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.
Sorry for the dumb question but if i have the zip file for the kernel do i follow the directions above and just replace the text.txt with HDMI kernel.zip to install this? Your help is greatly appreciated. I have my evo rooted with Fresh so I should have what i need already to get this to work.... if not let me know what else I need. Thanks again.
You need two things to test jbabecki, Artlan's zip (public) and the apk which is not public yet. Having the kernel on will prepare you to run the apk only but you will not see anything different by just flashing it.Sorry for the dumb question but if i have the zip file for the kernel do i follow the directions above and just replace the text.txt with HDMI kernel.zip to install this?

Also will we have to flash that custom kernel for this to work? I'm guessing kernel developers could patch the HDMI in their respective kernels also?
Sorry for all the questions.
I for one hope it is available to everyone rooted or not... of course my EVO has been rooted forEver..
This will be available to everybody including out-of-the-box Evos. However, to use Hardware Acceleration and supercharge mode, you will need an enabled kernel, which requires root. Unrooted Evos will be able to use "Software Mode" by toggling compatibility.
Once your project is complete, will custom kernel makers like netarchy be able to put your HDMI stuffs into his custom kernels?
I started talks with different ROM authors to enable FullHDMI support in their kernel, and my guess is we will see this soon in their release notes.
Sam, any thoughts on what rom you recommend with this kernel? ...would love to try this with my blockbuster app, but will the kernel work with stock rooted?
The blockbuster quality of video should look pretty good considering a near 2 hour movie is 1.2 gb ...if it does, finally no more trips to redbox!
