Mhl help. - HTC Rezound

So I just received my new mhl adapter. Any tips for making it work? I have never used one and am looking for what players it works with and possibly what roms it does and doesn't work on.

Only sense 3.6 roms has it running now but Newt is fixing it on Sense 4. The rest have it broken as well, Miui, cm9,..etc.
And it's a great buy, comes very handy if you want to share a video with a room full of people or presentation or some pics or something. I loved it!

And it will broadcast anything on your screen, including the launcher.

Because of the way MHL via USB works, it can't signal the availability of full capacity USB charging. So, the Rezound won't pull more than 500 mA. As a result, your phone will probably end up discharging when using MHL. Make sure it's fully charged before using it for any length of time.

Hmm I just tried it on vigor 360 and it wouldn't work... May have to restore rezrom to boot manager

Video playback

Hi guys. Just wondering if everyone else has noticed what I have. Ever since I hooked up my sph-l710 to my comp and it did its driver install my videos I play on my comp pause when I make or receive phone calls. Even when my phone isn't connected to my comp. That is a kinda cool feature. However I am wondering how is that possible when my desktop doesn't have any receiver type peripherals. It is like magic lol.

So I take it I am the only one to notice this.

[Q] Which ROM's currently support MHL?

Now that AR Liberator is functional, I've finally taken the plunge and ordered an AppRadio 2 and I'll be able to do something with an Android device that should have been done eons ago...fully integrate it for use in the car.
My question is, which Custom ROM's currently support MHL connections to other devices? The MHL connection is vital for device mirroring. Any info on the subject is greatly appreciated.

First, the rezound will not send audio over MHL. So just be aware of that.
Second, any sense 3.6 ROM is almost guaranteed to work. Everything else, forget about it. Won't work.
Yep, fully aware. Audio is generally done with the cord or Bluetooth.
Figured as much...poop . Stock rooted plus Go Launcher (for the landscape function) is not cool at all. I'm almost sick and in tears thinking about it...

Bought the android pieoner cable, had cable installed by BestBuy (which is where i bought the head unit and had it install by them) and then went and bout gs3 cause of all the reviews. Only thing that works is my phone charging, unit do see phone. Any help would be great..

Try the G3 section of the forum, this is specifically for HTC Rezounds.

The S3 needs an adapter to work with the Pioneer kit.
Looks like we may have a Sense 4.x ROM w/ working MHL!!!

Where? Don't keep us in suspense!!!
Any of the 3.6 ROMs work, but its better if you use a Launcher that supports landscape. I was using Neo's Adrenaline with Nova Launcher and the latest Funky Kernel. ARL works really well with that set up. Recently drove 15+ hours with minor issues. It's still a work in progress...still trying to figure out a way to power the MHL adapter and keep the phone charged. Once I get things finalized, I'll post the results.

Switch to a kernel that supports fast charging, that may do the trick.
This app might help too, not sure if it works on our phones, it kills the phone's screen on HDMI connect - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934495).

Fast charging? Never heard of that. Can someone suggest a rom they like. I do have appradio 2 and just waiting for adapter to arrive, so I can use my galaxy s3 on it. I'm trying a few ROMS, right now in trying Jelly'Beans 15. Next I think ill try the pac man one. Anyone know if Samsung galaxy s4 will work with appradio 2? Thinking about getting that one in may. Suppose to be awsome!

I'd try the S3 section for rom suggestions, we are all HTC Rezound users here.
Anyway a fast charge kernel let's you force the kernel to AC charge mode, otherwise it will only draw 500ma.

I've been using Snuzzo's latest. With Incredicontrol (wonderful app BTW, the best of the CPU controller apps), you can set it for fast charge. Trust me, it's an issue with my set up...I'm doing something non standard . The set up that I have in our Odyssey is standard (Pioneer MHL kit, EdoTech power supply). It charges with no issues.
The screen standby app is a must! Been using it since v1.4, no issues on the Rezound...once you learn how to work around the bugs. My wife's s3...that's a different story.

The only ROMs I've used on the the s3 w/ARL are TW based. I'm assuming that any of the TW based ROMs work. Couldn't recommend one over the other...way too many to count. I'm not certain that any of the AOSP ROMs support MHL. I've heard that CM10 does, but don't quote me on that.
When it comes to the s3, I would not recommend it with ARL. The snow issues are hit and miss, so much so that they make it virtually unusable. I've tried several adapters, and have not been successful with any of them, including the official Sammy ones.
Check the link for the site that mjones73 posted earlier. That's the place to go for ARL

Any issues/bugs/extra install things you need to do with that rom in general?

The biggest thing is the set up, which is understandable since it's HK based. Once it's dialed in, it's pretty sweet. The only real issue that I've had was GPS lock in navigation. Fixing the permissions and and applying an older GPS fix cured it. Not sure which fixed the problem, since I did them at the same time, but it works.

Hi Everyone,
Just got my Appradio 3 and was wondering if there is any updated information on ROMs that support MHL on the rezound...It appears to be working on the stock 3.6 sense ROM for me....but i am looking for less bloat or even a newer interface/gui. I have tried and love CarbonRom by Snuzzo but that did not work with MHL. Any advice for ROMs with MHL compatibility?
Thanks!

Mhl cable help?

Hey, I just bought a mhl cable off amazon with the intentions of using it to play games with my phone on my TV. When I hook the cable all up (HDMI end to my TV, usb to charger, and micro usb to phone) all I get is a notification telling me I'm connected to a video out source.
Also, when I expand the notification I'm told to start a video or slide show to view on an external monitor, which also doesn't work, and all my apps open in landscape even if I'm holding the phone upright.
I'm running newts sense 5 rom too. I actually wanted to post this in his thread but I guess I can't without 10 posts.
Thanks!
You change the input on the tv?

Sure did.

How about trying it on a stock based Rom to see if it works?
I have Viper ROM. I plug in the MHL and HDMI cable and it just automatically mirrors everything to the TV. I don't have to change any settings.
my mhl works on viper but I haven't been able to get it to work on newts rom with any of the kernals so im assuming it just that rom that wont work
Thanks for the replys guys, next time I get the chance I'll load up a different rom and report back if it works or not.

Are you sure the cable you bought is compatible with our device? I have been looking into this also and on radioshack.com and there are different cables for HTC phones and Samsung which is what I needed. Something about the pins in the micro ish.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Yeah, I made sure it was the 5 pin model. I'm thinking it's a software issue like everyone else did. I'll post my results after I test it on a stock based rom. :thumbup:

Alright, so I flashed ViperDNA and as soon as I plugged the mhl cable into my phone everything locked up and I had to do a hard reboot to get it working again. I'm not sure what that's all about, but could someone point me towards a mhl cable that they've personally confirmed works for our phone?

Alright, so I reflashed ViperDNA and then flashed Beastmode 5.0 and now everything's working great. Well except I can't get out of landscape mode while mirroring my phone to the TV but I just figured it was supposed to do that.

No, my phone does everything mirrored. Portrait or landscape.
My phone switches between portrait and landscape as well
I just use the media link and works fine for both roms

yeah this also happens to me but only when im running the beastmode kernel, no matter what rom im on. Changing kernel has worked for me but I would really like to get it working on sense 5. Also a sidenote, I Loose all signals (3g,4g,wifi and gps) randomly while my MHL cable is plugged in. Does this happen to you?

thunderbolt to jvc hd tv

how do i hook up my thunderbolt to my JVC MODEL LT-40A32 40inch TV
I'm not completely sure but I don't think the thunderbolt contains the necessary hardware or software to hook directly to a TV. Never tried it personally but if you're just trying to do like a usb connection that may work but hdmi mirroring is a no go.

Using USB Webcam?

Is there a way to connect, and use, a USB Webcam? I have it working on my Nexus 7, but thinking about using it as a rearview camera viewer.
You need otg support in the kernel for that to work. I think Santod might be adding that to his custom kernel. I will be adding that to mine as well once I get some other aspects squared away.
