[Q] Why would I want to root? - HTC EVO 3D

Simple question. Why?
This thread will serve for people which are unsure or don't find it necessary.

I thought you already rooted your phone along time ago lol...

why? because you want to be smart! (lol)
One reason why is because you are a tinker in nature, you don't conform yourself with what you have, you want to push it to the limit, you want to see how far you can take what you have and make it better, or just customise it to how you really would like it to be. You are a person who likes to live on the edge and love the hard way of things, but you love knowledge and you love to make sure you fully understand what it takes to get one of these devices up and running and what other things it can do for you.
You are a playful person in nature, you just want more and don't know how to settle for: "Here you are, just use it how I tell you and everything will be OK"
Those are some of the reasons why I rooted, I hope it points you out in the right direction.

Go to the OP of any rom and look at the features and change logs. Then you will ask yourself "Why am I such an idiot for not rooting sooner?"

to be able to learn about and mod your phone. to get beats, a faster phone, a phone with better battery, stuff like beats, or whatever else htc doesn't watn to give us. cool themeing, etc. if you still dont know why check out the dev section. if you still dont know why, dont.

No bloatware is awesome, skinned out themes & free tether. When I get a new phone I usually run stock for months till the roms develop and I get bored of stock. I just did my 3D recently and I wish I would have did it a long time ago.

With my old phone (motorola motus) there was no question about it - android 1.6 ultrabloated with motorola's policy of supplying updates only to phones under carrier subscription and not to unbranded ones, you -had- to root and install a custom rom to get basically a working phone.
now I got my evo 3d, there are a lot of nifty things that would come with root, mostly removing bloatware and a lot of nice tweaks, yet I'm in the phase "dont want to waste time now and then need to reinstall everything when full working ics comes out", basically the phone is "good enough" as it comes out of the shop, you arent forced to tweak it.

Oh really? The moment I see garbage like CRTV animations, removed this and added that, I leave the ROM thread.

Exactly, I was bored as hell and wanted something to do. Now I've got a rom addiction.

I wanted to root, but with ICS coming around the corner, I think it'd be best to wait for it to come out and, depending on what that does, I may use the HTC Unlocker. Also, I may just do that anyways to I can use the Sprint Hotspot for free.

Why? Because I wanna take control for some feature that I can't get without rooting my phone, I believe by rooting and do some tweak and mod by my self I can get better performance and any unique theme-only-i-have-in-this-world..

Why do dogs lick their balls? Because they can!

Google is your friend... Google "reason to root" if they don't obtain to you, and you don't want full control of your device then don't root, if you want full control of your phone then root....
What are the reasons you spent the money you did on the EVO 3d? To have the latest and the greatest technology in your hands... Why not further that with root?

Defiantly Worth Rooting...
I actually just rooted my 3d after having it and debating about it for some time now... and I'm glad I did! There is absolutely no lag, it's fluidity is astounding, and there is no Sprint bloat on the phone anymore... not to mention to be able to do WiFi Tethering without paying the extra money for it (just a nice bonus).
Hope this helps!

We root because we can. If you dont want to then go get a iPhone.

I rooted my phone because I wanted a faster phone WITH better battery life. Even with the stock kernel, my phone is faster by using a different ROM than stock (I use MeanRom for the record). Plus, the tweaks to the menus (ala Leedroid Tweaks) give you the little things that you did not know you even wanted but now wonder why they are not included in the first place.

Return your 3VO.. why?

Just lookin around, I see a lot of you will return your evo3d if the devs or HTC don't get s off before your 30 day return. Idk why you'd return in it in the first place, I guess for ROMs and recoveries and extra mods. But we got temp root already and the most up to date Rom with any s off device out there is what we have stock, with weaker processor. So if you guys are really picky just gettin a recovery or extra mods, then go. I'm happy with temp root and gettin my root apps. But these are just my thoughts

This is so true I see people saying they're missing they old evos cuz of root and stuff, but why u need it back? To have the Kingdom ROM on.it? U got the original one on the 3d so.is no.need to return it

If anyone is going to make use of his custom roms, they need a flashable device too.
Temp root doesn't work properly: plain and simple. Very few apps actually work under temp root. I have no plans to return my phone but temp root is a non-solution. It's only a stepping stone for devs.

What phone will you get? Unless you're going back to the EVO or switching carriers it seems that the E3D will be rooted before either the SGS2 or Photon are released, the only two phones on Sprint comparable to the E3D.
As far as dev support: once its rooted we will have CM7,8, etc and likely MIUI as long as someone wants to port it over (I'm sure there will be no shortage of people willing to do so). Custom Sense ROMs are a dime a dozen, most are just skinned and don't offer anything new other than having few apps removed/added and maybe a new kernel- there will always be people to put these out. As for the Sense ROMs that are heavily modded and optimized, (I won't name names but they are amongst the most popular in the EVO thread), some of those devs are waiting for root to buy the E3D while others already have them and are holding out for root. We'll have plenty of support either way.
Very true. But I'm confident in all these devs working there butts offs

I want CM. I line it better than anything else out there. I paid for my phone with my hard earned money....I should be able to run CM on it if I want. If HTC doesn't make a phone that will allow me to do that then I will find one that will.
This EVO 3d is way more buggy than any nightly cm7 ROM I ever ran on my EVO. I really regret jumping the gun and selling my EVO. Now I'm going to have to buy another one unlocked and ride out my old contract for another year and then switch to t mobile. Hopefully then i can vet some 4g inside a building.

I would be forced to wait for HTC's next device that comes unlocked. .
Custom ROMs being a dime a dozen is what makes the EVO so popular here on XDA. What I offered may have been useless to you but despite what you think was still very popular as is my Xoom ROM.
ROM development has different people who do different things. We have kernel writers, base ROM makers, and then we have themers. It took all of use to make the EVO what it is today. You don't see Myn writing his own custom kernel for example. We all worked together as a team its not one single person.
Root will come our way. People just need to learn how to be patient and let the devs take their time. There were people that didn't even believe temp root was possible, but look at it now. All I know is that Root will happen one way or another. We have very knowledgeable devs in our community.

Sorry, the second part of my post was not directed at you. I only said it because I have seen people mention that developers are not going to wait around for te E3D to be unlocked. All I meant was that even if some don't, there will always be people around and able to accomplish much of the same things we had on the EVO. Didn't mean to offend though I can see how I may come across that way.
I want s-off for many reasons. Some of you are too dense understand the significance of nand write access so I will only offer my two biggest reasons:
1) I OWN the device. I don't rent or lease the device and my employer did not supply me with any phone(s) nor do they pay my phone bill. It's MY device, I want admin access to MY device.
2) HTC Sense makes me want to friggin vomit. Sense 3.0 is a great improvement but it's still the bloated cow that Sense is and will always be.
edit- I've been running some flavor of CM since I had my Heroc and I must add, in all sincerity, GB on this EVO 3D has more bugs and has been a bigger pain in the butt than any RC or final version of CM. I've actually had a couple random reboots in the last week.. ON STOCK SOFTWARE!!! Not acceptable, imo. But that's Sense for ya.

GSM Evo Themes

Does anyone know if there are a list of custom themes from the themes and apps forum that are compatible with the gsm roms
I would like to know that too, it sucks that there is so little development going on for the GSM version.
I can't agree with you more. Never been on such a quiet section before. It is so dead. I feel that it won't get much better as the phone seems to be just a little outdated already. Luckily the stock Rom is good enough for my personal usage. I still love this phone though. Just the features and the way it feels/built is simply awesome.

I think (hope) it might kick up a notch when the 3VO GSM is released in UK.

It's been out in the UK for sometime - I got it the day it was released.

OMG really? That makes me so sad, I was hoping it would pick up after an UK launch..
I don't understand what that means about the kernel? What difference does that make?
This phone is quite unknown (sadly)...there is little to no advertising for it. Everyone who saw my evo 3d said "wow, your phone is awesome! Which one is it? I've never seen it before!" If more people knew about it's existance, we would probably have more devs..
The bright side: because of it being unknown, It's a special device. Unlike the iPhone... Everybody knows and a lot of people have the iPhone. I like people asking me to see my phone, hold my phone, make pics with my phone, play a 3D game with it, and so on ;p.

True, that is good. However I still rather have more development, like cyanogenmod which is there for cmda now but not for gsm
As much as I love sense, I just like a standard AOSP look. Wanting to root it once those custom kernels come out and install another Rom. Want to block all those unnecessary ads with a custom host file as well. Removal of some bloatware would be a plus. I'm in no rush though as long as it comes. With our specs, the phone can last us another year
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA Premium App
I don't mind too much. I'd rather wait until everything is more stable anyway. Perhaps I'm spoiled coming off a Captivate, but with that phone, if I screwed up, it was super easy to go back to stock, not to mention the thing practically rooted and unlocked itself. Ton of ROMs, Kernels, Radios, etc.
Since I'm not especially knowledgable about flashing, customer kernels, etc. I'd rather wait a while anyway until there's a lot of solid documentation. It's getting there, but I'd imagine once the custom Kernels come out is when the real fun begins.

Anyone else jealous of Sensation these days?

Fully functioning version of 2.3.5 with Sense 3.5, OC GPU, OC L2 Cache, fully working Amaze Camera with Zero shutter lag.

A little Jealousy here. They also have more cm updates.

I agree... would be nice to have these things too.
i do like how the phone looks lol
i have faith in the evo 3d though im sure a year from now we will have massive improvements
same processor as the 3d on the sensation?

Well you have to account for the facts here. Like fact the sensation has gotten a sense 3.5 leak so that explains why you might view theirs as better than the ones here. Though the ports here are damn good if you ask me personally.
Also they have gotten more CM updates likely bc they got first CM alpha about 2weeks before we did. Give it time it'll happen.

Sadly the Evo 3D does kinda feel like a black sheep at the moment..
The main reason they have so many roms is because its a GSM phone. And a popular one on that. All sensation devs from around the world can make a rom and it run on practically any sensation. Us one the other hand are limited cdma, U.S. devs on sprint. Don't get wrong we have some great ****ing devs, we just can't logically match in terms of numbers. And about cm7 I believe both the 3d's and sensation was released on the same day (exact same time). I truely think that we have just as much progress with aosp, its just behind closed doors. I have spoken with some teamwin members and they all have seperate pieces of the build they are working on. Dont forget they are also bringing us twrp 2.0 I hope we get something soon because waiting does suck

yeah you right, i was looking on my phone and just looked at the updated date not the initial post date on our section hence being wrong before.
With that said being the hardware is very similar aside from 3D, it seems that aspect of it is causing the bigest hang up right now. Good thing is toast's last post comented on it saying he had made some good headway on it.
Im not missing anything. Im using infected rom 1.3 and my 3d developed a super camera. Wasnt like this the first couple of times i flashed it tho. Ill post two picks of moving things that were never possible before. The corvette is driving by and the girl was diving on the football.

Sprint Evo3D.
Yea, the EVO 3D development is lacking a helluva lot more than I thought it would be. I figured since the Evo 4G got so much love, the the 3D naturally would. WRONG lol.
I love the phone, but I'll definitely pay more attention to dev support next time. We have a couple nice roms here, MAYBE 1-2 decent themes, but that's it. My phone functioned just as well and looked pretty close to the same when it was unrooted with a custom skin.
So yea, count me in as jealous

Same here. Got the Evo 3d thinking Revolutionary and Devs be all over it but the GSM version turning to be a fizzer. I sold my Evo 3d to get a Sensation but next to the Evo looks crap. So now will wait for Samsung Nexus knowing it will get lots of love. Can't see much of a future for Htc if gets harder and harder for s-off etc.
Yea, I'm jealous too. I gotta admit that there isn't as much dev interest in the Evo 3d as I had expected.
If anything I'm only a tiny bit jealous. We have plenty of devs and plenty of roms here. to my knowledge the only major improvement 2.3.5 brings is NFC and neither of us have a chip for it lol. Moreover Sense 3.5 has a couple little things added but 3.0 runs just fine
Had to re-ignite this because they now have ICS with Sense 3.5
...definitely jealous :-(

Desire HD User want your advise

hello everybody i'am from Desire HD Forum and i want your advise...
i'am thinking to change my DHD with EVO 3D ... but i didn't use it before so i haven't any experience about it only his Specifications,photos and videos.
just want to know is there is a big different between them in performance?
and what about the 3D tech in videos, photos and games is it really interesting ?
Hiya m8,
Having a Desire HD, i know what you mean, and i always wanted an EVO 3D from the off, but since having it i'm finding the development a little lacking, there's some great dev's here don't get me wrong, but opposed to the DHD, it's just not a comparison, the DHD got a lot of attention, something which you'll miss if you make the switch to EVO3D, sorry to put it to you like that, but it's true.
It's up to you at the end of the day and i wouldn't swap my EVO i just thought i'd tell you what i think of it.
Personally given the choice i would go for the XE Sensation. Or wait for the ville, which i believe is going to be heavily developed for.

Now besides the point if it were me this time of yr would be the worst time to get a phone. New stuff will be out within a few months that's even better. Also I wouldn't buy a non LTE device right now either less you were okay being on short stick in future...

The problem is the 3d camera! plain and simple, it's going to cause developing problems, problems which don't seem to be troubling the sensation thread, nor the DHD thread. That's what i mean, plus developers like Coredroid and RCMIX, and P3D are not present on the EVO3D, plus most of the threads are still on release one.
The one's which aren't haven't moved much, they're trying, they really are, but there's usually a lot more dev's on the phone's that i've had that's all, not having a go, it's just a fact.

The one's which aren't haven't moved much, they're trying, they really are, but there's usually a lot more dev's on the phone's that i've had that's all, not having a go, it's just a fact.

Umm take those 3 devs and ill give you many more here that do magical things!!! Only thing sensation has over the 3D is the build leaks it gets and all...
Most threads on release one? Now I know your not looking. What do you mean by not moving much? Makes no sense at all. Again I'm not seeing anything that isn't offered here that you could want besides fully working ICS/CM9 but that will come with source as always anyways...4G doubtfull but everything else will come along.
I might have to retract that all if ur talking about gsm version only as I don't follow that side as much and know there are not as many threads there, so if that's the case then so be it...

who the **** cares about 3D anyways? seriously.
and to the OP, are you CDMA or GSM?
all the threads are on RLS1... well lets see.... off the top of my head the first one that comes to mind is myns warm ROM.
....which had about 495 updates through a nightly vpn before being "released".... d3rp

Once official ICS is released for out phones, things like like 3d and 4g will most likely get sorted out.

i'am thinking to change my DHD with EVO 3D ... but i didn't use it before so i haven't any experience about it only his Specifications,photos and videos.
just want to know is there is a big different between them in performance?
and what about the 3D tech in videos, photos and games is it really interesting ?

i myself was a dhd owner ..now using 3d. and must say i like it alot. plus 3d pics+dual core+better resolution+1gb ram. for day to day use this is the best. but if you are interested in roms then its still a good choice but not better than sensation as the guys covered it had more ruu leaks and doesnt suffer from developing the 3d function. but i love the 3d
thnx very much guys for your advises...,
i think Sensation XE will be better choice,
in my country both of them at the same price.
i wan thinking about the sensation too, but i'm afraid because i read in some reviews it gets hot and here in summer i guess it would be a real problem
as for the performance i guess both the sensation (xe or not) and the evo 3d are almost identical

The Previous Sentence Is A LIE.

Loads of roms in the GSM section.
MDJ left recently becuase just one, yes just one person, insulted him. The hundreds and hundreds of grateful posters didn't count for anything. Seems a shame.
Well, it's not really dead, yet.
Keyword yet..
There's still a few Devs on there that update their ROMs, but I find that there isn't really anything to choose from anymore.
any working dev have the stockish rom with a few tweaks.. like v6 charger and stuff.. nothing too special..
anryl has some work but he's busy too.. yea mdeejay left *can anyone temme what happened?*
chad was a good dev.. too bad about what happened..
last of what i heard, leedroid doesnt have a 3d anymore..
even cdma has more roms.. *they're all the same kinda roms but still*
wtf did xda do ._.

I guess since the ICS came out everyone just decided to leave. CDMA will stay alive as long as Dropzeroc and il Duce are still supporting their Rom. It's one of the biggest roms out there (In my opinion)

Yeah, not very fair..

I've also noticed Evo 3d appears to be dying. Well, at least slowing down at the moment.
Don't upgrade just because that's what others are doing, especially if you can't afford to. It's a good phone. Hopefully more development will start on cdma/gsm. The specs on this phone are good. I came from the Nexus S 4G which has weaker specs but the development was good. We have plenty of Sense, but it would be cool to see more AOSP roms for the 3D though. I would think about Android development, but I've only compiled a rom and moved apks into an existing Rom etc. Unless someone wants to show me the ropes. More development the longer the relevance.

I thought I won't have to buy a new phone for at least 2 yrs to have newest android version. Here in polish reality its quite a big amount of money to spend to have such a phone. Sensation seems to have more devs but it has a bit worse specification. Don't want to upgrade, it costs too much. I'd buy nexus but it's design and battery sucks. Also sense is important to me. I could resign from 3d functions (who needs it...) to have always newest android version. Would be great. But I see many people outside of Poland upgrade their phones just if there comes a new one... I want to keep mine working for a few years, I'm happy with it. I don't belive the new Android will need tegra 3 to work properly. Two cores at 1.2 GHz really lasts for me. Only software is the problem I see.
Please correct my english mistakes, I'll be gateful

Same in Czech. Such phones are just too expensive.

but its not jus another phone that i can upgrade..
i'd only upgrade when there's a quad core based 3d phone.. otherwise its not really an "upgrade"..
i think htc should come up with a real successor to evo3d.. i know i'd buy it..
like a high end sorta phone.. not like lg.. ._.
It's funny, since Jelly Bean was released, I've been wanting to give up on my Evo 3D and get a Galaxy Nexus. HTC is really being lazy with our phone (I have the GSM version) and it took them EIGHT freaking months to release ICS. That's way too much time, especially given the development pace of Android these last few months. I can't even imagine if they decide to release JB or not. Probably not though. *sigh*
It's a shame because I really think the Evo 3D is a great piece of hardware and is capable of running JB just fine. And the 3D features give it a little something more over the competition (even though, I'll admit it, they're not essential).
Not to mention LeeDroid being absent (for personal reasons I totally understand, don't get me wrong here), the GSM scene only has a couple of decent ICS roms. Having browsed both threads, they don't seem as polished as LeeDroid's (no offense to the devs').
But anyway, sorry for my rant here. Just my 2 cents.
CDMA 3D's havent even received an official ICS update yet, but to compensate that we have some great development around, Virus makes multi (GSM/CDMA) 3D roms (sense 4) they are nightlys but pretty stable for the most part, and we have a port of JB on the 3D but nothing on the LTE not even official CM support just tweaked up stock roms atm

Evo 3D gsm is/has been dead, all the stuff the great devs on this section have done is given it to us and do as we please with it. I'm still running gingerbread for a daily driver ROM which is so good that even people with Jelly Bean nexus' struggle to understand how its this good
HTC don't help with releasing kernel sources 90 days after they release a ROM (policy ...wtf to that one)
Expelling people didn't help either, although this isn't about that because if someone goes USUALLY another person fills the gap but in this case because the Evo 3D forums are so opinionated nobody is interested
Long story short, 4chan 2.0.
