[Q] Real 3D homescreen? - HTC EVO 3D

Well, I want to know about the real 3D Homescreen. 2 times I got 3d homescreen but after the phone reboots it goes to normal mode again. Idk if were system errors or what but I think if 2 I got 2 times maybe should be possible to enable this mode?

Are you talking about two separate launchers? (a 3D Launcher vs Stock?) Sorry, your question is somewhat vague but if you can give more details (launcher/ROM) and if by 3D you are talking true 3D (using the 3D feature of the EVO 3D)?

Spb shell has a true qhd 3d homescreen launcher, but it's an experimental feature at the moment and it's a premium price for something which was better 5 years ago on windows mobile (minus 3d ofcourse)

Possibly here, settings/display/3d home screen.
That only changes the tilt of the home screen. Not true stereoscopic 3d.
Google + pertinent info = results

What I meant was 3D stereo on my homescreen. I don't remember how this happened but I got it 2 times.

Unless you have the 3d launcher app I've only seen this happen on a repair at sprint. It looked the the 3d camera effect behind all screens regardless.

Then I would definately take it in if possible. Does your 3d cam work?
On another repair, a malfunctioning 3d cam, I remove and replaced, caused this.

Yes, camera is working as usual.

That happened to be but only because of lagg. I was using the camera in 3D so the stereoscopic was activated. So when I pressed home it took a while to go back to 2D.
It's not mean't to happen it's just a glitch. If it was possible it wouldn't look very good (lower resolution) and battery life would suck

Yeah I have had it happen too with Mikrunny 1.13. Goto 3d cam, lockscreen with slide to lock and it will wake up with a 3d lockscreen

Missing Camera Settings

Hey, I went to the EVO 3D page on HTC's website and was looking around at some How-To's. There was something very interesting under the camera link. It said that there are supposed to be advanced camera settings called "scenes" for action shots, low lighting shots, burst mode, etc. I am assuming this is the camera app that I had on my EVO 4G from one of the Kingdom Ports with the EVO 3D camera. It had things like panoramic shooting, etc.
Why don't we have that on our official EVO 3D cameras? I wanted to check on XDA and see if this was just a bug on my phone or if everybody was missing an sweet camera setting that we should have.
Below is the link for the HTC page that I am talking about. Click the How-To on the Camera and read a few.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo3d-sprint/help/camera
I see settings under menu and also from the magic wand icon on the left. No advanced like you mentioned nor scenes. Did you take OTA updates? I have not
...adjusting to life without the trackball
I did both updates and there are no such options
look at the picture of that Evo3D on the link..Where the hell is my Transparent Rosie? Mine is solid
I dont know what the hell is going on..Its almost like they changed camera software at the last minute..Seems like these scenes disappeared with the 1080p recording at the same time..Must have been another Typo but i think this is grounds for False advertising

My Rosie was transparent until I did the OTA updates and now its solid. I guess it broke it.
Are you 100% sure? My friend didn't do the update and his is solid too

I also did not update, and my rosie is not nor ever has been transparent. None of the available skins provide a transparent rosie either. No transparency to be found. Slightly annoying that a few minor things have changed.

when I hit my wand it says effects distortion,Vignette,dots,dept of field,vintage etc.. Is this what u guys are talking about or is it something else?
I'll guess some web programmer simply copied that page of info from another phone's info.
Yeah, this is a little more than a typo. These are links and how to's about what our phone is supposed to do. Kind of annoying that a phone called the "Shooter" (camera reference) has a downgraded camera app then a phone that came out a few weeks before it. (The Sensation)

HTC has the poorest camera/video smartphone features in the industry.
I communicated with them last August about my dissapointment with my Evo 4G camera with (self-made) charts showing them (what they already knew undoubtedly) comparative smartphone features between Nokia, SonyEriccson, IPhone and Samsung.
They definitively replied (last August) that they knew this and had 'numerous options on the table to address it'.
We of course saw nothing materialize on our 3D...(although the MyTouch Slider will see the first HTC camera upgrade in a month).
So for those that really value even status quo smartphone camera quality, the only options at this point are to move to Samsung ....or the Nexus Prime this fall.
Sad...Ive been an HTC user for 10 yrs.
I contacted htc about this, and some other camera issues. They said that the "scenes" feature would come out in a future update.
This is definatly false advertising.

Yes, I did the same and they mentioned the camera things like panoramic camera, and transparent rosie shown at CTIA were not included on the production release, and they are looking to include these in a future update. Same with the flashlight app and battery widget.
I contacted HTC and was told I didnt know how to use my phone and they would walk me threw getting to these settings. When I proved that they werent there I was told it was a typo of sorts. When I said I can produce Youtube video footage of an HTC employee showing off these features on the EVO 3D my mail went unanswered.

sense in 3d

Not sure if this been discuss before but I had a weird bug happened to me. While looking at a 3d picture when using the twin 3d app. I switched over to my home screen and my screen was in 3d. This lead me to believe that a 3d sense could be created by developer. Has anyone encounter this bug?
This does not count as a bug. A weird thing happened yes not a bug.

That's not a bug, it's a feature.

How is that not a bug? There is a flaw in the program that is causing unintended results!

Oh nevermind I see.
It always happens to me when I back out of something 3D, the screen is still in 3D for a second so the home screen is in 3D till it shuts off the 3D. It is cool though.

[Q] 3D homescreen? customer asked today...

Is there a rom or mod out there that allows your homescreens to render in 3D at all times? he said someone at bestbuy showed him a 3vo with a fully rendered 3D homescreens... i dont believe him lol
That doesn't exist on the evo, can't you move the phone and the home screen will move with the sensor?
Sent from myTouch 4G
i know right??? i dont think he knew what he was talking about myself, but theoretically the screen can render a pic in 3d and switch straight to 2d and then back to 3d, so in theory the homescreen should be able to be rendered in 3d its just changing the second barrier screen isnt it? idk i think the kids crazy lol

which ones? ive seen a few that say they added "3d" settings in display but Viper doesnt have it listed...
does it just use the toggle switch? how does it work in portrait mode? sense does not work in landscape.

This option does not make the screen render in 3D, it simply adds a "tilt" effect when you turn your phone left or right, it just skews the look of the icons to give it a generic 3D effect while still rendering in 2D, not the actual display mode change to 3D.
i usually use launcherpro and it does horiz. home screen.... i would LOVE to play with a 3d ui that can be controlled with the switch!!!!!
*hint devs*
SPB Shell 3D ($14.95 on Market) renders the homescreen in 3D [experimental at the moment]. I haven't yet tried it, as I have used SPB on both Windows Mobile and Android [EVO 4G] and I can't say I liked it all that much.

Camera from HTCAmaze(from Evo3d GSM forums)

Not sure if this should be posted here, but considering it needs some development, and it is in the GSM dev forums, I figured it should go here.
Anyway, a couple of days ago I installed V2 and it worked pretty good, but had a few force closes. At that time there was .apk's to install. Now theyre up to V4, and its a flashable zip that doesnt appear to work on our devices. When flashed through recovery, the flash fails at the Model_id check. Not sure if someone here can fix this so its flashable on our phones? seems like a pretty cool camera.

Here, try this. I swapped out the model with our version of the Evo3D. I haven't flashed it, but you can test.
Note: Standard disclaimer. I take no responsibility, blah blah blah...

Thanks for fixing! I tried flashing your modified version, it flashed fine,but unfortunately it wiped my device and didnt install the new camera. Also broke the lock screen. No biggie, I got a nandroid backup, so all good! Hopefully sac23 will put up the version he tweaked....

That's what I get for not reading it all the way through, sorry about that. It was supposed to format cache, but the block devices are different so it formatted system. I'll update it and take that one down.
Edit: Fixed, it won't nuke your system now. Not sure if those libs that are included are going to work or not. YMMV.

No need to apologize! New version worked great! Well at least I think it did. Not sure about those libs either, guess we'll see!

My guess is those libs are compiled against the kernel for the GSM version and won't work. But...then again they might. Good luck, sir!
So the only thing that doesn't seem to be working is 3d pics. It takes the picture, but then immediately crashes to the desktop. Along with the issues already posted in the GSM section. So far those libs dont seem to be causing any issues. But then again its 5am, haven't really had a chance to really use anything but the camera.

I think the amaze is a 3d camera. You can actually preview the 3d perfectly. Just when you take a pic, it freezes for a few secs and then crashes.

Can anyone report on shutter lag? Only thing I find unusable about the Evo 3D camera: shutter lag is at best (with fastest settings, preview off, etc.) 0.5 seconds.

From the GSM forum......it seems we need updated kernel with ZERO SHUTTER LAG driver included. So, if HTC doesn't give even kernel src for us we have only choice to wait for new STOCK kernel with ZSL driver.
ZSL means fast speed than galaxy s 2 camera?
Thats one thing I miss
Doesn't work for non rooted evo 3D phone.

Yes, the. zip in the 2nd post flashes, and works pretty good, except the camera crashes when taking 3d pics. 2d works great.
Any way to use this without root? And can you install as a separate app? That would be cool.
boom!! from my shooter
Doesnt the MyTouch 4g slide use the same camera? that released right around the time of the E3D too. anyone know if that source got released?
I cant get hdr to work (it takes pic but no different than any other pic), burst wont select, and there were a couple others that didnt work. In 3d mode, in addition to crashing, it doesnt adjust the exposure and alignment is way off so i dont think the amaze has the 3d software programmed.

Force 3D

I know my TV has the ability to force video to 3D. While far from perfect it does help make use of the 3D. Was wondering if anyone has worked on something for the EVO 3D that allows forcing 3D.

That would be cool though, to have everything 3d even if it wasn't perfect.
Our phone does do that, but it doesn't come out good most of the times.
