I'm currently on the "Collective" Rom... it doesn't have TouchWiz...
Recently, i tried out a MHL cable at a store. But when i plugged in... nothing happend..
so i guess what i'm asking is... do I need to change the Rom to get MHL to work?
I think MHL does not work on any of the non tw roms.

I don't think it will work without additional power source, at least mine won't. It should be connected either to usb port on the tv/monitor or to electric socket (using for example Galaxy Note charger).
MHL isn't available on all custom ROMs. For example, CM9 and derivatives won't have it.
ROMs Based on stock firmware should have it for the most part, but it might depend on what the chef cooks in or leaves out.

What are the brands that make compatible mhl adaptors for the 4X? Personally i would prefer it if there was a compatible mhl adaptor for dvi or even better, for displayport. Is there such a thing for the 4X?

Hi, I'm planning to buy an MHL adaptor, my question is that with CM10.1.2 ROM is there any issue, will that work? Or I have to revert to stock rom?

Mine which has CM10.1.2 freezes the second I plug the MHL cable and the only way to "unfreeze" is by hard rebooting it
Honestly... I dunno for other phones.. But P880 is not good on MHL... because it drain the battery really fast!! Even those MHL cable needed an extra USB port for supplying power. The battery goes down 10% about every 8 mins. I am only playing online video(youtube etc.) some games might drain more battery. I also tried to use a 2A power supply.. the result is still the same.. (I found our P880 will not take advantage on higher current supply, let me know if I am wrong on this. Maybe it is just the power supply lies on me)
OK.. for your questions.
CM does has an issue on rotation for P880. As I told before, CM said it is a problem of Nvidia drivers and they've announced it won't be be fix. CM10.2 is slightly better... but it still has problem because CM10.2 just lock everything in portrait mode on your output screen. If an apps need landscape mode. it will has rotation problem. Also, I still don't have a clue about how to make it displaying 1080p.
If you need really need MHL on P880.. stock rom is the only option.
For the cables that work, at the time I was buying a MHL cable, I asked the store about it. They said any MHL has USB power should work. The one I buy said it is for Galaxy S2 and some LG model on the box and it works like a charm. Running games and playing video smoothly on 720p or 1080p.
Hope it helps and Thanks

Did your MHL cable work for the M8?
I have a cheap one I got for my Samsung s3, and it has an adapter that goes between the phone and the cable and if I don't use that adapter it works fine. I think the Samsung interface has a switched wire that's why it needs it. So not all cables are the same but if the universal one had a removable adapter it will probably work.

How did you guys got it to work? I bought two different MHL 5pin adapters and none worked. The MHL symbol does appear on the phone but there is no image on the TV. I dont undestand and I am getting desperate, does someone has any tips?
Cheers
A "cheap" MHL cable will probably be MHL 1.0, which won't support 1080p (1080i @ 30Hz max rather than the 1080p @ 60Hz that MHL 2.0 supports)
Most MHL cables are also designed for use with recent Samsung devices, which use a proprietary MHL implementation, which is NOT compatible with non-Samsung devices.
The MHL "standard" is almost totally useless, mostly thanks to Samsung creating this confusion, plus the fact that almost no-one ever categorically states what version of the format (1.0, 2.0 and now 3.0) their devices are.
The new Sony devices support MHL 3.0, if they use a standard implementation then their adapters might be the way to go, assuming they eventually turn up and don't cost an arm and a leg.
Anyone with T-Mobile firmware can please confirm if MHL works?
I have been scouring the web & even overseas manufacturers looking for anyone that can provide a MHL 3.0 Adapter. Has anyone seen one on the market yet? Some of the overseas sites are poorly worded, MHL 3.0 USB, but upon further investigation, all have been MHL 2.0 with support for USB 3.0.
If anyone has a source for these, in either single unit or batch lots for resale, please let me know.

Only 3.0 is compatible with m8?
I have this one from monoprice, just have to find it and see if it will work with my M8.

NO> Any that aupprts the 5-pin should work fine. It is just that 2.0 & 3.0 don't need external power, if supported by the device, & 3.0 has greater speed & bandwidth capabilities. 4K video & 7.1 surround sound (L-PCM) support.

Except that one states in big red letter that external power is REQUIRED. WHich would make it MHL 1.0. It also states 1080p, again MHL 3.0 supports 4k video. Most of the MHL 2.0 devices also support at least USB 3.0, that one supports USB 2.0, which again supports it being an MHL 1.0 device.
That's the thing, I have found a few that claim to be MHL 3, but none of them seem to pan out to actually be MHL 3.0. Most of the time when you contact to call them on it, or inquire, you get zero response. Ebay is pretty notorious for knock offs too, like the 128Gb & even 64Gb UH1 Micro SD cards.
So there is no mhl 3.0 5pin out there adapter yet.
Which 2.0 5 pin adapter should I be
buying for the HTC One m8?

Good question. I am researching that now. I find it hard to believe that a year old standard still isn't supported by accessory manufacturers, even though it is by the device manufacturers.
I'll let you know what ones I try & how it goes.

That's the same exact one I bought for my LG G2. I assumed the G2 supported MHL, but in fact it supported DisplayPort, so I had this laying around for a while, and it works just fine for the M8.

It might be a year old standard, but devices/phones supporting it are only just now being released. So, accessory manufacturers have had no reason to manufacture any adapters until now. Hopefully it won't be too long until we start seeing some now that there are some devices that can take advantage of it.

Thanks. That's the one I tried and didn't work but maybe it was defective. Did anyone bought that one also? Does it work on the HTC One m8?
For what its worth the one I bought I have to plug things in in a specific order or it won't work. I believe it is power, then HDMI, then MHL into M8. I have to do this each time, if I unplug it from the phone and just plug it back in it won't work until I unplug everything and reconnect in that order.
Nice, thanks for the tip

I finally received a different MHL adapter I bought but it still dosent work. I did what you said, first power, then HDMI and then MHL to the phone. The symbol of MHL beeing connected appears but there is onde more no image on the TV. I even tried connecting first power, then MHL and then HDMI but it´s the same thing. Can someone give me some tips, please? I am getting desperate
Did you ever get this figured out? I just used mhl for the first time on my m8. I used the same cable I did for my m7. It's a
Skiva 6.5 feet MHL (Micro USB) to male HDMI cable. I had trouble at first but here's how I got it to work flawlessly: first I plugged everything in, no particular order... Next I plugged in the micro usb part to my m8 while the tv input was still on my normal everyday input... I waited until my red charging light turned on my m8 then I switched to the correct tv input. My m8 went into mhl mode and I streamed a movie perfectly.
I tried switching the tv input first then plugging in my phone and it wouldn't work. But, when I left it on my normal input, then plugged my phone in and saw it was charging, then changed inputs.... Success!
Thanks, I will try if that works. But I've got little hopes, to be honest
Hi everyone,
I recently rooted and installed cm11 on a kindle fire hd (2012) and everything works fine except when the tab is plugged into the charger.
I'm currently using a samsung tab charger since I don't have the original charger for the kindle. I just would like to know if anyone else also experiencing the same issue or is there already a fix for this? I have tried reflashing but its still the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ghost touches are a common hardware issue for the Fire while charging. It's not a ROM problem

It can happen. It could happen with all kinds of different roms but ghost touches were more frequent in CM11 based roms from my experience. You should try looking for another charger, perhaps not the nameless made-in-China kind, perhaps something that lets less voltage will reduce your problems. I never have issues when my Kindle's charging from my PC since it's a low power output compared to plugs, and an old blackberry charger is pretty good too. Hope that helps :/
