Any Roms With Chromecast support? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

hey guys I have tried numerous 5.1 roms, Not a single one can i get the chromecast to actually show up on. I know the chrome cast end is working because i can use it on my note 3. But I am trying to setup this note to be a dedicated kodi machine, but i cant get the chromecast to even be listed.
Would there be a 4.4.4 rom that could use the Cast app? (my nexus 7 LTE can cast on 4.4.4) I have flashed 6 roms in the past day, and not a single one can list the chromecast. If i have to install odin and go with a 5.1 rom I can install odin.(partitions are too small as its a 4.4.4 formatted device.
This is for my sister's house and its the only spare phone i have. Casting kodi from her PC reliably is all but impossible. I would need to use screen cast.
(CM roms have issues with Screen Cast?) This is Really all the Device needs to do.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys, I feel as i have been beating my head against a wall. Thanks!

[Q] Screen Mirroring?

Anyone use it? Anyone know if its possible to use it with a costom rom? I'm running Hyperdrive and cant make it work with my Miracast equiped TV. Everytime I try to connect it acts like its working then I get a message on the phone saying "screen mirroring has been shut off". I'm wondering if I need to flash back to stock. Any help or advice is appreciated.
I use it perfectly fine on BoneStock ROM. I use Slingbox and have it hooked up to my moms Fios and i can screen mirror HD content from MY GS4 to my Samsung Smart TV.
Maybe you didnt install all parts of the AllShare stuff. All things Allshare, AllShare cast, Samsung Link, and Screen Mirroring need to be installed and not frozen. Also, whatever youre trying to screen mirror to needs to have the software as well so it can receive it. So a Samsung Smart TV or other Sammy devices and AllShare Cast only works on Android 4.2.2 or higher. I can't get it to even install on my Tab 2 10.1 running stock 4.1.1 nevermind getting to work.

[Q] [Question] Chromecast Mirroring

Hey Guys,
Im using a tab pro 12.2 and running stock rooted deodexed, and Im wondering if I buy the chromecast dongle - will I be able to mirror my device straight to the screen (I want to mirror custom videos not through youtube etc) with mxplayer pro. My TV doesnt have any sort of wifi, but it does have a hdmi slot - hence going with chromecast.

Yes there are ways to do this
The TV doesn't need WiFi, just your home and device (tablet, phone, PC)
I can only cast screen natively from my nexus devices or PC but there are apps that allow for this
Check the Chromecast threads for more info
Oh, and the best $35 I ever spent, over a year now and still use it daily
Ok thanks, didnt realise there was a specific chromecast forums

[Q] Screen Mirroring in GT-P7500

Good morning:
I'm writting you from because I've been trying to do screen mirroring with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7500). Since it was first running Android 4.0, I've 'rooted' it, put the CMW recovery and upgraded to Android 4.3 (currently running the CyanogenMod 10.2).
I've played different apps and also tried the 'Settings' menu but I was not capable to do mirroring with my Samsung TV. I look for it and find out that could be a problem with the Miracast technology, but on the web says that it is supported by all devices.
I do not know if any of you have solved this issue, if any please let me know.
Thanks a lot for your help and time.
Kind Regards.

Can No Longer Cast Screen On My 2015 Chromecast

I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere but I recently upgraded my my Chromecast generation 1 to Generation 2 and my ability to cast my cell phone screen to my chromecast from my galaxy s6 has stopped.. it just says connecting and times out.. All apps with native chromecast support work as they should.. Only when I use the cast screen feature from within the chromecast app does this problem occur... Does anyone possibly have any idea on what could be causing this to happen?
Thank you in advance!
I'll have to test this for myself but casting the screen to my Chromecast 2 from my N7 2013 just stopped working all of a sudden the other day. It'll connect and then freeze up within a couple of seconds.
Will try to cast a specific program like YouTube tomorrow and see what it behaves like.
Same problem for me, in the beginning it worked fine, but after the automatic update it started to do problems with the mirror cast and the Google photos.
In the others app it is working good
I so that this is a common problem with the chromecast 2, in alot of phone models

I have almost the same problem, just purchased my chromecast. Everything works except the ability to cast my screen from withing Tablet using CyanogenMod using the Cast Screen option.
When I try it it goes through the process show the device found shows connected then instantly show disconnected. Works on my One Plus One running CM based ROM just fine. So it could be ROM version....
Since its a tablet have to use android Chrome so can't use extensions on it because the extension for Chrome Cast work on my laptop to do a cast screen.
Same problem here using slimkat rom
Updated the tablet to CM12.1 not same ROM but same version as my phone ROM made no difference. Also tried 2.4 and 5 GHz still no go from tablet. Interestingly annoying....

i haves same problem in a lg g stylo i update android 6.0 now wrok fine
Just happened on an HTC M8 too. Everything was OK until now. I have it from December and was working on Android 5 and even on Android 6 until yesterday. Tried to reset it hard from button and soft, reconfigure it and happens the same issue: phone find it and when try to connect screen goes black on TV like trying to receive an image, then disconnects back to backdrop. On the phone sometimes the wifi disconnects from the router and reconnects back when Chromecast is trying to transmit the image on TV. I checked the compatibility phones on page and indeed M8 is not there, but it worked, so is not that.
There is any possibility to take an log on the Chromecast to see what is happening?
Sent from my HTC One_M8
Edit: Seems that the issue was the installation of the Viper4Android flashable zip. After replacing system image from twrp backup, everything is back to normal. It connects in no time.
What version of android do your phone use?
I use Galaxy Note 3 android 5.0 with Chromecast app to cast screen to TV attached with Chromecast 2015 device.
There is no default option for casting screen on android 5.0.
So I use Chromecast app to cast screen.
Everything is normal. I can cast phone screen to TV while I'm playing Asphalt 8.
I have switched phones to the Nexus 6P and for the first few months I was able to cast to screen again but now I lost that ability after experimenting with different roms.. yet I can still go to my friends house and cast my screen without any issues on his 1st gen chromecast.. what a strange issue
I switched back to the 1st chromecast, the new one would start overheating lol

How to cast video camera of Galaxy S2 to LCD monitor?

I have a Samsung S2 phone which is now permanently mounted on the microscope to take pictures of specimens. As the phone is quite old, I have used cynogenmod (11.0) with android 4.4.4 on it replacing the touchwiz software.
I have tried Google Chromecast first-generation - doesn't work. The phone seems to be trying to connect as the chromecast is going to switch on, but in the middle of connection, the casting stops. It works with other phones, just not the S2. I have bought and tried a micro USB to Hdmi port. Does not work. Any ideas how to cast it to a monitor? Maybe I need to install another rom?

Thanks for the article. Never knew those existed.
You can try to use MHL , but It doesn't work on AOSP and CyanogenMod. You need stock ROM or Stock based ROM to make it work
Thanks. I finally got it to work with the Techjunkie article. However, only one method worked which is the Airdroid. The rest:
1. Vysor
2. Mirror
3. Chromecast and Google Cast
does not work. I think it may be due to the old cynogen onboard.
