How to make screen mirroring work on an LG smart tv?

Hey guys!
Iam curious on how to use screen mirroring to play games on my LG smart tv
Do i have to buy this?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Wi-...-2&keywords=Samsung+WI-FI+All-Share+Cast+Hub,
Or this?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-WIS...-1&keywords=Samsung+WI-FI+All-Share+Cast+Hub,

Thanks in advance

I have one of these - Samsung Wi-Fi Display Hub for Galaxy S2/S3/S4/Note 2 - Black . Works well but I did find you need "Official" statuses in both bootloader and settings to work with my Note 10.1. Haven't tried with my S4... This is for total screen mirrorring. It shows everything I do on my tablet on screen...
The DLNA sharing is only for movies, music and pictures...
I have a Samsung TV and the DLNA works well...
My advice, look at the reviews and buy the cheapest if the TV you have doesn't support DLNA... I'd check that 1st...

My tv supports DLNA but I'm only interested on screen mirroring.
So that means even if I but the hub it won't work for me because I using omega rom?

Probably not though I have read in the note 10.1 forum of it working. Not to my experience however. I use a rooted stock rom on my SG Note 10.1 I have flashed using Mobile ODIN. I run triangle away 1st and get all Status's "Official" with 0 flash count but when I tried flashing other roms it went ass up... You might be able to try the workaround on triangle away but that requires the paid app...

Thanks. I can buy the app, that's no problem.
So all I need to get for screen mirroring is the hub not the dongle right?
Yep, the hub mirrors everything but the dongle actually says its a DLNA dongle...
screen mirroring
Purchase the allshare dongle, plug in to available hdmi slot, turn on your screen mirroring on your phone, dongle should be recognized...If you get error msg that cannot connect or find the dongle, make sure you have the latest firmware update for the allshare dongle

Revert back to Stock Shield ROM

Thought, I'd try out the Full Android ROM, but after flashing just found out that the official Shield Remote doesn't work.
I would appreciate if, someone could tell me the steps to revert back to the stock nvidia rom that came with the shield and relock the bootloader.
Many thanks
Edit: Figured it out, just simple fastboot commands. Would be happy to assist others.

Same here, I decided to try the full Android ROM then started noticing a bug with the cast function crashing on me and having to restart my shield TV in order to get it operating again which is very inconvenient for me as I cast movies from my PC to my shield . Also the fact that I have to have my nvidia shield controller wired to my console by the way of USB is still bothering me, there is also limitations on what you can do and download to the console, the ROM is advertised as being able to do and download whatever you want into the console but that's not the case here as most apps are not compatible and Google Play Store wont show a lot of apps and games, I was able to download market helper and trick the Play Store into thinking that my shield TV is a different device therefore allowing me to download almost every app, the problem with this is that the games like Gangstar Vegas look like crap and I can't get any of my bluetooth controllers to work with the game not even the Nvidia shield controller that came with my console plugged in with USB when I know for a fact that i can play Gangstar with my bluetooth controllers because I play it on my Nexus 5 without an issue, I was also able to download Need for Speed Most Wanted and it look great but once again I wasn't able to get any of my bluetooth controllers working with it not even the Nvidia shield wired controller and I know that these two games support Bluetooth controller as I play them on my Nexus 5 and on my OUYA... my bluetooth controllers work with most games on GeForce now but a few games the buttons don't work which it's another inconvenience. Having to install droidmote to play some games it's also a deal breaker as I don't want to have to activate the service everytime I want to play a android game, I really don't play touch screen games on my console anyways. Using a mouse and keyboard to navigate really aggravates me, I don't like having to be swiping to navigate and pulling down on the status bar with a mouse as sometimes I have to pull down more than once. I really love that there is development for the Shield TV and I appreciate what Zulu has done for us all, Full Android works pretty well on it but for me right now Stock is the way to go and maybe down the road when development is further ahead I'll consider switching back to Full Android...
I recently tried out the full android rom on my shield tv pro and when I tried to get back to stuck I accidentally locked the bootloader first. Now I cant unlock the bootloader and it only says (bootloader) device cant be unlocked.
I can boot into the custom rom but there is no way I can flash stock or any other thing anymore.
Please help!! is there a way to force unlock the bootloader?

Shield TV and apps comatibility?

Yesterday i bought a new Nvidia Shield TV to replace my old Android TV box. It surprised me that almost all the APKs that i used in my old android TV, crashed as soon as i tried to open them in the shield.
They are all apks from south american tv channels that broadcast their live channels on them (i sideloaded them as they are not in the shield tv play store).
Is this normal? Im using the new Shield Experience 6.0 as i got the shield tv yesterday, so i had no chance to test the previous releases. All this apks worked on my Matricom Q Box amlogic android tv box, and i cant make them work in the Shield.
Is it something about the new Shield Experience update? Or the machine itself is not compatible with this small android apps in general?
Thank you!!!

Does HBO Go work on the Shield Android TV

Hi guys, there is a Android TV version of HBO Go. Is it working for You guys that might have it?
I have Zulu's Full Android ROM on my Shield Android TV and normally I can use either Phone apps or Android TV apps, it has full support for the Shield Remote or I can use my Air Mouse.
The problem I have with HBO Go is, first of all, the app does not seem to fit the screen properly even if I force landscape. Second the air mouse or the Shield Remote does not seem to be able to click the menus. Could be I guess because the screen is not fitting properly?
I would like to know if it's a problem with this ROM or if people using the stock ROM have the same issue

The Fire Stick 1 is toooooo slow to play games via Moonlight anyway. I strongly advise against it.
Yes, you can root the stick if you have a firmware lower than 5.2.6.1.
Okay so is IT possible to Connect ps4 Controller with fire TV Stick 2 with(Out) root?
