I just bought a MHL adapter for my brother for Christmas, I haven't tested it yet. I was just wondering if the support for MHL is in the ROM or kernel. And if you know if paranoid android had the capability. I talked to Dragunkorr about it and he didn't know about MHL so he's going to look into adding support into his roms. But will that even work? Or is it something in the kernel? Thanks.
P.S. MHL is HDMI out.

AFAIK it is mostly in the kernel. But the rom could/should have a say as well.
I'm on viperS 1.5.2, which has the option of turning off mhl support completely. Now I'm not sure if it is done from the rom side alone, I do know the kernel supports it.

Interesting. Okay. Well I'll find out tomorrow if my kernel supports it then. Thanks.

I'm quite confused on the sensation ports.
Does it have a micro USB port or the HDMI port on the phone for charging?
Or does it have both?
has micro usb port. to do HDMI out you need to use an MHL dongle/cable/whatever

Also, does it charge your phone while plugged in to the TV?

It will with a MHL-enabled TV, or with a charger plugged into the MHL dongle.
If you a xbox or ps3 you can play movies,music, pictures off it to with regular usb wire.

I have two MHL adapters, and soon a Sensation, will post up info about how well it works from the Sensation (brilliant with my SGSII).
Is there a cheaper way of doing it

Ebay

Would the "GTMax Gold Plated High Speed Micro HDMI Male to Standard HDMI Male Cable For Archos 101 Internet Tablet BlackBerry PlayBook" from Amazon work properly with the HTC Sensation. Because so far it seems to be the cheapest cable on Amazon for the job
No mhl's on ebay

will this work?
no, there's no HDMI (micro or otherwise) port on the phone. Expansys seems to have a cheap aftermarket cable available that'll do the trick
Will do...

Sorry, should have linked to it on their site http://www.expansys-usa.com/expansys-mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-black-218572/
$16.99, adapts microUSB (male) to full-size HDMI (female), it's a "coming soon" product that doesn't seem to have an ETA.
So I got my mule adapter from tmobile....works great so far....must have the charger hooked up to the dongle for it to work....gonna play some movies and games wand will report back later

I think you need a Rom like cm7 to be able to use the wiimote.

^^^^ this. Sense roms have Bluetooth 3.0, and so it doesn't work with sixaxis or wiimote. You need either CM7 or miui to use them.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
when you go to settings - input - controller
you get a popup that says you need Bluez IME from market. have you tried that? I'm on arhd 3.6.1 but i dont have a wireless controller to test with at the moment.
edit: nvm. device drivers included are zeemote, phonejoy, MSI Chainpus, icontrolpad, and data dump reader (whatever that is)
Thanks for cleaning that up.......man.....I was about to run to the store and buy a sixaxis just to play my games....lol. no offense to anyone but I don't like cm7 or miui.....

u should be able to use the wii remote only with cm7 roms or that are based on there rom. i used my ps3 controller with my old g2x with that n64oid app. it worked perfect but i hate the wii remotes so i wouldnt use them for gaming
do u guys think they'll ever get it working on sense roms???
My question is at the end of this post.
Okay so I have a PS3 dual shock controller and I have it synced with my phone via Six axis(app from Android Market). I am now able to play game emulators quite comfortably with my fingers not in the way anymore. But then i had an idea to hook up my phone up to my HDTV, so I did via HML but it didn't work. I jumped on my computer and did a little bit of research and I found something that said that AOSP roms do not support HML which sucks because the Six axis app does not support most HTC roms and the Sensation is one of them.
Right now I am on CM7 alpha 10 and i was wondering if it was possible to get MHL support on AOSP roms?

Thank you for giving me an answer. I was sure HDMI was supported but then I realized I obviously do not have an HDMI port.

I am running absolution 3.3 and I have a Samsung HDMI output plug that came off the Samsung infuse... is there anything or app that I could use to get my phone to get this to work so I can use my phone on my Tv? Just a simple yes or no or a solution would be awesome...I searched and couldn't locate anything so I figured I'd post ..

The Inspire does not support HDMI output. There is an article on htcinspireforum.com that talks about doing DNLA streamiing but it does not go into detail.

i've read that virtuous inquisition works with MHL adapters
Just plug it in to your phone and TV, plug the power source into the adaptor and your TV should mimic the screen. There is nothing to do to activate it, all ROMs should work but VI definitely does.
Hmm I'll have to try a different television then I guess mine isn't compatible
