No AOSP-based firmware has on any Exynos4 handset or tablet, it's been this way since the beginning.
There's a major rework of the whole Exynos4 display subsystem in progress by geecko that MIGHT allow this to finally work, but no guarantees.

TV Out

Ok so I have searched a bit and cannot find anything related to a TV Out for the Dinc. I know I have seen it mentioned on this forum before, but search is not showing any results.
Anywho is it possible to use TV Out on a Dinc running AOSP Rom? (Miui...atm)

I have not heard of it working with AOSP ROMs, only Sense. I don't use TV-OUT at all, but seeing posts about it, it doesn't work with AOSP.
At this very moment, I don't believe so. Although I haven't kept up with any AOSP roms in months. That said, the news (and Verizon support PDF to go along with it) that there is a gingerbread update dropping hopefully this week will bring with it the proper files that AOSP rom developers need to incorporate 720p.
awesome hopefully video out is included in this GB update and can be incorporated into the AOSP roms.
I assume I need a miniusb to hdmi cable or something?

Maybe some one will make a sense-less script that you can use to remove sense but keep TV out on GB. i know Lou had a script that removes sense on his rom. it felt the same as AOSP
Does TV-out work on sense GB roms? I thought it was just working on froyo but I could be wrong. Assuming that source is going to be released now for GB, maybe we'll see something implemented into AOSP GB roms?
I have no clue about tv out compatibility on gingersense roms,I don't have a use for it. But I will say there are quite a few people anticipating updates in EVERY rom with 720, tv out, kernel development, or glitches being ironed out. I'm happy everyone gets a piece of the pie if and when the source is released.

I haven't seen it on any Gingerbread ROMS that I know of... I last had it on WarmZ which was Sense 2.0 on Froyo. The closest I figure I can get to AOSP with TV-Out is LauncherPro+ on the Sense ROM of choice.
I've been patiently waiting for it to show up on G-Bread. The cord is just sitting right there begging to be used lol I have no idea why they can't implement TV-Out on AOSP roms though. Seems like one of those features that just gets thrown in uknow.
what cord is needed? I assume the correct drivers will be found when the source is released.
I assume the GB source thats coming will fix TV-out in both Sense and AOSP roms.

Wow, I didn't think that existed -awesome! I'm assuming composite is as good as it gets through USB, no component or HDMI?

yup, composite is it. no component or hdmi. works well actually. though I usually just use it for podcasts through my receiver.

Its equivalent to a DVD player or a Wii; it looks really good on CRT TV's and kinda whatever on an HD flat screen... I have a 32 inch CRT and I watch movies off the phone on a regular basis, its pretty awesome
What's a CRT? ;-)
Good info though, thanks. I've been curious about the TV-out functionality of the inc.
I purchased from my Verizon store the TV out cable. Yeah, it works like the last guy said. I picked it up primarily to watch movies on my girlfriend's CRT TV. It worked great. Then she got an LCD and it didn't look quite as good.
I lost TV out once I switched from Sense to CM7. We'll see what happens with the coming GB update. Maybe I'll switch back. I doubt it, though, especially if TV out may be coming to AOSP ROMs.

I flashed the 2.3.4 leak last night, hopefully I still get tv out

video looks good, but the processing power of the phone is limited so I've had stuttering issues with higher resolution videos that would look good on an LCD. not the cables fault.

I think you can just replace CM7 kernel with my CM7 kernel release. According to one of the people who tested it, it worked fine for him. I'm not sure though since I'm not inclined to use it. I'm one of the few people who like the carousel.

great
wait the new cm7 kernel release
A bit of bad news. I tried enabling the OHCI and EHCI options but couldn't get it to work or rather, whenever I enabled them, the display won't start. All it displays is a blank screen. There's even no backlight turned on. I'll have to investigate this later.
On the bright side though, mass storage is enabled now. Have no way to test this though so I'll just get it out there later.
Hey, any new updates on this?
Anything I could do to help?
KF community would win a lot with OTG working.
I had a crazy idea that would depend on this. I have a spare webcam from my HP DV2880 and as it's pretty small, and usb, with otg working, I think that would be possible to try to make it work as the camera device. It probably draws very little power and with proper modules could work.
I'm willing to spend some time to try as soon as otg is ready!

I'll take a crack on it this weekend. I've been too tired to solder the needed USB cable after work.
O man....the kindle fire just gets better and better!
This would be beyond amazing for me, as the space on this device is such a limiting factor. Allow me to connect my USB drives and I'll be more than happy!
Dslrs
I would be especially interested in getting DSLR Controller to work on the kindle. Would look really great on top of a video rig!
If USB host mode gets enabled, would it be possible to use a Bluetooth dongle with KF or would it require additional development?

I haven't had time to work on windy in quite some time. I have had zero issues with audio stuttering myself, although I don't use my tablet that often these days. (Most of the time it serves as an alarm clock)
HDMI support has been missing on AOSP-derivative firmwares since 4.1 or 4.2 for pretty much all Qualcomm chipsets. It's something I've always wanted to take another crack at but - again, no time. Last time anyone touched it (Kondik back in early 2013 if I recall correctly) it seemed to be some oddball HDCP issue. It's been a flaw in all -caf display HAL variants for a long time. (For example, there was a brief period where mako was switched from AOSP display HALs to CAF display HALs - and SlimPort broke when this happened.)
?
Then i think, if we want Lollipop And HDMI we have to go back to original Sony ROM...
Not good....
Do you think, if there would be time, you could code a funktional HDMI ? You know what code is needed ?

If I have time, maybe. I have no idea what's needed, since I have no idea exactly why it's failing. If I knew exactly why it was failing it would likely not be difficult to fix.
What I do know is that everyone in CM seems to have also not bothered with it, as a decision was made back in the 4.2 or 4.3 days that HDMI was not a requirement for a device to receive M or Stable releases.

Hidden Features

So Iwe've got Android O now (at least a preview) and it got me thinking... as a Nexus we've got ALOT of options and settings available compared to other manufacturers (Samsung is otherwise). So what do we really have left?
aptX is partially done (check if my zip here gets it wrking, if you're usuing Android O)
QC Aqustic codec would be nice
screen resolution control (although being at 1080p, the only other mature option would be 720p)
BETTER AUDIO (every manufacterer has their own soultions and i'm sorry to say stock audio is crappy)
DTS would be nice, if Google could add it into adsp
Then I saw this...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/fluence-uhd-t3571875
"Great!" I thought. Until you look carefully and notice we have allot of that build.prop tweaks. I'm not sure about the hidden features and I'm not a fan of SoundMODS as they do more or less nothing if the flinger doesn't support it and the adsp too. Aqustic shouldn't be too hard to port as it's a QC thing and I guess we have to live with the crappy speaker.
But has anyone used this "patch"? Or would like to try?

Yes. It's patching so it should. It doesn't install anything unless you use a SoundMOD which I personally advise to avoid (but it installs cleanly since Android O still uses audio_effect files).

PETITION for: CAMERA API2 Support, lets try!

We want ZTE to add Camera Api2 support for Axon 7
why do we want it? it is easy to add! and axon 7 supports it, But is not enabled by ZTE yet.
"Camera API 2.0 is New API which allowing you much better camera control by camera apps and also increase the performance of camera.
Camera API 2.0 is fast enough to take advantage of the full resolution of the sensor at 30 fps-burst mode. This means HDR or other such computational photography should be much "cheaper" to do on Android devices. The new API also allows for much more fine-grained control of the sensor, lens and flash per individual frame".
https://www.change.org/p/zte-camera-api2-support-for-axon-7
Great idea!
In the same time would be write to send a petition
About stock player improvements or api for the sound libraries.
We have No useable player since release that fully utilizing the DAC....
What do you think?

On listening tests, neutron NOT. AIMP not tested A/B yet.
Neutron sounds differently that stock player on all settings.
I have wrote to developer, but no reply yet.
Also wrote to N7 player develeper, how he do that,
because it is the closest sounding to the Stock player. I can't say that it's exaclty same, but it is a good news listening on hiend monitor speakers or Sony headphones.
Neutron messing up the sound, and goes up until 48khz.
Thank you for the reply.

I'm on stock chinese v2.0 b13, no other custom ROM tested yet. Would be great to do A/B test with between theese two roms, but rooting custom ROM is tricky, becuase of guarantiee. I'm afraid that any problem on unlocking the phone and anything goes wrong I could no live without this phone even one day
(I could record the same sound to hi end recorders from each ROM and compare them in studio quality tests, it's not problem for me from the sound perspective, but "bricking axe" is always above us
Well how about we add --" DAC on/off "-- function toggle? for general use off, for some hi-fi moments you can turn it on, to use the very capable DAC.
What do you say? ( the more attention this matter gets, The more likely it will be taken into consideration and approved, and added .
Cheers!

That already exists and is a quick settings toggle on MiFavor 5. On MiFavor 4 it is under Sound - Hi-Fi
Did you guys actually buy this phone for the camera? I thought that it was literally the worst part of the phone.
Nothing wrong with wanting it though, if we can get the better camera api I'm all with you, but it seems fruitless for this phone unless someone can figure out how to update the firmware for our phones. I doubt ZTE will update ours until the axon 8.
TL/DR: I participated in the petition, but don't expect anything they never work. You should go over to the ZTE forums and try to request it there
