Wireless screen mirroring to a Smart TV with GrapheneOS

Chopped7821

Can I connect wirelessly to a Smart TV (Roku) for screen mirroring? I see Cast is an option in Settings > Connected Devices > Connection Preferences but it says "No nearby devices found" when I go there.

It has been discussed here - https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/2153-does-screen-cast-work-in-graphene-os-pixel-6a
No success since, at least for me.

Then the answer is that wireless screen mirroring is impossible on GrapheneOS without Google Play Services, and even then it does not work sometimes.

That's too bad. I guess I'll have to try wired options.

Chopped7821 I havent looked into this, but have you considered desktop sharing apps?

maybe there are such apps that might work for andoid. I'm talking about the likes of teamviewer and zoom and and anydesk and such.

This statement from beginning of 2023 still correct?

"Cast Screen to device" without Google Play still not possible?

I'm not familiar with that kind of app, so I wouldn't know how to look into it.

Are you referring to a remote desktop app like RustDesk? That could work if I wired a Google Android phone to the TV and connected to it remotely, but it requires another phone.

IF the option is available.......
Firstly if your TV is model 3700, then it won't work.
Secondly the roku OS needs to be 7.7 or above for the setup to be automatic. If lower then the TV needs an update or setup manually
Those instructions are from roku

Personal experience - when option available on other phones
Turn off any VPN on both phone and TV, and try.

I can use FCAST as an app on my Nvidia Shield to see what is playing on my phone, but I dont know why that works

Fcast works with Grayjay. Not sure why

The main question is what protocol does that TV use.

Miracast seems to be broken in Android and was now dropped.

Chromecast may require Play services.

There may be other methods. Moonlight and sunshine for example

please more details.

I don't wish to install Play Services

vlc has its own implementation built into the app that can play video to a chromecast.
