The reason I want to do this is to do what the droid incredible does with tv out through a composite video cable so I can then hook that composite video cable up to my Pioneer AVIC Z3 navigation system and watch my Sling Player on my nav from mirroring through the droid desktop.
So far the only video out is through the hdmi and that only does You Tube and your own loaded videos. I want the mirror apks of the droid incredible, the usb micro video out in analog and then I already ordered the micro cable (Even though it will be a waste maybe.)
So is changing the video out even possible from HDMI to Micro USB?
Can i make the evo into a droid incredible? Without bricking it?
I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT HDMI OUT Since I will never use it.
Any help with this gets you a $300.00 bounty from me through Paypal.

evo isn't pinned for usb out, if it is then the drivers won't be there.
how about just getting a HDMI to composite adapter?
http://www.hdtvsupply.com/hdtocoad.html
if you dont find one you like there just google around for some more. btw the micro hdmi cable is about $5 on amazon shipped.
as far as hdmi out only working with youtube and preloaded videos, that wont last much longer since the kernel is out now.
if this is what you need and choose to throw that bounty my way ill be redistributing all of it to actual devs here on xda.
Dave,
I've changed the requirements, I simply want screen capture, all apps ported out through the hdmi, slingbox to work and project it through the hdmi, I heard its just simple code telling our EVO to send all apps and desktop and video through the hdmi port.
After someone develops this app, ill buy an hdmi down scaler to composite video so I can watch slingbox on my car nag system.

HDMI output support
Is this what we're all looking for?
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dhtsnvs6_57d2hpqtgr#4_HDMI_output_support_82321908
4. HDMI output support
This device supports HDMI output of video content via a cable. Common use of this could be to connect to a TV or a video projector to show a video clip.
The output of the video is tied to the user connecting the HDMI cable to the handset and to a HDMI player such as a TV, once the two have recognized each other, applications attempting to play video will not see the video on the device screen but it will be sent over the HDMI cable. While this is fairly plug-n-play, there are some things to consider for your application design.
4.1 Blocking HDMI output
We realize there may be some applications which do not want their video content played out over HDMI, this may be for many reasons including, usage rights associated with video or control over user experience. If you wish to restrict a user from using HDMI out with your application you can add the following permission to your manifest.

Hello,
I'd like to connect my EVO to my desktop LCD monitor to watch video on bigger screen. Has anyone tried it yet? Anyone know of a micro HDMI (type D) to DVI cable or an adapter? thanks.

you might be able to make your own... just get an DVI to HDMI cable and splice on a type D end to it, not sure if it will go backwards though...
thanks, but I am interested in making sure I am going about the right way. I want make sure all the HDMI 1.4 features are supported in this solution and its fully compatible. Has anyone tried it yet?
Not really sure what HDMI 1.4 features you expect to get when your end connector is a DVI port. If you cant find a cable that goes from the Evo to DVI then you should be able to just go to HDMI then use an adapter to go to DVI. I used have my computer hooked up to my Home Theater via a DVI <> HDMI cable. Worked great, Full HD and all.
thanks. I read there a bunch of new features in hdmi 1.4 and wanted to make sure I go with an optimal option. Seems like an hdmi cable and a DVI adapter is the way to go. This way I can connect to hdtv and lcd monitor.
Yes, its true that HDMI 1.4 is great and has a lot of new things, including 3D support. But keep in mind, this is a phone. It doesn't even output 1080p video, so you'll be fine with the adapter.
Yeah, it can only to 720p output to a monitor/TV.
Something else to consider, HDMI integrates video and audio over 1 connection. If you use a DVI converter, you will lose the audio. I don't know if the EVO will allow you to output the audio out via the headphone jack at the same time or not, but I very much doubt it. So in other words, by converting the signal, you're going to lose all the audio and kinda makes it useless.
hmm.. well that sucks. any ideas on how to get around this problem?

Sure, you can get an HDMI to DVI With Audio converter..but then again, you might as well buy a new monitor with DVI inputs for the price..

Hey all,
Not sure if this is possible but I want to somehow have audio out through the MHL/micro usb port of my s2. Reason being that it would be much nicer in the car to have 1 cord for charging and music rather than one cord for each.
Does the MHL port support this or could there possibly be an accessory to change the HDMI out feature to audio-only aux?
thanks!
also wondering about this for my AV receiver
i went ahead and ordered the HDMI MHL cable to test Spotify through my AV Receiver.
Since the HDMI audio is digital data I wouldn't bother researching down this lane.
But there certainly are docking stations that charge the SGS2 and offer a 3.5mm line-out at the same time, so it must be possible.
Pinout anyone?

Don't understand what you mean here?
If you'd like to use the HDMI audio you would have to add a digital-analog-converter in order to feed your car stereo the analog line audio it needs. Plus I don't think the connector will allow charging while in HDMI mode.
So maybe it's best to put that port on the SGS2 into Home Dock or Car Dock mode. You might get some further help wit the pinout in this thread.

I think you're getting me confused with the original poster. My question was in regards to outputting just audio (Spotify) through my Onkyo AV receiver. There shouldn't be any issue with this, right? I've only seen the MHL-HDMI cable used on a TV directly, and not through a receiver.
Also, would it be possible to plug the SGS2 with the MHL-HDMI cable directly into the HDMI 1.4 input on the back of the TV, and use the ARC feature (Audio Return Channel) to feed either 2.1 or 5.1 audio back through the HDMI cable linking the TV and receiver to the surround sound speakers?
Wait, if HDMI out audio is digital out, can we play around to get a clean digital out signal that would play nice with portable external DACs?
Sounds impossible but who knows?

That's exactly what happened, my bad.
Unfortunately I haven't got the HDMI cable for the SGS2 yet but for the ARC feature I'd say it depends on your TV. Maybe you can try feeding an existing HDMI source to it and verify that a HDMI-in on the TV can be routed via ARC to your AVR.

Yes, supposedly my TV can do that with the Freeview HD tuner audio, but I'm waiting for my antenna to put that to the test.
Solution: HD Fury II or HD Fury III. They have 2 channel analog output from HDMI input.
To clear up some things about MHL:
First of all MHL is not HDMI. By default, your phone needs to support MHL and your TV/Receiver/whatever also needs to be able to receive MHL signals.
There is no fixed connector type for MHL (the plug can either be proprietary or a readily available one such as USB or HDMI). Phones have MHL hardware connected to their USB ports. Upcoming TVs will have additional MHL hardware connected to their existing HDMI inputs.
You cannot use an ordinary USB<->HDMI type MHL cable to connect your phone to any HDTV. It will not work. You need an active cable that receives a MHL signal from the USB side, internally decodes it and reencodes it as HDMI, and then outputs it via the HDMI side of the cable to any HDMI device. That's why the cables are expensive.
The good news pertaining to this thread:
The active MHL cables we've seen so far are very small and compact. Basically the only thing you need is an MHL decoder which has an audio line out. There is no need for a HDMI DAC.
I can confirm that the Samsung MHL-HDMI cable for the SGS2 outputs both video and just audio beautifully to my home theatre receiver.
MHL to VGA is an option
Please excuse the necroposting. For future people who run across this thread when searching for MHL Audio products.
I discovered these products after some searching around:
http://vgaadapter.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/ikross-mhl-micro-usb-to-vga-display-and.html
http://www.ecvv.com/product/2822782.html
I'm not sure of the quality of the audio DAC but its an option.
But so is the Samsung Desktop dock or the car dock for charging and playing music at the same time through one plug.
i can't believe, but ac adaptor charger and p2-p2 or p2-rca cable work like a charm here
So I don't have an hdtv (*gasp*) and I'd like to connect my SIII via cradle to the TV for streaming netflix. Whats the best option for me? I can s-vid or standard composite into the tv but no hdmi/hdtv.
I did a bit of googling and it doesn't look like converting from an hdtv cable to either s-vid or composite is all that convenient.
Are there any options for me?
I'd like to be charging while connected to the tv as well so if there's a cradle that'll work for that, that'd be sweet.
Thanks for the info!
Converting Digital to Analog is possible but expensive for units that do it right.
You're better off looking into a new TV purchase for the cost and headache of the converters. You can get a outstanding 37" Tv for under $400 these days, that cheaper than the cost of your phone off contract. Heck I got my parents a 55" for $700 just this winter.
do i have to convert? meaning do i have to run a micro-usb to hdmi and then convert from there? is it not possible to pull non-digital audio and vid from the phone via the same micro-usb port but in analog format from the get-go?
I have used my DInc to transmit video to my in-car entertainment system so my kid could watch shows on NetFlix during our hour drives in the morning and evening. I just got the SIII and would like to do the same. It seems like no one makes a small 12V screen that has HDMI, they all have composite video so upgrading the screen in my SUV won't work.
I figured I have 4 options;
1. Buy the MHL to HDMI adapter and a HDMI to Composite video adapter and cross my fingers and hope it works
2. Get something like the AllShare Cast Dongle but convert it to Composite or hope they make a version that has composite out
3. Buy another device like a cheap tablet and hand that to him sharing my data over wifi or hook up a roku to the existing screens
4. Setup my old phone as a WiFi only device to continue streaming the same as I have been but sharing my data
Since I heard the MHL to HDMI adapters are touchy about what they hook up to and the AllShare dongle is not yet on the market, I have purchased a $100 tablet of DX.com. Figured adapters were going to cost me at least $80, why not spend $20 more and have a tablet he can also play games and read books on. Plus his LeapPad I bought last year was $100 and it sucks. I have not hooked that up yet but I did tether my Galaxy Tab 10.1 today and it worked pretty well.
I don't think my solution will work for you but if your end game is streaming netflix or hulu, you might consider getting a Roku for $50-$100(depending on model), root your phone and tether the data. If you are doing something a Roku doesn't, then you will need to buy a HDMI to Composite adapter because everything right now seems to only have HDMI out, even the AllShare Dongle
I have an acer aspire 7560, it does have an hdmi port, but I don't want to have to buy an adapter for something that I don't know would even work for video input. I want to know: is there some way that I can use a normal, oem supplied, usb cable for this and simply connect it to the computer, figure out some stuff on the ubuntu end, and just use my laptop as an external display?

Short answer: no
Explanation: your HDMI port is solely for outbound connections only, to a TV or monitor. There are very few laptops that have the ability to receive an HDMI input.
As for doing it with USB there are third party apps like BBQDroid and MirrorOp that will let you, but its nearly impractical for the Nexus. Trust me, I've been trying for over a year to get even the right ROM/kernel combo to maintain a reasonable lagfree experience using them and its hopeless. We don't have the power. Sure, you can do it. But don't expect to do anything without huge performance drops.
I have a new tv that supports hdmi, but it also has usb 2.0 in, and I do not have a hdmi mhl adapter. Would a normal oem cable work for that?

Nope. USB port on your TV is for connecting media devices with music/videos/pictures and does not support the feature your looking for.
I have had success using the Mirror for CM11 application by koush with Airserver on my PC. Info to get it here. You must join the community and beta before it shows up in Play Store.
It works over WiFi network so long as your PC has AirServer, which is an Apple app supposed to be for idevices but the app picks it up anyway. The free version of Airserver is only 7 day trial. It will slow your phone down somewhat, but not anywhere near as bad as other apps. I've used it some, and it works well. But it has limited use with only a trial for Airserver. Such a bummer there, but give it a shot for the 7 days and support it and koush if you it
Good luck
Any recommendations on a good USB-C to HDMI Cable? With Desktop Mode finally being an option in Q, I'm hoping to test it out when Q is officially released and we see some apps support it. Preferably with availability in the States.
Amazon basic have better option for this USB-C to HDMI, I'm using that work perfectly

Hi,
Does it work as HDMI + USB or only HDMI?
Is anyone able to screen mirror Netflix,YouTube TV, Hulu or Amazon prime with the cable? I have a cable and it mirrors everything except those apps when I'm playing video.

I don't want to maybe start a new thread so I thought here - does anyone charge their oneplus 7 pro type c from their laptop/pc to type c on their phone? my ultrabook doesn't quite have enough ports for usbs. so I wanna take away my phone on a usb and use a type c port instead to charge it.
I see some type c cables are 3.1 or something. for charging do I need the expensive cables?

You guys won't be able to mirror those apps unless you've rooted your phone and found a way to patch the application to make it think there is no secondary display connected. The reason you're getting nothing from these apps is they detect the presence of a secondary display, and since the phone cannot comply with HDCP over the adapter cable (not supported), it will not display correctly (black screen where the picture should be or no display at all). I've had a phone in the past with a miniHDMI port and I've used a proper mini-to-full HDMI cable without issue to watch Netflix, but that was a straight HDMI connection with HDCP. Netflix and them take anti-piracy seriously, yo!
