Hello
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I have read that there are performance issues when running games via a SlimPort to HDMI adaptor.
If this is the case I was wondering if it related to HDCP, or the type of ROM your running. I am currently running the latest official ROM, and would be interested in getting a cable only if there is not a issue. If anyone knows of a work around (that could include a different display type e.g. VGA, or installing a custom ROM) I would be grateful if you could let me know.
Thanks.

Does anyone know if HDMI works out the box on any of them, You dont need a special kernel to use HDMI out.... I watch movies on my TV all the time with the gallery.
Which Rom are u looking at, any of the roms based off the EVO software hdmi should work, a lot of the cm roms have working hdmi, the ports probably won't have hdmi unless the phone it was ported from had hdmi,
You might want put what kind of Rom ur looking for like gingerbread with sense 2.1 and working hdmi, (don't think that exists) although I got my phone recognizing hdmi I can't get the phone to output anything, one of these days I will dig into the logcat and see if I can find anything useful

Hey guys-
I am looking to create a sudo htpc out of my I747(ATT GS3) and have a couple of questions. Im hoping someone can answer them and/or have done the same thing as I am trying to do.
1. How does the US variant stack up in hdmi out performance compared to the i9300? Ive tried searching xda as well as youtube for the answer
2. I am also planning on connecting a couple peripherals: a bluetooth gaming controller, keyboard, and mouse for pc type browsing. What keyboard and mouse do you guys recommend for that specific purpose?
3. What kind of apps are used to connect a controller like the sixaxis controller to use for gaming( emulation and supported native games)? Also, how is the gaming performance, both visual and latency using the controller on the US variant Galaxy?
I appreciate all of the input I receive from you guys.
I looked around but didn't see anything. Really hoping I'm just missing something on here somewhere and there is a way to use HDMI out on desktop dock to stream superbowl onto a TV. ^^;
If you are talking about the Samsung portait dock with HDMI connector then yes, there is. You'll have to flash a custom kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780481
I can't tell you which kernels have this mod build in but it says Franco's would work in the thread.
On searching the CM10.1 thread I found a post that said HDMI out was working but I haven't been able to make it work myself. Can anyone confirm whether HDMI out is supported in the CM10.1 nightly builds and if it is, how to get it to work? I have the Samsung HDMI adapter.
Thanks!
It depends on the kernel, not the rom
I've been searching and haven't found an answer yet, I am looking for a way to play movies from my phone to the TV. I know there are ways to stream shows from netflix and hulu but I want to play movies that are physically on my sd card. I can do it with TW roms with my hdmi cable but I want to use an AOSP kitkat rom and haven't found a way to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There are quiet some apps like media house that will do it. VLC Player is another example. Some of the AOSP Roms have screen sharing baked in. So you could explore that as well.
Does screen sharing allow audio output? I forget exactly what I did but at one point I was able to mirror the screen but had no audio. I don't know anything about mediahouse, i'll look into that next. Thanks for the suggestions.
Have any of you tried something like this with an AOSP rom? It seems similar to what I already have so I'm wondering if it still needs touchwiz drivers to work?

Audio issues are typically due to incorrect Galaxy S2 adaptor or asian make copy is used. I will suggest to try samsung original as you linked.
I have not tried the device since my TV supports DLNA via an Android TV stick. See my signature.
