I want to know which is better Anycast M2 or Chromecast 2 for casting my mobile to TV.Also I want to know is multitasking possible in Anycast M2 which means can I use my mobile to open any other applications or keep my mobile in locked condition while I am casting a video from my mobile.
if you want to cast your mobile to tv then you need a rom at least android 4.2 & if you cast your mobile then screen and sound will be reflected to tv everything you do e.g. multitasking will be visible to tv.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2676137 report of MHL connection.
I've read Miracast works if your components are compatible (wifi).
"Thanks to AllShare you can also mirror your mobile device screen to the bigger HDTV via Wi-Fi Direct and the widely supported Miracast protocol - that would even allow you to play mobile games on the biggest screen in your living room. You don't need to have a Samsung TV for that to work, but it needs to have Wi-Fi connectivity and support Miracast." http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_pro_8_4-review-1042p10.php

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.

guys just wondering, what's the best Dongle for screen mirroring for LG G3?
I had the Samsung All Share Cast before on my note 3, but it wont work with LG G3.
Basically I just wanna be able to play videos from my LG G3 on the TV and Youtube.
Would Chromecast work? or Roku is better?
I have chromecast and miracast works like a charm from day 1 when I got my phone. It is official supported for G3. Also other cool apps like netflix, youtube, chrome, play music all access, etc. work with it.
Chromecast works with any android 5.0 for 4.4 and before you can try an app called Mirror-enabler (search for it here in xda) I have 2 unofficial supported devices working with it (galaxy s3 mini and xiaomi mi2s).

Thanks for your input.
Im deciding between Chromecast or AmazonFire Sticky or the EzCast by Measy
I'd recommend Chromecast, you can not only 'cast' from apps like youtube, netflix, etc, but you can also Cast your whole screen (Actual screen mirroring) for games and whatever else. Not sure if amazon, etc do that.

oh cool...
is there a lag or delay in the casting?
I know this is old but miracast now works for the Roku 3, which blows the chromecast out of the water.
Hey guys.
Did not want to create a new thread, so I'm resurrecting this one.
I'm a g3 user with an smart TV. I do have a generic slim port adapte which works fine.
What I'm wondering is, I'm still not sure which is the best way to play videos on. TV. I couldn't notice the difference between them.
Slimport
Miracast direct wifi
Phone connected to TV over USB and the smart TV plays the video.
What are the pros and cons of these 3 methods do you think?
Thanks in advance!

I am using Redmi Note 6 Pro to cast screen to Vu 43" Ultra HD 4K tv. But the wireless display function isn't working. I've observed this problem with my previous devices that are Redmi 4, Redmi Note 5 pro. The only app I've successfully used to cast media is " All Screen (Chromecast, DLNA, Roku, Fire TV) " by Aryabhata Labs which can be downloaded from Play Store.
This app can only cast media to TV not the whole screen itself. I've read at many places about this problem, but there's no solution available for this. I've successfully casted screen of Vivo phone to the same tv. The only problem is with Redmi Series phones. I don't think the problem is at VU TV's end.
Somebody please provide a solution.
Same with me.
as per my knowledge, its the issue with Android version. I could cast seamlessly with MIUI 8&9 versions and Android Marshmallow & Nougat.
My Mi Max which is running MIUI 7 with Marshmallow is connecting Vu TV perfectly.

Hi,
Could u plz explain if u r facing the same problem as me. I have chromecast and am able to cast to my tv but i cannot get fullscreen like when i use my samsung
phone to cast. If u have chromecast have u tried using google home app? While this enables full screen casting in some cases there are many issues in most cases.

I do not have Chromecast. I've only tried casting my android screen to tv.
Greetings all,
When I have no issue casting to my Chromecast 1from within apps that support casting like Netflix, VLC or similar, problem comes when I want to mirror my screen for other usages.
For example I like to do some retrogaming mainly using RetroArch, unfortunately there is no casting support in the app.
I used to be able to cast my games on a bigger screen like my TV to make my gaming sessions even more enjoyable when I was on my older devices, however now it is impossible from my new Redmi note 8 Pro.
I would like a trick/tip which does not require using a google account (trough the Home app for example) because I am not using my phone with a google account for may reasons (no google account is logged on my phone, nor I use the PlayStore).
If it is possible to cast for example NetFlix I see no reason why I cannot simply mirror my screen.
Thanks.
Redmi note 8 Pro
MIUI 11.0.2.0 PGGEUXM
Coz Xioami choose to use Miracast for it's mirroring protocol instead of Chromecast.
Those two are different protocol.
Try updating "security" app manually from apkmirror, (not sure if this is the one that added the option for me, or having Android 10 11.0.4), after you do one of these options, or both, go to:
Settings>special features>video toolbox>manage video app>add your desired app to cast.
Now whenever you open the app you will see a small line in one of the edges, you can swipe it and you will see many options, one of them is cast
