kSo now im confused can i get tv out?
As far as I remember (I use CM7, not stock) you have to enable TV Out in Settings->Display (or somewhere in Settings )

CM7 doesnt support tv out. only stock rom or custome rom support tv out. just try randomly like this :
y-y
r-r
w-w
try:
y-r

w-w
or:

TV-out has always worked for me on stock/custom ROMs. I use the Nokia 3.5mm to RCA cable from my N85.
Make sure TV-out isn't on, if it is turn it off and reboot. Turn it on after reboot and plug it in to the TV.
This method always works for me. It's also a good idea to turn screen brightness down to the lowest setting to preserve the battery.
So, i have been reading thread after thread...AFTER thread on here and tabletroms.. and a few other choice places.. I just got my Streak 7. I have learned to root it, CMW, NVFLASH, etc.. i'm good on all these accounts.
i updated my streak (t-mobile 4g) to newest dell rom and liked it.. it fixed the dock speaker issue (no sound out of speakers when docked.) i rooted it but realized the kernel wouldn't allow overclocking (which i want to do for my tablet purpose)
So i switched over to Honeystreak r8 which is working perfect.. EXCEPT the dock issue is back.. docking the tablet (official v.2 dock) regardless of what you choose, shuts off internal speakers. So.. what am asking here is..Is there a rom that allows OCing.. and sound out of speakers while docked? Where can i find just a kernel i can flash with CWM on stock rom that allows overclocking (honeycomb)
second question, build.prop. i have looked EVERYWHERE and no one has mentioned this.. The marketplace (play) is not complete. Many apps are "not allowed" on this tablet. I know the "fix" of editing your build.prop with a proper/different product and fingerprint but whats a good one? I would like to install Hulu and a few other things WITHOUT sideloading. I can;t be the first person to ask this.. but i have searched all forms of combo words to get an answer and have not found one.
Last question. I read that the offical dock supports USB Host, i guess through the USB plug on the back... yet official rom does not support this.. (right?) So.. How do i plug a hub into it (it's a female Mini-USB NOT Micro) and also WHAT rom/kernel/whatever supports it..
Thank you..
The dock issue was fixed with stock rom 514, and HS R8 is based off of 507.
You would need to use 514 to get the fix, it might be possible to hack those two together and get both, but it hasnt been done yet. Also DJ_steve has no plans on HS as he's been working on ICS.
If you're unsure about rom versions, see Dell Streak 7 Official roms - xda wiki and
Dell Update process for an explaniation on the version strings.
Depends on the app, best thing to do is find out why it's not compatable in the first place. Some apps (like hulu i think?, or was it netflix?) use whitelists, which means only those devices can use it.
You could use a popular device like the transformer or xoom, or a similar device like the Gtab 7 which has similar specs (sorta).
The stock kernel doesnt support much in the way of usb-hosting. The HS kernel might, but also I believe you must provide power yourself, the port doesnt offer much power at all or so I hear. I'll have to get back to you on that in a few weeks.
How bout a kernel.. is there a place or is there a download of just an OCed/ OC capable kernel for the stock-rooted rom? That would solve one of my major dock issues. But i bought this device to make it a nice little portable arcade/emulator box and everything is great but i need to OC the thing to make some emulators really run nice. and i use the dock to.. well.. hold it up and charge it.
Also, do you know where i can find galaxy tab 7 build.prop examples?
There's no other kernels besides the HS one, (if you dont count the ICS one).
You cant just install it over 514, HS is partitioned differently.
Dear All,
I have just flashed to the most update nightly version of cyanogenmod 10.1 for P880, everything seems working fine except for MHL output. It output to my TV with only 720p + weird rotation.. ie even the screen of my P880 is landscape, it display portrait on my TV.
On the stock ROM it won't being that and there was an option to adjust the default output resolution. Is there any way to adjust it on Cyanogenmod??? Please help. Thank you.

The only MHL functionality currently working in CM 10.1 is direct mirroring. This means that it will directly mirror the display on your device as it would look holding it straight up. To add to the fun, the default is to keep your display rotated at 90 degrees when HML is connected, although it is possible to fix this to 0 degrees instead.
Since the 4x screen only supports 720p resolution that implies that you won't get a higher resolution on your TV either using this mirroring functionality.
I have already been trying for weeks now to do something about this, but it's a royal pain. The problem is that the hdmi mirroring seems to be completely handled inside the nvidia tegra proprietary drivers, which are closed source. This means that the easiest solution, which would be to edit these drivers, is not an option. Moreover, it makes it more difficult to establish exactly how the interaction between the android system and these drivers occurs.
LG clearly found a way to make it work though, which I suspect involved adding better multiple screens support to android. That would indeed open up the possibility to change the output resolution, as the tegra chip seems to support higher resolution. I have not given up on the problem yet, so perhaps I'll get lucky in the future and get things working.

Thanks for your detail reply, I have just found that they said about the Nivdia proprietary driver issue. ie. The resolution is almost impossible to fix.
On the stock rom, LG did a very great job on this, even the P880 has only 720P, but they can upscale(or stretch) it to 1080p and rotate it correctly over MHL.
But what do you mean we can fix it by set it to 0 degree?? (I have try the auto rotation and limit it to single orientation, but it does not work) So, how can I do it? Honestly, I really don't care if it is 1080p or not, coz' what I think it is just upscale(or stretch), I can also do it on my TV set too. The problem is the orientation. Anyways, 1000 x thanks on your reply.
Mike
I am interested in this MHL problem too
But I noticed that when the device is booting up with MHL adapter in place of course the "cyanogen"(bootscreen) is normal on my TV but later when the rom is fully booted that weird rotation takes place
So I thank that this is CM 10.1 problem, and I dont know how to solve it

I said you can fix the rotation to 0 instead of 90, but that does not fix the problem. You can do this by adding a line 'persist.demo.hdmirotation=portrait' to your build.prop. I do not find it too useful though, as most things you'd want to display externally work better in landscape mode.

After the boot sequence the window managers kick in and decide you should be stuck on landscape mode while connected via MHL. You can change that part quite easily. The real challenge is making the MHL output rotate independently and use the entire screen.

Please tell me how to chance to full landscape instead of portrait mode?!
I'm running CM10.1 "cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-jewel-M2" on my HTC EVO 4G LTE (Jewel). MHL/HDMI doesn't work at all for me. Very disappointing.
Even getting GPS to work was a hassle. Hope they get the kinks worked out in the next milestone update; would love to be able to hook my phone up to my TV again. Very convenient.

Yes, that's a shame, but it is primarily a vendor problem, as writing proper support is near-impossible when the APIs for the video drivers are kept secret. I also fail to see what your problems with the HTC EVO have to do with the 4X HD, apart from the fact that they both appear to be supported by the CM crew.
Can somebody help me with the tutorial on how to enable mhl on CM10.1.

Sure.
1) Take your separately bought HML adapter.
2) Plug the power cable into the adapter.
3) Plug the adapter into your phone.
4) Plug a HDMI cable into the other end of the adapter.
5) Plug the HDMI cable into your TV.
6) Set your TV to the correct HDMI output channel if necessary.
Optionally,
7) Discover that HML with CM 10.1 does not work the way you want, since the image on the TV is rotated.
You're welcome.

Hi Wenque
You seem to know stuff about this problem.
I too have an P880 running CM10.1 and I recently bought a new stereo for my car, where I can connect my phone using MHL. And I obviously have the same problem.
Do you know if someone at CM are working on a solution or something? I know you wrote it's hard to fix, but it would be nice with some information on, whether there is hope for a solution or not.
Thanks
Any news from this subject?
Try to add this line to build.prop:
persist.demo.hdmirotation=portrait

I already tried this. But when I start a game it doesn't follow screen rotation. I think I'll have to flash stock to test it.

Are there any news in this matter?
I'm using another ROM on my phone at the moment, but it's only Android 4.1, to get MHL working.
I would very much like to switch back to CM when, if ever, they have MHL working.

Well, not a big news.. but CM10.2 works in portrait mode on 720p but not landscape mode. (ie everything is portrait with 2 black box on both side)

Apparently not.
Well for me it doesn't really matter anymore, I'll just stick to Android 4.1 until the LG G2 is available here in Denmark, and then I'll probalby buy it.
Unless the next Nexus device is announced in the meantime, and it's worth waiting for.

Hi Wenque, I have googled around and found the parameter "config_undockedHdmiRotation" on "platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/res/res/values/config.xml". Maybe setting it to 270 would solve the issue?
Wondering if it's possible to set the resolution of the device to 1280x720 instead of 720x1280 on kernel can solve the hdmi output problem too..

Dear all,
First of all, great forum! Reading other people's posts helped me a lot to fix multiple problems.
Although I am not a big fan of starting threads myself, I am really stuck with this one. Long story short, I bought a generic no-name bluetooth keyboard for light gaming purposes while traveling.
The keyboard worked perfectly well straight from the box with my work MacBook Pro, with colleague's iPhone and with my Ubuntu netbook. Unfortunately, my Samsung Galaxy Mini didn't even "see" the device. My phone was running Gingerbread at that time (frankly, I was fine with it). Since I really wanted the keyboard to work, I decided to try out some roms. I have tried:
Cyanogenmod 7
CM 9
CM 10.1
CM 10.2
On each one of them, the phone would "see" the keyboard and pair with it, showing "connected to hid device" message, but it wouldn't actually allow me to type anything (suggesting that either the connection was immediately lost or these two devices are incompatible). I tried googling this problem and didn't find anything involving Samsung Galaxy Mini working with a bluetooth hid device. I've only found posts like this:
I recently bought a mini bluetooth keyboard that I have paired with my phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini) with no problems but I have no idea how to get the two to connect so I can use the keyboard. The keyboard works fine with my iPad, PS3, and macbook pro, just not my phone.

Such posts would typically not get any good replies. So, essentially, my question is whether there is any hope of making these two devices work. Or should I just stop trying?
Hope that somebody could help me.
Thanks for reading
Hey!
This is my first thread I've ever created, so don't be too harsh on me
As far as I know, the new Android 10 includes a so called "desktop mode". So you can connect a compatible device via USB to an external screen. I think thats pretty cool and samsung already implemented this idea from the S8 upwards with Samsung Dex.
I understand that this needs USB 3.1, but the Motorola G7 Plus only has USB 2.0!
According to the datasheet of the build-in Snapdragon 636 processor, it does support USB 3.1!
So here comes the question: Is it possible to "activate" the required functionality in order to use the desktop mode?
So like changing a few things inside the root files (Like you can activate for example OTG)?
If not, is the hardware build that way, that it just doesn't have the data-lines?
And also, if all of that doesn't work, you surely saw such USB 2.0 to HDMI adapter, which do work on older computers, but do they might work with Android 10 connected to otg?
It would be really cool if something of that might work.
Thanks for your response!

Thanks for your answer. But I knew that before. I am trying to finde some "workarounds" for this, because I do really like this phone!
Found a solution
So, after a bit of research, I found a solution to add external screens to any OTG compatible Android phone!
There are so called "DisplayLink adapters" and those seem to be compatible with any Android phone that supports OTG.
After installing the official app "DisplayLink Presenter", you should be able to get everything working.
I din't tested it yet, but I hope that this will help someone in the future.
