That's because you don't own a gorgeous television ;o Or maybe you do.

Even then to each his own. I want to play emulators/games on my tv from the phone. With a Wiimote. What's so terrible about that :P
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] weber09:
I can confirm that the HTC TV out cable does not work with the G2. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kholk:
Damn... Can someone try to get analog TV-Out from the 3.5mm jack?

Some Nokia phones and some digital cameras are currently using it for TVOut.. I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't work, but if we get device's schematics we can see if it's wired.

If it's wired we can always make a kernel module or build a custom kernel that supports it!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rmcsc:
They probably mean the HTC Hero or myTouch 3G. They were incorrectly called G2 sometimes.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dsil711:
I can second that the cable from day deal does not fit the g2. I was looking forward to hook up my phone up to my cars radio. but the cable is def not a micro usb like they say it is. Theirs gotta be a way to use the micro usb as a tv out port. It would be great for emulators, you tube and also netflix and hulu if they ever come out for android.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kholk:
MicroUSB can't carry out TVOut signal!

Anyway, as the HTC Vision kernel sources are available (leaked) I can examinate the video driver to see if there's at least an option for TVOut through 3.5mm jack.. but we should open up a G2/DesireZ for seeing if it's wired, 'cause if the TVOut through 3.5mm procedure is written in the drivers but it's not wired in the phone it's still useless.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
Ill try to remember to check this out when I get home.

The only way i seem myself using the tv out is when im playing snes/nes/gb/gba at home, and I do that often... @@

My wife and I even team up and play two player games sometimes haha. Wii controller app rocks.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ScottC:
Tried it with the same video cable I use for my Vibrant - but no signal from the G2. It is either not wired, or not driven by software (yet).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ScottC:
Not 100% true - the Droid Incredible has a modified MicroUSB which DOES come with Video out. So, while it isn't 100% the same as a normal MicroUSB, it does take MicroUSB plugs AND a special HTC MicroUSB video cable.

The plug is the same concept as EXTMiniUSB which HTC used to use on their older devices to allow headsets and TV out to come off MiniUSB.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] M1A1D:
And I know I'm chiming in late, but a quick pin count and comparison to the Micro USB standard shows that the G2 is completely stock. No extra pins like the Mini ExtUSB port, unfortunately.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Physical_appearance
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] keenerb:
that doesn't necessarily mean it's not possible.

It may be possible via some sort of cable signaling process sort of like the USB host mode on the Motorola Droid.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
By the way I did try it with my canon camera 3.5 mm cord, I got full audio but video was just black and white and all messed up. Video wasnt even close to being useful, looked worse then scrambled porn
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] keenerb:
Did you see ANYTHING remotely resembling video?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] arzkkr:
Could you tell if it was the actual phone screen/output (albeit scrambled)? This would indicate the functionality is there, just maybe the pinouts are wrong and/or the input it was plugged into was not correct.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
no, just black and white moving stripes. if you were to look at a zebra in a blender LOL thats sorta what it looked like.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] student.driver:
I used my 3.5mm A/V cable from my old iPod, and only the audio worked. Just thought I'd throw that out there. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kholk:
@student.driver

Good try. So now we're sure that there's NO TVOut in HTCVision. At least without modifications.

If it's wired, but I extremely doubt of it, it'll be possible to enable it via software. Anyway, we won't know if it's wired or not prior having full root and R/W access on eMMC.

Moreover, I've found an interesting thing. Look at this: http://briefmobile.com/galaxy-s-does-microusb-to-hdmi

EDIT: If anyone wants to give it a try (but it's extremely possible that without software support it won't work, anyway software is easy to port from Galaxy S to other Android devices I think)... http://www.myreplicaphone.com/samsung-ecc1hu0bbebstd-tv-out-cable-micro-usb-to-hdmi.html

EDIT2: Oops, out of stock :(

HTC's Media Link

**EDIT** Sorry - I guess I should have read the first post a little more carefully. "Is there any way to get TV out on the G2 (to play games, NOT DLNA)" The information below does not apply, but I am leaving it up because it might be useful to someone else who doesn't understand RIF and is looking to play movies and such from his/her phone...

Looks like they are releasing a media link that will plug into your tv and connect to your phone through wifi, allowing you to stream 720p at 30fps. Looks like it will be called "Tube"

engadget.com/2010/09/15/htcs-media-link-provides-the-wireless-dlna-support-your-phone-a/

twitpic.com/2ozqm6

if the links don't work, try putting http : // www in front of it.

(sorry for the spacing and cooky links, I guess my account is to shiny for links)

It looks like it is tied to sense. I wonder if it will work on the G2 without flashing sense..

I would love to see one of these in action. Looks like you just plug it into your non-dnla compliant tv - it is nice you don't have to plug your phone in to stream.

:cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] adavis159:
The cable you used actually exactly the same as a 3.5mm-to-RCA audio y-adaptor, the reason you got audio but not video is because you were feeding the right channel of audio-out into the video-in on the TV (and left audio-out into audio-in).

You will get the same video effect if you hook up a DVD player backwards
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] junkbots:
Is there any more news about video-out cables for the G2? There seem to be a bunch on Amazon, but looks like the reviews and various searches claim they're not compatible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkiceman:
i was just wondering the development or updates on this port.

not much on teh wiki
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirphunkee:
darkiceman, this thread belongs in the Q&A section, not in development. Take a moment and read the "STOP!! Before you post, read this NOW!!" thread at the top of both of these sections, it has clear guidelines for proper thread placement.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkiceman:
were can i read any updates on this port?
[Vibrant General] chan_max:
I have a hardware locked Vibrant, but I don't want to bother to replace it..

If I use Odin to flash a new rom, will it fix this issue? someone did that on I9000 and fix the problem.

If I used Odin and make my phone to be bricked, may I still can ask a replacement?

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] Erickomen27:
I've Seen Some People Saying Its A Software Issue, But It's Not.

I've Flashed A Different ROM Through ODIN And It Still Didn't Work
[Vibrant General] Digital_Warrior:
Unless the rom contains a new boot loader. It would not fiz the problem It would be close to flashing a new bios on the computer. The boot loader can ignore hardware keys and that is what is happening now. So it is software just not the operating system rom.
[Vibrant General] t1n0m3n:
I have noticed that when I connect a full on charger (as opposed to computer USB) to my phone, I cannot get into download or recovery mode. I wonder if this is similar to the "hardware" locked phones? Also this leads me to ask the question... Are we having a charger detection problem on these "locked" phones?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:
So CoOkie developed this amazing new layer at my request and hid it in the registry settings of the new and EFFING AMAZING CHT2.0 setup.. .

Now you have seen some of the neat stuff we have been trying to do with CHTS (scheduler) but this is something different.. and well.. simple..

But can have unlimited potential.. and can do all the crazy **** your mother warned you about...

Ok .. maybe not .. but it CAN do some really cool stuff.

Its Called "ForeLayer" and its exactly what it sounds like.. its a layer placed almost as high up onto the layers of the phone as possible.. skinning over the top of everything BUT the taskbar and CHT2 slider.

But the cool part? It has ZERO click interruption!! So you could lets say .. put some fish floating in the middle of your screen.. that will stay there on top of your icons , clock, ect.. but NOT interfere with click or swypability.

________________________________________________________

So here is a thread for all of us playing with this to post your own

Please include 2 files.. one on top of a wallpaper.. and the .png file itself.

Remember.. you can save them as anything you want.. but for them to load into the phone it must be placed into the appropriate folder and named ForeLayer.png then the phone has to be soft reset...

_______________________________________________________

Lets get busy and make some cool stuff and pack a thread full of window blinds into our phones.

Here is the RegEdit Cab thanks to Kurt (since i am an absolute moron when it comes to cabbing registry files apparently, and i was making people use regedit and assign values..) :)

Well... he made it a super simple .cab and after its installed.. all you have to do is drop your new files into the folder.. rename is appropriately and reset.

We included 3 of the first ones i built. The Fish , Broken Screen (*looks REALLY effin real) and Water.. lol... Have Fun.

Ps Only supports 480x800 for now.. it will sit on top of 960 and 1440 but the file itself must be 480.

http://www.brittondelizia.com/josh/ForeLayer.cab

using the cab file the forelayers are now in the phone root in a folder called "ForeLayer"

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
go to the forelayer folder on your storage card and rename forelayer.png to forelayerglass

then rename forelayerfish or tank to forelayer and softreset
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] miller710:
my attempt

so I downloaded a program called GIMP. look what I made. oh and my forelayer folder is in my phones internal memory not the sd card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
those are cool
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:

since i no you guys have an in, do you know if cookie ever plans on integrating the original animated themes that came with the stock roms? It seems like something like this is the first step in getting that back.........or maybe i'm just really tired and already starting to dream:rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkblak:
So can this be animated? I am thinking Live Wallpaper here. Fish swimming over everything - and being unclickable it's not going to interfere with anything else. This is a great feature.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurt-willems:
First you need to have/install CHT 2.0.0 Beta + (Recommended) CHTEditor 2.0.0.

After installation of this two, you simply install the cab posted on the first post; => soft reset, the broken glass is pre loaded. fore changing the image file you need to go into the ForeLayer folder, rename the file or edit the reg key.

But on that latest I will start to get work fore making a more easy switch.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] JonnieLasVegas:
Awesome! This may actually get me to give CHT 2.0 another chance!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] enyaj:
Yeah animated gif maybe would be cool. Also I noticed it does not skin upto the task bar for example the broken glass. It cuts off meaning it doesn't reach the top. Is there any way to make it go all the way to tha task bar? But it still very cool by the way!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rustamg:

actually... hey conan.. wanna make me a toggle switch cab with a matching toggle? you dont even have to change the icons if you dont wanna.

OOOOOOOOO even better.. can you just make one with some sort of on off indicater.. and ill just hide everything but the indicater.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] miller710:
ohmy. this is done using the forelayer? nice. makes mewant the 1440 support even more.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:
And using forelayer and scheduler you can make a minimal click copy that will move it form device to device.. this.. btw.. was the whole reason in concept i wanted forelayer in the first place.

hey kurt, any chance you can dinik an icon for your little foreskin app???:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurt-willems:
Probably yes :D But I need to know witch Icon to used!?

I mean fore the moment I have take a simple Windows7 configuration Icon, I didn't know what to use, even fore the moment I'm working on a second generation wit On/Off possibility and a quick Toggle button fore it, but same problem witch Icon to use?

It's more easier fore me to wright a script than finding a match icon. :o

Do you have maybe some Ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
sure....

which toggle is ityou need?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nrfitchett4:
I just figured the one you put into the Program would be fine. I can always search through my 500 dinik icons for something similar.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] preston74:
@kurt-willems

What do you think about those icons?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nrfitchett4:
any of those in a dinik flavor would work perfectly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] preston74:
what about this one?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] miller710:
while I appriciate his work anastasia is just not my style. I do like the clothes line icon though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurt-willems:
One word; perfect!

if my new script will working the new ForeLayer Application is closed to finish! :D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurt-willems:
Thanks to preston74 there are now better Icons present fore the application;

Of course I understand you (I'm also a big fan fore Anastasia) I will upload Anastasia Icons fore it separately on the Anastasia Thread! (not build in; not everyone like Anastasia) but everyone is free to set there style/look. ;):cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nrfitchett4:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Mob, how do you feel about light switch style toggles.......

Kinda like the on/off switch you already have on there.......

If your using the forelayer to cover the rest of the toggle apart from the switch then Ive got the original on/off toggles with the lightswitch slapped over the switch part if you want em.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:
thatd be cool
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
they look like crap but If your masking the rest with the forelayer then I guess it doesnt matter....

I guess you could always edit them so that they have that same greeny/white colour as teh wallpaper so they blend in more too......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] J-r0en:
Meh dont like those 'real' switches :\ Doesnt really match.

Neither are the icons from the switches (blutooth etc)

And i think the battery status is taking up too much space, its not thát important =p

imo. but the rest i like very much [6]
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:
Thanks.. yea.. i kinda quit.. i dont like the battery meter either.. or my toggle.. but i like my toggles more than the battery..

Im gonna rock it a day or so and see how it feels.. and see what i wanna do.

I might go find a website i like and get rid of some icons to make it feel more website(y).

i love my CHT icon.. btw.. lol

even the bluetooth wouldnt be that bad if it matched the other two better..

i think the battery meter was supposed to look like an advertisement at first.. (it was the first thing i put on the screen) and it just stuck.. but i def agree.. it needs to be changed more than anything..

The cool part is.. its all an overlay.. so the actual background isnt attached.. so you can change the background part of it at will.

This was the whole reason i wanted an overlay at first.. and im just now actually playing with it..

these were the first two incarnations.. while it was still in beta.

New ForeLayer Application v1.11

Okay guys; Im back with the new ForeLayer Application v1.11

I have tray to respect and add the most request about it.

Changes-Log v1.1

- Add information window fore enable and disable.

- Add toggle switch On/Off (without confirmation)

Ow I forgot to mention, The toggle option will make a backup of your settings. What I will mean is when you turn it on it will automatic restore the previous ForeLayer without you need to set it by the ForeLayer Application. ;)

- New Icon's

- The Toggle icon in the today screen will change to a on/off state.

So give it at tray, and let me know.

Remove first previous version. Before install the new version.

A soft request is not requested, but it's needed to loud correctly the icons.

Ps to all users; don't hurry you fore translate, I don't will you work fore nothing ;) If it is necessary there can be makes a new version.

Feedback is appreciate. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] :
Ok, it works for me, you still need to restart sense.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurt-willems:
Some more information pleas.

Strange?

I have install my cab fore about 5 times and used the Toggle switch fore about 20 times :confused:

But okay,

question

firs did you removed previous cab?

is the application working?

did you do a soft reset after installation?

Witch manila version do you have?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] :
Yeah, I got it, I didn't realize that you still need to restart sense.:) I will upload CHT Icons for those who prefer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] preston74:
thanks for update kurt-willems.

for me toggle icons does change. i mean i have always ON icon. even when ferelayer is disabled. and i have to manualy restart sense (with cht switch) to see changes. i think its application should do it. im right?

but its only small things, everything else works great.

thanks again.

oops i forgot, i have sense 2.5.2018.
