Enable Chromecast Screencast on Most Rooted Devices
XDA Developer r3pwn has created an app for rooted Android devices that will allow you to mirror your device screen through your Chromecast (see video below).
You MUST be rooted. Just download the APK and install it on your device. This app will enable Chromecast screencast on most rooted devices. Just install the app, go into the app #MirrorEnabler and enable mirror status! You may need to allow it Superuser permissions.

Chromecast Screencast video demonstration:
For those STILL having issues,
Check /system/lib/hw directory for the file “audio.r_submix.default.so”.
If it doesn’t exist, ask your device maintainer to add audio.r_submix.default to
the product_packages in the device.mk file. (You may not know what it means, but they will.)
