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.

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?
Anyone tried this with good results?
My results:
I use the free "device check disabled" version of the Netflix app, and it operates great on my stock unrooted DroidX. Watched entire movies over 3G with no problems. Works over WiFi too.
Got myself a HDMI cable for the phone to TV (less than $4 incl. shipping, from Amazon)
I've tried using the free "Xternal Display for Droid X" app to send output to an external HDMI monitor.
Works for a couple of minutes, then quits.
I suspect the "Xternal Display" app is getting swapped out by the Android OS, and that kills the TV output.

There's an app in the market called realhdmi that works I haven't tested it on netflix yet but it works great with youtube videos
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I purchased the hdmi app from the market. Afterwards Netflix started right up on my tv. No luck before that. It is somewhat of a pain to use. What you see on your tv is not what you see on your phone. Takes some time to get use to.
This makes the DroidX the smallest Netflix streaming device for a TV?

I've been using the same app and ut works it just randomly stops working alot and I have to reopen the xternal app. But you could try using the paid app realhdmi, I haven't had any issues with that

sorry, i think iphone 4 and ipod touch 4g are smaller, and officially support tv-out with component, vga, and hdmi (with proper cables/dongles). i wish my droid x officially supported hdmi out for anything useful.

I'm hearing real hdmi doesn't work under Gingerbread yet. Can someone confirm?
Also, under Froyo, has anyone watched an *entire* Netflix movie using real hdmi without any problems?

Realhdmi works on gingerbread as of a few weeks ago.
Sent from my DROIDX
Real HDMI will do the job, but because netflix is a mobile app, the picture quality is passable when it is highest, but not watchable if your connection slows and the video quality drops.

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...

Whoops.
Anyway I've been loving this thing but I remember reading that it had built in flac support. I put some flacs on and they don't show up in the stock player. I know there are like twenty billion third party players that do everything to hand written treble clef, but is it possible to play in stock at all?

Android 3.1+ got that.
In our case, I think we have to wait for Icecream Sandwich.

I'm using Miui right now, but I cant play two of my flac's with it. They didn't work with CM 7 either, but all other did.
Hi, I was just wondering if you guys think sony will release software to enable us to use a microusb to hdmi lead or maybe even a devoloper on xda could make a program.
Also would it even be possible?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a hardware limitation. Is it not?

The USB port is not capable of video output on the Xperia Play from everything I have seen and read which is a hardware limitation.
Thats sad news, was really hoping to be able to connect to my tv. kinda wish I bought a Samsung gs2 now, not that im disappointed with my play I love it lol

Apparently there's a dock out/coming out that gives it a hdmi port.
If theres a dock that includes HDMI support, I dont see why you couldent just use a microUSB to HDMI adapter.
Apparently the dock is for the other xperias and not the play. Besides the dock would be ok for watching stuff but hopeless if you wanted to play games.

The dock itself doesn't support hdmi.
