[Q] HDMI output not working on any ROMs except stock 2.2 and 2.3

HDMI output was working on both the stock 2.2.2 rom and on the 2.3 leak, but any other 2.3 rom I use outside the ones based off the 2.3 leak will not do HDMI output. I have had nothing but trouble with this phone (Horrible screen bleed, Random reboots, boot loops, lock ups), and I only got this phone to use HDMI with emulators and the wiimote controller (which doesn't work on stock roms of course), and I was just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if there is a work around?
Currently on most recent EB 2.3 rom with most recent sv ext4 faux kernel.

I'm on eb 2.3.4 and hdmi works fine for me.

I've tried it on a monitor using a DVI to HDMI converter and on a tv using HDMI and neither works.

Mine worked great on ultimate rom. Play angry birds on 50 inch LCD at work.

Best rom that has hdmi working

I use hdmi almost daily to stream netflix and other stuff so I need this in a rom. I really liked miui but hdmi doesn't work. So which rom would be best

Any stock ROM. Weapon G2x is based on stock and it's really good, I'd recommend that.

I don't think Weapon would work for him since its 2.3.3, if he's trying to use netflix.
...unless netflix is working now for Weapon which if that's true when did that happen?
Edit 9/22/11: netflix has received an update and it works w/ weapon now!

You are sol. The roms that work with Netflix don't work with HDMI and the roms that have HDMI working Netflix don't work.

Its a fantastic rom and I know netflix works on it, and a friend of mine says he is using the same rom and that HDMI is also working on it.
Sorry cant say for sure (cant find my HDMI cable to try for you)
hope this helps!

CM7 nightly 143 works for me for Netflix and HDMI to my 1080p tv. At a friends house I couldn't get it to work (the HDMI) and after a lot of digging realized that CM7 HDMI only works on 1080, he had a 720 tv. CM hasn't built the HDMI setting that were in the stock rom, which exist in a lot of other roms though, like miui and xboarder, which netflix might work with if your tv is 720. Good luck.

CM7 works with HDMI
I just rooted and installed CM7 yesterday. I installed Netflix and am using it at this very moment with the HDMI connection.
G2x with CM7 2.3.5

noob...sorry about the lawn thing
I am running CM7 nightly build 146. My HDMI works flawlessly with netflix, but when I try to stream an avi/divx file it drops out. It comes back for a minute or so and drops again. I am thinking of changing to trigger, but other than the HDMi the phone is kick ass. Decisions, decisions...
Please don't yell at me. I'm sensitive

Should I buy the Transformer?

Hi guys!
I'm planning to buy the TF101, but I'm not sure about a couple of things.
Can it actually play 1080p videos? Or 1080p YouTube videos? Is the YouTube app streams over 1080p?
Or we must open the browser if we want to watch it in high resolution?
How many hours it usually lasts with watching videos?
Is it fine with the stock ICS, or I have to switch ROMs in order to get a decent tablet?
I would greatly appreciate an input from those who have the TF101.

If u buying new, rather get something else, ics is a hit n miss on the tf101 at the moment, and asus don't seem close to fixing it honestly
I've got one, no serious issues with mine, I enjoy it
Not sure about the video playback

Hi!
Thanks for your answer. Could you please explain what do you mean by "hit and miss"? I thought all TF101 got ICS OTA.

to tell you the truth i traded my ps vita for tf101 and never looked back this thing is awsome even on stock it was good with 4.0.3 had no probs then after root cwm custom rom and kernel this thing flys and is buddery smoth would recomend it to anyone as ive had no probs with mine.

Can you play 1080p videos on it? Youtube?
I can't wait to have it, but these things stop me right now.
Does it have a USB host option?

It will play hd youtube(720p i think) however the playback is not great, actual image quality is pretty good but as soon as there is any sort of fast moving action it starts to skip a second here, a second there Really annoying as it is a priority for me also. The last firmware update was supposed to have fixed this issue but seems to have made little difference. Have finally got round to rooting and am now searching for a rom that has sorted the issue. Its not a bad tab apart from this though and if you can get it at the right price there really isnt much wrong with it

That's what I was afraid of. That I'll not get it without putting a new rom on it.
Well, that means I have to look for something else
Usb host is basically USB on-the go. I know the keyboard has it, but I wasn't sure about the tablet itself.

The nexus 7 looks awsome and has killer specs and a price tag u can't beat. But I'm just new to the TF and I love it not one regret.

I also installed it but it wasn't working properly...screen was flickering and my mp3 files refused to play....uninstalled until a better version is released.

I tested the 07-26-12 and the 07-30-12 with my HOX and TF700, HOX wouldn't work any more (did work with the 07-20-12 release) but TF700 works fine (as in: it plays video's choppy.. no hardware support, but music is fine)

I've had pretty good luck with it, but have only tried a few videos. I'm not a huge fan of the touchscreen skin they include, but its a start. I think the default skin almost works better. I hope they get the keyboard shortcuts working, as that would be nice with the dock (i've long had them memorized).
It will be nice if more people come out with android/touchscreen specific skins.

which one would you say was more stable? Because when I tried to use it on my TF700 the screen kept flickering at the home screen of xbmc...

Atm none, they're too early in development to actually use.

Not trying be a **** just don't know if you all know about this. The latest version works well and the re touched skin is great.

+1 the latest version works great... i streamed some 1080p movies off my pc's hdd and no hickups... im thinking about getting the hdmi to use it as a temporary htpc but im not sure if the hdmi supports 5.1 audio output

What is the build you have installed?
I have 2012-09-04 now... Some MKV files will now work. Lots of hickups (now i use MX Player for MKV)

Yes mkv gave me stuttering buy the files i streamed were mp4 if i remember right. Im using that version as well. They say most of the problems with the stuttering is the lack of the hw drivers...or something to that extent

[MOD] Somebody enabled Miracast for Nexus 7

I just found this on GitHub:
Somebody, called Kensuke, enabled Mircast (Streaming screen over WiFi) for the Nexus 7. I don't have mine here so I can't test it.
Maybe somebody can try it out.
It seems that he compiled the complete 4.2.2 ROMs with the addional Miracast Support.
Try it on your own Risk!

Oh man I hope this gets baked into some ROMs! This is the one feature that I really want that the N7 doesn't have...

I would love this baked into a ROM

Would love to see this become a common feature for Roms.

Tried the Tilapia package for my 3g. It almost works. I'm going to play with it some more. Documentation for his app would be great. It's not straightforward.

Have there anyone a image now?

Well this is exciting. Hopefully there's enough demand for it so we won't be limited to just a handful of ROMs to take advantage of this.

I wonder if there is any way a mod like this could be packaged into an Xposed module? Or is it such a fundamental change that it has to be baked into the ROM?
I would test this out if I had a Miracast receiver already. Also I don't want to lose the tethering menu in my current tilapia ROM, so ideally if a ROM had both Miracast & tethering that'd be great.

So you streamed your screen to your TV, no problems at all?
Is it smooth? How much does the Allshare dongle cost, I should get this instead of Android stick PC.

Tried both allshare cast dongle and Android TV stick (dual core rk3066 one), all works. Pretty much the same experience as my Nexus 4 with native wireless display.
With android TV stick, it lags a lot. Definitely not for gaming, no. But with allshare cast dongle, it works much much better..
In my country, the dongle cost me around $80
