[Q] Can a Note 10.1 (GT-N8000) stream Miracast?

Hi, I've been thinking about this subject for a long time and the available information is sparse and non-consistent. On top of that numerous wireless standards are named confusingly and do not create a clear picture of what this device is capable of.
So I saw my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has a feature called AllShare Cast (in Settings). For that to function you need a Samsung AllShare Cast dongle on your TV/PC, which wouldn't be a very satisfying option for me, as I'd rather have something brand-agnostic so any new device could hook up.
So I heard about this Miracast standard, that would allow certain devices to connect to Miracast capable hardware, no matter which brand they were from. So I tried looking up whether the Galaxy Note 10.1 would ever support Miracast, and so far, my search has come up only with the WiFi Alliance certificates that underline that the Galaxy Note 10.1 does not have the Miracast Source certificate, which for example the Samsung Galaxy S3 does have.

Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300)
But a few forum posts I've come across claim that AllShare Cast is built on top of Miracast, suggesting that these two implementations might be compatible. That's a confusing statement in the best and a misleading statement in the worst case. Is there any way that the hardware of the Galaxy Note 10.1 would be usable to send Miracast? Like by a custom kernel or ROM, an OTA update etc? Or is this manifestly impossible due to differences in hardware?

nope it doesnt!
Intel WiDi is also Miracast based. And you can connect any Upnp DLNA Player to a WiDi Server.
But couldnt get that running with my Note.
Maybe Allsharecast only works via WiFi Direct?

Miracast is based on WiFi Direct not Upnp, and Intel widi have some issued that will be fixed via driver update, if you want to connect your note to Upnp don't use allshare cast but use the normal all share application, that is for now till the drivers are fixed, but onething for sure is that note10.1 is on the list of miracast certified devices

Could you provide me with a list that mentions the Note 10.1?
I only find a press release (link) stating the following:
"As a leader in N-screen technology, Samsung has introduced AllShare Cast (based on Miracast), which is incorporated into most of Samsung's high-end smart mobile devices including the GALAXY S III, GALAXY Note 10.1, and GALAXY Note II, " said Hankil Yoon, Senior Vice President of Product Strategy Team, Samsung's Mobile Communication Business. "We will continue to support the program, and plan to offer more Miracast-certified devices to our customers going forward."
But then if you watch the two links in my first post (which link to the WiFi Alliance certificates of these devices), you see they state that the Samsung Galaxy S3 has Miracast Source certification, where the Galaxy Note 10.1 doesn't make any mention of it. Perhaps this still can be added in a future review of the hardware.
I just looked up the Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100) on the WiFi Alliance product certification page, sorted to only show Samsung products, it too, doesn't list Miracast Source as a certified option.
Here's a list of all "officially" certified Miracast devices.
Here's another XDA post outlining success with the SGS3 but faillure with a Note II.

[Q] What can I do with my G.tab 2 7.0?

I have a Galaxy Note 2 and someone just gave me tab 2 7.0. It is the wifi only edition with an ir port. My question is, what are some uses for this thing? I have some remote control apps and games. I'm looking to justify its existence next to my Note 2. I'm currently running sungsonic HD but might be changing that soon to a CM 4.3 rom.

[Q] Wireless Peripherals and Gaming Controllers

I would like to know a few things about android peripherals:
I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus and I'm about to buy a gaming controller for it.
​First question:
What's the difference between 2.4 Ghz Wireless Connection and Bluetooth? I mean, can you use a 2.4 Ghz PS3 Controller on Android, or no?
​2nd Question:
Is there any possible way of using a WiiMote Plus with this device? I know that Samsung changed the Bluetooth Stack Drivers, but I also saw a guy on YouTube connecting a WiiMote to Samsung Galaxy with no problem!

the wiimote, with the app of course should work with any phone that has bluetooth. i heard it does not work on Kitkat yet and possibly jellybean 4.3.

Like I said in my above post, Samsung replaced the stock andoid Bluetooth drivers in Touchwiz with their drivers!
For this reason the WiiController app and other similar ones do not work on it.

Was this removed from Samsung phones? I only see android beam now.

Aww what, hopefully not. That's a good feature. Haven't gotten mine yet so can't check.

I guess it's just called android beam now because my my note 5 and note 3 beam files to each other without any issues

There was always android beam, but S Beam used to utilize WiFi direct which allowed me to transfer a movie of like 1.5 GB in 1 minute. I don't think android beam uses that.

Android Beam uses Bluetooth, which is painfully slow compared to S Beam which used WiFi-Direct. My s4 has S Beam, and it's an incredibly useful feature, especially considering how large photo and video files are getting now. I can't find where to enable S Beam on my Note 5 (Verizon) which is a huge disappointment, and the only problem I have with my new device. So Beam is orders of magnitude faster than Android Beam. All of the hardware is onboard, so I'm hoping it's an oversight that'll be fixed soon.

Wifi direct is present inside wifi menu near MORE button and works great. I guess they just dropped the name of S beam to avoid confusion with android beam.

Yup, no more s beam. Wifi direct gets the job done for large files or lots of pics though.

[Q] Is There Better Gear Manager Connection In Lollipop Builds

Or in KitKat? I know it's flakey software altogether half baked by sammy and put out to the masses, but is it any better?
I'm tired of fighting tooth and nail to get my gear to connect so I was curious. thanks!
I've got a Galaxy Gear Null_ ROM Android and Gear S R750T OA7 TizenMod Experimental Build then a T-mobile Galaxy Note Edge Hyperdrive KitKat 4.4.4 NK3 obviously.
