[APP] Chromecast & MirrorEnabler - HTC Droid DNA

Over at the Chromecast forum they're building a compatibility list for mirroring with Chromecast. DNA isn't officially supported (yet), but I aim to build a list of ROMS that mirror successfully with the MirrorEnabler app.
TESTED WORKING:
Google Play Edition
Nusense Six
Cyanogen (all music players force close
LiquidSmooth (audio only)
NOT WORKING:
AOKP
Carbon
Paranoid
Dirty Unicorns
Viper
Anyone willing to report on tested and working ROM's please chime in....

r3pwn and I got things rolling on cm-11 so that is confirmed. In the case of DNA ROMs any aosp and cm based should work without issue with v3. It seems the only folks having problems right now is because their ROMs did not compile in r_submix support.

I noticed the headway made over there with v3 and v4. v4 seems to cast without gps fc but only a black screen. Going to try v3 if i can find it now that the app has been updated.

Here is how mine got working, mind you post these instructions I never had to flash past v2. If you already flashed v3 or greater then you probably don't need to do steps 1 and 2 because Mirror enabler handles that part.
Install and enable mirror enabler v2
execute the following commands in a root terminal
Code:
su
/data/data/com.r3pwn.mirrorenabler/lib/libhackyworkaround.so /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db
insert into overrides (name, value) values ('gms:cast:media:use_tdls', 'true');
.exit
exit
Code:
su
/data/data/com.r3pwn.mirrorenabler/lib/libhackyworkaround.so /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db
insert into overrides (name, value) values ('gms:cast:remote_display_enabled ', 'true');
.exit
exit
Update /etc/audio_policy.conf and in the global_configuration append to the end of the "attached_input_devices" line
Code:
|AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_REMOTE_SUBMIX
Now, this is something to ask r3pwn but I believe hes pushing a rather generic version of audio_policy.conf and not the device specific policy which means there could be an error related to the generic version. I am not sure if Mirror Enabler is backing up the original audio_policy.conf and putting it back in place after its "disabled" and then uninstalled. What I suggest if you are post v3 is to extract the specific audio_policy.conf from the original ROM and follow step 3 only then reboot. That may be worth attempting to see if it fix.

OK so extracted default audiopolicy, added the submix edit and pushed to system/etc. I am able to receive sound while casting but TV screen is black.

Two questions;
What rom are you using?
Did you place the file in /etc/ or /system/etc ? It goes in /etc/
Also make sure the file is owned by root and has 644 perms

I can confirm, NusenseSIX RC 6.4 works as well.

Liquid Smooth. The paths are the same. The permissions are set as they should be. My issue with liquid is no video so tinkering with the audio policy file doesn't seem like a remedy. Ive rebooted Chromecast and the phone to no avail. Can anyone else confirm only audio on LiquidSmooth?

Sorry, I cant directly confirm this for Liquid Smooth but like I said if it can be confirmed by the ROM developer that REMOTE SUBMIX support is compiled into the ROM then using mirror enabler _should_ work. I would suggest contacting the developer to see if this is the case. I can confirm that on my DNA using CM11 m8 snapshot all audio and video works flawless across all applications (including apollo, etc). I would suggest for anyone having issues running that ROM (or possibly others) to attempt the steps I noted earlier to see if using a more "pure" audio_policy.conf. Based on what we learned by testing with my device somehow the audio_policy.conf does in fact have something to do (were not entirely sure what) with ensuring that all the data gets across to the chromecast, he saw a few logcats of users who had audio and no video which were corrected after implementing the "force close fix" that pushes the updated audio_policy.conf. Now while a one size fits all audio_policy.conf is the best method and not causing other issues is hard to say.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, Good luck!
Edit: I did a few more tests when i got home to make sure I'm not completely full of it and it turns out yeah i am. Apollo is in fact not working for me and does cause a fc then causing mirroring FC's but it appears the force closes settled down after a reboot also plex decided to give me a fit while also while mirroring but otherwise i didn't get any other grief.
