I have an Mi TV 4A and RN5 pro. I have mobile network as a only data source. I want to cast my mobile to miracast supported Mi TV 4A without a WiFi network. Pls suggest which ROM or any method to cast the screen. Currently using liquid remix pie ROM.

Try using hotspot from your phone.

tried hotspot, not working. if i am connecting mobile and tv in same wifi then it is working.
Use someone else's phone to create a hotspot and try to connect to that device.
As I mentioned already I can connect from other wifi router or hotspot. But I want connect from my own mobile. is there any way to do?

Miracast doesnot need wifi network to cast. Theres direct connection b/w device & tv.
Its DLNA which works via wifi network.
So you should be able to screen cast directly to TV via miracast or wireless display feature.
In MIUI, its in Wireless & Networks->More->Wireless Display
1. Have miracast/widi enabled in TV settings
2. Switch on Wireless Display setting in RNP5, your TV will appear on screen
2. Select it & accept connection request in devices, RNP5 & TV
3. Wait for direct connection between TV & RNP5
4. RNP5 screen is mirrored on TV
(Tested in LG LA6200 Smart TV, works this way without any 3rd device or wifi router)
which custom rom supporting this feature? i dont want to use miui.

I havent tried custom roms on this device.
But this is generic feature & must be present in LineageOS/AOSP based roms. Please check in your rom's display settings.
I have used it on RR in redmi1s (hardware limited), LinOS in Motog2 etc
Some device manufacturers disable this option, due hardware limitations. But custom roms will have it.
Its available with name Cast, in Display settings (generally last option) or QS tile (check hidden tiles)
1. Settings->Display->Cast (in QS cast->go to more settings)
2. Cast Settings (3 dots)->Enable wireless display
3. Wait for TV to be listed
4. Click & accept connection
5. Voila, its done....
I did exactly same procedure. But it not detected unless i have connected in third party wireless network.
I always use this feature with my LG tv (same way as above), have tried it with Redmi1s (custom rom, display->cast), Motog2 (custom rom, display->cast), and redmi note 5 pro (MIUI, wireless & networks-> more->wireless display). Always worked well.
Just a note, it may take time & multiple attempts before listing & proper connection, & distance between TV & mobile shoule be less, else issues crop in.
That listing of TV via 3rd party wifi network, it may be working under DLNA & not miracast.
P.S. In RNP5 pro, as i checked it, even with miracast based cast, when you switch it on, it will first switch on your wifi before making connection. But it need not connect to any wifi network.
May be its like, cast feature in current version is open to both, DLNA & Miracast, thats why it switches on wifi to check whatever method it finds to connect to TV. & by default it goes to DLNA. In old Redmi 1s, cast feature doesnt enable wifi to make connection unlike current RNP5 pro.
So try switching off wifi device & attempt connection. As wifi access point may be saved & gets auto connected, when cast feature attempts to switch on wifi. Be near to TV while attempting miracast mirroring.
Thanks I have switched to Havoc OS based on 8.1. Screen cast works fine here. May be this feature absent in pie based ROMs.

I'm using a n5110 with CM11 nightly 20140127 and a HI763 WIFI Display Dongle Adapter. CM11 cannot find the device on "Wi-Fi Direct" or "Display -> Cast Screen". I don't have another WiDi device, so I'm not sure if it's my tablet or the display adapter problem.
Has anyone tested Wi-Fi Direct mirroring on Note 8 CM11 and has it working?
Probably bad WIFI Cast device. I had gone through 2 different models from china.
One would not connect to any wifi band G or N using open or secure network. The other would connect but would not connect to miracast, would say hardware error.
I found a good one simple and has the latest firmware. And no Lollipop sign in for DLNA. )
The only troubles are that in DLNA bridge mode, it limits you to 65mbps on the bridge mode. I think that is because I am on 5ghz N band. So I don't see any point to using DLNA if your going to use WIFI streaming with G band connections. I would try 2.4 bonded N but, don't like having our neighbors complain.
The only issues I have noted with these devices is they do not like hidden SID networks, and you may have issues with older N wireless routers. I had to mess with advanced settings to get smooth data streams from having the router 1 meter from the miracast dongle.
Since you pushed a developer rom, mostlikely you will need to remove screen mirroring within Titanium Backup, and push your factory backup of Samsung screen mirroring app. I had to do that when I was using a different developers ROM on 4.2.2.
Soon Samsung will release 4.4.3 to Note 8.0 and 10.1 when 2014 edition gets its update. That is why I went back to OEM ROM and realized that there is no significant gains using a developer's rom, unless you are willing to be their guinea pig. Done with it, and will not do it again... way too many troubles for little gain if any.
Has anyone tested the TAB PRO to mirror using Chromecast? Can you share the experiences?

I can use apps like netflix, but i have to be in a valid country to use it. Using vpn will break the connection. For mirroring only possible
If you are rooted. Mine is not (tab pro 8.4 ). In the following link read something about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
I also have a nexus 4 wich works fine mirroring, but vpn breaks the connection again.
A other work arround would be a dwrt router where you change the dns server. Or you could use a pc as hotspot router where all clients
connect to. Maybe its better to use the dongle from samsung or a smart tv easier setup and works for me.

Actually instead of VPN I am using Unblock-us in a Linksys router which works fine with Roku and Apple tv or any other device conected to it, but not with Chromecast since they force the use of their own DNS. This is why I was looking at mirroring as an option , but I agree with you that a dongle might be the best option to avoid any lagging or interruptions.
Thanks

I ended up buying a Dongle on Amazon, which is much cheaper than the Samsung, and I dont have to worry about the compatibility with Chromecast. I suppose Sasmung will make Cast Mirroring available to all devices sometime soon
Cromecast mirroring by r3pwn
I used the hack by r3pwn [EXPERIMENTAL] Enable Mirroring from any device and had no issues what-so-ever with my SM-T900 (12.2 Tab Pro).
I'm using OS 5.0 in my fire tv and every time my neighbor turns on their screen mirroring my amazon fire tv pops up a screen for it, they ate on a different network, not mine, and I don't have screen mirroring enabled, so it's there a way to stop this and/or hide my fire tv from being seen by others?
What? How could that be possible, if you don't have shared networks?
Do you actually get your neighbour's mobile screen on you tv???
Check your router, he's not in you wireless network!
Check your firetv wireless, you're not allowing anyone to connect freely.
Check your firetv, his mobile is not paired as a remote device.
I actually thought he hacked my network, but my router doesn't show his device, plus I looked at his phone and my network isn't in it, he had comcast and I have verizon, so I'm at a loss! Like I said I don't even have mirroring turned on in in settings,he can never connect but the screen pops up every time he turns on his screen mirroring, pain in the butt!
Screen mirroring aka MiraCast isn´t done via your network. It is done via a direct WiFi connection between both devices (aka WiFi Direct). That´s the reason you won´t find your neighbours device in your network. If the connection request pops up it´s the fault by your neighbour because he chooses your device as target. If he would choose his own device you wouldn´t get a request. I´m not on FireOS5 but there might be 2 settings, one which does block automatic connections but leaves MiraCast enabled and a general setting for turning MiraCast/Screen mirroring completely off.
Hey guys. Here is the situation, I have windows 10 pc without Internet access but with WiFi card, and mi5s with Lineage 15.0 and Internet access. I want to watch movies on the big screen, but when I connect my pc to phone's hotspot there is no available miracast devices. If I use 3rd device to create Wi-Fi spot, miracast works fine, but i have Internet only on my phone, so that is not the option. I can't just use phone for Internet sharing due for my mobile operator's restrictions.
Can I use WiFi on my phone only for miracast and LTE for Internet?
Is there any other ways to find the solution?
Thanks a lot!
Hi.
I'm having problems with connecting my Mi 6 with TV.
Long story short, before I could easily connect phone and Tv through wireless network. Now I have to do some weird things like connecting those two through direct Wifi, then disconnecting, and only then i can share my phone screen on Tv.
I'm using latest xiaomi.eu weekly ROM.
Any idea what can I do to connect them normally?
Thanks.
