Roms with full HDMI support - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
the latest status I could find was that only Samsung based Roms are able to provide full HDMI support.
Do you know of any activities on HDMI integration to CM10++?
Regards,
Chris

Won't work with CM10
If you want to use HDMI it has to be Samsung based rom because Samsung did NOT release the proprietary drivers in order for developers to make it work with other roms.

Looking for a custom ROM / drivers

Guys,
I have a CM802 Android 2.2 tablet that I would like to support external USB devices. My problem right now is that the default ROM doesn't seem to have USB host drivers, and I have no idea where to look. Can you guys point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
I don't know your hardware, but your android version should have no support for both usb host mode and USB otg. If you upgrade and hardware is ready, maybe. But very likely you'll need the kernel USB modules sources and a dev to compile them especially for that build. That's why on my se xperia x10 such feature is still missing ...
The hardware has support for it, and I don't care what version of Android I end up with, as long as there's support. I also don't mind installing them myself, but would like some direction as to where to find the modules.
have you tried going to the manufactures website?

You will need to compile a proper kernel with support for it. There have been a few on the site that have done it for a few devices but it is not an overly popular mod
Well, I have just seen a site where they sell the android 2.3 version of the same device which seems to have the USB otg support. In any case, the first step must be one upgrading at least to android 2.3...

the kernel would have been made to support it on that device. After building 2.3 from android source code I can say that it is not there by default.
Thanks, I agree that is not supported by default but maybe they had actually patched a kernel with those modules, though such kind of sites are not very reliable...

Can you guys link me to the modules or whatever? Again, I'm perfectly willing to build the kernel from source myself, as long as I can have a little direction.
Any help? Links, information, tutorials.. whatever you can give me would be awesome, Internet <3.
Oh, and sorry for the double post.

Help needed to cook ANT+ support for AOSP/GE/Custom Roms

Background:
Ant+ and Health/Sport accessories are not very widespread among smartphone users, but it was one of the major reasons a which I moved from the Nexus 4 to Galaxy S4.
While S4 on 4.3 works great with my Garmin Heart Rate Monitor(HRM), I'm not satisfied with Touchwiz and Knox.
My S4 feels laggy, slow and I want to use stock android, or even any of those KitKat releases.
Many Xperia devices have Ant+ support, and it seems that they manage to cook it into custom roms successfuly.
Target:
Assemble a flashable zip which would allow anyone with an S4 already flashed to 4.3 to use the Ant+ receiver.
Research:
I've spent some time embeddint the Ant+ files (com.dsi.ant.antradio_library.jar and .xml, and the AntHalService.apl) on MakTail's 4.3 GE but ran into an issue that blocked further investigation:
The AntHalService tries to enable bluetooth, can't find the method and reboots the device.
The version is 3.0.0 which is supplied on Stock ROM, and there is already a 3.1.1 available from Ant Alliance which removes the requirement for enabling bluetooth.
I got the source code and compiled the apk, but I can't run it as a System App, so I got stuck. Spent some time trying to workaround it, but no success.
I guess that even when I get hold of a working 3.1.1, there will be new issues, and I'm a complete newbie on ROM cooking.
So I would like help from others, maybe suggesting next steps or getting hands on with me on this project.

won't work due to the signature I guess. Even when I signed with debug keys didn't work. Maybe due to SELinux?
Code:
I/PackageManager( 707): /system/app/AntHalService.apk changed; collecting certs
W/PackageManager( 707): Signature mismatch for shared user : SharedUserSetting{42a56d98 android.uid.system/1000}
W/PackageManager( 707): SELinuxMMAC.assignSeinfoValue
E/PackageManager( 707): Package com.dsi.ant.server has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!
I am going to flash 4.4 GE edition by Jamal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474 and will try to survive with my Suunto USB Ant+ stick on OTG to allow me to spend more time trying to make this work.
Will update with any progress/issues.
Well, I send a cry for help to @broodplank1337 and got his awesome reply showing availability and this was my reply, which I decided to share as while I waited for help I made some pretty good advance!
While I was waiting for your reply I made some progress....
I replaced the classes.dex from my compiled apk(from java source) into the samsung apk and that was enough to bypass the cert check ( I was pretty sure I tried that before, but must've done something wrong).
I found out the source code is referencing a kernel module that doesn't exist for Galaxy S4, so I ran Dex2Jar and Java Decompiler and I'm now analysing the source code and I think that it somehow passes the instructions directly to the chip.
I'm thinking about trying to change the bluetooth methods it uses to the ones available on AOSP, which is why the 3.0.0 was failing initially.
It'll probably still take some work, but it might be feasible.
The main issue is that I'm new to android coding, and not a java expert, but used to be a programmer and I'm finding my way (and some joy) hacking thru all this code.

I'm attaching the source code for AntHalService.apk from Samsung stock roms (version 3.0.0).
I guess I'll have to work over it, as the 3.1.1 I got from AntWireless references an antradioservice.so which Sammy don't have and causes a bootloop.
I am now comparing the smali code between the 3.0.0 and the 3.1.1 to see if I can do an easy patch, but it's not looking very likely...
Lets see how this goes.
Awesome work guys! I'm really looking forward to be able to finally use my AOSP ROM (Paranoid Android at the moment) with Ant+ support! Just broke the Selfloops OTG dongle... I know many people are looking for a solution in the various fitness and sports communities...
Thanks in advance for your work!
Please please get this to work! I'm rooting for you on my side over here! It would make me one very happy s4 user.
Wouldnt it be nice if cyanogenmod one day supported ant+?
We can only dream.
Any luck? Or is there anything people who cannot code can do to help? This is the one thing I want on my android phone currently.
Guys, an update. I kinda gave up for a while. ANT Forums are helpless, and I got kinda tired of looking around. I'll need to have some free time and motivation to dissect the code and try to make it work on the AOSP bluetooth stack.
A good workaround I found is to have a dual boot solution, so you can switch to the Touchwiz ROM for a training.

Thanks, hope to eventually come with good news, got kinda sad to hit a wall. But meanwhile, use your favourite rom and dual boot a Touchwiz ROM.
I'm now back to the last released version of 4.3 for Brasil to soon extract the libs and apk's to build a slim TW ROM just for dualbooting.
It'll be an easier workaround. For those with 32GB S4's don't even need to go down this path, just dual boot and be happy!
Thanks for working on this, got the S4 the other day coming from a Bionic that was had ANT+ chipset, but they never turned it on. I too would love a CM 11 with ANT+ support. I will happen, eventually.
ant+ apps on the app store
Hi I'm running 4.4.2 Echoerom on my S4 and just discovered that I'm lacking ANT support despite installing the ant service and apps from the store. Did you try these apps, were you able to make any progress?
Any updates on this ?
I'd like to use ANT+ on my s4 running AOSB.
Any updates for ant+ support in CM11?
The solution of dual boot seems very messy for only that
any news with that?
I'm super late with this, but if anyone is still looking at building ANT+ in to custom ROMs, I have had success building from the ANT Wireless source: check the ANT hardware thread

any custom roms which support tv-out/mhl?

im looking for a custom rom which supports tv out/mhl. i know chameleon os supported it but the i9100 is no longer actively supported with this rom. are there any others out there?

I think it should work with any rom that uses samsung base, that give you quite a lot of options. AFAIK it's just the aosp and aokp roms that don't support tv out.

[Q] WiFi dongle on Android 5

Hey everyone,
So I'm running Android 5.0.2 on my GT-I9300 and I'm really anxious to get my WiFi dongle working. The reason behind it is that Reaver & similar tools don't work with the device's native WiFi.. adapter? Chip? That.
So I have a TP-Link TL-WN321G dongle that does what I need it to do, but my device doesn't acknowledge the dongle once connected via USB OTG cable. I understand I'm supposed to provide Android with a driver, but I'm unsure how would I go on about doing that. The best I got from around XDA was 'compile a driver to a module and load it into the kernel' but I haven't the slightest idea how to do something like this. Any newbie-friendly guide would be highly appreciated.
Also, if anyone knows of any monitor-mode WiFi dongles naively compatible with Android 5, please let me know.

Thank you!

Have you tried flashing a custom kernel ?

Hey Joseph,
I haven't, but I'm not sure how would that specific ROM work with other kernels. Also, I imagine it's better to know how to add driver to kernel so I can do it on pretty much any device running anything? But sure, if you have an idea which kernel to try, I'll go for it =)
Thanks!

You can for example try Boeffla Kernel CM12 NG.
To look for compatible kernels, you can:
• Search for a kernel index like this one
• Make a search for the word kernel in your ROM discussion and Q&A threads and see what kernels people are using.
• Look for kernel threads in the Development and Original Development threads
Hope it helps you in your search.

Thank you, I tried Boeffla Kernel and it didn't recognize the device still, but I'm searching for a kernel with the driver necessary. Still would be nice to know how to do it by myself, but I'm on it ^^
Hey i noticed your post is old but did you find a way to do that any supporting roms or solution i'm having the same problem

[question] Which ROM supports ANT+ ?

Hi. I am happy that my old Smultron is not dead yet.
Due to its small size, I would like to reactivate it as a bicycle computer / fitness tracker. The apps that I usually use require Lollipop as a minimum.
I seem to remember that I half-heartedly tried the same already about a year ago, but did not succeed with installing the ANT+ services from the Playstore.
Currently, I am at CM13.
Now I found that in the AOKP FAQ, it is stated:
Q: Why is ANT+ not working?
A: ANT+ developers do not support our wifi chip (wl1271) beyond JB 4.1. ANT+ will never work except if we write the needed source code changes from scratch.​
That leads me to the qestion: Is this true for all ROMs, or just AOKP? Or more in general: Which ROMs supports ANT+?
Umm... noone knows this?
