So all I wanna do is be able to use a mhl HDMI-type c adapter to mirror my z2 too much pioneer radio [emoji16] seems that all the talk is out of the box this phone will only cast/mirror with chrome cast . Then I heard can edit a line in build prop to get it to work .
What's my work around to get what I need working.
Using a HDMI -rca av converter cable and need a mhl adapter to mirror to my head unit .
But like mentioned in hopes there is a fix with the build prop that will enable mhl.
Anyone chime in or confirm?
And if so what do I need to edit .
Or do I need to ditch this phone that I love so much over a galaxy .
Unfortunately I prefer to use mirroring a little more for leisure needs watching show box...Netflix etc... In car on the touch screen over not having a device that can cast .

build.pro. I haven't tested HDMI but i did add it and I also added miracast support. I test miracast with my LG tv and it works.

Could it be posible to get "MirrorLink" working with this solution but adding a for this option?
Enabling MiraCast via build.prop on rooted phones is a regular thing, but enabling HDMI, that would be intresting.
If you're desperate for the HDMI, you can buy the MDK (Moto Mod development kit) around 130 Euro/USD and it has SlimPort on it (I'm using it occassionally as improvised DEX )

I have come up with nothing from Moto on whether the hardware can support USB C to HDMI or not, but I sure could use the wired functionality for use with AR glasses / no lag. Has anyone successfully enabled MHL on a Z or Z2 (or Z3)?

Sry, I seem to have expressed my concern incorrectly. I get the usb port #3 to work with ease. Display output is working fine. My problem is with the usb port #2, which i want to use in usb3(.1?) mode, which is not working for me with the github repos right now.

I'm trying to get Netflix to display on TV via HDMI output. Got a HDMI cable - and but no picture to HDTV when running the app on phone.
I did a google search - and read that the app needs to enable HDMI on this phone? Being that this is a new cable - I don't know if Netflix app enables HDMI on this phone - or if I have a bad cable that I need to swap out - or if I'm trying to do something with this phone - that it's just not capable of doing.
1) Does Netflix display via HDMI - with unrooted Evo 4G
2) Does Netflix display via HDMI with rooted EVO 4G
3) Is there a known app that works with HDMI - so I can test to see if my cable is any good?
Thanks

1) No, must have a kernel installed that supports HDMwIn. It'll mirror your phone, so that anything that you see on your screen will appear on your HDTV. I'm running CM7 with Tiamat kernel and am able to watch netflix with the cable.
2) Yes/No, the Evo was limited by the manufacturer so you'll need to use HDMwIn. Again, you'll still need a supported kernel. But now that you're rooted, you can flash the kernel.
3)HDMwIn. It works.
btw, I got my cable for $6, so you don't have to spend a grip

Hello!
As you may have noticed, some Kindle Fire ROMs have a Camera app built into them. Normally, this app is useless. I was thinking about this the other day and an idea occured to me. Would it be possible to plug in a USB webcam into the Fire via a USB OTG cable and have it be able to take pictures with the Camera app? Don't know if this is possible or not, just thought I'd ask. Thanks!
I'm fairly certain that this is impossible.
Feel free to try it if you like though.

Ah thats too bad. Would be awesome if this was possible.
Should be possible.....but I am not sure. As long as it is a webcam for Android devices....and it uses Micro-USB....It should work. Probably depends on your ROM.
i bought a Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter and i used a standard usb webcam to used skype, on twi_priv sgt7 jellybean rom, and it works!!!

Could you give me the model number of the cable and webcam and where you bought it? Also, does the Camera app work or just skype?

Would it be possible to use a different USB camera that has a microphone and have it work with Skype?
idk possibly, but i gave my camera and otg cable to my friend, i dont use my kindle with skype anymore, i use my new asus transformer! its pretty sweet

Really depends on how and where you want to use it. For home use, either one probably be OK. I don't think you can mirror with Chromecast (not sure about Miracast). Also, I've heard that results sometimes vary; some people have complained about audio delays with Miracast.
If you want to use your Android device to watch video somewhere other than at home (say, at a motel), Chromecast will probably not work because of the types of networks available at hotels. Miracast might work, but you would not be able to connect to the hotel's wi-fi network while using it.
Personally, I have a Xbox setup for streaming video at home that works great, so I mainly use my Android stuff while in hotels. For me, the best bet is a Slimport adapter. This will give you high quality video and will let you stream from a hotel wi-fi network or using 4G. Anything that you watch on your phone, you can watch using a Slimport adapter.

From my understanding, EZCast will mirror anything displayed on the source device to the TV but Chromecast is limited to specific apps. Is this correct?

I've just read this article which explains the differences:

I think I would go with Chromecast. Although I do have PS3 as my media streamer.

Hi guys
I know there are threat about this matter but none of them have any solution . As you know Samsung phones have smart view which can screen mirror and control your smart TV.
Nexus 5x doesn't recognize Mira cast devices and with changing build.prop althogh it can recognize the TV but unable to connect to it. Do you guys have any idea to solve this problem?
I'm sure there is a software way. Because there shouldn't be a hardware problem with Nexus 5x .
Did any one connect a Nexus 5x to Samsung TV?
I think it depends on the year of the Samsung TV. My 4K is a 2014 model and doesn't do screen cast or mirroring yet my in-laws is 2016 and I believe does work.

Miracast was removed with (I think) 6.0. It's a proprietary API.
There's a few people on the 6p forums trying to get it to work, with little success.
You can change the following in the build.prop to get the Samsung device to show up on the list, the phone connects, but it doesn't cast.
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
You also need to set Allow WiFi in the cast options.
BTW, the Smart View app is just a remote control app. It should work just fine, as long as your phone and TV are connected to the same network.
Edit: really should have read the op before replying, I basically said the same thing as you!

Yes it works in chrome cast but chrome cast need a router and that slow down the streaming . The benefit from the screen mirroring is that your phone connect directly to your smart tv so you have a smooth and fast experience on it .a 3rd party device like chrome cast is not a good alternative for screen mirroring.

I wasn't saying Chromecast is a great alternative. I was just saying I might've not been directly connected to the TV like I originally thought. While we're on it though, Chromecast does get the job done for the most part though if your router is close and fast.
