Indeed. It definitely works, and to be sure I just watched a YouTube video, fullscreen, on my TV. It took a bit to establish a connection, going through some "unknown format" phases, but it connected allright and was perfectly stable and smooth.

Has anybody tested it on Malladus? From what I understand, that's based on the LG stock rom.

I have mentioned that in the G Pad Accessories Forum
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2569809&page=2

I bought one in Hong Kong !
It's NOT an Adapter, it's a direct micro USB to HDMI male plug Cable !!! with optional micro usb plug for charging !!!

HKD - $200 = around USD $25 - 26

Well... I don't want to setup my HTC One and shoot video of my LG G Pad and my 27" Dell Monitor.

What I did is, just plug in the HDMI and micro USB, and it works, it do take around 2 seconds to display the G Pad content on the Monitor.
But it run smoothly afterwards. with sound output from through HDMI also.

That's weird. You're saying that you're seeing direct HDMI out with a micro USB to HDMI cable? I didn't think that the G Pad was capable of that. What rom are you using?

Can you give us a picture of just the cable?

What the ???

I am just sharing my own experience, and you don't believe it ?

maybe I missed something, I am using a SLIMPORT to HDMI CABLE !!!! Male micro USB plug to Male HDMI Plug !!!

You don't believe that because you haven't seen this before ??

Do a simple search IN GOOGLE !! Search PICTURE or PHOTOS, and then type "Slimport to HDMI CABLE" !!! That's it !!

Any Special settings needed in CM11?

This cable does not work on the 20 Jan CM11. Unless there are some special settings.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LAZG2M/
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWHPGJQ/ (Using this only when using S3)

EDIT: I flashed back to rooted Stock and the cable does not work with that ROM either.

The cable does work with KitKat in OG Galaxy Nexus (ShinyROM) and with Galaxy S3 with CleanROM 7 (based on Samsung Stock).

Looks like the G Pad is very picky which cable works. This is a drawback of the LG I guess.

You are using an MHL cable... The G Pad has a Slimport, not MHL port.

Slimport micro USB to HDMI Cable !!!


You did miss something. You didn't describe it as a Slimport adapter. You said that it wasn't an adapter but a direct micro USB to HDMI cable. That's not the same thing as a Slimport adapter. Now, you are contradicting yourself by saying that it is, indeed, a Slimport adapter and not a direct micro USB to HDMI cable. I'm sure that this is just a language issue on your part, but maybe you can see why I was confused by your post.

Your eyes have problem ???

It's NOT an Adapter !!! It's an CABLE !!! AM I RIGHT ???
It's Male micro USB to Male HDMI . If it is an ADAPTER, then, extra additional USB CABLE IS needed !, RIGHT ?

ALSO, I admitted that I missed saying that it's slimport port to HDMI, but I didn't SAY IT ISN'T !!!!

My language have problem or yours ??? Please read every sentence !!!

    I've just flashed the CM11 nightly (cm-11-20140122-NIGHTLY-v500.zip)

    I did nothing special, and actually, I can't find any settings related to the Slimport to HDMI.

    Just plugin the Cable and wait ! Have a look at the video here, sorry for the poor quality.
