Thanks for the update and thoughts Jesse, I think these are all good approaches, it is just a shame they don't work that easy. I'm pretty sure the HDMI stuff has some HDCP handshaking even on this phone, so likely getting in the middle can muck that up, I don't know for sure (I'm just an SSL MITM guru)... :D

Another thought could be to have an app inside another app, or redirect an app's video to another pipe/socket which is setup to use this VideoView object.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
The problem with all this is that with the current setup HTC/Sprint has, the VideoView has to be in the foreground layout for it to be output. That brings up the issue that for it to be in the foreground, no other app can be. So I think the only way to do it since copying buffers directly fails is by remapping things in the kernel.

:confused:

My brain hurts tonight. It's been a long day so I'm gunna catch some sleep. Git is being a pain in the ass at the moment and refuses to sync toast/maejrep's repo to my PC, so I don't know how I'm gunna get around that. Maybe in the morning I'll make git work, then I'll look at the code as much as I can tomorrow.
[EVO 4G General] IPvFletch:
Any updates from anyone on this?
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
I think I may have figured it out, but it's deceptively simple (just 3 lines of code). I can't get my kernel to compile though, it throws an error on a completely unrelated file.

If I get it to compile, it may work, or it may melt your face, eat your cat, and take over the White House, all while creating as much heat as a nuclear reactor. Could go either way still :p :cool:
[EVO 4G General] midri:
Haven't had a good face melting in a while, it's starting to peel... GL!
[EVO 4G General] skewbasteve:
Great work Jesse, praying it works!
[EVO 4G General] IPvFletch:
Cool, this will be a "magical" breakthrough, great work Jesse!!
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Haha I'll put in a call, see if I can get it enchanted by the same unicorns that touch all the Apple products to come touch my laptop :D
[EVO 4G General] skewbasteve:
Make this a paid app that runs in the background and you'd be rich!
[EVO 4G General] jaypeezee:
Well if you need a guinea pig, im your man. I'll be returning/replacing 2 EVO's here shortly (waiting on phone call back) I'd be willing to test'er out for you - LMK.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Just a quick update, I still couldn't get the Evo kernel to compile, but a stock Incredible kernel compiles fine. Im now in the process of incorporating the Evo changes into that kernel. So far it compiles but it won't boot. Im not home right now but when i get back to my PC i'll see what i can pull off.
[EVO 4G General] IPvFletch:
Nice, well it sounds like you're on the right track!
[EVO 4G General] josue85:
Can't wait to see if this works, I'm really interested in doing this as well!
[EVO 4G General] cynikaloptimist:
Thanks for trying

I just read your tweet about waiting for the source to drop. Good luck with it.

I can't wait to see if you can get it to work. I would love to have the same abilities as the incredible, and if they can't do it I know someone on here will.
[EVO 4G General] bubbajoeee:
Really interested in this thread, I finally got my HDMI cable, and on my computer monitor it seems to handle the output correctly, scaling 480p for youtube and 720p for a movie I put on my phone (pretty damn good quality). Battery life for 720p -> hdmi seems to be about 4-5 hours depending on how much other stuff you have running at the same time.

I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to output the UI to HDMI, and I'm more than willing to do any testing that is needed.

Please keep us updated!
[EVO 4G General] IPvFletch:
Anyone have any updates on where they stand??

Jesse: Are you OK man, don't let the code eat you alive!! Let us know if and where you need some help!
[EVO 4G General] hdad2:
Does the recently released kernel source offer any more hope for expanded HDMI capabilities? please say yes... :)
[EVO 4G General] justendeal:
Any updates?

Pretty please?
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
Did you say that you streamed a bunch of stuff from the player to your tv? I thought that this wasn't supposed to work?
[EVO 4G General] bubbajoeee:
Using meridian with the screen turned to lowest brightness, not the UI, just the movie output
[EVO 4G General] aznwannabe358:
$50 to whoever makes the evo capable of replicating(not screenshots) its screen onto a tv via hdmi video out.
[EVO 4G General] bubbajoeee:
I'll put another $50 on it
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
<2

10chars
[EVO 4G General] treckin:
I can put 20 dollars.

Total reward is currently $120 :-)
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
why do you guys want this that much? yea its an awesome feature to have around, but I just don't see a use for it, especially not for 50$. If you want to play games, then just buy a ps3. If you want to watch movies, then burn it to blu ray, or hook up your pc to your tv. If you are at home and have a hdmi cable around, the last thing I would do is hook up my phone to the tv when i have 2-3 laptops and bunch of dvd/blu rays lying around.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
This is more for a on-the-go feature. For example last night I was at my parents and I have a movie on my phone I wanted to stream because they don't have the movie - I couldn't.

Sent from my Evo beeesshh
[EVO 4G General] treckin:
This. And I would like to have a dedicated screen for my phone next to my main display in the command center.

If someone could figure out how to make a touchscreen 22" work over hdmi :-O
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
I thought you were allowed to stream videos over hdmi? isn't that what it's made for?
[EVO 4G General] voodoo55:
that is my interest as well. and it seems to be a bit of a longshot. i have a large touchscreen in the dash of my car. i would like nothing more than to be able to control my phone through that screen. running vnc to a laptop in the glovebox comes close, but the lag is just too much.
[EVO 4G General] joe85:
If you had the ability to add USB devices it would be a matter of creating a driver in order to use the touch screen. The HDMI implementation seems very specific. In the documentation it says that VideoView elements are output to HDMI when an HDMI cable is connected.
[EVO 4G General] NCHEVYHEVN:
I had seen a video on YouTube for the iPhone like this. The guy plugged the iPhone into a monitor and then used a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I would love something like this for the EVO.
[EVO 4G General] sesecr:
HDMI out

Im not a wizard with all this stuff but i recently downladed a verizon NFL app for my sprint evo. I was curious to use the HDMI cable and found i can stream live the REDZONE channel. Is it that maybe some of the verizon code opens the HDMi out stuff or is it just like streaming the youtube videos?
[EVO 4G General] bradleyw801:
Anything that plays through the native player will show up, and anything that the developer of the app wants will show up. For example, the TV.com app shows, but it's a little 2 inch box even on a 40 inch TV.

But, your post makes me think maybe we should start a new thread that lists apps that people know work with HDMI. I have seen bits and pieces, but I would love to have one where everyone lists what works and how well. Anyone know if this has been posted already before I start a new one? Just put the 7 digit number from the URL if you find the post and can't do links.
[EVO 4G General] sesecr:
Redzone

No this is the full t.v. i got wifi right next to it and it dosent skip or anything. Its no the best quality but i think its limited BW or setup from verizon like that. I also read they have an App for droid REAL HDMI that displays it but hopefully someone cracks it for evo or posts it i cant get it in the market place.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
Where did u download it?
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
cm6 should be able to do this soon. Right now mouse and keyboard work and they're working on the full HDMI out.

Sent on the go from my HTC EVO
[EVO 4G General] hexydes:
Bump since I started this thread, finally got an EVO, and really want this feature out NOW! :)

To the person who wondered why we would want this: My goal is convergence, I already converged my MP3 player and cell phone, and my GPS and cell phone, and my point-and-shoot camera with my cell phone, and my portable game system with my cell phone, the next thing I want is to converge my netbook/lite-laptop with my cell phone. Basically, any lite-lifting duties usually accomplished on a laptop (browsing the web, light office work, etc.) can already be handled on my phone, but I need them on a larger screen sometimes. Hence, HDMI-out, along with Bluetooth keyboard and mouse support.
[EVO 4G General] Hairongreenfire:
I agree with OP except I want to expand the game system part. I want HDMI to work so that I can play NES/SNES ROMS on a big TV instead of my EVO while I am at home. That was one of my favorite parts about CM, the ability to use bluetooth controllers to play mario on my phone. On a TV would be that much better.
[EVO 4G General] :
I posted in a related thread (link) the advantages of this when combined with other features. A true car dock w/ carpc type functionality would be a logical expansion of the feature set. For those that can't visualize the concept just look at the dock for an Archos5 IT.

I'm honestly at the point that I would freely give my schematics, notes and any (copy/patent)rights to the first dev that fully implements the features I listed in my post in the other thread. It might not be a money bounty but has the potential to be a cash cow.
[EVO 4G General] bonikowsky:
I would love to do testing on this if you need it. Sounds like a great thing to me...
[EVO 4G General] :
I suggest we merge with this thread $300 Bounty for app providing HDMI out on all apps & desktop mirror??
[EVO 4G General] m4f1050:
Youtube already plays via HDMI...

And you can pair bluetooth keyboard/mouse too...

What would be nice would be a Winamp MilkDrop2 visualization while playing music..! :)
[EVO 4G General] anderd:
Would love to know what rom you are using as ive yet to get ANYTHING to appear on my screen via HDMI out on my phone other than a black screen, it gets the signal, but no audio or video. If i load a 2.1 rom, works fine..
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
The next version of CM will offer full HDMI out. Just be patient.
[EVO 4G General] bigant262:
not true. It could be, they are still working on it. :)
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
From what i understand it is finished and just needs to be implemented into the ROM. Maybe someone provided bad info, but it was supposedly done before 4G was fixed.
[EVO 4G General] m4f1050:
Again, youtube already plays in HDMI, if you want to play something really bad just upload it to youtube and then view it... Also I believe the video player on Sense plays in HDMI...
[EVO 4G General] bnapy:
Swayze please tell me where you got this info. I remember reading a post from cyanogen that one of the devs on teamdouche had figured it out, but was out sick. Has there been progression made?

[EVO 4G General] nrage23:
I saw video on the web of the new Archos Gen8 tablets putting the full UI on the screen of a TV through hdmi. Could some of the code for this be pulled out of the software for these devices to help this along? Not a programer just wanted to add some info to the people that are.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Check the links in the post above yours.
[EVO 4G General] auradefect:
This is great news!
[EVO 4G General] abmone:
Guess its time to buy the cable now.
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
So, is there any other info on this besides a git repository? Who are these people? Are they on xda? Does it require a sense rom, or can it be used on CM? Are there any videos? Sorry, that link just leaves me with a lot of questions.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
They're a bunch of AOSP developers, and this will be going into CM long before HTC OK's it and integrates it into Sense.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Awesome news.. Also, for all of you guys who have not bought a cable yet, here's a link:

[EVO 4G General] jc8081:
Ok so I'm confused if full hdmi was complete how do we get it? Sorry im kind of new lol
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
+1 on the many questions, oddly they are pretty much the same as yours!
[EVO 4G General] Ep3n3wp:
When will we be able to use this? Amazing can't wait... Full hdmi and 4g...
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Cyanogen will be pulling it through gerrit soon, and then it'll be in the Gingerbread and/or Froyo repo's, at which point people can compile it themselves, or wait until the CM7 nightlies start rolling out.
[EVO 4G General] Ep3n3wp:
Sweet, can't wait!!!!
[EVO 4G General] Ep3n3wp:
Wish I could test/play with full hdmi out
[EVO 4G General] jpatterson350:

[EVO 4G General] jpatterson350:
I hope your right and he was wrong!! :) thanks for the good news.
[EVO 4G General] Ep3n3wp:
Aww... Please tell me thats not true!!!! That would suck!!!!!

Please confirm or deny....
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Just stay tuned, the commit went in yesterday for it, so once the nightly starts to come out it will be in there.
[EVO 4G General] jpatterson350:
Word on the street is the information in this thread is incorrect the code is not compatible with the EVO. So back to square 1 no HDMI....
[EVO 4G General] housry23:
App is in the market -- Real HDMI. Haven't tested it yet because my HDMI cable is in the mail, but I have the app and if anyone want's to test it let me know. Video is on the Droid X.

That app has been pulled due to problems with it for 2.2. Also its only for the droid x

Bingo?

That's like the anti-bingo lol.....
[EVO 4G General] ojstimpy:
Are they still developing it though?
[EVO 4G General] sd2649:
Nah, they are busy on gingerbread (cm7) for now. O doubt anyone is on top of it for a while now :(
[EVO 4G General] m4f1050:
Well, while you guys wait for that I will keep uploading to Youtube whatever it is I want to see on phone's HDMI... Why would I use it anyways? I can even watch videos I capture on phone through HDMI... What is it that you want on HDMI? A game or a specific app?
[EVO 4G General] ojstimpy:
Video game Emulators. Would be awesome playing them with 2 wii remotes.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
They are waiting on full mirroring HDMI, meaning whenever you plug up your phone to the TV, whatever screen your phone is showing, will show up on the TV. Right now you DO NOT have that. Basically it would be like using your phone on a big screen TV.

And to the other guys question, yes they are developing it and I believe it is completed, just waiting to be implemented into CM. The guy who was working on it had an accident but I believe he's ok and has it done.
[EVO 4G General] ojstimpy:
Awesome. Can't wait.
[EVO 4G General] surferdude51:
hello

hey all, first post here (yay). I just wanted to say that I've been following the progress of this feature for the evo for quite some time now. I'm quite hopeful that it will soon be made available.

My goal is to be able to stream my slingbox over 4g or 3g to my gf's or friends tv. I do it with my laptop, but i dont always want to carry that around and I'm also not looking to buy any more equipment at this point. It would just be so easy for me to have cables at all their places and just plug in my phone and stream.

For now though, I'm keeping my hopes up!

thanks !
[EVO 4G General] Cjunior:
i have been follwoing HDMI out for a will now, and so far all i hear is rummors about cayanogen is working on it... frist was said cm 6 would have it then 6.1 now 6.1.2 is out and nothing no 4g or hdmI... i don't worry about 4g but i know a lot of people do, i would just love hdmi, i just "wish" would be possible to get this options working, before they go crazy for GB.

i know is not eazy im not a developer, but if that is anything i can help with it count me in.
[EVO 4G General] jpatterson350:

[EVO 4G General] jc8081:
I honestly think no one is working on it.. how hard could it be with everything else these devs are able to do?
[EVO 4G General] Mfeigley:
Yeah, I don't think anyone is working on it. Anyways, I'll add another $50 for full HDMI mirroring (smoothly).

[EVO 4G General] Evo4sickness:
OK real Noob question about Full HDMI OUT I had an Evo now for 2 months and it is without a doubt the most amazing smart phone on the face of the earth. I have been looking all over for solution for the Full HDMI out just like the Incredible want the same capability so I can connect it to my Indash in Cobra. So I see that I would have first Root my phone and download the Cynogen Rom which I have no Idea how to and dont want to yet.

So I want to know if there is any other way to have Full HDMI with 2.2. Or If anybody knows 2.3 or Honeycomb will have the fix. Thanks and again sorry about the noob az question.
[EVO 4G General] Mfeigley:
Cyanogenmod doesn't have it, no rom does. If it is ever figured out, it will probably require root.

[EVO 4G General] WillJitsu:
Is it possible to remove any of the default icons from the status bar? I have so many up there that I barely have any room for notifications. The location icon is pointless. It's there whether you have location turned on or off. I realize this may require rooting, but is it possible?
[EVO 4G General] camdz:
It will be possible at some point Im sure. Developers were just starting to get rid of them on the Hero (2.1 Android) before I upgraded to the Evo. I was happy to finally get rid of the battery icon since I use a percentage widget in the notification bar anyway. Many were also getting rid of the clock if they had one on their homepage.
[EVO 4G General] Kshawn:
Agreed. I have the clock removed on my moment, thanks to the devs at sdx im sure someone will do the same over here as well.
[EVO 4G General] rljetsetradio:
Seriously the Target icon is annoying! And I thought I was a waste of space.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I hate having the GPS and BT icons show up, I already know gps is always on and the blue light tells me if BT is on.
[EVO 4G General] WillJitsu:
Will it require loading a custom rom that already has these icons removed or will there be a way to manually remove them from any custom rom after it has been loaded onto the phone?
[EVO 4G General] bigwill3:
also interested in this, that location icon/cross hair/reticule is insufferable
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
What blue light????
[EVO 4G General] r546:
Also interested in this. Don't need location, vibrate/silent, or clock.
[EVO 4G General] senormatt:
in for this too, preferrably an app in the market
[EVO 4G General] bigwill3:
any custom roms provide this?

Damn I wish I could access recovery from work I so want to load this...you got rid of all the apps I don't need..

Well done I will load this soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyrnight:
only problems I found so far is.. NO widgets loaded up on first boot.. and when I load the HTC home clock it doesn't get weather.. I tried even loading it manually but no go. next is GPS seems to be on by default, i had to manually disable it..and location services are disabled for "Use Network" Kinda back-words from what stock does

and some apps aren't showing up in the market.. i.e fandango..
[EVO 4G Android Development] swaze:
Im assuming you wiped everything prior to flashing correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
The widgets not loading by default was intentional. I always end up deleting everything on the homescreens anyway so I made a clean slate for whatever ya'll want.

The GPS thing is kind of wierd. I'll see about changing that. The clock is also on 24 hour time by default. Forgot to mention that issue.

EDIT: Also for the market, try wiping your dalvik cache. That should fix it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elstupidos:
Looks like everything I wanted to do eventually.

Thanks for this! Downloading now
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cayniarb:
Is this ROM based off of the stock (1.32.651.1) ROM or the OTA updated (1.32.651.6) ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Stock. I have to look to see what the differences are between the roms. Once I do I will merge them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] swaze:
I think the .6 added in the OTA update from sprint.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oOflyeyesOo:
It is, but we dont exactly know what .6 did for the people who updated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toenail78:
ohh geez i know what you mean.. i wish there was some sort of program that could boot us straight into recovery so that i dont need my laptop to do it.. i can download the roms from work but dont have a way to install them..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
any change of getting Friend ship stream put back in or a flashable update i use it instead of the facebook app
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrDSL:
Re: [ROM] SupererSonic

Why not use the touch Facebook? It's much better than any app...also there is bloo I know there is a 1.5 version floating around that even has working chat.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
i prefer FS touch is nice so is bloo but i like the Friendship stream
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBiles:
Can you post any benchmarks or something so we can see if there is a speed difference between this and the latest OTA?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Good call. If someone does a benchmark of the OTA I will do a bench of this. If not I will try to flash the OTA and then flash back to this. Best benchmark app anyone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrDSL:
chuckhriczko- on the rom im using now they made it to where some apps could be uninstalled if the user wanted..

Anyway you can do that with some of the apps on this one like Visual Voicemail for example?
[EVO 4G Android Development] djR3Z:
Before I download this, can someone test if they can go to Accounts & Sync without it force closing and make sure 4G works?
