I know most of you in this forum are former evo4g'ers; how are you dealing with a stock phone for the last week?
Any regrets about moving to the 3d?
I've gone to the store a few times to see if I could get excited about it, but, It keeps coming back to a rooted phone, or a stock phone..
The talented devs here will most certainly figure this out eventually, but, it appears that this phone is taking much longer than most others to get root..
Do you wish you would have waited until there is root, or, is this new guy enough fun as stock?
thanks for your feedback!
What's Flashing? Honestly this bad boy is enough fun for me as is right now. May only root to remove bloatware honestly.
I miss bloat-free operation, better battery life, and wireless tether. Other than that, the phone is quite incredible. In my mind, other than the 3D which is way cool, the 3vo is just a "little" better than its older brother. Once the 3vo gets root though, it'll wipe the floor with the 4G. I see the Sense overhead as a major drawback, so 3vo-with-sense barely beats Evo-with-AOSP. When the 3vo gets root and I can put a good AOSP ROM on it: KNOCK OUT!

I don't. I still have my Evo 4G and a Nexus One lol. Rockin the CM 7.1 RC :-D.
if i could at least get temp root, i could deal with that for a while
i can wait on flashing custom roms, but i miss the programs that at least needed root
But im not tripping, i'll give the devs about 3 more weeks to work it out before I return my phone, then back to my rooted CM7 evo 4G
I just want to be able to take all the bloatware off as well. Plus custom themes and boot animations are also nice
I'm actually happy being able to run my phone and not have to worry about what bugs the current Rom I'm using may cause.
I was quite the flash-aholic with the EVO, and the 3 devices before that. This one works really well without flashing. I could actually use this one stock.
Of course, it will take me about 5 seconds to flash something as soon as it becomes available and rooting is definately on the agenda for tethering, etc.
No regrets on my evo3d purchase, but I am reading every post on the root thread. I gave my evo running deck's ROM to my daughter and I expect shell put up a fight if I wanted it back.
Drugs. I'm not looking forward to those withdrawals though once I'm able to flash again...

Isn't that a bit like firing the starting pistol before the runners have even arrived for the race?
I don't have any flash withdrawls. Flashing repeatedly gives you bad blocks. no thanks.

I just cant decide if I should wait awhile to get one, or, am I 100% certain that root will be achieved..I can't imagine many folks will rest at night until it is..

You don't need root to remove bloatware apps.

I think I can speak for most people here when I describe the feeling... I dunno, its like every little once in awhile I try to forget how much more awesome root access would be... But in the end the urge always returns. I guess its like being a vampire who is trying a synthetic blood... I find myself returning to the dev sections in the supersonic forums just to see what they've been cooking up.
The withdrawal will be short lived though (thank GOD) when they finally unlock the bootloader. I know for a fact the majority of people who made the switch will get root. Its a necessary evil LOL. Until then I'll accept my false sense of root security and enjoy a solid build for once
I miss cm7, wireless tether, better battery life, being able to hear my phone ring when It's in my pocket, and easier to press volume buttons.
I sold my rooted EVO tho... Might take this phone back and rock my sisters old hero until this phone gets rooted and at least the external speaker volume gets better or a better phone comes out.

Alright, there's a lot of talk about how to improve battery, and which ROMS will do that. After trying different ROMS, Kernels, and mods, I have finally found what *I* think is brilliant.
For the ROM, flash vipers 1.3 located here.
Once the ROM is flashed, go to the terminal app, type "su" , followed by "vc". That will get you to vipers control script(s). Get familiar with it. Now go install launcherpro from the market, or adw.launcher, whatever launcher you prefer. Once that launcher is *set as default* go back to terminal. Once you type su and vc, press 3. Then continue to press 1-4, I kept the lockscreen . That will free up *tons* of RAM. Beforehand I had around ~200, now I am consistently at ~350.
With that and the oc daemon, you phone should run smooth and pretty good battery. Now were going to flash a differnet kernel. Some will disagree with me, saying that flashing a SBC kernel is dangerous. Yes, it was on the Evo 4g. But how it works on the 3D is different from the 4g. *For some odd reason, the SBC thread seems to have gone missing. I'm guessing it was moved to another section. So, here is the direct download link to the best copy at the moment, here. If you don't want to flash a SBC kernel, go ahead and stick with Stock, OC does not do to much with a monster phone like this.
With that combo, I have had my phone on for 4.5 Hours with reddit, web, texting, and 2 calls. The battery? 91%.
This can obviously be improved by the community. What do you guys think we should add?
Biofall has also made a thread with some more simple tricks, that hopefully you have in use already. You can check out his thread here.

I've wanted to root just because im a mod junkie but hadnt seen much to really kick me in the boot to get going yet. I have pretty solid battery life and performance on stock, but I do miss my Ti BU and SetCPU (more less just to have fun on benchmarks).

Has anyone tried Zeam Launcher on the EVO 3D? I keep trying it when I try other roms, but no matter what it is extremely laggy on the app screen.

So you you used reddit, texed, web and 2 calls in 10 minutes time and the rest standby? I can understand.
I recently flashed my Samsung Fascinate with PowerWashed Team's PWGB Version 2.0 (Beta 3). I'm terribly new to using custom ROMs, but I'm quite pleased with the results. I've only had one concern with this ROM regarding the back light on the soft keys. They light up every time I touch my screen or press a hard key.
I've attempted to find a setting for this in the OS and in CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x screen, but wasn't able to find such a setting (Again, I'm very green so it could be right under my nose and I simply don't know it.)
I also attempted to install myriad apps to keep the back light off on screen touch including:
Screen Filter (No effect)
Night Mode (No effect)
Light Flow Lite - LED Control (No effect)
Light Manager - LED Settings (This app actually stops the back light from coming on, however it's unpredictable and works >15% of the time)
I've also done a lot of searching on the matter. I've seen where others have stated the problem, but none where there was a solution or enough information for me to further investigate a way to fix this. It's also been complicated to find information due to a variety of search terms (soft keys, led, etc.) yielding results about the camera or other things that are unrelated to my issue coupled with my lack of direct knowledge on the matter.
I'd really appreciate any advice on either directly fixing this or a source of information so I may learn more from what is causing this behavior and fixing it myself. Thanks, everyone for all the time and effort you've put in for making things like this accessible to individuals like me. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
This behavior is a product of the kernel, and most people find it desirable. If you install the kernel control app nstools, you should see an option called cmled timeout, allowing you to set the led backlight timeout.

Thanks for the information! Unfortunately, the ROM I flashed has a stock kernel and doesn't offer this option. So, I suppose that's the first thing I need to address, but now I know where the problem lies! Thank you so much for your time and input, I'll put it to good use.
Are you saying the back lights light up even if you just touch the screen? That's strange, they only have ever lit up for me when I actually touch a soft key or hit the power button to wake the phone up.
Well good luck, I'm not sure what kernel is best for GB as I started flashing custom roms during ICS and I'm now on Jelly Bean and never going backwards.

Yes, exactly this. It is really odd and very bothersome when trying to read at night. Even if I use the volume rocker to turn the page the lights will come on. It's maddening. I'm currently looking at the kgb kernel, but I think the nstools led option isn't actually going to address this quirk. (Directly, I believe I will end up disabling the led altogether)
If you don't mind, what rom did you choose?(Ignore, I was on mobile and did not see your signature at the time)
How has the performance been? I'm interested in doing the same, but was afraid my fascinate wouldn't handle jb very well.
Well needless to say it's different for everybody when it comes to roms, sometimes your phone will have no problem running a certain rom where as someone else's might not even boot. As for myself I've been pretty fortunate and have been able to try any rom I've wanted to with success, and I'll give you a few of my thoughts on it.
If you're wondering about performance, well simply put JB blows everything else away and runs like a dream on the Fascinate. Once you spend a few days with it you'll never want to go back honestly. Even on our aging hardware, it runs amazingly fast, even without kernel performance tweaks.
Anyway, as far as roms go, if you're most concerned with stability and reliability then I would highly suggest CM10 (whatever the latest nightly version is). Of all the roms I've tried, it's by far the one that's given me the least hassle. That said, I'm quite fond of the tweaks offered in AOKP, mainly the voltage settings (for battery life) and the fact that it seems to vibe much better with Devil kernel than CM10 does. I've been running my current rom/kernel for a couple of weeks now, and I'm happy enough with how it's running to keep it as my daily driver for a while.
This isn't to say the GB roms aren't any good, because of course they are, but considering how nice JB roms run on our phone you'd be doing a disservice by not at least giving them a shot.

You sold me on the idea of JB. Flashed it today, and I love it so far. Plus, my soft key lights aren't constantly on! Win-win.
Thank you so much for the guidance. Your input helped turn a satisfactory experience with ROMs into a trully positive one.
Glad to hear you liked it man, I was reluctant at first too due to (at the time) no 'official' releases, but I'm glad I made the jump. I'm quite enjoying AOKP M1 and will probably stay on it for a long time. Which rom did you end up trying?

I was really impressed with your review, so I chose to go with the same rom. It also seemed like the most stable option and easiest for me to understand the installation procedure (very important for me since this is my only device and more than just my daily driver, it's my life line). I had been extremely hesitant to go to JB for fear of junking my phone up, but I'm really glad I took the extra risk. I just needed an extra bit of encouragement. Thanks again for all your input!
If you managed to install AOKP smoothly you can pretty much install any rom the same way, basically meaning wipe data and cache/davlik then flash whatever you want to. Luckily this phone happens to be very hard to break, and you'd have to do something pretty extreme to brick it. I highly recommend Titanium backup pro so you can just backup the apps you want, and restore them in no time when you're trying different roms. Also, I've been using some voltage settings that make battery life insanely good, so if you're interested in doing that let me know and I'll post them.

Regarding the key back light, since you are on aokp jellybean now if you still want to tweak the settings, goto settings and then device settings. There you can adjust the timeout on them

When I try to delete something (T-Mobile's loud bootanimation jingle), or try to add something (busybox as a system app), the phone reboots. Also, busybox binaries aren't able to install. AdAway doesn't stay enabled after a reboot. I'm unlocked+rooted+TWRP recovery.
Anyone have a clue whats going on?
EDIT: Flashing a kernel and/or rom that has system write enabled fixes this issue.
I think has to do with S-On being enabled. At least with Adaway.
Seems like an issue with Sense, that'd be my first guess. I know I was having this issue with a previous phone. Sense is linked into a LOT.

I had a HTC G2/DZ, and was able to get s-off via gfree (using command prompt -- ANNOYING). How and when are we able to get s-off for the M7-UL? And does S-off = NAND protected meaning little to no system changes?
Look at the HTC one sub forums. You have to install one of the Roms there to get system write. The HTC one over seas is the same as the tmo one. When I get mine next week, I will be using their roms.

I would, but I keep hearing about radio/RIL+signal issues. But I guess I can just backup my current rom and test out those International ROMs to see if I have any issues. Will report back later.
Aren't there kernels that enable system r/w? I'm not sure if it would mess up WiFi calling thoigh. Is there anything in the kernel for WiFi calling that would be lost with one of the custom kernels?

I'm not sure. I've always been flashing kernels, but never heard about enabling system r/w. I just flash them to get better performance and to tweak it via kernel app.
I've been running ARHD with a custom kernel (for logo2menu) for the last half day, no problems yet. Signal has given me no problems. Switches between 3G/4G here at work, but all my TMO phones have done that simply due to HSPA+ not being so strong here. Even stock ROM did it, even though it always insisted on saying 4G even when it was on UMTS.

Definitely coverage. It happens even while I'm using data at times. My work is on the fringe of HSPA+ coverage in this area. When I head into the city, it stays on H+ pretty consistently.

He's correct. 3G = Idle/sleep data -- 4G/H+ = Active data. But our phone just shows 4G constantly, instead of the on/off switch. But what your explaining sounds off. Never seen that, and I just came from a GNex with the 3G/H+ switch.
But anyways, back on topic. I will try tweaked a Sense 5.0 rom when I get home soon. Is there a kernel with touch2wake (screen or htc logo)? Hate where htc placed the power button (i'm right handed, as most ppl).

Well if it helps, I always mean UMTS when I say 3G and always mean HSPA+ when I say 4G. Since that's all I really see around here, besides 2G (Edge) of course.
And I thought I saw a kernel or two with touch2wake, but I could be wrong. I'm using the tbalden kernel which offers a few different tweaks like that (though I only specifically remember volume wake and logo2menu).
Edit: Just checked, and it only had home2wake. Although I imagine if you look at the files used for home2wake and logo2menu, you could probably make one that does logo2wake.

Here's a kernel from the international forum.. I think it'd work but I really dont know. I haven't got my phone yet. It says system write. Probably worth trying though
All HTC One firmware should work on our phone. Unless you flash a radio with the Rom, which is impossible ATM. I'm using trickdroid 5.1 and everything is working fine, apns and all!
Trickdroid has holding the back button as a menu button and it works fine. I'd rather stay on the stock kernel unless someone makes a kernel that is way different than stock.
I do have the tmobile version!

they put the power button there because the power button is also a IR sensor for a TV remote and stuff. I like having the power button on top more since holding the phone up right, you can sometimes hit the power button and not mean too. This is if the power button is on the side. I hit the power button my Nexus 4 1 or 2 times aday because i didn't mean to because it covered by my hand holding the phone.

Here's a kernel from the international forum.. I think it'd work but I really dont know. I haven't got my phone yet. It says system write. Probably worth trying though

All HTC One firmware should work on our phone. Unless you flash a radio with the Rom, which is impossible ATM. I'm using trickdroid 5.1 and everything is working fine, apns and all!
Trickdroid has holding the back button as a menu button and it works fine. I'd rather stay on the stock kernel unless someone makes a kernel that is way different than stock.
I do have the tmobile version!

Keep hearing about trickdroid. Might be my first rom to test out on this phone. Glad to hear its working well for you. And the funny thing is, I like to see the on-screen menu button. I'm coming from the GNex with on-screen buttons. So "seeing" the menu button in a "legacy" app is really nice instead of "guessing" there might be a menu. Wish all apps followed Google's App Guidelines by now.

they put the power button there because the power button is also a IR sensor for a TV remote and stuff. I like having the power button on top more since holding the phone up right, you can sometimes hit the power button and not mean too. This is if the power button is on the side.

Well I know about the IR sensor. But I was saying its in a bad spot on the TOP. It should be on the right side on the TOP, so you can easily hit it with your trigger finger. Now I have to awkwardly hit the power button. The right side of the phone would've been nice also. That;s why I can't wait to flash a kernel with touch2wake (double tap the screen or tap the htc logo).
Definitely can second the TrickDroid recommendation, although there aren't huge differentiators between any of the international ROMs I've tried (TrickDroid, Android Revolution, OrDroid). Many of the tweaks are available as standalone flashables or through Xposed framework too, if you're familiar with that.
As for kernels, I'm using tbalden's kernel. It has both menu on HTC logo and touch to wake, though I don't use the latter.
Basically if you're interested in ROMs/kernels, don't waste your time here, go to the international One forum. As others have mentioned, all international ROMs work on all GSM variants of the One, including ours.

I've already have (rom+kernel). Check the sig .. But hopefully we start to get some great Tmo based roms. Or atleast some kinda internal stuff in the rom to enable during the flash/aroma process.
I'm hoping someone else has already solved this issue, but I seem to be running into serious problems with AOSP CM ROMs with regards to the power button. Recently I actually bricked my original EVO 4G LTE and got a "new" one via the insurance replacement program with Sprint. I immediately obtained rooted, installed recovery, and obtained S-off. I then proceeded to install CM10.2 (deck's build) and am actually still running 9/20 version of this ROM.
My problem with the power-button is that it sometimes does not respond to a press where it may not wake the screen or sleep the screen. Sometimes it takes 2, 3 or more presses to get it to respond. Additionally, sometimes after the screen sleeps it will immediately wake again. It's as if the button is not properly de-bounced. My first thought was that the power-button was physically broken.
So as an experiment I rolled back to previous versions of CM10.1 and got the same results, even after clean flashes. Then I tried rolling back the stock ROM which came with the phone, from a nandroid backup. Shockingly, no power button issues at all. So with a sense based ROM, it seems to work perfectly, but a AOSP based ROM (specifically, CM10.x) I see the issues.
Could this be a kernel issue? Anyone else seen or resolved this issue already?
Thanks. Sincerely,
Frustrated.
Yeah I have that sometimes too although occasionally it won't even wake up and will have shut off by itself

Promising update.
I updated the latest TP firmware from Captain Throwback, on a whim. While it doesn't seem to have fixed the issue, it seems much improved. The jury is still out - and it's only been an hour or so since I installed, so this is hardly enough data to say definitively. But promising.

Yup, spoke too soon. Still having issues. The search continues.
I just got a replacement evo lte and my power button sucks.. I gotta hold it down for a few seconds to wake or lock and that was before root.. I'm rooted now and on sense 5 r145 but I use the swipe to unlock and lock and it works great.. I said forget the power button...

So your power button was bad with the stock ROM too? That's a bummer. At least mine seems to work OK with the stock ROM. Maybe I should try some modified stock ROMs to see if there is a difference there.
You're not alone. My brother and I both have EVO's and we're both experiencing this issue. It's annoying as hell having to press the power button multiple times to wake the device. Didn't start having this issue until the end of the CM.1 cycle. I also went back to Sense and found no problems. It only appears to occur on non sense ROMs. Does anyone have any insight to this or possibly a fix?
It's a kernel issue. That problem did not pop up until the 3.4 kernels started coming out.

Well that's great news (sort-of) and means that some day someone could potentially resolve this in the kernel. Maybe we need to X-Post with the CM10.2 development forum, unless they are already aware and are working on this.

There were certain nightly/kernel mixes with the 10.2 and Haunted kernel that seemed to clear it up for me.
I can't for the life of me remember which combination. Sorry.
One thing that alleviated that for me a bit was enabling "Volume Buttons Wake Up Handset" or whatever it was.

Cool, I think I may try the Haunted Kernel. Nandroiding first of course. I will report back later.
Yeah try a new kernel and use kernel tuner and turn on the Swype to wake option it is pretty cool..

Haunted Kernel 31 + Unofficial CM10.2 9/20 Build (Deck) appears to still have issues. Although it seems a bit better than before. As to whether this introduces new issues, I'm not sure yet.
The work on the kernel is ongoing. Trust me, it's way better than it was before.

Yup, expected to have a few hiccups using bleeding edge ROMs & kernels. Glad to hear that these types of things are being addressed. The Haunted kernel definitely makes things much, much better. It's definitely daily driver quality now.
As a side note, I've also noted that the WiFi seems to work better with the Haunted kernel as well. Not sure if that's related, but where I used to have difficulty staying connect to WiFi at home and at work, it now seems rock solid. Still a bit too early to be definitive, but so far so good.

Haunted Kernel is still behind some, last I checked. So while you may have some benefits, you will lose/miss some fixes/optimizations. But to each his own.

Good to know. I will keep flashing and keep trying the new builds as they become available. For now, this seems to be a good combo for me. The current Haunted governor actually kinda seems to be draining the battery fast so I may tweak that. Anyway, thanks for all the responses here, this has really enlightened me on this issue.
Hey.. I'm behind for a reason
