I asked did it work with Virtuous PrimaDonna, and tbalden replied:

No, that rom has troubles with it

I have switched to Virtuous Inquisition because I simply found V PrimaD too flakey as a daily driver since I sold my HTC Vision.

So, having got everything reinstalled the first thing I really wanted to do was try this! I knew the MT4GS didn't do MHL so composite video through audio jack is a massive bonus!!

This is freakin awesome. It works with my Panasonic Plasma TX-P42G15, sides are chopped off but I'll try different versions and see how I get on. My smaller Sony 32" 32EX723 has component but not composite which don't fall back to composite.

thanks very much for all your efforts on this, it's fantastic.

BTW, please can you update the first post with links to the latest version, as I downloaded an old version at first. thanks

I tried the 1.2 version with PAL tv and it was stuck in 4:3 with the left and right edges chopped. However, it was still awesome to play Angry Birds Space on a 42" plasma!!!

Is it possible to use a better file sharing server than 4shared? I can't manage to create an account, it won't let me validate. Or are they any mirror set? Thank you!

The easiest thing to do with 4shared is click the little google icon in the login screen. It let's you log in using your gmail. But if not I can dropbox it...just let me know

Hehe, sorry, i have none of both accounts you mention ;)

Would it be possible to have it on another file sharing system (on which account creation works) or simply on a FTP?

Thank you anyway!

So here is my question, how are you running an android device with no Google login? To even be able to download a market app you need gmail. Anyways if I dropbox it all you have to do is click the link

:D I for one am running my device without logging in google :silly: (although I do have an account)

Talking about apps I download it in PC and transfer it on my sdcard :D

mobile internet rates here cost like $0.15 per hour and no unlimited data plan and I rarely use my own wifi since I always am out for work or even if I'm at home I still do have my PC on so I use it instead.

    tbalden's mt4gs bruteforce tvout


    Standalone tvout app runnable from Terminal Emulator.


    If you're on stock Doubleshot roms and its derivatives you most probably DON'T need this app, it will work out of the box!
    This app won't work on any other device, if it doesnt have an identical PAL/NTSC tvout graphics device of /dev/graphics/fb1

    35a4p4g.jpg


    INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. Download the flashable, install from your Recovery.
    2. Install Terminal Emulator
    3. If you don't have busybox with your ROM install busybox (https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox) (pyroice roms all have it)
    4. Plug in your Jack-AVC composite cable to your TV properly, turn on TV to the right mode. only AFTER that, plug in your cable to the phone's jack.
    5. Start Terminal Emulator,
    6. and according to your tv standards type in one of the appropiate command:


    PAL
    Code:
    ~ stvpal
    NTSC
    Code:
    ~ stvntsc
    PAL-N
    Code:
    ~ stvpaln
    PAL-M
    Code:
    ~ stvpalm

    It will ask for Root permissions. Grant it!
    Will start soon. Enjoy! :)


    On my HDTV i could only test stvpal, probably it will work on any HDTV. If using with older TVs, please report back if one of these scripts works for the tv. Not that I can fix it, but im curious. :p

    The app will stop if you plug off the cable. Restart the app if you replug.

    DEVS, PLEASE DON'T INCLUDE THIS IN YOUR ROMS. Rather link to this post.



    For best results use it with Pyr'o'Ice ICS 1.0.2 or Pyr'o'Ice Sense 1.0.1, as audio-to-tv most probably won't work with other ROMs.


    KNOWN ISSUES:


    - Glitches some apps, especially those that use Alpha/Transparency in 2D.
    - Glitchy with Live wallpapars and launcher transitions
    - Frame rate is sometimes lagging, but since 1.1 much better
    - Audio out might not work to tv (it works with Pyr'o'Ice ICS 1.0.2 and Pyr'o'Ice Sense 1.0.1)
    - check the youtube video above to see how it works

    BE AWARE THE APP IS USING YOUR CPU EXTENSIVELY, SO IT'S ADVISED TO USE YOUR CHARGER IF USING FOR EXTENDED TIMES!


    DONATION:


    Please consider donation if you like how the app works with your phone, it took a big heap of time to work on this! Also hit the Thanks button if you like this.

    DEVS, PLEASE DON'T INCLUDE THIS IN YOUR ROMS. Rather link to this post.


    Advice:

    - For gallery camcorded video playback the Gingerbread movie playback seemed to work better (no black glitches), while ICS had some troubles.
    - for video playback you can try different apps. Some might result with more glitches while others with less or none. Let's try to find the best player for this app, if we can.

    - some glitches appear momentarily when popups happen like Media volume setting popup.

    Btw, look for a cable something like this:

    ADDON:

    Check this for easier use like a shortcut on your Home screen (needs GScript Lite from market): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22269011&postcount=12 Thanks dillalade!


    CHANGELOG
    14 Feb 2012 - Further speed improvement with busybox nice command(1.2)
    13 Feb 2012 - Speed improvements (1.1)
    8 Feb 2012 - Initial release (1.0)

    i wont struggle with the portrait mode, its pretty much doesnt make sense to have it. but i will look at correcting the ration, although that means loosing data...the tvout device has a bigger screen to fill in horizontal resolution, a shame its not fully displayed on the tvs... :(

    I agree, Portrait mode is perhaps not needed, unless some gamers play some games with preference in portrait mode.

    Ratio, frame rate & glitch is all that's desired I guess.

    I'm unsure as to why the output to tv is cut off slightly, but I'm sure some tweaking on your end will make good ;)

    Edit:
    To make usage of this feature a little easier for users, I've created the necessary gscript scripts to fire up your 'tv out app' from either within gscripts or even better - add a homescreen 'gscript widget' for your appropriate tv standard (ntsc or pal/n/m) using the appropriate script for your tv.

    The download below is a zip containing a gscript folder itself containing 4 scripts. Unzip this to your root sdcard such you have the gscript folder on your sd then install gscript. (Alternatively extract the individual gscript(s) and place into your pre existing gscript folder if already installed.)

    Enjoy ;)

    frame lag is quite severe playing super mario kart. could be the emulator?

    check without tvout. if its ok, then its the tvout app. it's defiinitely not a champ in frame rate, its coming from its nature how it's working, it can't be much better. Stock ROM's overlaying tvout is much better, but i couldnt figure that out.

    much appreciated!

    last missing peace for wireless sixaxis + tv out

    Check the alpha3 + my latest kernel fix flashable in the cm9 thread.

    whoa, great work!

    But... doesn't this belong more in the apps' subforum? :p

    Well, its under development mod. Ive read the rules to check exactly upon that, but if any mod feels it doesnt belong here, ill move.
