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

I have an EVO 4g & an HDMI cable. However, not sure how to get the video from the video to appear on the TV..
Hook small end of the hdmi cable into phone, then plug into tv, change the channel. Lol. Every tv has different settings so its going to be on one of the main like the channel you play games on or use it for cable or what. Just flip through your channel settings and make sure to check if anything poped up on your phone about it
On my tv anyway, I have to select input, then hdmi 3. Yours will depend on which hdmi hookup you used.

Are you stock, what ROM are you using?

Do you have an HDMI cable or a micro HDMI cable? (does one end fit into the phone?)
If your using a stock ROM with a stock kernel you will only be able to display video from youtube and the video app. To mirror the display from your phone you will need to flash a different kernel. This is assuming that you are rooted of corse. I like the plane old poonsense 2.2.3 kernel. Maybe there are better kernels out there, but this one has never given me any problems. I've tried others and they didn't play well with my phone. Get kernel manager in the play store, or marker or whatever it's called now. It will give you a list of compatible kernels for your phone.

The best evo kernel is lionfish. It has hdmi mirroring and great battery life. Made for sense roms

Im not on sense...Im using the MIUI ROM w/savage zen kernel 2.2.1 Its been the best performing ROM in every way for me. But when I connect the phone to the TV I get nothing...lol Do I need a separate program on my phone to make it work?

You need to have a kernel that supports hdmi out, not sure if that rom/kernel will work. The stock rom definitely works, as far as I know all custom kernels from the latest OTA don't have it working.
What app are you trying to stream from? You may need an HDMI mirroring app.
I am trying to watch sum movies thru QQ player. Is there a better video player on the market? Where can I get an HDMI mirroring app? I really dont want to go back to stock ROM...MIUI has been great.
bump anyone?
If you do not want to go back to stock entirely, investigate some of the dual boot methods. You can boot into another ROM watch your vids and boot back into Miui.
Can do the same without the dual boot specific steps by setting up the ROM that will play vids and nandroiding it,etc

If you want to do HDMI mirroring, I think you have to go back to a froyo 2.2 rom and use TeamWin HDMI mirroring app and kernel. Froyo is the last rom I heard that works on, I haven't seen anything that they got it working on GB.
What is the easiest and fastest way to get HDMI working? What ROMs supports it?
Any cm7 based rom works. Decks reloaded works amazing with HDMI.
Download the hdmwin app from the market and grant super user permission. Also download the v8 deamon that comes with it. Set the settings to route audio, CPU to max, keep screen on and make sure you plug it in when you are mirroring. You will need to restart after the initial settings of the settings. Plug in select mirror and if doesn't work right away take the cable out and plug it in again. It can be stubborn sometimes.
I use it all the time while having the evo synced to a wiimote to control it.
platinumPenguin i tried using HDMI win but it doesnt work..How did you get it working? ANd what is v8 deamon i dont see it in the market??

Yo Pivo flash this thru recovery on any sense rom and you straight.
hey guys. So I recently put some of my movies on my pc via the digital download codes i received when buying the movies. I have been trying for a good two hours now to set up the ability to stream these files to my SGSIII using AllShare Play. These files, no matter how much I manipulate their location on my pc, will not show up under the videos tab on the AllShare App. They do show up though, under the files tab. But all i can do from there is download them straight to my phone. I cannot stream them. On this screen though, there is a little "N" inside a orange square. I dont know if that is the issue and I cannot find any info on that symbol. So basically I am wondering how do I set up these files (all are over like 600MB) to stream to my phone from my pc, via AllShare Play? All help is appreciated. Thank you guys.
I think you need the All Share Cast dongle to work with the All Share app. I've tried putting digital copies from DVDs or blurays onto my S3 and haven't been able to get them play like that either. So beats me.. frustrating. But anyway, this is the themes and apps section. This should be asked in the Q&A sub forum.

Is it possible to run the old Allshare app from the S2 on the S3, as it is far better.
Thanks

Allshare play.
You must install allshare play to your pc and than you can connect with gs3 i use dice player for watching movies from pc.

I have tried multiple miracast receivers (a samsung TV and a push2tv) and neither one will show video on netflix. I do get audio, but no video. I have tried some AOSP based ROMs and Stock sense based as well and nothing seems to work. Does anyone else have any experience with this or information as to why it might not be working? My first assumption was HDCP but it looks like others are reporting that netflix works fine for them via miracast (although most of that was from old reviews with different phones).
To be more specific, just the video itself is black, i can still see the player UI components and other system things, just not netflix video. I've also tested Plex, Youtube, and Twitch, and all of those work just fine. However i don't believe any of those streams are protected, so that could be a differentiator.
Bump.
I'm having the same exact problem on my Nexus 6. Please help!
ezcast & miracast
Found this thread - only one that deals with hdcp - anyways the support site for ezcast is stating that since I have used a custom rom (CM and Sense) that the HDCP was removed off my phone.
Is there a fix for the netflix/miracast issue? Different ROM?
Just looking for some help.
thanks

Some problem here with Zenfone 2.
I have this problem with a ezcast dongle.
But it does work fine on my LG webos 2.0 TV. So I think the problem is with ezcast app.
Hello all im after a simple question answered if its at all possible and maybe a little direction on how its acheived.
I have an old galaxy s4 GT-i9505 with a broken screen running as a makeshift android tv.
Its plugged directly into a TV through mhl and serves its purpose very well.
Its mainly used for Netflix/Kodi or any other Tv catchup type app.
Its currently being controlled a number of ways, mainly with a amazon firestick Bluetooth remote, (s4 runs much better than a stick BTW) but certain apps (Netflix, various tv apps) dont recognise the centre button.
However this isnt an issue as I have different methods to control apps that dont use my remote too well (droidmote).
What my main question is, when installing an app say Netflix on an android phone how can I get the app to think its being installed onto an android tv device like FireTV,firestick,nexus, or any generic android tv box?
Is there a way to modify my rom to enable fooling detection of Android tv?
If this is not possible is there any android tv rom I might be able to use on the gt-i9505?
Last question Id like answered, is there anyway I can map the buttons on my Bluetooth remote to ger the centre button working?
I would be very grateful if any devs who may read this help out by letting me know if any of this is possible, ive exhausted Google search but came up with nothing.
Thanks alot.
Just to add to this, am I able to use gapps for Android tv? Or should I use the micro option?
Again really appreciate any help or pointers.
