[GUIDE] How to enable Chromecast Mirroring on Lollipop for the N7 2012

I know this isn't the place to be advertising my own stuff, but anyone who wants to test v7 of #MirrorEnabler (compatible with Lollipop), send me a PM and I'll send you a link.

Still no luck on the 2012 Nexus 7

I know this isn't the place to be advertising my own stuff, but anyone who wants to test v7 of #MirrorEnabler (compatible with Lollipop), send me a PM and I'll send you a link.

R3pwn,

I installed your MirrorEnabler V7 (instead of using this code) and it does not seem to be working with my Nexus 7. Do all 3 options need to be enabled? Am I missing something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Never mind, I just did not enable the middle option and rebooted the Nexus 7 2012. It works now. Thanks

Same here. The TV goes black and nothing happens. 1 second later my nexus shows a message telling me that "casting screen to Chromecast has ended" and my TV goes back to wallpaper. I've tried MirrorEnabler V7 app with no luck.

Hi, I installed chromecast app yesterday
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app
version 1.9.7

Seems that is now supported

Just a warning message saying: your device is not optimized

Problem is that:

from settings/drop down quick-menu/whatever doesn't work.
This hack enable settings/drop down quick-menu/ access?

thanks

Noob Alert:
I'm trying this method because I would like to be able to access chromecast from the quicktile settings in lollipop.
However, once I access adb shell, I get all sorts of "blah blah not found" errors. See below:

Is this because I'm using the minimal ADB and Fastboot tool instead of the full SDK package? What am I doing wrong here?

Edit: Nevermind. I'm just a silly goose.

Hi, thanks for the guide. This is how I did it
All you need is a terminal emulator and sqlite3[1]

cd /sdcard/
cp /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db ./

su

sqlite3 gservices.db "insert into overrides (name, value) VALUES ('gms:cast:mirroring_enabled', 'true');"
sqlite3 gservices.db "insert into overrides (name, value) VALUES ('gms:cast:remote_display_enabled', 'true');"
sqlite3 gservices.db "select * from overrides;"

cp gservices.db /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db 

am force-stop com.google.android.gsf
am force-stop com.google.android.gms
am force-stop com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app

exit

I didn't use setenforce and it worked.

[1]You can find sqlite3 android PIE binary in /data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/sqlite3 (you need titanium backup)

thanks.
