[Q] HDMI on CM7? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Has anyone been able to get HDMI mirroring working on the CM nightlies? I've tried just about everything, and I simply cannot get it to work. I know that it is definitely not the cable, my TV, or my phone, because mirroring works fine on stock. Any ideas?

It works for me on build #28, but I always get black screens with no audio about every 30 seconds.

How do you get it working? Just plug it in and it works, or are you doing anything special?

Any response on this yet?

Works just fine on nightly 34. Just plug it in and my tv automatically picks it up no problem.

I'm still having horrible issues with this. My TV keeps saying 'Not Supported Mode' when I connect the phone. If I switch back to stock rom it work perfect.

Yeah I can't get my to do squat.... anything special we have to change in settings or something?

Just out of curiousity, have you tried flashing any of Faux123's roms? If so, could you get them to boot?

works for me on cm7 nightly 40,but any video playback turns the screen on and off for a split second randomly at any given time like once or twice every 5 to 10 min.but games and other apps don't do it

The same here, streaming seems to work fine, but videoplayback is a problem with the camMod from LeJay, at least when you use it's higher settings. when I put the cam on low quality, it worked oke, but that was really ugly on my full hd
I tried FullHDmod_mid, _low and _LG1.0, all the same result.

This may sound dumb, but have the people having issues changed the hdmi setting to 720p? I have had no issues using that setting. Your TV may not be compatible with the 1080p signal.

There aren't any settings for HDMI on Cyanogen.
My problem is that Cyanogen is the only ROM that supports BT gamepads but Stock is the only ROM that I can get HDMI to work. Catch 22 for my emulators but in the end I refuse to emulate without a gamepad. Touchscreen controls just don't do it fer meh.

720p

what i think is cm7 has only 1080p support setup and no auto switch to 720p or any other resolution like on stock am using eb n i have option and it works
i think you tell cm builder and all others to and the option to which switch the resolution like stock or someone to build an app

Is there any update on this? Is there a particular file somewhere that tells CM7 it's HDMI output is 1080 as opposed to 720? I wouldn't mind having either or. I'm not ready to buy a new TV for CM7 support on my G2x, lol!

Are you trying with a stock rom or a custom rom?
It's working on my gTab... I am currently watching Battlestar Galactica.
I am running Overcome ROM Version 2.2.2 Beta 2. Some scenes were a bit grainy at first, but it seems to get progressively better with usage.

I didn't state nor did the link I linked to state that any prop editing needs to be done. Fresh Overcome GB ROM and the APK in the link and Netflix plays. I just finished watching Predators. Don't state it doesn't work when its just your device thats not working.
sorry i forgot to mention that im running techno's cm7 2.3.4 (perhaps thats the prob?) ill be trying overcome asap.
apologies for saying it didnt work for me...try and relax a bit fella, my tab is working just fine otherwise.
apparently the overcome guys are the only lucky ones?
On my Wifi only Tab I changed the lines in the build.prop to HTC and I can login and hear sound when I select a movie but no video.

I believe wifi tabs have different hardware then 3g ones. Build prop could be one fix but I think there might be a hardware check or something that is preventing video for some.

SO i take it, Netflix only works on GSM overcome Roms...Sprint tab rooted with original Rom does not work. The screen just disappears when you log in. SMH at Google. To many software/hardware versions for any company to make a app right.
i ment in like australia..
Works fine with the new Gingerbread ROM on Tmo US.
another +1 on overcome 2.0 (2.3.3) i havnt had much time to test but it loads and plays. ill see in the next couple days how it works without wifi. at home it seems to be all well.
comming from technomancer's cm7 port overcome is MUCH MUCH smoother, cleaner, faster and has none of the issues i used to have with cm...but thats what you get with ports that arent updated regularly. the older overcome worked well, but i chose cm7 because of the settings and such, and back a couple months ago there wasnt THAT big of a diff (and cm is whats on my g2...so i thought id prefer it) now after using the latest 2.0 i cant believe how well this tab functions now.
so, netflix made me switch roms, and it works!!...but i got a bonus surprise with how well overcome really is.
very good day for my tablet!
Works perfectly on my us tmobile tab with overcome beta 1 and 2.3.3! Picture quality is very crisp. Streams with no lag
Works so well that I was on the phone with netflix yesterday and was telling the guy on the phone about it, info on 2.3.3.
and the the netflix app in his email got me 6 free months of service via coupons.
Awsome!

Also I think its funny that one of my other devices is actually supported and it doesnt work on it! Rather watch it on the tab anyways.
does not work on att stock rom.

[Q] Highest res video through HDMI

On CM7 based roms, what's the highest resolution video any of you have been able to record and then play out of the hdmi port without it flickering and all that jazz?
Do you have to make any adjustments to get HDMI to work? It won't work from my G2x running RC1. Highest setting for my TV is 1080i. Wonder if that has anything to do with it.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Any update on whether or not CM7 supports HDMI? I can't seem to get it to work and I would hate to have to go back to FroYo because then Netflix will not work, which is the main reason I want HDMI out.

[Q]sound w/no video through HDMI

Im trying to watch a movie (avi) through my hdmi cable and have sound but no picture. I have used the same set up on a different tv and everything worked fine. The phone is playing the file fine but no video at all is making it to the tv. I am trying to go through a Dennon 2311 since I cant get to the back of my tv. If anyone has any ideas for me I would appreciate it.
Edit; I hooked up directly to my tv (mitsubishi) and still no video, or sound.
What ROM are you on? If you're on CM7 or MIUI, they only do 1080p video out. If you're using a stock based ROM (Weapon, Bionic, etc) go into settings > HDMI and try different resolutions.

Thanks, im on eagles blood which is a CM rom. The movie plays fine on the phone and it is supposed to be in 1080.
It seems to work fine on a different tv so it looks like its going to be an issue with my dennon 2311. thanks for your help.

Im using CM 9.1 by scverhagen.
Yeh I have the same rom as you CM9 R8 and to me the image on the screen isnt as clear but when you take a pic it seems the resolution turns out better than you expected. I also noticed that the camera button on the side of your phone doesnt work which is lame I really liked using that for picture taking it was handy but oh well cant be perfect for a rom. If you want also do what I did, I just downloaded other camera and video apps. Way better than the stock app and on the screen they show up as better resolution than the stock app
Yeah, unfortunately the camera apps that come with CM/AOKP ROMs are very lacking on this phone, compared to the stock camera app. There are some third-party apps that do reasonably well, though. I like Camera360.

The black bars on the side is because the phone has a 16x9 screen but the picture is being taken in the 4:3 ratio. It's the same thing as watching an old tv show on a new widescreen tv.
Talking about our camera, has anyone figured out a way to port our camera to Cyanogen? That's the only thing that's stopping me from flashing a Rom, considering I've had this phone for a year.

Give ICS Camera or Camera JB+ a try. They are definitely fitting replacements for stock and you'll be very happy with results.

Well I'm running the RemICS_UX port from the HD2. Not bad of a rom. It's over samsungized but I'll find a theme for it. It claims to have the 1080p recording so lets see how that works out.
I personally don't care for all the "features" of the stock CAMERA app since I can always download a 3rd party app that will be on par. I only use night mode, macro and automatic. My main concern is 1080p recording (and that the mic doesn't sound so crappy).

I believe the 1080 not working has more to do with HTC Android drivers for the camera, rather than the available choice in the software.

Yeah, trying to record in 1080 makes the button useless. I'm starting to feel that the phone doesn't have real 1080p feature. My last phone was a Huawei Comet/U8150 and I had a very similar issue with the camera. Turned out that the phone had a 2.0 megapixel camera that was made to look like a 3.0 by the stock software. It was a sorry excuse of a camera.
I'm going to have to think about this one. I wonder if we could somehow port or rewrite a code to get 1080p working. Sadly, I know nothing about android development. My main thought was to sit the htc camera apk on top of cyanogen but I've read up that it's not that simple.... which I find weird considering someone has the beats by dre stuff on their mytouch4g slide rom.
Its not to complicated to understand but it is to fix. You see it does have true 1080 recording and it still one of the best cellphone cameras to date. Thing is if you want to run a custom ROM that is not based of the original T-Mobile release then some things may not be the same, the camera being one.
Unless you can get ahold of the proprietary camera drivers or write you're own you will be missing much of what is available. And any app based off the HTC framework will not work of different, such as cyanogen or even aosp.
Even phones that have been nearly torn apart by some super smart people doesn't mean that everything imaginable is possible or at least not easy. Try running sense on a Samsung phone, not too easy. Just saying be happy for what you have unless you know a sneaky backdoor to these issues that no one has thought of yet

I knew it had to lay within the coding.

[Q]TF700 Getting 1080p in youtube app

This task seems to be absolutely impossible. I have tried close to everything it feels like.
3 different roms, (cyanogen, stock and right now running CROMBi-kk) and still no luck, the 1080p and 480p options just wont show up!
Is there anyone here that has the same issue with their tf700 or is it just me?

2. On. KatKiss Lollipop 5.0.2 they show up on HD clips.
