I have Xoom Wingway with Kit Kat Big Part Omnirom. Wireless display is not a settings option. The wireless chip and driver should support Miracast. Why is it not available?

I have a mini wireless keyboard/mouse combo I used to use with my HTPC. I plugged it into the gtablet a few days ago when I was running TapNCrap and the keyboard worked well but as I expected there was no mouse support.
However, now with the Cyanogen Mod Firmware, it includes full USB Mouse Support which is fricken awesome!
With mouse support and the eventual docking station with HDMI out, this thing can become a basic laptop replacement. Actually, with Hulu coming to android and services like PlayOn which are also coming to android shortly, and the processing power of this little tablet, it can actually become an HTPC replacement in it's own right!
I am going to test out bluetooth mouse/keyboard support shortly, because if that works then you can just run an app on your phone to turn it into a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and pair it with the tablet, which would make it even more convenient to use form afar if/when the HDMI dock becomes available stateside .
I was pretty impressed with this as well. I was able to a USB barcode scanner and even use the tab through my USB KVM. Really a great bonus when you are hacking and cracking.
So I have no idea how Miracast works and have no clue if it is possible but i think it would be awesome to use this to accept Miracast from my Nexus 4 and HDMI output to my television. I know that because it has Android 4.2 it should support Miracast output but with how buggy all things Miracast that I have seen are, I would not want to use it for gaming anyway.

If you have a really good Miracast dongle for your TV (definitely not the Rocketcrap one), it's apparently pretty good. I have only tried the Rocketfish version, and while it worked for a short bit, it hiccuped and died a horrible death. The Nexus 4 is horrible for Miracast, so don't use that as an example. That's because Miracast is basically just an MPEG stream sent over a dedicated wifi channel (WiFi Direct). This is why the Nexus 7 can't do Miracast... It doesn't have the ability to have a second channel open at the same time. SHIELD has hardware-accelerated MPEG encoding, so Miracast runs a lot smoother and with less latency. The Nexus 4 either lacks the hardware encoder, or for some reason, doesn't use it.
But to answer your original question: By default, no, you can't turn SHIELD into a Miracast dongle. Technically, it *is* possible, and I've seen it done on similar hardware, but it's not something the device is designed or programmed to do.
Hi
I have a small desk for my monitor and laptop (lenovo T420 win7 64bit). At the moment I have a displayport to hdmi cable, but the plug is sticking out over the edge - so the dog hits it
Therefore I was wondering, can I use an Android unit as wireless display receiver for my Windows 7 PC ?
I have searched the internet - and MiraCast is one option , but i am not sure my T420 supports it - and it should be somehow buggy
At the moment I have a noname RK3066 HDMI stick (Android 4.1) not super stable though, and a SonyEricsson Arc S (LT18i) with HDMI, a Galaxy S3 with MHL adapter.
Since I work a lot in worksheets it is important the stick runs full HD (1920x1080) but my laptop screen only supports 1600x900 - and offcourse the text is clear and crisp. And it is also important It should auto launch, so I do not have to click the device every time.
My Wifi is 802.11n
Thank you all for any reply (and sorry for my bad English)

I have a 803iv by rikomagik. It's a rk3188 so it "should" be fast. Miracast was a joke from my phone, and that's two android devices. Good luck with Windows cross platform incompatibilities. I install home theaters and residential & commercial electronics, and unless a technology is standardised industry wide (like HDBaseT or even 802.11) you're SOL on interoperability. Your best bet would be a DLNA or a kit (sender & receiver), not a hodgepodge with android/Windows and resolution issues.

WAIT, a T420 has WiDi...that IS miracast...which IS a standard. have you gone into the stick settings and turned it on and just tried it? The only problem might be crappy chineese implementation...that's why I figured mine did not work. That or my custom firmware...
I have tried the omega rom on my sgs3 (since non stock rom doesn't have HDMI/ mhl out) and mirrorop receiver app and windows mirrorop sender . This works, not flawlessly since there is some delay and sound is not playing 100% fluid. I have to test this further.
I cannot make my laptop find my sgs3 through the Intel widi software, so standard widi receiver / miracast isn't working (yet)

so can android's hdmi out work like IN to show?
I think that hardware doesnt support it.
Have a look at splashtop streamer. It might be suitable for your needs
Edit: the app is actually called Spacedesk. I just had a look aty tablet. I was able to use my Samsung tablet as an extra screen for my laptop

I've actually looked into this for my tablet with my Samsung TV. Right now, I can't seem to find a way to connect it on KitKat, since WiFi Direct is not functioning properly.

We can not use miracast, this is very sad.
I just bought a double power 10.1 inch tablet. It's not bad since it's a quad core, has a gig of ram, bluetooth, and mini hdmi out and micro usb out. I use my tv as a monitor, and have a logitech bluetooth k810 keyboard. But -- I also have a m570 trackball that I cant get to work on it. I plug it in to the OTG cable and it seems to recognize it,but it doesn't work. I also have a lenovo n5910 trackball\keyboard that works fine, but the keyboard is too small and it's not backlite. So -- does anyone have ANY suggestions or ideas, or experience with this issue that can help me please ?? My tablet is kit kat 4.4.2
