Is there anyway way at all to mirror out to a tv? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway way at all to mirror out to a tv? I want to see what's on my nexus on my TV. I have been reading for almost 3 hours doesn't look like you can. Please help. I know Samsung cords dont work because n7 doesn't support mhl at all, miracast probably won't happen to us at least any time soon, nexus q will only stream your videos and not mirror whats on ur screen, and there's some thing pi rasp idk exactly what's its called. Is there anything that works? Sorry there's probably a thread about this I scrolled down for 10 mins and didn't find one. I will update my first post with any findings to help anyone easier.
Thanks everyone!

too much trouble for me to do though

There is if you have an AppleTV, it's called AppleTV Air Play Media Player by Zappotv and it's in the Google Play Store. It's pretty cool it uses Apple's Air Play protocol to send your Nexus screen's picture or video to your big screen TV.

Would love to, be on the same "page" as my US friends.

Smartshare apk (up to date ]

OK I've spent most of the day looking into this with minimal success.
As there are some great sales on today I've been and got an lg smart TV.
To get the nexus 4 to connect I need the smartshare app but as I live in the UK it says it's not available over here yet :thumbdown:.
So I've been searching on XDA today and found the smartshare apk and installed it but it won't open .
Can it work any help much appreciated.

yea the lg tv remote app works well but that's all it is - a remote . . the smartshare app supposed to let you just share whatever from your phone to your tv i was just tryna play some music on my phone to it but i just ended up connecting it to my home theater so its cool i guess

interesting i never even heard of those but i'll try it out later today. Thanks !
Bubbleupnp is also another good one. Will let your phone be either a remote choosing streams from a dlna server to a dlna receiver. Or as a server itself stemming phone content to a receiver

What can I do to love my N7 again?

Need some ideas guys! My N7 was my baby got it on release day no defects was over the moon. Used it everyday. I've got my N4 now. And my tablet seems to be somewhat unloved. Flashing ROMs doesn't really help tried that. Maybe games and fun apps? please suggest!

Find a ROM that's really smooth and install trinity kernel.
Try the paranoid android rom, tablet mode makes it so much better
Hook up a couple PS3 Controllers to it and play Mario Kart? Connect it to you car via Bluetooth, Tape Deck. Use it as your car stereo (Fancy). Use it to read a book. Draw a picture! Play Pokemon! Theme it out to the season. Put it in your pocket all day, and pull it out and pretend to make a call on it!
Or you could sell it to me for say....10 bucks and I pay shipping lol.
Or better yet just gimee your n4 ,problem solved.

[Q] TV Out?

I do a lot of YouTube commentary while playing games and would like to try a Nova 3 or Modern Combat 4 walkthrough, just for sng's as nobody seems to be doing it for android games too much. I've been using BBQ screen with my PC and the framerates are good enough to consider using it, but the quality is awful at low settings (naturally) and anything higher than around 65 drops frames below 20fps on the receiver side and still looks really dodgy. Reading up on the subject of MHL and there is apparently no support for this on the RAZR m. What about the 3.5 mm RCA adapters? Or is MHL actually supported? Is there any other way of recording my screen and retaining half decent quality and framerate without theuse of a camera pointed at my screen? ZScreen and screen cast also don't work
There isn't any way to do TV out on the RAZR M (other than VNC)
Maybe someone will adapt screen sharing on chromecast.

And VNC is pretty much a slideshow. As far as I know chromecast already has screen sharing. Like, isn't that the point of the thing? Lol

My bad, the word I was looking for was device mirroring. All that the chromecast does (at the moment) is stream videos from YouTube, content from your Google account and Netflix. All your phone does is serve as the remote control.

Ah I see. Maybe if that becomes a thing I'll be more inclined to take a look at a chromecast
I had HDMI out on my prior device, and I used a grand total of one time in the phone's 2+ years of usage.
it's nice to have, but I never needed it, as other, easier options were available.

Miracast dongle?

So I'm intrigued with the miracast dongles but I don't want to spend a fortune on it. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with them. Also hoping to not spend more than $40 on it. I'm running the Nexus 5 Experience which is CM11 and it seems to support it.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Chromecast dongle. $35. Allcast from Koush and a Chromecast dongle. I can show pictures and movies from my phone.

From what I understand is that Chromecast won't let me mirror my phone to the TV which is what I'm looking for. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Allcast allows you to do just that. Also, I think there's an app called mirror also by Koush that allows you to stream that onto an apple tv

Could you please explain how to mirror your android phone to the TV like a miracast dongle would. I purchased a chromecast and so far I am unsuccessful in mirroring whatever is on my phone to the TV. I looked up the Koush beta and it only works for the NEXUS 5...
You can't mirror at this point. But you can play videos and music from your device and stream them to your TV. Koush working on mirroring for all devices.
You can also use Allcast to stream to any dnla device like Roku, XBox PS4.
