[Q] Kernel/ROM that supports MHL HDMI - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

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

Any cm10 Rom
Lightning kernel
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?

G2x with cm7 HDMI connection

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?

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?

odd, its removed or not working? guess i wont flash the latest
There is also no HDMI in Settings in CM7 latest stable release. The stock T-Mobile ROM did have an HDMI menu in Settings.

My G2X is crucial to my work and stability is all important. I'd rather try a previous, stable nightly build than the latest.

[Q] custom roms missing hdmi and dlna

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.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
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.

[Q] What ROM will let me use a bluetooth controller (wii remote) AND HDMI out?

Given the CPU power of this phone, I want to use it as a portable emulator station thing. My understanding is that stock-based ROMs (like what I'm running now, Tsugi) work with HDMI but due to LG's wonky BT stack Wii remotes can't connect. On CM7-based ROMs, the BT stack does work with Wiimotes but HDMI out doesn't work (or so I've heard).
Is there any ROM that works with bluetooth controllers, HDMI, and has a decent camera? Right now, I have everything but the BT controller support.
Anything based on CM7 (that included MIUI.) I know because I do it almost daily.

Cm does hdmi out perfectly fine. The only problem you might have is that you can't set the resolution in cm like in stock.
It does? I never knew that. Thanks. I assume it's stuck on 1080p (so it won't work on older 720p HDTVs)?
Would this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094424) be a decent camera for CM7? Or is there a newer/better one?
Also, on an unrelated note, I remember you tahahawa from U8100 development. It seems a lot of us WIND users went from the U8100 to the P999.

Yeah I had that PoS Huawei, it worked okay. The p999 is a lot better. That camera I believe is quite old, from may. Just use stock or hdr camera from the market. There are a bunch un the market that are pretty good.
So I looked through some cameras and there is still no good video camera... is there any way to get 30fps video in CM7?

Thought it was in there by default
No the stock camera definitely does not do 30fps video. I tried camera zoom fx for photos and it's alright but for videos everything I've tried is sluggish. Might it have to do with the kernel I'm running? So far I've tried faux and Trinity kernels
I don't take much video on my phone, mostly pics. So I can't really help with the video part.

Aosp MHL?

I'm guessing it's not an issue, but I just wanted to make sure before I invested in the adapter. So anyone know if tv-out is functional with aosp roms?

I have a feeling it doesn't but I don't know for sure.
I know I went through hell with that feature on my previous Rezound. I use the MHL HDMI out feature every day & some of the most awesome ROMs would work perfectly except that MHL HDMI feature would be broken & I would have to revert to a more stock based ROM.
I briefly tried using MHL out on d2hacker's 7/26 build of CM10, and I had no success. I've been on Synergy since then, so I can't speak to more recent builds. Now that you mention it, I don't recall it being mentioned as a known issue.
For reference, my daily driver is Synergy and I use the 11-pin to 5-pin adapter, which works as expected on TW roms.

[Q] List of ROMs with HDMI/MHL working

Has anyone had any luck tracking down a decent ROM (much preferably one as close to vanilla android as possible) that actually still has working MHL? I've done a good bit of searching through most of the individual ROM threads and it seems like this is something that is hardly ever mentioned. I realize that it's missing in CM, much to my sadness as that has been my best experience with a custom ROM thus far. need something that works with my appradio 2!
I'm on $droyd$'s jellybean nonsense build 6 right now and it's not bad, but still too HTC-y for my tastes (plus i'm on hboot 1.14.0004 right now so no wifi for me )

Dark jelly s edition supports OTG im using bubba kernel along with this... Will check the MHL availability and will post back...
Cheers
This interests me too. In my test of different ROMs I found that trick droid and viper work but make the phone freeze after the mhl cord is removed. Black bean, avatar, jellybam and codename lungo don't work with mhl. None of the awesome cm based ones are supposed to work with hdmi
I keep going back to nonsense which has since been closed. I only have version 4 and version 6 seems to be unavailable for download. Now after almost 5 months as my daily driver I started having Bluetooth issues and I have to load music via USB from the recovery since that must have been removed from it.

I have the same problems, freezing when disconecting mhl cord y trick droid and viper. And with trickdroid 10.x.x there is no output.
I also have opened thead in Q&A, to see if Torxx can help us with trickdroid 10.x.x
