[Q] Roku streaming from Android Smartphone

Roku has recently updated and app for Android to include local streaming of video files. I, however cannot utilize it because my Galaxy Nexus is not supported. I do not know why it's not supported.
As of this date of writing, per the Google Play website the app supports:
Samsung Galaxy SIII
Samsung Galaxy S4
Nexus 4
HTC One, and
Nexus 7 (2012 model)
I would like to know if there is a way for a rooted Galaxy Nexus to benefit from the app update. I was thinking about build.prop, but I don't want to have to change it back when I'm done using the app.
Thoughts?

Friendly bump.

you would need someone to pull it down in apk form and give it to you, which it might not work.
OR
ask whoever wrote the app to update for the GN

But the likelihood that the app is written specifically for each device would be low, versus the app poling the device to see what it is, and then given the additional features, right?

Shows compatible for my toroplus (in google play). Still showing for you as incompatible? I wouldn't mind sending you the .apk if you want to try it? Are you using a custom dpi for your ROM? I noticed that if I picked anything but 240 or the standard 320 for my gnex, many apps in google play would show up as incompatible.

[Q] G Pad and Google Chromecast

Hi everyone.
First off I apologize if this question was already answered somewhere in the forum, but I did a search and was not able to find an answer to my question. Let me say that I am more than happy with this tablet (I had very bad experience with some old Asus tablets) and this is very good thus far. The only real concern that I have is when you use it in combination with the Google Chromecast. I used it with 2 applications so far, one is Plex and the other one is Deezer and I noticed a very similar behavior: in both cases the applications got closed. Even if they create a background service through the notification in the status bar. Could it be something related to the G Pad itself or could it be something related to the Wifi connection / Chromecast behavior?
Thanks everyone for the help

I just hopped on here to ask a question about Chromecast and my G Pad... Unrelated to your questions. However, I can say i've used Plex extensively and haven't had any issues. Sometimes youtube will do weird things tho.
My question relates to the recent update to chromecast that allows screen mirroring... i've updated my chromecast and my g pad to match the latest firmware and version.
still no setting my chromecast app that says "share screen"
it's there on my nexus 7 2014 tho.
what gives.

Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition PS4 Remote Play

I am a long time Apple user and have always jailbroken my phones and tablets. But I have made the switch to android and would like to use my Note 10.1 to remote play my PS4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/4-4-4-stock-xperia-devices-ps4-remote-t2868092
This thread makes it seem possible to do it but I am new to rooting and it seems like there are many difference processes depending on which device you have. So I am have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition wifi only 32gb and is running Android 4.4.2.
I tried rooting with odin following this video. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cMT61ZSASY ) but it didn't work because my OS is newer then 4.2. So what are the steps I need to take to get remote play to work on this device?

APPS Streaming videos Don't Work after update Marshmallow 6.0!!!

APPS Streaming video on Nexus 7 2013 -Clan & Disney Channeli- don't work after flash Stock Marshamallow 6.0 !!!
Don't steraming the videos ....maybe is a permissions issue or is needed upgrade code of application by developer to work with Marshmallow?

Already got a thread about Nexus 7 2013 marshmallow streaming issues:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...-qa/video-freezes-marshmallow-update-t3224681
I would suggest going to: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list and make a bug report. Seems to only effect nexus 7's though.

Thanks
Thank you, seems is a marshmallow issue with streaming...

Miracast kernel?

Hello, I was just curious if there is a kernel that supports/enables miracast?
Thank you in advance

Mircast is a Samsung exclusive. In Android (before Oreo) you use to be able to make a build prop edit to enable casting to Miracast devices, but no longer is that a option.

Are you wanting Miracast or DLNA to where you can cast your media onto your Samsung Smart TV (I think LG has DLNA as well).
Basically, the way i am able to project my streams from movie apps or the media on my phone to my 3-4 year old Samsung Smart tv with 3rd party apps...no rooting or flashing was necessary to get this working.
I downloaded one of many DLNA apps out there. The one Im using is called: XCast. i just turn on my tv, make sure the tv is connected thru wifi, and then when i choose the player for my media content, I go to "open with," then select XCast, which then recognizes my tv and then im able to shoot my stream onto my tv...basically, wireless hdmi.
If you have any questions, feel free to IM me. Good luck, hope my ramblings made sense

I'm actually just looking to screen mirror my phone to my pioneer radio that supports miracast. I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this. I don't want to be able to watch movies while driving, but instead, when I'm waiting for the wife at places and what not. Thank you

Hi guys,
I'm so excited to tell you that I just enabled Miracast for Pixel 1 running Android Pie.
you can go to the forum Google Pixel -> Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion for more details.
I only have a Pixel 1, but I will also build files for Pixel XL/2/2 XL/3/3XL. You can try it if you can replace your system files.
I'm not sure if it can work on other devices, but I really want to hear that it works too!
