I'm not sure if this is an issue with code not being dropped yet, but hdmi out has not worked on ANY ICS roms thus far. Does anyone else know about this? On Gingerbread it works. This is very important to me b/c I sync my ps3 controller to my phone and then line out to the flat screen, making it where I don't even have to touch my phone, which is awesome b/c the screen buttons are extremely hard to use on most games. I don't think most people know that you can even do HDMI out b/c I have never seen it in development, and when I bought the phone, it didn't even say that HDMI was a feature on Sprints site. This could be b/c you have to buy an adapter(micro USB to HDMI) unlike the EVO that has a seperate micro HDMI port. Any ideas guys?
Yeah you need an mhl adapter that then needs to be powered by another micro usb.

HDMI out does not work on any of the ics aosp roms for this phone and most if not all galaxy sii phones with aosp ics. Would be nice if we can get mhl support for aosp but it may never happen.

yes agreed.. it is called a MHL adapter.. ive had it working on stock ics but not on aosp.. havent tried with cm9a4 but i do know on cm9a3 it has been a known issue and they are aware it doesnt work.. not sure if there has been any progress yet but gaming on your big screen will need to be put on hold.. at least you can still stream video via twonky or other app through your ps3 as long as you have a wireles network at home

Its not a bug on CM9 its just a feature that has not been implemented. If you look at the github for CM9 there is just a placeholder at the moment.

I'm not sure if some of you guys read all of my post before answering, but obviously I have the mhl adapter and have it powered or it wouldn't work on gingerbread lol!! But thanks to the last 2 replies, that cleared it up for me.

What stock ICS did you have this working on? I flash every ROM that comes out but I gave up on trying after it didn't work on like 10 of them.

Here's what I know so far.
Originally I got the MHL adapter for my d710 Boost. The adapter is by Menotek. That didn't work for me. I tried it with the stock boost ICS rom FH29, FG31 and it was a no go. So then I flashed the phone with the Sprint ICS rom for the d710, the FI03 still nothing. All this time, when I would connect the phone to the tv, the "No Signal" message on TV would disappear but the screen remained dark, like it was getting video but there was no content to display.
So now I have gotten the Samsung recommended MHL HDMI Smart Adapter, part number EIA2UHUNBEGSTA. I got it today and at the time I was on the CM10 rom. That rom apparently has no support for MHL as of yet, which I didn't know. Needless to say I got no video to the TV. So then I flashed the Sprint ICS FI03 rom, and what beautiful surprise, got the video going on the TV. I also tried the adapter with the boost versions of ICS FG31 and FH29, both also worked in displaying video on the TV.
So my conclusion to this is that not all MHL adapters will work with all the phones that support ti, best to get the one recommended by the manufacturer of the phone, and that ICS does support HDMI out.

Can I use an snes usb controller with a micro adapter to play emulator games? Thanx.
If you have one, try it; though idk if it'd be supported.
Dont have one asking before I purchase
Ah, well I personally don't know. Some emulators support extended wired controllers, so I believe it'd work.

I'm not sure, but doubt it would work, as the evo doesn't support USB hosting. Heck, you can't even play music through the USB port. What you can do, is use an AOSP rom, and use a wiimote.

It only works on AOSP roms, i.e. CM7, evervolf, salvage, ect. It won't work on sense roms.
I have an app that I bought from the market for a buck called btmono. If your not familliar with it, what it does is convert my stero output from my phone and streams it to my mono bt headset. I use it for podcast and such since its not the greatest quality for listening to music. My delima is that it was runnning fine on the stock release froyo and I am currently running phoenix II with no problems. Before I got into custom roms I updated to gingerbread via sprint update and the streaming no longer worked. After probing the net that is how I stumbled onto this site.....thanks guys!!! Anyways, since most of the developers here are way more int the programming side than I am I was justv looking for input. I really want to update to a gingerbread build rom....but thus far they all do the same thing to my bt headset....and for me this is a deal breaker....what sux is that my wife's evo 4g is gb 2.3.3 and it works fine, and 2 days ago I tried it on my brothers stock galaxy 2 touch running gb 2.3.6 and it also worked fine. Humph. So, as a blanket statment....any input would be greatly appriceated!
Thanks in advanced.
Steve
I used to use an older version of that app on froyo. I was never able to get it to work on my epic after moving to leaked builds of gb. It used to be listed in the description in the market as froyo only. I have not tried it in several months and will give it a go again later today when I get home.

Ah You are correct...read it too fast. LOL. I see he had Randomking's Pheonix II.
Thanks guys....what puzzles me is that I actually talked to the developer and he says its even running on ics on certain phones. Its also working on my wifes htc evo and my brothers galaxy II touch and they are running gb 2.3.3 and 2.3.6 respectivly. No matter what build of gb I use its always a clean install and I am forced to repair my device. Does the modem that I am using have anything to do with the bt connection?
I am wanting to upgrade to thunderhawk. This is obviously a legal hack....it would be nice if the developers would figure out how it works and include it with their builds like the wifi hack. It actually is quite useful....all system sounds go through the mono bt headset even stereo musuc and podcasts. All without getting a headset that dosent have the adp2 protocol. Honestly I'm supprised google hasent explored this feature more and offered it. From what I hear it was included on older windows phones ans palms, so the idea has been around for awhile.
I have the same problem with mine and my brothers epic... it worked with froyo but not quite right with gingerbread... one day it will work fine, the next day it will work and then cut out, the next day not at all... think the app needs to be updated to fully support epic. It does work sometimes though
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Just spent some time trying to get this to work on thunderhawk 3.3 and still have the same results as on every other gb rom I have tried it with. It will connect, but audio just clips in quickly here and there. This is one thing I really miss from froyo as I used it quite a bit. Not worth going back just for that though. Hopefully this will get some support soon.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
has anyone contacted the dev on the app to ask if it is GB supported? and if it is ask him why it isn't working on the epic. i think this would be a good starting point.
So here is the response I got from thbe developer via email back on nov 22, right after the sprint rollout of gb. As I said before...my wife and my brother both have gb. They just happen to not be epic.
"It is more related to the firmware / drivers / kernel modules than the Android version. The program does work on 2.2, 2.3, and even 3.0+ (haven't tested yet on Ice Cream Sandwich). It works on every HTC device that I'm aware of including my EVO 4G and it works on my Asus Transformer. Unfortunately certain manufacturers seem to alter something in their firmware that prevents it from working. Almost no Motorola devices work, some Samsung devices have certain limitations, etc. Sorry, I can't guarantee that it will work at all. It's not something that Google supports so it's basically just a hack that works in certain circumstances.
Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks, Brian Sent from my ASUS Eee Pad."
So let's see if we can get these guys on here....to at least look into it. As I said, it is a very useful feature.
Jeffro, I have the same issues. It connects but the audio drops and it doesn't stream like it is supposed to.

Do any of the ICS leaks/releases thus far support USBOTG or USB host mode?
Our phone is supposed to be capable of it, but according to the threads I have read so far it is not working (at least prior to ICS).
The combination of working USB host and running Ubuntu / BackTrack5 would be awesome!

It worked for a while in international sgs2 but they disabled it for some reason.... E4gt has never had it as it's not in the kernel... Maybe cm9 will have it but they haven't said yet ...

i used to do it all of the time on the gingerbread roms but from what i can tell on mine running the FB17 leak, it will work if you pay for through sprint so we may just have to wait for the update to come out an some devs to make a rom.
What exactly do you mean that we may have to pay for it through Sprint?

since this is just the leaked stock its the same concept as the stock o/s when you got the phone, sprint wont let you use it without paying for the hotspot plan but when the devs get to work on the official release they change it so the you dont have to pay for USB hotspot.
I believe our ninja friend here had miss understood the question.
Mr Ninja, usbotg/USB host is a utility that allows the ability to use an adapter cable to connect things like a flash drive, USB keyboard/mouse, external hard drives, ect.. This was a feature that Samsung advertised that many of us (including myself) were extremely excited for, only to find out that Samsung/sprint had removed the ability from the Kernal. he waswondering if they had added it back with Ics.

was talking to jamcar who was trying to incorporate USB hosting with his DARKSTAR rom. he said that the files are included in ics kernels but there must be some specific drivers for our phone that need to be coded to get it working. he may or may not be working on it but i offered to test for him if he gets something going

I remember seeing the references to the USB OTG files back in the GB releases, but as most people found out, references doesn't mean the whole setup is working.
So are we basically at the mercy of Samsung to release the needed drivers then? If anyone is currently developing them, I would be more than happy to test... Although I need to aquire/solder the cable first

yup. i jumped on it as soon as i saw it in the list. its present in the ics kernels, but as for the necessary drivers/etc they are yet to be coded. its nice to see the demand for USB OTG growing. if it was this strong when zedomax was devving for us we might have gotten something (he started on a kernel for Tmo GS2 that supported it)

Hopefully someone comes out with a ROM that supports OTG. I really miss using my keyboard an mouse, lol.... Also would the HDMI to Mini fail to work as well because of the lack of OTG support?
I heard there is a new build today (fc13). Hopefully that will have otg. If not, maybe in cm9 soon or we beg zedomax to return.

Has anyone had any luck getting the SGSII Car dock to work with any of the ICS builds floating around?
Really want to switch to ICS but for me my car dock is a must.
Thanks!
yeah I love ICS but I need my car dock the only workaround that I have done was take the aux cable off and put it on the headphone jack of the phone but that defeats the purpose of having the official car dock.
Not car dock, but with the official Samsung desk dock...no go with ICS. Screen NEVER times out and sleeps! Fine with Gingerbread, however.
Well we need a fix for both because its just terrible having to crank up the speakers and have barely any sound
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App
I don't have a dock to test this with unfortunately.
Can somebody describe the issue to the fullest detail possible?
Normally I hook up the dock with the dock setting of volume through speakers. With ics the volume is really low even though both the phone and car speaker volume is set to max.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App
I experience the same thing as bykr_dude15 explains, with all ICS roms. I can turn my radio and phone volume up as high as they go and can just barely hear the audio coming out of the car speakers.
If anyone comes up with anything to test, put it in this thread and I'll be more than happy to give it a try on my phone.
Same here. Having the exact same issue. I can try and get logcats for you if that would help.
I wonder if its a kernel problem. But I too would be happy to test it because this is the only reason I don't want to use the ics roms
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App
So I broke down and just plugged a cable into the headphone jack for now because ICS is working so damn good on my phone I don't want to go back. but it is a real drag.
I am really thinking this is a kernal issue and can be fixed maybe with the use of something like this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.muteheadlight.dockredir&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5tdXRlaGVhZGxpZ2h0LmRvY2tyZWRpciJd
People are having to use this with CM9 also. Just needs to be built into the kernal I guess??
Yeah bro, it's gotta be the colonel. Perhaps Colonel Sanders.
Actually, I'm just messing with you; I have no idea. I didn't even read the thread. I know this is totally off-topic, but, you gotta have at least a few off-topic posts, right?
But yeah, ICS is sweet. There were a lot of 'behind-the-scenes' changes that caused some awesome breakage, though.

same problem with me... luckily I found a thread to post on...
I got the AOKP ROM for my AT&T Galaxy S2 i777 ... There is simply no option for the audio to be re-routed through the desktop dock [Samsung Official Desktop Dock] ... I did however got audio after plugging the AUX cable into the headphone jack, of course...
But one thing though, I found this app, called the Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector... but it says the ROM isn't supported... maybe it could be modded in some way?
I asked task650, and he said that it's only possible if the AOKP team includes it...
But I kinda wanna get it right now... I'm willing to try any hacks/mods to do this...

first, does anyone know where i can physically walk in and purchase a usb otg cable? office dept, radio shack, eb games, wal-mart, best buy. i really dont trust just googling for something physically in a store. so if anybody has found would could u please let me know where u found it. other question, is it the rom or the kernel that enables usb host mode? or was it an ics/gb thing? im wondering if a kernel flash on blazer rom will get it working. thanks for any help.
i thought i seen one at the sprint store, i may be incorrect on that though.
ICS = No. Gingerbread = maybe
The ICS roms have it disabled AFAIK. (I've tested on CM9).
It *might* work on a Gingerbread rom but my general impression is that the kernel support isn't there. I got my adapter off Ebay and I don't think there's anything special one brand you have to have to make this work. But I could be wrong.
really? i was under the impression we deff had decent support for usb host mode but by after reading ur reply it seems as if that is completely opposite

It was originally marketed as having the potential to have USB Host but it has never actually been implemented. My understanding is that it could be done but it would require a custom kernel to make it happen.
