But given the phone in question the HTC EVO 3D dosnt it seem pointless releasing roms where things like 3d games dont work 3d camera dont work 3d pics dont work i mean that is why we bought the phone after all

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.

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..
So I've been selling Evo3ds at my job now for awhile, and when someone asked me anything about the 3D I said it was a joke but the phone was worth it's weight in gold from the hardware inside. Then last week I downloaded this youtube video in 720p and watched it on my phone. Normally I don't post and leach all day but if anyone wants to see what a video should look like on a 3d screen, give this one a shot.

I never said I had a problem with it. Just saying I don't use it. Bluetooth is standard on all phones now, so it can't be a gimmick, the 3D on the other hand is a gimmick because they tried to use it as a selling point where less than 10% of the users will use it. And yes I think siri is a gimmick along the same lines, less than 10% will actually use it.

Ha technology advances and has to start somewhere. Bluetooth wasnt standard on everyphone when it was invented. I bet only high dollar phones had it. Same as touch screen and HD, people are happy without them but most phones these days have both. So in a few years every phone might be 3d, so u will look dumb calling it a gimmick.

Doubt I'll look dumb. Here's the definition of gimmick, as you can clearly see by definition it IS a gimmick:
Code:
[B]gim·mick[/B][I] noun[/I] \ˈgi-mik\
a: an important feature that is not immediately apparent
b: an ingenious and usually new scheme or angle
c: a trick or device used to attract business or attention <a marketing gimmick>
a: hmm, important feature? I'd say not now, but it could be I'll give you that
b: it is an ingenious design sure
c: a trick used to attract attention, 100% exactly what it is at this point (but I'll give you that it may become standard on all phones at some point, but remember Bluetooth was a gimmick on the first phones that used it also.)
Well words can stray from their actual definition depending on their context. Not saying u meant it any different but most people (as i take it) could sub in the term "rip-off" for gimmick in their sentences. Which i dont think is fair to say about this great phone when someone ask how good something is.

on vids and pics it's semi-useful (especially in places where depth is needed, like filming sports, action, taking pics of action, etc.) but i love it on games. you dont have to guess on how far away something is by its size. you actually can tell how far it is.

It's kind of a gimmick.. and I'm sure it hurt sales as people thought that everything on the phone was in 3D.
Personally I think it's nice for movies and gimmicky for your own content. But I bought the phone because of its specs anyway, so if I lost the 3D option I'd be ok.
It should have been marketed as an added feature but once it got incorporated into the official title of phone it became the main attraction (gimmicky). Doesn't mean it isn't a good phone but it put many off before it was even released. It should have been a "featured player" instead of a "reoccurring cast member".
I rock 3d pics often, why not, might as well...
A good way to show off your phone..
Even if lacking 3d the phones specs are beast,
Could of been designed a lil better in the asthetic department, the camera button poking out, the camera on the back is asking to be broken or scratched up, it sticks out decently far. I rock a otterbox defender tho so these problems are "covered up" literally...

Yeah, I have one friend who's presently phone shopping who won't consider the Evo3D because of the 3D feature. Basically she thinks it's goofy, just kind of rolled her eyes when the guy at the store described it. I told her everything else about the phone is awesome, but she couldn't get past the marketing, which focuses pretty much entirely on the 3D.

Ok so the Evo3D has been around a few months now. It's had many developments through this great site, tweaks, changed bootloaders, ROMS etc.
But my question to you is this....
In your own personal opinion, what is the worst thing about the Evo3D you own. Also what is the best thing about your phone.
I am curious to see if we get a trending pattern, or if everyones opinions differ drastically.
Best thing.....Evo 3D
Worst thing.....No s-off Hboot 1.49.0011, 0012 and 0013.
Worst..speakers. Best...screen.
Worst: I'd say speaker but really I didn't expect much from it; let's go with shutter lag on camera instead.
Best: The screen; 'cause god damn.
Best- the phone. Worst- it cant cook
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Well for me the best part has gotta be the 3D. Although I don't use it as much as I expected I would, it still impresses anyone who sees it.
The worst would be battery life. Now this is a Android trait so I can't complain too much, but that's all I can think of so far.
Best: Good Screen, Dual core phone...
Worst: the camera button, Speakers and the camera Lense it can break/scratch easily..
Over all I am happy with this device...
I feel like I'm the only one who doesnt complain about speaker volume lol.
Best - Apps like Zumocast or emulators
Worst - Bluetooth stack on sense
best: screen res, 3d, dualcore, sense 3.0, etc.
worst: thickness, speaker, battery life, and fukin m10's
also, it's not an iphone
[/s]
Best - EVO 3D in general i love it.. i dont know why say battery life is bad.. my battery yesterday since 8 o´clock in the morning till 12:30 in the night it was at 35%... thats really good life for a bat.. u should use a DHD and see what a short bat...
Worst - Development and coocking.. GSM have very poor coock yet, if we compare to CDMA!

If you look at total views in Gsm dev thread there must be a lot of lurkers waiting for s-off etc. A lot of Evo 3ds out there on other Hboots that Revolutionary doesnt support.

I'm just following with interest now the Evos threads and think you are right. Everything works fine on the Evo 3d but the Dev future for Gsm looks grim.
Coming from an EVO 4G:
Best thing - extra speed and storage
Worst thing - Hboot 1.5 / no S-OFF & side USB plugin.
Btw, anyone with Hboot 1.5 should seriously check out Flash Image GUI to flash kernels, etc. directly from within Android easily without having to use ADB/command prompt method.
Hello,
I wan to buy a evo 3d for my birthday.
Can anybody explain me why I have to buy it? And why not? (+/-)
Are games like GTA avaidable and playable? I have a itouch 2g now and im getting sick of the error not avaidable. And a Wildfire, Same problem
Hoe good are the 3D effects? Comes it Out your screen?
Are there 3D games and movies avaidable?
The difference between the evo and the sensation?
Thank you.
Evo 3D is a good phone, a bit heavy and steady, 3D is good and effective but not "impressive" (you have to find yourself at the very right location, unlike a 3D screen with glasses) and the 2D / 3D camera... just sucks : blurry, laggy, a hell of a deception. For that matter, choose another model or brand.
Kochise
when is your birthday and how much are you willing to spend?
the 3d is a great phone but its almost 1 yr old and thats pretty dated in technology world. But up to you, im happy with my phone as it outperforms anything thats comparable in specs. but to each his own
Because it doesnt look like the other phones and its so thick, fat, big and radical
Anyway the Backside is sexy
@ktrotter11
The Evo isnt one year old... 6 months
If you're interested in seeing the 3D effects, no one here can really justify an answer. It's really something you just have to experience yourself, and judge whether you like it or not. Not everyone is able to see it well. I, myself, have no problems with it at all. I could watch an entire movie on it and not get a headache or anything.
My suggestion (not sure how it works where you're from), go to your carrier's store and play around with one. If that's not possible, see if anyone you know has one and play around with it for a few minutes.
I started a similar topic just now :/

You should look somewhere in a store if you like the 3D. If you want a good camera and dont like the 3D so much, then you could better buy a Sensation or some other phone. For me the extra RAM was a big plus of the Evo 3D, but 1gb is kinda standard on the phones from now. Games like GTA will be playable for sure, but think some older phones might also with some lag moments sometimes.

The price in my country for the Evo 3d is €350, or in dollars $463.
The Sensation cost € 382,50, and in dollars $507.
Phones like the samsung g S2 cost € 466, $617,61
I hope I can get €200 (total) for my old phone and Ipod, and i get around €100 from my parents.
I maybe sometimes got a bit feeling that its coming out the screen, most of the time you can see depth in the screen.
Lol Sensation is an older phone, if you wont use camera a lot then the Evo is better for sure.
So before I buy the Evo from Asda in the UK. What's the issue with hboot 1.49 based phones? Do they have a mad mobo or something?
If you do little bit research on xda and google, you can find how many people return them, I should done research first, same me time for transfering all data to evo and back to dhd, dhd is THE BEST...

I have a Evo 3D myself but would prefer the Galaxy nexus given a chance:
- If you are into rooting, Evo 3D has (IMO) best choice and variety of ROM's and has one of the most active developer community.
- There are 3D games and movies available and for a first time viewer/player, you would be enthralled. It could cause eye pain if prolonged viewing.
- Has a microSD and thus unlimited storage (Nexus does not)
However, do remember that Evo3D is nearing a year since its release which in cell phone terms means almost nearing end of life.
-- Just my 2 cents!

Any product can have a problem... why didn't you take it back and ask for a replacement? If you got a second one and it did the same.. surely then you would be in a position to complain about it and be a little respected?
I'm sorry you had an issue (I'm not an Evo 3D owner), but this really isn't fair on the product.
Is it because of missing sources? if yes, which sources? Android? sense? HTC misc?
Just want to know what the problem is!
All Rom devs are doing a great job!
Gesendet von meinem HTC EVO 3D X515m mit Tapatalk 2
I don't really have an answer for this question, but out of curiosity - how much 3D did people actually use with their phones?
I ask this because I used to put off upgrading from the stock ROM simply because of the lack of 3D support, but what changed my mind was that I realized I almost never used my phone in 3D mode. I couldn't share pics with my friends because none of them had many, if any, 3D capable devices!
Obviously it's not that easy, if it was I would think some developer would have a fix for it long ago, I couldn't careless about 3d anyways, used it maybe twice
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Good point and there are more useful aspects for 3d like wallpapers and boot animations. As for sources its a HTC and android thing. Unless we can petition HTC and android to release source code there will be no 3d. I can live without it.
There's is a 3d bootanimation that works and also wallpapers, 3d movies suck, games suck, and pictures also suck, 3d is just a passing fad just like bell bottom jeans & hippies, I bought the Evo solely for it's cpu and ram

I don't really have an answer for this question, but out of curiosity - how much 3D did people actually use with their phones?
I ask this because I used to put off upgrading from the stock ROM simply because of the lack of 3D support, but what changed my mind was that I realized I almost never used my phone in 3D mode. I couldn't share pics with my friends because none of them had many, if any, 3D capable devices!

I use that only when girls are around xD. They are impressed. 3D is for those who don't have others things to impress them xD. Btw it is because of sources
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using xda premium

Hahaha yes the 3D is definitely one of the things I use to impress people with my phone. I even convinced one of my colleagues to buy the same phone as mine because he was that impressed
never thought of using my phone that way. so its also a pick-up device or a wing man (phone) lol. damn, a guy will try anything huh?
I think its not a question of "Why should I use 3D? Its an unneeded feature."
My opinion is, that a custom ROM should make use of all features the phone has Besides I know that is very difficult to code it.
So from my understanding it is HTC, not releasing the source of Sense which makes some hardware specific calls (maybe in c language?) to use 3D display and camera. Am I right?
I'll admit I don't use the 3D as much. but since the main reason why my phone has a rectangular "pop-out" is because of the 3D camera, I like to see it.
3D is a nice feature to have, but it's like one of those rare things i use when I'm on vacation or something really cool happens.
Yeah I believe it was sources ARGH D: If only there was a way around
A lot of the ROMS also have 4G not working properly, but most are fixing it i believe.
