As many have asked about this, I am writing this tutorial. It is a simple trick. But for that you need to root your device or atleast have TWRP recovery installed. I am going to give two methods, if first simpler method does not work (it does not for me), then go to second.
If you know how to edit build.prop, then just do this, add 3 lines given below:
Code:
ro.hdmi.enable=true
ro.hdmi.mirror.enable=true
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
If you have any issues see method 2.
If you don't know what is build.prop don't worry, I will say steps.
Method 1
This method involves directly editing the build.prop using es file explorer.
Download ES File Explorer from play store
Enable "Root Explorer" in ES and give root permission. Click the "Root Explorer" and then "mount R/W" and then mount system "RW".
Now click "device" in ES and then go to "system" folder, you will find a file named "build.prop".
Open that file in ES note editor which is already installed by ES. Click pencil icon to edit.
Scroll to last and then add the 3 lines I mentioned in this thread and save the file.
Now simply exit the app and restart your device.
Now open settings then display then cast, click 3 dots on top right and enable Wireless Display.
Method 2
As I seen in many phone, the build.prop file restores to original during reboot, which is causing the method 1 to not work, so use this method to to do the edit from TWRP file manager. This method worked perfectly in my phone. See steps below:
Follow till 3rd step in method 1 and just copy the file "build.prop" to Internal storage.
Now edit the copied file in internal storage as mentioned in 4th and 5th step of method 1 by adding 3 lines.
Reboot to twrp recovery, you may use the app named Quick Reboot [ROOT] from play store.
Now in TWRP go to Advanced and then choose file manager.
Scroll down and go to the folder "sdcard" that is your internal storage. Now click the build.prop file there and choose copy.
Now go to system folder and copy/paste the file.
Reboot to android. Now do 7th step in method 1.
Screen cast can be enabled by magisk too. See this https://www.xda-developers.com/magi...iracast-and-tethering-and-disable-adb-notify/
For me that did not work so I myself made magisk module zip. Please check the attachment. Just download and install from magisk or twrp. It is tested to work in magisk 15.0+
Note this method may work in other phones too, but I don't have those phones with me. I have received many messages asking how to do this, so I am making this to help all of them.
Thanks to Dhruv_Agarwal in Telegram for giving me the 3 lines of code.

Hi !
If I flash the attached file "screen cast enabler.zip", by adb , will that work for me? I have lenovo k8 plus oreo, latest version. (Unrooted, but still the bootloader is unlocked)
I need your help, I successfully rooted my LG Velvet 5G with TWRP and Magisk. Now I want to edit files with a root browser / file manager. But it doesn't work with a single file browser despite root rights! If I want to change xml files, it does not work in spite of the set write and read rights! Even if I extract the XML and edit it on the PC and then want to insert it back into the system, it is there, but it is then empty. Is there still write protection in spite of root? It's Android 10. Please help me. best regards
The partition where the files you want to operate on as 1st thing of all things must be mounted as RW.
Many thanks for the answer. How do I install the source code (kernel) I haven't done it yet. can it be because of that? mount as rw is not successful. Here are the instructions, did I forget something? Https: //forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-3-5-0-caymanlm-lm-g900em-unofficial-twrp-for-lg-velvet-5g. 4193275 /
Hello, I am trying to modify my cell phone "samsung galaxy s6" with android 11 "lineage 19.1 unofficial", twrp and magisk installed, the root is working, I have modified several files with a magisk module that I am doing, the file that I want to modify is "/sys /kernel/debug/sched_features" but I can't. It has permissions of 666 and it is the root owner. Is there any way to edit it? . i was thinking of editing twrp backup but i dont know how to unpack the *.win file
You have root in TWRP, so what's the problem?
twrp does not save changes

What are you doing?
I create a backup with zip I open it in notepad++ without decompressing it I edit it I give it save the 7zip it asks me if I want to update the file I put it if I put it on the cell phone and flash it I restart the cell I check the changes and nothing happens
You can change the contents of the file directly in the TWRP terminal while keeping the ownership of the file (chown) and its permissions (chmod)?

Make sure the partition where the mentioned file should be copied onto is mounted as RW.
This is my first time rooting my phone (tried rooting an o+ phone but couldn't unlock the bootloader) and I want to know how to my get phone's firmware. I tried using the Samsung Firmware Downloader but it won't accept my model and region.
I've tried using SuperSu to root but Root Checker says root access wasn't properly installed. What do I do now? Can I download a different firmware from a different site and is it safe? Does showing my pda code safe?
Edit: Forgot to mention I've already flashed TWRP.
Excuse me but what is your region and model number

Never mind, I manage to download the firmware and root my phone thanks to Samsung Downloader. I wasn't able to download it at first because I keep using XXU (the one I saw in *#1234#, samsung firmware) as my region but it was actually XTC (I checked Software information in the About Phone).
Ok
if twrp is installed
root the phone with magisk
My next problem is changing the /system/ into read/write. I can't access build.prop. Haven't tried using adbd insecure but I have a feeling it won't work with Android 13. I'm currently trying to find the flashable zip from this thread to convert my /system/ into read/write.

first root your device
then use mt manager to access build.prop file
i tested this in my sm-t585 with lineage os custom rom

Accessing the build.prop file was not the problem, I can access it with any app (build.prop file, root explorer, etc..). My problem is whatever change I did to the build.prop file will not be saved since I don't have read/write access.

as i said
use mt manager to save changes in build.prop
Since our system is F2FS you can't modify system it stays RO you can make a magisk module yourself to modify build prop also don't use supersu rooting is very easy just flash twrp then flash magisk. I'm making a custom rom which I'm hoping to release soon that's ext4 but I'm limited by time and the recent events from where I live so I can't give a ETA
Hi all,
How do I use a terminal app to change the permissions of system file "/system/media/audio/ringtones" to write enabled.
I'm a complete noob so all steps would be appreciated, even if its something well known.
Galaxy A22 Plus
Running Android 13
Rooted, has Majik and Termux (Terminal)
I've found it here once but cant seem to find the thread again
you don't change anything on systemless-root

Yes, but what do you really want?
If you want to add a custom ringtone, just put it in /sdcard/Ringtones
Worked great Thanks
