Hi, XDA.
I have a old s4 with a brocken lcd and I was wandering if I could use it as a chromecast or an android tv os rom. Youtube cast is what I'm looking for.
Hi !
You may be able to use the cast feature from your device but for this you must be able to have a working touch screen
Cheers !

Hello, first of all.
It's been a long time since I have visited this place, so excuse me please if I missed a similar thread. I have searched for it.
My question is if it this possible to turn my old Motorola XT 720 into an Android TV box (i.e. Chromecast or similar).
I have tried CheapCast app that only crashed when opening YouTube. This phone has a HDMI port and I assumed it can connect through it to my Philips TV, which is not a smart TV, but a regular HD TV.
The only connection I was able to create was the built-in version of media gallery from phone which has the option to display the pictures from phone on TV screen (proving there is a working connection at least).

This should be possible as the device has the ability to use another display. I would recommend using something like Tablet Remote or other similar apps on the Play store so instead of using the device as a chrome cast you can use it as a full media center device connected to your TV. By using one of these apps you would play videos directly through your device instead of "casting" them. This should hopefully work arround the issue of apps like CheapCast crashing.
Hope I could help and good luck
Thank you, Tablet Remote works good between the 2 Android phones. Still working on it.
I am also working on this route, trying to make use of my screen-broken Xperia Z. However apart from using as mediacenter with kodi, it would be nice if I could properly emulate chromecast. I would love to see a nexus android TV Rom being able to drive my phone, is anybody working on that?

Hey Guys,
I have been trying to figure out a way to cast any webpage from my phone to my smart tv. I know I can mirror my screen but I want to cast just the webpage. I don't have a chromecast but a VU smart tv : Vu 140 cm (55") Full HD Smart LED TV 55UH8475.
Hello, I have a samsung smart tv and dedicated camera for that: SAMSUNG CY-STC1100. The skype application used to run on the TV, but it has lost support.
I plan to buy the H96 Pro tv dongle (android) and my question is if the camera connected to it will handle that?
After smart tv stopped supporting skype I found older version of skype(for various TV series) with drivers(inter alia to camera) which was installed from a pendrive and this worked wonderfully, but now it doesn't work. If you don't know the solution, could you recommend a camera that works on the android box?
Hi
I have a P40 pro running on normal HMS. I tried to screen cast it on my Philips TV running on android with inbuild chromecast.
My phone could not find my TV. I have checked all the settings and it is as it should be. It works normal with my old P20 pro (of course on a GMS).
So I couldnot use the "wireless projection" or mirror my screen on my TV.
I have also tried third party apps but they often come with a lot of bugs and bad cast quality.
Interestingly though, in youtube vanced the option of linking to TV works and it could cast as normal. But I want to cast other applications as well through mirroring the screen.
Does anyone know a solution for this?
Thank you in advance
