MHL Cable - Help - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
can anyone help in operation the MHL cable? since moving to ICS and then JB Roms the MHL cable no longer works for me
(the phone even do not recognize anything when the cable is connected). currently i am using Wanam v13 ROM/
is this a kernel or a ROM (or both) problem? is it a known problem with newer android versions? si there a way to make it work again?
Thanks

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.

Ok, thanks , sorry for asking a lot but i could not get a straight answer till now (did not find what you have about it not working on Wanam)
But, isn't there some kind of patch or something to make it work even on custom ROM? can anyone help with it?
Thanks

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.

[Q] Stable MIUI Room ?

Guys
Can someone point me out to a stable and fully functional MIUI rom for galaxy s2 ? . I could not find any info regarding the rom on MIUIs website as well
I use Galnet Miui (galnetmiui.co.uk) 2.11.26 and have had minimal problems.
Now...
Just because it works well for me does not mean you will have the same experience with this rom. Your phone will have been built ever so slightly differently to mine so far as the "quality" of the components go, you will have different apps installed on your phone and you will have different usage patterns to me.
So what I'm saying is by all means try it out, but also try out other roms & see how they work for you.
I find it impossible to believe you went to Miui.com, clicked on the english site & couldn't find the downloads. That tells me you didn't try hard enough, so I suggest you go back there and have a proper look. Also, you can have a look at Miui US, their rom is a different take on Miui again.
If you're not the sort of person who's prepared to do a bit of searching and experimenting with your phone, and you want a rom that's always stable , I suggest you leave your phone on stock firmware & just enjoy a fantastic phone (the phone is brilliant just running stock).
Thanks mate for the detailed reply . I did find the download section ! , however i did not find any help on its forums regarding the quality of the ROM ( what is working and whats not ) . And i still cannot find it
And i can search and experiment . Running CheckRom V4 for a while now and its pretty nice !
"Quality" is a subjective thing. It gets back to what I was saying about different people having different experiences with different roms.
So far as what works & what doesn't, there should be a changelog with every version of the rom, I know there is for Galnet's roms and I'd be very surprised if there's not for Miui's roms (which means I'm not going to do the searching for you).
I installed the miui.us rom . Apparently everything is working . Just the video in 720 or 1080 is not working !
is that working in the Galnet`s rom ? you can atleast tell me that

Miui.us? May i know which version you installed?
Rom : MIUI ICS XGT 'EXTENDED'
Kernel : Xcell-69X
Modem : XXKP8
Sent from Galaxy SII
It was 1.12.30
But i am back to CheckRom . Was having a few problems with the Rom
* SMS app was giving constant FC ( even after trying the fix )
* Camera app was closing randomly without any errors etc
* Phone was running too Hot
* Quadrant score went down from 3600 to 2800 ( not bothered that much with that )
Just for you (because I've come to like you somewhat during the time this thread has been in existence), I tested 1080HD video just now and it works quite fine.

Do you mean that all roms here are not always stable?
Yep that's exactly what I mean. It's pretty rare to run a custom rom and not have any issues (mostly minor issues tho, mind you) at all. So many different apps, some of which work perfectly with some roms/kernels yet are nothing but trouble with others.
Stock has had the absolute living crap tested out of it by Samsung and if you want (almost) absolute stability with almost no problems whatsoever, then stock is what you want to run on your phone. On the other hand, if you're spending time on a site like this chances are stock just isn't your thing and you're more than prepared to put up with little issues that come up occasionally running a custom rom/kernel.
I know I am. I can't see any reason why I'd ever go back to stock, I can't think of a "gamechanger" or feature Samsung could put in a stock rom that couldn't be made to work in a custom rom by the *really* talented devs who post here that would make me go back to stock.

MHL is not working. Plz advised

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] 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

[Q] Which ROM is most active and support HDMI tv output?

I updated to ics since the very first leaked offical version and have no time till now. I find the version lagging and also the scrolling bug so now i have some time I wanted to reinstall a new ROM.
Which ICS ROM supported TV output? Seen most of the ROM description and none stated whether it works for tv output or not My internet is slow and just waiting for it to download can take 2hrs for one ROM.
I dont really understand what it mean by original android development and android development but I assume one is from a clean ASOP while another one is from stock rom. So i download one from each but turned out both tv output doesnt work. When I plug it into the tv the screen appear but the screen on the tv "hangs" there even when I am doing on my phone.
This is the two I tried:
[Rom][AOKP-B40](AROMA+OTA)[01/07]Resurrection Remix ics v2.5.2[4.0.4]
[ROM][4.0.4] PARANOIDANDROID v1.5a [CM9HYBRID][25/06/2012]
Still downloading
[ROM][LPF]FOXHOUND Revolver Ocelot|ICS|OTA|Performance|AROMA|31 May and it's still 1hr plus more to completed.
Can anyone kindly tell me whether this rom supported TV output?
Been searching for rom and the comments of each rom for around 3hrs plus le.
Hope some one can reply asap, thanks for your reply

I'm struggling to find the "I'm with stoopid" smiley, can you help?
CM9 does not currently support TV-out on the I9100, the one thing the OP specifically asked for. At worst you'll get a static image/no output, at best you'll get something when playing back videos only.
Now i know. Sorry.
Only stock Samsung has working tv output but all stock roms should work. If the rom is CyanogenMod or AOKP or AOSP or MIUI it will not work.

I had the exact same experience with my wife's phone that I bought of ebay. I even flashed a variety of RIL's (radio interface layers) and different modems. I'd never had the problem with my SGS3 before, and have hundred of different roms on it.
Anyway it seemed to be a kernel issue and after trying ever combination possible I found that wifi would always work perfectly on any stock based rom or any CM based rom (assuming that hey used the CM kernel). It wouldn't even work on a CM rom if I flashed a different kernel such as Yank's, Boeffla or Googy.
Also at the time I trawled the net looking for answers and found one or two others that had the same issue, but could still use stock Sammy or CM. Strange... almost felt like it was an odd batch.
