3D effect on the Amaze - HTC Amaze 4G

I REMEMBER THIS TWEAK ON THE SENSATION, BUT IT WAS ON CTDROID SETTINGS
THANK TO EBAUL, FOR LETTING ME TO POST THIS, I HAD TRIED IT AND IT WORKS.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO POST THIS, SO IF THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE, FEEL FREE TO REMOVE OR MOVE.
If this has already been posted, please kindly disregard post. I didn't find it any other place, so..!
The way I got it to work on mine is I used SQLLite Editor. You must be rooted obviously.
Go to SQLLite and scroll until you find "Settings Storage" (com.android.providers.settings)
Tap it, then tap settings.db
Then tap system
Tap htc_3d_home_screen, then hit your menu button and select "Edit Record"
Change value from "0" to "1"
Reboot phone
Once phone reboots, look at screen, now move phone side by side and you'll see the so called 3D effect you see on the Evo3D.
Not much, but thought some of you might be interested or curious as to how it would look on the Amaze.
You can always switch that off by doing the same thing, then switching the 1 for a "0", then reboot.
I didn't notice battery change either way, your choice
I guess I'll throw in that famous disclaimer: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE BY MAKING THESE MODIFICATIONS, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO MESS WITH THE DB FILES, READ UPON AND LEARN BEFORE YOU CHANGE ANYTHING. SOME CHANGES CAN AND WILL RENDER YOUR DEVICE USELESS..

How does it look on the amaze? I'm sure it wouldn't look as good as the evo since in order to get 3d you have to increase the Hz and that also impacts on performance xD

It moves with just tilting the screen at an angle pretty cool..

its pretty cool stead than viewing the 3D effect when you scroll sides on the phone you can see it by just moving the phone sideways,
it woud be easier if somebody could make the zip file or the settings like on the sensation stead than doing it this way,

Very nice. I used a similar tweak that did the same thing in a mt4g ROM but it caused instability. I'm sure with the Amaze it shouldn't be an issue though

I had to remove it...it caused instability...just used it for about an hour and it drained my battery about 30%..

Are there not free launchers that do this whither much more simplicity?

I noticed this feature in Virtuous Unity on my MT4G. It was cool for about 10 seconds, but then I realized it was more annoying than useful because I was still trying to read the screen when tilted.

i know i have notice that, why i do to get back straight i touch the weather widget like if im gonna move it, then cancel and done
