Has anyone been able to get HDMI mirroring working on the CM nightlies? I've tried just about everything, and I simply cannot get it to work. I know that it is definitely not the cable, my TV, or my phone, because mirroring works fine on stock. Any ideas?
It works for me on build #28, but I always get black screens with no audio about every 30 seconds.

How do you get it working? Just plug it in and it works, or are you doing anything special?

Any response on this yet?
Works just fine on nightly 34. Just plug it in and my tv automatically picks it up no problem.
I'm still having horrible issues with this. My TV keeps saying 'Not Supported Mode' when I connect the phone. If I switch back to stock rom it work perfect.
Yeah I can't get my to do squat.... anything special we have to change in settings or something?

Just out of curiousity, have you tried flashing any of Faux123's roms? If so, could you get them to boot?
works for me on cm7 nightly 40,but any video playback turns the screen on and off for a split second randomly at any given time like once or twice every 5 to 10 min.but games and other apps don't do it

The same here, streaming seems to work fine, but videoplayback is a problem with the camMod from LeJay, at least when you use it's higher settings. when I put the cam on low quality, it worked oke, but that was really ugly on my full hd
I tried FullHDmod_mid, _low and _LG1.0, all the same result.
This may sound dumb, but have the people having issues changed the hdmi setting to 720p? I have had no issues using that setting. Your TV may not be compatible with the 1080p signal.

There aren't any settings for HDMI on Cyanogen.
My problem is that Cyanogen is the only ROM that supports BT gamepads but Stock is the only ROM that I can get HDMI to work. Catch 22 for my emulators but in the end I refuse to emulate without a gamepad. Touchscreen controls just don't do it fer meh.
720p

what i think is cm7 has only 1080p support setup and no auto switch to 720p or any other resolution like on stock am using eb n i have option and it works
i think you tell cm builder and all others to and the option to which switch the resolution like stock or someone to build an app

Is there any update on this? Is there a particular file somewhere that tells CM7 it's HDMI output is 1080 as opposed to 720? I wouldn't mind having either or. I'm not ready to buy a new TV for CM7 support on my G2x, lol!
I was happily surprised to notice this app hit the market a few weeks ago. Unfortunately i downloaded it, and of course it doesn't work. The app loaded fine,..looks great...feels great...but when you go to play a show it plays the HBO promo video and the TV-MA thing and then that's it. Just sits there with a spinning circle.
Anyone have a similar experience?
I'm using a TF101 with revolver ics 4.1.1 with guevors kernel.
Luckily with the recently flashed revolver, the HBO GO website actually works really well. With the stock Honeycomb and Megatron CM9 it was choppy and grainy, and constantly freezing and changing bitrates. Now the video plays perfectly with what looks like 720p, or close to it. Still, the app would be nice because navigating the website through the browser is clunky as hell.
I did manage to get the old app working with the workaround, but the quality is actually not as good as the website , and it's annoying as hell to have to switch back and forth between other apps twice every time you load it.
Anyway, jut wondering if anyone has the same issue. I guess I can live with the site since it actually works well now but the app would be more convenient.

I have the exact problem on a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and the Kindle Fire. have you resolved this issue yet?
Nope. Seeing as the website now works perfectly now, I really can't complain...so I guess I will just deal with it. The app doesn't support hdmi output anyway so..
works fine for me. watching true blood now
I'm getting the same thing. It'll show the HBO clip followed by the rating then just exit back to the app. It was working when it was first released but as of lately can't stream anything.

Hi xda forum! I'm new, my name is Stefano, italian.
I bought my new Infinity Pad and i have some questions, 'cause it's my first android device.
I noticed that the device isn't so smooth, especially in navigation. I can't understand why! Do i have to do something (factory reset? it's new...).
1- What's the best browser to get?
2- What has to be done to flash a custom rom? i read the guide, but i'm still confused ; in order to flash a rom i have to: become root, unlock bootloader, install recovery, and then how to install the rom? (zeus v4)
3- If I flash the zeus rom, how can i upgrade to jelly bean when the update comes out?
Thank you very much
1) The best browser is mostly depending on what suits the user. I prefer chrome because i use it on all of my devices and computers. Some people prefer the stock ICS and JB browser, others use opera, dolphin or firefox. (those are the top 5 browsers of choice)
2) Before you flash a rom you do need to be rooted, bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery needs to be flashed. flashing a rom isnt the hard part, its making sure you obtain root and unlock the bootloader which is more tricky. although, there are risks and things to be aware of when flashing different rom.
3) if you flash zeus's rom then you wont be able to receive the OTA update. you will have to wait until someone posts a rooted and unlocked version of the OTA.
read up on the forums about rooting and unlocking bootloaders and understand what it does BEFORE you start doing it. you need to understand all the potential risks involved and get familiar with ADB and its basic commands. when you start rooting and unlocking bootloaders you may run into problems and brick your device. with it being your first android device, i suggest you take the time to learn android and what kind of features it offers before you dive into changing system files and flashing roms.

ADB Commands

Thank you very very much!! For the moment, i just disabled some stock application that were annoying. Now i will practice with the system..
Another question: I downloaded and installed the package of flash player but nothing happens. Note that in the stock browser i checked "Activate plug-in" in -Always-.

First of all: all of the above in the answer of Vegandroid is correct.
Some also say Boat browser is the fastest and (overall) best browser yet for the tf700.
Maybe you should reinstall Flash, since the stock browser should always display Flash correctly.
Hope this helps!

I solved the problem downloading from a different source the .apk .. Now all works fine.
A different matter instead is that i noticed some stuttering in scrolling pages (in browser, supernote ecc ecc) it seems like it suffers from bad management of animations .. for example when i scroll a simple pdf file it isn't very smooth.. is that normal?

Glad you got flash working!
I don't see a lot if any stutters with mine.
Try to use task manager to kill off anything running in the back.
Go into settings and try to disable some of the crapplications you can do without too.
These were suggestions from other guys here at XDA they helped me a bit.

The first thing I do with any of my android devices from ICS on is go into Settings/Developer Options and either reduce animation settings to none or at least to .5. This helps to increase smoothness in scrolling.

Already done .. Maybe is just me , i'm not handy with android os and i can't tell how much the lag is.. i also disbled some stock apps.. i feel like some animations aren't smooth at all.
Android 4.0 isn't as smooth as iOS. It gets better with 4.1 but it's hard to tell how much improvement we'll see on the Infinity.
And I would stay away from taskmanagers. Android can handle that on its own most of the time. If an app is misbehaving its enough to kill it in the settings/app section.

I can say this - Jelly Bean on the Nexus 7 is *very* smooth - I'd go as far to say maybe even smoother than iOS (I also have an iPad 1 from when it originally came out). Jelly Bean is very smooth (and stable) on the Nexus 7 - I'm hoping it's similar on the TF700...

yes, i was playing with one yesterday at work. i have 4.1 on my s3 and its sweet and smooth. ios just doesnt have the kind of software issue that android does, gpu rendering is still not fully optimized for android devices. thats no way keeping me from using android, but its not like ios is a completely **** os compared to android.
EDIT: also to the dude who wanted to get flash working.... pointless to do it now because once JB is released adobe isnt supporting it.
Is anyone using their G Tab as a media center with the dock? I am thinking about using it stictly as a tv media center now. If you are, could you tell me how you are using it? Or give me some ideas. Like what apps and ROM to use. My main use will be streaming movies and web surfing. Thank you.

I've been using my GTab and dock for watching online video from WatchESPN and Fox Soccer on a TV. Now that there are JB ROMs available with HDMI audio and video I had planned to explore the GTab's full potential. To be honest I didn't know there was an Android version of XBMC. Ironically I've been trying to get XBMC installed on a Raspberry Pi, which I finally got last week. I'll post on how it goes with the GTab. Good luck.
I just load movies onto the micro sd card and use HBO GO.
Also use it and my Gametel pad to play NES, SNES, Sega Master System, and Genesis roms.

Thanks Tobalaz,
What rom are you currently using?
Funny thing is I have been trying to do this since I got my dock about a 1.5 years ago, but have not been completely happy with it.
I am using Frankentab right now, but I should explore other options again (been out of it since mid summer when I got a TF201 and gave the gtab to the kids). The biggest use I get out of it as a media center is for using it as a digital picture frame and for listening to music that I have on the microsd. The dock is plugged into my TV and stereo, so for those two instances it works great.
As for watching movies...I have been slowly converting my DVD collection to .m4v files with handbrake and have been happy with the outcome. The problem is I store the movies on my NAS drive and stream them. When using my TF201 they normally play without a problem. The gtab on the other hand has problems keeping up with the transfer rate and has to buffer frequently making watching a movie this way impossible. I could download the movie to the gtab then watch it seamlessly, but it takes too long to download, and it really defeats the purpose of what I am trying to do.
I will have to try a few other ROM's maybe to see if I get better results.
Cheers!

Black Jellybean.
When I'm playing a game or watching video it works great.
I get freezing between tasks time to time, still messing with settings seeing if its just me or the rom.
It does everything I want it to, and as far as I know is the only 4.o or 4.1 rom with a fully functional hdmi dock.
Been using it about a month, before that I used Beastly/Clemsyn Froyo up until I got my Gametel and for some reason it just flat out refused to sync with my controller (wouldn't recognize as an input device) but it was fantastic for video.
But for what I want, I need to use Black Jellybean or find a Froyo rom that will work, and since I've only been tinkering with BJB for only a month (had my Gametel just a little longer than that) I haven't ran through the 2.2s to find a complete list of compatable roms.
If I can't get it to run smoother I'll probably start toying around with various 2.2 roms again and get my flash back. Who knows, maybe it only seems to run slow for me because B/C was just wicked fast.
As far as the Gametel goes, its a nifty little controller. I went with it over a PS3 controller just because I could snap my Evo 4g into it and play my 8 and 16 bit roms on the go, but its a little smaller than I like. Not bad, but it won't work at all unless you update it via pc once it charges and the instructions are a little bare, but for me experimenting and learning are half the fun of having my electronic toys.
media center dock
Well being honest Frakentab is outdated. (still a great and stable rom) I was using Flashback 10.3 before I updated to the ICS/JB roms. I had smooth buttery playback. HD videos and smooth streaming without any buffering hiccups. As mentioned I have TDRH JB 1.32 remix rom that I am using now. I just set the lcd density to 140 and it seems even smoother! I am actually having one issue and that is music playing when the screen is off. Never had that issue before..I mean you have like a second lag if anything but this is the best JB out there that I have tried. I use netflix, currently no Hulu app that I can use properly..(something seems to keep this rom from playing hulu streams) When it comes to browsers, it kinda lacks because of the constant lagging. It isn't terrible but flash isn't supported on this rom. Work arounds exist but wanted to let you know that. Playback through your sdcard is sweet. I have really no complaints, the better your rom/hd cable/ tv/projector the better. I love my dock it saddens me when I read people don't really get much use out of it...
I wish i could get the Vegan Tab smoothness and stability back with out losing app compatability. It was the best experience for me. Especially for web browsing.

Last time I tried to use the dock for HBO Go I got an error that the app did not support HDMI Out. Has that changed, or how did you get around it?
Update:
I just flashed Smooth_Bean1.3.2 and am streaming a movie from the NAS drive. The buffering is a lot less now. Wish I could overclock higher than 1.2, but for now this is livable. This ROM seems to be working really well so far for everything that I normally do.
If anyone has a suggestion for a different ROM that might be able to stream my videos more smoothly I would appreciate it. I pretty much just leave the Gtab on the dock anymore, so using it to stream movies would be great
Using MXPlayer and switching from Software Encode to HW Encode is working a lot better. I just had a couple buffers/pauses at the very beginning of the stream and have been watching without problem for over an hour now.
I think this will work. Now to just install all my apps again.
OK, I found a few more things to note.
H/W encode mode is now seemless after a restart.
Music playback does not work through the dock. A simple work around for now is while on the dock the 3.5mm jack for external speakers/headphones still works.
So, for my two main "media center" functions, SmoothBean works great for me.
Good Luck. Hope this info helps

Really?
I've never had to do anything to get my docked G Tablet to share HBO on the screen. I always thought it was because there wasn't any type of hdmi plugged directly into the tablet and I figured that's what it was looking for. Couldn't get it to work with a micro hdmi and my Evo or family members' Razrs or Bionics, and I've never heard the complaint before.
Guess I'm just lucky?
Thanks F'n Around,
Thats some good info, i will definatly try out the smooth bean rom. Ive been debating going in that direction any ways. Are you using MCIFS to access you movie files remotely? And has anyone tried out the app Mizuu? Its a good little app for your movies. It pulls in all the meta data for them.
@ MechAniX.one- I guess it is MCIFS. I just access my NAS drive via my wireless network. I have not tried Mizuu. I haven't heard of it before now. I'll give it a shot sometime today.
Thanks for the recommendation on Mizuu. It looks really promising. Too bad it doesn't support networks yet as all of my movies are on my network and not on my tablet.

Yah, but if we could get the XBMC to work on our Tabs we would be set. It has all that included. I havent had a chance to mess with it yet. You should try. :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813089
Well I installed the XBMC. I didnt realize that it was just an app that needed to be installed. I installed it and it ran good for a little bit but then it started to make the screen flash and it became unresponsive. From what I got to see it looks very promising. You can even change skins for it. If I can figure out how to fix it that would be great. I might try it on a different ROM. Right now I am using Dirty Bean.
I have run both Mizuu and XBMC and prefer Mizuu. XBMC does not recognize all of my movies on my NAS for some reason. Mizuu seems to work pretty good with CIFS. I set up a cif folder with "CifsManager" (free from the Play Store) and am happy with it so far. I really prefer the interface with Mizuu and it seems to be a little easier to set up. It is nice that XBMC offers more options to make it full media center, but I really only plan on using it for movies.
I hope that Mizuu eventually offers true network support as I think it will be even easier to use.

Im using CM 9.1 by scverhagen.
Yeh I have the same rom as you CM9 R8 and to me the image on the screen isnt as clear but when you take a pic it seems the resolution turns out better than you expected. I also noticed that the camera button on the side of your phone doesnt work which is lame I really liked using that for picture taking it was handy but oh well cant be perfect for a rom. If you want also do what I did, I just downloaded other camera and video apps. Way better than the stock app and on the screen they show up as better resolution than the stock app
Yeah, unfortunately the camera apps that come with CM/AOKP ROMs are very lacking on this phone, compared to the stock camera app. There are some third-party apps that do reasonably well, though. I like Camera360.

The black bars on the side is because the phone has a 16x9 screen but the picture is being taken in the 4:3 ratio. It's the same thing as watching an old tv show on a new widescreen tv.
Talking about our camera, has anyone figured out a way to port our camera to Cyanogen? That's the only thing that's stopping me from flashing a Rom, considering I've had this phone for a year.

Well I'm running the RemICS_UX port from the HD2. Not bad of a rom. It's over samsungized but I'll find a theme for it. It claims to have the 1080p recording so lets see how that works out.
I personally don't care for all the "features" of the stock CAMERA app since I can always download a 3rd party app that will be on par. I only use night mode, macro and automatic. My main concern is 1080p recording (and that the mic doesn't sound so crappy).

I believe the 1080 not working has more to do with HTC Android drivers for the camera, rather than the available choice in the software.

Yeah, trying to record in 1080 makes the button useless. I'm starting to feel that the phone doesn't have real 1080p feature. My last phone was a Huawei Comet/U8150 and I had a very similar issue with the camera. Turned out that the phone had a 2.0 megapixel camera that was made to look like a 3.0 by the stock software. It was a sorry excuse of a camera.
I'm going to have to think about this one. I wonder if we could somehow port or rewrite a code to get 1080p working. Sadly, I know nothing about android development. My main thought was to sit the htc camera apk on top of cyanogen but I've read up that it's not that simple.... which I find weird considering someone has the beats by dre stuff on their mytouch4g slide rom.
Its not to complicated to understand but it is to fix. You see it does have true 1080 recording and it still one of the best cellphone cameras to date. Thing is if you want to run a custom ROM that is not based of the original T-Mobile release then some things may not be the same, the camera being one.
Unless you can get ahold of the proprietary camera drivers or write you're own you will be missing much of what is available. And any app based off the HTC framework will not work of different, such as cyanogen or even aosp.
Even phones that have been nearly torn apart by some super smart people doesn't mean that everything imaginable is possible or at least not easy. Try running sense on a Samsung phone, not too easy. Just saying be happy for what you have unless you know a sneaky backdoor to these issues that no one has thought of yet

I already imagined that it would be hard. Such a shame...
