You can now mirror your Android screen on Chromecast, if you have a Nexus 5
Cyanogen’s Koushik Dutta has been teasing the prospect of mirroring your Android screen on Chromecast for a few weeks, and today you can finally try the feature — if you have the right smartphone, that is. An updated version of the Mirror for Android beta includes early support for mirroring to either a Chrome browser or Chromecast, but only if you have a Nexus 5. Google’s phone is the sole device with the hardware video decoder needed for this mirroring technique, Dutta says. You also have to get root-level access to the operating system with the current release, although that won’t be necessary in the future. Provided you meet the app’s exacting requirements, you can give mirroring a spin at the source link.
