I need some pointers for a good ROM/kernel which supports TV out for this device.
I am aware of the various uPnp and transcoding apps over wifi which not all the time stream lossless quality. Please suggest me a tested ROM or point me to a thread which lists a good ROM with TV out capabilities for gingerbread 2.3.6.
Appreciate your help.

I personally love the Digital series, by TDJ.

You will still need a mhl adaptor and micro hdmi to hdmi cable.

Yeah, that's the only bad part about this. If you don't have a tv that streams, you have to buy the adapter which ain't cheap.
That's about the only thing I liked on my G2X, that it had a hdmi port.

It can stream through my xbox or ps3 but you need a 3rd party app. I dont really care for DLNA its a great concept but its really choppy when trying to stream a movie from your phone..music and pictures are great tho...

Darkside was my last hope and it has not failed me. I have been using this ROM starting 2.2a version. TV out definitely works.
Im using the Mx Video player which has capabilities to show subtitles out of the mkvs (most other players dont) which are not attached to the video. Both of these are a good combination. Do you guys know any other better player?
The audio however is a bit downscaled and the 720p is a bit pixelish. (you can see the bigger pixels if you get closer). Both stock player and mxvideo player did this. so im thinking it could be a phone limitation.
Still Darkside was the only ROM I saw for now which has been running stable for TV Outs..
And btw, Darkside just released Darkside 2.4 .http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473077

Is this tv out with the headphone jack using a rca cable (yellow, red, and white output)? Can the t989 output video and audio to a tv using such a rca cable through the headphone jack?

Kind of a silly question, but would you really use your phone to watch your movies on a big screen? I mean I guess if you didn't have ANY other solution. But these days it's hard to imagine someone who doesn't have a PC or a dvd/bluray player to watch movies on or something. Maybe if you were traveling or something...
I've thought about the hdmi cable but can't think of a single instance when I would actually use it....
I have lots of movies and tv shows on my phone and I have the cable and watch them when I go to friends houses or when I'm at work. It's nice to be able to do so.

I would like to stream Netflix to HDMI when its released. Kind of like a portable movie rental box. I think its a pretty reasonable question.
Im a bit of a perv, but there are s few adult only content apps that stream out via hdmi that look much better on a 55inch instead of a 4incher, some people say size dont matter,but they're all men

I have some AVI files on my SD card and open them with the app rock player and when I plug in my HDMI cable to my tv it dosent work...why? Is there a way to develope an app that would let you tell it when the output should work?
Thanks in Advance!
This is a known problem with the evo, using the stock rom, the HDMI functionality is limited. Rumor is that someone has developed a true hdmi out driver on the cyanogen team, but I can't comment about when that will be baked into a rom. CM7 nightlies are the best bet as to when though.
My hdmi doesn't work either. When I plug it in everything is good when I try to go to a pic or vid the phone reboots and gets stuck on the splashscreen until i pull the hdmi cord out and pull battery.
Thats because your tv probally only has support for HDMI 1.3 micro HDMI needs HDMI 1.4 to work, this has provided alot of heartache to people, it makes no sense to me, because micro HDMI still uses a 19 pin connector just like regular HDMI just smaller but for some reason only 1.4 supports micro (sorry for the lengthy answer this has been very frustrating to me...)

hdmi not working
i have two evos one has the 0003 hardware and the new one has 0004, the 0003 works perfect with my cable but the 0004 doesnt even recognize the phone, any ideas thanks
As far as I know right now HDMI is only supported when using hardware playback. The you tube player uses hardware so will output to HDMI. Also the internal video player as well as the HTC streaming video player. The only file types that seem to work with hardware playback are either mp4 or wmv's. I dont use wmv much, but I did get one to work with the HDMI. I havent looked into it but apparently someone on the Droid X forum (might of been another phone, can't remember) was able to get full UI on HDMI and maybe, just maybe they were going to port it to the EVO. It would be nice if the Cyanogen team can get it working with their rom. If fact I would donate to see that happen.
I just had a question about the MHL resolution on the T989, will it output in 1080? I have a cheap MHL adapter and it wont do anything higher than 480P, any suggestions?
Here is the MHL adapter that I am using:

I'm having a similar problem. I have a galaxy sII, but even watching a video in 1080, the image is horrible.
I use version 2.3.6 Gingerbread
UHKI1 I9100
2.6.35.14 kernel N.E.A. K-x 1.4.2
May be the kernel problem?
Well the resolution of the phone is.... Yeah..

I just purchased a couple of these MHL Cables. They were a couple cheapies on ebay and one broke while trying to setup for first use, did not try the second and instead requested refund and now have a samsung MHL adapter on the way. Hoping the experience would be decent.
Here is a link to the crappy ones that apparently fall apart while trying to hook them up. On the one I tried to use the Micro USB Charging port connector ripped right out of the HDMI Plug in part. Pure Crap!!! Dont buy these!!

Another thing to note. While using the Netflix app.
It appears that Gingerbread has much worse resolution then Ice Cream Sandwich. My phone is up to date with latest ICS Rom and my Wife's phone is still on GB because I have not gotten around to updating it to the latest version. Her's looks like crap when using the same MHL cable whereas when hooked up to mine, it looks much better. I also notice that her phone will try to output widescreen 16:9 format while mine outputs what looks like 4:3.
Just info I have noticed since using my Samsung MHL Cable.
I have only tried a couple different things with the cable, couple games and facebook, those appear to render fine. I suppose I really need to try and play a video with the built in player or youtube next.
Finally bought the expensive mhl adapter for the s3 and after hooking up my phone to my samsung px2370 1080p monitor, I don't like what I'm seeing. The picture looks really fuzzy and reminds me of interlaced output. Plus my monitor is reporting a resolution of 1920x1079. Anyone experiencing the same problem?

Im thinking its because I'm rooted to be honest, it works by shutting off the device first then plugging everything in then turning it on and it's supposed to pick up from there but nothing happens. The same with my One S.

It might just be my pc monitor. I can't even get it to work with my computer via hdmi (dvi works though, as well as with my 360 and ps3). The adapter looks legit to me. I'll be trying it on a different tv and/monitor in a bit

I bought the new MHL adapter as soon as it was available from Samsung. Output from applications like Netflix is reduced quality, this is intentional by the Netflix app. If you play a HD movie, you will see the quality is very good.
My only problem was lag. It looked good, but it was the equivalent of playing a video game with a framerate of around 20 FPS, it made gaming impossible and movies frustrating. I was told it may be my MHL adapter, but I haven't gotten a new one yet.
Saying it's the adapter is the easy answer. I have one that works perfectly on almost any LCD TV I have tried, but on LCD monitors, I have issues usually. I have used it with an HDMI to DVI cable, and got the exact result you described. I think it has something to do with the monitor not recognizing the native output. I haven't used it on an HDMI monitor.
I can confirm it works quite well on almost all TV's.
Ok I think I know what the problem is now. Seems like the s3 only outputs tp 1080i, that explains the flickering and fuzziness on my Led monitor. Is there no mod or hack to at least make it output at 720p instead (since 1080p would probably be to demanding)? Why would samsung stick to just 1080i? Was it the same with previous phones like the s2?

Now that I'm on the puter it's gonna be easier to explain, I bought a T-Mobile MHL kit when
I got the HTC One S and rooted the device but for some reason it wouldn't work with it so
about a month after I had the One S I bought the GS3 and rooted it (still have both) and
tried it with this one and still nothing.
I was told by a few that it might not work on a rooted device but after doing the research it
seems that I'm the only one having this problem but I figured trying it on a different device
should show something, I'm at the point now that I'm sure it's the MHL kit and not a root
problem.
AFAIK only 1 cable/adapter exists that works with the s3 and its an official samsung product. Previous mhl adapters won't work due to a change in pin layout to the connector so if you bought one that isn't marked for the s3, the most likely isn't compatible and won't work. Even official s2 mhl adapters won't work

It figures, I should just restore the One S to stock or sell it but on another note I just posted a tutorial for anyone interested on how to use the GS3 and the PS3 as a media server, connections and settings if you have a PS3 already. In the T-mobile general section.

That's cool. Im thinking of getting one too. Didn't know they were so reasonable.

Im using the samsung one..really great quality. was $20.00 @ frys i think?..read somewhere that some third party MHL adapters messed the phone up so i decided to use the factory recommended one:good:
i remember seeing the mertiline deal...was about to jump on it, until i realize it doesn't allow me to plug in the charger. I think I'll be ordering one from monoprince that adds an inline USB charging port. But good to see the video quality is good via the converter.

How is the quality? I want to use mine to watch youtube and downloaded videos on my TV. Is the quality comparable to connecting my laptop to my tv via hdmi.

Sorry for the delay, i could not say is comparable to HDMI with your laptop but it's still very nice to watch. I tried youtube videos, WMV, AVI, and 720P MKV Videos without problem,...You can notice some small blur when there.s a lot of movements in the videos. Maybe the Original Samsung Adapter is better than this one, i don't know i don't have one in my hand to compare...

I've read other threads saying the ones from e-bay it's a hit and miss... some works some don't!!!
Did you try to reboot while it is plugged ?
I bought the cheapest one I could find for like $5 and it works great. The adapter doesn't seem to work with any of the JellyBean roms, just ICS and lower if that helps.
whenever i use my sgs2 with a MHL adapter the phone goes into 'auto rotation out of control mode' when i switch inputs on the target device. i'm sure it has something to do with it losing HDMI sync, but i've never seen a fix for it which is so damn annoying.
other than that it's pretty nifty.
