I want to record music on my S2, and I found this app called N-tracks Pro and I was wondering on a few things:
1.) Will the S2 be able to handle extensive recording and does it have the ability to use the microUSB port as an external input source?
2.) I saw an intro for the APP mentioned above and I was wondering is there a compatible Low Latency Audio Interface (L.L.A.I.) for the S2, running in CM11 KK 4.4.4
a.) What brand should I take a look on regarding the L.L.A.I. box
3.) Before I buy an L.L.A.I. box is the S2 powerful enough to power the thing up just like shown in this video(intro for Ntracks Pro): youtube.com/watch?v=yZjda94hZWA
Additional Info:
I've done some snooping around and I have found this thing called the Encore 7.1 channel usb audio box if somebody here owns one or anything similar to what it can offer, I would like to ask can it be used for android devices, Using the microUSB OTG cable?
New info:
Says in the Website of Ntrack Studio that the S2 HAS NO ANDROID USB Support. But I am running in CM11 Kitkat 4.4.4 Do I still have a chance? can't afford a new phone...

Hi all,
I just recently found out that S2 can not stream anything via MHL to the external monitor when camera app is running (in focus).
It will just display: "HDMI not available when application is running" which really sucks. I expected a lot of flexibility from Android, since this feature has been in Apple phone product for quite some time.
Anyone know why exactly this happened? I tried to look around mhl consortium and can't find relevant technical information.
I'm guessing the problem lies on the android OS itself and not the hardware. But still, it would be nice if someone can share a workaround or latest news or whatever discussion on this.
Thanks,
vinis.
Post your ROM details (Settings > About phone)
Hi, i am using Neat Rom lite as in here latest build 7thOct
I know that only samsung based ROM have MHL / tv-out capability, mainly due to proprietary driver.
Please refer to the original thread for ZOPO ZP900 / Hero H9500 which are basically one and the same phone models with different brand tags.

So been using this nice phone for quite some time I still have some queries unanswered or unexplored maybe .
1. Does this phone support hardware video decoding , have tried running MX Player and apparently it does not work, even though i thought that the GPU in this phone is quite decent. Maybe this opiton need to be enabled at the kernel level. Another user in the forum also had the same question without any success in using any of the media players. This also limits the possibility of running the recently released XBMC Beta 1 as a complete media center application on this phone, given that it already has a sizable 5.3 inch screen enough for a single person viewing.
2. Does this phone support USB OTG, i tried it today with a standard USB OTG cable and tried connecting the USB Flash disk and a USB 3G Modem apparently both of them are not detected. I have also tried them connected via a powered USB hub in case the phone's micro usb connector cannot supply enough power. So far nothing comes up. I have installed the PPP Widget from the Google Play Market, but as I read it needs a couple of libraries and drivers built into the custom ROM (ppp serial driver and libraries) and the USB OTG option also needs to be enabled at the kernel level.
3. There is not much following of this phone on a mass level, so that we could expect any feature packed kernel like Siyah/Dorimanx and ROM from the branches of AOKP/AOSP/Cyanogen.
Given the current situation can I request on behalf of all the users of this phone (and its branded brother ZOPO ZP900) to the developer's community to please look into the possibility of modding the kernel to at least enable the video hardware decoding and USB OTG functionality. It would be a complete blast, given the ROM has already been rooted.
Please ask and guide me if I can be of any help to post the dumped kernel image or anything else.
Thanks.

Suggest you try here: http://www.movilesdualsim.com/foro/...7-4-ICS-4-0-4-ZP900-y-clonicos-de-1GB-y-512MB
The forum is in Spanish, but I have flashed the ROM and it is very good. Google translate makes most of the stuff on the forum understandable. If you post in English the forum doesn't mind too much. As long as you have managed to flash CWM onto your Zopo/Hero you will have no problems with this ROM.
Remember that many video and audio file types - especially wma and wmv are NOT supported by Android unless the ROM is cooked with these features in the recipe. For playing wma, I am using Poweramp that has wma support built in.
The ROM is based on ICS, so it supports flash video, if nothing else. AVI also works. Not sure if there is a video player to play wmv.
Hope this helps.
Enjoy the phone - I think for the money it can't be beaten.
Hi! I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this. I am trying to develop a software solution that requires the Android phone to be able to output video and be a USB host at the same time. But, after looking into a couple Android devices (Nexus 5 & Samsung S4), I found that I cannot do video and USB hosting on a Android phone at the same time. I wonder if this is a common design in Android phone world? Is this based on Google's reference design for Android? Thank you!
Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a workaround or an app to trick Android that you are on an internal display rather than connected to HDMI Port, similar with the "fake WI-FI" apps.
As a reason, I own a 5.1.1 Android Player, connected to a TV via HDMI, and when I try to use a paid movie streaming app, it is requesting to disconnect the external display. Similarly when I connect my Note 3 to a TV with MHL cable, same app is requesting to disconnect the external display. So it is working ONLY on internal displays, whether phone, tablet or SMART TV, which is a rude limitation for the payer, probably for copyright worries of the owner.
I would be very grateful if someone could point me a solution. The Android player manufacturer is stating that since Android 5.0 there is a signal regarding HDMI connection in Android system which triggers the app to block its usage, and I can confirm that on Android 4.4.4 there were no problems running the app on an external display (tested on another player running on 4.4.4).
Many thanks, in anticipate!
Enjoy!
I have a Samsung S2 phone which is now permanently mounted on the microscope to take pictures of specimens. As the phone is quite old, I have used cynogenmod (11.0) with android 4.4.4 on it replacing the touchwiz software.
I have tried Google Chromecast first-generation - doesn't work. The phone seems to be trying to connect as the chromecast is going to switch on, but in the middle of connection, the casting stops. It works with other phones, just not the S2. I have bought and tried a micro USB to Hdmi port. Does not work. Any ideas how to cast it to a monitor? Maybe I need to install another rom?

Thanks for the article. Never knew those existed.
You can try to use MHL , but It doesn't work on AOSP and CyanogenMod. You need stock ROM or Stock based ROM to make it work
Thanks. I finally got it to work with the Techjunkie article. However, only one method worked which is the Airdroid. The rest:
1. Vysor
2. Mirror
3. Chromecast and Google Cast
does not work. I think it may be due to the old cynogen onboard.
