Samsung Galaxy S3 MHL Adapter and CM10 ROMs

Hi,
I recently purchased the Samsung EPL-3FHU MHL adapter for my SGS3. I can't get it to work at all. I know that older AOSP ROMs didn't support MHL (like CM 7), but surely they do by now? I have the right adapter, the 11 pin one. Hell I even have an old one with a 5-to-11 pin adapter.
Is it because of the ROM, kernel, or because I don't have a charger connected to it?

Side question to whomever knows the answer to OP's question: does a standard MHL adapter work with CM10 or does the S3 hardware require the Samsung adapter?

A standard one does work if you have a 5-pin-to-11-pin converter I think, but I got that from Samsung.

As far as I'm aware, CM10 does not support MHL, only Samsung based ROMs work.

you def need the charger connected... unless your plugging it into a mhl suppported hdmi port on a tv which basically means you own one of 5 tv's that support it.

I am using ParanoidAndroid and the MHL connectivity works to an extent. What i mean is u can see the phone, browse, but video playback is glitchy. The video flickers and there is lag. Same is the problem with high graphic games. This has been bothering me for a while now. I wanted to use S3 as a game console with PS3 and SixAxis with GameKlip.

Works for me
This works for me just fine. I have the official mhl connector with the extension bit on the end. I am running CM10. The power thing got me at first.. Make sure you have it plugged in

Shawn: Are you on S3? What version of CM10 and what kernel?

What happened?
Anyone ever get an answer to this? Or just, what's the best ROM to maintain MHL capability?

I am running Liquidsmooth based on CM10.0 on Skyrocket and my phone DOES NOT run MHL. I bought a new TV to enjoy the feature which apparently is not there.

I Had Simliar Problem
I recently bought a generic mhl adapter off amazon for my Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket, sadly it did not work.
Phone:
Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
CM 10 (JB4.1.2)
Kernel that came with it
After browsing XDA I found a post that helped...

Basically you need to add "ro.hdmi.enable=true" to your build prop. I used a build prop editor off the play store to do this.
It worked after this. Hope this works for you too. Good Luck.

Yours is the International version I think. You will need a different Homescreen Launcher like Nova, or Apex I think. Here's the Play Store link to Nova, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher

there is no way to make a change in the system (something to true) to make it enable? - why shouldnt it work internatinal?

He isn't saying that anything will not work on your phone because it is an International version. Basically this part of the forums is for Verizon models. We are not familiar with what is compatible with your phone and you will have better luck in the link that he gave you.

It's been pretty common that OEM Android Launchers (touchwiz/sense ui/mootorola) for whatever reason, don't permit home screen rotation. It's ridiculous, but I'm sure they have their reasons. Be glad the fix doesn't require a complicated process. I use Apex and Nova launcher, and they are both awesome. Of course, you'll lose the signature Touchwiz UI widgets and such, most of which are easily mimicked with apps in the Play store.

miracast / android 4.2 for the note

hey guys, I'm looking at buying a few note 10.1s to use with work and I'm really interested in the Mira cast functions that ship with android 4.2. is there an update due that anyone knows from Samsung for the note to 4.2, and if there is will it support Mira cast?
if bolt, how does Samsung's own sharing work? I really want too be able to plush a custom app we have at work upon into I TV/ projectors and clan isn't an option.
thanks,
Andy

The Note 10.1 thats supposedly coming to the US will ship with 4.2..

Depending on exactly what you are trying to accomplish, it may already be capable via AllShare Cast. I can show my Note 10.1 screen on multiple note 10.1 devices, I think 8 is the max (I have only had 5 going, no more too add or test), but using AllShare Cast, the other devices would display whatever my screen is displaying. This will also work for newer Samsung TV/Displays, at least natively on their "Smart TV's" from 2012 for certain. Also, their is an AllShare Hub accessory that can be purchased to do the same thing on any TV/monitor/projector with HDMI input. It works with both audio & video & while the hub is a bit expensive for older tv's ($99.00 USD), if you register a Samsung device on the Samsung website, you get a code good for %50 off up to 10 items. I used the code to get the Hub for $49.00, as well as for a Navigation & a Desk dock.
It is great for just about anything except racing or fast action games. There is a small lag, nothing major, almost unnoticeable, unless you are playing a game where a few milliseconds can be the difference between wrecking or making a turn in Asphalt. For everything else though, it is pretty sweet. I use it for my older Plasma in the media room.

Perfect, thanks guys sounds like just what im after! I dont suppose there is a developer kit for allshare cast around? It would be nice to add it to an app im working on without having to move away and set it up first?

All share cast will mirror whatever is going on on your tab, it is like connecting the tab via hdmi to a screen, so if you run your app on note it will show on every connected device

Dude we know about that but we need to know if there is some way to do it without chromcasts stuff...

@tazaga unless you have a samsung tv to my knowledge you wont be able to do it without some kind of smart device so @Gary_Berg was quite correct with his answer. Is your TV a samsung tv? do you have a smart device of somekind connected to it? if no to both answers then you cannot do it sorry. I would listen to @Gary_Berg answer if this is the case and get a smart device, i would recommend a fire tv box or stick as you can do so much more with these over chromecast

It does not necessary shouldbe Samsung SmartTV. It can be any TV with Miracast. S6 has SmartVeiw (or ScreenCast in old firmware).Or use Miracast dongle (e.g. ScreenBeam Mini2). not recommend cheap chiness allcasts due to instability...
ScreenBeam Mini2 works great.

@petr_1 thanks you i stand corrected

You will spend more than the cost of a Chromecast unless you have a Miracast device already in hand. I believe some of the newer Roku devices can also do Miracast.
And you didn't specify what you didn't want to hear. For most people, the Chromecast IS the best answer.

Does the S8/S8+ have MirrorLink?

This is important to me. I have a Mercedes Benz CLA45 AMG and am frustrated MirrorLink would never work with my HTC 10. I have read that MirrorLink is really picky on the version being ran on the phone vs what is on the vehicle but it is a PIA to even troubleshoot. Hoping the issue is with connectivity is my current device and am anxious to move to the S8+. That will be one of the first things I test. I'll report back to see if any one updates. I believe TMobile devices may land a day or so early.

I should be getting mine, in 6 days. If the delivery doesnt get ****ed up. I will test aswell. I just heard rumors, and some article mentioning that it should have MirrorLink.
But I havent seen anyone confirming this

And thanks for getting back with it

I wish my cars had it ('15 pathfinder, '15 corvette and '14 ML350) Wouldn't mind sending the image to my screen.

Had the Galaxy S8 for a few days now and to my surprise, I can confirm that it does have MirrorLink! I bought it thinking it didn't.
My car has a Sony XAV-602BT double-din headunit so I will try this out shortly and report back!

Yeah it does have, here's even screenshot of function

Bad news...
So I tried my Galaxy S8 on my Sony XAX-602BT and MirrorLink does not work
My head unit flickers for a split second as if it's about to work and then nothing. The headunit just says to connect a supported device. I've tried numerous ways of connecting it with different cables, switching the headunit of then connecting and vice versa but same result. The S8 registers as being connected via MirrorLink though.
It's not an issue with the headunit as this works with my two previous phones, my Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z albeit a buggy experience.
I've done some research and it seems to be because MirrorLink 1.1 only letting you use certain apps which have the right certificates.... Problem is, there are hardly any useful MirrorLink certified apps since it's such a niche thing to have!
On my two previous phones MirrorLink would work but it would just mirror whatever is on the screen which was useful when it actually worked... I've always found MirrorLink to be buggy at best: constant disconnects, overheating phone, audio drops, battery not charging, screen freezing etc.
My advice: If you want the S8 or the S8+ then go for it as they are amazing phones. Upgrade your headunit to one that supports Android Auto as that does work reliably and will have much more support than MirrorLink since Google are backing it.

Did anyone try the LG mirrorlink app with S8? I can't get it to work because it recognizes the samsung phone.
It was fine on S7 and it offers full screen mirroring even when driving.

Samsung Galaxy S8 + Suzuki Vitara with Mirrorlink, it does work. You need to have mirrorlink compatible apps installed.

In galaxy app store you have Samsung car mode, check if your car is compatible.

Hi,
My matter between my Galaxy S8 and my car with Mirrolink is now ok
I just use another cable....
I don't know why. I know with Apple if you have a cable from another brand, you should have some matter. But with Samsung, I'm very surprise !
Thanks all
