All these partially done Roms

Does anyone know if HDMI works out the box on any of them, You dont need a special kernel to use HDMI out.... I watch movies on my TV all the time with the gallery.

Which Rom are u looking at, any of the roms based off the EVO software hdmi should work, a lot of the cm roms have working hdmi, the ports probably won't have hdmi unless the phone it was ported from had hdmi,
You might want put what kind of Rom ur looking for like gingerbread with sense 2.1 and working hdmi, (don't think that exists) although I got my phone recognizing hdmi I can't get the phone to output anything, one of these days I will dig into the logcat and see if I can find anything useful

How to connect EVO to TV

I have an EVO 4g & an HDMI cable. However, not sure how to get the video from the video to appear on the TV..

Hook small end of the hdmi cable into phone, then plug into tv, change the channel. Lol. Every tv has different settings so its going to be on one of the main like the channel you play games on or use it for cable or what. Just flip through your channel settings and make sure to check if anything poped up on your phone about it

On my tv anyway, I have to select input, then hdmi 3. Yours will depend on which hdmi hookup you used.

Are you stock, what ROM are you using?

Do you have an HDMI cable or a micro HDMI cable? (does one end fit into the phone?)

If your using a stock ROM with a stock kernel you will only be able to display video from youtube and the video app. To mirror the display from your phone you will need to flash a different kernel. This is assuming that you are rooted of corse. I like the plane old poonsense 2.2.3 kernel. Maybe there are better kernels out there, but this one has never given me any problems. I've tried others and they didn't play well with my phone. Get kernel manager in the play store, or marker or whatever it's called now. It will give you a list of compatible kernels for your phone.

The best evo kernel is lionfish. It has hdmi mirroring and great battery life. Made for sense roms

Im not on sense...Im using the MIUI ROM w/savage zen kernel 2.2.1 Its been the best performing ROM in every way for me. But when I connect the phone to the TV I get nothing...lol Do I need a separate program on my phone to make it work?

You need to have a kernel that supports hdmi out, not sure if that rom/kernel will work. The stock rom definitely works, as far as I know all custom kernels from the latest OTA don't have it working.

What app are you trying to stream from? You may need an HDMI mirroring app.

I am trying to watch sum movies thru QQ player. Is there a better video player on the market? Where can I get an HDMI mirroring app? I really dont want to go back to stock ROM...MIUI has been great.

bump anyone?

If you do not want to go back to stock entirely, investigate some of the dual boot methods. You can boot into another ROM watch your vids and boot back into Miui.
Can do the same without the dual boot specific steps by setting up the ROM that will play vids and nandroiding it,etc

If you want to do HDMI mirroring, I think you have to go back to a froyo 2.2 rom and use TeamWin HDMI mirroring app and kernel. Froyo is the last rom I heard that works on, I haven't seen anything that they got it working on GB.

What is the easiest and fastest way to get HDMI working? What ROMs supports it?

Any cm7 based rom works. Decks reloaded works amazing with HDMI.
Download the hdmwin app from the market and grant super user permission. Also download the v8 deamon that comes with it. Set the settings to route audio, CPU to max, keep screen on and make sure you plug it in when you are mirroring. You will need to restart after the initial settings of the settings. Plug in select mirror and if doesn't work right away take the cable out and plug it in again. It can be stubborn sometimes.
I use it all the time while having the evo synced to a wiimote to control it.

platinumPenguin i tried using HDMI win but it doesnt work..How did you get it working? ANd what is v8 deamon i dont see it in the market??

Should video out via HTC cable work on CM9?

Bought the HTC micro USB to RCA cable so we could connect to RCA inputs on rear entertainment system in 2912 Honda Pilot. Burned three of the kids' movies and converted to AVI but no audio or video is going to vehicle system. Made sure I had vehicle source set to aux video input and the movie plays fine on Inc using MX Player.
Any ideas? Using latest CM9 from Drk.HD. Do I need to go back to stock software from HTC? Anyone successfully using TV/video out capability of Inc with a custom rom?

I don't know about custom Sense ROMs, but TV-OUT doesn't work on any AOSP ROMs (which includes CM9/AOKP/CM7, among others).

Thanks.
Can anyone recommend a sense rom that has confirmed functioning TV out for the DInc?

Anything based on stock firmware, ie sense 1.0 roms that are not ported from evo, should have full functionality. Some examples are mcsense, stock plus, touch of blue. Other roms that have sense 2.0 or higher may work but only the stock HTC sense 1 firmware and roms based on it are guaranteed to work.

Possible to use USB webcam with Kindle Fire OTG cable?

Hello!
As you may have noticed, some Kindle Fire ROMs have a Camera app built into them. Normally, this app is useless. I was thinking about this the other day and an idea occured to me. Would it be possible to plug in a USB webcam into the Fire via a USB OTG cable and have it be able to take pictures with the Camera app? Don't know if this is possible or not, just thought I'd ask. Thanks!

I'm fairly certain that this is impossible.
Feel free to try it if you like though.

Ah thats too bad. Would be awesome if this was possible.

Should be possible.....but I am not sure. As long as it is a webcam for Android devices....and it uses Micro-USB....It should work. Probably depends on your ROM.

i bought a Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter and i used a standard usb webcam to used skype, on twi_priv sgt7 jellybean rom, and it works!!!

Could you give me the model number of the cable and webcam and where you bought it? Also, does the Camera app work or just skype?

Woah, you got Skype to work so you can have two-way video conversation? Tell me everything! How did you work this dark magic?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

What camera do I need for this to work? Would be awesome to do with Skype or a Google+ Hangout

Where did that other guy go that said he was able to use a camera with Skype?

sorry i havent checked this thread for a while and the camera app doesnt work on it, but theres no mic so i cant talk to people just see them,

Would it be possible to use a different USB camera that has a microphone and have it work with Skype?

idk possibly, but i gave my camera and otg cable to my friend, i dont use my kindle with skype anymore, i use my new asus transformer! its pretty sweet

Can you give us a link to the exact model of webcam that you had?

I'm using HashCodes [ROM/KERNEL] UNOFFICIAL CM10 + 3.x Kernel for Kindle Fire [09/16 CHARGING+]
anyone had any luck with this? I'm interested if this is really possible.

Is it true we can get mhl to work ?

So all I wanna do is be able to use a mhl HDMI-type c adapter to mirror my z2 too much pioneer radio [emoji16] seems that all the talk is out of the box this phone will only cast/mirror with chrome cast . Then I heard can edit a line in build prop to get it to work .
What's my work around to get what I need working.
Using a HDMI -rca av converter cable and need a mhl adapter to mirror to my head unit .
But like mentioned in hopes there is a fix with the build prop that will enable mhl.
Anyone chime in or confirm?
And if so what do I need to edit .
Or do I need to ditch this phone that I love so much over a galaxy .
Unfortunately I prefer to use mirroring a little more for leisure needs watching show box...Netflix etc... In car on the touch screen over not having a device that can cast .

build.pro. I haven't tested HDMI but i did add it and I also added miracast support. I test miracast with my LG tv and it works.

Could it be posible to get "MirrorLink" working with this solution but adding a for this option?

Enabling MiraCast via build.prop on rooted phones is a regular thing, but enabling HDMI, that would be intresting.
If you're desperate for the HDMI, you can buy the MDK (Moto Mod development kit) around 130 Euro/USD and it has SlimPort on it (I'm using it occassionally as improvised DEX )

I have come up with nothing from Moto on whether the hardware can support USB C to HDMI or not, but I sure could use the wired functionality for use with AR glasses / no lag. Has anyone successfully enabled MHL on a Z or Z2 (or Z3)?

1. Have you flashed the MDK Display sample firmware?
2. Is your DIP-switch config as in the reference ?
3. Are you using a SlimPort microUSB to HDMI?

Sry, I seem to have expressed my concern incorrectly. I get the usb port #3 to work with ease. Display output is working fine. My problem is with the usb port #2, which i want to use in usb3(.1?) mode, which is not working for me with the github repos right now.
