Is there any way to do a screencast on an Android device... in particular the Nexus 7? I'm trying to put together a video and I wanted a clip that showed the U.S. and it zoomed into a specific city. Problem is, on the computer Google Earth is somewhat choppy despite having nearly brand new hardware, and Google Maps just does an instant snap to that location. Google Maps on my N7 on the other hand works JUST AS I WOULD LIKE... but I'm not sure how to capture it?
Any idea?

Screencast captures your phone screen at high frame rates into a high quality MPEG4 video with audio. It can also take snapshots of your screen by holding the search key on your phone.

I want something like this, not to record a screencast, but to use as a way of having video out in lieu of not having hdmi. I have a pc hooked up to my hdmi display and was looking at the options. This app sounds like the best but doesn't work yet with tegra 2/3.
How fast is it with other devices? Like could a game be played at a smooth frame rate? Does it allow to stream live and not record a video?
Are there any other ways of doing this?
I've been searching for a while now with no luck. I record gameplay on my GNote with the afore mentioned app but seeing as the developer has all but vanished I'm guessing we won't be seeing Tetra support.
You'd almost think Nvidia would make an app to do this just so Tetra fans could make gameplay videos, thereby promoting their devices.

There are some demo videos of stuff coming... Nivdia has one showing a playbook to a TV that has the Miracast protocol
and ESR labs has the following
Hopefully soon...
Unless you already have a TV with it built in, you will need a some some sort dongle that has WiFi and s HDMI output. I just got a raspberry pi to be used with the ESR labs Android Transporter when it come available.

I just stumbled upon those videos yesterday. Very interesting stuff. I think I may grab a couple of raspberry pi's. I'm in Canada and I couldn't find it in stock right now. I wish they would build a cheap enclosure for it. I put a post on their website if they plan on making a linux client and not just for the pi. I would think it wouldn't take too much to make a generic version. I also noticed some hdmi outputs on tablets don't provide 1:1 mirroring. For ex, acer tablets cutoff the bottom menu. This I believe is for video playback, which makes sense, but I hope it's an option or in the spec of miracast to offer 1:1. I saw a TI demo of miracast as well, and they make mention of the display showing one thing and the tablet showing something different typical of normal wired hdmi outputs. Nvidia also has demo's of miracast as you linked, but I hope they make a windows client. It'll be a ways off before it's standard on TV's and it sounds like there will be dongle's available, but a lot of people have computers hooked up to their displays so it would be nice if there is a complete software solution as well.
Android Transporter for the Nexus7 and Raspberry PI
Hi all,

Is it possible without rooting and without PC? :crying:
(I'm looking for the way to make video lesson (like Khan Academy's) direct on my tablet)

No, it's not possible. you need root or a pc (actually the root way to do it does not work atm)
Android 4.2 is supposed to include native support for Miracast devices. So we just need the Miracast set top boxes.
Does anyone know if Miracast carries over Audio?
I just installed Screencast on my N7 with CM10.1 grouper nightly 12182012.
When I try to screen capture video in landscape or in portrait the audio saves properly, but the video is a static hodgepodge of TWRP Touch recovery in a purplish sepiatone
yo b1LL did you bother reading Screencast app description? doesnt support Nexus 7 nor any tegra 3 based devices
Here's one
There's another thread that has one, and it works for screencasting but it really only gets 1-2 fps. So if you're desperate:

I had this issue when I was using my 360 on an HTC Desire. I really hated the build in photo viewer app, so I disabled it in settings. Every time I went to customize the watch face it ended up crashing. Once I realized I had disabled photos (or whatever the stock photo app is called) I re enabled it and then custom backgrounds worked. Kinda dumb, but I just didn't think about it since I had been using other stock watch faces and Facer before this.

I used to be able to use an animated image from the phones lenticular photo mode for a lock screen. Now if I try it just says preparing to share and then makes a really cruddy blurry picture that isn't even animated out of the moving picture instead. I am on 4.6.6 and have the amazon photos app icon. I tried on two other phones in the family and we all have this issue. Anyone else having this problem and has anyone found a solution yet?
maybe due to the most recent updates, for example i can no longer use the built in video app to stream from online, it just doesn't work since they updated the photo apps

I understand fire phone is not their priority but it seems a bit odd to kill lenticular functionality and leave it since that is basically the best thing the phone has going for it. Disappointing.
you can go to "applications & parental controls \ manage applications\ Filter by downloaded
click at photo and uninstall update.
you will can use 3d dynamic lock screen by lenticular photo again.
I was watching the recent XDA video on the youtube and saw https://youtu.be/QVz-NFpdgtQ?t=534 this feature in EMUI, projecting a second desktop onto a tv wirelessly.
I googled around but the only posts I saw were about how Huawei worked with some company to make this, so i'm wondering if theres any way to get this feature or one like it on my treble rom or if its included in any by default
Yes, PhoenixOS team helped programming Huawei desktop mode, and yes, it might work in aosp but first take a look here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/themes/desktop-mode-8-4-devices-t3837848
Hi there I've got my hands on that beast but 2 things bother me while mirroring stuff via WiFi/Bluetooth .
So I'm playing a game on my phone I'm using Miracast on my TV to cast it to the TV screen but the game doesn't launch in full screen it's more like middle of the screen with up and down having black border.
Also quality of mirroring is idk 720p maybe? Any ideas if that's just the way it should be or there's a way around that? I don't really have a pc to adjust anything with the software so any solution would be nice unless there's none. Btw I turned on in settings for games or apps to run in full screen they just don't.

In apps like YouTube, if you click Full-Screen button the image changes from portrait (with black side bars) to landscape.
Check if Ithere is a setting available to force your game app to run "full-screen"?
I agree with you, even full-scree landscape, the picture quality doesnt look like HQ resolution to me.
