[Q] HDMI Out, How? - Droid X General

I got my mom a hdmi d cable to watch media and gallery is not outputting to the tv. Am I doing something wrong? Does fission_2.5.7_BE not allow for hdmi out? Would a newer gingerbread rom be the way to go.
Sorry for the ignorance but I know nothing of the moto x. Please help.

Don't know about running on fission. There is an app in the market called real hdmi that might be able to help.

I'm not sure about fission, but if I remember correctly, the Rom cannot be de-blurred and still use HDMI out.

Sarcasm ftw.
Need a little more info, are you rooted, running a custom rom, what program are you trying to get too play on your tv? I love how people come on and post crap like this and expect a decent answer.

Not every device you plug the HDMI cord into is compatible with the HDMI stack on the Evo. For example: My LG TV accepts the HDMI out just fine, but my RCA TV causes my phone to instantly reboot.
It would REALLY help if you gave more info. What kind of movie? What player? What codec, resolution, bitrate is the movie? What kind of tv? where did you get the cable?

Try this as soon as the video starts playing unplug the HDMI and plug it back in. I have to do this all the time. You might have to do it more than once.

you will not be able to get HDMI running on ApeX unfortunately, but there are some apps like Real Hdmi that should work but you will have to pay for it...

Thank you...that's what I was thinking

The motoblur media player is what you need to use the HDMI. If there was a way to get that working, then you could. I don't think it's too hard, it's in other roms. Maybe make a feature request in the apex thread?

HDMI mirroring?

Did a search and really didn't find good info. My friend has a Droid x that is running cm. Is there any way to enable mirroring? I have an Evo and it was just an app away for me after I went to aosp. Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I know CM ROM does not support HDMI, You have better luck with Liberty v0.9
As far as I know the hardware does not support a mirror mode. I could be wrong. The only HDMI I have used is through RealHDMI, and it leaves the screen from that app on the phone while displaying my current activity on the TV.
There was a long discussion with the app dev explaining why it was impossible to mirror the display. Maybe we need a custom kernel?
I think its in the FAQs for realHDMI it says its a hardware issue...

Thanks for the help. I will pass on the info. I think he said he could show his gallery but nothing else. Damn bootloader! Haha
GPU in the DroidX does not have the processing power to output to the screen and hdmi out at the same time without affecting frame rate?
Might work for still shots and lower resolution videos...

TV-Out?

Hello I currently have a Vibrant and the phone has TV out with a touchwiz rom but switching to cm7 or miui it doesn't....I was thinking about the evo and how it also has tv out with a SENSE ROM and was wondering if you can use tv in cm7 or miui?

If you want to use hdmi mirroring, that is completely possible on any froyo roms such as mynswarm2.2
Our gingerbread kernel source code, which is needed for hdmi out, was just released, so devs are working on getting full hdmi out working on custom gingerbread roms.

Yes, with the right kernal and the right hdmi mirroring app. And the right cable.
The only thing I can get my HDMI cable to do is display youtube. lol. stupid phone. HOWEVER, NICE LITTLE FACT! what's the point if the phones can't even play back video in the MOST COMMON FORMATS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR 10 YEARS!
This would be sortof on the same subject. what is the best program to use?
Wow!
I wish we could have an app ...
We use the headphone Jack and so far there isn't any tv out!

There is, its called an hdmi mirroring app.
CM7 has certain kernels with hardware acceleration enabled for hdmi mirroring.
The app in the market is called "Full HDMI Mirroring for Evo 4G."
yxplayer2 in the market plays almost any format.

I'm also rooted and mine outputs with no issues. Occasionally the cable loosens and cuts out but I just plug it back in and it's fine. Make sure it's securely plugged in.
Mine works perfect for me

Works for me.

Cheers for the replies guys. i'll try some other cables and see if that was causing the problem!
One further thing to check is your TV settings. On my TV for example you had to enable the port in the TV settings before you could even switch to it. Also depending on what the port was defined as it may or may not pass audio. Worth digging around in your TV menus.
Snow/Noise
I have a rooted KFHD. Get frequent snowing effect on the TV when using the HDMI cable. I believe it is the cable, but have read everywhere that HDMI doesn't get noise/snow. So could it be the device or the port?
Snow doubtful.... but snow in general is doubtful
Is this hooked direct into your tv or is there a box between.

Bassbase,
Yes, we use it weekly in the office on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and a Kindle Fire HD 7", it works flawlessly on a 72" TV which we use for presentations with sound and at home I use a HDMI Converter on an old TV at home, it too works flawlessly with Netfix and Hulu. What apps are you using? Have you tried Hulu or Netflix? I can say Root is not needed to make the HDMI Port function properly nor does Root affect the HDMI Port. If you give me the App name we will test it in the office.
