I'm trying to work the HDMI feature that use to work with the stock settings. I noticed that since Ive rooted and Flashed the CM7 the feature is no longer there in the settings. Do I need the settings to be there in order to make it work? Every time I hook up the hdmi cable, it never displays on the tv with whats on my phone.
Or do I need to install an apk from the stock settings? If so does anyone have it? Thanks.
It will work in cm7 but there is nothing in the settings about it. I can confirm it works though just plug the cable in.
just plug the cable in and it automatically projects to the tv. i'm having problems playing 1080p video though
There an app in the market called talk back...

Is HDMI mirroring in Hell's Hellfire Sandwich 1.3 ROM functioning? I just tried it right now, but nothing is appearing on my TV Is there some setting where I have to turn it on, or something? I'm wondering if its just the ROM or if its my HDMI cable.
Not sure but I've been running SK1 for a while now (don't plan an update until we get encode/decode), and HDMI mirroring works great.
it may be your cable cause it works for me on 1.3

I've not been able to get a good picture even on stock 2.3.3. Not sure what i'm doing wrong. Does it have to be ob a video or will it show just the desktop?

Just in case anyone is interested, I just got this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0PG0822857
and it's working perfectly fine with my 22" Samsung monitor on the DVI input. I'm actually using it right now , I also paired my bluetooth keyboard. There is one issue with it, not sure if it's a ICS thing, but I can't figgure out why the youtube videos don't work, it displays the first frame of it but won't play. I'll digg into that later...
It also has a usb port witch is used for charging the phone.

Thank you! I needed one for my older Dell monitor that is lacking HDMI. I'd rather have one that is confirmed to work than having to go through the whole buy/return ordeal if I had issues. Thanks again for testing and posting this. I appreciate it.
Can someone answer a few questions on this?
Do the Nintendo/sega emulators display ok using this adapter?
How about videos played from the sd card with either the stock video player or Dice?
Thanks!
Is there a trick to get video output from the blaze? hdmi or vga or anything at all? I'm surprised because it works on the galaxy S and I though they were almost identical phones except for the processor.

Actually, the Tmobile GS2 has the exact same processor (the 'normal' gs2 soc doesn't support hspa+42 and tmobile wanted the higher network speed over higher clock). From what I understand, there is no way to get video out of the blaze.
If you are trying to play it on pc there are a few software apps that can stream like VLC and such. TV... pretty screwed. I hear even the mhl adapters arent working for our phones either. Sorry
With Android 4.2 is a feature called Miracast or something close to that, pretty much just lets you stream to WiFi TVs.
True we are screwed. I was under the impression there was no MHL support on the blaze, and thus, it will never work.

Has anyone tried plugging flash drive into the phone with a mircousb to USB female?
I wanna get a converter but if HDMI doesn't work, I doubt that connecting external storage would work...

I haven't tried it (but can tomorrow), but I don't see why external storage wouldn't work. What you'd want is a USB on the go adapter to basically act as a host-mode interface for the phone to the storage.
I bought one of these adapters for less than $1 a piece, shipped. Well, I guess actually I bought 3 (they were really cheap) because I wanted to play with all sorts of things, including controlling my DSLR with one of those DSLR apps
Using this method and a USB hub, there's no reason that you shouldn't be able to successfully add all sorts of stuff like extra storage, mouse, keyboard, etc.
Mind you the host OS (read: ROM) has to support it. CM should support most of that out of the box. I don't know about stock based roms.
Yea I was gonna get it for my camera and other things but wasn't sure if it was capable of doing it.
I remember how on my Samsung Vibrant, the TV-Out feature worked by plugging a RCA cable to the headphone jack...It doesn't work on the blaze though. Just FYI

Sure are a lpt pf TV-out and OTG files in ALL the roms........
USB OTG should work fine. That is built ib and works for me with a powered hub.
I tried compiling MHL support into the kernel, which works, but nothing on the TV. I think there are parts missing in the ROM for it to work.
When I connect my phone via bluetooth or aux no Pandora information is displayed on the dash, Google music displays information fine. I remember running across a thread one time where there was a possible fix if you were rooted...at the time I read the thread I wasn't rooted so I didn't pay much attention....now I am rooted, running cleanrom. Any ideas? It's not a huge deal but it sure would be nice if it worked.
Well aux isn't a type of connection to display information like that. I'm rooted running clean rom and pandora displays just fine on my pioneer lcd screen in my car via bluetooth. So it use to work but doesn't anymore after having rooted and running clean rom?

It's never worked. I've Googled a bit and read some threads on it working with CM 10 (other phones) so it's obviously a file or setting somewhere.....this is the kind of little tiny thing that can give me ocd
No I understand lol You're sure that you car is capable of displaying pandora information? Have you tried with another phone? It's working me but not sure. Is there any settings in the car?

I have no idea if works with another phone. The car as far as I know does not have any "advanced" bluetooth settings but I could be wrong. I have no idea if it's capable of displaying Pandora info but it was built in 2013 so I would hope it is. I will check with the dealership but I don't see why G Music would work but Pandora would not.
My 2012 Jetta has never displayed Pandora music info on the screen. I've used a droid RAZR, HTC rezound and my gs3. But my friends iPhone 4 does display the info in my car. So I'm assuming its an android issue not a specific ROM issue.

In doing a bit of googling, the Pandora android app doesn't have AVRCP metadata support...meaning it doesn't send the info to be displayed. However some one has a github showing how to alter the Pandora app so it will.
On the bottom of the first post in this Honda Civic forum (sorry) http://www.9thgencivic.com/forum/au...-support-android-album-track-information.html the OP posted an altered Pandora that will stream data. Try it.
Oh yeah, CM has yet to merge the Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 (and it may be quite a while, so I've read). So even if you do download the modded Pandora, it won't work with CM. And that applies to any rom that uses CM as a base.
That works! Unfortunately I don't think I can handle the ads... Thanks for your post!

I display Pandora on my pioneer LCD head unit just fine with the stock Pandora app from the market. So it does work but maybe your car is different.

Apparently none of the kitkat ROMs currently support WiFi Direct or Miracast for the skyrocket. In fact turning on the wireless display option jacks up the WiFi altogether until you go into airplane mode and back out. It works fine in the cm 10.2, does anyone have any insight in this?

I guess there must not be much interest in this feature as it still hasn't made it's way into the nightlies or even been brought up in the Dev threads (that I've seen anyway, but I've combed through most of them). Too bad, I have a nice new TV that supports it but in order to use it I have to downgrade. Allcast works well for streaming media, but it's kinda cool to mirror your whole screen (although I admit not all that practical). I'd still like to hear something if anyone knows anything, thanks!!
