(Q) Android 4.2 & Miracast - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I am hoping someone here can answer a question I cannot seem to find the answer for. With Android 4.2 one of the new features is Miracast. Now the question I have is will it work on the Galaxy Nexus? That is all I want to know. If you could answer this that would be great or a link to a article about it.
Thanks

I read somewhere back when i bought my GN that it would support Wi-Fi Display (which is the same thing as miracast i believe).
A couple articles about it found Here and Here

Awesome. Thank you for these links.

This is the feature I have been waiting on, I'm really surprised it's taken Google this long to implement it.

I hope we will see Miracast-compatible HDMI/MHL dongles for our TVs.
It would be nice to have a pocket-sized dongle that we could plug anywhere.

That would be pretty sweet. I just hope it works on existing DLNA devices.

10. Does Miracast support devices like wireless speakers? (audio only)
Audio-only devices are not part of the Miracast certification program.

FAIL! :hangs head:
I was so excited for this too, oh well, back to AirPlay.

There's already a dongle that should be compatible with Miracast:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/20/netgear-push2tv-neotv/

Anyone know if there is any way this would work with a Roku? I know that it has the ability to stream sound and video from the phone to Roku, but not sure if it'd be able to do the live streaming, since with screencast you can't cache since you don't know what the user will do next.

is there a way to use miracast or wireless display on galaxy nexus ?

[Request] IntoNow apk. It's Shazam for TV shows.

Hi there.
There's a new app that acts like Shazam but for TV shows. Unfortunately, it's not available in Canada.
Anyone in the US willing to DL this free app and post the APK somewhere?

Thanks kakrikakri. Install worked. Can't wait to test it after work.
Thanks kakrikakri!
Works great, even in Canada, eh!
Here's the apk. Its a freeware, So i guess its not illegal to attach and Share.
It works perfectly in Sri Lanka.
Tried with House MD , Outsourced.
It brings the results back with the TV Show Name and Exact Episode Number. Ingenious App ! Only needs to hear about 10 seconds from the show, not even using the camera. Just the Mic,.
Thanks! Just downloaded it on my Sensation.
Surely this should be installable through market enabler. I don't know why it doesn't work, even when set to 'US', anyone else having that problem?
Wow. This app is awsome!
How loud do you need to have volume turned up on what your watching? I got a full 7.2 surround sound and I had it turned way up and it still said no go

DoubleTwist?
I thought that DoubleTwist is only for receiving music from iTunes; not for sending music and video and such to remote devices. Or can that be done?
I'm also looking for something like this. I'd like to be able to send what I see on the display of my Android device or Linux notebook to my TV. In Apple land, that would be done with AirPlay -> http://www.apple.com/airplay/; "Mirroring" is what I'm after. I'm not looking for something which would allow me to send just a video or music file to my TV - DLNA works.
Can someone suggest a solution? Those AirPlay apps that I found in the Play Store only seem to be able to send music, .or at best also video files. Oh, and I'm also looking for an AirPlay "receiver" for Android, that I could put on some Android USB stick or such which I'd connect to my TV via HDMI.
Oh #2 - it doesn't HAVE to be AirPlay. Something else altogether would be fine as well, as long as it does what I "need".
Thanks,
Alexander

Well then we can close this thread now because AirPlay mirroring isn't going to happen from your Android device. Hell the native Android solution to mirroring (Miracast) isn't even going to happen. That was just Googles way of saying "Look we had a half ass thought about it, now leave us the hell alone. No you cant have mirroring. Sincerly, Google."
You say you are familiar with DLNA and it works well for you, the end.

Request apk for Viki, Crunchyroll or any apps for Google TV

Hello,
If somebody is kind enough, please post the apk for Crunchyroll and Viki for Google TV or any apps that on the Google TV.
Please don't point me to:
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
It does not work since evozi emulated T-Mobile devices to download apk. The Chrome extension does not work either since I don't have a Google TV devices to download from Google Play Store. So, if anybody has Google TV apks or figure out how to download all the apks for Google TV. Once I have all those apks, I will zip them and post it to my dropbox and share it with everyone if possible. Please let me know.
Thank you
EDIT: Link for apk to Crunchyroll, Viki, and Drama Fever from arunningpir8 below
https://www.dropbox.com/s/acilpqm3qbtub8v/gtv_apks.zip
I test all of them out. Viki and Drama Fever works great. Crunchyroll will give you a sideway screen. I recommend you use the normal Crunchyroll app, not the Google TV one.

you can download any free apk by putting the google play url into this website. http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
Any chance we could get a apk for the SiriusXM GoogleTV app? I cannot download it and it would work so much better than the phone application on the FireTV. I cannot provide a link to the Google PlayStore page as I do not have 10 posts yet. The apk is called com.siriusxm.gtvplayer.

dramafever gtv request
Can someone re-post the most updated version of the dramafevertv apk?
Viki works fine, and so does crunchy roll from the previous posts.
The dramafevertv apk posted from before stopped working about a month ago(November 2014) with the error "can't play this video" for all videos.
Much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Another android lover, who is missing out on some drama time.
Is there a newer version of the Google TV DramaFever app out there than 01.01.09 from about July 2014? I am getting that "can't play video" message on one of my Android sticks but I think it still works on my Revue and Amazon Fire Stick.

By the way, another app you can sideload is Dramania. You can get it from mobi24.net.
Also in the limited Amazon app store on the firestick, there is an app called MBC online that you can install directly.

Just tested on my AFS and the version of DramaFever app I have works. I am pretty sure it still works on the Logitech Revue as well. I also tested it on my old Samsung Fascinate running a 4.22 rom at it plays video.
I did notice that it stopped working on my Favi Smart Stick(running Android 4.04) starting in November. But since it works on some platforms, It doesn't sound like a server problem or change or an encoding issue.
The only thing I can think of is that the DramaFever app is having a problem all of a sudden calling the internal Google movie player app. I tried clearing data and defaults as well.

Thx
I have it side-loaded it on an Android box, it worked great until recently and I hoped there was a newer version out since I e-mailed dramafever with this error "can't play this video" and all they said was "update the apk to the latest version from the playstore". I know they haven't updated it since Sept.10/2013 version "01.00.09" on Gplay.
I guess I will have to wait until the next update whenever that is for a fix since its more of a server-side limitation for now than my client since it loads the pictures and I can login to my account no problem on my box which is weird.
I did try to re-install the apk and logging out of my account to test but to no avail. I also tried clearing the cache and clearing the data in the settings as well but that didn't fix anything either.
Any suggestions appreciated. I'm running Android 4.2.2 on my box.
Regards,
Drama Lover.

Are you having issues running it on a generic android box like me? or on an Amazon Fire TV device?
for some reason, it works on my Amazon Firestick(and other devices) but not on my generic Android stick(which I am trying to figure out as well). Like you, it was working well up to around November 2014.
I am running the same GoogleTV app version 01.00.09 on all devices which I backed up and restored from my Logitech Revue(I know they occasionally change their servers which could break the app and force you to upgrade). I don;t think it;s the app since it works on other devices on the same network. I wonder if an update to a Google service broke it on this device. Maybe something related to the internal movie player app.

I'm having issues on a generic android box like you. I don't have a stick so I can't test.
I'm sure I haven't updated anything on the box since November to android since I don't have gplay on it.
I didn't backup or restore, I directly side-loaded using the apk from a usb stick using an otg cable.
It probably isn't the app, its their servers not allowing access (maybe not allowing lower version android devices? but that shouldn't be it, what version are you running on your non-working android device?)
I don't even have google services on the android device haha, but it worked fine before it broke.
I'm stuck using Viki now which is not half bad, it just doesn't remember which episode I left off like with dramafevertv which is a shame.
Cheers
The version on my favi smartstick is 4.04. Yeah my first idea was they changed servers on the back end. But it still works on the Revue and my AFS. The Revue is running old ICS version 3.2.
The phone tablet version of Viki saves the location. But it has commercials. The Google TV version is better on the TV.

How to save profile in gamepad mapper?

Hi!
I used gamepad mapper to set the controlls for the nvdia shield controller in N.O.V.A 3. But if i exit the game and shut off the controller and want to play again later, then i have to set up the controlls again for the shield controller from the gamepad mapper. I want to know how to save profiles.
Plz help me. I just bought my shield tablet and controller.
i'm curious to how this is done as well, it's not obvious from the interface.
