So There are tons of great Roms out there and many of them are lacking one thing..HDMI landscape mirroring, So I created this thread in order to try to remedy this. I hope its the right place for the Thread, I don't know where else to look for the answers. I'm hoping that together we will be able to create a flashable zip. Any help is welcomed!

Q&A is where this goes. If you figure out a FIX, THEN it goes here in Development.
Best bet...look on Google to see what devices have working HDMI mirroring for the rom you are looking to use, and see if you can pull some from it and get it working on the Photon.

just to clear things up before my 101 arrives in a few days : is the cinema plugin needed only for the mpeg2/ac3 5.1 combo or also for mpeg2 video in combination with some other type audio, and ac3 5.1 audio in combination with some other type video? in other words, is any of the two in a media file enough for the cinema plugin to be needed or do they both have to be present? h.264/ac3 5.1 combo works without the plugin? i guess not but i'd like to make certain...
thanks!

no.
thanks for the answer!
now, i have several video clips with h.264/ac3 5.1 in an mkv container. i'm trying to transcode these clips into mkvs or mp4s with the same video stream (so, video direct stream copy) and transcoded audio to either ac3 2.0 or aac that archos supports without the cinema plugin. none of the transcoders i tried seemed to be able to do this: mediacoder, super, handbrake (i'm not even sure if handbrake supports direct video stream copy, i wasn't able to find it) - they all failed. has anyone tried to do this and can recommend a good transcoder? i don't want to re-encode the video, just the audio stream.
thanks!
try vlc, ok it's a bit complicated but it definitly supports reuse of streams on the fly.
and do not reencode to ac3, afaik ac3 is completely depending on the cinema plugin
You can also use rock player free, although it leaves buttons on edge

AFAIK no hw accel at all, right?

yes, i read that everything above 540p is choppy without hw accel on a101.
i used a workaround that works but it's not ideal: i demuxed the ac3 5.1 audio stream from the mkv and re-encoded it into aac, then remuxed it back into the mkv. this works but it would be nice to have a one-step process to do this. i'm not sure what goes wrong with all the transcoders if you use direct video stram copying, i must be doing something wrong ... i'll be grateful if someone has any ideas. oh, and i haven't tried vlc yet - didn't even know it features transcoding, too...
thanks!
...or i'll just buy the freaking cinema plugin, it's only 15€ after all ... it's just that i like fooling around with free tools before i buy something which is not necessary and is something which should've come free with the product imo... oh, well
cheers
You got two options:
a) transcode all your movies/videos and spend couple of hours fooling around (how much $$$ is an hour? )
b) spend 15$ and be happy with the best video player available on archos' android devices
Okay, I have to ask. Can someone give a link to where you can buy the cinema pack? I've been trying to find it at store.archos.com or whatever and I can't find it. And yes...I feel pretty stupid about it since it seems everyone else knows where to buy it.

You have to put in your product key and it should give you the option for the plugin.
Don't feel stupid; the Archos site is awful and half the links don't work right. The above link that blazingwolf posted should work. Note that when you do successfully purchase the pack, you will get a download link presented on the web page - that one does NOT work, or at least it didn't for me... it kept saying invalid product ID.
I had to use the link in the email they sent out after the order was completed. That one downloaded fine.

Thanks Wolf! Or is it Blazing? Either way, thanks. I'm tempted to get it, but on the flip side I'm not sure if I will keep the 101 or upgrade to the Xoom WiFi only tablet. I don't really NEED more than the 101, but you know...in reality I probably didn't even NEED the 101 to begin with. I'm kind of rambling...so I'll post now and put down the keyboard...

Hello
At the moment I'm stuck and happy on the Neutrino 2.9
I've the lapdock but I can live without the webtop... hdmi mirroring is enough for me, especially when I can change the DPI
The only problem is that with any DPI setting I've fuzzy/blurred text, and it's very annoying to read... I've no problem when I play a game or I watch videos
Is there anything I could try? Any fix for this?
Thank you!
HDMI resolution
Take a look at this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501414 I don't know if it will work with your rom.

Greetings,
I am running MeanBean 3.09 (thread link below). I have searched the forums a cannot find an answer but wanted to make an enhancement request to the ROM. I am a noob and am not allowed to do so. I currently use AppRadio2 with ARLiberator and it works perfectly. The only problem is when I use apps like YouTube and PVStar+, the HDMI mirroring does not show options on the screen. Options like; pause, play skip ads, and the ability to fast forward videos. It only mirrors the video. I must control the video through my phone which is annoying when you are driving because it is in the glove compartment. Can any one assist with this issue or kindly put in an enhancement request on my behalf? Thanks in advance!

Hello,
has anyone the android 5.1 rom like this Erisin has it?
http://www.erisinwholesale.com/spec...015v-8-android-51-car-dvd-gps-player-466.html
And will it be compatible with my KLD: http://www.autopumpkin.com/pumpkin-...link-obd2-wifi-3g-steering-wheel-control.html
I saw already that with the last kgl rom on the Huifei file mirror my buttons not work.
Thank you
This looks like the standard Hueifei setup. It seems that they are using exactly the same Bluetooth phone app and the same radio app. And the optics look almost exactly the same. I was looking forward to Android 5, now less so.

You can find soms video's of Android 5.1 running on a VW device. Just google joying Android 5.1 and you find 2 video's on YouTube. And yes the launcher looks the same as the one used in android 4.4. All the rest is lollipop, settings etc.
So if you dont like the looks just change your launcher
It would be awesome if it has usb Mic support enabled for people like me that don't want to do the mod to fix the ****ty mic.

Hi there,
i hope I'm in the right section.
So long story short:
I have here a Sony Xperia Miro (mesona) and i found a almost fully working cm10 rom for this device.
I noticed it doesn't playback audio to bt devices.
Both ui sounds and media does play on the phone's speaker.
Inside a logcat it seems like it's connecting, enabling a2dp but then routing back audio to phone speaker.
I was wondering if it's possible to fix easily (maybe a bad config file?)
Do you guys have an idea.
It would be a perfect mp3 player if bluetooth audio works.
Thank you so far
Hey, I have the same phone. I stuck on ICS because of the same reason (bluetooth audio not working). What you can do, like I have done, is go to this site: https://shivangdave.com/roms/ via the wayback machine (go back as far as 2016 and pick any snapshot), and get AOKP kitkat. CM11 and Carbon (kitkat) roms are available, but they're slower and buggier than AOKP. You'll need to flash the boot.img from the AOKP zip via fastboot for the rom to boot, and voila! Everything except the camera and brightness slider works in this rom (you can fix brightness using lux lite), including bluetooth audio. And if you don't install GApps, and just sideload the apps you need, it's pretty smooth. It even works great for streaming from spotify and soundcloud, you just need patience. You can also use it as a podcast player.
EDIT: Sorry if I'm a bit late to the party.

Yeah you're too late
I also found the archived download website and got at least one of the builds to boot but since it has some bugs, i switched back to cm10 and had a deeper look into it.
And it's indeed a bad config file.
Don't remember which one i guess it was mixer_path.xml or the like.
So i downloaded a random cm10 build for another device and started comparing files.
In the end, i extracted the necessary file from the zip and throw it onto my device.
Guess what it's working!
If you're interested in the fix, i can take a look in the evening, i have everything on my pc in my personal CM/LineageOS archive for all my devices and some documentations aswell.

The file you have to replace is located in /system/etc/audio_policy.conf
The zip file is not flashable! Extract the file and place it in the directory via file browser.
Hope it works for you just as it did for me.
Thanks a lot friend
