Next release is going to be public, open to everybody. I couldn't finish it last night and this evening I have other commitments, I think it will be ready this weekend.

Hmm..I was lost and puzzled about the dead end of the XDA thread, was watching closely and then poof...gone. Glad to see the project is alive and well here. Just stumbled upon it here. Can't wait to see this in action. Thank you for all your hard work and perseverance.

One more that found this thread an amazing piece of work. I'm without words to thank Orrebmas for his effort.

I've had my EVE going on 3 months and bought it because of the HDMI out. Well, I still have a hand print embeded in my forehead when I "discovered" the limited HDMI function. These 57 pages have been a most interesting and hopful source of info.

Again, my thanks to Orrebmas, his testers and the folks that run this site. Excellent jobs guys!

I am eager for the official release. Will this be available through the "normal" Android Market?

I have a 7" 720P LCD I molded into my dash (set back 3"inches) several years back. I'm looking forward to running "Torque" on that screen. On the downside, I'll need to do a HDMI to VGA conversion.

I got one of those cables on eBay for a few bucks, but it's been collecting dust until now. It's HDMI to RCA/VGA. I'm going to take out my in-dash this weekend to connect the cable back onto the receiver and see if I can get it to mirror on my in-dash without a converter by playing with the resolutions. I'll try and report back tomorrow night, as I plan to do this tomorrow during the day. I wanna the Torque, too.

Wow!! Can't wait! I hope this definitely hits the market too! Plan on donating but really hope this takes off for you! ...especially considering all the recent junk you put up with!! Congratulations Orrebmas!

I have a virgin evo that has never been rooted, with a stock sprint rom. if you would like me to (and I could be so lucky to) test it out on that platform, I would be more than happy to. I test software for a living, so I'm very good at not only finding issues, but also and more importantly, remembering and documenting the steps required to duplicate them as well!
Thank you.

FullHDMI public beta release

All,
It is here finally, FullHDMI "limited time" public beta is attached in this post. This version is to mass test the app and get feedback before the next step.
I will be making an announcement later today about the beta and its purpose, but for now I am attaching it and going to get some sleep. You will need the Kernel posted several pages back on this thread to enable some features, and root. I just realized that non-root is broken as of this version.

Some of the things you need to know about before tinkering with the app, pasting quickly:

I have a possible suggestion for those of you that are having the screen going off the edges. I am not ashamed to admit that I was thinking I had the same problem, but I realized that I had a setting for the aspect ratio on the TV set to cut it off.
Most TVs have multiple options for aspect ratio. For example, zoom, hourglass, etc. Just make sure this setting is set to fill the screen.
I am not saying that is the case for all of you, it just was for me. Once I changed the setting, it filled the screen perfectly without messing with the X Y resolutions.

And also:

Adding on to the notes and known issues/observations:

1- To achieve hardware acceleration, video memory (minimal) has to be used. Some poorly coded programs that also use video memory will try to grab a hold of the entire memory block instead of the available. This will cause them to crash when you are in hardware mode reserving a small block of memory to yourself. The only application that I found to be doing this is, strangely enough, HTC's Gallery (specifically video playback mode). Gallery video playback will keep trying to acquire the whole video memory, put the phone in a tight infinite loop doing so and eventually force close (after about 40 sec).
Compatibility or software mode does not use video memory and is safe to keep on while launching Galley video playback. Compatibility mode also does not make use of the "supercharged" feature, custom res or fullscreen mode.

2- FPS: Your frames per second will not be the same as on your phone. This is because the app is designed to keep the phone as primary display and output a secondary to the HDMI port. You are also outputting, most likely, a 1280x720 pixels which is almost ~2.5 times more the normal output. So in total you are pushing 3.5 lcd size screen worth of pixels (phone lcs + hdmi). Things can be improved if we freeze the phone display, but that wont be mirroring (maybe a feature in FullHDMI 2). Expect, however, to get more FPS in 3-D games (I get upwards of 40 fps on Raging Thunder 2) than 2-D sine he 2-D engine does the mirroring.

3- Lag: Some TVs (like Insignia) use an image enhancing and noise reducing engine. This extra processing puts the TV about half a second behind the phone making games unplayable by looking at the TV only. Watching movies is fine since nobody cares if the phone is a little faster than the TV. On this Insignia TV, I had to go in and turn off two image enhancing and noise reducing features, and now my phone and TV track together. I know Sony has its own engine, I do not know if the extra processing there introduces lag. I have two other TVs with no lag issues, but then they don't use any image enhancing engines.
Again, the app should not lag in mirroring, if you experience any lag then please check your TV and share your observation with us.
4- This app was not designed to display youtube or other apps that already work over HDMI. To use such apps you should stop FullHDMI from driving the HDMI signal first.

Enjoy.

You are the man. 2 months to finish something people have been trying since evo came out. WOW.

 

[rugedraw]

Thank you, orrebmas. Get some well deserved rest. We look forward to seeing more great stuff from you in the future.

 

[SmokeCrawler]

Been patiently waiting for this. Thanks for all your hard work. Can't wait to make the guys jealous at work!!

 

[mytich]

I want to donate. How? Where?
And what does "Limited time" mean?
Will this app expire?

 

[smilyjay]

Thank you sir, for completing the Evo! Will be donating! Thanks again!

edit..thanks

 

[mytich]

does this one need the Kernel like the other hacked version that was released?
