HDMI Enabled HBO GO

HBOTroll1 · Oct 18, 2012

So I recently got HBO and was disappointed to see that the HBO GO app didn't support HDMI out. I thought this strange since I had never seen anything else that didn't support HDMI out, so you would think HBO would be able to figure it out if everyone else did. I looked around to see if there was an update or patch or something to fix it, but wasn't able to find anything. I'm not a programmer or anything but I figured why not take a shot at it myself. So I read a few tutorials and here's what I came up with. httpsCOLON//wwwDOTdropboxDOTcom/s/zlyfr07gg5p58p2/com.HDMI-HBO-1.apk. I have a Droid 4, so I know it works on Motorola phones. I think it should work on all other phones too, but I only have the one phone so it hasn't been tested on any others. If it doesn't work on your phone, let me know and I'll see if I can fix it. Also, you might have to be rooted, I'm not really sure. You're welcome, HBO. I fixed your program.

P.S. I don't have Cinemax, but the app was nearly identical, so I did that one too. httpsCOLON//wwwDOTdropboxDOTcom/s/g04dsiia81w035o/com.HDMI-MAXGo-1.apk. Let me know if it works.

Update:
Here are the updated HBO and Cinemax apps. Also by request, NFL Mobile. The MAX Go app, I believe, still does not support tablets.

It should work on tablets too, but I don't have one to test it on, so give it a try and let me know.

Yea, BTN for phones isn't blocked either. Have you tried the Max2Go app yet? if so does it seem to work ok?
Feel free to post the links wherever you'd like. And if you would like to know what I modded, just send me a pm. I'll be happy to share.

Update hbogo and maxgo work flawlessly on my droid 4 and my android mini pc is setup like a tablet the hbo app automatically senses this and changes the look for easier navigation since i lack a "menu" button. The maxgo app look like its phone only and would not work, i have heard of a tablet version of maxgo maybe through amazon? Anyway if you could apply your mod to the tablet version of maxgo then you will have successfully done what soooo many havent been able to do or havent publicly released. As it stands with a phone hbogo and maxgo work perfect hdmi out enabled, hbogo for tablet mini pc is perfect hdmi out as well. All that remains is making maxgo available for tablet/mini pc. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar let me be the first to thank you for this

SGS is using MHL? what messages are you getting?

HBOTroll1 · Oct 22, 2012

I'm also wondering if you just got the normal popup that says HDMI is not supported or something else. Also, am I correct in assuming that SGS is Samsung Galaxy? I'm fairly confident that I can get it to work, but as I mentioned, I don't have a Samsung phone to test it on so I would need a little feedback and maybe someone to test a few things for me.

Thanks works great on my Ace A100 tablet!

Your welcome, I'm glad it's working. I am curious to know if it's not working for anyone, particularly on Samsung phones.

rayjr13 · Oct 29, 2012

are you considering doing the updated apps or is this latest version?

They work beautifully on my rooted stock TMO galaxy s II ... :good:

I just posted it works!

Niggiebro · Oct 30, 2012

Are you planning on Modding updates as they come out, because I just got updated on both apps to version 1.8 on HBO Go and 1.8.1 on Max Go?

rayjr13 · Oct 30, 2012

I just asked the same question. I would tend to believe the update is to fix the fix applied in this threads apks.

I say if it works flawless for you don't allow auto updates and stay on this one. ain't broke don't fix it. who needs closed captions anyway

HBOTroll1 · Oct 31, 2012

I believe these are the most recent versions. They show as versions 1.8 for HBO and 1.8.1 for Max on my phone. Let me know if you're seeing something different.
