Will Chromecast work with GNex?

[AbhishekS]

I want to mirror my screen to my TV using Chromecast. Is it possible on the Galaxy Nexus?

Chromecast does not mirror. You have a bunch of applications that can stream media to your TV via HDMI port. That's the basic idea and also it's beauty so you can turn off your phone or disconnect and the stream is still playing on your TV.

I don't want to use the HDMI port. I want to mirror wirelessly.

Mirroring from phone to TV is the old fashion way, just get an Android TV box or TV stick (as big as a USB thumb drive), plug right into your hdmi port on your TV, now you have a full Android on your TV with a real browser and all the Android apps from playstore, next download the XBMC app (free), now you just turn your tiny little TV Android box into a super MEDIA CENTER, where you can stream anything directly to your TV, from latest HD movies, TV series etc...and use your phone as the remote control for the Android box or wireless keyboard/mouse.

That's a nice idea, but then how do I watch videos and pictures stored in my phone?
