i have a question, but i think its a more of a general statement. i just came from the hd2, as i'm sure many did, great phone, any type of android i wanted but no tv-out was only draw back for me. g2x hdmi, awesome. but i noticed all the non-stock roms are missing hdmi and dlna, why? what is the point in this phone if you dont utilize those features? i'm just curious, i'm not sure if its the major ability to build and flash ANYTHING on the hd2 thats got me bummed about the limits of this phone, but i'm just curious on why that is "cooked" out of so many of the roms...
There is no source, so they can't add it on anything other than 2.3.3 roms.
But I'm sure the CM team will eventually get it working like they did with the Bluetooth.

In the nightly cm7 thread, there are people reporting HDMI working ... I don't have a cable or I'd test it for you. Apparently there aren't any settings for it, it's supposed to just work.

Anything stock has it like Eagle'sBoold, WeaponG2X, etc.
MIUI, CM or anything with 2.3.5+ it doesn't work.

Yeah on CM7 its really buggy. Ex: I can only output 1080pi, and If i play an hd video on youtube or from a file the playback will cutoff. I can live with it its just not the best. And of course anything based on stock will work perfectly.

what about "smart share" dlna? i've been flashing roms to see what works etc, and finally flashed swift and put my sim card in and it says something about i dont have a data plan? or something, but i know it works and that i do. then i got it working in web browser and it said my plan was invalid with this phone, any thougts? i know its a new subject but i'm right here talking.

I was able to connect my g2x to my tv when i was on the stock rom of the g2x by using a microHDMI cable but now that ive flashed cm7 i cant no longer do that... is there any way i could do it once again?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
You'd have to go back to stock for that. CM7 doesn't yet support it. They are working on it though.
the GB Leak ROM has it so that's what I use now to get GB until they do an actual update.

thats not true Ive been able to use HDMI out on all the eaglesblood and CM7 roms Ive used so far. I mostly use it to play emulators but oddly when i watch movies it always cuts out for a second every minute or so. its done that since stock
It works fine on eaglesblood but not on cm7 for some reason do you mind posting the link of the rom and kernel youre using so i can try them out and see if i get my hdmi to work on cm7

I am using nightly 59 but it has worked on all the CM7 builds i have tried.
Whenever i have odd issues i cant resolve with a rom or especially a nightly i do a full wipe rather than just davlink and cache
make sure when you restore your titanium backup your SD card folders are erased and backed up to your PC
no success with cm7.1 as well! what are your setting to get it to work? mine says mode not supported when i plug in, worked on stock though
Ive done nothing at all. I just flashed the rom and it worked right away.
No luck here either with EB 1.05 GB build or CM7 RC1.
are you sure its not the cable? I am now on CM7 RC1 and still haven't had any issues. In fact I just was at a friends house playing Mario kart and Mario world for over an hour on a 55" TV without an issue. though for some reason when watching video it losses connection for a second at random, but not with games.
I also have no problems using HDMI on CM7 nightlies. I think I remember someone posting here a while back that your tv/monitor has to be 1080 in order to work...if it's 720 it doesn't...don't quote me, but I think I remember something about that.

You may be right. My display is 720p and all CM7 builds do not output video. When using stock rom or based on the GB 2.4.3 leak then HDMI works fine on 720p display.
I hope they address this issue with the CM7 builds as well.
Now that I think about it the only time it didn't work was in a hotel. the TV screen was black. it could be that was a 720P TV, because I know every other TV Ive used is 1080p. I always thought the HDMI was blocked on the TV because the menu was grayed out
Any update on whether CM7 will support HDMI? Anyone using a stable nightly that reliably supports HDMI?

My G2X is crucial to my work and stability is all important. I'd rather try a previous, stable nightly build than the latest.
Just called Netflix they say the app is running on their end and that it's the manufacturer's fault if the app won't run.
I wonder what the issue is? Is it an issue with the software? Anyone think they can crack this?
It's crap like this that makes being a G2X owner frustrating.
Yep. Bring on the Prime

LG's Response
Typical response from LG - blame T-Mobile:
Gustavo: Hello Guest. Welcome to LG Electronics U.S.A.! How may I provide you with excellent service today?
Guest: I have an LG G2X and I tried installing the new Netflix app fromt the android market which is supposed to be compatible with all devices running Android 2.2.2 or 2.3.3; however, the Netflix app does not work on the G2X. I called Netflix and they said they are aware of the issue. They also said that this is an LG problem not a Netflix problem. I just wanted to know if LG was doing something about it.
Gustavo: Basically what I mean to say is that if you would be interested in finding out information related to software, service or even SIM card related question for GSM type phones, I suggest contacting the carrier since they are responsible for that part of the phone and should have information to help out with your questions.
Gustavo: As well, even though LG engineers do help out though out the development process, LG does not actually support third party software or applications, which in any case you would want to contact the carrier as well if dealing with issues related to apps or other software not directly related to the phone.
Guest: So you say it is a T-Mobile issue?
Gustavo: I am always happy to help out as best I can with situations in general, but I am unfortunately only limited to the information we have for the hardware specifications and what we can find in the Owner’s manual, in our system and from experience.
Gustavo: I honestly do apologize for the inconvenience if there is any. Hopefully you now have a better picture of software vs hardware. I tried to help out and type in this information as clearly as I could so you could have a better picture of how LG phones are actually made.
Gustavo: As far as Apps go, it is really up to the App developer
Guest: OK thanks. This is what I expected.
Gustavo: The app developer has to work out the glitches for the app to work on the provided software.

I don't think people realize this. I find it funny that people have been using MIUI, CM7 and EB for months without knowing they could run Netflix.
Yea Netflix only requires you to trick Netflix into thinking its a different phone.
Miui and cm7 run it fine.

Doesn't really matter who is to blame, point is it doesn't work and no one seems to care to fix it or get it to work. Like many other apps on the market the G2X is ignored.
In Netflix's defense, a lot of LG phones are having problems with the App.
If you read some of the comments it's mostly "Does not work on G2x," or "Does not work on Optimus T" or "Does not work on LG Thrill."
Works for me just fine on eaglesblood.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
There's something missing from the OS LG uses on the G2x and others. This works fine on my Streak 7, but crashes out on the G2x. The reason it works in other ROMs is that they supply the missing thing Netflix needs to work. Now if we could only figure out what that was and supply it somehow.....

Why? It's just proof that LG/T-Mobile left something out of the stock rom that facilitates running Netflix. If it works on CM7/AOSP based roms that just points out that the only factor causing Netflix not to work is the firmware running on the device, not the device or the app themselves.
So, the point is that you can point the finger at LG/T-Mobile. It's not lazy coding on Netflix's end. If it had something to do with the app/device it wouldn't run on CM7 either (which does not trick it into thinking it's on another device, it supplies whatever it is in the framework that Netflix needs that the stock roms do not have).
ok guys just for you!!! i went back to stock uninstall my cracked netflix app and installed the one from the market and guess what wuala it works fine with me!!!!!
So got cm seven latest build running great. But two questions I haven't seen answer to at all is Bluetooth crackling over headset so can't use with my trucks system I.e. illegal texting/calling and also might seem stupid but couldn't find Samsung mediahub. Came from infused 2.2.3 to cm hoping since was more popular might have working hub so I can still watch movies I bought when phone was stock lol

Bluetooth will never work on CM7. Also CM7 is AOSP-based, and it doesn't contain anything from the Samsung ROMS.
Its pretty much closest you can get to pure Google with no crap from Samsung or ATT.

That will not work for the Infuse with CM7.
Spend a bit more time reading the forum (THIS one, not other ones) and you will learn the issue is specific to this phone, and no fix is coming anytime soon.
I have been having trouble finding a kernel that supports MHL, and a decent ROM in which to run said kernel. I really like SKY and Embryo for their call recording functionality, but I also require the MHL HDMI support. I have heard that CM 10 runs MHL well, however my problem remains that I need a good ROM that supports the kernel without a brick/ineffiiciency. I am currently on GB 2.6.35 on a custom NEXUSMOD ROM and it simply doesn't cut it. If I can just flash my kernel that would be ok too.
Try them for yourself find what works if your too lazy for that then this isn't the site for you

but waffle is right, research bro
Yea, so far Im running Sky ICS, an older version because I like the call recording features; and the MHL is supported. CM10 is pretty awesome however I really do fancy the built in call recording! Thanks for the reply

CM10. Works really well. Other than than, just try them all out. Grab one a day until you find one you like.
Good luck.
mhl question
I'm not sure if this fits but i had a problem with mhl using CM10 (stable; kernel:kernel that came with it)
When i plug the adapter in the screen auto rotates to landscape, I'm ok with that, but the problem is any app (ex: temple run) that only has portrait mode isn't displayed. All I see is a black screen on my TV. I saw on youtube people with stock roms display portrait stuff so I was wondering if it was possible on CM. Anyone have similar problem? Help plz?
Hello all, so I have rooted and used a few roms on my phone, but went back to stock so the video recorder worked properly. But the camera issues have taken a back seat. I am a trucker and sit for hours at loading docks, so thought Id get some emulators, and a wii mote and classic controller.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Edit: Also going to install a Tab 2 into my car, and will be using phone to tether it to for wifi, so good tethering capabilities is also important in a rom. Any suggestions?
