Now that I'm enjoying my Moto Z2 Force on T-Mobile and with Android Oreo 8.0, I wanted to know if this model supports USB-C to HDMI, or is it just as limited as all the previous Z models? Basically, I'm looking for a single cable or adapter (or the least contraption-looking solution) that will allow me to mirror whatever is on the Z2 Force's screen onto a TV or projector.
People have pointed previously to this adapter cable for the previous Z models, but it's currently out of stock on Amazon and over a month delivery time via AliExpress.
It supports mirricast so far with root

If you root the device and change the build prop lines you can get it to Miracast wireless in 1080p with a Belkin Miracast hdmi Dongle 100%
As far as HDMI out video streaming with a mhl adapter I had no luck right through a HDMI or av cable only Phone I know the supports that is the S8
Buying isimple medialinx female HDMI to AV converter and the Belkin Miracast Dongle on Amazon works wirelessly...

Thanks for this. Just out of curiosity, can you unroot afterwards and still keep that setting? I use my Z2 for corporate use as well.
Yes root is only with magisk manager V15.3 apk believe you can unroot from within the app if you unroot you still have permanent modified build prop files unless you faatboot flash all original firmware I'm not rooted and have the functionality
Follow the Oreo rooting procedure you need to unlock your bootloader first there's a few steps that's not simple if you aren't savy with this stuff .
Have to know if your on nougat or Oreo have to unlock your bootloader with ADB and fastboot files command prompt on your PC you can manage to unlock your bootloader that's the biggest step than rooting is just simply installing the magisk root APK and installing root

Mirricast under settings/cast is just disabled by default changing one line in the build prop enables it some reason Motorola disabled it on this phone

Does the phone support it?

Before you can even do Miracast, I believe CyanogenMod needs to support it, I haven't seen anything in Gerrit to support that Miracast has been added into 4.2 yet.
In theory there also has to be Miracast support for your device released (which Samsung has released, but I guarantee you that the drivers for it are closed source or outdated like everything else Samsung seems to do with the development community.) Keep in mind, just because it is supported by the OS doesn't mean it is supported by your phone. If it was Stock 4.2 (Samsung Stock) on your SGSIII then yes, Miracast would be implemented. Since it isn't, CyanogenMod has no obligations, nor guarantees that they will include that.

Except, that's not true. Some newer TV's support WiFi Direct screen mirroring, his TV might support it (I didn't look it up) if it does support the WiFi Direct Screen Mirroring (WiDi, now known as Miracast) then Samsung's Mirroring software would work if his device was stock, same thing with an LG Nexus 4 also running stock, or a Laptop.

Sorry I provided mis-info I thought he just wanted to stream to the TV... and I know it's OT, but I've found the best way to stream to the TV is having a DLNA supported router... I would still need Allshare on my phone, but not the computer, only the Media Center stuff....
Yeah my TV supports DLNA. I used to be able to stream pictures and video to my TV when I was on stock TW. Now that I flashed the latest CM10.1, wondering if it's possible to Miracast. Sounds like cm doesn't it support it... Yet.

Think about it like this, say you have a movie on your phone that you want to bring to your Buddy's house, but he doesn't have it, and his TV supports MiraCast....BAM, push the movie to the TV, everyone can watch on a large screen.
Or say you have a presentation on your phone, and the TV supports Miracast, no longer are you locked in one place by your laptop, but you can wirelessly stream the presentation to your projector.

That Allshare app is just a control point. The Actual AllShare app for DLNA requires TW frameworks which don't exist in CM. For DLNA/UPnP use BubbleUPnP. If you want to just push music look into DoubleTwist.

No worries man, it's better to ask questions and learn than never learn anything.
I can not find this info anywhere. Most likely I can't do this. I would like to use my old EVO like this macbook>stream to EVO>HDMI cable>TV. If this can be done, can it be HD?
And this is why questions go in the Q&A forum.

Hello, I have a few dummy Evo 4gs. Not active on cell network
I want to use it to play YouTube videos on my big screen led with HDMI.
Can someone point me to a working ron that does HDMI output mirroring?
Ideally I would like a fully baked rom. Something I can flash and HDMI mirroring will work for YouTube playing.
Anyone got any recommendations?

Why would you stream from your macbook to your evo and then to the TV instead of doing the Macbook straight to the TV?? You can stream from a macbook straight to the tv OR from your evo straight to the TV but not both
I would also like to use my old EVO as a media center. I know XBMC is fairly android-friendly these days. Download and install an APK.
I went and bought a new micro-HDMI cable on Amazon so in a few days and I'll post back with my findings.
My EVO is currently running a CM7 nightly from November.

just use plex or xbmc to get things streaming to the phone
once it streams to the phone, all you need to do is download an app called hdmi win from the market, start hdmi win, start your plex/xbmc app, plug the phone into the tv, boom you're good
the audio is always a little funky though
I got my HDMI cable in and installed XBMC. Using the program HDMIWIN I am able to mirror the device to my TV. The settings allow me to output to the TV at 1280x720 and the TV confirms that it is receiving a 720P signal. In the settings of the XBMC app, I am not able to change the resolution at all from 800x400. The phone itself is stuck at it's native resolution so I don't know if it is actually sending a 720P picture along the wire.
I am thinking that for standard definition media, this would be a good use of a retired EVO but if you're looking for any HD goodness, you'll probably have to use a different device.

it looks like IR might be an option too if you can manually add the codes in your remote app: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/93-remote-control-area/2126570-discrete-ir-code-list-nvidia-shield-tv.html

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 .

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 )

There isn't one for firetv... The ones from here will side load and work with mouse toggle or mouse. At the end of the threads there are ones that work. I have been using 5.1.5.014 with a mouse.

Oh wow, thanks. I really thought after googling the FireTV did already officially support it. It must have been talking about Fire Tablets instead, now that I look again.
I do already have that version side-loaded, but having to use the mouse is a deal breaker for me. I'll keep using the Roku until it comes officially I guess.
