Does LineageOS support MHL - HDMI out ? - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Does LineageOS support MHL - HDMI out?
I have tried it on my HTC M9 with Resurrection Remix and LineageOS but nothing appears on the TV screen. On an other M9 with the Stock Rom it works instantly.
So, does the custom-roms support this function?
If someone got a link to such a discussion so please share it.
thanks
.

MHL used to work on my M8 on Venom, which was based on an HTC image. However, since getting burned by a bug present in all the OEM based ROMs, I switched to Lineage and lost MHL
Still works on my wife's M9 with Venom.
I hope there can be a fix because I actually use MHL on trips since casting is frequently difficult or impossible to get working on hotel wifi, and besides the fact that screen mirroring over any network is always going to have quality issues.

Problem with MHL / HDMI cable

Hi, I just bought a MHL cable but it doesn't work, let me explain:
after connecting everything needed (phone to the adapter, HDMI from TV to adapter, charger to adapter) the TV shows an error that is missing signal.
When I connect the phone, it turns the screen horizontal, but nothing happens on the TV.
If it could help, I mount the last version of Resurrection Remix Rom...
Maybe, should I do something from the phone to start the video/audio transmission?
Any ideas? Thank you in advance
i know thats in Resurretion Remix have an application called TvOut....
but try to read in mhl manual for the steps to work, but i thing its just plug n play
MHL works only on stock ROMs.

thank you!I found out that the tvout process is not yet supported for the jelly beal versions of resurrection remix but I flashed back the last ICS version (2.6.1 RR) and everything is working now!
Here's my issue with MHL adapter:
It works well if I connects directly to my TV. But the TV sound sucks so I tried to connect to my home theatre system (which has Audio Return channel + 2 hdmi inputs). But what happens is that it's doing connected/disconnected literally every second.
Is there a solution for this?
thank you friend

Sixaxis and Slimport on Cyanogenmod

Hi, I just got this device and noticed that Sixaxis is not working due to some Bluetooth protocols not being available on the device, but i've read that installing some custom ROMS like Cyanogenmod could help making it work, has anybody tried it?
Also i've read that Slimport has some issues when on cyanogenmod (on the nexus 7 at least) so , again, anybody on CyanogenMod having any issue with Slimport?
Thank you very much for your help.

[Help] Does Miracast work?

I have an Australian HTC 10 running LOS 14.1-20170601 nightly, and a JVC Kenwood DDX9017DABS head unit in my car. I've not been able to get the Cast feature to find the unit, or any other Miracast apps. I even tried restoring a stock backup and that also couldn't find it, yet the Samsung S7 the installer used worked just fine.
Has anyone managed to get Miracast to work?

Treble GSI Question

Hi, as the title says, had a question about using GSI's now that treble is available for our phone. I understand that in order to use treble, we must first flash the newest build of Lineage, and then install a GSI. My question is, if Lineage is installed, does it somehow serve as a base that the GSI installs over, or is installing it only pertinent for updating the partition layout? I guess more specifically, if I install the new Lineage, and then flash a GSI over it, will I experience the same bugs in Lineage in any potential GSI installed?
In my case, it's with android auto, since it doesn't seem to work/project over USB with any car I've tested on any of the currently available ROMs. The app works in Lineage, and the phone can connect via Bluetooth to a car, but it doesn't recognize that it's physically connected to a car at all via USB, so it fails to project to the vehicle's display, meaning I need to constantly look down to where it's plugged in at to interact with it instead of through the vehicles built in touch screen, keeps me going back to stock honestly because it's a feature I need access to.
If I install a GSI where auto is properly working, should it work for me as well or no because Lineage doesn't support it currently and that was flashed before the GSI was?
Thanks

I think that is kernel side as our HDCP goes to the greybus instead of USB-C for the projector mod. I know through wireless it works. Tried it on my friend's 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe.
GSI's will have the same bugs via vendor and boot. Also, unless the GSI supports moto mods, those won't work either.

Oh, I didn't think motomods had anything to do with android auto. It doesn't use the pins on the back or anything, just usb, but I can't project via USB, it just brings up the USB select menu (charge, mtp, ptp) and neither of my cars support wireless android auto. I didn't think there were any cars out yet that actually support wireless android auto.
Oh well, guess stock it is for now, thanks for the info.
Edit:
@Uzephi hey, sorry to be a bother, you said you were able to use wireless android auto on a friend's vehicle. I'm assuming that means it's enabled on custom ROMs since it doesn't appear to be on stock. Do you happen to think a mod like this would work?

Just curious, because if I could use wireless projection for it that would work just as well to me.

Android Auto uses video over USB. Our ancillary video output is rerouted to the greybus for the projector. Only way to get SElinux to work correctly on aosp was to keep that routing and nix USB video.
I honestly don't know. I did it for kicks to see if his Android Auto app on his Santa Fe would Sync with my phone and it did. It wasn't any projection, it was just the two apps talking to each other. Is that how yours is or is your phone running android auto and the radio is taking the phone's screen as a projection? Because I could be wrong. That is the only thing I could think of why yours wouldn't work.

Ahh gotcha, that makes more sense now.
I can pair the device to the vehicle over bluetooth and use the android auto app that way to play music and stuff, but yeah, normally it takes the phone's screen as projection, so I can use the car's 7in display for android auto without having to play around with my phone. Understanding that video over USB is disabled makes sense as to why auto isn't working. I'm guessing this means it won't work on custom ROMs without a custom kernel, and that would have to disable SELinux and reroute video to USB, correct?
Thanks for all the info, always good to learn something.

Yes that is correct. The Z2 development crew tried but the workaround would have been messy and not true SElinux enforcing which makes me wonder about stock rom tbh.

Miracast / Screen Mirroring / Wireless screen not working on Android Pie

Hi,
I received today my phone, I updated to Android Pie, and now I see that I cannot discover my TV which supports miracast. I also tried to switch off Wlan.
Of course I considered downgrading to Android Oreo, but I read it's a bit troublesome (dual sim stops working when downgrading).
By the way I'm asking to xioami forums too (I cannot post external link), but I don't think I can expect a fast fix
Any idea? Thanks.
