MHL Support - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, officially the S5 mini has no MHL support. My question is if there are any kernel options when compiling to enable such support? Any way this is a software issue easily corrected like the OTG-support?

Always

There is indeed an option for it and the kernel compiles successfully, but the whole driver was marked as "experimental" which is likely why it never made it into the final builds. I have no MHL cables to debug with either but I'll see if I can get hold of one. That or Samsung might complete the code when stock Lollipop comes out(If that ever even happens)

Always huh.. well there is always the possibility of a relevant IC missing or something.
CurtisMJ I would be thrilled to test it on my 800F using two different brands of MHL cables if you have a kernel I can flash with OTG also enabled.
Also what is the difference between physical hdmi interface and mhl interface? I saw both drivers are options.

Attached is a build of my custom kernel with MHL enabled(I prefer Rashr for flashing). Confirmed bootable. I've enabled all the debugging options for the MHL drivers in the meantime. Not sure about the difference between physical HDMI and the MHL driver. I can only assume one is a virtual device only there for providing protocol support(At least that's usually how it works).
Proceed with caution

Confirmed not working with old style 5-pin mhl adapter. No surprise there. Will try to buy 11 pin tomorrow.

OTG might need to be toggled via the SysFS switch, but yeah, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

OTG-support for G800F confirmed with kernel from the android development forum.

Did Any developer realize a working mhl kernel?

I flashed the kernel attached. After that it says "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and Device don't boot anymore.
Flashing the stock kernel solves the problem.
So I can't use mhl.
I tried also Tu use a kernel with enabled otg, otg works, mhl doesn't.
Thanks

Doesn't seem like unfortunately. I don't have the device anymore but remember that I never really got it working when I had it so I won't be much help.

[Q] [KERNEL] Re-routed headset connector for iphone compatibility

Hello!
Once i found a thread for this subject, if i remember well supercurio made a kernel for this.
I know Search, and Google, but cant find the thread.
Could anyone share a link for this. Or some docs.
I would like to made it with some newer kernel
Thanks
There was no such kernel, it is still not known if re-routing the Jack through software is possible.

The connector poles are on a bus maybe I2C or something else, so if we exchange the address of the gnd and mic in the source, it would working.
Because it is not hardsoldered on any chips output, (that case we could not disable or enable it in FMradio ex...), it is managed via some software (kernel), maybe need to figure out how

you see that HDMI cable EPL-3PHP is compatible with p1000 .
and EPL-1PLR usb host too.
official Samsung
HDMI compatbility
It also says that is compatible with the P1010, does it means that could work for such a device connected trough the HDMI dock? This could be an actual good news from Samsung, who doesn't use to give much of these ones!

Yes, I've seen this but I fear the German Samsung site seems to be misleading in this regard, there are at least good reasons the USB Connection Kit is not compatible with our tab.
I'll try to contact them (EDIT: Done, now waiting for an answer) and will report here...

Any updates on this? Intrigued by this, but I am very sceptical and think this is just an error by the German site.
fact
ECR-D980 Dock has a hdmi out , so why should the epl-3php not be compatible ?
anyway we someone that tested b4.

usb on the go !

i was going through the source code of the kernel for our device and found out dat it had usb on the go drivers. so its evident dat there has to b usb on the go for dis device . did anyone try dis feature ?
For all I know it could have been already implemented in the phone. Problem lies with the cable being unusual, USB Mini to Female port, Then male port to HDD. That's quite the combination.
Hmmm true that! But that's good news! Now to go cable hunting!
OT: Did you happen to come across any TV-OUT drivers as well? The cable for that would be a Video RCA to 1/8" TRRS I suppose? Because if it's mini-HDMI then there's no chance. Or maybe it could be wireless...
Ron managed to find a code that Skin or possibly dev's could work on to enable TV Output, LCD-HDTV and vice versa,

yes .. we can enable tv out via aux cable i.e 3.5 mm pin to video out cable . i guess no mini usb to hdmi out. jst we need to port the new kernel wid tv out in enabled mode dats it . we have everyhting else

yes if they had figured out how to oc the kernel den enabling tv out is very easy !
the source code of the kernel is very neatly organised and we can figure out wat is wat ! its js changing the digit next to tv-out wid "1" in the kernel !

Suh-WEET!
Oh yeah... forgot about mini-USB to HDMI! The ever versatile USB ports eh? That would be killer!
Is it really that easy ! Wonder why they don't do it in the first pace eh? Probably to upmark the price for the next phone with that capability.

take a luk at dis http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/Kernel_TV-Out
everything in the kernel is written in c language . everything has a value to it .. currently the tv out is in "0" mode. and we need to enable it !
Apparently dev punkgeek managed to turn on USB host on Galaxy Tab and when I asked him about our beloved i9000 he said that they are based on the same processor and it's actually pretty doable! Now we need someone who could somehow port it over http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233072&page=3

USB OTG support for USB Data Dongles

Has anyone tried to connect usb data dongles on their Samsung tab 8.9? Im interested in finding out whether my Huawei E1550 will be able to connect to net while on the move. My tab will arrive this week.
I didn't test it. I have a ZTE Stick. I see that there is something for the asus prime, but they only support Huawei sticks maybe your huawei will supported.

How did you get it to work? Im tried with overcome rom but cudnt get it to work.. Your help is much appreciated..
Hi,
I've never used OTG on the tablet but I've read it can read FAT32 dongles. For NTFS support you should run some scripts may be.
I would also like the tablet to read from an external 2.5 (no power supply) NTFS hard drive but as far as I'm concerned I think it cannot be done yet.
Hope it brins some light.
Great forum BTW

I have tested flash disk drives on honeycomb based oversome and its working perfectly. What im interested is to find out how i can get my huawei e1550 3G dongle to work. It gets detected but i cant seem to find the settings to enable the apn. Any ideas?
as I have a 8.9 aswell, and looking for a working 3g dongle... the only thing I found out that there are modules for a500 I belive, just gotta look into those and see what changes need to be made. in theory it shoud work, but I have no idea if it does.
seems like the most compatible dongle is huawei e1550...
