[Q] hdmi output... netflix .. other apps - Does the HDMI display on TV?

[nook-color]

I'm trying to get Netflix to display on TV via HDMI output. Got a HDMI cable - and but no picture to HDTV when running the app on phone.

I did a google search - and read that the app needs to enable HDMI on this phone? Being that this is a new cable - I don't know if Netflix app enables HDMI on this phone - or if I have a bad cable that I need to swap out - or if I'm trying to do something with this phone - that it's just not capable of doing.

1) Does Netflix display via HDMI - with unrooted Evo 4G
2) Does Netflix display via HDMI with rooted EVO 4G
3) Is there a known app that works with HDMI - so I can test to see if my cable is any good?

Thanks

1) No, must have a kernel installed that supports HDMwIn. It'll mirror your phone, so that anything that you see on your screen will appear on your HDTV. I'm running CM7 with Tiamat kernel and am able to watch netflix with the cable.
2) Yes/No, the Evo was limited by the manufacturer so you'll need to use HDMwIn. Again, you'll still need a supported kernel. But now that you're rooted, you can flash the kernel.
3)HDMwIn. It works.
btw, I got my cable for $6, so you don't have to spend a grip

If your on a sense 2.3 rom then you cannot use HDMwIn. Must be aosp 2.3 or sense 2.2

Anyone know why HDMIWin doesn't support the newer ROMs, or if there are plans to support sense 3.0 based ROMs on android 2.3?

Does flashing a different kernel work with synergy RLS1?

Agraben is working on the kernel fixes needed for HDMI on Gingersense roms.
