[Q] Chromecast screen cast issues on NI1 firmware - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Hi guys! I got a tab pro 8.4 (mondrianwifi) last week and I can't seem to get the cast screen function in chromecast to work and I wondered if anyone had experienced and maybe found a solution. Whenever I choose to cast screen it connects but my screen on both the chromecast and tablet freeze, no error message or anything. I can still here system sounds on occasion though! The only way out of this is a reboot.
Now I have read through the forum posts and I realise there was a problem casting content within apps itself but this was apparently fixed in the NI1 update, which I'm currently using. Nothing I can see in the forum refers to the native ability to cast screen or relates to problems when using this firmware.
I have seen videos of this functionality being used on the mondrianwifi but it may have been CM or some other ROM being used, so maybe it's a TouchWizz thing.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :good:

I have the same problem . The mirroring freeze my tablet when using stock unrooted rom.
Right now I'm using a custom rom based on stock and rooted and my tab 8.4 (mondfianwifi) can't find a chromecast to screen mirroring.
Later I will try a few custom roms based on aosp and I will see what happens. Then I will tell you the results

Thanks Bruno, I've actually just flashed Euphoria ROM and I'll see how that goes and let you know. Battery doesn't seem as good as stock so that's a bit annoying :/ also the notification drawer seems tiny. I guess it's still a work in progress.

Tell me your experience with screen mirroring so I don't have to try it myself. Try it using the default screen mirroring in notification drawer and later using chromecast 's own screen mirroring option

Hey . I have just made screen mirroring work without it freezes the tab pro 8.4
In using a custom rom called revolution 1.1 based on stock TouchWiz 4.4 .
When I wanted to screen mirror the tablet didn't find the chromecast .
What I did was to use YouTube own chromecast option (the one that shows videos but don't mirror the screen) , then it appeared 2 option to connect with chromecast :
1) "device with cast option"
2) "name of my wifi web"
I frequently use option 2 because that's the only option available (when using cast or screen mirroring ) but I choose the 1st one (by the way, I only have 1 chromecast and that's the only device with cast options)
After I choose option 1 my TV took 10 seconds and it shows the video but it didn't appear on my tab pro 8.4 that a cast was been made.
Then I choose to click the cast option of YouTube again and this time it only appear option 2 (like always ) and then it conects at that same second to my tab and chromecast .
After that I decided to try screen mirroring again and it appears to me the 2nd option (meaning that my tab found my chromecast. That didn't happen before when I try to mirror my tab) I chose to mirror and bum! Screen mirroring working perfect!! It didn't freeze (when using stock unrooted rom it freezed right away, in 10 seconds ) . This time I went 5 minutes and all is working perfectly. !
Try yourself and tell me your experience . Good luck!

So screen mirroring using the chromecast app works in euphoria rom but it crashes if you rotate, if you keep it in a fixed rotation it's fine. Using the cast screen option from the notification drawer doesn't show the available Chromecast at all.
I also changed the governor settings to power save and that makes the battery performance a bit better. I'll keep playing around with those options.

I have just found the same as you but on stock TouchWiz rom with 4.4 kitkat. If you rotate the screen it freezes and also it freeze if you start screen mirroring while horizontal but If you use the tablet all time in vertical it's fine.
What about the color while screen mirroring in a aosp rom ?
Are they inverse or negative?
If you start the screen mirroring while the tab pro is horizontal and don't rotate . Does it freeze?
In my case , using TouchWiz 4.4 it freezes no matter if I rotate to horizontal or if I start the mirroring in horizontal

The colour is normal on this ROM and if you start in landscape it's fine as long as you don't rotate. Even if you do, it just disconnects you.
I'm still undecided about sticking with this ROM or to go back to touchwizz. Battery is better on stock but I like the aosp lollipop feel so I'm not sure... Battery is really important to me though so I'll probably go back to stock or a modified stock rom. Hopefully aosp lollipop ROMs will improve when touchwizz gets a lollipop update!

Hopefully you are right. Sometimes in horizontal it doesn't freeze even if you rotate the screen but I'm not sure if those freezes were because of the first time of using mirroring r just at random

If I try any other ROMs I'll let you know mate!

So I've been using this since released and it is an amazing rom, lovin it.
2 questions about the new camera though. I have seen a video where in split capture both front and rear record simultaneously, however it seems to only work capturing rear camera and then after capturing front camera. Is the M7 not capable of the simultaneous capture? Also does the M7 not support the Full Hd (1920x1080) resolution for videos? When attempting to record it looks very sharp and crisp but when playing the recording back i get blotched colors and a thick green and purple line on the right side of the video.

The m7 does not have native dual capture like the m8 does.
In regular camera before Eye experience, it is able to capture image from both, with a PictureInPicture looking window for front camera.
At one point, I attempted to try and enable dual capture for the m7, but did not have much luck and did not try for long.
It's possible that it could be enabled, but I have yet to do so.
Most of that would be done kernel side and I do believe it can be done.
But HTC never gave us that ability on the m7.
So yeah, to use dual capture/split view, it takes one and then the other.
As far as the video, yes it does HD.
I have yet to do a lot of video with the Eye camera, but I did not notice anything like that in my testing.
You may actually be one of the many who have an inferior sensor, as many have had to send theirs in for repair/replacement for similar issues.
It may just be that the newer camera stresses it more, making it more apparent.
I assume you are in fact on the latest firmware, so that shouldn't be a concern.
If others are having similar effects, then it could be a result of porting the libs and binaries for the new features from the m8.
But if it's just happening for you, or a select few, then I would lean towards the hardware failure that HTC is aware of.
Thanks for the info, after posting this i messed around with the settings for the video issue. This is what I came across, if I set video quality to 1920x1080 via settings and shoot video on auto i get what I described in my post. If I change from auto and shoot in hdr I do not get the blothchy color or lines but image seems to be zoomed in a little.
Now when i set video quality to 1280x720 via settings and shoot video on auto no image issues. If I change from auto to hdr still using 1280x720 in the settings i get a 1920x1080 video that looks like it should not zoomed in either.
Seems odd but got it working. So would this be a hardware issue like you suggested or issue with the app, seeing it was meant for the M8?
Thanks again for sharing your work !
Camera Issue
First off Santod, been using your ROMS for quite a while now and have greatly appreciated your hard work. I have just one problem with this new one, as I see someone has already stated, I too am having an issue with my camera during recording. It looks fine on the screen while recording, but after recording i go to look at the video, and it's almost as if the split picture is active, but only for the back camera. What I mean is that there appears to be a line cutting the screen into two sections (like the split picture does, but it's still the whole screen video from the back camera) and the colors are off, almost as if it has the negative filter on but not quite. I have not had any issue with the camera previous to installing this new ROM. There is also a green line that shows up on the top of the video, on all the videos i have taken. Im not entirely sure that it isn't a software issue as I haven't had any trouble on previous roms, but I'm sure you know a lot more about it than I do. I'm about to reflash the ROM and see if that doesn't maybe fix it, but I figured I would let you know of the only problem I have encountered so far. Thanks again for all your work!

I tried this also, and it had the exact same effect for me. I wish I would have seen this yesterday as I recorded a whole show last night with messed up video and didn't even know it lol. Thanks for this, I guess I will use this as a workaround for now.
---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------
Upon closer inspection when i played back the video on my computer, the video is actually two of the same videos playing next to each other, not a whole video cut in half by a line.
some bug, need fix
Before, i really Thanks You cuz best series Rom for M7 VWZ.
Yesterday, i up this Rom for my M7 VWZ, but have some bug ...
I'm from Vietnam and use GSM Sim, i'm up from NuSence 4.4.3 and have some bug....
1> Only Call success at first call, then need restart for other call.
2> have icon Sim Notsupport in status bar,
i was reup many times but it's still that, now, i;m go back NS 4.4.3
P/s: Can you port "Ufocus" on M8 for M7 VWZ ?
I don't have any reboot options on my power menu. The only options I see are "Power off" and "Airplane mode". I also can't find any options for changing this, either in the installer or in Settings. Is there a way to fix this without doing a full wipe?
If it makes any difference, I originally installed this ROM using a full wipe with Nova Launcher selected, then later re-installed without wipe to change the launcher to Blinkfeed (but the reboot option has never appeared with either launcher).
Issues with Chromecast
Hey Santod,
I have been trying to mirror my screen with the chromecast app. as it connects it then disconnects and never actually works. I had it working on your older Nusense Six 8.0. Just wondering if this is something you can work on or if this is something I will just have to wait until the next iteration of builds.
Thanks,
Kevin Clark
Casting screen with Chromecast
Does anyone else have issues casting your screen with Chromecast? I tried, and it immediately ends the cast, leaving my TV at a black screen.
Thanka

I can also confirm that screen casting my screen no longer works as it did in the previous NuSense. So far this only appears to be an issue with Mirroring. Casting from apps like Youtube and Netflix work fine for me.

My battery life with this rom has been insane. I'd be at thirty percent after ten hours on gpe and dirty unicorns and the dalvik version of nusense.
Thanks for making a great rom, looking forward to Chromecast screen mirroring.
So I can't get ART to stick. Every time i switch to it and reboot it doesnt change. I am using xposed modules if that makes a difference
epst programming works?

You can't use art with xposed, it doesn't support art yet.

In having an issue with Bluetooth audio
I can pair my head set but it won't pass any audio
Any ideas?
Anyone else having issues with GPS / Google Maps on this ROM?
Was this version supposed to not have the Sense toolbox installed with it? I'm not sure how else to enable the swipe-typing otherwise...?
Issues switching to ART
Hey Santod,
I haven't gotten any reply from you about the chromecast issue. I understand. You are a great developer. I did have a quick question about ART though. I tried to switch my Phone to ART, but it didn't actually switch over when I told it to reboot to switch to ART. What am I doing wrong?

Currently I have a broken arm, so my presence and ability to type are somewhat effected.
i dont use Chromecast so cant help too much there.
i know I saw info online about it and how you have to access it differently then what seemed obvious.
As for Art, Xposed is not Art compatible and will auto revert you to dalvik if enabled.
So you have to choose one or the other, which is why I left Xposed out of this build.

switched from G4 miss a couple of features

1. I use quick pic as my galary app. When I open a media I would like for it to not default to which app to open but ask me every time. Ie. I may want to open a video in the Samsung video player if I'm at work and use the small window but if I'm at home I want to use a different app to share with chrome cast
2. Issue is the front camera screen flash and ability
3. Is the button lay out on the LG phones.
The latter two or just gig to take some getting use to but the 1st might make me switch to the V10 even though don't think I want a screen that big.
Does anyone have a solution I am the first to admit this may be a user error
I miss tap to wake the most

Resurrection Remix Problem = Blank Screen on everything.

I have a Galaxy note II that is rooted and is currently using v5.5.9. I have this problem that is really bothering me... It involves the screen, every time I enter any app or video (any video that is either offline or on chrome, browser, opera, firefox) the screen goes black but the app still works (QR code reader screen goes black but still reads the QR code) OR the video has audio but screen is blank. I can't even watch videos that I have recorded myself! I discovered however that if I change the orientation (portrait to landscape) of the video it gives me a small snap shot before going blank again. How do i fix this and if it is impossible should I go back to the original samsung ROM or a previous ROM?

I have tried everything, it just stays blank and yes I did a full wipe and installed the ROM. I use the GAPPS that they provided... see it was fine at the start but then it just started to stuff up.

Question Desktop mode working?

Hi,
I've been trying to get the desktop mode to work on android 12 OriginOS but all I'm getting is a blank screen with navigation buttons (either while if I pick light theme, or black if I pick dark theme)
When the phone is locked, then the clock appears on the external monitor
I tried 3 different adapters / cables but getting same results
Only app so far where it works 100% is VLC: The video will properly play on the external monitor, in full screen (no tearing visible or any artifacts)
Has this been fixed on android 13?
Did someone manage to get the desktop mode to work?
cam someone with android 13 try this in the developer options -> 'Force desktop mode'?
Does it display anything?
Thanks
I've tested it on OnePlus 9 Pro running Android 13 on a Huion Kamva 13 tablet and I could see the desktop screen on it. However pen was not working at all.
Hoping that Android 13 improves on it, anyone being successful or seen improvements over Android 12 version?
How did you get apps on the external monitor? I was unable to move an app from phone's screen to external screen, any options?
