I'm pretty irritated at this point; I'm gonna be pretty blunt and dickish here, you've been warned...

Still broken; will not prompt to download the daemon under any conditions (even wiping the app and it's data completely, including the 'rm -rf /data/hdmid' shinzul posted to remove the daemon completely, which broke all my previous working versions also). I made a detailed post about this about a week ago and it clearly seems I'm not the only one with this issue, which has been summarily ignored and disregarded, based on the posts in this thread and a majority of the market comments.

Can we get a button to force downloading/checking for the newer daemon version? There's supposed to be this mythical page with a button to download the new daemon, I saw it once many, many versions ago, now apparently it doesn't exist in my reality, or I haven't unlocked some easter egg to get to it; who knows... Should I assume another week will go by with no resolution or comment on this? (i.e. we're aware of, we're working on, your smoking crack, etc)

Alpha worked ok, Beta worked great, first and second releases where WIN, but everything since has been HDMfail.

I'm very close to dropping the $ on the other HDMI app to see if it at least works; but I would much rather support HDMwIn, too bad it doesn't seem to want to support me...
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
I wasn't having quite the same issue as you but it definitely asked me to update the module (at least once, maybe twice) after I did the steps in the lower half of my previous post here...

Ive posted a couple times how great apps been treating me which it still does.

Previous 2 builds were having major handshake issue but thats now resolved.

Ive been running (Nighly build-18) with (SavagedZen-1.0.0-CFS-HAVS-WiMAX-GB-noSBC-signed) the last couple weeks on 50" Panasonic G20 using mid grade hdmi cable.

Being that nightly are....well nightly & kernels are dime a dozen it leads me to believe there has to be clash occurring so who fixes what.

[EVO 4G Android Development] cody_dingo:
You have every right to be irritated. You've thrown hundreds of dollars to shinzul to support his app and development and the least he can do is answer you personally and directly.

And, it isn't like you're running an unstable nightly rom like CM7 with an HDMI app on top that has been COMPLETELY REVERSE ENGINEERED to support full mirroring. You're running completely stable software and shinzul purchased the source for HDMI from HTC with the money you've thrown his way.

I'm with you man. I'd be pissed, too.

FYI, shinzul has been out of town over the past weekend and through today and part of tomorrow, so yes development and bugfixes will slow as he's the main app dev, sorry for the inconvenience but family first.

edit: also users in #htc-evo have been under constant ddos attack this weekend, so while some of the #teamwin members may have been able to spend time working on our projects, time has been taken up trying to help resolve issues there.

Running cm7 rc4 phone locks up on insertion of cable. Under mikfroyo sound doesn't work through HDMI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ERamseth:
So here's a semi-obvious question about 720p video playback that I didn't see asked or answered (sorry if it has been... I searched and scrolled and didn't come across anything)...

So the Evo screen is 480x800 (800x480 in landscape)... I have a 720p video that plays on the phone... Obviously it gets scaled down (probably in hardware? maybe in software?) To the output resolution (so from 1280x720 to 800x480)... The phone screen is mirrored back to HDMI at 1280x720... Basically, then, is the video scaled down then scaled back up?

The reason I ask is, in that case there is no advantage in having a 1280x720 video versus an 800x480 video. In fact, I'd rather have an 800x480 video in that case because it takes up less space.

I'm not even sure there's a way for me to test this experimentally by encoding different files and looking at playback quality our anything like that, so I'm guessing shinzul or someone else who understands the source code and inner workings of the whole shebang will have to chime in.

I'm definitely interested in the answer though, as I'd love to be able to fit a full length film in addition to enough music to keep me happy throughout the day on one 8GB micro sdhc card.

Tl;dr: does a video with higher resolution than the Evo's screen get scaled down to fit the screen then the whole screen get scaled back up to 720p hdmi output? Or does the video playback bypass the scale down, scale up cycle?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
So you're saying that shinzul paid for drivers that were released under open source?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Splaktar:
Has anyone else been hitting Wifi issues with this new kernel when HDMwIn is enabled on Sense? I got it working last night. The video output seemed to work fine. The issues occurred once I tried to stream video via Flash. It would just start disconnecting my Wifi. I tried with 3G and it worked fine. But it kept disconnecting my Wifi over and over again, even after rebooting the AP.

I was finally able to watch an entire show streamed over HDMI out. Unfortunately it was in 380p since I had to do it over 3G. Barely tolerable quality.

Thanks for the hard work.

Ok, I'll give you that. I'm just sick of people *****ing about anything and everything. Takes some big balls to complain about [mostly] free things on this forum. It's one thing to post bug reports or to ask questions, but to demand answers like they are your cable company is just insane.

I'm not sure which posts I like more: the kind I was just referring to, or the grand announcements that "I'm leaving this CM7 crap behind until it gets stable." Do they think people care if they are leaving all of us idiots behind that are running CM7 successfully?

[EVO 4G Android Development] tomguide:
Great work, this is really a must have for EVO owners!

I have 2 quick questions:

1) I am currently using sense 2.2 rom on evo 4g, and I installed both HDMwIn and wireless tethering (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) apps, which seem to have some problem with each other. The wifi tethering stops working after a while and then I have to restart the tether, this just happened after I installed HDMwIn. I have flashed a modified kernel from this thread. Is this something known like a bug or I might have missed something?

2) I am planning to flash to a GingerBread AOSP rom on my EVO, do I still need to apply a modified kernel to make this hdmwin app work? Any known issue on AOSP rom?

Thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] Knight2011:
After i updated the app it no longer works.

It keeps saying that the hdmi cable was unplugged. Any ideas?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Zim415:
I see Cody likes to whine like a tool; really nice.

This is a forum, after all. I didn't know I wasn't allowed to voice my frustration. How dare I point out that this issue has been overlooked for weeks and has filled up the market comments with 1 star reviews, what nerve I must have.

Shinzul is a great guy and I have much respect for him especially since I have reversed engineered from machine and assembly code many, many times myself. It is not easy.

Thank you eyeballer for your professional response, at least you didn't confuse my frustration as something else. I would like to help resolve this daemon issue, and as someone that hangs out on #htc-evo I would happily do anything Shinzul asks to help debug this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] peteus:
If I may interrupt for a moment.

For all those who tried different kernels and roms and were still getting UI freezes and “cable undetected”, I would suggest trying another cord. My first micro HDMI cord was working fine but stopped working after an update, so I thought app or kernel change was an issue. However, after I purchased and tried another cord, everything works fine on Sony Bravia.

Thanks goes to all open source developers who did something HTC and Sprint advertized and cashed on, but never accomplished. I am frustrated with many things. Frustrated that corp greedy BOD, CEO’s, and main investors are sucking all the money, pay their employees last- with whatever is left over, and disregard customers. Bringing Evo on the market year ago, advertizing how well it plays or records 720p thus make use of HDMI was all lie. Neither could Evo record any acceptable quality (especially audio) video, nor could it transmit anything except slideshow to a TV screen (video was broken with first official update). They never cared to do anything about this.

One more time thanks to all talented people who made Evo 4G the phone I imagined decade ago. Useful all round multimedia communication device I can put in my pocket. BTW, Apple sucks. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cody_dingo:
You know, you're right on the money again. Of our two posts, mine was definitely the one that was whining.

You weren't merely voicing frustration. You were, as you put it, being dickish. You could have gotten the same point of your post across without all of the negativity. You can try and defend yourself however you want, but the negativity certainly isn't going to help you debug this problem if shinzul asks for your help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluedawgalex:
im running 2.2 sprint lovers rom but its not working..

my question is if i run the alternate kernel what will change?

i've been reading about people having conflicts with wifi tethering and thats a deal breaker for me as i need the tethering for school.

any help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
Okay, I have sprintlovers 2.2.

This is my first time actually answering a question on here so I'm excited to help :D

HDMwIn didn't work on my stock kernel. I downloaded netarchy 4.2.3 or whatever the newest one is that has HDMI compatibility and my phone ran like total poopoo. I ran the one without any undervolting or trickle charging so if that one doesnt work the others probably wont be any better.

I instead downloaded the Team Win accelerated kernel that was linked on the first post here (poonsense kernel). HDMI now works and that kernel works just as good as the stock one (very smooth) and I have already verified that my phone still has wifi tethering. Been using that kernel for a few days and so far nothing out of the ordinary and I have been looking and trying to find problems. Benchmarks and quadrant scores also show the kernel to be on par with the stock one. One thing I noticed is it seems my pics load faster in my gallery but it could be in my head.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluedawgalex:
wow thank you very much so i'll flash the first kernel and hope for the best..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
Yeah, good luck I don't know how experienced you are but make a recovery backup first. Also wipe dalvik and cache before flashing kernel. I'm not experienced so please don't think I"m talking down to you, I"m just posting what I had to remind myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluedawgalex:
no not at all..thanks a lot.. i'll be sure to backup and everything and wipe first before i do anything
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
I'm not sure why the wifi tether and the hdmwin would conflict with each other on sense... but a modified kernel is not "required". It only helps boost performance.

If you flash a gingerbread AOSP rom, you should be fine as well. The kernel that comes in CM7 includes the code for accelerated HDMI anyway. Also, you can tether without the Wifi Tether app since it's built into the ROM.

Hope that helps!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ERamseth:
Are you sure? If this was the case, why did teamwin provide an additional AOSP kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ereinhart:
Aosp is still waiting on the EDID parsing kernel fix, other than that, the cm7 kernel works great

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
Both myself and the poster you are responding to are running sprintlovers 2.2. Neither of us were able to use the HDMwIn at all on stock kernel. I downloaded HDMI accelerated kernel now it works perfect. I suspect that with some ROMs an accelerated kernel is required for functionality at all or at least something of that nature.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyeballer:
The additional AOSP kernel was written originally with the first stages of testing HDMwIn. Soon after the changes were submitted to the CM tree and merged into the cm7 kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ERamseth:
That makes sense err that makes AOSP err... You know what i mean... Thanks for clearing that up.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
I updated the OP to reflect that you need to keep the custom kernel to avoid screen tearing.

Also, next release will show an option to disable the teamwin banners ;)

[EVO 4G Android Development] sturmen:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Cjunior:
First try just using rom maneger with clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 after that didn’t work I flashed RA recovery 2.3 wiped everything, flashed the rom. Reboot sign in and everything waited to sync, after I reboot and wiped cache and dalvik-cache flash the hdmi file and reboot.. as soon as I flash the hdmi and reboot I get stuck at the white boot screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bradleyw801:
Thanks. You can even keep the logo. I don't mind that. It's the white that I don't like. Too stark of a contrast. If you had a black banner with a grey "HDMwIn" icon that would be less distracting.

As far as the kernel, I will flash the kernel you suggest and let you know if there is improvement.

As far as why UltimateDroid, I like some of the features he added. I can see that it's 90% CM6, and these days he gives you all credit for that, but there are a few things he did that I like better.

Rest assured I have buried the hatchett. I appreciate this work, and will use whichever version of HDMI I find the most success with. If I find this to be a better option, and start using it daily, I will also gladly donate to you guys, because I think you deserve to be paid for your time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bradleyw801:
My bad. It looks like I was wrong. I never actually had the fullHDMI zip installed. I was running off the kernel that gets installed by default. My previously posted results are from the HDMwIn app and kernel.

When I did sucessfully install the fullHDMI zip, based off Netarchys, I could only get the background wall paper. No actual mirroring.

But, again, this confirms that this app, with no alterations, works fine on earlier variations of CM. Some work to be done still, but a good start.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
So far so good. No screen tearing w/ custom kernel in op, also its pretty damn smooth for an alpha. I did notice that since my adwex homescreen is set to portrait only I had some issue switching to landscape. Ex: started up angry birds, set hdmi app to auto rotate and on phone its landscape but on tv its portrait only. Tried it with stupid zombies game same deal. So I assume auto rotation still needs ton of polishing but for an alpha you guys are kicking a$$ and taking names. I will say that my 42" 120hz LG displayed the picture flawlessly with this app colors were super vibrant thus making the white banners very "kind of in the way's like the above guy said. Lastly, the only flicker/screen tearing I found was when hdmi was ON and I started recording my tv would flicker.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bradleyw801:
To clarify, I only thought I did this. That was my mistake, I was actually using your kernel all along. And I never said the performance was abysmal, or tearing, I just said it was flickering on most scenarios I tried.

Thanks for taking a step back and taking into consideration that this is a very early preview, and things are still being worked out. fullHDMI is further in development, but also isn't going to provide as much of a benefit to the community as Shinzul's solution, since HDMwIn will be open sourced.

It's nice to see someone taking a much more mature approach than we are used to seeing on XDA.

Ok so I downloaded the alpha, installed the zip on my cm7 #14 rom, plugged in this pos hdmi cable, and my touchscreen and bottom buttons quit working. This cable has never fully worked properly on any rom without me holding it in place, could it be bad cable shorting something out? It only tends to happen when I wiggle the cable. The only way to fix the phone is to remove the battery and reboot. I have tried this on 4 screens in my house with hdmi and all do the same thing. Before it had happend on sense roms, but I at least got notification of hdmi plugged in.
