Evo HDMI out mirroring?

Not open for further replies.
I am a beginner but I have been following this tread since xda and I'm very interested in this. thank you guys for all the hard work and man hrs you put into this. My silly question is this only for user with root? thanks!
 
I for one hope it is available to everyone rooted or not... of course my EVO has been rooted forEver..
 
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.
 
From what I gather, this will only initially be available for Sense roms? AOSP later?

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.

If you have the zip, you don't need to do any of this. With Artlans zip, just go into recovery, wipe dalvik cache (just to be safe), choose to install a zip, and then just flash it. That will automatically do all of the steps above. You will have the HDMI drivers in your kernel, as well as the Wimax and Wifi drivers on your rom.

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 all the questions.

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.

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 have to think anyone developing Sense ROMS would be totally on board with putting this in the kernel. As that develops, maybe you could do something to put it in one of the more popular kernels? There are a couple that were developed seperately from any ROM, but support sense Roms?

The reason I ask is that I do agree with another poster that was asking for an overclocking kernel. Some of the things I want to do with this app do require alot of processing power, and even if I can just get another .1ghz out of the kernel, that would probably alleviate some of the stress on the processor.

Keep up the good work!

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!

I don't have enough posts to send you a message orrebmas to become a beta tester but will like to thank you for all the time and dedication that you have put into these project, came over from xda and found you through a google search...
 
Here is another video. YouTube - Hulu over 3G using fullHDMI

This is Kitchen Nightmares. It was just one of the top videos on Hulu for that day. I did this through Dolphin Browser, and I was only connected over 3G.

For those of you that didn't know you could watch Hulu on the Evo, if you do some searching you should be able to find how. If you have searched and still can't find it, PM me. Please don't post with requests about Hulu. Keep this thread about fullHDMI.

In any case this went really well. Just another one of the amazing options with this app.

No problem, welcome to the thread. To answer your question, yes, that kernel should work with a stock rooted phone. Just flash the zip via recovery, and then you will just need the app. I would go ahead and flash the zip just to make sure there are no bugs. If the kernel works just fine, then you are all set, and then you just need to wait for Sam to open this up to more people.
