[Q] Its about miracast on n7100 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that note 2 supports miracast on stock touchwhiz 4.1.2 rom(AllShareCast). But does it work on any android 4.3 roms like cm10.2 or paranoid android yet. If so how, I haven't found any options yet. cm 10 has wifi-direct but how to use it there is no option in stock video player or audio player to do it. But youtube app has a option and it detects my tv but it fails to wifi-direct any way. I have a miracast/Widi and wifi direct enabled Lg Smart Tv.
Any help is appreciated.

[Q] Multiview and allshare cast?

Hi everyone!I've been an iphone user and finally made the big switch with the Galaxy Note 2 because of the multi view feature and the screen recording mode feature (which apparently never ended up working).
I have a stock (4.1.2) Unlocked international version n7100 Galaxy Note 2 that I've been using with an allshare cast hub. The video is a little glitchy but for the most part works great. I came to this thread by doing a google search on multiview with allshare cast.*I really want to be able to use multi view while I'm connected to allshare cast hub and streaming videos. This feature doesn't seem to work on my phone. Do I have to have my phone rooted to do this?
I've never done a custom rom or rooted my phone before and I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. Do you just hold the back button during a video to bring up multiview like you would when not connected to allshare cast?
Also, has anyone figured out how to watch netflix while using multiview yet without having it pause video when switching screens? I'd like to get all of my apps working in multiview and from what I've read so far the only way to do that is by rooting phone, correct?

Android kitkat and Miracast bug/issue

I have been avoiding android kitkat mainly because Miracast doesn’t work well (if at all) on kitkat like it used to be on jellybean roms.
I don’t know if it is a bug or maybe I'm just doing something wrong here.
I'm currently using Netgear Push2TV Adapter ptv3000. The connection between them simply fails on kitkat. It doesn't even connect.
Basically, I'm using miracast to mirror Netflix from N7 to my HDTV.
I recently heard something about kitkat Adreno drivers causing some video playback issues.
Plz advice. Thanks in advance.

Note 8 to LG Smart TV, what are my options?

I'm currently running rooted stock Jelly Bean 4.1(with plans to flash official Kitkat) and I'm looking into getting a smart TV most likely an LG. The model I'm considering has the following inbuilt 'smart' share options:
Google DIAL
MIRACAST Screen Share
MHL Screen Share
WiDi
The TV has these connectivity options:
WiFi Ready(wifi not built in, needs adapter)
WiFi Direct
Simplink
I know DIAL is a new thing without much traction right now, WiDi is exclusive to Intel devices. I'm particularly keen on wireless screen mirroring to the TV, so my questions are:
-Can I connect seamlessly via Miracast with my Note 8?
-Which currently available android version on our device works best for screen mirroring(4.1, 4.2 or 4.4)?
-Is Allshare any specific app necessary to mirror my screen or is it natively supported by the ROM?
-Will it be beneficial to buy a chromecast? Will it work with the Note 8?
I've scoured through the Note 8 forums and screen mirroring isn't mentioned a whioe lot and often just in passing. There are many posts concerning allshare not working with rooted stock ROMs, but many of these are old posts from last year. There's hardly mention of screen mirroring on Kitkat. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Not sure about LG being 100% compatible... I have a 2009 Samsung with DNLA and AnyLink+
The AnyLink+ connects any Samsung device with automatic turn on and input change. Plus it will turn off the TV if the device should turn off.
From what I see the LG should do what you need as AnyNet+ is really not a requirement.

Thanks, so how is Miracast implemented currently in the stock ROM? I'm on JB 4.1, all I have is allshare. Is Miracast available as a separate feature in 4.2 upwards?

Miracast is the feature called Screen Mirroring on the quick action bar.
As for Samsung Link / All Share, there are some latency issues but with Chinese Miracast/DLNA dongles some provide very fast response to limit latency.
All Share is the same thing as Link... both use Samsung's Miracast... depending on your Samsung updates, you should have an All Share firmware update installed to the tablet. Once you connect with the All Share device the firmware is automatically updated.

I think I have to come clean on something, I'm still on JB 4.1.2, and all I HAD was allshare, I deleted/debloated it after rooting. So I don't have the app anymore but I want to know if the more recent stock ROMs have a Miracast function separate from Allshare that can connect the tablet to a miracast enabled TV.

TW rom with miracast support

I am still on the original 4.0.4 firmware as never felt the need to upgrade. Now there is a compelling reason. My media player WD-TV-Live-Streaming now supports miracast for screen mirroring on TV. Is there oficial touchwiz roms on which miracast works?

BUMP!
might be better to ask somewhere devoted to miracast.
