I thought I'd upgrade my current phone and I got a Nova 9. Besides for it having a good camera, I'm annoyed with the lack of android and google services.

I did install Gspace and Gbox to be able to get my gmails, but what REALLY annoys me is that I can't cast to my chromecast.

My whole household runs on chromecast. Without it our tv's don't work.

Can anyone suggest a workable way for me to cast from this phone (before I chuck it down the toilet) I'm willing to pay for apps.

Why would you buy a phone without Google services?

I want something that will stream to my google chromecasts which I have throughout my whole house. Will apple do that?

On another note, I've found another iOS app that works better on Android *rolls eyes*

So we can add Private Property to the list of apps that don't work correctly
 
Take it back, tell them the product doesn't fulfill your needs re: Chromecast and any layperson would expect any android phone to do so.

I don't have a chromecast, but a android box that allows to be cast to. I tried to cast with Huwawei Video and the browser with youtube and get no devices found. Tried VLC and it finds a device.

Works on youtube in Gspace.
