[Q] OTG support on Epic Touch

What am I missing? It's not working and I thought it was enabled natively? Any way to enable this without root? I could have sworn i saw a video review saying it was an included functionality. Thanks.
What cable are you using? Has that cable worked for you on another device? I ordered a cable for my xoom and it says it should work for the Epic Touch as well but I have yet to receive it to try.
I have the Motorola Xoom OTG and two eBay angled OTG cables. They work perfectly with my Xoom.
I looked in the dev section and it looks like non of the ROMs support this. I'm just confused and frustrated.

ICS mirroring question

Just upgraded to official ICS and can't get mirroring to work. Has anyone tried it? If you've gotten it to work, could you share how you did. Thanks guys.

I haven't heard of mirroring, can you explain what it is?

Displaying on your TV screen exactly what is displaying on your phone. It requires the use of an adapter.
Exactly. Has anyone tried to use it since upgrading to ics? I use it a lot and it seems to only work on gingerbread. Thanks.

Confirmed not working for me as well, running this rom. I'd been running CM9 for a month or so and was hoping that going back to a stock(ish) rom would restore this functionality, but I'm optimistic that it'll be patched soon. I've used my MHL adapter maybe 5 times at most so it's not any kind of deal breaker, but I'd still like to use it!

Are you talking about doing this through a MHL Adapter?

Yep. Was working with adapter on gingerbread but not on ics.

Yes it is working on ICS Touchwiz based roms, I tried it on blu Kuban and wicked sensation. I was using it the other day to watch the hangover 2. I know the mhl adaptor doesn't work on AOSP roms right now. The adaptor I'm using is the Samsung MHL adaptor, that has a port for plugging in the USB charger and it's required to have it plugged in. The phone has to be charging while in use.

I have the Menotek MHL adapter and it does not work on ICS...
I get EDIDRead() errors in my Logcat and then it reverts to DVI mode (which evidently doesn't work over an HDMI cable... go figure)
I haven't tried factory reset yet, so maybe it's a data issue...
Anyone with a Menotek adapter confirm workage on stock ICS?
cheap 6$ adapter from amazon here.. been working on all tw roms since early ics leaks. doesnt work on aosp YET.. we have source so id expect it to be fixed on aosp in the near future

[Q] i747 ROM that FULLY supports MHL

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone has had success with the Samsung MHL adapter with any custom ROMs. I have an Android mirroring device in my car so my navigation screen shows whatever the phone shows and I couldn't get it to connect right with three different ROMs (Slimbean, LiquidJelly and Panadroid or whatever thats called). I went back to stock and it connected just fine.
If there are no ROMs that will work what is the best way to update stock ROMs using Odin? I see this page here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 but I am just concerned it wont work correctly with the MHL adapter. The thing for my car cost me mucho bucks so I will sadly have to unroot and stay stock if I cant find a ROM capable of working for me.
MHL works fine for me with Slim.

CM10 Nightlies from before October 10th work fine. They broke something after that and I eventually went with a stock ROM so I could keep using my phone with my Appradio. I'm not sure if it was ever fixed. Also, the KT kernel seemed to have it broken as well. Dunno if that was ever fixed.
I'm waiting the two days for JB to be officially released, and then I don't think I'll have to worry about using a non-stock ROM.

Are you using the Samsung 11 PIN MHL adapter? It shows up on the screen but constantly cuts in and out.
And JB comes out in two days?

I'm not, I'm using a full on 11pin MHL adapter knockoff I got on eBay for $20. Haven't noticed any issues so far, granted I've also only used it for an hour or so.

MHL Connection

I just got a Menotek Mhl adapter and the phone recognizes the power from it but nothing happens on the TV or the phone when connected. There is no option to switch to hdmi and it doesn't happen automatically. Is our phone supported? Thanks for any help.

I've used it and it works fine. I had to reconnect the cable to get it to work but it works perfect.
It's not the adapter because my roommate's evo lte works just fine with it. I am rooted and unlocked running rooted zv9 ROM. Normally I'm good at troubleshooting. Can't figure this one out.

Man I've tried so many things already. I've had multiple friends use it now but I'm the only one with an LGOG. I thought you needed an extra adapter for the s3 but that worked as well. My phone accepts that its hooked to a charger but nothing else. I really want to play n64 and snes on my tv Lol!
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Well figured it out. The S3 didn't actually work. I got the 5 to 11 pin adapter and all is well. HD phone on the TV is pretty sweet!
Edit: Works for my buddy's S3. 11 pin does NOT fit LGOG. Still does not work with my phone at all.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
so the OG uses 11 pin MHL like samsung? I thought only S2/Note2 is using 11 pin.
I bought one off a guy on ebay named fourpairteledata for $8 with free shipping. There is no name on the unit and it feels cheaply built and only came in a plastic bag but it works perfectly and has a microusb port for the ac adapter.

ROMS that supports MHL HDMI & 4G.

Hi All,
Recently bought an unlocked S3 SGH-T999 to use with Net10 BYOP program and had to choose ATT due to my location so after playing around a bit I flashed to Liquid Smooth 2.2 and had lost 4G and lost MHL HDMI capabilties. I ended up flashing back to a stock rom so that I was able to have these functions working again but its pretty sad because I actually loved LiquidSmooth. The 4G is not as important to me as in my area, its says 4G but its not really 4G speeds if that makes any sense but what matters most is the HDMI part because I use it to stream Netflix to my tv's with the 11 pin MHL to HDMI cable I bought off Amazon. I have searched everywhere in these forums and cannot find a straight answer to what rom will do the trick for my instance so if anyone could answer this I would greatly appreciate it!!

I've stuck with the rooted stock ROM image to retain the MHL and Samsung Media Hub functionality. I believe the MHL works with the Infamous ROM, but I lost the ability to use the Media Hub.
I hope this helps.

Take a look at this ROM... Should be everything you're looking for.
