Does wireless vga to rca work?

I am trying to setup a VGA connection at a podium (for people to give presentations)

to display on an HDTV mounted on the wall. Was going to put in a wireless VGA to

Component, or VGA to VGA device.

I am debating on whether to use wireless or get a VGA to CAT5 converter for each end,

and just pull a CAT5 wire between the podium and the HDTV.

Other apps?

Hi!

I just joined and found this fine thread.

What will this solution do to other providers that don't tolerate rooting? Like HBO Nordic, will I still be able to use my subscription there, or will I have a problem?

Thank you for what looks like a good job :-)

Any chance of creating a similar firmware for the X5 Mini?

I'm having trouble using my BT headset (Kinivo BTH220).

I can sync it with BT but no sound...

Has anyone had this problem?!

Please fix download link.

Minix X5 4.2.2 stock roms don't support the HLS/Smooth streaming. On the X7 forum I noticed that HardwareGuru made a X7 4.2.2 rom which enabled HLS/smoothstreaming on many Live streaming apps.
Then I thought lets combine the X5_4.2.2_006 stock kernel with the system.img of the X7 HWG Beta 04a.Rev2 rom.

The result is a very stable rom! (haven't had any crashes so far).

I added an updated "rkxx-remotectl.kl" and support for xbox360 controllers. Next to that I added XBMC Gotham 13.0 rev2 which enables DD5.1 and DTS passthrough. And I updated the Airpin Pro to version 2.3.5.

The rom must be flashed with the Finless Flash Tool.

So if you're looking for a rom that support HLS/Smoothstreaming (used for many live streaming apps) why not try this rom.

INSTALL NOTES
When opening the flash tool first click on Erase NAND, then select the bootloader file and check the box, then flash all (including loader and all .img and parameter files).


Then after reboot wait for about 10 minutes (so that the added xbmc and airpin can be installed)

Have fun with it!

Credits for enabling HLS/Smoothstreaming and the system.img go to HardwareGuru.
Credits for patching libmedia.so and enabling DD5.1/DTS passthrough go to Stafstrom.
Credits for XBMC Gotham 13.0 rev2 go to the XBMC team and jmcm66 for compiling XBMC.

I made a version you can try for the X5 MINI.
(I changed the kernel (X5 --> X5 mini) and parameter file (16GB-->8GB))

What was you previous rom?
Could be a libmedia.so hack issue.
