Given the moto G's lack of DLNA & Miracast/MHL I was wondering what ways are possible to stream pictures, music, video from my phone over to a TV
Currently this is how I do it, with mixed results,hopefully there is a better all in one solution.
Hardware:
HTC Medialink HD - connects to the TV HDMI
Moto G
USB OTG Cable
Flash Drive
Software:
ES File Explorer (to connect to the USB OTG (navigate to Storage/usbdisk_1.1.1)
Gallery Connect: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.galleryconnect.ads
This actually is the only app that reliably and consistently actually manages to display my pictures onto the TV. Sadly it only does pictures.
Nexus Media Importer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer
Same people as Gallery Connect, this works really well for USB OTG as it auto detects when you insert your usb drive, sadly I'm not sure if it's an Android limitation or a HTC Media Link problem, but if you get a file it can't display it will just show a 'receiving content' icon on the TV for ever, and you have to reboot the HTC Media link
Wi-Fi Media
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bianor.amscavium
This lets you (in theory) display your photos, videos, music etc, but you can't navigate out of the default Android folders for anything which is a drawback. What it does though, that is helpful is adds a play with Wi-Fi Media icon, so if you navigate to your files using ESFile Explorer you can sometimes stream movies over though it really depends on the codec, i'm not sure if thats Android or the wi-fi Media apps problem. It'd be really nice if you could just use the mx players ability because that plays just about anything.
I don't actually know what protocol the HTC Media Link HD uses, and I only tried it out of curiosity as it came with the wife's HTC One & isn't really meant to be used by non HTC Devices.
I've spent a few days downloading and trying pretty much every DLNA/UPNP app out there to see what would work, and there's only really those 3 that I've found, and something else called flipps HD, that plays from various video sites.
Maybe someone here would know the protocol and if there's anything else that might work better. I know given the hardware limitations of the Moto G things like Screen mirroring etc are most unlikely but it's interestesting to see what can be done.
No one ?
miracast is just disabled for some reason, i have made a small change to the framework to enable it
will post the mod in the mod / theme section soon.
BubbleUPNP (best) or Skifta (free)
wonder why they disabled miracast, I suppose it'll need root to turn back on. It would be nice if there was some way to contact Motorola to tell them to turn it on for the next update.

you don't need root, just a custom recovery to flash it
One theory I heard was that they disabled it because the phone does not have dual-band wifi.
Clearly it doesn't matter, besides they must be using some form of miracast for the moto migrate feature

here it is if you want to test,
i don't have a mirror cast dongle yet so don't know if it actually connects and works
and don't really have the time to make a new thread right now as im working on a custom rom.
attached are two flashable.zip's one to revert (disable it again) and one to enable it, let me know if it connects and works
I'd love to, except no idea how to flash anything

first you need to have an unlocked bootloader, then flash clockworkmod recovery from here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563599
let me know once you have that and i can explain how to flash zips from recovery.

This is great, I've got a Miracast receiver and I'm using it regularly. Tried flashing the zip but it results in an error during flashing since something has to be flashed to the data partition and none of the available custom recoveries for the Moto G can access encrypted data partitions. Bummer.
EDIT: It seems like the option is there now anyway I attached a screenshot. Will have to wait a couple of hours until I'm home to test if it works. I'll update this post!
I'm reluctant to possibly brick my 2 week old phone at this point, I'd much rather contact Motorola and try and get them to re-enable for their kit kat update to be honest, clearly the phone has the capability.
I have contacted Motorola directly, worst case they say no, we're no worse off, however you never know, they might just enable it.

I have not checked it out intensively but this works with my Samsung F7000. Connecting is no issue, which is pretty strange since setting up just a wifi direct connection seems impossible.
The only issue I noticed is that changing orientation does not always work.

its impossible for this to brick your phone,
and if they enable it they will just do it the exact same way i did, by changing a bool to true rather than false
all the zip does is replace framework-res.apk, with the small code change.
but if you don't know much about android / flashing its probably best you don't as not knowing what your doing
could lead to self caused problems (but not a brick)
Edit:
its probably disabled to make the phone look more lower end, as by default in the 4.2+ source code its turned on
so its clearly been disabled intentionally and not a mistake

Hitillaz, thanks for this!!!
I don't have the custom recovery set up yet, so, is it possible to use ES Explorer, or Root Explorer to just backup and replace the existing /system/framework/framework-res.apk with the one contained in your zip file??
What permissions will I need to give the replacement
looks like this should be [rw-r--r--] owner: root group: root
Would that work??
I am just waiting to decide which Recovery to use.
Thanks.
I take it ChromeCast doesnt work unless you do these steps in this thread?
Hello.
Im from chile and im using moto g with movistar_chile version.
Does anyone managed to run the "enable_miracast.zip"? because it leaves me in a bootloop with my moto g.
After looking how to do it with my firmware (i think all the framework-res.apk aren't the same between the moto g models around the world), i managed to extract my framework-res.apk and followed the guide below:
https: / / github.com/kensuke/How-to-Miracast-on-AOSP/wiki/config_enableWifiDisplay (i cant post links)
here is the path of the file to modify in the moto g: "\ res framework-res \ \ values \ bools.xml"
however I am not sure if through the "apktool" tool i did it right.
First I made the Apk file with "apktool b framework-res.apk" of the folder, then I did a flash.zip of the apk, but when I flash it, it happens the same with the attachment of this topic (use the same enable_miracast.zip provided by tillaz but replacing the framework-res.pk that i built)
I'm not sure if you understand what im trying to explain.
sorry for my poor english
if Moto G executable root & remount, miracast enables editing build.prop text file.
but Moto G implementation, build.prop debugging disabled maybe.
$ adb root
$ adb remount
$ adb pull /system/build.prop
(add persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 to build.prop)
$ adb push build.prop /system/
$ adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop

Can confirm this works. You can edit the build.prop any way you like, e.g. directly using Root Explorer or similar app. Search for the above mentioned line
persist.debug.wfd.enable=0 ... by default it is 0, change it for 1 and that´s it.

This looks like a great idea, but I'm wondering how they hold up. (I always worry about losing the caps to my keychain thumbdrives. :silly:
It Works, But
I got one. A nice little piece of kit. But so far it isn't a seemless experience.
The default Apps don't seem to recognize it. Neither Gallery nor QuickPic will find any of the photos on it until I navigate to it using ES File Explorer. Gallery will only show the photo I open from File Explorer. QuickPic will allow me to browse the directory of a photo I select, but not move up the directory tree.
As for music files, Play Music will do so for the file selected from ES File, but won't allow me to search the memory card.

Do u have root on ur Moto X? If so, can you pls give chainfire's stickmount from the play store a shot?
I think it may solve your problem by auto mounting the OTG device on boot.
If it works, I'm definitely getting one for my X too!

Not Rooted Yet
While I got the Developer Edition, I haven't rooted it yet as I'm still deciding whether or not to put either my company e-mail (with their MaaS360 Mobile Device Management) or my client's e-mail (and its Citrix Recevier security - speaking of, what poor reviews!). Either Maas360 will detect Root, or it is just company "policy" to not allow rooted devices, and I'm still trying to find out which is is before I move on things.
I'd thought changing the USB Computer Connection setting in teh Storage settings from Media Device (MTP) to Camera (PTP) might help, but no joy. In fact, I was a bit surprised that there wasn't anything about the attached device there.
And while I'd also like to get Titanium Backup in place, there aren't any ROMs with real appealing capabilities that are pushing me to unlock and root. Now, when there's a Menu patch like Jason Robitaille's Advanced Launcer Options in WebOS, I'll be rooted & ROMing in a heartbeat.

Totally understandable .. I think in theory it should work, but just wasn't sure about motox compatibility with the stickmount and otg setup... Apparently Motorola phones dont seem to work with Carbon/Helium backup so I was wondering if something in the system might interrupt the setup.
hells yeah... Another webOS fan!! So rare to find one these days.. I'm only on Android becuz things went south ... At least matias is design the UI for android now.. And with HP's alleged intention to sell webOS patents, we just might find that Android becomes more webOS-y in the future!
The patch system was awesome! I think Rod Whitby setup Nexus Internals a while back when HP started giving up on webOS... Not sure if they are working on any solutions similar to preware? Closed framework is very similar in concept tho... Have u installed it?

Response from Meenov
I sent a note to the Meenov support site yesterday, giving them a heads-up about the Moto X issue and this thread, and got this quick response:
"Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately that's because Moto X removed certain support for external USB storage, while Moto's other models (Droid series) have better support for external USB storage."
So hopefully the smarter among us will figure out what the problem is and it in a future ROM.

Stock ROM, FAT32, and sort of. It doesn't need to mount like a typical SD card. Plug it in and it will automatically show up in /storage. Unplug it when done, no need or way to unmount.

Ok, so I've had mine for about a week now and it works great with my 32GB UHS-1 class card.
To get your media to read in other apps, such as music in Google Play Music, download the app by Chainfire called Stickmount. Mount the Meenov. Second, if you wanna go the free route, download the app called Rescan Media Root and run it. (obviously, you need to have root access) Give it about 10-20 seconds (your Meenov will start to blink) and your music should start appearing in Google Play Music. Just remember to Unmount when you want to remove the Meenov reader. And to remove all your music stored on the card that still appears in Google Play Music, run Rescan Media Root again.
Or, you can just drop $2.49 on the pro version of Stickmount and it will automatically trigger a rescan on mount and unmount.
So I have spent a long time chasing down what have turned out to be dead ends to try and achieve my goal and I am sure the masters of all things android can point me in the right direction!
Here is my setup; N7 2013 rooted lollipop 5.02 stock kernel 500gb seagate wireless, slimport, pair of wireless ps3 controllers. I love the idea of having an easy to transport arcade but the only hitch I am running into is the storage on this thing. I have tried this app, that app (mountmanager, andsmb, cifsmanager, etc.... trying to mount a wifi drive for hours to no avail. From what I have come to understand is that somewhere along the lines they did away with that and my only option is to reflash the rom back to....? I would be so very appreciative for someone to help me out with a plan of attack. The best I could figure was 4.1.2 would work as what is described in this post is what I am after;
google for "nexus-7-tutorial-mount-network-share-as-a-drive" [I could not post web link]
is there anything I might be missing? again, thanks a million and I really did try and do all my research before asking a potentially easy question, I am kind of a dinosaur now... hell, I am still using a blackberry to make phone calls this last month has been a crash course in androidology!

I need for the applications to be able to see the files and folders on it. the apps in question being retroarch and mame4droid. Writing would be nice for save states. I thought it would be great if they had the ability to see the lan like es browser can...
Hmmmm that sounds pretty complicated. The only I think to do it is to manually move the save back and forth. I'm no expert and may be totally wrong but I believe most apps just request data to be saved and android does it so what you want to may be damn near impossible unless you can rewrite android save area to a new one, or reprogram the app to save in another place. Again this is just speculation and i t might be super easy, maybe someone with a little more expertise can correct me.
at this point, I know it was working as of 4.12 and the updates past that changed things and made this hard if not impossible. Search for the link to maybe understand more. I will let this question air out for a week as I dont want to hassle with reverting back to that rom, but if I have to, I absolutely will! my N7 would love to have 500gigs!

Just a heads up- anything you've read about it working with 4.1.2 is for the 2012 Nexus 7 only. The 2013 N7 shipped with 4.3 so all ROMs for it are 4.3 or later so unfortunately 4.1.2 is not an option for you. And I personally have never come across a mod like what you're looking for, for the 2013 N7. It would be pretty damn cool if we could do that though, for sure.
From reading that tutorial, it looks pretty simple. Did you get sharing to work OK on a home network to a PC. Since I don't know much about that seagate wireless device, I'm guessing that part of the issues are how it is configured.
You don't mention what sort of a network configuration you are using. For example, since that tutorial taked about using the IP address, you would need to make sure the drive is configured - and I would assume with a static IP address. That makes it harder to use in a more "portable" situation, since the networking might be tricky. The rest of it - mounting an SMB share (similar to a windows machines shared drive) seems straight forward...
I may play with this (using a PC share) just to see...
Cheers

He's not planning on using it for simple file storage, he wants to actually mount it as another system drive and be able to run stuff off it just like it's part of the system. I do not believe it's currently possible.
Well, looking around more, you need to have the right kernel, and both of the main "custom" kernels for Lollipop (ElementalX and Glitch) do *NOT* have CIFS support. ElementalX had it for the KK releases, so all the tools that help you mount a shared drive will fail.
So, looks like it's 4.4.x for you!...and you will need a custom kernel as well. Even then, are you sure you can use the mounted directory for what you want? May not be where those games, etc. expect to see files...
Anyway, good luck

There are two issues here...1) can you even mount it at all - if it is "MOUNTED", then it's visible, and I understand that he doesn't want an intermediate program (like a file browser) in the middle. BUT...2) can his applications use it - i.e. can it be mounted as an overlay or as if it was an SD Card, etc.
If you can't even do #1, #2 is moot

So I am trying to figure out if you are saying its not doable or...? When I mount a SDcard with an otg cable [using stickmount] it mounts just fine to a place where the apps (emulators) can find and access it. If I went to KK 4.4 and threw on elementalx... you are saying I may have another problem here?
BTW, thanks you guys for looking into this again! I feel like I am just one step away from a truly amazing setup!

No, what *I* was saying that that you need to make sure a "mounted" drive can be used. If it can't, it doesn't matter if you get it to work.
So, YES, if you go back to KK, and to something like ElementalX, then MAYBE you can get it to mount. Or as stated, Try CYANOGEN...they have the CIFS modules in the kernel, so you don't have to try to find the right one and "insmod" them (i.e. dynamically load them).
Any chance of this happening? I pulled the .apk and odex files from the app today, and I'm quite sure that just sideloading the .apk isn't going to work.
Just wondering if anyone is planning on trying a port of the wireless storage over to the G4. I would LOVE to have it available as others would I'm sure.
I am not sure anyone ever got this ported. I wish they would. On my rooted G2 running Cloudy G3, we were not able to just copy and paste it. Framework is needed for the status bar shortcuts and even without it wouldnt launch.
There are Samba SMB server apps in the Play Store that work the same. FYI

I can only confirm that the wireless storage function is coded into systemui (stock value is false) and also the corresponding qs icons are threre.

At the moment I will be able to root I will try to activate it and check whether other smali files are missing or not.
Give this a try,
It is an awesome file explorer that in lanscape mode you could drag and drop files from one folder to another, even root folders (if you are rooted)
but most importantly it has a wifi file sharing just like the G2, you can browse your files straight from the file explorer on your PC

Give it a shot.
It's called "AirDrive" on your phone now, in case you guys are still looking for this feature. This is under the LG Bridge app as well.
I don't have an LG bridge app on my phone. VS986 with Verizon.

Anyone?
Nope but the compute one mod will be interesting
Motorola disabled Miracast so you'll buy the projector mod. You can enable it if you have root and a build.prop editor.
remove the # from "#persist.debug.wfd.enable=1", save the file. You might have to reboot your phone for it to work (I'm not sure on this, I've never rooted before)
You guys tried screen cast thought google home app?

I'm one of those people who hate the newer web wrapper based YouTube app and have been using the last native app they released. Nvidia was nice enough to bundle the native app in /system in their Nougat updates so that people like me could easily stay on that version. This has apparently changed in the Oreo update though.
Has anyone tried downgrading the app using either of the methods commands below?
Code:
adb install -r -d youtube.apk
Or
Code:
adb push youtube.apk /sdcard/
adb shell pm install -r -d /sdcard/youtube.apk
Download the APK here:

I would try it myself but I don't want to be stuck with the new crappy app if the above fails.
It seems it doesn't work for system apps, at least on Oreo.
Any other ideas?
Moved /system/app/YouTubeLeanback to /sdcard/, rebooted, and was able to install it. Thanks.

I presume your Shield is rooted? Otherwise I don't see how that would work.
If it isn't, I'd be very interested in some more details though.

Youtube Premium...$11.99/month. I pay for family ($14.99/month for 6 google accounts).
Worth the price, at least for me and my family. Shared with my in-laws, brother and his wife (that $2.5/month/person). No ad at any time, Youtube Music (or Play Music) included.
Considering the amount of time we spend on YouTube I never looked back, especially since my kids are little and I do not want them exposed to stupid ads every 5 minutes.
Not the answer you were looking for!
Thank you, it's not bad idea.
Did you hear about YouTube Vance ?
It's possible to install this application on Shield ?

Work great here on the Shield.

I'm not sure which OS is on our Shield (kids Xmas present tomorrow). I did have it hooked up briefly to set it up so it's ready out of the box. I didn't like the YouTube version installed because it defaulted to the system Google account. Can't be changed and no multiple accounts. So I installed smarttubeTV. Kids are used to it as that's what we use on fire TV. It allows multiple accounts so the kids can have their own with easy switching.
