[Q] Android Device as Miracast Reciever

Hi there!
I have a question about Miracast compatibility:
As far as I know Miracast Streaming is software related. So majority of 4.2.2+ phones can stream the display. I wonder if it is possible that all the devices act as recievers too?
What I mean is.. if you have an Android TV Box, can you make it work as Miracast reciever so I could stream my android phone to that Android TV Box?
I am looking at some Android Boxes HERE and I see that only THIS ONE "officialy" supports Miracast (as reciever). Is it really the only one with Miracast capability?
Thank you for your time in advance!
I've searched the forum for an answer with no luck. I posted it in Android Q&A with no luck. Maybe I'll have some luck over here since our Nexus 5 supports Miracast.
Already posted my question HERE.

anyone?

I have a Vizio Co-Star (Coaster?) and it will not support Miracast at all.
Android TV boxes run older versions of Android on hardware that requires separate development from other Android devices. There is little or no Dev support for any of them and Google seems to have pretty much abandoned them. There was a rumor that Google TV boxes would get the Chromecast abilities via software update, but that hasn't happened.
I'd look into those cheap Android HDMI dongles if I were you, instead of Google TV devices.

[Completed] [Q] Anyone seen one that works?

I have been trying without success to identify a good adapter to allow for micro USB charge and 3.5mm stereo audio feed through an apple 30 pin female. There are many offers but none that work as promised by seller. If anyone has a recommendation I would be grateful. Most offers look like included image.
Thanks.

[Completed] Cello T1144 Need help with ROM

Hello,
Recently I bought a tablet Cello T1144 v2 through ebay and it does not work properly. I can not connect to a wireless network. I try to turn the wireless settings on and see how the slide moves to "ON" and immediately turns "OFF". Also its sometimes reboots randomly. Before I decide that this is hardware issue, I want to reinstall Android, but I cant find ROM for this tablet.
I tried to contact Cello support and asked, but no luck -- they only said that I can send them tablet and they will reinstall it for charge. But it is very non economical for me. Maybe somebody had this tablet or can provide some useful links where I can find ROM? I would be grateful for any information about ROM for this tablet

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
I'm sorry to hear about your trouble but we cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist There is no forum specifically for Cello devices at this time but I suggest that you ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. Since your device is relatively uncommon, please be patient and give the experts plenty of time to respond.
Good luck!

[Completed] Game controller, what works?

I can't find a specific section to post this in, I thought this would be the best place for help.
I have a ASUS Zenfone 2 rooted and I want to use a controller for emulators and games etc, I've heard numerous answers but they all vary. I have an Xbox One controller and a wireless 360 controller, I've plugged them into a OTG cable and they didn't work. I don't want to spend too much and I can buy a second-hand wired 360 controller if they work.
