Works on Many Samsung TouchWiz based ROMs. Confirmed Working on Galaxy S2, S3, Tab 10.1
For some reason, beyond my comprehension, Samsung have this great app, but have yet to open it up to the SGS3. I have been resorting to downloading it and installing it on my HTC HD2 (Running CM9) backing it up with Titanium, and then copying the backup over to my SGS3, and restoring the backup. A bit round about, but works.
The App, for those that don't know, allows you, with a Samsung high-end TV or BR-Player, use the app to not only as a remote, but as a second mirrored screen, with audio. Great for trips to the kitchen, bathroom, outside, or in another room (although range is limited by your router).
[Supported TV Models]
- Samsung Smart TV released in 2011:
Models greater or equal to LED 7000, PDP 8000
- Samsung Smart TV released in 2012:
Models greater or equal to LED ES7500,(Models greater or equal to LED ES7000 in Europe, Models greater or equal to PDP E8000 Models(E7000 Models in North America)
[Supported Phone]
While technically only SGS2, it works with SGS3 stock rooted rom, but should work on most with a stock base. It will not work on CM9/10 and ASOP ROM's but you could give it a try and let me know.
Here is the actual app, I extracted it from my Titanium backup figuring someone could use it until Samsung get around to updating the Market to let you just download it. The only thing I can't get to work is Bluetooth power on. I can pair with my TV, but it just doesn't show up until I have turned it on. I also had an issue with it working over the the 5Ghz 802.11n band, but with 3.1.9 that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.
Version 3.1.9 - 39MB - Confirmed Working for me with 2011 PDP51D8000 Model
Version 3.2.0 - 40MB - Also Confirmed working
Older Version 3.1.7 for those of you with issues

Glad it helped, It just doesn't make sense to not allow the direct download. It clearly works on the SGS3, so it makes no sense. They have also updated the app several times since the SGS3 release 3.17 was the version I first installed. So they are working on the app, just wish they would switch it on for us to access right from market.
P.S. If this app helped you, please hit thanks

You may have to look around your TV menus for the option to turn on networked remotes. I had an issue where I somehow disabled my phone and could not get it to connect. Also are you using a 2.4ghz or 5ghz router, if using one, try the other. Finally check your router settings, to see if there is something there preventing connectivity.

Unfortunately, all this has already been verified. Consider that already use a Samsung Galaxy SII and it works great, therefore the router is fine. Among the other with the 'SIII the program works, but also sees the TV when the connection is disconnected after a few seconds by sending an error message that says: "the first use to connect to the internet" .... ideas?

I am not exactly sure what you are seeing. Are you using a stock rom? If you see the TV in the list, but Dual View is not working, then it isn't seeing your phone as supported for Dual View. This could be a build.prop issue, or a necessary file is missing. If it isn't seeing your TV, then there is a connection issue. This is what I had with 802.11n 5Ghz. When on 5Ghz, I couldn't see my TV, back to 2.4Ghz and all was fine. I thought this issue resolved on 3.19.
You may try resetting your router, trying it insecure to see if you can get it to work, but I guess it can be a bit flakey for some. There is nothing inherent in the application, that I know of, that should prevent it from working on the SGS3, unless the ROM you are using is modified. In that case, make a Nandroid backup, install a stock (Rooted if you like) ROm and test again, if it works, it is your ROM, if it doesn't, it is your network.

As I wrote in my previous post using a stock ROM no brand ITA and my Galaxy SIII is not rooted. As for the router I do not think the problem here as with my Galaxy SII ICS 4.0.3 works perfectly! The Galaxy SIII see TV but while trying to connect it disconnects giving me this error: "connect for the first time you need to connect to the internet". Help me please!

From the router side I would agree, if you see the tv in the app, router is fine. The only thing I can think of is if this is an ITALIAN version issue. I know that when upgrading to ICS some stock ROMs for the SGS2 stopped working. I think this may be the case and something in the localization is causing the connection issue.
In your case maybe try to port the app over from your sgs2 as it could also contain something specific. You can use my method from the first post. Otherwise I am afraid you may need another rom but that's also going to depend on what ROMs it runs on. I only know it works on US T-Mobile but with close to 300 downloads yours is the first time I have seen it not work so there is hopefully a stock based ROM for you with enough not removed to let this app work.
Sorry it isn't better news. As a last resort, you could try to factory reset, install only this app. That way you can ensure no other app is interfering.
Good luck, let me know how it works out.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII unrooted running ICS
---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------
Might I add this app was working previously with the un55c7000 and HTC evo 3d, and evo 4g. Previously working on SGSII before ICS update now flashes black in the same fashion as the SIII. All previous models were able to download from play store however none supported the dual view.

Hi. I put my phone back to stock since the custom rom I was using (supposedly stock deodexed) was not working with allshare cast dongle.
I want to change roms again that has mobile hotspot (for those with unlimited plan) and still get it working with the allshare cast. NFS is awesome when played on your tv.

Most of them won't as they trip the flash counter, but you can always use Triangle Away to reset that. From personal experience, I've gotten mine to work on stock and DADr8's hybrid rom after flashing Triangle Away. Sadly I am seeing mixed results from other ppl not having the same luck as me so I would experiment and see what you can find. I've provided links to both the rom and program I use. Best of luck.

has anyone found a fix or a list of tested custom roms that the allshare cast work on? Thanks.
Been trying to figure it out in jedi 12. Can't figure it out yet though.
I was under the impression that it was the custom recovery that caused problems. Completely stock works perfectly but once I injected root I have to flash triangle away. I know when I used Frosty JB it would work but I had to flash triangle away before I used it each and every time.
The biggest problem finding out where the trouble lies is in just trying to get that first connection to begin with. I'm sure a lot of people are having trouble just establishing a connection in the first place!
Any of the N7105 or custom roms with Tmobile modem and kernel plus stock recovery and the flash counter has to be zero.
1. flash the newest N7105 rom from development section via CWM or TWRP.
2. using MOBILE ODIN PRO App flash Tmobile Kernel, Recovery and Modem then phone is gonna reboot, Put your phone into download mode and see you flash counter, if it is Zero you are good to go if your flash counter 1 or 2 or 3 then boot back to your phone use Triangle away app to clear your phone counter back to zero and then the Allshare Cast will work for you.
if you want to try a different rom then you are gonna have to flash custom recovery again using mobile odin....
Yeah I really hope the custom ROM's manage to figure this out soon. I hate being on stock just to use my Allshare cast dongle with my T.V. and car stereo.
allshare dongle working with rooted s4
Mine works fine rooted. I had to use the pin connection method which was not listed anywhere in the booklet I got. When your phone sees the dongle long press on it, hit pin connection, an 8 digit pin will come up on your tv when it is set to the correct input for the dongle. You have 10 seconds to enter pin on phone and that is what finally connected my rooted s4 to dongle. Running Clean Rom 1.6.5. Now my question,
does anyone know of a rom that includes allshare cast for the galaxy tab 2? I want to use it with my dongle as well but it has no allshate cast or screen mirroring in it right now. Hoping it is possible. Thanks,

Hey I was wondering if you could screen mirror or wifi direct to your smart tv. I know after you root your phone the option no longer works, but does aosp or aokp or any google based roms allow you to do this? If I wanted these options back can I just use stock kernel to get this to work?

Just throwing this out there....the Samsung MHL adapter works great for me on my rooted S4. It's not wireless, but still.
I wouldn't think that rooting alone would stop those services from working though. ?

With the adapter you still get the message screen mirroring not allowed. At least with xfinity player. Hbo works fine with it.

Does anyone know if a gs4 is rooted does screen mirroring stop working.. It connects then it turns off immediately.. I am using Darthstalker X for Tmobile.. Any fixes or maybe use another Rom.. No one seems to talk about it on these forms.. Searched like crazy...Using 4.3 mk2..Thanks any help would be appreciated...
I've tried to get people to talk about it but nobody seems to care. My s3 use to work when rooted and while tethering but not the s4. It sucks big time! The s4 will work when you are connected to WiFi but not if you use your mobile data. Allshare seems to automatically turn WiFi on when you tether so it turns off when you try to mirror your screen.

Tried connecting to smart Samsung tv.. It says connected then screen mirroring turns itself off and you lose the connection.. Im surprised no one cares about this since its a really awesome feature.. If you lose it on a rooted device its a major handicap.. Hopefully someone out there can explain this to us...

Have you tried using a stock rooted rom? The problem may be that the dev "debloated" this feature as most do not use it. I would make a nandroid and flash a stock rooted full bloat rom or just odin back to stock and root it, do not flash a rom. Then test this feature out. From there you can decide to figure out what files are missing or ask the dev to either include it in his next release or make a flashable zip that will add the necessary files back in.
Thanks sounds like a good Idea.. Will ask the the Dev on darthstalker x1, but I don't think I have enough posts yet..lol.. Thanks
I see various devices on various carriers have had problems with the wifi hotspot on FoxFi after the 4.3 OTA update, and while some people have been able to get around the problem, I don't see that anyone has with the AT&T Note 2.
I've tried the trick of pressing the home button when the dialog box pops up saying "Mobile hotspot is unavailable ... To enable mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611" and then opening FoxFi again. FoxFi shows the hotspot is active, but no device can see it.
I actually had PDANet installed (fully paid), and it showed that the FoxFi component was version 2.10. I uninstalled PDANet and reinstalled version 2.13.1 of FoxFi (not sure what the difference is between the PDANet and FoxFi versions of the app). Same problem.
The only other possible solution I've run across involved the Note 3 on Verizon -- accepting a new VPN certificate or forcing FoxFi to offer a new one up by getting rid of the existing one. But FoxFi has never offered me a certificate, and I don't see any old one (or any for that matter) in Settings > Security > Trusted Credentials > User.
Has anyone whose Note 2 is not rooted been able to get FoxFi functioning after updating to 4.3?
Alrighty! The thus far deafening silence leads inexorably to this query then: does anyone have FoxFi running on a rooted AT&T Note 2 and is also paired with a Galaxy Gear?
I opted for stock OTA 4.3 with my Note 2 primarily because of the Gear, but the FoxFi problem on 4.3 has proven to be a double-whammy -- not only have I lost the hotspot after taking 4.3 OTA, but I also can no longer Bluetooth tether -- which means I can't get a direct Internet connection to the Gear (and do all those things that the limited, stock Gear connection to one's phone cannot do).
Somebody... anybody? I'm at an airport right now using the abominable Boingo $5 for 24 hours of 2.8 Mbps d/l speed service on my tab. The hotel I stayed at had its wifi go down for 2 hours yesterday afternoon. I would root and find a way, but I don't want to have to mess (read: spend time) with the can of worms that would open with pairing my Galaxy Gear....

Most custom ROMs have it built it.
I don't know about cocheci, but as I indicated above, I'd need a custom ROM that also works with the Gear without problem. From what I've gleaned from its thread, the Sky Note Air 4.3 ROM may well fit that bill. I just have to find an empty space in my schedule for the potential time sink. (Got a wife and young kids and a more than full time job, so long gone are the days when I could spend all night dikking around with tech toys.)

Sky note is an awesome ROM. Latest version is G2 I believe. It also comes with out the NOTE 3 stuff in the vanilla flavor. Very lickable. I mean likable.
Not much dikking required.
