[Q] CM6 TV-Out function? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen this question asked a lot, but haven't seen it answered. Why isn't the tv-out function working on CyanogenMod? Is a fix in the works?

The problem with the TV out is all closed source code owned by HTC. I wouldn't hold my breath for this, we may eventually have support, but not in the near future. You may need to switch to a sense or vanilla desensed rom.

It's being tracked at the CyanogenMod forums at forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/5969-tvout/ and is in the bug tracker, but listed as a low priority.

[Q] Cyanogenmod video out?

Will Cyanogenmod ever support the Incredible's video out?
If there work being done on this and if so, is there a place to watch the progress?
This is one of the last things keeping me on a sense rom.
Thanks.
This thread should probably be in Q&A. I would also like this function - it sucks having to choose between the wii remote working on CM6 and the tv-out working on Sense

I have the exact same issue. I want to use video out to a TV and a bluetooth keyboard simultaneously (would make the incredible a decent enough substitute for a laptop when traveling) but unfortunately it's one or the other...

[Q] what is the issue with hdmi???

So I was just wondering why hdmi us messed up on every rom except stock sense? I don't every use it & I'm not too upset by the lack of it. Is anybody working on a fix or does nobody care?

Are you on a sense rom? It may only be messed up on aosp roms. Almost every rom page I go to on xda will say "not working: 4G & HDMI"
It is only AOSP roms that it doesn't work. This is because the hdmi code isn't open source so it can't be incorporated into anything other sense based roms.

Yes I use sense, you are correct no HDMI in AOSP ROMs. Sorry if you said AOSP I didn't see that. Need to start reading all the words. I think once they iron out the 4G issues they may focus on HDMI. I think just getting 4G working was using up all their resources.
HDMI isn't in AOSP ROMs because HTC has not released the source code, and only one dev is working on reverse-engineering it. However, his biggest problem is that the EVO's GPU is a POS and overheats whenever he enables mirroring (showing on the TV everything that's on the phone's screen).

any roms with a working ffc?

I have been looking and looking but I have not seen any threads or any posts stating definitively whether or not any of the roms for the samsung galaxy s III that the front facing camera is working. Is there any way that anyone can answer my question. I am sorry if this has already been posted somewhere else. I have looked but I cant find it. If there is i will gladly go there for the answers
i believe all roms, have ffc are working, i was on blazer and it work, now on cm10 and its working too.
Yeah every ROM so far on the development side of this forum has a working FFC and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

HDMI mirroring sideways in cm 10.1 (4.2.1)

not sure if this is a known bug or something im messing up, but i just tried to HDMI mirror on my TV and it shows as landscape sideways...basically its landscaped sideways, sort of looks like a youtube video recorded in portrait mode sideways. I dont have much experience with HDMI mirroring but im getting the appradio 2 soon and wondering if there is something im missing in settings on my tv or in the rom settings, etc....hope what im explaining make sense
this is the cable im using.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006V7F380/ref=oh_details_o01_s01_i01
I tested all the non-stock based roms and they all have the same issue... I use the HDMI-out a lot, isnt there a fix or something like that?

Yep, mine is different. And it works flawlessly with LiteRom and other stock-based roms. Also I have the same issue like you with CM 10.1, AOKP and others. Staying in ICS- Touch Wiz when we have pure JB isn't funny

I also posted in the 4.2.1 dman thread..maybe you can quote it and hopefully it will prompt an answer. I'm going to put my appradio in soon and without proper hdmi its essentially useless.

THIS is my third post, I can't post in development section yet. I've seen your post in CM10.1 thread, but it looks like no one cares about HDMI-out, and thats something understandable because there are things more important to fix. Hope never dies, we have to wait for a fix...
your complaint is legitimate, I also can confirm these issues.. also the sounds are played on the phone when connected, but they should be played on the tv, hope the devs will fix it
Anything has changed with the last updates?

I don't have that cable to test it and I believe neither the owners of the other ROMs have it. Post some pics and logcat while you connect the hdmi out to the TV, it might have a clue of where to look for correction of orientation.

I can confirm this bug as well
I can confirm this bug as well and it is not related to the HDMI cable. I used the same with CM 7.2 and there the display on the TV was shown correctly. With CM 10.1 the display on the TV is always sideways no matter how I rotate the mobile.
I hope this bug can be fixed soon as I also use the HDMI connection quite often for music and videos
Does anybody know where I can find the official bug list or where such issues can be officially posted?

[Q] Bluetooth broken on CM10.1 (+ any 4.2 ROM tried); Drop to CM10.0, or other?

Hi,
I've a few 4G's running Cyanogenmod 10.1-RC4.
Generally great, but ...
Bluetooth is unstable, and refuses to pair with many devices. That's old news -- LOTS of others on 4.2.x-based ROMs are reporting similar problems.
NONE of the fixes/workaround I've managed to find/try have helped. And, AFAICT, Google's "not talking".
My alternatives atm seem to be:
(1) stay on current 4.2 ROM and live without Bluetooth
(2) wait for 4.3, 5.0, or 'whenever' it gets magically fixed
(3) drop back to another version (<= 4.1 ? other) where bluetooth is known to work and be stable.
(1) isn't an option. (2) is plain foolish. (3) seems like a (possible) plan.
QUESTION: What's a recommended choice? I don't need flashy, I need functional -- rooted and without vendor bloatware.
Is CM 10.0 my "best" choice?
BT is imho the only pain point of 10.1/rc5. I too have read that none of the fixes work that corrected it on earlier versions.
Does anyone have a solution to the BT problems that is up to date with 10.1/rc5?
Good questions about cm op. Subscribing.
I'm considering cm for my epic due stock rom being a pos pita, but need bt. Same requirements, functional, not flashy, slim, fast and good battery. Please be sure to update and post here. I'm interested in what route you take.

For getting bluetooth & wifi both working at the same time, CM 9.1 RELEASE is the only viable option in the CM product line. On any of my phones, anyway. Neither 10.0 or 10.1 work.
I switched after finding this bug
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-878#comment-12632
which got no traction at all. Lots of references in there that make you wonder what Google, at least, is thinking.
Between all that, and the thin responses here, v9.1 will be good enoough until I eventually updgrade to other phones/ROMs.
Bluetooth temporary fix
Bluetooth issues are for almost all cm10.1 roms. The only solution is to force stop Bluetooth from applications and the toggle again. It works for me
Hit THANKS if I helped :laugh:
