Hello all! sorry my first post is a question.
I have a GT3 8.0, and love it. It is the first tablet and Android device I have owned and it's taking a little while to get used to. I have rooted it and installed arshull's great galatab kernel and rom, which made a huge difference and made it much more like a pc in terms of flexibility and modability.
One element has me totally stumped, and that is the whole mhl/hdmi thing.
Essentially I have full screen pauses when watching movies and the Eurosport Player and other streaming services. I had a similar problem on my PC which I also have connected to my TV and solved it by changing the 'refresh rate' of the GPU. Homever I'm having problems figuring out the same thing on my tab. I've tried overclocking and underclocking to see if that changes how it stutters but nothing. I'm hoping you guys and gals cab answer a couple questions for me?
1. What does the tab 3 8.0 output through mhl? is is 1080p or 720p and what is the refresh rate?
2. Can either of these be changed either app or kernel level?
3. Does the tab draw two separate screens or just its display which is then sent out tot the tv ( ive tried benchmarkimg with the mhl in and out and there is only a slight difference)?
4. my telly is not the newest and is limited to 50hz. Does this make a difference?
Any and all help is greatfully received. I've been programming and messing about with computers for years so a more technical solution is achievable, but I was hoping that someone had already done it!
Regards,
John

i recently set up remote desktop viewing on my tilt 2 (stock At&t rom), and i'm curious if anyone knows of a way to share my desktops screen to my tilt 2, with a decent framerate (anything above 15fps would be great)
i imagine it will have to be over lan.
(also, i've been searching and installing programs for the last 2 days, just so everyone knows i'm actually trying and not just lazily posting questions)
thanks so much for any help
i'd also be happy to help anyone who's trying to set up remote desktop for their tilt 2 :]
T2 Remote Touch
I use T2 Remote Touch.
I don't know what the frame rate is, but there's different modes to speed up transfer. It's done via wifi and you can remote control from anywhere!
You can find it here.
wow, thanks so much, this is actually a useful program, thanks alot!
Is there any way to do a screencast on an Android device... in particular the Nexus 7? I'm trying to put together a video and I wanted a clip that showed the U.S. and it zoomed into a specific city. Problem is, on the computer Google Earth is somewhat choppy despite having nearly brand new hardware, and Google Maps just does an instant snap to that location. Google Maps on my N7 on the other hand works JUST AS I WOULD LIKE... but I'm not sure how to capture it?
Any idea?

Screencast captures your phone screen at high frame rates into a high quality MPEG4 video with audio. It can also take snapshots of your screen by holding the search key on your phone.

I want something like this, not to record a screencast, but to use as a way of having video out in lieu of not having hdmi. I have a pc hooked up to my hdmi display and was looking at the options. This app sounds like the best but doesn't work yet with tegra 2/3.
How fast is it with other devices? Like could a game be played at a smooth frame rate? Does it allow to stream live and not record a video?
Are there any other ways of doing this?
I've been searching for a while now with no luck. I record gameplay on my GNote with the afore mentioned app but seeing as the developer has all but vanished I'm guessing we won't be seeing Tetra support.
You'd almost think Nvidia would make an app to do this just so Tetra fans could make gameplay videos, thereby promoting their devices.

There are some demo videos of stuff coming... Nivdia has one showing a playbook to a TV that has the Miracast protocol
and ESR labs has the following
Hopefully soon...
Unless you already have a TV with it built in, you will need a some some sort dongle that has WiFi and s HDMI output. I just got a raspberry pi to be used with the ESR labs Android Transporter when it come available.

I just stumbled upon those videos yesterday. Very interesting stuff. I think I may grab a couple of raspberry pi's. I'm in Canada and I couldn't find it in stock right now. I wish they would build a cheap enclosure for it. I put a post on their website if they plan on making a linux client and not just for the pi. I would think it wouldn't take too much to make a generic version. I also noticed some hdmi outputs on tablets don't provide 1:1 mirroring. For ex, acer tablets cutoff the bottom menu. This I believe is for video playback, which makes sense, but I hope it's an option or in the spec of miracast to offer 1:1. I saw a TI demo of miracast as well, and they make mention of the display showing one thing and the tablet showing something different typical of normal wired hdmi outputs. Nvidia also has demo's of miracast as you linked, but I hope they make a windows client. It'll be a ways off before it's standard on TV's and it sounds like there will be dongle's available, but a lot of people have computers hooked up to their displays so it would be nice if there is a complete software solution as well.
Android Transporter for the Nexus7 and Raspberry PI
Hi all,
the video you showed in the one post is our old demo video.
Since yesterday we have a public preview. please see http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter-for-the-nexus-7-and-the-raspberry-pi/

Is it possible without rooting and without PC? :crying:
(I'm looking for the way to make video lesson (like Khan Academy's) direct on my tablet)

No, it's not possible. you need root or a pc (actually the root way to do it does not work atm)
Android 4.2 is supposed to include native support for Miracast devices. So we just need the Miracast set top boxes.
Does anyone know if Miracast carries over Audio?
I just installed Screencast on my N7 with CM10.1 grouper nightly 12182012.
When I try to screen capture video in landscape or in portrait the audio saves properly, but the video is a static hodgepodge of TWRP Touch recovery in a purplish sepiatone
yo b1LL did you bother reading Screencast app description? doesnt support Nexus 7 nor any tegra 3 based devices
Here's one
There's another thread that has one, and it works for screencasting but it really only gets 1-2 fps. So if you're desperate:

Hello,
I wander if anyone can help me.
I am trying to connect my Gal Note 10.1 2014 to a blue ray/dvd player and use it actually as a TV screen (which is broken).
I did some research but I can't find any solution as, of course, the majority of the people are interested in watching the content of their tab on a bigger screen or prefer to rip.
Any help is much appreciated

Thank you. I will rest my case then!
Well I think there may be a solution but i'm still trying to find it. i would not say it is impossible. If you look the app DSLR controller you are able to use your smartphone or tablet as a monitor.
There are things like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UVC-Android...ux-iOS-Windows-usb-Capture-Card-/161108508329

So I would not say impossible. I'm trying to use my tablet as a camcorder monitor like the first video for my other Sony Pro Cams.
Hello, I have a slight issue with my Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi (flo). Currently running on Slim 6.0.1 alpha but to be honest it was the same on CM13 Nightly and Paranoid OS.
Whats the nature of the issue:
While playing 1080p youtube videos after every 10 seconds there is a half second frame stop - mildly annoying
If I watch my series on my tablet with VLC/BS Player/MX Player this POS does the same even with 720p - very annoying
There is nothing more just the occasional lag but as it is a 2 years old tablet with a 3 years old hardware I guess that's okay.
I tried a bunch of things (factory reset, wipe, reinstall, another OS) however, no progress yet. Since I am out of ideas would you be so kind and advise a possible solution?
Thank you in advance! (And pardon my English)
Please try the following:
download SPMC (alt) (Kodi)
install and run it
in SPMC install YouTube addon
Test it out and let us know.
My intuition tells me that the problem is WIFI/network related rather than hardware/rom related. One easy way to confirm this is to download the entire video to your tablet (maintaining the 1080 or 720 quality respectively), playing it locally, and seeing if you still get the frame drops.
I suspect that you won't.
If you don't, then it's time for communications diagnostics and optimizations. There's a slew of things that might help, from the simple (like turning off bluetooth), to the complex (hacks to increase communication buffer size), and so on.
Well, SPMC works with offline 720p mkv, now it is barely slowing however, I cannot set to watch youtube videos in 1080p. The default is 1080p and asks the resolution but the max is 720p.
Yup, definitely sounds like a bandwidth issue to me.
My fiancee has the exact same tablet, she bought it 2 months later at the same place. The only difference between the 2 devices is the OS. Her's runs on stock and mine runs on Slim 6, the stock plays videos online/offline flawlessly. Since mine is struggling with both I believe this is not a bandwidth issue but I am not an expert. Probably worth mentioning that my Meizu M1 Note and her Huawei P8 Lite runs videos smoothly.
Would it be a possible solution to reinstall the stock OS? Yes, I am that desperate.
BTW: Thank you!

Sure, please get factory image or use NRT to flash stock OS.
This is a simple question, but very irritating to me because I could not find much for answers since every update to the FireTV software gives me less and less options. Anyways, I want ot change the resolution of my TV down to 480 to play my old PS2 games on the TV, but the only trick that I know of (holding rewind and up to go to some resolution settings) only gave me the options of 2160p, 1080p, or auto.
Unfortunately, there is no way of rooting my TV that I know of as I have been looking for one since I got it, so I am hoping that someone here has had a similar issue and could help me out without root permissions. I appreciate any help that you guys can give.
PS: I would like to see if I can get the resolution changed without messing with up scaling adapters since they can be a pain
great sir
