So with no HDMI out.. and no support for MHLout of the box.. will it be possible to add MHL support through ROMs? or is this something that is hardware related?
No MHL requires a chip which the nexus 7 doens't have

I brought a MHL to HDMI adapter and I do not get a picture from it with my i9305 LTE
When I connect/disconnect I get a toast message to say HDMI connected/disconnected. and the phone charges.
When I connect a i9300 phone to the HDMI adapter it works OK.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Some early ones (9300) are wired differently and our 9305 will not work
Is there a specific adapter for the i9305 or have they removed the functionality

11-pin MHL-HDMI Adapter/Dongle
The Samsung Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II use a connector that is similar to the original 5-pin MHL-HDMI adapter/dongle, but it uses 11-pins in order to achieve a few functional improvements over the 5-pin design.
It supports the use of USB and MHL simultaneously. (Note that the new Samsung 11-pin MHL-HDMI adapter also has a USB On-The-Go port).
Samsung’s Galaxy S III/ Note 2 can power the MHL-HDMI adapter (when used with a non-MHL-compatible-TV). Although this can theoretically also be done with the standard 5-pin micro-USB connector, the Galaxy S III's 11-pin connector is believed to be the first smartphone that supports this functionality.

OK so I checked and the model I have is 11 pin
EPL-3FHUBEGSTD
Which is the one you linked too.
Have you checked the USB debugging in advanced settings
I just checked mine today for the first time since I bought it from Amazon about 2 weeks ago. Cost me £9 - works fine. Although sometimes, it does lag a bit.

I have tried with USB debugging on and off. Its usually on for dev purposes.
I spoke to Samsung who suggested I have a faulty MHL.
I have just had another thought though. I am running Nova Launcher, maybe touchwiz is required. I will give it another try tomorrow.
I was right, change back to touchwiz and the HDMI adapter works.
Thanks for the help
Do hdmi works on aosp custom rom?
no Samsung mhl is proprietary the 11 pins make it unique compared to standard mhl ports. as far as I know I have not heard of any aosp rom that has mhl enabled or working
Any luck?
Can anyone recommend a cheap mhl hdmi adapter from eBay?

my optoma projector doesnt detect output and if i connect my phone to my tv, it just triggers the car dock application
doesnt the Butterfly S support HDMI out through MHL?
did anyone else try mhl to hdmi?
Hi all.
I have used a MHL cable with my Xperia T ever since I got it.
With the original firmware, it would work fine with a basic HDMI cable and pretty much any TV with a HDMI input.
I've just been on holiday for 2 wks and discovered on day 2 that the latest firmware had a different MHL driver that requires HDCP. Apart from needing a newer spec cable, I also need a TV which supports HDCP - which the one at the holiday home didn't. My 5 year old was not impressed with not being able to watch any of his films for 2 wks!
So, anyone know of a way of getting back to a state where MHL is more user friendly? (Without having to rip back to earlier firmware.)
Seems mad Sony would force the feature since a lot of TVs don't support HDCP.
After no responses and my own continuing investigations I've solved my own problem and thought I'd post the outcome in case anybody else has a similar issue...
The MHL functionality works fine if both the TV and the cable are pre-HDCP. The problem I must've actually had was that the TV was HDCP compliant but my cable isn't HDMI v1.3+ (so didn't support HDCP.)
Basically, the solution to the problem I was experiencing is to use a HDCP compliant cable in all cases. That way it'll work on HDCP compliant and older spec TVs regardless. My confusion was caused by the message the phone prompted, which said the TV had to support HDCP - when in fact it did and the cable was the problem!
Is there option to use chromcast as MHL cable? I mean sth like this: phone > USB OTG cable > standard usb-microusb cable - chromecast > TV

No not really...
MHL is just another name for Slimport. And it depends a lot on device support, many older devices have a true Mini HDMI port while newer models add slimport support to their USB port that can be plugged into a TV with the proper Slimport adapter.

i meant if phone already support MHL
I use Xperia Z1, its rooted and now it support screen mirroring but MHL is lagless, perfect for playing games especially if you have wireless game controller

Doesn't change the answer as far as the CCast is concerned....
the USB port is really only used for Powering the device under stock conditions and while I assume it might be possible to add MHL support to a Custom rom for Rooted units at this point none of that exists.
CCast is not really a display adapter it is a media device that is more like a browser on a stick.
Once booted the CCast can only communicate and get data via WiFi and thats where the lag comes from.
That said games written specifically for the CCast work differently as the game runs natively on the CCast and you control it via wireless which reduces the lag since very little bandwidth is needed and all the data intensive work is done on the device where WiFi and latency can't affect it.
But so far most games for CCast are very rudimentary I think your looking or Graphic intensive games that normally play on the mobile device...
I think the best you will from those types regarding CCast support is a Observer view where some can watch the action happening on the mobile device but where delay and lag doesn't affect the player.
You are better off and pretty much resigned to using cables for true live update.
This might sound stupid, but has anybody tried and hdmi dongle with a different rom? Something that is not built on top of miui? Maybe it's a limitation of miui.
Black shark 2 also is stated to have usb 2.0, yet it supports hdmi out. I remember another phone with the 2.0 that supports hdmi out. Zte axon
anybody?
Far as i know, the mi 9 does'nt supporte video over usb c.
as I already stated, I'm looking for somebody on a non-MIUI rom and an usb-c to hdmi adapter that can test.
