I know the 3D is software controlled and only works in some areas. Can there possibly be development to be able to control what is in 3D and what isn't? Or perhaps some sort of toggle? For example can we develop a 3D home launcher or is it just not physically possible? Or can we ever find a way to turn off the 3D content?
i don't see any reason why not, since its software controlled we should have complete access to it. I'm sure you could make a completely 3d launcher but i for see dozens of people saying it would be a bad idea and they wouldn't use it. (I'm not one of them lol)

Well that's why it would be cool if we can somehow build a 3D toggle. I imagine there may be times that I would not want to view 3D content.

Has it been confirmed that 3D viewing is possible in portrait mode? I finally saw the Nintendo 3DS, which was much better than I expected, and the 3D definitely only works in one orientation. I suspect the EVO 3D will be the same. If that is the case it wouldn't make much sense to have a launcher that only works in 3D when in portrait mode unless it could be written to switch 3D on and off based on orientation; that might be asking a bit much for a launcher.

Control what is in 3d and what isn't? Find a way to turn off 3d content? Sorry, not trying to sound mean or anything but this makes absolutely no sense at all. If you don't want to use 3d content then don't, its not like 3d is mandatory. Its like the kickstand the evo 4g, its there for you to use or not, there isn't a requirement to use it. If you don't want to look at a 3d movie then don't play one on the phone just play the regular 2d version. If you don't want 3d pics then don't take 3d pics. I am sure there will be 3d bloatware, and if thats the case simply don't use that particular app or root it and remove it all together.

I actually think the opposite of the 3DS. You have to stay absolutely still and at a perfect angle in order to view the 3D. Even then it is hard to focus on. I am imaging the EVO 3D will be better. I am guessing the reason 3D only works in landscape is because of the screen hardware? I think it would be very convenient for us to be able to turn off 3D in order for a more crisp and clear image. I found it almost impossible to read text on the Nintendo 3DS screen.
I'm not so sure it will only work in landscape. I've seen reports that say otherwise
It works in portrait too, where did you hear it was only in landscape?

Pretty much everyone on every forum/blog that hasn't actually seen or held one in real life says its landscape only lol. how do you know for sure?
I really wish someone somewhere would definitively say (and back it up with hard evidence) whether it works in portrait or not. I saw a thread where someone said they had played with it themselves and that it definitely did 3D in portrait, but then later they recanted and said they weren't certain anymore. I've seen posts where people reference "you tube videos" (without links or more specifics) that prove it does portrait 3D. Almost every post I see that says it doesn't support portrait appears to be speculation based on the fact that no other hardware does both yet. I can't wait for the thing to be released simply so I can finally find out for myself. lol
Oh, and I think the existing hardware 2D/3D switch would be a great way to control whether content was displayed in 2D or 3D. Hopefully some devs can mod that up in a custom 3D ROM eventually.

I agree, that would be awesome. We have seen some "impossible" things be developed onto the EVO so I am sure they can figure out something. Remember HTC saying the evo wouldn't work past 30 fps because of the hdmi. Well yeah the devs got it to work.

Mine does 720p only for recording. I didn't take the OTA, if that makes a difference?

Portrait 3D is true, with some caveats. To me, at least, the best viewing distance in landscape is about 12 inches. In portrait, it has to be about 20 - closer than that is blurry. However, if you zoom one of the 3D pictures, the 3D effect is broken. In portrait view, the widescreen photos are tiny. Since you can see them, and you have to view them from 2 feet, it's hard to see. But, they are definitely still 3D in portrait. So, there is some hope for a 3D portrait homescreen!

Go for it. I've been hearing mixed results for this as well, and I'm kind of confused as well. I won't be getting my 3D until this weekend (sad face haha), but I've been playing with a couple for the past few days thanks to some good friends. While I haven't checked the video setting, someone sent me a video as proof of concept and sure as hell looked 1080p. I'm wondering as well, since reviews about the camcorder have been mixed as well...This is very interesting.

Uh, if you are holding a 3D in your hand right now, why don't you just check the video settings right now?.
Also, how can you tell a video is in 1080p just by looking at it? It's a simple thing to confirm - check the properties of the file and take a look at the resolution.

Because I was in a Sprint store 10 minutes ago. I didn't think this was even a point of debate since I had been told by three different people it worked at 1080p. Since this thread has been started, I've been pm'ed by two people saying it doesn't do 1080p, and one more person saying I should stick to my story and that they have 1080p. I've updated the article to say this is still being debated. How in heck can people be confused about this? Just look in the settings -_-

That was more for the Portrait 3D since someone disagreed with one line of the article and through the childish "unbelievable" card.
I didn't check it because I didn't think it was a point of debate. I was told by two people that it recorded and there was no argument on here. Somehow people are still arguing here about whether or not 3D works in portrait, so I was really going to look at that.

Don't mean to keep bustin' balls bro, but your argument has been all but compelling.
I'd like to know how one can even tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a screen that is only 540p?

That's not the issue however. For months HTC has advertised 1080p recording, then last minute they changed it to only 720p. Sure it may not be noticeable to you or others, but we simply want what we were promised. That also implies that the phone is capable of recording in 1080p, but for some unknown reason, is being limited to 720p. Don't you want the full potential of your device?

I'm willing to bet the Evo3D's 1080p recording ability is on par with the Evo4G's 720p recording ability....
So the Evo3D has fantastic, cheap point-n-shoot quality for 720p video (which these days is impressive compared to what I grew up with costing thousands upon thousands of dollars)...and it's 1080p offerings were, well, paltry at best.....and we all know what happened when the evo4g's 720p recording didn't pan out as expected....(though my biggest problem with it was that ****ty AMR audio codec, but I digress)....
...we'll probably be able to open this up and be able to enjoy the lack-luster jumpy low-framerate 1080p that we were originally promised.
From a "principals" point of view, yeah, I'm offended.... but from a technical and practical point of view? It's a good decision on their part.
Now, If I were head of their hardware development department I would employ the same tactic I use at my technical job where "quality" (being a moving target depending on the person) is critical.... employ "expectations management"....where you under promise and over deliver...then everybody is always capable of providing the desired output and everybody is always impressed with what results.
Does this excuse their professional responsibility to deliver on promises? No, not at all, but perhaps for some of you it can help explain it.
some facts from some one with a 3d. As it comes it does not do 1080p. I have not taken the ota and there is a update for the camera in it. I would bet the its enables the 1080p so that's the difference. Also the ota is automatic after activation you have to cancel it so the two different stories.
is there a way to make your home screen/lock screen 3D? I've been playing around with it and seems like the only 3D feature on this phone is the camera and viewing 3D pics and videos... it would be really nice if I could make the whole phone 3D. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

This cannot be done it was designed to work only with pictures, videos, and some games.
while I agree this is a dumb noob question, I also kind of understand where the guy is coming from..
I saw a commercial the other day for the 3d for the first time, and they show the icons on the homescreen coming out of the screen as it says FIRST 3d phonneeee!
I don't want a 3d homescreen, but i still think that is a kind of deceptive commercial that leads to these kind of posts.
Yes cause the commercial doesn't mention only those, just has android tossing glasses on main screen with it in 3d still. I know it was only meant to be video pics & games, but I think the lock screen should at least have 3d as well, or able to put your 3d pics as your background pic.

On my old HD2 i was running the rom from Kingdom and there was a check to enable 3D homescreen under settings/display. When you activated it, you could tilt your phone and the screen would shift and seem to pop out. Even though the 3D part did not work on the HD2. Sadly, it was not on my EVO 3D when I got it, but maybe it is hidden or can be enable with root or cooked into a rom once the bootloader is unlocked.
a 3D live wallpaper would be great.
Idk I could have sworn that in one of the tech demo's way before it came out, one of htc's reps had shown 3d interface and home screen. I specifically remember because I was stoked after they showed the weather app which I thought to my self would look awesome in 3d

while most wouldn't want it. i still think it would be a "wow that's cool" factor with a 3d lock screen for people that want to check out your phone kinda like how the 3d pictures and movies are. its not like we use the 3d part all the time but its cool to show people when they ask what its all about.
I heard spb shell has a 3d option for their homescreen. I just can't justify paying $15 for a launcher though.

Agree that it would only be a wow factor since 3d will eat up your battery and you aren't gonna use it much just like live wallpapers.
This might be a stupid question, but does the community ever expect to get 3D functionality in an AOSP build? I am assuming the technology is pretty complicated and is completely part of Sense, so how will this ever work? This worries me slightly...
Also, anyone tried the mirroring on HDMI in toast's CM7 build? These are two deal breakers for me, but at the same time so is HTC's horrible Bluetooth stack

Regarding the bad Bluetooth quality I contacted HTC and they reported it as bug to their devs. I've got a opened ticket for it on their support site. They will contact me, when its fixed.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
I would say its completely possible to get 3D in AOSP. A couple factors though.
1.) The evo3D is not as popular as the Evo4G was/is. That may hold up development.
2.) Remember, 4G was only in Sense as well. That had tto be built into AOSP from the ground up.
3.) There are 2 3D phones out right now. So that might help development. Especially since the Thrill doesn't run Sense at all. Its running... Well, whatever the thrill runs on top of Android.
So, I think it'll happen eventually. Just be patient.
Might be totally unrelated, but the heroc's camera was always better on a sense rom than in cm7----are the camera drivers tied entirely to sense?
Sent by Logo the turtle
Pretty sure most of the drivers on E3D are tied into Sense... i think it's time to look into BootManager, dual booting ROMs to get the best of both worlds... for now at least.
Toast already has vidoes with the 3d flag playing on CM7, the driver and source for 3d are released already. I think it will happen, we didn't buy this device for 3d but we found it to be kind of cool. This will be what brings it to CM, that and the best development teams have this device!

Well, as far as taking 3D pictures and video, I'm sure it will come along. Toast is a beast, he'll get it done. Right now, you can still watch 3D videos that you've taken or converted into 3D. Rockplayer reads the 3D videos, as do a few other players.
On a related note, has anyone found a Gallery type program that reads .mpo files as 3D? I love CM, and being able to still watch my 3D videos is a hell of a bonus, but I'd like to still be able to view my 3D pictures too.
Was wondering about that too..
My wife is kinda mad... or confused... or just in "that time of month"... Im not really sure, but she says she cant see the 3D effect, and in the same time she cant look at the 3D effect for more than a second or two, because it hurts her eyes...?

Yep it's totally possible.
Wikipedia article on it or just search Stereoblind in Google.
yes, I have met quite a lot of them. Usually Samsung and Iphone users.
When I was 12 I went swimming in a lake near where I grew up. I did so with my eyes open and ended up getting an infection. It scarred my cornea just over my pupil, so I don't see so well out of my left eye. That impediment to my binocular vision makes it far more difficult to see 3d effects. It also killed my depth perception for a while (until i got used to it) so it killed my budding baseball career. Imagine watching a 12 year old kid in the outfield, running up for a grounder, planting his feet, putting his glove on the ground, and the ball stopping 5 feet in front of him. Or better yet, running up for the grounder and it flies right past him. - LOL
Ya know what? My I never thought I had any problem with my vision. My eyes just strained a lot but I could see. Got checked out by a specialist the family knows, turns out my eyes are just a hair facing away from each other (why the strain). got glasses to correct it over time.
Before this, 3D hurt my eyes really bad. After glasses, 3D is as natural as looking across the room. interesting how just being slightly off can make such a big difference.

Yep, I can't see the 3D effect on the phone at all, but then I'm stereoblind as well.
I've taken a few 3D pics of a chair just to see how it works and when I show other people, they all say "Wow!! That's really cool!" I however see each sub-picture sort of overlapped and offset from each other. Where it jumps out in 3D to others, all I see is a ghosted mess of 8 chair legs.
It's actually more common than you might think. All it takes is a slight misalignment of the eyes and you can't see 3D... at least the way most of us do. So someone like Tommy from the most recent season of Hell's Kitchen: probably no need for him to get an Evo 3D.

Came in here solely because of the interesting name..
I thought for a second y'all might be starting a 'club for the sightless' who were suckered into buying a 3D phone.
Anyway, I have terrible vision in BOTH eyes, so I wear contacts to correct, of course. However, if I lose a contact, or have to take one of them out for some reason, then bye-bye 3D effect, (and those "Magic Eye" pictures are absolutely impossible, even if I know what I'm looking for.)
Sounds possible, then, that someone who simply has a pronounced difference in vision quality between their two eyes "naturally" might have a problem 'seeing' the 3D effect?
Thx, all... Interesting posts.
I`ve meet two people that couldnt see the 3D effect (my wife - of course)
and some dude. Everybody else thinks the 3D is awesome (myself included! :-D )
But the weird part with my wife is that she cant see the 3D on my phone,
but there is no problem in the movies/theatre/big screen (with glasses), but yeah that is two different kind off 3D, but still... weird.
(and the samsung and iphone 3D blindness - LOL nice one! )
I have nystagmus (seach wikipedia since i cant post links) so i can't see 3d in more or less any form. I still got the evo 3d because it a good phone. It suck when people are like "you can't see that?!?!?!"
I read an article about the human eye and the 3D effect. It was mostly talking about the "headaches' people get from looking at 3D content. For the typical human, throughout the years, your eyes are trained to look at things exactly the way we see it. Shapes, angles different objects are embedded in are brains in 2D form. So now we get to looking at 3D content, which teaches are eyes to look at a picture (which are really two of the same images) and look at one image at a normal distance and the other image at a somewhat further distance, thus this being the reason we get that effect. Now none of use come out the wound looking at the world like this so when we are exposed to this type of effect normally it will cause headaches. The more 3D content you see, your eyes & brain recieves training on how to acknowledge this way of seeing certain things. That explains the reason you don't get headaches after a while, and how you can look at the 3D images without thinking about it. Oppose to seeing that sh!t, rubbing your eyes & popping a advil.
I hope I explained this as well as it was explained to me.

Pointless no since ultimately it's the end user that decides whether or not they want to give up the 3D feature for a ROM. There are a couple ROMS that have functioning 3D but sadly to incorporate it into ROMS such as MIUI or CM is quite challenging.
Look at it this way, some people don't mind giving that feature up for something that is far more promising in the long run. Options are always welcomed with these devices.

I bought this phone because it had the best hw at the time of release! The 3D is a plus that I can do without. Especially for sweet CM goodness!

Perfect example!
I got it for the hardware and shamefully the 3D. The WOW factor wore off pretty quick in my case.

I don't think it's pointless. The dev's and rom cookers give you the details on what's working and not working in their releases 99% of the time, and a lot of the android enthusiasts (most people on this board), have a reason or another to willingly sacrifice a thing or two. (WiMax for example, since here in AZ we don't have the network capabilities to utilize it.)
Those who are not willing get the choice to avoid it, or test it out and see if they're willing to use it until the author gets a chance to resolve the bugs / known issues. (Assuming they plan to fix it. Some outright state they have no intentions to.)
Well as long 3D movies and 3D recording doesn't work it will not be mine daily driver. But fact is that some off these roms that miss a few features off our phone are really good.
Rom I have now MikRunny 1.11 still has an bug with 3D games, but because there are almost no 3D games is the reason I don't mind that.
I'll kiss 3D goodbye for a cm rom any day. In fact, I only bought this phone for the great hardware. 3D is something I'd show friends, maybe take a bunch of pictures and that's it. It's more a "nice to have" feature than anything I'd really miss.
If I know I need the 3D feature (or MHL, which is more important to me and doesn't work on non-sense roms I've tried [GSM user]), I can still restore a Sense backup

This is kinda what i mean i dont overly use the feature but its a feature i would like to have at hand if the opportunity to use it arose
I think it will all change when the evo 3d gets the official ics update
I could care less about the 3D, honestly, its a novelty on the phone at best. When it came out, it had better specs than anything else Sprint was offering, and I was interested in "keeping it in the family" as I came from the EVO 4G.
Gimme a good room with battery life, camera, working 4g, and good sound, and you can burn 3D into the ground.

People who don't have it tend to say that its an gimmick yes. If you don't see it in real its hard to judge.
I also mainly judged on the hardware specifications as the choice for HTC was obvious.
But now I have I can say for sure its not an gimmick its an really usefull feature that is going change my life, because first I could only record in 2D and now I can record in 3D and that is just great, as for later then I can watch these memories back in 3D.
Although I don't have an 3D tv. One thing I know for sure, if I would buy an TV or Monitor and I can get on for not much with 3D then I for sure go for the 3D.
But now I put 3D movies on the Evo 3D and go lie in bed and watch an 3D movie, although it drains the battery, as yesterday after I had it charged 100% not long after that I went watching an 3D movie that was 120 mins long.
My battery drained at time 60% but its worth watching in 3D as its really an nice experience and I'm even more expressed by the 3D video's I can make myself.
I pratice Kung fu and yesterday I asked mine trainer if I could film him doing the first form and I looked it few times back and it looks so great.

For people that want it, but can't go without certain features, just need to get Boot Manager. Get it setup when your running your daily, so goes on phone ROM. Then slide over to other slots & setup ROM you want to try. All you do to flip between is open boot manager, slide to ROM you want to run & hit boot ROM. I usually won't buy apps, only use free ones, unless I WILL use it & really benefit from it like making easier. This was worth it!! Also good to just try out ROMS. See a ROM that looks good but not sure if you like it, & just end up restoring your ROM, or re flash your daily. This it's already setup, & if don't like new ROM just delete it from manage option.
