I am seeking a solution that will enable me to mirror the screen from Android (LineageOS 20) to Android TV (LineageOS 20 for Android TV). Chromecast is only accessible for Google-certified devices; therefore, Chromecast will not function here.

Is there a project in which I can install the receiver app on the Android TV and the client app on the Android phone to accomplish this?

I got BJCAST working (https://github.com/WirelessPresentation/WirelessDisplay) by installing the BJCastTV.apk on the TV and BJCast-v2.2.2.apk (from the Aug 18, 2021 release) on my phone. It also has windows/mac clients. It claims to also work with Miracast (so the phone app shouldn't be necessary), but I wasn't able to get it running that way. Maybe you'll have better luck. Also it seemed rather laggy to me, and kinda shady too, despite being open-source, it's all in chinese and displays "Trial Version" in the corner.

EDIT: Actually, I read now that it's not FOSS, only part of the code for the demo version is available. Sad.
