The CDMA box is so rich !!!
While The GSM box is too bleak and too little rom was developed.
Why don't developers develop for GSM ?
Please, we need you !!! Where are you ? Do you hear us ?
I doubt anyone in this forum has a GSM Evo 3D. You're better off asking in general. Maybe you could start up a collection to purchase one of the devs a GSM 3D

Why do you think about that ???
Man I sure love the DEVELOPERS, please!!! ROM, so smooth and quadrants are amazing.
Hate to go off topic, but you have got the wierdest website ever.
I'm sure someone would dev for u guys but u need testers that know what they are doing when testing roms etc. Maybe pm some devs of roms ur interested in and ask couldn't hurt.

i would dev for you guys but i dont have the device and my uploads are painfully slow so testing roms would be hell

You probably have Hboot either 1.49.0011, 0012, 0013 and if these had s-off the Gsm thread would kick along more steadily. No one knows if Team Revolutionary are working on these or not. (I have my doubts) so it is what it is. I learn't to not rush in and check XDA before committing to any phone to make sure it has some life.

There are also a lot of GSM users with hboot .08 and .07 with s-off.
..but the HTC unlock tool is really a pain in the ass and the gsm forums is flooded with questions regarding non working kernels/wifi on S-ON(HTC Unlock Tool)
GSM Forums just got 2/3 devs and only one is really active - Leedroid.
MDJ (virtuos team) got a rom too, but he don't own a evo 3D himself, so he can't be very productive.
Leedroid was a long time busy with private things and got a lot of other devices to support, so the development stucked for a while.
I'm not a linux guy, just know some c/c# but tried to port some things over the GSM Evo 3D (Zeus Mod in sig) and also tried to port some things from the WARM Rom (Tweaks Settings).
But it's very time consuming comparing/merging smali files - 90% of edits causes fcs after reboot - Don't understand why the framework of the CDMA/GSM is so different - what kind of programming style is that HTC?

easy first gsm started out with 2.3.4 while we started with 2.3.3 also cdma 4g wimax vs gsm hspa + [not sure if gsm evo supports HSPA+] anyways yea so mostly gsm vs cdma differences
Thanks JoelZ9614 (developer) interested. But CDMA & GSM is so different. It's reason that the GSM box is too bleak and too little rom was developed. i hope, in the near future it's richer because of you
Ok so I have a spare 3d sitting around and came across this article saying that they have a kernel that allows monitor mode/ packet injection on the Nexus One, the GSII and possibly the OG Evo. I believe you have to compile the kernel yourself and it only works with AOSP roms. They have just updated the firmware for this kernel to work with the bcm4329 WiFi chipset that is in our phones. Is this in our near future? Is someone (kernel dev) looking into this? My friend is working to compile his on his SIII. l would attempt it but I have no linux knowledge, no pc, and no idea of what I'm doing or where to start. Any feedback, questions, comments would be appreciated
Here is the link to the blog, the source and everything anyone needs to give it a shot

Hey man, I am on the same warpath as you, but my weapon of choice is the Evo Shift 4g. I have been watching bcmon.blogspot.com waiting eagerly for updates. I know there's a thread on XDA of some devs compiling differen CM10 builds for peoples phones with compatible chipsets but I cannot seem to find it.
If you wanna contact me pm me, I have msn/aim/skype. Perhaps we can help one another if we have any progress in any way shape or form.
There have been a number of threads started here asking what is the best ROM for the Evo 3d. Those threads are not allowed in the Evo 3D forums and this one is not intended to answer that question. What it is intended to do is help users that are new to custom ROM's on the Evo 3D get some idea of what is available and what might fit their needs based on what they think they want. Then they can try the ROM's that interest them and make a decision about which one suits them best.
If you want feedback on ROM's that might work for you please supply as much of the following information as you can:
1. What model of the Evo 3D do you have (CDMA/GSM, Evo 3D, Evo V, Evo 4G+)
2. What ROM are you currently running?
3. Is your Evo 3D rooted and/or S-OFF?
4. What is important to you in a ROM (features, customization, performance, battery life, etc.)
5. Do you plan to run a custom kernel to OC/UV or for additional features like USB host?
6. If you have a preference between Sense and AOSP ROM's please include that.
7. Indicate if you are looking specifically for a GingerBread, Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean based ROM.
8. Must have features that don't work on all ROM's like Wi-Fi tethering, WiMax 4G, and 3D camera.
For people giving information and advice in this thread, please refrain from stating what you think is "the best" ROM since it is up to each user to decide that for themselves. And most importantly, please don't get excited if someone else doesn't appreciate your favorite ROM since we want things to be civil so we can keep this thread open.
Thanks to the mods for being willing to give this a try.

[Q] need good rom where things work
Sparticuz said:
My wife got a used e3d [cdma] a few weeks ago and is experiencing wierd things, the touch screen is non-responsive, it freezes, the proximity sensor goes crazy, etc...
What is a decent rom, where most everything works fine? I don't care about 3d, but wimax and regular camera are necessary. I was just going to do the htc unlock as I don't really care about s-on or off for her phone.
EDIT: I would prefer a cm9 or cm10, but it looks like cm10 hasn't been updated in almost 2 months, and i can't even find a cm9 thread... you're dev forum is packed to the brim, lol.

I'm transferring this information from the Q&A forum for sparticuz so he can get some feedback here.
I'll start by saying that if the phone is having touchscreen problems you might want to flash the RUU for the Sprint ICS stock ROM to make sure it's not hardware.
You will have to relock it before running the RUU, then HTC unlock it again and flash a custom recovery, and then you will be able to flash custom ROM's of your choice.
Given your preference I would suggest you try the JB custom ROM's that are in active development, which includes a variety of CM10, MIUI and AOKP ROM's in the Development Forum. Most of them have working cameras at his point (though not 3D). None have WiMax 4G yet but it's being worked on.
You might also want to try some of the Sense based ROM's like SOS M that are mostly "de-Sensed" to remove the bloat but have everything working and still offer the look and feel of AOSP based ROM's.
ramjet73
It's running stock right now. I was thinking about doing a reset to factory, but I also wanted to address the finicky proximity sensor and the freezing at the same time. I was hoping for something that is stable at this point, I won't be 'flashing the latest nightlies' on it or anything. What would be the best fit for me for a stable ics rom, i don't care if it's sense or not, where 4g and camera work, (again, i don't care about 3d).

Is it for you or your wife?
Because honestly if it's for your wife you may just be better suited to stick with a sense rom. There are a few ics ones that run smoothly with no issues and even some that are made to look more stock Android like.
I only say that because, unless she is hard core like most people on here she may not truly want bleeding edge, just wants it to always work. Although I consider cm10 stable for myself and have been using it as a daily, it would be far too unstable for my wife. Does that make sense? I have been through situations like this with my wife while she was on Android, I finally gave in and bought her an iphone.
Running MeanROM ICS at the moment. I Have the Sprint Evo 3D. I care about 3D (display and camera), Wimax 4G, tethering, HDMI out, speed, and stability. I have s off. I don't care about Sense because I run my own launchers and widgets. I also use Link2SD because the phone doesn't have enough internal storage.
Any ROM suggestions?

Some ROM's that come to mind given your requirements are SOS M, which you may have tried already, the d3rpICS Bareback version, and the Senseless AOSP version of SolidROM.

I agree about SOS M as it is basically just MeanROM without Sense. I also think that Common Sense AOSP and Desensification (both by beneath a burning turtle) are worthy contenders to add to ramjet's list. Both have most of the sense stuff removed as well.
Good thread Ramjet73. Since I don't dig around and actually try different roms (I read about them when I can), I will post here for some feedback.
Currently:
1. Evo 3D CDMA (Sprint)
2. MeanRom ICS v2.6
3. Rooted / S-OFF / 2.89fw & Hboot 1.58
4. My ROM Priority Order: features, performance, battery life
5. Running Athx 3.6.6a-MR, for OC/UV at 1.62Ghz, Sweep2Wake, & USB OTG (OTG is so cool!)
6. The only thing from sense 3.6 I have kept/like is the Weather Lockscreen with its App Shortcuts and Caller ID. (ADW Launcher Ex)
Looking for:
7. I am interested in a solid Jelly Bean/CM based ROM if it's available.
8. My must have features beyond the basics that I like from MeanRom (4g and 3d Camera not req'd)
- Full Data Roaming
- WiFi Tether support (Need for tethering the HP Touchpad with CM9)
- Exchange ActiveSync "Sync While Roaming" can now be enabled including push (update schedule) while roaming
- HTML message format unlocked in Exchange Mail settings
- Roam Only option in mobile network settings
- init.d support
- LeeTweaks (or similar non controversial version/features)
- MHL (TV out) support (may give this one up temporarily)
I keep expecting to see something that makes me want to trade the features/performance/dependability I get on MR 2.6, but haven't gotten the impression that JB development for the 3D has hit that milestone yet. Please redirect me if I missed something.
Thanks

Wow, that's a tough one.
To be honest, I still haven't found anything better than MeanROM ICS, especially when you consider the roaming and Outlook features, along with the other fixes that Mike (mikeyxda) made to the Sprint ICS base. JB ROM's are still solving camera, WiMax and MMS issues, and I don't think they have even started to address features like roaming control and Outlook customizations. Agrabren's Disarmed Toaster CM10 ROM is probably the farthest along on the Evo 3D, and an update is expected soon that should narrow the gap between AOSP and Sense ROM's for our phone.
Cool ICS and Common Sense both offer some things that aren't integrated into MeanROM ICS (Google Now and other Jelly Bean features, custom kernel, enhanced YouTube) but as you already know those features can be added to MeanROM ICS with a little extra work. The d3rpICS ROM (Sense and de-Sensed) is another option to consider, and one of the few with ongoing updates available via SVN, but I haven't checked its features recently.
As far as AOSP based ROM's go, there are a bunch of new ones recently released, but development is mainly focused on camera, MMS, WiMax and other basic functionality, with hardly any discussion of roaming and Outlook features.
I still use MeanROM ICS as the daily driver on my primary phone, so I'm not really the best one to answer your question about alternatives, especially AOSP based options. That's why we started this thread so hopefully someone who does use an AOSP based ROM as their primary will jump in.
BTW, my favorite JB based ROM so far is lens_flare's MIUI, mostly because I've always enjoyed the feature integration and themes that MIUI offers, but that in no way addresses your priorities.
Thanks for the inquiry. Hopefully it will get this thread moving again.

ramjet, i need your help
1. What model of the Evo 3D do you have : CDMA
2. What ROM are you currently running? : Viper3D_02Nov12_1459_r218_s
3. Is your Evo 3D rooted and/or S-OFF? YES
My Phone cannot gain root access
can you solved my problem? thanks!
Hello,
1. What model of the Evo 3D do you have (CDMA/GSM, Evo 3D, Evo V, Evo 4G+)
CDMA, Sprint Evo 3D
2. What ROM are you currently running?
SOS M
3. Is your Evo 3D rooted and/or S-OFF?
Rooted, yes.
HBOOT 1.5 S-ON
4. What is important to you in a ROM (features, customization, performance, battery life, etc.)
Stability, battery life
5. Do you plan to run a custom kernel to OC/UV or for additional features like USB host?
No
6. If you have a preference between Sense and AOSP ROM's please include that.
AOSP. Since I use Go Launcher anyways, I'd prefer not having the bulk of Sense
7. Indicate if you are looking specifically for a GingerBread, Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean based ROM.
ICS or later
8. Must have features that don't work on all ROM's like Wi-Fi tethering, WiMax 4G, and 3D camera.
4G and wifi tethering are required
3D camera (while I rarely use it) isn't something I'm ready to give up. So I'd prefer it to work.
My main concern is I haven't updated my firmware ever (because I'm S-ON). So I'd like to use ROMs similar to SOS M, that use a kernel compatible with my firmware, hboot, etc.
Thanks for the recommendations!
Thanks for posting here. I was thinking of this ROM by Gruesomewolf. It is sense 3.6 so everything works, but also has a desensification option in its installer.

I already mentioned Smooth Criminal and Common Sense/Desensification in the SOS M thread. TerribleLie by NineInchNails is also an interesting Sense 3.6 ROM since it uses the DX Home launcher.

I'm not sure what here does/doesn't work well with the Virgin Mobile Evo V. My girlfriend's getting one and I want to root it, remove bloat, and optimize it. Whats the best rom that keeps all VM features working, doesn't break any 3D stuff, and is better than the factory shipped stuff?
I would say Harmonia would be a good choice. Midnight ROM might also fit the bill. Those are the only VM roms I know of that have 3D working completely.
I've heard good things about those roms. They're not available here afaik, but you can find them with a Google search.
I would also like to add that if your thread gets locked, don't be surprised. Due to moderator preference these types of threads best rom, kernel or mod are discouraged. If that has changed please somebody let me know. Just a heads up.
We have a thread for these types of questions. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950596
