Default MHL question

Just wondering if all MHL adapters are the same. Meaning, can I use a generic non-HTC adapter on my Rezound?

I believe so. Someone posted that a monoprice one worked on his GSII. I know that is a different phone but it is likely that HTC hasn't blocked generic ones if samsung didn't.

Current Phone: Galaxy S3 16GB White on VZW
Current ROM: AOKP JB Build 4

The thunderbolt/EVO 3D htc mhl adapter works.
How can I control my phone with out touching it?

The Monoprice MHL adapter works like a charm. You can't use your HTC cable in the adapter though. So pick up a long enough 5 pin micro usb cable( I am using a 6' wish I would have bought bigger) and long enough HDMI cable for your set up so you don't have to stand next to your TV operate the phone and watch it on the TV.

to further add to the question, if you're going through the MHL->HDMI to your telie, will it also keep your phone charged?

Yeah its a lot going on for our phone to display on a TV. My wife's Bionic has hdmi out, that is so easy! Just bought a hdmi to micro hdmi cable from monoprice for 3 bucks for my wife's phone. The Rezound looks like a octopus just to display to the TV!
