyanogenMod 11-20140711-NIGHTLY-i9100)

Save & restart the Phone. It's brillant

What am I doing wrong, I can't seem to get the file to save when I changed it to hammerhead. The only time I was able to save it was when I moved it to my sdcard but when I try to move it back to system\, the copy failed
edit:nevermind got it to work

Thank You!!! This def worked. Thanks for the picture also!

On step 3 you said:
3) Scroll down until you see two "ro.product.device=d800 (Mine says d800 because I have the AT&T G2, so yours might say something else)
Do we need to change the ro.product.device= or leave it the same?

Different problem here, about 10 second lag using screen mirroring but audio works fine with minimal issues (Spotify for example). Netflix/youtube/etc all work fine when using the built in cast buttons.
Happens on stock and CloudyG3, factory reset didn't help anything. All works perfectly on a 2013 Nexus 7 using the same chromecast/network so it is something with my G2.

It needs to be changed to "ro.product.device=hammerhead"

why "fixing" things? G2 is officially supported and works flawlessly for screen casting.

Didn't work for me. Maybe cause I'm using netgear push2tv3000 dongle, but I was really hoping this was my solution. Anybody know of a good aosp ROM with working cast screen option

Chromecast Mirror (Cast Screen) issue on LG TV
Tried the suggested changes in build.prop (after rooting) but "cast" doesn't work from mobile
(LG Nexus 5, Marshmallow, hammerhead, Android 6.0.1, US make) on a smart tv (LG 55UC970T)
with a built-in Chromecast, purchased in India. Content sharing works with third party apps. Under
Screen Share option on TV, mobile does show the TV name '[LG]WebOS' but sooon disappears
without allowing us to click. Kindly suggest a workaround.

Netflix For Tablets?

Edit:
Finally able to use Netflix on my Verizon 4G GT10.1. Here'S how.
Credits to yincrash
copy the transformer patch on to /sdcard/ from HERE
turn off the galaxy tab
press and hold the power button
once the samsung logo appears press and hold volume up
let go of the buttons once the android icons appear
android icon with downloading... text will be blinking, press volume up to move the blinking to the left to the box icon with the arrow
press volume down to select that. now we're in the android system recovery menu
press volume down to move selected text to 'apply update from /sdcard'
press power button to select that option
use the volume down button to scroll down to the transformer update zip
press the power button to select that zip
let android start up
install the netflix apk
watch netflix videos
Here you go:
http://db.tt/cGg5jzv
(I actually didn't mean to hit the thanks button on your post but it's really easy to fat finger this site on a tablet. You can hit thanks for me, though!)
Netflix hasn't released a tablet app yet so this is the mobile version blown up. Don't hold your breath for a native tablet app.

There's a tablet release for Netflix, but its only exclusive to the tablet I mention in my post per Netflix support.
Well, side load that apk I linked and you can watch Netflix on your Galaxy now. e
Didn't work like I previously stated.

Yep this does work....BUT I had to root my LTE before applying the patch as it wouldn't update/modify the libnvomx.so file. After rooting the patch worked fine for me and so has netflix.
I'm thinking maybe you should have mentioned that yincrash states that he did this on an unlocked SCH-I905. That may affect the result.

The reason I didnt mention that it was unlocked is because mine is not unlocked and it worked properly. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Agreed, I'm also unrooted, and my device is pretty much fresh out the box w/sim and I was able to just run the patch on my device and bamm! Netflix working.

Weird thing going on with my galaxy tab 10.1 and play store

This probably could be asked in the galaxy tab 10.1 section but it happened with my Captivate also and I feel like I can get a better answer here.
So for the longest time I kept my Tab stock and the play store works fine with no issues. I then decided to flash a rom (AOKP build 28) and now I recently noticed that when I go into the play store and check at which apps are compatible with my tablet, it shows my tab twice in the list, like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(Note the tab is the GT-P7510)
For the record, this doesn't bug me. I would just like to know if anybody know why this is happening and how I can remove it so that it only shows the devices once? As you can see it is showing up for my old Samsung Captivate as well (SGH-i897).

It was happening on my tablet too, when I flashed a new ROM, don't know why...
To remove the unneeded ones click on the little gear in the top right and select (something)&Devices and there just click on the Devices tab.

Awesome that worked perfectly. Thanks a lot. It is also nice to give it a proper name also rather than just seeing the model number there.
I am guessing that the market sees the roms as a new device so it just adds it to the list of devices which you own...unless someone has a better explanation for it.
At a guess I would say that flashing a custom rom must change some piece of data that the market uses to identify your device, thus making it think that it's a different device after you flash it.
I tried to recreate this bug, but couldnt. So I don't think it's flashing different roms that was causing it.
Here's my devices list.
Everything except for the HTC Wildfire is my tablet.
(Some ROMs use a Galaxy Tab 7 build.prop, some use Galaxy S II )

Kindle Fire HD 7" Tablet APP UI

So, I noticed there are literally 0 threads on how to enforce the Tablet UI on apps inside of our device. I realize that this may be common sense to some people but I figured there would be SOMETHING. However to my knowledge it is not included in any rom available (other than the new PA rom by -a-, Props to him for making the attempt) that includes a tablet UI of any kind. So here is the very simple method.
Tweaks:
1. Download ROM toolbox LITE
2. Open ROM toolbox LITE
3. Slide over to PERFORMANCE
4. TAP BUILD.PROP Editor
5. Find ro.sf.lcd_density (IN CM10.1 this is set to 213 by default)
6. Change this to 160 to avoid any conflicting issues with the market.
7. Reboot as instructed by ROM toolbox LITe
8. Everything except Status bar will now run in Tablet mode. (im workin on it lol)
9. PROfIT.

Im using his 10.1 and there are no play store issues with tablet mode enabled. Probably just an unupdated OP. This works perfectly, and I will stand by that, I have not had any issues so far with anything I have done and much prefer it.
Im just tired so im sorry if anything I say comes off rude. This works perfectly fine on CM10.1 for our device, it may not have for a previous version of his rom, it does for his current.
Not rude at all. We are all here just helping one another.

Hi!
I have a little bit different question about smart remote.
I would like to use Samsung Samrt View app, but I can't belive that, our device don't support Smart view application like as S4!!!? I heard that it is working with suck Iphone 4S!!!!
I have a Samsung ue40f6500 smart TV, and I'd like to use it between my phone and TV.
Sorry my poor english! :cyclops:
This is working on CM 10.2? I tried on CM 10.1 and it didn't work. .. That's the only reason I switched to Samsung stock Rom.. This all is really useful for me and if it really works on s4 mini with CM 10.2 it's great

cannot download from play store with gs4 GPE i9505g, but the OP works on 4.4.2
Wohoo!
I have CM10.2 and I can download it fine on the Play Store. Works OK too...
In CM 11 Nightlies when I try to turn on my daikin air conditioner the first code doesn't works because the working code is the second.. but when I tap next code system freezes and restarts itself
Can anybody make a CWM flashable WatchOn package ?
Info:
I'm on CM10.2 and successfully downloaded/installed from Google Play Store.
App works well with my old Sony CRT TV but doesn't work with new LG LCD TV.
I think this is the app's problem

Already booted and running. Rom is buttery smooth and everything that should be working is working. LTE/Data is functional on the first boot. NFC still borked. GPS locked with no issues. Bluetooth with my Moto 360 appears to be working as it should be. Only thing I've seen so far that's kinda weird is with the DPI. If you look in the top right of the posted photo, the DPI has the buttons in the settings area super tiny. Otherwise it's totally on-par with CM12 right now. Nice work! Can't wait to see what direction this one will go in!
Edit: Instead of saying "no sim card" the lockscreen now says, "SIM/RUIM IS PERSO LOCKED - SPRINT". I find that funnier, somehow. Lol
