Evo HDMI out mirroring?

[artlan]

Thanks for packaging the kernel and modules into a flashable zip Artlan. I had planned on spending some time this evening figuring out how to make it, since not many had much success with fastboot. If you email it to me I can distribute it to the alpha testers, or you can put a link up in a post here if you'd like, since it will be needed in Beta soon.

Well, if your okay with it being here, I'll put up a link in a bit for it (have to leave the office for a bit first).
Anyone using it, just please be aware this is very alpha, and I haven't even fully tested this flash out. I DO know my wifi works still and my 4G launches and tries to connect, but there's no 4G in my work area to connect to.

I did notice 1 issue with my phone, but am not sure if it's kernel related (can't see HOW it would be...). will be trying a restore later tonight to test it out though. SD test program is reporting my write speed as basically halved what it was late night. (again, this could be related to various things I did beside this flash, so take that comment with a LOT of salt)

Okay, was an ordeal getting the kernel installed (mostly because I was unable to use fastboot for it and had to figure out how to make a working zip to flash), but I got a working flashable zip the installs the kernel and the 2 driver updates.
bradleyw801 - If you need this, let me know and I'll e-mail it to you. It looks like it's all working fine but I won't be able to test anything until late this evening. 4G and Wifi both activate still anyways

If you don't mind, I'd like the zip file. I can install the kernel via fastboot, but no matter what I do, I can't get the WiFi/WiMax files to push; they are giving me a hard time. Then again, I am not adept with ADB at all.

The kernel with the modified drivers is public, its fine to release it Artlan. This will eventually go into Sense ROMs to enable hardware accel for HDMI mirroring.

One more video... This was playing Super Punch Out. If anyone wants me to try something else, let me know. I don't have Sling Box, and at the moment, my Wifi isn't working, but I am happy to test anything else.

Please do. I would like to try this .zip, just in case it's something I did that killed my wifi and 4g.

That's good stuff! I can't wait to start messing with it. My 2 y/o is going to FREAK OUT when she can play all her little games on the big screen.

HDMI Flashable Kernel

HDMI kernel.zip

Here's the zip I concocted and managed to flash into my EVO 4G running Fresh Rom.

Note - this is JUST the Kernel/Modules, NOT the program itself.
Flash at your own risk - always remember : BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP (then backup some more for good measure!)

This was created by gutting out one of netarchy's kernels and replacing the files needed/removing everything else.

Goodluck!

Thank you, sir. However, I just got the files pushed by placing them on my SD card and then then copying them into the right path from there. It took me a bit to figure it out, but I overcame my noobness. lol

I still gave you your well-deserved thanks, though.

I did something similar. I just took the .ko files and used an app called super manager, which is a root file explorer, and I copied and pasted them straight into the module folder. But either that didn't work, or my rom isn't compatible, so I am going to try this .zip and see how it goes.

@artlan

Thanks for the .zip!

No problem! Let me know how it goes!
I was tempted to use Root Explorer to push those, but since I couldn't get past step 1 (flash kernel) and this looked like it'd do both.. figured why not?

Just in case, I followed this thread:

[GUIDE] ADB Workshop and Guide for everyone - xda-developers

In particular, the portion below:

Pushing files can be done to any directory, however, some are protected.
For instance, /system is going to give you a permission denied or a read only filesystem error.
To get around this, the easiest thing to do is push the file to your sdcard, then log into the shell:
Code:

adb shell

Code:

su

We will then mount the system as writable
Code:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system

Then we can use something like
Code:

cp /sdcard/test.txt /system/app/test.txt

cp stands for copy
and it requires the path of the file and destination path.

Obviously, replace the file names and file paths with what you need, but these instructions worked for me the first time around with no issues.

What type of TV or monitor are you using? Have you tried another TV?

This means that you do not have the right kernel yet. Check for that in "Settings-> About Phone-> Software Info", the kernel version there should read "2.6.32.15 root@ubuntu #1".

Try switching to compatibility mode, you should get an output there regardless of the kernel.

TV is 50" Panasonic G20 Plasma.
I plugged into display directly & also tried using Pioneer 1020k receiver HDMI into TV having no luck.
Audio works no video.....picture slide show works as should though.
No other monitor to try unfortunately

Yep that's what Ive been running.
I reinstalled twice to make sure it set in properly still getting same no video result

This zip did the trick! Wifi is back, 4G is back, and the flickering is pretty much completely gone too!

My two cents is that with this zip, this app is now ready for everyday use. Thanks Artlan, I would have been stuck without your help. Plus I think your packaging helped move this that much closer to a public beta.

+1, thanks artlan.

ahhh the suspense!!!

 

[Slingbox]

hmm connected to HDMI and cam flash turned on wont turn off so there's definitely some conflict somewhere.
I'm going to reinstall fresh Rom & kernel see how it goes.
