I am using Uniporn ICS and trying to run an app from my cable company (Time Warner in upstate NY) the app has a feature to let me watch live tv on the phone if using ICS but when I try to use that feature it tells me that rooted phones are not supported. Anyone have a clue as to how to get around that issue?
There's a temp unroot function in the super user app...just make sure you have thewest version from playstore

Sorry, was worth a shot :/, I wonder what they have against rooted phones....I mean even the att bloat works on a rooted phone, as well as the samsung bloat...so if the manufacturer and the carrier don't block there apps from rooted phones...then why should a cable company? I would send the devs an email and complain...hell ill download the app and complain myself
What twc app is it?

Just updated to the LJ02 firmware on my AllShare Cast Dongle and have noticed a few improvements
Video and Audio quality are noticeably improved
I no longer have to reset the dongle in order to re-connect. However I still have to reboot the phone before connecting.
I have not tested this myself, but according to Steve Kondik (Cyanogen), the update makes the dongle compatible with 4.2 miracast.
Only negative is that I feel like there might be a slight increase in lag.
Here are the steps to update the firmware on your AllShare Cast Dongle.
To install this update you're phone must be running a TouchWiz ROM with AllShare Cast. It appears that Verizon is blocking the update (of course) so you will need to follow either of the following to update.
You can download the AllShare Cast update apk.
OR
You can modify your build.prop. I set mine to the Sprint S3 and it worked no problem.
Modifying your build.prop requires root access. As always, I recommend running a Nandroid backup of your system partition before modifying your build.prop.
And of course, I'm not responsible for any damage you do to your phone/dongle from following my guide.
Backup your build.prop file (system/build.prop).
Modify your build.prop to the below values (I use build.prop editor)
ro.product.model=SPH-L710
ro.product.name=d2spr
ro.product.device=d2spr
Reboot your device
Download the AllShare Cast update from the Google Play store.
Connect your phone to your AllShare Cast Dongle and accept that you wish to install the update.
Restore your build.prop file or manually set it to the following:
ro.product.model=SCH-I535
ro.product.name=d2vzw
ro.product.device=d2vzw
You may need to reboot your phone in order to connect to the dongle after the update installs.
I hope this helps somebody out there. Good luck and enjoy your new firmware!
just uploaded the update without changing my bulid.prop but i would be surprised if verizon was blocking it..... they block everything!!!!!
second that you were right it was the allshare cast update not the dongle update what!!!! the hell why is verizon blocking this...
Do people like this more than the MHL adaptor? Going to buy one of them tonight.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either. It probably has something to do with their approval process is my guess.

Up to this point I think the attitude has been more "wait-and-see" with Miracast. It still is a little buggy, but I am really liking it so far. Being able to watch content on my TV from my phone without wires is a real game changer imo. For example, a couple weeks back my wife and I wanted to watch Lord of the Rings in order to get psyched up for The Hobbit. I have all three movies on my PC, so I was able to stream them to my phone via DLNA and watch them on the TV with AllShare Cast. It was a real round-about way to watch them, but it worked great!

Any chance someone could rip the Allshare S/W Update APK and post it? Want to try running it from the Nexus 4 but not able to get it from the market.
can someone please post the the file I can't download it all. I need the .apk
I will try to do this, but it is likely I won't be able to get to it for a few days.

As far as I know, there is no way to do this. You will need a Samsung device that has AllShare Cast.

Only downside is streaming video from xfinity, and HBO GO, and and Netflix is out of sync. Using the MHL adapter works best. The only good thing I found the hub was good for was movies already on my phone. At least those movies sync.

I noticed that also.... But on my phone when I plug in the mhl adapter xfinity the doesn't work.....

I pushed the wfdbroker to my system app folder and rebooted, but now when I try to connect, the dongle sw update force closes and the tv is stuck on the connecting screen.
If you have come across this thread I am sure you will know what Quickflix is. Now you would probably also know that the Android app is only available on the Samsung App store (so that's ONLY on Samsung devices). Fortunately, my mother bought a Note 10.1 and I downloaded the .apk, ripped it and then popped it into Dropbox and installed it on my Nexus 10. Works like a charm. Not sure how this would work on devices with different form factors but it wont hurt to try.
Below is the APK. Enjoy.
Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qucbwmslbzen9p4/com.quickflix.library.apk
Google Drive: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-NKfy4HB-MSTVRzeDI3RU5MeWs/edit
4 shared: http://www.4shared.com/android/UcTOkVjb/comquickflixlibrary.html
Please post below your experience with it on your Device and I'll try keep a list of working devices.
NOTE: Quickflix is a PAID service. It costs $15 a month, excluding new releases.
Working Devices:
All Samsung Devices (download on Samsung App store)
Nexus 10
Its a subscription service though right?

Yeah but you can get a 14 day trial to start with, and if you buy a qualifying Samsung device you get 3 months free.
quickflix app
Thanks for the great work, I've been hastling Quickflix to release and app for all Android devices. I can confirm that it runs on both the Asus TF300 and Nexus 7 running stock firmware and jellybean. The only thing I could fault is the volume is low on the TF300. If you have the fix for this it would be amazing.
Keep up the great work
Works on my non-rooted G7.
Successfully installed it on my Rooted Acro S, but when I tried to play a video, the app checks for root and comes up with a message "Videos will not play on rooted devices"
((
If you go here you get a free 2 months.

I use Root Cloak and that works for a lot of things but this isn't one of them.
Does anyone know what Quickflix actually looks for? That way we can block it in RootCloak and it will work.
And BTW, its $10 a month for streaming only

Have you tried the hiddenroot apk? There is a module for this too on xposed framework.Give it a try! Good look!:fingers-crossed:
Thanks all, but apparently QuickFlix just released a new version of the software that now works on everything! I have been using it for the last 4 days and it is great! No more need to hide the root and it is a legit app off the Play Store!
Thanks for the suggestions anyway

Hey, I just got my SW2 after eyeballing it for a while. Well, the problem is, after connecting to my phone, I install apps on my phone using SmartConnect, but they never appear on the watch. Or, they do, but are greyed out. Help?! Please?
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk
You would need this as well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.smartconnect.smartwatch2
But make sure you've paired the watch to the phone also.
So what you need is pairing, smart connect app, smart watch 2 app
Okay, I got it setup. Somehow it stopped installing apps along the way.. But now here's my next problem...
It doesn't sync with my phone? When I go to the slideshow app, it never loads my photos, it just shows loading bars and then closes. Same with the camera. Same with music. All of it just does the bar thing and then shuts..

It'd be great if someone could help me with this, I seem to have narrowed it down.
It doesn't sync to my device. It will for like, five seconds of being connected, but then it'll stop. Am I doing something wrong?

You probably have bluetooth issues between SW2 and your LG.

My understanding is that it's a server side switch, no update required. I think they may have jumped the gun with the announcement last week since I've heard very few reports of assistant becoming available not only on the S7/S7 Edge, but even other marshmallow/nougat devices as of yet.
Does the region of your phone affect on receiving an update? Or only the interface language?
You can get Google Assistant by downloading Lucky Patcher and patching the Google App to have Google Assistant enabled. Fully functioning thank you to the patch modder. Give it a go! It worked for me, but I prefer Google Now as the screen search is so handy and I've become fixed to it.
Good luck and let me know if you have troubles with the app!

I tried without root. Unsuccessful. "Pattern not found! or patch is already applied?!"
Maybe because i have signed up to a beta testing of google application? Its v.6.14.14.21.arm64 now.
I'm sorry for assuming you guys had root. I believe so that it requires root to modify the odex

It's server side, per Google themselves. Reports today are that the rollout has been accelerated, but still nothing for me though there are lots more reports of folks who have gotten it last night/today.
Finally i got it.
After an update of google app XD.
Thank you.

I have it on my stock (not rooted) Verizon Wireless S7. It came over with the Nougat update, or shortly thereafter. So far I don't like it. But that is probably more about unfamiliarity than anything.

Updated Google app and running the correct Google services framework, but no Assistant
I tried it with Google Allo and didn't like it there so not really fussed, but wonder why it hasn't activated for me
EDIT -Changed primary system language to US and it worked
Also assistant cant identify songs yet.
Thats strange. Why google can not just copy program code from google now?

Yeah, i had assistant on my s7 edge but after samsung replace motherboard which obviously factory reset my phone i can't get it any more.... Beta tester for both play services and Google app....
