From what I've read/understand MHL/HDMI out support only works on Samsung-based ROMs. So are there any custom ROMs based on stock Samsung which have MHL/HDMI but are not as slow/sluggish as stock? I really liked CM9 when I tried it but was extremely disappointed by the lack of MHL (I use my phone a lot to watch streams/videos/youtube). So I guess I'm asking if there's anything like CM9 but with proper MHL?
Check Chameleon.

But it's a tablet launcher, how will it help with MHL?
I'm talking about hybrid ROM.

Oh right, sorry I'm clueless. This ROM looks really promising! Going to install and test now, thanks for replying so quickly!
No problem, I helped before on polish LG forums, but now I'm here

Use any Stock based custom ROM.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it the Kernel that controls the MHL/HDMI output?
So even with a stock ROM if you have custom Kernel it won't work?
No. MHL is controlled by ROM.
Sounds to me like you're trying to disguise a best ROM thread.
By the way, MHL works fine on CM9 for hardware accelerated video playback.

Yep, that's true.
Thank you for letting me know
The only reason I have remained on stock kernel was because I was told that custom kernels dont work with MHL.
Does this mean I can Flash Siyah Kernel on my stock LP7 ROM and still use MHL output?
Any help would be much appreciated!
P.S Sorry for going off topic a bit
Cheers guys
Wasn't trying to disguise anything, I just didn't know of any stock-based ROMs since I'm pretty new and don't know how to search for them or what to look for. For anyone who's also clueless: to install chameleon you need to root your phone and install the zip from an external SD card (as in a microSD) using cwm.

hey guys, ive done alot of searching and yet to find a rom with MHL working =[ i was gonna dual boot GB with siyah... then rad about the whole kernel thing! im planning to cut down one rom for business fast/long battery etc, and a second rom for power and lots of apps etc
i spent like 10 quid on a MHL really want it to work without going back to GB save me lol!
MHL works fine on official ICS ROMs.
For most people it does work, me included. But if it really means that much, why don't you just go back to GB (I know you said you didn't want to but there isn't many options here).

Hi,
I'm using slimrom for my SGS2, and the HDMI output is working, but only for videos. Anyone can tell me how to activate it in mirror mode, so I can see pictures and launcher on TV?
Thanks!

If you stay on that ROM, you can't. Currently, all AOKP/AOSP ROMs have this issue. You'll only get this working with Samsung stock ROMs and ROMs based on them

Bummer! That was not the kind of answer I was expecting
Any technical explanation why videos work but pictures don't?
Thanks!

I don't have one, sorry. You'd have to ask someone on Team Hacksung, or someone else more familiar with AOSP.
There are no available drivers that would work on AOSP/AOKP roms.

Hello. I'm relatively new to the Cyanogenmod scene in general, so forgive me if I'm a bit ignorant. I looked through the official CM10.1 threads and didn't see much in the way of actually fixing MHL/HDMI not working. I think I read that the last snapshot that had MHL working was back in February or so, but I don't remember exactly.
I'm currently running cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-jewel-M2 and have no MHL/HDMI at all. The phone doesn't seem to notice I've plugged in the adapter (except for it notices it's being charged, since the adapter is connected to an AC adapter).
Could someone inform me if there's been developments to fix this issue? Any insight is appreciated!
I had the same issue with my before car wrecked EVO LTE. I ran CM and many sense roms before basically giving up on it. Went through 2 cheap eBay adapters that worked for a bit then stopped altogether. Then the mhl/hdmi wouldn't work at all, not on any adapter or tv.
I asked a lot of other users if they had the same issue, even tried to pay a dev to look into it and was basically told it was a hardware issue.
My solution was to usb phone to Xbox for movies and use bluestacks on my pc for games/apps. Haven't yet tried my replacement EVO LTE. My original was a pre-order held up @ customs, so maybe it was faulty workmanship just bc it was new.
Hope u come up w a solution.

Are there any large differences between running CM10.1's stock kernel and Komodo Kernel? I am not entirely sure what exactly different kernels entail.
Yes with Komodo you can use swipe gestures to wake your phone or put it to sleep, also lover/increase the volume and advance power menu, etc, plus you can overclock and increase zram, etc etc etc... make a nand and flash komodo... good luck!

Thanks a bunch! I'll give it a read.
Does the S2 have any 4.4.x rom with working Allshare/Wifi Direct?
I'm searching, but there are too many roms
Thanks.
No.
Tw framework needed.
This is asked at some point in every custom ROM thread.

the s2 has wifi direct, but also in AOSP 4.4.2 kitkat roms?
Because I maybe want to buy the chromecast instead of a mhl cable. They have the same price, but with chromecast I can use the charger in my phone and with the mhl not always.
The chromecast works with wifi direct so yeah..

what about miracast?
And why is AOSP not compatible.
Lib files or something like that, i didn't read to much into it as i don't use this. Google it. Its what I do when I want to know something.

I use my Chromecast and AOSP roms together all the time; Youtube doesn't care what ROM you use. «Cast Screen» inside the settings app under «display» is only realistically working on N5's.

Hi,
I've read some old topics whereas it seems Paranoid Android doesn't support MHL.
Just wanted to make sure if the latest version (PA 4.6 beta 5) I have installed on my S3 i9300 does support it or not.
And if not, will MHL work if I go back to stock? (I've connected the mobile to the TV with an MHL adapter, but there was no signal).
Thanks!

For all of you who don't know, CUSTOM ROM'S CAN'T SUPPORT MHL AND WILL NEVER DO.
P.S. : sorry for caps but it has to be done. The reason for this restriction is Sam$ung for not making the MHL chip drivers open source. They have never done that and will never do it because they are Sam$ung.

Thanks for your reply.
I've made some further research and it seems that custom roms based on touchwiz do support MHL. Only AOSP ones do not.

Yes, ROM's like Blekota's or the ones like QS-i9300-KK do support MHL.
