I thought the EVO 3D would be faster than almost any phone out there with it's dual core processor, however my sister recently got a Nexus S 4G and I have to to say it is significantly faster, snappier, and more responsive than my EVO 3D. Is Sense really this bad? Hopefully Cyanogen will be out soon so I can make a fair comparison, but it is really disappointing how a single core processor phone is at least just as fast as my EVO 3D, if not faster.

I don't mind Sense, and I understand it is a hog as it was on the OG EVO. It's a shame that even with all the bloatware removed and OC'd to 1.8 it is still not as fast as I expected. I'm not bashing the phone or anything, just trying to figure out how Sense can cause a phone to have such poor performance even when the hardware is there.
This again...
Its not bad. Sigh...
Think production exotic supercar .vs weight reduced (no expensive radio, passenger seat, lighter frame, no luxury amenities etc.) supercar.
That would be the life of a Skinned/Tuned Android like Sense .vs Google Stock Android/ AOSP
Sense is deeper than it's skin so yes, it does use more resources (Quiet on pick-up, flip for speaker, flip for mute, loud volume in pocket etc.)

I think the comparison is closer to a fast heavy car (EVO 3D) vs a lightweight slower car (Nexus S)
Why do people get so angry and defensive on these boards? It's just a phone. If you can't engage in adult conversation then just leave. It's really sad how involved people get in these things.

Just rumors that AOSP will not work because of the dual cameras. Someone said if Cyanogen goes, all other devs will go too. As Nate and the other guy said, they can disable one camera and leave out the 3D features in CM.

I really don't get all the fuss about AOSP. I used CM7 a lot on the Evo and it is nice, but between Launcher Pro and Sense 3.0 I'm more than satisfied. In any event, I think Cyanogen would want to take on the challenge of getting a ROM to work on the 3d, versus just moving on to another device.
Who gives a crap about the damn 3d, I used it for 2 days to get the oohs and ahhs and now I'm done. If cyanogen can bake in something as complex as 4G doesn't it seem like they can get a cam working?

"Though the HTC Evo 3ds dual core CPU clocks at a slightly faster speed at 1.2 GHz, the Thrill 4G makes up for its slower clock speed with its dual memory channels." Dual channels?
No 4G, slower, half the RAM. PERFECT!!!
More importantly, why the hell would you care? I can't concern myself with the Jones's or what they are buying.
Honestly? Have you used an LG phone? There is no comparison. It's not competition. Not to mention it might be cheaper to start with but consider the network its on and the price you pay to be on that network.......we win in the end.

It may be $100 cheaper, but remember AT&T has a $325 ETF not $200 like Sprint. Plus their rate plans are a little bit more expensive.
Specs wise, it might be lower resolution but if it's like the 2x it's an IPS panel verses SLCD which looks better if it doesn't have the light bleed problem that plagued the 2x. As for dual channel memory, it allows the memory to be interacted with faster, but can't be filled if that makes any sense. So there can't be as memory hungry apps running, but it does help benchmarks for speed.
the LG has a TI WiLink chipset which is better (has more features like ANT+) than our Broadcom's.

I saw this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY7nHi2Lcbg
And it confirmed what I already thought, especially with the benchmarks.
What I'm asking is if through custom roms, overclocking and different apps (maybe opera is better than stock browser) the evo 3d can get near or beat a stock S2 across a number of these tasks.
Referring to the ROMs I mean GSM, but any CDMA input is also appreciated and beneficial to the forum.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using xda premium
If you were to run AOSP on both phones, there is a very good chance you would not notice a difference in performance (real world wise). Overclock a Sense ROM and you'll probably get the same effect as well. But comparing OC'd to stock isn't that fair.
I will 1v1 anyone in any benchmarks and CPU speed... Lulz

How old is that video? I had to unroot my EVO to take the new update to the 2.17 base and I must say it flies. I noticed the difference right away. And I'm talking about stock unrooted. The new base on a custom Rom like Meanrom makes all other roms on the old base feel like crap.

I was amazed by the audio and video as it was. But today I spent some time with the Developer Options. Except for overclocking the phone, I can't see a reason to root and install CM* or anything else. There's so much in it now! There's no way I'm going to get this out of an iPhone. My coworker just stares at it and says, "two more months...".
So that said, are folks still looking to install CM on this phone? What else would you get out of CM or another ROM that you're not getting from what the phone has now?
Thanks.
As far as getting aosp... Better performance, better battery life, no sense.
I can't wait for it to drop. I will miss the HTC camera app thouggh.

I like sense. If some UI would rival its widget functionality and theming, I might switch....

Id like to run AOSP..But just like the Evo3d the proprietary camera BS will keep me in sense in some form or another..Developers couldn't do anything to keep the 3D cameras and i doubt anything can be done to maintain image sense. :crying:
I completely agree. This phone does not need JB..
I love it completely stock, and the other guys love the roms.
This is a great phone for rooters and non-rooters

I would love to have Google Now, but, I am not willing to give up my Sense keyboard.

Getting the camera working, sure. Getting the camera to utilize the image sense chip in AOSP, I see that not happening. But I've been shocked before so I guess we will see.

Exactly, there's a difference between vanilla JB and JB with a Sense overlay. People aren't seemingly seeing the difference.
And I can live without image sense. As long as the camera can still take the same quality pictures, I'm game for CM10 or CM9. Or AOKP.
OP, I've flashed CM9 and the speed difference hurts my head. It proves that Sense is slowing down this phone. Definitely looking forward to seeing what this phone can really do!
That said, I agree that the phone is terrific as is! Many will be plenty happy without custom ROMs. But many, including myself, are anxious to push this thing to the limits and AOSP will likely do that, performance-wise. I can't wait!

CM6 and 7 certainly graced my EVO 4G with a significant speed increase as well. I guess rooting this phone is next on my list of things to do to this phone--thanks!

Yeah, the speed difference is maybe even more significant to me than EVO 4G stock v. CM7. It was like JB is, just smooth as butter.

I for one, love sense 4!!! I dont think aosp can touch it with a 10 foot pole!!!! Maybe better batt life, and a tiny bit smoother, but still ugly as hell. Sense 4 is perfect. And not ugly! Lol! my opinion. The stock elte is awesome!!!! However, rooting with a new rom gives u endless posibilities.....making your phone look and feel how u want it!

What is ugly about vanilla ICS? Put that same background on your phone, get a sense-like click widget, and most people will be convinced they're running Sense.
I think Google did an amazing job with ICS, looks-wise. I can't wait to try it again one day!
Oh, and the performance is not only a little better. It is WAY better.

I used to feel this way but aosp has matured a lot and I'm.really itching for stock jellybean..there are plenty of nice widgets on the market and it will free up a **** ton of ram that this phone is def in need of

Like i said......in my opinion. I just think its ugly! All of it! It is what it is. Dont hate on a guy for his opinion. I love sense! The whole reason ive owned all htc devices! :thumbup: for the SENSE, and of course its hardware! Lol!

Ill elaborate a little more, like all of the icons, the widgits, the status bar.......and like i said pretty much all of it! Lol! Sense is where its @ 4 me. I know a lot of people wont wanna hear me say stock vanila android is ugly, but i feel that it is! Even the people app, and messaging....its all not even close to being as sexy as sense 4! Again, one guys opinion.

I'm not hating on you at all, I'm genuinely curious. I would love to hear your answer to the first question I asked. Seriously, no harm here. I'm wondering about your thoughts on it.

Ok, i would recognize in a hot second it wasnt sense if i put a sense clock weather widgit on my homescreen. For 1, the status bar, the standing battery is ugly imo, the data bars...all of it up top is not pretty to me. The dock on the bottom, isnt my style, when you open the messaging app, sense is just so much more sexy, and elegent to me, even the people app, i feel the same way about. But they are right, a vanilla non sense rom of course will b smoother, and faster, and less battery draining. But im willing to take a slight hit on those for the looks of sense. I just love it.....and always have.
