MHL is not working. Plz advised - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using a XXLPH custom rom , does it effect the usability of the MHL function? Anyway to fixed it
Please help
Thank you

I don't know if my answer will be also valid for ICS but I had a Custom ROM based on XWKK5 and I was not able to use a MHL cable. I tried with my Stock ROM backup and it was working ...
So to know if it's a cable issue or a ROM issue, I would recommend that you restore a stock ROM backup (if you have one of course).

[Q] USB OTG with Custom ROM and Criskelo question

Hello my friends
I have 2 questions that i detect after flashing Criskelo ROM
1.
Since i flashed Criskelo ROM, i cant connect a keyboard and mouse anymore.
USB Sticks doesn't work too.
I come from Litening ROM, so what could be the problem?
I used the Search and I read in other Threads, that Samsung removed the usb otg function in a firmware is that right?
Differences between Litening and Criskelo:
Criskelo: 2.3.6 I9100XXKK5 Siyah-v2.4.2
Litening: 2.3.4 I9100XXKH3 ninphetamine 2.0.5
So is it the Android-Version, the firmware or the kernel?
And is it possible to solve this problem?
2.
I did'nt see any Criskelo Folder in my System under sdcard
No Criskelo-Addons Folder, which means no JKay and when i want to start JKay via Criskelo.apk it says:
Error 601: No correspondending Activity was found
Thanks for any help!

Pls help a newbie!
download criskelo rom again, it looks likes you have a corrupt version.
also check to see if the add on foldert is not on your external sdcard.
thanks
Thank you for the information!
I try this later.
But i think it doesn't help, because i had this Problem by UltraToxicRom too.
I made a full wipe when moving
Anoyone some information about the usb otg problem?
im using criskelo v34 rom and for me works otg cable, what kernel are you using?
Kernel Version
I'm using Kernel Version:
2.6.35.15-Siyah-v2.4.2+
I've tested
- USB Connector, which handles Mouse and Keyboard over Bluetooth (worked with Litening ROM)
- USB-Stick FAT32 (not tested with Litening)
Both didn't work with UltraToxic and Criskelo...
I didn't get the message, that usb got connected

Strange Thing
i had otg cable problems with 2.4.2 kernel version, try to flash latest version and see if it works
Try it Later
Thanks for Information
That is good possible then UltraToxic has 2.4.2 too i think.
so i'll inform later if it solve the problem...
If anybody has an idea about the Criskelo-Addon-Folder problem, pls say it.
I'm mainly interested in JKay, so if noone can help i install Jkay manually
direct link for jkay thread as a stand alone file.
pick the version that match your phone firmware and flash.

[Q] MHL Cable support?

Hi my name is chofny and i have tried many custom roms....
I cant find anny rom that support the mhl cable...
If some one can use the mhl cable can you plz tell witch rom you have and make a vid how you connect the cable 2 tv and how evrything should be done... maby i do something wrong....
thanks in advance
Chofny
As far I know stock roms only support it. But custom roms based on stock should work also
Official MIUI 4 roms and samsung roms support it
On CM9/AOSP/AOKP rom it doesn't work properly, sometimes video output without audio and sometimes only audio output...
The UI output doesn't work
EDIT: I don't really know if this will solve MHL on cm9 but here here is the commit from codeworkx about HDMI some hours ago

Didn't you already ask this question in the Wanam v13 thread?
Twice?
EDIT to add: I also did a search for "MHL" in that thread, and in addition to your two posts, there are over 20 other posts either inquiring about MHL and whether or not it works, and a large number of posts that report that it DOESN'T work on this ROM.
If you want MHL be guaranteed to work, flash a stock Samsung firmware. Custom ROMs will have varying degrees of this functionality - some will work partially, some will work completely. But only a stock Samsung firmware is guaranteed to work with 100% certainty, barring hardware issues.

Just flash another ROM and see if it's a wanam issue.
As some of the posters mentioned it is a rom related thing.
MHL will usually only work with Samsung based roms. I can confirm that XXLSJ Biftor 4.7 JB and NeatROM 4.1 XXLS8 both work with MHL.
I've had some other roms in the past work but I they're not JB as you are requesting.
Some roms will not do the mirroring but work with video only.
no wanam for the OP.
Or no MHL.
Or whatever.

The MHL cable only works with Samsung stock roms or custom roms based on stock.
Mine is working fine with stock XWLSD & Apolo kernel.

can you give me a link to that rom and kernal please?
The kernel I use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/kernel-t2291756
I am using Apolo_4.13_Regular-TWRP.
For the rom I suggest you find out what rom is latest official rom for your country/phone (in my country XWLSD is latest official rom).
If you want custom rom then search in the I9100 development threads for stock based custom rom and verify it has MHL support.
