Miracast Unable to Connect After Editing Build.prop - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

I edited my build.prop successfully to allow it to connect to miracast displays. However trying to connect to my TV or Roku it fails. I had this feature work in my previous phone work just fine so I'm pretty sure its the phone. All I did with it so far is root the phone and make the edit.
Does this work for anyone else? Can this be troubleshooted?

Also wondering if a solution has been found to this. I've read about the build.prop solution and am wondering if it's successful or not?

This is a known issue and will take a DEV a little work to get the fix. I would suspect a framework mod... Last I knew @Mentalmuso was aware and hoping he includes this feature on his MOD work for the pixel.

+1 for Miracast support! I've done the build.prop edit, and it indeed does enable the checkbox "Enable Wireless Display". It sees and attempts to pair to my Belkin Miracast device. The Belkin device begins the connections and then disconnects, and nothing more happens.
If someone will message me and tell me what to gather, I can provide any logs you require. Just send me instructions to obtain. I really really really want this to work!

Man I hope he can! My smart tv has Miracast built in so I could easily throw my screen on there with my LG V20. Now I would need to buy a Chromecast to mirror? Not cool, Google. I wish my TV had Chromecast built in...

Interesting Mouse Issues (left is right/up is down)

I recently discovered that NOW when I use a mouse, up is down and left is right... Anyone else see this yet?
I know for a fact that it used to work just fine and was wondering if someone *may* know what may have caused this. Here are the facts so far:
Identical results with wireless usb, wired usb, Bluetooth, mouse by itself and one integrated with keyboard
Running Vegan5
Clemsyn's KERNEL
ChengLu's dataloop patch
SW2's Blue theme (older version)
Swype hack (edited build.prop)
Just wondering for those that are a little deeper into this where the code / source files / ect may be that might have gotten changed that could have caused this and if they is an easy way to get it back without a full wipe.
I have backup / restored but get the same result. Just looking for a few options before I start from scratch again.
Thanks for any insight.

The first thing I would check is the kernel - reflash that (to stock, or a different one) and see if it works correctly. If that doesn't work let us know and we can try to dig deeper...
Does it do the same thing when you flip the tablet upside-down?

I believe that this is due to the g-sensor fix that is included in Vegan. If you un-install that fix it will mess up your g-sensor but should fix the mouse 'issue'.
Makes sense.
I plugged a wireless usb mouse in last night and got basically the same results. Thought i had done something wrong, glad i searched and found this thread. Any chance someone could look at this please ?
Yeah, same here with Vegan beta 5.1
Don't want to mess up G se sorry because I have a lot of games that require it to work. But mouse being screwy is just as bad because I like to dock this thing and HDMI it to the 55 including flatscreen and use my Zippy keyboard/trackball combo to watch a movie or two now and then.
It is a "lose / lose" situation I think.

My bluetooth mouse is working fine on tnt 4.1.0
Same Results here w/VEGAn5.1 using Wireless USB mouse.
Crossed signals?
Well... I'm glad to know it's not just me but sorry to hear we think it's the may be the g sensor fix.
If anyone has or can find an 'undo' for it I'd be willing to test. I dont use the tab for games but I need the mouse for rdp work.
Thanks for all the input do far!

[Q] WiFi Hotspot on Windows Phone 7

I know this have been asked many times before but is there any chances we can get a Wifi Hotspot app for WP7?
Is it even possible with the actual version? Maybe we will have to wait until Mango?
I know you guys hate this kind of question but i'm on this forum for more then 1 year i've never created a topic. Always searched and found what i wanted to know...
Even if the app is not free i really don't care cause it's essential for me...
Thanks in advance
Atomos
Sorry for my english
I'm dreaming for one too...
currently only USB tethering is possible, not even sure if all devices are supported
mango should make it possible... but not offical
It mean i'll have to wait until october...
Well i am shure i saw somewhere a Dev who said that it was actually possible with the actual tools to create such app...
Thanks for the reply by the way
I got a frustrating behavior from my phone. I created a WiFi hotspot on my Laptop on Windows 7. The hotspot enabled other phones to connect to internet via my wired connection on laptop. The frustrating part is ONLY WINDOWS PHONE 7 DEVICES were not able to detect the hotspot !!!!!
With the developer beta out, is there any new information regarding wifi hotspot capabilities for WP7?

I have the HTC Arrive and I can tell you that thus far usb tethering does not work.
The devices that do work do not have a qwerty keyboard so it may be only a line or 2 of code needs to be added to the xap to make it function like it does for everyone else, or it may be something else. The device appears to dial out though so I believe this problem is definitely fixable with some help.
DVFN the creator of df router also said the code for wireless tethering is in the original diagnostic app, unfortunately because some people erased the app and can now no longer connect to zune they started to complain. Because of this I haven't even gotten a response from df and he probably left the community

[Resolved] [Q] Bluetooth Will not connect to gps on SII i777? (AOKP)

Hey all, this is my first post so if I'm doing something wrong here with posting please help me out.
I have recently flashed AOKP Build 36 onto my Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 (AT&T), and it works pretty great. It doesn't however connect to my car GPS that I hook it up to to play some tunes. I connect via bluetooth.
Heres what happens:
I go into the settings and click bluetooth. It shows me that my car stereo is there and connectable. I click it. It presses for a hot second, and then nothing happens. If I press it a few more times, it states that I have an invalid PIN to connect to it. Now I've been told that when I click on it, it should ask me for the PIN. It doesnt, it just does the above. I am brand new to ICS so perhaps I'm missing some setting somewhere.
So, on to the questions:
Is there a different place to enter the PIN before clicking on it?
Could this be a bug with the rom?
How do I fix it?
Thanks in advanced, you guys rock!
Additional info:
I got the rom from the samsung2root website. I cannot post links yet but hopefully its not to hard to find.
I have heard there are newer builds, but I am not sure they are available for my phone. The official AOKP website doesnt even list my phone as supported.
Just taking a guess here so don't crucify me if don't work have you tried changing the bluetooth settings as you're device might be on invisible check if it's disabled.

Lol, no its a good thought. I clicked on the make device discoverable button before trying to connect a few of the times, it didn't seem to help.
Alright, I figured it out. My car stereo was the issue. I had to re add my phone to the devices list. It thought with the new rom and all that it was a different phone.
Thanks anyway though guys!

[Q] Permissive?

Sorry I'm very to new all this stuff. I barely managed to root my Note Pro 12.2 a month or 2 ago, even then I did manage lose all my data.
But anyways, I recently got an OTG cable to plug my Xbox One controller into my Note Pro, and it seems to work fine when I pair it up with JoystickCenter (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoygolddemo&hl=en)
However some apps don't support controllers, but JoystickCenter has a Touch Emulation feature. When I try to enable it I get an error Can't access dev/uinput
I looked into this and found some info on it - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/pokes-android-apps/sME_vV9pPcE/K-eTQFY_TpMJ
Which led me to this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53343683
I tried everything there, but I still believe SELinux is in Enforce mode :\
So I was wondering about the third fix listed, about installing a custom kernal.
I do see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772908
I would be willing to attempt (It does say Knoxless, so I would assume it would fix my issue I'm having?) however I have no idea how to flash ROMs.
I looked up some guides about recovery mode and bootloaders, but I still have no idea what I'm doing.
I have seen some recent posts about not enough development for the NP 12.2, but I did find this http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/224
Maybe some people who know what they are talking about could set me straight on all this, and if it's possible for me to get around my issue?
Thanks in advance
The ROM you link to contains the stock kernel & won't get you any further forward. http://graemehill.ca/turning-a-galaxy-note-pro-into-a-linux-laptop/ seems to be the most promising source of advice I've found so far. If you have the same device as the author you can use the kernel he compiled. Unfortunately I don't think I do & am wary of trying to set up my own build environment being fairly comprehensively clueless, so I'm hoping someone with at least some experience will pick this up.
Do post back here if you find a solution. I'm after a permissive kernel for the same reason you describe.

Can I disable Throw™ without root?

I tried to disable it via App settings, but was unable to. is there any other way? Because I suspect it interferring with my bluetooth connected moto360.
Yes you can, I wrote a post about it on the other bluetooth thread here (and also on reddit [1]). I also use an android watch (LG Urbane), and before turning off Throw, the bluetooth was super flaky, and it also failed to connect to my car.

Thank you! I'm looking into it
Hey guys, sorry to re-awaken old thread... do you know if this is possible at all without root?
From the reddit link in the post before yours:
> Anyway, you don't need to root, but you'll need to get the adb tool
Now whether you can manage it is another question entirely...
Sorry, I totally posted in the wrong thread there... was meaning to post in the disabling HDCP thread lol
I had to reset my phone. New firmware and no longer able to hide using adb... This did the trick for me. I guess I have to reset again, then update firmware?
Use the bluetoth settings
You can also stop Throw from starting by just going into Bluetooth settings for the device and unchecking contacts and phone and just leaving media on.
It might work with phone on too I haven't tried but this works fine just for music on my BT speaker.
No more connecting then Throw interfering and loppong off the connection a second or two later.
