Hi All,
I am planning on making an app that unlocks the HDMI capabilities of the Evo. However with limited documentation and secretive programmer's manual for the HDMI chip on the Evo, this is almost impossible.
I tired searching for the register reference or programmer's giude for the SiI9024A HDMI chip but found nothing on the web (they only released it to HTC and other manufacturers). If anybody has these documents and would like to see the Evo with full HDMI, please private message/email me these docs or a link to them.
I will use this thread to update on project's progress, link demos and what not.
This is something I've been wanting to see for a while. I don't have any documentation to offer, but once you get something going, let me know if you need any help testing.
Or you could just wait for cm7; talk of the town is that they may have that feature.

Thanks rrr1986, but these docs are not what I need to develop for the chip. What I need may require me to sign an NDA with SI, which I am willing to do if there are no fees.

Thats very much like what i want to create.
that app for the droid x is a step forward, but by no means ideal lol. The screen on the phone stays in the app and doesn't reflect what the phone and hdmi output is doing?
Sounds like a LOT of hit or miss and frustration for those users lol. Picking the right app/shortcut sounds bad enough let alone typing something

This is because the developer chose to create an app instead of a service.
Here's the action I'm looking for out of an HDMI out utility:
http://androidspin.com/2011/01/06/c...ptima-2x-with-tegra2-chipset-and-gingerbread/
Enjoy!
Hoping for this in CM7, but I'm not holding my breath. Have a pico projector that works with HDMI out in sense roms, but the audio comes out of the speakerphone..! Grr.. And only works in gallery movie player, and maybe youtube. That's it.
:-/
let the people of other forums know about this thread. androidcentral and many other sites. maybe someone throw a key information about the hdmi of the evo
This would be great if you could get full mirroring. Do any of the new htc phones coming out have the same hdmi chip? Maybe you could steal the mirroring drivers from it haha
I don't know if this helps as I have written about it before in another thread but didn't get much results. In the RUU_101107T105508(which boots and will function...but without bootloader screen..you have to remember which key functions make it go into what you are looking for) and the next one RUU_Speedy_Sprint_WWE_1-2.17.651.1_Radio_1.07.00.1129_NV_SPCS_1.52_1103_release_160079_signed and RUU_Supersonic_1.17.651.1(it is the eng-build that you can get when you use the 3 step Simple Root method.....it has HTC utilities that allows you to either select HDMI mirroring or presentation mode. However, the toggle will only let you select presentation mode. If someone knows how to change the default from "false" or to "allow" I am pretty sure it would allow HDMI output. It is a matter of going through all of the files to find the toggle switch to allow it to work. It states it is only for Supersonic and it shows pictures from the Vancouver Google Convference.....so....all of you in the know.....maybe this will help....It has a whole bunch of HTC utilities that only came with the first EVO given out at the Google conference. You can check all types of things.....WiMax included....the same settings that CM is using to make WiMax work now....I just don't think it has/was a top priority and might be an easy fix.....

A version of the official Netflix app has been leaked. See here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...apk-leaked-probably-wont-stream-anything-yet/
and link to dl app:
http://lts.cr/TY5
Apparently streaming doesn't work on most (all?) devices. I was hoping someone here could fix that
EDIT 3/16/11
I've uploaded some lib files that may or may not help (in lib.zip) extracted from the LG Optimus 2x. It would be ideal if we could have system/lib dump from the Revolution but I couldn't find it. There are a number of DRM, "OMX", and video/audio codec related libs in here. Perhaps someone is willing to put these in their lib, set permissions, and try netflix again?
More info on OMX here? http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/OMX_Android

Same thing here. Any way to work around it?
There is probably some sort of DRM service baked into the ROM that this hooks into. The question is whether said service can work independently from the LG framework and whether it requires actual hardware support.
I hope someone can get it working.
Would love to get Netflix on my Galaxy Tab!
Both the MSM8655 and MSM8255 chipsets have the DRM hardware (the only difference between them being that the 8655 has CDMA suppport and the 8255 doesn't.) This means that people with the mytouch 4g and other phones with the same chipset should be able to eventually get it working. Anyone else may have a much harder time. I'm not sure if any of Qualcomm's other chipsets have the same DRM support. And then there's Samsung...
i wonder if the g2 has te same chipset. i read that its the same sec-gen snapdragon but i know for sure the g2 is underclocked.
The G2 is MSM 7230.
ah. so its a no go for me
same here on cappy
I've managed to get a different reaction from the app than most people seem to. When I try to stream a video I get the same error everyone else does, but when I try to resume a video I was streaming previously on my xbox and then paused I get no error.
The video still doesn't stream, it hangs indefinitely on the loading page, but it is at least a different reaction, and may be enough for some one more tech savvy than me to go on in terms of figuring out where to go on fixing this app. I've tested this on both my Galaxy Tab and my myTouch 4G.

The dump doesn't have a lib folder... I was looking forward to looking through the codecs. I'll take a look later to see if they moved them elsewhere. The hardware decoding is controlled by the OMX files, isn't it?

Ivan its been along time...I remember you teaching me how to cook roms in the T-mobile wing forums...good to see that your working on this.
Long story short, I have a G2x and don't really care for the available model specific dock, but found the dock for the Samsung Infuse 4g was more what I wanted. I've since rcvd it and as far as the fit and the charging, both successful [albeit, there is a small gap on either side, but not enough to be a deal breaker by any means...]
I then found I needed to DL the 'samsung home dock' app from the marketplace in order to get full functionality [use of a built in speaker and a speaker line out among other things]. Np, it's free... but wait, what's this, it's not there?!? Oh, turns out it's one of those sneaky apps[not unlike netflix at the moment] that is only visible to phns w/the right build.prop fingerprint. Still, np, I'll get it online from the xda forums, they have EVERY apk... They did and I did, still wouldn't install.
SONUVAB! Yep, buggered by the build.prop yet again!
So, now that the short version of my long story was found out to not be short, I am at a dilemma of sorts. I really want to be able to use the audio line out on the dock as well as the built in speaker [even though it's more of a novelty considering I doubt it is as good as the DTS capable speakers on the G2x] so I need the build.prop lines for a samsung model, the mfg, etc.
If you can help me, there is a big thanks in it for you... Not enough you say. Well, maybe a bought drink if you have that nifty link attached to your post.
Alright ppl, let's get crackin!

Here's what you're looking at. if build.prop is the only issue then you're fine. just download a rom that has this app and use the model information for that rom. API level too. something tells me you will need libraries from that rom too though.
He is right.... i have a Vibrant at home but i am at work right now... If you want i will post the build.prop for you and suggestions on what to use, if it is only the actual prop that's holding you back.
here is a vibrant build prop with what i suggest to change. BUT!!!! BACKUP YOUR CURRENT BUILD.PROP!!!!!! I am not responsable if you bork your phone!!!
ro.product.model=SGH-T959
ro.product.brand=Samsung
ro.product.name=SGH-T959
ro.product.device=SGH-T959
ro.product.board=SGH-T959

ro.build.product=SGH-T959
ro.build.fingerprint=Samsung/SGH-T959/SGH-T959/SGH-T959:2.2/FROYO/UVKB5:user/release-keys
ive used a simular one when i was running netflix on my vibrant but using a build prop from a ZOOM tablet...
Yeah, I know well enough to back up, been down that road w/my G1.
As far as it just being a build.prop issue, that's what I'm hoping, but not expecting. I know it's at least part of the issue though. Gotta go 1 step at a time.
I do thank you both though and will use any help I can get.

Wouldn't it just be easier to find the APK and manually install it?
I doubt the app will require build.prop settings (hope not). Seems like a lot of work to just download an app.

As it states in my original post, I've already tried DL the apk from the xda forums. Unfortunately, also as stated, the install fails. Much like the Netflix app requires a specific build.prop for it to work (although it still doesn't work on all handsets) being a manufacturer specific app, it also checks the build.prop.
I know modifying it isn't a guaranteed fix, its definitely worth a try.

Also as far as the libraries are concerned, I would recommend extracting both roms into seperate directories and diffing them. See which libraries dont match up and just try to add them slowly one by one and see if it works. Thats what I did back in the day and sometimes it worked. Logcat might give some useful info too. Usage: adb logcat
The latest Skype update for Android is available to everyone, but it only enables video chat on four specific handsets. Fortunately, impatient modders have gone some way to correcting this profound injustice, by creating APKs that activate video calling on other handsets too. So far we've heard of successful ports on the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation, Thunderbolt and EVO 4G. If you've got some other handset with Android 2.3, a little experimentation with the APK might also be worth your while. However, we just tried it on an Xperia Arc and didn't get very far: the app ran, but efforts to communicate with an Xperia Neo resulted in one-way video, a locked landscape mode and plenty of awkwardness. Let us know if you fare better -- you'll find a Thunderbolt-specific download at the DroidLife source link, and a more general APK at TechPetals.

Figured I would drop this in here if anyone has some know how and wants to look into it to see if there is anyway for us to have this on our phone. Doubt it though considering it requires 2.3 which seems to be the standard for google video chat and stuff, but hey, its worth a shot!!!

Yeah, one of Google's big thing at IO was that they wanted to eliminate the fragmentation, yet I haven't seen anything to indicate they're taking steps to achieve this.
Unfortunately it's one big advantage Apple has... they take a hard line position that the carrier doesn't touch the OS software, nor prevent the deployment of the updates. Not sure why Google is such a wuss when it comes to holding the carriers accountable for the timely delivery of their updates. AT&T says it's because they have to ensure a quality user experience, but comon, what AT&T customer actually believes that crap? LOL

The only true advantage that Apple has over Android is that they only more or less support one device. Android is spread amongst how many different devices? It's easy to put out lackluster updates to a single device, but putting out updates to 20+ different devices isn't so easy.
how are you guys even getting it to install? is it actually working?
yes please, can any one confirm that the video call on Skype is working on the infuse?
regards
no it is not working. installing the custom apk does give you the video call option, but if you press it, it goes into landscape to prepare for video call and then it does nothing. gingerbread is needed since it uses the frontfacing camera api.

Yes, my phone's battery started draining in about two hours after installing Skype, so I uninstalled and things are better again now.
Even if Skype supports video on the Infuse, I don't think I will start using it unless they address the battery usage.

I have an official HTC HML Adapter but the first TV I used with HDMI did not work.
It is an old Sanyo with only 1 HDMI Port.
The adapter says HTC EVO 3D and Sensation
The TV out on the same TV works instantly with the Zune RCA (Red-Yellow-White) adapter.
I will try a 27" Asus monitor with 2 HDMI inputs later.
Has anyone had success with their MT4GS and this adapter?
EDIT: No Good with Asus Monitor on either HDMI port.
I have a CECHA01 (750GB) PS3 that was updated to 3.60 with my knowledge. (I'll keep that anger away from this thread)
I will test the DLNA Media Server functionality of the PS3 if someone has not done so?
This is bad news that there is no MHL funcionality. NOT the same as Sensataion! I will have to sell this to one of my friends with Sensation that are running their fancy Custom ROMs while I sit and rot on Stock for the time! Perhaps I have a bad unit right out of the box? It's possible, but I doubt it?

Quoted for truth.
I believe we've already confirmed that the MT4GS, out of the box at least, does not support MHL. can't remember the thread where it was being discussed.
it would seem that it could be possible if you take into account the fact that the innards are the same as the Sensation and E3D, but we might have to dig to get it going. also, apparently some of the early demos of the MT4GS showed off MHL alongside the Sensation which leads me to believe we just need some small tweaks to get it working on the retail units.

This leads me to believe we need to donate to some devs to get this device in their hands. I am sick of checking the development thread to see if a there is a ROM available.
Every other device I have had, I always checked to see what was new for flashing. I think the that the timing of the Sensation and MT4GS may be one of the causes of the lack of development
What can you do....just wait and see. I have chose to wait vs getting the Sensation, which has not been easy as I have unlocked and flashed everyone in my area who has bought one, while I choose the joystick over screen res?
How much longer will this painful wait be?
Sorry for the rant.
Stock rom does not do TV out at all if you remove the TVOut apk.
Thus it follows that MHL will not work unless the correct MHL apk is present.
I would imagine the next course of action is to determine if the sensation rom contains such an apk while the mytouch does not.
Anyone have a sensation they can look at for us?

Well, since you are off the hook for the moment:
Does it require specific hardware to operate, or is it just code that matters?
I understand it's not supposed to matter for the connection itself - so using the MicroUSB would work on any device that had it - but is there any hardware that needs to be present within the device itself to make it work?
I think that's what I got from this before - but didn't verify anything or look into it too deeply because of the tv-out over 3.5mm and just wrote it off.
If it does require hardware support to function in some context, maybe we can see if we actually have that hardware in the device before you spend money again.
Or do you not care and just wanna buy and try? Fine either way - just curious?
Well, the seller stated its compatible for a reason, but might be an error on his side. Also im back at my money, so ill look into this more thoroughly, looking at local stores converters and their compatibility.
But yes, if someone could verify hw specification with htc or tmo that would save time.and yes it needs hw imho.

That links to the only known public teardown of this device - it's showing how to replace part of the screen, but you have to take the whole device apart to get to that and pictures were taken at each step.
If we can determine that there is specific hardware needed and what it is, so far this is our best chance to see if it's physically there. (possibly?)
If any other public teardowns are found, definitely post here - and if anyone knows what hardware MHL requires the device to have please post it here so we can look into this.
Don't have the time to look too deep into this tonight, but i'll definitely post anything relevant I can find towards determining whether it's possible or not.

I just might buy that teardown found here:

...that _atlien_ posted about here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17482235&postcount=2
I've gone to that page probably once every 2 or 3 weeks since it was posted and thought about buying it, maybe next time but every time I get closer to going for it.

That aside though, any public resources along these lines anyone has found would be appreciated. I think the idea that it needs hardware makes sense or any device could just do it with the right code - but not sure and could be wrong. We need a conclusive determination on this.
well,ive found a local store with mhl stuff, i think these are pretty much the same converters. Going to give it a spin with the Sensation based rom and stock.

Looks like the ds kernel doesnt have a driver for it. Im gonna try to merge a driver to see if its a dormant part or theres no such hw in ds at all.

ok. i think MHL is a not going to work, looking and digging for it.
The chip is called 'sii9234' that sensation and shooter (evo3d) seems to have by default in the kernel. Looking for this chip on google related to our device I see nothing relevant...
there would be no sane reason to not include the driver if the chip is on board, that would be like worsening the market position of it. So i wont buy this cable, till someone can confirm that the sii9234 mhl chip is on the board.
