Yeah but are you able to have full HDMI capabilities, such as viewing your homescreen in like landscape mode. Thats what I'm trying to figure out. Im on Apex 1.4.1 as well and can only view images/video with the blur gallery. As soon as i click out, the screen goes blank.

Real hdmi does work on apex 1.4.1, but I can't get full screen like video player. additionally today I discovered that the video player for apex plays divx avi full screen on my tv. Just like movies app does mp4. It was awesome.

Google Movies on Rooted Xoom

If you rent a movie though the market on your Rooted Moto Xoom and try to play it in the Google movies app you will get an error 49 (rooted device not allowed).
But if you go to www.youtube.com in the browser and login you can then play your movie.
I have done this process on my Rooted WIFI Xoom with 3.2. (Desktop UA string). Just thought I would share...
This will only work if you are connected to a network. So if you can tether or if you have a Verizon Xoom you should be good to go mobile. Or you can always use WIFI.

How many movies did you try it with?

one so far I wanted to put it on here so others can try... I will try a few more movies this week.

Yeah nice tip.

Wait- so after logging into you YouTube you jump back into your Google Movies app and it works or.......?
Do you watch the movies on YouTube using the browser?

Watch movies on YouTube though the browser. Could of been more clear.

I only rented a SD movie in my first test I will try an HD soon the SD was very smooth.

Has anyone else tried this yet? What are your results?

just tried on my wifi xoom 3.1 with unlocked bootloader using the Bourne ultimatum (favorite movie) and it worked perfectly without a hitch.
this workaround will be useful until someone can figure out how to watch them in the movies app.

hmm... maybe if you did you tube sees the screen size in the browser and limits to 480...

im a newbie, so I apologize for the hand holding but can you please explain exactly how to view a Google video through the YouTube browser? I ordered a movie on Google videos and signed into YouTube, but where do I go from there? Thanks

if you type in"about:debug" (without quotes) in the browsers address bar you will get more settings. go to settings>debug>uastring and change it to desktop. then reload youtube and on the homepage there should be something like "don't forget to watch your movie" and that's it.

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?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

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.

Poor Flash Player Performance in CM7 Beta

Hi, I just recently flash my Atrix from stock 2.3.4 to CM7. Everything runs OK except for flash player. Does anyone else have the same problem? Is there a way to fix it?

Update to flash player 11 in the market and that should help. I use CM7 daily and have no issues with flash player

I just did, but the problem persists, I seems like it only work with 360P or lower resolution. Anything above 360P and it becomes a mess. You should try a Youtube video with 480P resolution

This is a known issue with cm7 itself, not just the atrix version,

So, I'm stuck on 360P resolution if I want to view flash content? I know this bother most of you, but is there a fix coming anytime soon?

i dont know about a fix, but ya it bothers me..

I don't have any issues either. I also use adobe air with that. That seams to help out the flash player a ton.

I had these problems, HD videos would hang on first frame or would be a mess of colours, there was an update, now it's better

Does it have gamepad support? And it would be great if you could hook up a mouse through the keyboard dock and play SC2 on a tablet.

So to use spashtop one needs to be on the same wifi network as their desktop?
Or were you talking about splastop 2, or are they the same thing?

Spashtop2 is out on my pcs - but requires a login now with their services - blergh
i got it when it was on sale a cpl of weeks ago - its nice since you can not only play games but also use it as RDP which is nice.
You only need to be in the same network if you don't sign in - otherwise you can connect using your google account

Surely looks awesome!
How is the client on OSX, anyone tried it out?

its not available on google play yet right?

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

make sure you get the thd version if you're using a tegra device. It's faster good for games. Although you must be on a fast network for this to work smoothly.
I've been playing diablo 3 and it works but it's not the best for fps games since they require good reaction times. If you have a fast network then i'm sure you could play most games.

I currently have the non-THD version of the app so is there any advantage of getting the THD version if I do not plan on playing games (since I have ATI card that is not supported in full screen) ?

Yes an ati card won't support the full screen but you can always play windowed no borders. but if you don't plan on playing any games then you will be fine with just the reular version.

I wonder what this would be like via the Internet. I guess you would have your own cloud gaming service. Might be worth trialing if you have a descent upload connection to see if cloud gaming is worthwhile

I think there is some kind of splahtop app that is loaded into the stock Asus firmware, it doesnt show in the launcher but it is in the "Apps" section in settings
