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...

Is there anyway way at all to mirror out to a tv?

Is there anyway way at all to mirror out to a tv? I want to see what's on my nexus on my TV. I have been reading for almost 3 hours doesn't look like you can. Please help. I know Samsung cords dont work because n7 doesn't support mhl at all, miracast probably won't happen to us at least any time soon, nexus q will only stream your videos and not mirror whats on ur screen, and there's some thing pi rasp idk exactly what's its called. Is there anything that works? Sorry there's probably a thread about this I scrolled down for 10 mins and didn't find one. I will update my first post with any findings to help anyone easier.
Thanks everyone!

too much trouble for me to do though

There is if you have an AppleTV, it's called AppleTV Air Play Media Player by Zappotv and it's in the Google Play Store. It's pretty cool it uses Apple's Air Play protocol to send your Nexus screen's picture or video to your big screen TV.

[Q] Netflix and youtube app

Hi,
So xbmc on the ouya is pretty much the best experience i´ve gotten so far on a small setup! love it.
But when i install the netflix apk, its really hard / impossible to navigate with the D-pad, plus the quality of the stream seems to be aimed at mobile phones. Anyone gotten a better APK where you can browse with the d-pad and get a good quality stream?
And youtube, i managed to install the youtube APK, and the streams are looking great, but i cant login, plus it seems i just find the stock mobile version, ive heard that the google tv is alot better, but does it enable log in as well?
Sorry for the wall of text, but these are the 2 missing features i really want.

I have installed the tv versions of both apps and they are easier to navigate. No problem logging in but I do have the google store mod.
Netflix quality can be poor at times.

Oh awesome thanks. I'll check it out after work. I thought that was the regular phone version for some reasons.

This was the same version I had already. It still doesn't work well with controller without touch pad and quality still sucks for a tv unfortunately

Did you ever figure this out? My wife hates me for putting for taking out our ****ty streamer and replacing it with the Ouya. On Netflix, can't scroll through right or left when picking when you want to watch and can't scroll down to select episodes of TV shows when there is more than 5-6.

The easiest solution I have found it just have a bluetooth mouse. You can just drag the screen up and down, etc as if you were touching the screen. It works pretty well.

Or you can use the touchpad of the controller to scroll. Double tab and then drag up. It's a bit sluggish but it works.
The only problem I have is that the playback stops if the controller turns itself off.

using netflix apk 1.8.1
i got the 1.8.1 working with no playback issues, and with some use of ouya control, does not pause when the control turns off.
My only gripe is the subtitles are very small... can any dev can do a modified netflix 1.8.1 apk with bigger fonts?

[Q] TV Out?

I do a lot of YouTube commentary while playing games and would like to try a Nova 3 or Modern Combat 4 walkthrough, just for sng's as nobody seems to be doing it for android games too much. I've been using BBQ screen with my PC and the framerates are good enough to consider using it, but the quality is awful at low settings (naturally) and anything higher than around 65 drops frames below 20fps on the receiver side and still looks really dodgy. Reading up on the subject of MHL and there is apparently no support for this on the RAZR m. What about the 3.5 mm RCA adapters? Or is MHL actually supported? Is there any other way of recording my screen and retaining half decent quality and framerate without theuse of a camera pointed at my screen? ZScreen and screen cast also don't work

There isn't any way to do TV out on the RAZR M (other than VNC)
Maybe someone will adapt screen sharing on chromecast.

And VNC is pretty much a slideshow. As far as I know chromecast already has screen sharing. Like, isn't that the point of the thing? Lol

My bad, the word I was looking for was device mirroring. All that the chromecast does (at the moment) is stream videos from YouTube, content from your Google account and Netflix. All your phone does is serve as the remote control.

Ah I see. Maybe if that becomes a thing I'll be more inclined to take a look at a chromecast

I had HDMI out on my prior device, and I used a grand total of one time in the phone's 2+ years of usage.
it's nice to have, but I never needed it, as other, easier options were available.

Screenbeam pro issues

This wireless display is killin me. First the resolution won't go higher than 800x600 when it's set to duplicate my screen, so many apps won't work. I can make it full if I extend the screen though. Audio plays through the tv when playing local files, but xbmc, it only plays through the tablet speakers
Anybody else have this device and the same problems as I??
