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.

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'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?

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.

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.

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.

Surely , I can suggest you a MHL HDMI website: www.hdgenius.com ,I believe that it can give you correct answer that you want to get !
I consider buying Netgear PTV3000, WiDi- and Miracast-enabled video stream box for TV. I know that stock S3 ROM supports it through AllShare. Hovewer, as I'm addicted to Cyanogenmod and flashing, I can't bear thought, that I'll have to reflash rooted stock or dual-boot stock and CM. Is there any tweak, that enables Miracast in Settings->Display? I've used something similar, when NFC in CM10.1 didn't work - it was recovery flashable zip. If it's lack of Samsung documentation and sources, maybe there is an app, working on Cyanogenmod 10.1, which mirrors phone screen in way supported by PTV3000?
I whould also like to know if miracast is possible on cyanogenmod?
Figuring it out soon
That makes 3 of us that are wanting to know. But I now have CM10.1 on my note 2 and I just ordered a PVT3000 so I guess I will figure this all out in the next week or so.

Make that 3 1/2
I cannot believe there is not more interrest in this....
on my Xperia Z, I can detect the Netgear PTV3000 and even try to connect to it but it will fair after a while (HDCP error).
at least there is hope that it can be fixed in future?
You can try under Settings => Display => Wireless Display
hope this helps!
this is one of the reasons I don't use cyanogen, that and the fact that it hasn't really changed the way it looks for several generations now, it really, really needs a visual refresh.
Has there been any recent update on screen mirroring?

Hi there
I am looking for a rom with the Tablet UI (Like the old stock rom) with support for MHL. I am currently running a stable PAC release but the lack of MHL support is getting annoying. I was perfectly happy with the stock rom but after an upgrade the tablet ui was replaced with the phablet/phone ui which I thought was a step in the wrong direction so i flashed PAC roms until I found my daily driver.
Is there a custom rom that supports both the Tablet UI either through PA or an Xposed module (I have not found one that works so far) and MHL? Or do I have to go back to an old stock rom?
Tablet: SGP311 UK 16GB WIFI
Current ROM: pac_pollux_windy-4.3-20140122
Thanks in advance
phab7
use phab7 with xposed installer.
afaik no custom rom supports mhl, only an old version of cm (don't remember if 9 or 10) wich is not built for pollux_windy
i've gone back to stock for that reason

Have you tested this with a stock rom? I tried phab7 on my PAC rom but it didnt work, I assumed it was because of PA elements in PAC.

Ahh thats a real shame. What stock are you running and have you treid to get the Tablet UI? The new stock UI just makes the buttons really hard to use with two hands and its asif you have a 10 inch phone in your hands!

i'm now using latest with kk but didn't try mhl or tablet ui.
mhl is supposed to be supported, regarding tablet ui sony did many modifications to the system ui so the best chance is to try. if you do make a nandroid backup first.
No idea about MHL but none of the kitkat ROMs have the option for classic tablet UI sadly. I don't know why nobody did it considering you can adjust the UI Nav buttons.
The best solution for me is omni ROM so far. You can put the back button to a corner there at least.

I don't think this is a valid reason considering i allready had tablet UI back on KK. With AOKP and pacman you can add as many nav bar items as you want. I added so many that i simply gave the most right three ones the typical three buttons. Voila i had my tablet UI.
The problem: Since a few updates they render a pacman or AOKP icon on every button you add but don't assigne anything to it wich looks stupid.
Technically there is nothing hindering to get a tablet UI back.

Already back on KK? That's the latest... And, that isn't actually Tablet UI. You just put lots of icons and that moved the main ones to the left. Tablet UI consists of having the whole SystemUI at the bottom, not just the buttons on the left...
You could recreate the whole code, but that would be a bit hard to do...

I see what you mean - i would be happy with the buttons where one can reach it. The other changes of the UI don't bother me as much.
I can confirm MHL works perfectly fine on SGP312 (wi-fi only) on Android v 4.4.2 stock, and even with Phab7 it wont change to tablet mode for reasons mentioned above. Cant make it show something thats not there.
And a word of advise to people that see those cheap @SS MHL adapters on e-bay... spend the money on a good one or an official one from sony if its still avail... cause I bought a cheap one from china, and now it flickers because the power cord connection is starting to get loose, so now I need to bend the cord back at the connector or the picture will disconnect. Thank god for DUCT TAPE.
Stock CM latest nightly has no mhl support?

Have you tried using PIE? I enabled PIE on the left side of my screen using Xposed and Gravitybox and that helps me avoid using those awfully placed (IMO) buttons.

So can you get pie on the latest stock Sony rom? I had LMT working on the old stock rom and got on really well with it. IMHO pie doesn't have as good a functionality as LMT did.
I don't have PC access at the moment so is there a way to flash a stock rom from my current PAC custom rom?
Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure you can get pie with xposed+gravitybox but I haven't tried latest stock since everyone complains about it being laggy.
I haven't seen any flashable stock rom so I guess you'll need a computer.
Also I don't even know what's LMT so I can't tell if it's better or worse.

Thanks for the info, shame about needing a PC but with abit of luck omni could be a winner. LMT was like pie but you could add layers of app shortcuts around the edge which gives you fast access to your favourites.

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.

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