Hey there everyone! Chromecast app was recently updated to give certain Android devices the ability to mirror your mobile device screen to your Chromecast device. M7 is supported in the official list but not the M8. The app is beta and available here for download http://gappsearly.com/google-apps/chromecast/summary/33-chromecast/124-chromecast.html
If you have a backup of your current Chromecast app and want to test it out please post feedback. I'm on vacation and won't be able to test it out for a few weeks but curious if it works with M8. Thanks in advance to anybody brave enough to give it a try.
Note also the article indicates GPE and you should restart your Chromecast device for it to work as intended. Sense users take note and please post the ROM you are trying this with.

I installed the 1.7.4 ver on gpe and it didn't work.

It doesn't work with the M8 yet which is why it's not in the list of supported devices.
Thanks for testing it out. I have one of these http://airtame.com/ on the way once it's ready. Looks pretty sweet, won a few awards at CES in Vegas this year. A bit more expensive than Chromecast but appears to be more versatile.
You can enable the M8 for this here:

I used the enabler, sound seems like its hit or miss. It worked fine the other night now it wont work at all.
I am using the #mirrorEnabler on Maximus HD 6.0.1 (I am s-off and super CID running on latest software) and every time I try to connect Google Play Services force shut, is there any way around that? Thanks

Won't be able to chime on until I'm done with vacation but looking forward to giving this a try. Seems like GPE might be a requirement though.
Just FYI #mirrorEnabler is working well for me on Venom 1.8.0. So GPE is not a requirement.

Finally got a chance to try this out using the enabler linked a few posts back and worked quite well on insertcoin-m8 sense 6. With landscape sense it's even full screen and everything I can use worked fine with sound (even ViPER4Android worked!) Nice find and great feature to have.
Guess you would want to try this new product
Hi Matt,
I suggest you try this new screen casting device available as a software download at Zoapi Hub.
Have to install the Hub software on Intel NUC box and connect it to TV. It supports simultaneous connections from different networks, like Wifi, Wifi-Ap, Ethernet, etc.,
Also has duel screen support with different windows on different TVs. It's also integrated to Logitech Tap device.

Well, this took me almost a full day to figure out, but I'd say it's worth it. I have compiled my first CM10 build, and BOY! It's running nice I'd say it's one of the smoothest ROMs I've ran. So far, I haven't had any flickering or anything on it, the Camera and Gallery works wonders. Bluetooth and Headphones are working, in call, streaming as well. I haven't tried tethering, so I don't know if that works, but I think it would.
I'm planning on maybe developing themes for this, or doing nightlies, if anybody is still interested in CM10. I like it because it is currently more stable than CM10.1.
I hope you guys enjoy this ROM and are able to give me input on how to expand my skill in developing
NEW UPDATE 1/29/13: Not sure if any changes happened. Sound for video recording seems alright in my opinion.

Mine works fine. In fact, I flashed the 4.2 keyboard because it's better.
I had one instance where the keyboard FCed, that happened when I tested a dirty flash. either reflash or wipe and reflash, and it should work fine. I haven't tried video recording on the ROM, but I'm going to compile a new one in a little bit, so I'll post that in a little while.

Well in case you're wondering, recording is fantastic. Very close to the volume of TW. This ROM has everything working. Also, got some nice screens of battery if anyone wants info about it.
Keep in mind my battery started at 71% when I first flashed this ROM. I can imagine a full battery would yield even better results.

Installed fine on mine.
Took me about 10 minutes to realize I didn't want to use it, but it installed and ran fine.
Having this exact same problem on my HOX aswell.
Might I ask what region you're trying to install from? (UK, US, etc?)
And also which region the last poser successfully installed from?
EDIT : It turns out it is only vailable in the US for now, but as a UK user like myself you can actually use the app by downloading it's .APK directly from this site : www (dot) androidpolice.com/2013/04/12/facebook-home-starts-showing-up-on-the-play-store-available-for-select-devices/
It seems to be working fine atm.
I can download and install the app, but Home says that my device is unsupported
I'm using CM 10.1, so that might be related to why it thinks I don't have a One X. Any ideas?

Thanks! It worked =)
I was trying from Mexico (My HOXL is the AT&T version, though)
Running CM 10.1 also and I would imagine thats why it isn't supported. Maybe on a sense based ROM out there it would work.
From what I've seen, it apparently does some checks (build.prop maybe) to ensure it's on an officially supported device. AOSP roms likely interfere with that.
I'm on stock rooted and can't even find it on the store. I have the new play store, so I don't know.

Looking at official videos, it seems like an overlay on the phone. Kind of like the HTC Facebook phone (cha cha or status, I think). Not a big fan, but if someone has a fully functional app running, can you let us know your thoughts.

I experimented with it a little yesterday and it really does take away a lot of the android feel -- No Widgets or anything its all Facebook. I do like chat-heads I think thats pretty awesome but you can get that with just Messenger so I just stuck with that. I was a little concerned about my privacy with facebook integrating my SMS as well. Call me paranoid but Facebook has been iffy about their privacy policies in the past...then again, I guess many of the web-based services I use aren't known well for protecting user privacy. In any event, I do think the launcher is smooth and is actually a cool concept, but complete removal of the widgets is what got me.

I designed SickSky for phones and not for tablets. The problem is if I allow it as compatible with tablets on Play, then a lot of people would not be happy with how it runs on a tablet (ie no landscape, no tablet-specific layouts etc). Anyhow it is still in beta for now.
Unfortunately the Play Store says it's incompatible with the HD2.
Says its incompatible with my Galaxy Nexus also.

From what I remember Slimbean has a non-standard DPI by default, so you will most likely get compatibility issues with a few apps on Google Play. I have however had quite a few reviews from Galaxy Nexus owners.

It has been a good couple years. For now I am going to focus on building panels to suite most needs. Next up will probably be a shortcuts panel. Not impossible to add widget panels later on, but going to stay clear from that for now since I wouldn't use that myself.

That's cool. When I saw that development ceased on Zeam's Google Play page, I downloaded ADW EX Launcher (I still hold the Zeam apk files). The one feature that these two have that no one else seems to include were the ability to hold a good number of apps in their dock drawers.

Domain name - picpac.me Cost me $9.99 a year.
Website - picpac.me . Hosted on strikingly.com for FREE! And just let Godaddy forward picpac.me to strinkingly (for now). Setting up the website only takes me 1 - 2 hours, including preparing the images for the website. Super easy for fast release.
----------------------------------- Why I develop PicPac Camera ------------------------------------------------
TRIO was inspired by Triptychs of Strangers by Adde Adesokan at Flickr. These photos are really cool.
See the last attached image
Then I extended it to support up-to-9 shots (PLUS mode) in case people want to share more.

It is actually on the play store (have modified the original post). But I am a new user so the system does not allow me to put links outside XDA
See below for Google Play Store link:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.picpac
If you install the apk, please kindly uninstall it and use the store. You know why
The apk is for people who live in regions without Play Store access. Haha. It is also a requirement for app review at XDA.

Sorry to hear that, and thanks for the heads up.
I have already got NOT-WORKING feedback from users of Droid DNA, PantechP8010, and Note 2.
This is bad but it is good for a first-time developer like me to realize how important it is to test on more devices...
I tested it on Nexus 4, and a very old HTC Desire.
Can anyone give me some suggestions on this? Any online services you can recommend?
Thank you all!
TESTING..!!

I found a stupid and fatal mistake. I added "mCamera.enableShutterSound(true); " (for API 17 or above, i.e. OS 4.2+) in my last revision, and the eclipse/Lint did not give me warning or errors. MY MISTAKE.
Have updated the apk and attach it here (the google play store takes hours to update...)
Can anyone help me to further test it. I think there may still be some out-of-memory error for some devices, but fingers crossed fingers-crossed:
Thank you all.
