I can’t get the HDMI port to work.

Could not get HDMI port to work

CNA 4.1.2
Just tried CNA Android Version 4.1.2 and it too has no HDMI function.

Eclipse 3.1
Just tried Eclipse 3.1 (Android 4.0.4) and it seems fully functional.
Cannot post links yet. Weird because it let me before. Google it.

Until hashcode finishes his new kexec kernel, non-blur ROMs won't have any HDMI support. As such, anything requiring HDMI out (including AppRadio, which I also use) will not be usable on any ROM that isn't based off MotoBLUR until it's ready.

new to the site and did a search for app radio 2 and bionic and your post showed up as a result.
I just order the appradio 2, from what I understand from your post is that a stock bionic works fine with this appradio. Can you control apps from the appradio, gps and music files?
I was reading on other forums and watching videos and the mention this app ARLiberator but your phone has to be rooted,
My phone is not rooted yet i am trying to figure out what root i need to do first, have never rooted a phone yet.

[Q] Working Bluetooth audio on any JB ROM?

I've tried several JB ROMS on my Bionic but none seem to have working BT audio. ie I want to connect the phone to my car through BT but no one can here me on calls.
I know this is common to JB but are there any ROMS that work or is there some fix/trick?
Thanks

ICS ROM with HDMI output settings?

Hi,
I'm looking for some advice / help with my LG 2x, I currently have the stock 30a ICS rom installed and I'm using it to connect to my Pioneer Appradio 2 using ARliberator. The phones connects to the stereo fine and I can almost fully use it from the head unit but the problem I have is that I need the HDMI to output at 480p as the bluetooth touch coordinates are calibrated inaccuratly (seems to be 720p with no menu available to change it). I'm already rooted and happy to use a different ROM which must be ICS or above and HDMI settings and Bluetooth are essential.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance

[Q] N1 Official Car Dock with CM10.1

Yesterday I installed CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.2 v5.0 for N1 and have found it to be quite stable and fast. Maybe even smoother than the ICS rom I had been using! But I can't seem to get it to pair with the car dock.
/sys/devices/virtual/switch/dock/bt_addr does populate with the dock's MAC address correctly
/sys/devices/virtual/switch/dock/state reads as 2
From what I can tell it seems it never puts the dock into a pairable state?
Does anyone know if there's a trick to getting this to work?
I found this post where someone seems to have done most of the legwork on how the automatic pairing process works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=643610&page=3 but I can't even pair it manually since it doesn't show up in the list of available bluetooth devices.
I've verified the my bluetooth is working fine in other capacities.
Thanks!
works with my galaxy s 4 / hacks

[Q] FM Tuner Bionic JB 4.1.2 [ROOT]?

Hello Everybody,
I have scoured the web in search of a working FM Radio Tuner for my Droid Bionic runnning 4.1.2. Unfortunately they have decided to pull support for the FM Radio in the Bionic, which really doesn't make any sense to me. I really enjoyed having the FM Tuner in my Bionic, I like to listen to the TVs at the Gym while I'm working out. Now I have to go buy a seperate FM Tuner to do that.
There was an FM apk that was on this website somewhere, however it does not work. I have rooted my Bionic using the Ubuntu method, wifi hotspot hack is enabled, and that's all I've done to my phone after the OTA JB update. The FM Radio provided off this website just sits there saying it's "launching...one moment please" and it goes on for hours with absolutely no results.
However I have found that Spirit FM Free will work with the Bionic, if you have it rooted. It's a crappy radio though, sound is shotty, tuning is horrid, my car recieves better reception than Spirit FM Free.
Anyone have any ideas, anyone know of any Jelly Bean APKs that will work with the Bionic and allow access to the FM Tuner?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You All,
CAMarsh1987
I hear ya
I use the fm tuner the same way at the gym I guess its about money maybe someone will get a workaround in the near future not sure if I want to root my bionic

[Q] Intoduction and Q on CM 10.2 and Motorola Vehicle Dock

Greetings,
I'm new to modding but not Android. I have had android phones for since the Droid X was new. I had rooted it on froyo, but lost root with the GB OTA and didn't bother to go further. The Droid X has been retired, though I have thought of playing around with it, just because it's sitting in a drawer. Recently as my Droid 4 (my upgrade from Droid X) ages, I was motivated to get back into it and try some custom ROMs. Just by lurking and reading this and similar forums i was able to successfully Root, Safestrap, and flash to CM 10.1 stable, then on to 10.2 and 11 nightlies... Also i was able to Unlock BL, set up custom recovery, and flashed CM 11 to my Nexus 10 all without asking a single question! All is great, I love Cyanogenmod, but... The ONE thing I miss from stock is the car dock app for the official Motorola vehicle dock. Obviously that is long gone unless I want to SBF (I don't), but I am looking for a replacement app.
And here is where I am stumped... For my Droid 4, I have tried many of the dock apps on the play store (including CarHomeUltra, which I see everyone recommend) but have not found something that does what I want. I have not found an app that can launch simply by being placed in the dock, this was a nice feature of the stock Moto app. Also, the original app routed phone audio through the usb connection, where a special cable split off to an aux out plug and a standard usb charger. Since i do not have bluetooth in my car, only Aux in (which I hacked into my stock radio), I am looking for an app that can route the audio through USB correctly. Since this is so device/accessory specific, I have a feeling that such an app probably does not exist? I guess I am wondering if the Motorola Vehicle mode APK is available so I can sideload it... For now I am using bluetooth headphones in the car, but that is not ideal especially when I have passengers. As a workaround, I have also looked at Bluetooth to Aux out adapters, but if I can get free software to fix the issue, that would be preferable.
So, long question short, for those running custom ROMs on Droid 4, what are you using for a car dock?
TIA
Droid 4 Rooted, Safestrap, triple boot: Stock 4.1.2, CM 10.2 RC, CM 11 Nightly (4.4.2)
Nexus 10 Unlocked, CWM, CM 11 M-1 (4.4.2)
Nexus 7 (2012) Stock 4.4 (kids' tablet)
I too am running into the same problem you are. I have two vehicles setup with cradles I just drop my phone in and play pandora , no hooking into the headphone jack. It sucks none of the kitkat roms or jellybean mods with the exception of myfishbear's eclipse rom can support the dock. I have been running this rom for about the last year and it recognizes when you dock the phone. I have been doing a lot of experiments with copying files such as carhome.apk or carhomegoogle.apk. It seems the APK launches the car cradle program , but there is some other file either a library or another file that detects the dock. I removed all the carcradle apks and dock apks in the eclipse rom to see if it would kill the ability to detect the dock, but when i plug it into the dock it orients the screen to landscape and the audio still plays through USB like it is supposed to. I really would like to transition to 4.4.2 but until someone can figure out the dock situation I am going to be keeping eclipse for a while.

I haven't heard of that ROM, it's JB? How does it compare to CM?

I played around with this too, but didn't really get anywhere. Unless I was reading old news, I think that the carhomegoogle was recently put up on the play store but doesn't support any devices? With all the new google apps hitting the play store, it looks to me like google is trying to fight fragmentation by pulling some system apps out of the OS and make them able to update independently... Maybe carhomegoogle being on the play store hints at an upcoming update? At least that's what I'm hoping for...
Just to close this out and update where I ended up with this. After playing around with ROMs on my manta and maserati and learning some more, I've got it worked out pretty comfortably. Once the power cord portion of the proprietary cable gave up the fight, I broke down and bought a Bluetooth to aux adapter and I can still charge in the dock with a standard cord. I'm not using a car home app at all anymore. Instead I've setup the first home screen to the right as a car home with dialer and hangouts in the (other) dock. I'm finding Waze fun so I just launch from my homescreen. I use the stock clock/weather and the Pandora widget. That really fills all my needs driving. Now my totally custom car home is just a flick away.
As far as rotation... I found two apps on the play store, Ultimate Rotation Control and Rotation Locker with some help from G+ communities. UCR lets me switch between auto and forced auto manually with a widget or in the notification shade. Rotation Locker can force rotation and has a plug in for tasker. I'm close to where I want to be, but I really want global auto and forced rotation automatically triggered when my phone is docked. I don't have the time to invest in learning tasker right now. But I plan on using the Bluetooth and charging triggers to change the setting in these apps or maybe I can find something in frameworks? Either way, I gotta be strict with my time, I'm getting a little obsessed here. If I do figure that out I'll edit this post.
Anyway, maybe that will help somebody some day.

I'm sorry to hear there isn't really a good option for continuing to use my car dock's usb audio feature in any of the ROMs I want to use... Hopefully one day :-/
Going to take a quick look at myfishbear's eclipse rom but I'm not going to expect much :-/
