[Q] Can a Note 10.1 (GT-N8000) stream Miracast?

Hi, I've been thinking about this subject for a long time and the available information is sparse and non-consistent. On top of that numerous wireless standards are named confusingly and do not create a clear picture of what this device is capable of.
So I saw my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has a feature called AllShare Cast (in Settings). For that to function you need a Samsung AllShare Cast dongle on your TV/PC, which wouldn't be a very satisfying option for me, as I'd rather have something brand-agnostic so any new device could hook up.
So I heard about this Miracast standard, that would allow certain devices to connect to Miracast capable hardware, no matter which brand they were from. So I tried looking up whether the Galaxy Note 10.1 would ever support Miracast, and so far, my search has come up only with the WiFi Alliance certificates that underline that the Galaxy Note 10.1 does not have the Miracast Source certificate, which for example the Samsung Galaxy S3 does have.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000)
Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300)
But a few forum posts I've come across claim that AllShare Cast is built on top of Miracast, suggesting that these two implementations might be compatible. That's a confusing statement in the best and a misleading statement in the worst case. Is there any way that the hardware of the Galaxy Note 10.1 would be usable to send Miracast? Like by a custom kernel or ROM, an OTA update etc? Or is this manifestly impossible due to differences in hardware?

nope it doesnt!
Intel WiDi is also Miracast based. And you can connect any Upnp DLNA Player to a WiDi Server.
But couldnt get that running with my Note.
Maybe Allsharecast only works via WiFi Direct?

Miracast is based on WiFi Direct not Upnp, and Intel widi have some issued that will be fixed via driver update, if you want to connect your note to Upnp don't use allshare cast but use the normal all share application, that is for now till the drivers are fixed, but onething for sure is that note10.1 is on the list of miracast certified devices

Could you provide me with a list that mentions the Note 10.1?
I only find a press release (link) stating the following:
"As a leader in N-screen technology, Samsung has introduced AllShare Cast (based on Miracast), which is incorporated into most of Samsung's high-end smart mobile devices including the GALAXY S III, GALAXY Note 10.1, and GALAXY Note II, " said Hankil Yoon, Senior Vice President of Product Strategy Team, Samsung's Mobile Communication Business. "We will continue to support the program, and plan to offer more Miracast-certified devices to our customers going forward."
But then if you watch the two links in my first post (which link to the WiFi Alliance certificates of these devices), you see they state that the Samsung Galaxy S3 has Miracast Source certification, where the Galaxy Note 10.1 doesn't make any mention of it. Perhaps this still can be added in a future review of the hardware.
I just looked up the Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100) on the WiFi Alliance product certification page, sorted to only show Samsung products, it too, doesn't list Miracast Source as a certified option.
Here's a list of all "officially" certified Miracast devices.
Here's another XDA post outlining success with the SGS3 but faillure with a Note II.

Does Jellybean 4.2 support Miracast?

I just purchased a Samsung Tab 2 7 and am hoping to get Miracast capabilities.

While your enthusiasm is laudable, the fact that only 1 compatible adapter for television makes your question irrelevant give it another year, at which point more consumer products are available, and you'll want a new tablet anyhow

To end this question, yes android 4.2 support Miracast capabilities but not for our device. it just for nexus 4.

Between this and the TF700 for a purchase

knocked out the kindle because of problems iwth unlocking and a lot of consensus of it NOT having a display that's better than tha Tab 2 and a lot of I/O issues with the Asus.
What would you guys say is the main problems for the galaxy tab 2 10.1? For someone who plans on immediately rooting and AOSPing a Tab 2 10.1? I plan on streaming HD movies and TV SHows during bedtime from my media server and for reading the Economist Kindle. I'm an intern pending a job at the end so I can't spend $500+ for a tablet.
My current android device is a very smooth and customized (look at my signature) Galaxy S3. I never keep stock bloatware

well it is your choice you can go to a retailer and check out the device !! but also you can go for the nexus 10 a very nice competier

TF700 maybe a good choice, or Galaxy Tab3 8.0 ?

Most definitively the Note. Samsung's Note tablets are their premium class ones. The Tab tablets are the middle-to-low range ones (and really aren't great at all).
Here is a comparison table, if you want a breakdown on specs: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/co...msung-Galaxy-Tab-3-10.1-inch/phones/8139,7870
You'll notice that the Note 10.1 2014 Edition far outshines the latest Tab 3. It has a far better processor, has better battery life, a far better screen, a better camera, offers premium software not available in the Tab, and of course, has the fantastic S-pen that everyone raves about. It also has better long-term use, as Samsung updates its flagship models far more often than their non-flagship models.
If you want the best Android tablet (and arguably the best tablet in general), the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition is hands-down the one for you.
If you're looking for a middle-to-low end device, I would not recommend a Galaxy Tab but rather something from another company.
If you don't care for S-pen features, and just want a tablet for entertainment, running stock android, then I'd recommend a Nexus - either the 7" or the upcoming 10" tablet.

[Completed] SG Tab 4 10.1 Screen mirror to LG smartshare?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 that I'd like to mirror to my LG Smart TV with Smartshare. My LG G3 does it easily as both devices have Smartshare. However, the LG TV is not found in the Samsung's scan for devices. Is mirroring possible between these devices as they are?
The answers I've found all say that a dongle or some hardware is necessary. However, all these responses are several years old and reference Android 4. My Tab is on 5.0.2. Is there some app or work around that would make these two units talk with out hardware?
