cast screen and screen mirroring on a samsung tv

Hi guys
I know there are threat about this matter but none of them have any solution . As you know Samsung phones have smart view which can screen mirror and control your smart TV.
Nexus 5x doesn't recognize Mira cast devices and with changing build.prop althogh it can recognize the TV but unable to connect to it. Do you guys have any idea to solve this problem?
I'm sure there is a software way. Because there shouldn't be a hardware problem with Nexus 5x .
Did any one connect a Nexus 5x to Samsung TV?
I think it depends on the year of the Samsung TV. My 4K is a 2014 model and doesn't do screen cast or mirroring yet my in-laws is 2016 and I believe does work.

Mine is a 2016 model and can't connect to it. There should be a way for this problem . Is there any way to port samsung smart view app on Nexus 5x?
Any idea?
Miracast was removed with (I think) 6.0. It's a proprietary API.
There's a few people on the 6p forums trying to get it to work, with little success.
You can change the following in the build.prop to get the Samsung device to show up on the list, the phone connects, but it doesn't cast.
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
You also need to set Allow WiFi in the cast options.
BTW, the Smart View app is just a remote control app. It should work just fine, as long as your phone and TV are connected to the same network.
Edit: really should have read the op before replying, I basically said the same thing as you!

Hmm. Will have to give it a try next time I'm over there. Although, I could've possibly connected via Chromecast and got mixed up.

Tanx for your replay any way. I think there is a way to bypass this limitation but we don't know it yet...

Yes it works in chrome cast but chrome cast need a router and that slow down the streaming . The benefit from the screen mirroring is that your phone connect directly to your smart tv so you have a smooth and fast experience on it .a 3rd party device like chrome cast is not a good alternative for screen mirroring.

I wasn't saying Chromecast is a great alternative. I was just saying I might've not been directly connected to the TV like I originally thought. While we're on it though, Chromecast does get the job done for the most part though if your router is close and fast.

Don't it has to be set on enabled? In previous versions it had to be set from 0 to 1...

Is it true we can get mhl to work ?

So all I wanna do is be able to use a mhl HDMI-type c adapter to mirror my z2 too much pioneer radio [emoji16] seems that all the talk is out of the box this phone will only cast/mirror with chrome cast . Then I heard can edit a line in build prop to get it to work .
What's my work around to get what I need working.
Using a HDMI -rca av converter cable and need a mhl adapter to mirror to my head unit .
But like mentioned in hopes there is a fix with the build prop that will enable mhl.
Anyone chime in or confirm?
And if so what do I need to edit .
Or do I need to ditch this phone that I love so much over a galaxy .
Unfortunately I prefer to use mirroring a little more for leisure needs watching show box...Netflix etc... In car on the touch screen over not having a device that can cast .

Does the HDMI hack work? I need to use a USB-C to an HDMI box to output phone power and video for Epson Moverio glasses....... Dead in the water and not sure how to root and if rooting will let me pull this off.

Could it be posible to get "MirrorLink" working with this solution but adding a for this option?
Enabling MiraCast via build.prop on rooted phones is a regular thing, but enabling HDMI, that would be intresting.
If you're desperate for the HDMI, you can buy the MDK (Moto Mod development kit) around 130 Euro/USD and it has SlimPort on it (I'm using it occassionally as improvised DEX )

I have come up with nothing from Moto on whether the hardware can support USB C to HDMI or not, but I sure could use the wired functionality for use with AR glasses / no lag. Has anyone successfully enabled MHL on a Z or Z2 (or Z3)?

Is your usb3 port working on your moto mod mdk? I cannot get it to work with mine and I'm searching for about 2 months now for a solution...

1. Have you flashed the MDK Display sample firmware?
2. Is your DIP-switch config as in the reference ?
3. Are you using a SlimPort microUSB to HDMI?

Sry, I seem to have expressed my concern incorrectly. I get the usb port #3 to work with ease. Display output is working fine. My problem is with the usb port #2, which i want to use in usb3(.1?) mode, which is not working for me with the github repos right now.

Best wayy to use N7 as Miracast receiver?

Hi guys,
Been looking all over the forum without luck, and wonder if there is a efficient way to have the N7 as Miracast receiver?
At the moment running LOS15.1 + EX kernel, I don't mind flashing a different Rom and kernel btw.
Noone? Or any good alternative will be fine also (no data connection require)
