Things needed:
1. An android phone having a Micro-HDMI or MHL capability. ( I used my old Sony ericsson Xperia Neo V for this)
2. (Optional) Older androids don't have much RAM to receive casts and play them without much stutter. So i would suggest you to remove most bloatwares including Google Apps (Google play services sucks a lot of RAM so i had to do this)
3. Install this application from playstore [https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...kx.cast&hl=en]
(Disclaimer: I have not linked this application for any commercial purpose or any other intention to compromise your devices. I suggest this application because it doesn't display any ads and it just works as i wished)
4. Connect your android phone to your Home Wi-Fi and plug your phone to your TV with the Micro-HDMI or MHL cable. You can also plug the usb cable to your phone and TV so it gets charged while you use the device
5. Since this app uses DLNA you need a few more steps for casting videos. Install this app from the playstore to your other phone (not the one connected to the TV) https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...re.tubio&hl=en. So that you can select the android as TV from the menu. It is normally displayed as KXcast(your phone model, MT11i in my case)
6. So as we had done every steps, now go to Youtube app in your phone (not the one connected to the TV) and click on share button above the video select Tubio app. Select your old android phone as TV and click play. It will show connecting to service please wait for a few seconds and then would play in your TV through your old Android device
Phone Model Used:
Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V
Accessories Needed:
Two android phones - One to receive (Plugged to the TV) and other to send, Micro-HDMI to HDMI or MHL cable, USB Cable (Optional)
Apps tested:
Youtube, Youtube gaming
Local videos:
Nero streaming player (Select the videos you want and play to the DLNA/Airplay enabled device you don't need Tubio for this. I have used Tubio only to play from youtube or other apps)
