MHL on AOSP ROMs? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Does anyone have the mhl cable and have they tried it on cm9/10/aokp? I want to buy one but I want it to work on whatever ROM i'm running.

bump

If anyone sees this thread it works on cm10

Did you use an 11 pin or a 5 pin adapter?

5 pin adapter

I'm guessing it would work. I used samsungs 11 to 5 pin adapter and my current mhl cable.
EDIT: audio doesn't seem to be working for me but it might just be my mhl cable.

yeah, first connect the a/c cable then the phone and after the hdmi in the mhl. if it doesn't work try another combo, i haven't used it in a while
I couldn't get this working either for those that it is working on - which adapter are you using?

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 Desktop dock.

Anyone know if this will work out of the box with the GN? If not would it just require new software or is it hardware incompatible?

I would really love to use this thing if anyone has any idea.

If you mean a basic micro USB dock (like the one here) there's no reason it wouldn't work.

Specifically I mean this one. I like the USB connections and HDMI out. I know that the GN supports MHL and USB host, I just don't know if it all works at once.

Netflix video output low res and compressed!

I have a MHL hdmi adapter and it works great with everything but netflix. I really want to use it for netflix but the video looks horrible on the TV. Again everything else out of the phone looks great. Games, movies, web browser. Just for some reason netflix wont output correctly. Any ideas on how to make this work? Thanks.
I have the same problem

it's just the Netflix app. Other devices suffer from this issue as well. I've seen a video where the Galaxy S3 did it as well.
I have a ASUS Infinity Pad (TF700T) which is running Android 4.1.1 too, and Netflix doesn't do it. The big difference between it and the GN2 it uses a microHDMI instead of MHL.
Same problem here with both the smart dock and the samsung mhl cable.
Netflix does NOT have this problem on the evo lte which uses mhl*.
* Regular standard 5 pin usb mhl not this retarded non standard proprietary special 9 pin samsung thing they somehow get to call mhl even though it's a completely different spec.

9 pin? ??
Also I read 5 pin is only for hdmi out Samsung’s 11 pin is for hdmi out AND USB OTG.

Sorry misremembered. You're right 11 pin.
A standard 5 pin mhl cable does not work on the note2.

Yeah I looked it up just in case and yeah they use a different pin setting but turns out better for us since we can use the features of the smart dock

MHL support

Does the Nexus 5 support MHL? The G2 support 'slimport' but not MHL from what I understand.

No, Slimport and MHL are two different standards.
I'll plug in my mhl in a minute and see what happens.

Does anyone know if MHL has been incorporated into any custom ROMs? I have an MHL cable and an allshare cast dongle - neither work and I want to display on-device videos on my telly.
Cheers.

Not sure but i think the n4 running cm 10 worked with allshare, it might do the same on the n5 running cm11

Nope, sorry, simply not compatible.
The pin-out mapping and the data transferred over the pins are different and the adapters are not "clever" enough to switch them.

[Q] HDMI Adapter Not working

So I've been using Jovy XTREMEPERIA S4 rom forever and just bought an hdmi adapter. When I plug it in the "connected to hdmi" message doesn't even show up. Anyone else using his rom have this issue?
You might want to try asking in the ROMS original thread.

Did you get a cheap one off e Bay or the samsung official 2.0 mhl adapter with the hologram on the box? There are fakes out there
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I have the 2.0 real one. It works on my wife's note 3. And I have the original one that worked on my s3. I haven't tested them yet on any other roms . That's my next step. Thanks.
You may have already checked but it is an 11-pin adapter right? The 7-pins don't work on the GS4.
