[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?

Not sure what you mean by "messed up on every rom" it works as it should on my ROM. Please explain further..

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).

[ROM] Jelly Bean Gnex Port Alpha [6/30/12][v0] Discontinued

ANDROID MAISTER'S

Jelly Bean Gnex Port
The Andromadus Team is working on Jb from source, best posible way to expirience jellybean as it should be, follow there progress/releases here
​
Here it is guys jb for our beloved g2, this rom is based on the gnex jellybean leak that we saw couple days ago, right now rom is as useless as the word could posibly describe it, the rom boots just fine, but it seems the launcher does not like being render in software mode so it crashes non stop, i tried other launcher they dotn seem to work ether, im just posting this so maybe someone else can help me, to ether get launcher working in software mode or getting egl acceleration working, for this will we mostlikely need a 3.0 kernel.
Again bare in mind this is pretty much useless, and its not much fun to use, untill we solv the launcher issue, dont expect this to be a daily driver any time soon
Working:
Touchscreen forgot to mention this
It renders and reaches lockscreen thats about it, im sure i can fix more, but theres no point if we cant get the launcher working.
Not working

read description i did, it does not work, im guessing its jb was not meant to be used in software mode, thats why the launcher crashes.

I want to say that aside from the fact that it's on the DZ (which is a phone I own and use), the best thing about this thread are the advertisements on the bottom of the uploadhouse.com website.

That's not nice of you at all....
The thread proves that, unlike what a lot of people who knows little to nothing about programming say, JB can be ported to the G2 and it can boot.
First thing first. Stuffs come later.
@siulmagic: awesome at least it boots!

@siulmagic dont sell yourself short! It takes a lot to get something like this to boot! I am sure after a while someone will get something else to work. Like taz , he is a great porter!

lol i did not see those ads on the website, will upload somewere else, my bad haha.

I knew it was only a matter of time, n they said this wasn't possible? Sure there's issues and bugs but its still in the alpha stage.

yes. I just used it and was able to turn the phone on/off, pull the notification bar down, turn off/on the screen, and get to the recent apps screen. That is just about it. I didnt get any type of signal or data. and wasnt able to get to the settings from the statusbar.

Amazing !! Thanks !!

I said "ASIDE FROM THE FACT". you misinterpreted.

I would have thought JB would have taken another year for anything to be on Desire Z.

I'm just learning these past 3 years and by no means unfamiliar with personal ports from other devices but took a look at doing something similar for my device for personal use and was humbled very quickly. It's the accomplishing of seemingly impossible tasks large well funded corporations don't bother tackling by one user who solves it on their free time that make me truly love open technology. Kudos. Keep it Up. Many Thanks!

[Q] I look for a rom that works correctly the screen mirroring, any rom I advise?

I look for a rom that works correctly the screen mirroring, any rom I advise?I´ve t999

I'd guess any touchwiz based rom should work. Many others probably have similar functionality built in. Search each rom thread, or pick out the ones you like and ask in the thread if you can't find the answer first.

and by the way... using triangle away and putting the original rom, I stopped working screen mirroring and not is because it connects prefect on television but the minute without me doing anything is disconnected and I get message of... screen mirroring is stopped, and not be the because...Some advice? I put another rom?
advise any rom for my t999.

If its used by or related to Samsung's AllShare apps, it may be a DRM vs root issue. Its just a guess though. Ive never used this so i dont know much about it.

Any Custom ROM (better 4.4 or higher) supporting MHL to TV?

Hi All,
I really need the MHL function of the Note 2 to be connected to TV's HDMI. But I cannot find any custom ROM supporting it.
I tried the CM11, SlimKat, ... None of them has MHL. (well it's weird that SlimKat on Sprint Galaxy S3 supporting MHL, but Note 2 version doesn't)
I'll appreciate if anyone can give some idea on this issue. Just any CUSTOM (not stock) 4.4+ ROM having the MHL support.
Thanks.

Hi,
MHL function is available only in Stock based custom ROMs. Eg, Omni ROM.

Thank you for the reply.
Since the Omni Rom thread had been closed, can you advice here what are the advantages of the Omni Rom, now that it's stock-based? Or why not just use the stock ROM?
And is there any other Stock based ROM with good reputation? In fact I only care the stock functions like MHL, PEN, ...
Thanks again.

Well the OmniROM thread said it doesn't support MHL since it's not the TouchWiz based Rom.

I have no clue what makes you think Omni is a stock based rom. Omni is an aosp based rom. Stock based roms are based off of touchwiz which will have mhl/hdmi along with full spen functions.
So for the l900 you would need to use rwilcos stock based rom, Alliance, or Community rom.

It's Omega ROM. Sorry, got confused between the names Omni and Omega and typed as Omni.
You can check Omega ROM. Google it. I guess they have their own website.

Thanks but seems like the Omega rom only supports N7100, not Sprint SPH-L900.
There are many cases the Sprint version Note 2 was excluded from the custom rom developing.
Interesting but regretful.

my device is Note 2 LTE t0lte
and I have similar needs for MHL too.
I tried slimKat 4.4.4 build 9.0.................................it doesnt work
liquidsmooth LS-LP-v4.0..............................................doesnt work
omni-4.4.4-NIGHTLY..........................................................doesnt work
[5.0.2][OFFICIAL]Team UB ROM...............................doesnt work
[4.4.2] AllianceRom..............................................................doesnt work
[SaberMod] CM12+ Unofficial Build
(this one states it supports HDMI)...............still doesnt work

I know 100% that Alliance and Community rom both work with mhl/hdmi output on the l900 (sprint note 2). You can also try DN3 which also works. I use this feature all the time. I use the media dock and have hdmi, keyboard, and mouse connected. No aosp rom has mhl compatibility!!
If you are having issues with touchwiz roms and mhl these are a few things to check.
1. Mhl adapter needs to be designed specifically for Samsung device
2. You need external power supply for mhl to work (needs to be 2 amp output)
When you connect to your device and TV device should display hdmi connected.

Can you please give a working link for the "Alliance and Community rom" of SPH-L900?
I did search hard but didn't even get a download place for the Sprint version Note II.
Please note we better say a ROM of 4.4+, instead of any JB or older version, which was too old to be used.
Thanks.

Thank you for the list that complete. I eventually found someone on the same boat but more diligent
But I felt more pathetic with your info. It's really ridiculous to exclude MHL out of the custom ROMs.
Just saw another mention of "Alliance and Community rom", and asked again for the source. Let's see if there's any surprise.

The reason custom (aosp) roms dont have mhl is because Samsung wont release the source code for the drivers. Without drivers things wont work.

Hello, thank you for your reply :good:
I'm sure my mhl adaptor is working ok as i could connect to TV on stock rom no trouble at all.
In testing hdmi mhl output on Alliance rom, i could see the screen being projected to TV, however it only lasted for a few seconds, and then my phone got frozen while tv screen was going black/blank. I can't figure out what went wrong........
Also, when trying those different roms, i always did a full wipe......

I know how you feel.......i myself googled a lot too.....but it's just not going anywhere......very frustrating indeed.
I even tried miracast function. In cm roms, i think it's called cast screen. But still no good luck.
With stock rom, it only works when it's not rooted.
If rooted, then hdcp has to be disabled. I tried but in vain.
With cm12 roms, i googled and found out it's not supported yet.
With cm11, there seems to be a fix for cast screen. But it still didn't work........

Thank you so much for the link.
The MHL works on this version!
But seems like the sPen function not working, since there's no "copy/cut" option pops up when I clipped an enclosed area from the screen.
Do I have to use TW native launcher / web browser (I'm using Nova Launcher and Dolphin browser) to enable this function?
I wish it's just a matter of configuration, since I assume either sPen or MHL shall be wholly supported by this TW based ROM.
I'll appreciate someone can verify this sPen symptom, and give some advice.
Thanks.

It is a give and take thing. Community is not a stock n2 rom. It is actually parts of n2, n3, and s5. The only thing left to fix on Community is the clipping function for the spen. Only I have quit working on Touchwiz roms.
So long answer short. It is a rom issue not a problem with user setup.
