...or would you wait for the official HTC Sense Jellybean? -- which is WHO KNOWs when
Dropping Sense has been my first wish for every sense phone i've owned.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I would stop everything I was doing and immediately flash that bad boy. Not a second thought.

Not forever, but I'm not rooting until CM10 works.

I can't wait until the AOKP or CM10 ROMS are available. I will install one of those and not think twice about it.
AOSP all day everyday! Screw Sense!!!!

I had the galaxy nexus and got rid of it because it felt cheap.
Swype is starting to be a good alternative to the stock sense keyboard so I would gladly install AOSP JB

SwiftKey keyboard will blow your mind FYI if you've never tried it. Way better than either of the aforementioned keyboards.

I'm a big fan of sense, but I would definately jump on a chance to try out jb. I like new and shiny things.

As I love the camera software on this phone, I am not sure I would want to lose Sense camera
I ran Cyanogen on my OG Evo... but I have really come to appreciate much of what sense has to offer.
I think that between Car Mode, Camera App and Dialer (all of which I use every day) I could not stray away from sense for very long. I know that there are 3rd party apps that emulate what sense can do but they really aren't up to the level that sense is.
I would definitely flash it to check it out but I'm pretty sure I would return to sense in short order. I hope that the official HTC Jellybean / Sense combination will be as awesome as I think it can be.
Deck already has cm10 booting, so give it a week or two. Check the cm thread for the video.

What features of the dialer do you like? If it is the "T9" aspect of it, you can definitely get that elsewhere. If I'm not mistaken, CM7 had that before Sense did.

Totally agreed, I really love the camera software and the continuous shot mode. The camera aspects of the phone is what really sold me in getting this device.

I definitely don't dislike CM... I just like the functionality of sense (beyond the widgets). I feel the dialer is just laid out better in sense - easier to navigate (for me). It is the lesser of all the things that I mentioned but something I noticed nonetheless.
I have my EVO 3d pretty much exactly how I want it. 1st question is if I up grade I will have to re install everything won't I?
2nd, what new features will I get?
The evo 3D wasn't built for ice cream sandwich, so you can't get all of what ICS has to offer. I personally am disappointed with ics on my 3D.

Actually ics is available for evo 3d as an upgrade, there is a new version of sense 3.6 which gives you ics plus some nice features on sense, new homescreen and dock, there's some minor tweaks, to many to go into detail. Now sense 4 is as available but it was not designed for the evo, so there are minor things which don't work but it's overall much nicer with more shortcuts and improvements. Hope this helps, Sense 3.6 with ics will improve overall performance, minor over gb but improvements.

you're right - the evo3d was not built for ICS - but HTC has built ICS for the evo3d
ICS has been integrated into a full system update to the phone , unrooted
so. you get everything the evo3d has to offer - 3d pictures and video, 4g wimax, and everything else supported by the makers of the phone
plus a better and faster system with much better battery life and features , over gingerbread
.
so what are you talking about?

I don't understand what you mean. You build the software for the hardware not the other way around. It's just a little tiny bit easier to change software than hardware...

its ok - i dont think anyone really understood
to answer the OP - you wont have to reinstall anything - the device will update itself (if we are talking about official htc OTA update) --- if we are talking about rooted developed roms, then yes , reinstall or restore a backup

wow! if this is your answer, then technically any phone that did not come stock with ICS was "not built for ICS" I personally think ics is way better than GB! Multi tasking is a pretty awesome feature! As far as I know, ICS was designed to work better on dual core phones... the EVO3D was one of the first dual core phones sprint released, so I would say that it utilizes ICS perfectly

It's disappointing that HTC gives you half a** quick settings in the pull down menu for ICS. No on/off selection for wifi nor auto screen orientation. You can't even add settings or change them.
Tapping on total memory to pull up and close apps takes over 10 seconds at times to load running apps.
I'm definitely rooting this replacement phone.

Well there's also the free dropbox storage for a year. I don't remember whether its +3 or +5 GB, either way its a boon.

Stock ICS on the Evo 3D is great. It's much smoother than stock GB, has some nice new features and there are a few ICS and higher only apps(like Chrome) that you can't install on GB.
Why aren't you running JB?

I had this same frustration as well, until I started using Go Switch widget. Try it. I'm sure it'll solve most of your issues.

I was thinking of downloading a 3rd party status bar widget, but I hear that it consumes battery faster.

I upgraded, not sure how I feel about it yet, but I will have to get used to the new notification sounds
For one, I've never had the double blur 3d bug that soooo plagued GB when viewing 3d pics in gallery.
Two, the 3.0 kernel has given much better power management.
I am having no issues with ICS and very happy with the OS upgrade.

I think ICS is not as smooth as GB, but there are some cool features. The screen off battery life is awesome, but the battery life seems worst when multitasking. I only got about 3 1/2 hours while listening to music, web surfing, texting, ect. On zr3d v 4.3 I got about 4 1/2 hours.
Im really like my ics rom.. d3rp drama.. Chrome and Google Now..
I tend to listen to podcasts and use navigation a lot(I'm a driver) and im noticing more frequently since the update that sense will reload when backing out of Navigation. I also get it when backing out of memory intensive games too. The same games I use to play and the same navigation I've always used in ICS and not have this issue. Back in the day with Sense reloads you would see a "Loading" message and sense would come back. Now it's just a home screen with 0 widgets that eventually reappear.
What gives? I thought I'd be done with sense reloads by the 3rd product cycle. I know the whole manage your apps and use less home screens tips. The thing is I'm set up the same way I've always been set up, shouldn't have to change anything.

Odd... I haven't had sense reload one time since the update. On ICS I had it happen a few times but it was rare. Runs smoother for me now. Are you stock?

I used to get that on my old EPIC. Nothing on the screen and seconds later icons would populate. When I had sense reloads on ICS I always got the loading message. I think you should definitely try a different rom, as it seems no one else is getting it on JB. Goodluck dude, hope it gets better for you.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I used to have a sense reload just about everytime I hit the home button on ICS. It was unbearable. Now that I have JB it rarely happens, and when it does it loads significantly faster. I'm stock btw. I used to be rooted, but went stock after testing out jellybean and sense 4+

HTC can't win. People ***** that sense reloads so they implement the most aggressive anti multitasking "bug" to fix it.
Now that they unbroke multitasking sense may reload more.
It works fine for me personally, but I un install, freeze, or refuse to run memory intensive things like face unlock, live wallpapers, and some stock HTC and Sprint junk
HTC can win.. Simply don't F### up and do dumb crap. If they want to continue with sense(which I enjoy) then make sure the device has proper resources.

Highly likely. This link is more of a rumor sourced article. But I have seen sales pages that say "upgradable to 4.2.2".

I'm running the Renovate Rom from the International HTC One forums and it has the quick toggles, also has long press the back button for menu which gets rid of the black bar menu on bottom.
The rom and the kernel work fine on the AT&T version (LTE and All)

I have been a die-hard AOSP fan for quite a while. But, this sense 5 ROM has been on my phone for quite a while now,...I'm surprised. I kind of don't like the phone UI cuz it just seems awkward to navigate and see what you wanna see. I do like that HTC went back to vertical scroll in the app drawer. I hate when my desktop and drawer scroll the same way,..confuses me lol. I like the distinction.

Tried sense 5 for a few days, then back to viper. I really like blinkfeed and the new widgets, but not enough customization options yet. Not a fan of the 3 button menu or app and folder names on my homescreen. There may be a way to disable them but havent found a way yet.
I actually really love the Sense 5 Rom, but I'm sticking to RootBox until they fix a few small issues (mainly the music duplication issue that annoys me beyond extent)
