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.

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.

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.

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.

Wiimote and SGS2

Hi all,
First , i'm french , so my english is maybe bad at moment...
So , i see that with the cyanogen mod , we can use wiimotecontroller to pair Wiimote with SGS2. but with touchwizz it's impossible (i'm with revolution rom..)
Someone try to take "bluetooth" files of cyano (with permissions of course) to try it on touchwizz ? or all the system block it ? thanks ..
Blue.
I wish this would happen too, but I don't think it will anytime soon.
And why would someone want to use wiimote with am android device. Could you give practical examples? I have a wii but I dont know what to do with the remote on my android
Sent from my U20i using XDA Premium App
Emulators. They play amazingly on the SGS2!
Can you imagine having everything on your phone, your favourite classic games, and you are just bored waiting around for a flight for example? Can just take out the SGS2 and Wiimote to kill some time, perfect.
Or if you have an MHL cable, hook it up for TV, and play. Better than packing up a whole console to take around with you (for example to a friends place) than having everything almost perfectly playable on your SGS2.
jpxdude +10 ! i play to Secret of mana (a old game i have on Snes) and with a wiimote , i can have a better gaming experience
Once one of the AOSP roms is ready you'll be able to link up ps3 or wiimotes to your hearts content. Not long now... Could always load the tw launcher in if you really miss it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
The issue isn't Touchwiz but the bluetooth stack which Samsung (and HTC) use doesn't support the method of pairing to the Wiimotes, where as the Cyanogen which is based on AOSP does.
The only option would be to flash an AOSP based rom.
This will be genial... Im waiting a stable pt br rom with this function
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Yeah, instead of the Sixaxis use the Wiimote. But I doubt that, because of the different Bluetooth protocol?

Why not just use said emulators on a PC that has a Bluetooth card installed? It would make more sense. I'd rather not use a controller on a device that I need to play close to my face to read the text designed to be viewed on a much, much larger display.

Lol wow indeed, I never said "just for emulators" but nevertheless, if we can have a better experience with the phone (specially for gaming) then why not?
Disadvantage of using an AOSP ROM is no TV-out with MHL support.
FYI, SixAxis Controller works on stock based ROMs. I am on stock XXKI3, and it works... so you can use this in conjunction with MHL out to use ps3 controller (tested; only works with original Sony ps3 controller - knock-off I tried does NOT work) and pipe video out to TV using MHL.
@ctomgee
did u try it out on sgs2?
i heard that sixaxis does not work on sgs2

I've got one, I think it lacks good video drivers.
Bad synk audio video, stuttering video.
It has a diffrenet wif/BT chip compared to the 802 but same SOC (I think) so the custom roms from the 802 work but you get no wifi & BT.
The BT exists but does not work with my mouse, it pairs but nothing more, I think the original ROM lacks BT mouse support.
I would say a 802 with working custom ROMs is a much better deal for the moment, but this could change anytime soon or never.
I've had one for a while and didn't use it that much until I flashed finless bob's rom for the imito mx1/2, which has the same basic internals. It is much smoother and faster than before, but this could be partly attributed to the newer kernel this rom possesses.

Vine for Android here! Bug on CM?

Hey guys,
I am the Android engineer responsible for the video playback and recording components on the Vine for Android app. We noticed that there is a bug on a rooted 4.2.2 ROM (mostly S2, prob CM related) that it did not implement one of the camera method (specifically, onPreviewFrame, the data returns null when using image buffering) that we are relying on to work properly. Just want to let you guys know what the problem is.

vine has updated.
they say its the biggest update yet for android and has new shooting options ansd camera options etc.
might be worth trying again with a 4.2.2 rom to see if it works.
i am sticking with neatrom for the min (4.1.2) as it works with instagram and vine. once both aps work with 4.2.2 aosp and aokp based roms i will go back. i miss halo and pie

i think its going to be a long wait. most aosp roms are based on CM. the problem is CM use a hacked rear camera with higher resolution. aps are created using normal android firmware so dont take into account the new hacked camera. unfortunately i think the makers of vine will see modified firmware user base as quite small so not bother to change their app and CM is unlikely to undo a better camera for the sake of 2 aps (same bug is in instagram video for the very same reason as vine)
neatrom works with them all as they are based on original samsung firmware but i prefer aosp roms but till the bugs for these 2 aps are sorted i'll have to stick to neatrom as 80% of what i do on my phone is instagram or vine related. oh well

I wish either Vine or CM and X-treme could come up with some kind of workaround.
I am missing a lot of moments that a standard photograph cannot capture and a video is too cumbersome.
I'm having to use my girlfriends iPhone when I have perfectly good Android hardware in my pocket!
By the time I have the iPhone in my hand and unlocked the precious 6 second moment is gone, FOR EVER.
Come on Vine! Can't you enable a compatibility mode or anything? :crying:
X-treme Rom v10 will be ready soon by the looks of things. Looking forward to it!
Does anyone know if this will fix the problem? (cannot currently write on all threads as I haven't enough posts)

Nasty bug. Vine seems to be the only app on cm 10.2 that does not work..
with the latest update they outright claim your device is not supported. (It worked perfectly on Official 4.1.2 roms)

That's be cause we are probably the only app that uses that special method that Samsung broke.
The same bug happens on S4's front facing camera driver, but Samsung has provided a workaround for that (we post-process the images).
On Cyangenmod, the problem is they don't even pass back a bad frame, it just passes back nothing, so we can't apply any workarounds there.

That's not true. We saw the log from CM's bug tracker, it is entirely on their side and they just won't admit it.
Apps will request 640x480 preview size, but CM will report it succeeded but record at 720x480, which is a higher resolution.
We use onPreviewFrame() to get video frames and expect 640x480 frames, but CM will give frames at 720x480.
Because we give buffer frames at the smaller size, CM will treat them as invalid buffers and then just drop the frames.
Totally insane.

Yeah I gave up. I got an S4, running AOSB and everything is working well.
The S2 is a backup phone now.
ok so apparently no one fixed this issue.. i tried a bunch of cm based roms and different versions of android and ive found problems with video upload to instagram (upload bar just stuck at middle and wont go on), vine app wont work (it just tells me that im using custom rom and there's a problem with camera), upload videos to twitter also stuck.. so it seems to me that the problem is with CM kernel and video format.
still cant believe that no one addressed this issue over 2 years now, im stunned

[Q] Bugfix for Xperia Z, ZL and co.

Hey Guys,
for our Device(s), the Xperia ZL (its also the same on the Xperia Z) we have for many months now some sound problems with nearly every custom rom based on cm. While playing music we are getting a very annoying brzzzzz sound every few seconds. There is a fix for this problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49801427&postcount=262), but this fix never did make it to a rom expect (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690755&page=19). Now my question: could you pls implement this fix into your build? Its really annoying because for now, there is simply no rom we can use if we want to play music expect stock. Another solution is to increase the minimum cpu speed, but this cause a higher battery drain.
Thanks.
