Pay securely with an Android smartphone, completely without Google services: This is the plan being developed by the newly founded industry consortium led by the German Volla Systeme GmbH. It is an open-source alternative to Google Play Integrity. This proprietary interface decides on Android smartphones with Google Play services whether banking, government, or wallet apps are allowed to run on a smartphone.
I mean, there’s f-cast:

That’s cool, thanks for sharing.
I looked into this app a while back iirc, just checked and it doesn’t work for de-googled phones, nor GrapheneOS. So not much of an alternative here.
The Android device that’s casting Fcast data (video/audio) has to have inbuilt Chromecast support… at which point I fail to see the much point of it as an Android casting alternative.
They say they may build an ‘Fcast sender’ for Android in future, which would solve the sending problem (for me), but then there’s another problem.
For receivers it supports neither Google Chromecasts nor Chromecast Audio - which are the main devices I would ever use Chromecast with.
Useful if you have the use-case with standard Android device (or PC) and a TV that has WebOS or some other third-party device (AppleTV) that supports it though.
