Moto Z Play for some weird reasons has disabled cast. You have to root your device and edit one line in build.prop from persist.debug.wfd.enable=0 to
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
It should work.

Google removed that functionality from Android in Marshmallow and where it exists after that is where the vendor adds it. Motorola doesn't add it.

The reason Moto disabled it, is because they want people to buy their Moto Mod Projector

That would be very weird reason - Insta Share Projector can't replace cast.
I found info about this on official Lenovo forum. One of moderator said:
"Google removed Miracast from stock android many versions ago. And since Motorola builds on stock android with very little modifications, most of their phones have not had Miracast in many years. Android supported Miracast, in Android 4.2 (KitKat) and Android 5 (Lollipop). However, Google dropped native Miracast support in Android 6 (Marshmallow) and later. If you want to mirror the display from a newer Android phone or tablet, you’ll need to do so via Chromecast."

LG SmartShare

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the SmartShare app that comes with LG phones to work with the S3? Just got an LG smart TV and want to use this feature. I did find an APK, but it just force closes after installation with the message 'manufacturer not match'
I'm not sure on the implications of this and I would check but I suppose you could alter thebbuil prop to saybthis is an lg phone and not a Sammy.
Check first as I have no idea of it's problems etc

No it never will and never was! Works with LG's verry well, don't get the OP's point why he wants the SmartShare app if AllShare can do the same...
DLNA is a standard so should work with ALL DLNA capable products!
Only screen mirror and that kind of (non_DLNA) functions will work per brand...
I actually find BubbleUPnP better than AllShare too as you can assign a different video player app - take a look at that if you're not a fan of AllShare.

No Allshare app is only for Samsung devices for now. Samsung wants to include other brands too eventually but for now all Samsung devices can be connected thru it. My LG smart tv is not recognized on it and just like allshare, LG has their own Smartshare. OP can still use DLNA directly on S3 to connect his TV but allshare would only work with Samsung devices
I have actually patched the manufacturer check but it crashes on my Nexus 7... I will share apk here so you can test it on your device.
NOTE: I do not think this is going to work on any device exept LG becouse of some kernel modules that are developed by LG and included only in their phones.
Does not works :crying:

Mirror cast is not natively supported anymore on devices above lollipop as Google push their chromecast instead
You can enable it via build.prop modification but this requires root
You can cast from apps that support casting
For example YouTube you can cast from your phone if you have the YouTube tv app - Just go into settings and pair your device with the code it gives you under the watch on TV section
The easiest way to get content from your device onto the TV isnt by mirror casting as even if you get it working it will be very laggy but by using a media server such as bubbleupnp - see their website & apps on Google play store
I see. Thanks for the information

Xiaomi Redmi Smart TV 4A remix os

Hello guys, I purchased XIAOMI 4a smart TV, inbuilt patchwall UI is no doubt good for general purpose, but when you want to play games and do many things like doing on smartphone, it is not upto the mark for me. I want Remix os as an option for this TV.
There is Bluetooth drivers folder in root directory but you can't use Bluetooth in it. (Intentionally not provided)
-----------No support for game controller to emulate touch control as in Remix os.---------------
You can't create wifi hotspot.
And many more.....
Also if someone can give me ideas to emulate touch via Xbox controller, it would be great help.
Edit:
I tried to install Google play store TV , Google account manager, play services, and service framework. Everything installed but after opening play store it gets force closed each time.
What is the display size?
43"
Lets open a common thread for all the MiTV owner to share ideas and know-how regardless of tv model and versions available as well as regions. Hoping a development and mod could be bring together.
Install this app and share me the screenshot.

Have a look at this. It will give you some insight of how wierd it us to do so.
Hey guys, this is to inform you all regarding this model is added in "certified Android Devices" list, so in near future you will get Android support officially.
And if some development as in progress than you might get chance to have different rom support on it.
Hey friends,
This model is about to get android pie update officially.
Bro I didn't got it yet your post is 2 years old please help me
Which TV model is yours ?

Miracast kernel?

Hello, I was just curious if there is a kernel that supports/enables miracast?
Thank you in advance
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
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!

mirror screen without a Chromecast

hello
I have a rooted Motorola g 5g plus
I want to Miracast my phone to a bravia Sony tv
miracast to tv worked with a Poco x3 NFC and a Asus Zenfone 3 but moto g 5g plus can't find tv so I can't mirror my screen and same thing for Motorola one action and Motorola one vision
I asked Motorola about my problem and they said I have to use a chromecast dongle
but Chromecast is equal to half price of my moto and also almost all other phones can do it without it !!!
is there any way to unlock/enable miracast/mirrorscreen on a Motorola phone ?
Well did you tried installing apps like this?
Miracast - Wifi Display - Apps on Google Play

yes I did tried some
the one you sent , after taping on "connect" button it just opens stock cast app which need Chromecast
I found a solution for the same problem for moto g2 which you need to add a line to a file names build.prop inside system folder but I could not edit that file and I afraid that can brick my phone because codes inside the file is different compared to g2
Probably go back to use your old xiaomi phone when casting is concerned then(if you don't want your device bricked).
The build prop may be functional, but there is also a large risk as moto g2 is a museum old phone and the changes probably won't apply now.

just wanted you to know that I tried to edit that line with es file explorer but It would not let me save it and also tried to edit it in PC and push it back via cmd while phone is in twrp but again it failed because of being read-only and strangely refuse to change permission
i find out that system partition unchangeable read-only problem is exist from Android 10 and also pixel users can't change it
so I conclude that I can't enable mirror screen ( at least for now )
i disappointed
You need to do that with root, like magisk, but banking apps and maybe even google play won't work.
Or you can temporarily buy a cheap old xiaomi phone that does nothing but casting.

as I said before
I have a rooted Motorola g 5g plus and I did grant es file explorer for doing that
also banking apps working after hiding root
as you suggested
I'm using my old asus phone to mirror screen
but shame for Motorola
thank you for your replay
Maybe try downgrade to android 10 if possible. Android 11 have problems with file accessing as far as I know.
