Hi chaps/chapesses
Quick question that someone can hopefully help answer..
Chromecast screen mirroring on my S2. I currently have Jellysnap rom on it due to the fact that the utter! app doesn't work properly with my Bluetooth car adaptor (Avantalk) when using Cyanogenmod 11 Kitkat (I really like it because of its offline capabilities as I am on PAYG with no mobile data) .
I was just wondering if anyone has had any success screen mirroring their S2 to their Chromecast with any kitkat rom. I don't really want to start over again installing kitkat if at the end of it, the screen mirroring doesn't work so I was just wondering if anyone out there in xda land had already tried it?
Ive searched the forums and cant see this question relating to the S2 with a kitkat rom but can see others have asked the same about other devices...
If no one has tried it, I might just bite the bullet and report back on any success/failure...

Hey y'all,
Let me push this topic a little bit. Since it was opened a lot has happened in that area. After r3pwn has closed his thread, because google has implemented native mirroring support into the chromecast app for Kitkat devices, the platform for discussion was closed as well.
I'm facing similar issues as the topic opener. I'm using my i9100 with cm11 m12, latest chromecast app, which works fine, e.g. YouTube. However, once I start screen cast, the TV screen becomes black. After each few seconds the app tells me, that the cast connection was disconnected and the chrome standard screen is shown on TV. After several trys the screen stays black. Does anyone have an idea how to make this work.? According to several posts it should be possible...

It is working for me now. I am using Markox89's latest custom CM based rom (20141220) and screen mirroring works but only if I use Mirror Enabler from r3pwn which I find strange. Even though I have downloaded the latest version of the Chromecast app which is supposed to allow all devices to screen mirror, the mirroring doesnt work - I get the same as above, screen stays blank and I get disconnect messages on the phone a short while later. Doesnt matter which way I try (either via the option within the Chromecast app or via the Settings/Display/Cast Screen option within the Rom itself) The only way I can get it to work is to continue to use r3pwn's Mirror Enabler app and I think it was only v5 that worked as well (tried v6 and v7 but still got the black screen followed by a disconnect and before I could ask about that he had closed the thread). Once I had done this and got it working, I now have a Cast Screen tile appear automatically after I go to Settings on my phone so I dont even have to open the Chromecast app to screen mirror any more so the phone automatically sees the Chromecast now Personally I think r3pwn has closed his thread too soon but not heard anyone else having a problem without using his Mirror Enabler app since the latest Chromecast app update. I will just keep his apk's safe.
I know this sounds silly, but have you tried a reboot of the Chromecast as well? I actually rebooted it with the button held down which factory defaulted it and I just re-set it all back up using the Chromecast app to my Wifi etc. This MIGHT have been the fix but as I am unwilling to mess with Roms now that it is working, I am staying put.

i tried v5 as you said and it worked but mirroring is very slow.

Yea, for me v5 also works and it's also super slow.
Yeah it is slow for me too but I think thats unfortunately the device capabilities.. Ive not seen or heard of it being very responsive on the S2 but at least it works.. Not sure why v6 and v7 of Mirror Enabler dont work - a shame as there might be speed improvements in those versions but neither work for me, just says straight away that casting has ended when using either version.

I have been using this ROM for some time now, and since the update allowing super user its has worked rather well,
I was wondering if anyone can post some fixes for the following problems (I'm a new user so I cannot post on the development page),
the audio does not work with headphones, I have tried many different types but it will simply play music out loud with or without headphones,
the inbuilt themes, I can download them and apply them but the theme will not change,
poor 3g connection, very tempremental but usable, (I did not have this issue with cm9 mini, cm7 or prime)
wifi - it can detect wifi but when I attempt to connect it is a failure, could this possible be due to my router ??
rotation - auto rotate does not work making it slightly harder to use on-screen keyboard
I can confirm a good battery life, specially in comparison to cm9,
runes smoothly, good battery life and smooth interface with 748MHz-19MHz [smartassV2] overclocking
If any one can make and update.zip or send me specific .apk's ect to fix any of these issues please do so, further more I would like for someone to post the issue of the headphones not being recognized on the actual thread,

I have the latest ICS kernel installed and it worked fine with nAn's CM9 port but it very temperamental on miui, my on screen keyboard will not appear at times whilst other times it works relatively well or my screen will not wake after it is unlocked (i will be able to unlock the screen and click on apps but the screen is completely off) the only way I can fix it is locking and unlocking the screen multiple times so it catches up :S
but by far the headphone jack not recognizing any of my headphones including the standard set you get with the phone is my biggest issue, I love my music, the issues hasn't been mentioned on the ROM page so I'm unaware if its just effecting me, which would mean I've done something wrong or it is an actual bug that has been overlooked
thank you for the quick response by the way :good:
There is another MIUI rom, by stelios97, where the headphones don't work either, but he suggests a workaround Take a look here and see if that fixes your problem.

thank you very much :victory: took some searching since the attachment wasn't present in the post & found it here http://code.google.com/p/toggleheadset/downloads/detail?name=ToggleHeadset.apk works like a charm :good:
I've done as much searching on these issues and I cannot find anywhere that references my particular symptoms. I've tried both AOKP 4.2.1 latest release and supernexus 2.0, and the fact that the exact same issues happen on both roms I would assume it's either a 4.2.1 problem or just some particular issues with my device...
1.) just about every video playing app has some sort of problem. Biggest example being the Twitch tv app only playing audio, screen is black except for menu options. Trying to go back crashes the app. flash video embedded on Web pages (installed flash so regular browser supports flash) works until you try to watch full screened, which makes the browser lock up until you force the process closed. youtube, like the twitch tv app, will only show a black screen where the video should be, however everything else shows up fine (examples being menus and, most interestingly, the preview pics that appear as you scroll through the video show up, but when it buffers it's back to black screen) For the record, I had to install the fix here to get netflix to get even that far, as before it would just stick at the loading screen when trying to play a video.
2.) SwiftKey loses its languages after each reboot where typing does not bring up any predictions (boxes where they would be are blank), and the only way to get it working is to go into languages in SwiftKey settings and updating them. I saw some other places describing the same issues with jellybean but i couldn't find if there was a solution.
3.) connecting to my car via Bluetooth and listening to music (power amp currently installed), if i get a call while music is playing the device will lock up for several seconds and the only way to get everything back to normal is to turn off bluetooth once the phone actually starts responding, call the person back on the device, and then reconnect via bluetooth and continue the music only at that point.
Any help or guidance or info on any of these issues would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
if any of the issues I mentioned are discussed elsewhere that I just haven't found, would anyone be able to link me to the thread/article where it's discussed? or if there just isn't any way around it, let me know so I can just put an ics rom back on

Why not drop back to 4.1.2 rather than ICS?
Bluetooth is a know issue with 4.2. Never seen the swiftkey issue before, but quite a few apps are not compatible with 4.2 yet.
SwiftKey is a reported bug with the gs2

the video issue is the biggest issue in terms of affecting my day to day use, as i like to watch streams from twitch.tv as well as having netflix that works (has anyone seen or heard about the netflix issue i described? thought that was particularly weird...). I guess I could try a 4.1.2 rom before going all the way back to ics, but if it means more apps/features are stable and compatible compared to either version of jb, then that's the way i'd probably go. thanks for the replies

if you're referring to the fix i linked in the op referencing the stuck at loading issue where the fix is to install xposed, that was the only way i even got past the loading screen initially which brought me to the issue I described. if there is another fix he provided for the issue, i'd be interested in seeing the link if you could provide.
I switched to shostock3 using 4.1.2 and everything is working perfectly fine, so I guess all the issues, officially confirmed as problems or not, are 4.2.1 related. I'd still be curious to see if any further fixes exist as I definitely liked the supernexus rom and would love to use it if I can get everything working.

I'm having similar issues:
- SwiftKey works fine
- Google+ Hangout during a call video rendering is all glitchy, often freezes and crashes.
- Skype calls work fine
- Chrome freezes and crashes often
- Gmail Reply All either adds me to CC (if not updated to the latest version) or removes one address from the list (if updated). Saw other threads on this issue but couldn't fix it.
- Automatic timezone switches to GMT
Feels like most of the google apps aren't working for me, but rather than that the rom is cool would definitely want to fix the issues.
Just got one to play with. and so far feeling ok with it..
But..
Why would you go and make the "Back, Home, Resent apps" buttons that are core to Android not be there?
Anyway, I got a feeling its only going to be an edit of a system file and we should be able to get them back working..
Its running JB 4.1.2
Anyone got any idea's how I can go about doing this?
As I am using team EOS 4 on the TF101, with thier nice way of having seperate EOS ability to edit the size, postion of these buttons in question..
Is is fesiable for me to grab the EOS apk and move it into this Rom an see if it works?
I am also thinking that something like LMK might be able to work too, but would have to be worked via mouse inputs not touch..
Any pointers in the right direction would be great thanks..
Also, I will use this thread ed as a bit of a collection of handy hints for these box's as I am sure they are going to up there in the development circle once they become a bit more available to the masses..

I know there are many posts about this but it took me a while to understand how it works and there is no single thread which has the information gathered in the first post, so I decided to make this. Sorry if it uneeded.
Anyone who want's to use on screen NavBar buttons, he's lucky! (at least compared to ICS).
Now, by adding in
the line
you get the navigation bar (after reboot) and at the same time Android system recognizes this and adds the three dot menu icon whenever needed*!
If you want to disable the hardware keys, edit the file
These are the three hardware buttons
Add a # before any you don't wan't to use any more. I did for 158 and 139 and left my Home button working.
There is a mod** (flash it in recovery) which makes the bar almost half the size. It's better looking and less space is wasted but it does get some time to get used to it and you might need a couple of tries sometimes when trying to hit those buttons.
*This wasn't the case for ICS.

Haven't had much time to put it through its paces as been travelling for work.
But here are some thoughts on it so far..
I have just upgraded to "update_Mygica_20130314.img"
http://up.stdvr.com/mygica/android/A...a_20130314.img
Like the new bigger pointer for the mouse, also it seems to have brought back the remote controls as I had lost those but I still have to manually turn it off.
I swap out the Chinese launcher with Apex launcher - Apex runs nicely and can back up all the settings and screens so are happy with this.
Speeds and Kernel controls :
As pretty much the same as the M1-M3 box's - until we have developers that are hacking these to suit our needs we are locked in the the Geniatech/MyGicia/Privos setting's - Which I hope in the not to distant future we get some of the phone/Tablet kernel guru's turning up and opening these kernels up for us to adjust the speeds in which these can run.
Using CPU Master I am able to get it to run @ 1540 after boot but the settings don't stick and from the readings I have done this is in the way they have setup the Init.d..
What is Init.d?

CMW type recovery:

How I do it -XBMC-addons
As I seem to be installing multi-able versions of XMBC and or firmware upgrades, I have now got a set pattern in which I can reset most of my fav addons back up.. it maybe a little long winded for some but works for me as I find that I lose addons if I don't keep track of them thus I have them saved to a NAS drive. I access them via this method to re-setup.
1: Load the NAS directory up using CIF manager.
2: In XBMC -Go in to "System-Addons-install from zip
3: Go in to "Root file system" then "mnt" then 'cifs' then a 'XBMC' directory where I keep a backup of all my depositories that I use. ( over the last 12 months I have collected a nice bunch of them from around the traps)
Remotes:
Droidmote : I had it going the first time I set the box up in a hotel room using my Asus portable wifi router and had the accelerometer working nicely on a few games. but since I have been back to my home network I have not been able to get it to work - just tested it with that modem again and its not working, so i would say the uniput needs to be loaded up via a script again. Will play with it when get time.

I got a feeling that you have to have the bubblepnp going then this may work in with this server and remote.

As I am here in the middle kingdom- I have to have things to entertain the guests so found this bundle - I am not sure how many will work outside of China but some are actually pretty good once you get the hang of how to use them.

Cant pin it down to anyone one thing as yet..
Doesn't seem to get hot so thats not it as I have a USB laptop fan under it, seems to be when I change out to another input on the TV and or I leave it idle for some time, kinda goes in to sleep and not come out it.. got to reboot.
Another thing on the lastest MyGica roms is the lack of Home' 'Back' 'Search' 'Back' 'Recent Task' 'Menu' buttons.

Downlload and don't unzip, copy to SD card or USB disk, connect to the box and run upgrade->local update, select the SPI file to update first, after finished, it will restart the box, then, do the same steps to update the firmware, and XBMC is still xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-20130223.apk.
Above is a new firmware for Geniatech's dual core box, it fixed 4:3/16:9 aspect ratio and android bar problems of XBMC.

Upgraded to this one today.. Working smoothly.
Haven't had time to play with XBMC builds on it but was streaming off PPTV most of the day..
Not sure if it was the box or the network.. Seemed to encounter the ethernet problem after about 2 hours where the stream was caught up.
Switched out to wifi and ran the same stream for a while.. Then switched back to ethernet and no problems.. Maybe a net problem and or that old bug is still hanging round..
Overall zippy as hell but I am also running the Seeder app to keep the Random Entropy up to 4096.
We can clock up to 1512mhz and change out to performance governor but min seems to be locked in at 48mhz which seems a bit low.
But with that being said.. It shows that it actually sits down between 72mhz & 336mhz on low loads.
Navigation buttons are back plus a new screen shot one..
I also noticed in settings there is a new EASYLINK option.. Maybe some like a new remote control app or airplay?
Anyone got info on it?

has anybody used the component out on a mygica atv1200? i swear the blue and green are reversed. i've tried 2 sets of cables. i hooked from mygica to computer and tv. both will not display until i put blue cable in green and green in blue on the mygica box.. and obviously when i do this it messes up the colors. has anyone else noticed this? i tried taking out the hdmi as well and got the same results. i'd love it if someone could confirm i'm either right, or i simply have a bad box. thanks. i've also tried with different firmwares. including the 3/26. i'm now on 1/15.
Did anybody try that DroidMote server. I think I have problem with that uinput. I've downloaded it and made som changes with terminal emulator following instructions, still no moves... Please advice...
make sure it is rooted and goto the system folder and edit build.prop and add a line of code on a new line at the bottom:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
and reboot the device to get those buttons.

Works out of the box for me..
One thing I do is test the network I am on..
i.e test it with my TF-001 to make sure its working, then test it on the ATV1200.
As my other box I had to do some mods on it to get it to work..
but overall works great.. play a few games with it..

Thanks for answer. It works nice on the new firmware!
Another question. I faced to weird shutdowns during normal operation (browsing, video playing). It happens very frequently and I did everything, updated firmware, did several resets - no success. Any suggestions what it might be?
ADD
I found that it was not device issue but my TV set... It works smoothly on my neighbour's TV. If I could only know that they'll be incompatible... TV Firmware update - no success. Buying new TV for my box is ridiculous

Bear' before I reply I need to check my setup again to see what is what..
Just shifted cities here in China so its been a big few weeks..
I have got the box working into the Synology NAS and it is working without me playing with the CIFs setup.
But I have used the Networking program that came with the firmware and set it to auto mount the video and TV folders on the NAS.
I also need to find some time to setup XBMC again due to this new update.
And also test the new internet connection I have got..

well thanks for this initial reply.
i have not been able to get cifs manager to work at all without a cifs.ko module. i have got an smb share connected in xbmc, but it seems unreliable.
anyone know how to get cifs manager working on this type of box (geniatech/mygica), i think i need to download the cifs.ko mdule but i don't know where to get it.
any new dgcruzing?
how did you get cifs manager working?

i used Mount Manager from the PlayStore and it worked flawlessly
I am getting a Green light on the box and it won't respond anymore. This happens when I leave it sit for a while. Any help? Seems to be some kind of sleep or standby, but it won't wake from it unless I unplug it and then plug it back in.
Try a firmware upgrade..dont know what you are on..but only go to 05 - 4.1.2 dont go to 4.2.2 unless you are prepared for troubles..
We have plenty on it over @ xbmc.org threads

I have bought this box 3 days ago. Now i habe a Problem. When i use the droitmode app and use the multitouch swipe , the indicator stays in the screen. It does not disappear. I am in the latest Firmware. Plus i cant update the busybox. After updating my Firmware is totally screwed.
Are there any custom roms for this box?
Thanks for your help

They're not stable yet. ie. you can expect random reboots for no apparent reason at all. On the other hand I can confirm that almost everything is working on all roms. I am on CM12 and am loving its neat UI.
Yup just as jnx_r said expect random stuff to occur because the roms aren't quite there yet. At least 95% functionality with a side of randomness. The UI is something to behold and is really fluid. While I ran it, I had little lag and no random reboots, except when I forgot to charge the phone and let the battery almost die; that sent the phone into a crazy bootloop. But, don't be afraid to try it out on your own, just make sure you read and understand before flashing. And ALWAYS make a nandroid. You should always have an escape plan to fall back on in case crap hits the fan.
What about stuff like camera, Facebook video upload and Snapchat video recording? I've been on Cm11 for many months and always have issues with the camera, facebook video uploads hanging and snapchat video recording not working.

Cant answer about facebook upload or snapchat because i dont use them sorry, but as for the camera, on archi's cm12 rom the stock one doesnt work without a fix so its recommended to use google camera but even then when i used it after 2 days that stopped working for me.

I got the camera can't connect error too. But restarting the phone fixed the issue. Anyways, the main thing is that is not that frequent ie. completely usable.

Yeah that's true, it's still usable and will get fixed hopefully in the next release
All questions need to go into the Q&A area and not the general area.
I will get a mod to move it for you this time but next time post in the right area or ask a mod to move it for you.
Considering the fact that remix os is based off of the work of android x86 project, has anybody been successfull in using a screen recording app? I have tried almost each and everyone and failed.
So, can anybody give me any pointers so as to have a decent screen recording app.
PS: SCR, the best recording app, has failed. So, please dont suggest me that. Works on my phone though, so I got that going for Me, which is nice.
You can try Telecine. I haven't tested it on Remix OS yet though.

Donkey balls! Does not work!
Thanks for the reply though. Maybe, once we know all that does not work, maybe we would find the one that does.

Okay, so not being an a-hole or anything, but since I am, I will ask again, has anybody been able to use a screen recording app or anything of the sort? ANd please tell me something that you have tried and tested, not suggestions but give me the name of the app that you have personally tried on your remix installation.
I have even tried the adb method. Does not work.
abd shell screenrecord /sdcard/screenrecord.mp4

If the adb method does not work then it means that Remix does not have it baked in. I recall now that the same thing happened with DuoOS, apps didn't work but I didn't try the adb method.
adb works in Bluestacks based on Android 4.4. I have not tried the new one based on Android 5.

That sucks, because I dont like bluestacks anyways. But, I think screen recording does not work on any android os based off of x86 android project kernel. Well, that just blows big time. Donkey balls, if you ask me.
Jesus H. Christ! Has nobody even bothered to try screen recording or screen mirroring? Would anybody be kind enough for a solution or something? This is pretty ridiculous, the jide forum is infested with questions and nobody answers them and on xda too, nobody from their team even bothers to look into some crucial matters.
Guys, seriously, anything that can move this matter into the right direction will be appreciated.

It sadly does not. I am on the newest version and because my hdmi out does not work, I decided to try screen recording apps. Sadly non of them work, rooted or not.
Apps tried:
- AZ Screen Recorder (App doesn't open at all)
- ADV Screen Recorder (Does nothing at all no matter how many times I push record button)
- Lollipop Screen Recorder (After hitting the record button it thinks for about a minute or so and then freezes requiring force close)
- Mobizen: Screen Recorder (Force closes)
- Unlimited Screen Recorder (Won't start. "Error while setting up recording perameters. Try using different settings.")
- Smart Pixel (Force closes after about 5-10 seconds)
Like I said, I wouldn't need to use these apps if the hdmi out worked because then I could use my Elgato hd60... But not only does that not work, but neither do these apps and neither does rooting.
Anyone else got anything working, fix or suggestions on alternative ways to record?
You guys have to remember this project just went from alpha to beta, it isn't mature enough to do everything a regular Android device does, let's be patient and wait for features to come slowly. I also wanted to record the screen and had no luck but I'm hopeful this will be implemented in the future.
Well, it has been a jolly good time with remix. The jide team really has been working hard to push updates.
However, it pains me to say that a simple screen recording feature with inbuilt sound recording has still not here. Lollipop supports screen recording, why has that feature not here? I mean, I know I am being an unhelpful basterd, but seriously, how hard is it to just give that ability to the users?
Please, give us a barebones way of screen recording with sound. Really, its been a long time, and honestly, is it still on your to do list?
I've tried an alternative approach, to record streams. I have SlimTV working on my mobile, but it its not working on remix 102, the app runs and displays the stream fine, hitting 'record' button tries to record but fails immediately, have not tried on rooted 102.
On my mobile I extract stream from Kodi log, or use SlimTV as external player.
Would be interested if anyone has any similar ideas for recording TV etc.
In the latest updated if you open the included terminal app and cd /system/bin then type screenrecord "then_a_filename" it will record the screen.

have you tried Google Play Games/Youtube Gaming's Recording Feature?
The OS itself is still very unstable. So some of the functions work poorly, or not do it. It all depends on your hardware

Okay. What about length? I heard that the limit for screen record is 3 mins, which is BS by any standards. What about the google play record feature?
Also, on a side note, did you try the SCR Screen Recorder app? Did it work?
PS: I hope I am not annoying you. If I am, please post the results and then get annoyed. We can grab a beer later if the screen recording works.

As long as you have an intel cpu/gpu (gpu, haha!), you wont have any problems.
The biggest sh!t thingy is that why is a lollipop stable feature not present. I mean, lollipop has native screen recording feature, why is it not in the ROM.
I do understand that the way in which remix works on PC is different by the way in which it works on ARM phones. But seriously, dont you think that for error logging, screen recording in conjugation with screen shots are much bettter? That is the feature they should have worked before anything else.
