[Q] Key remap? - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

Hey, so I'm trying to decide whether to buy the DInc 4G or a Galaxy S3, they're both sick phones, and there's one thing bothering me about the DInc- the recent tasks button
Is there any way to change that to a menu button?

awesome.
now my decision is gonna be WAYYY harder

I can make this once I get a deodexed rom up.

yea the new key layout really upsets me.
I don't use recent apps, ever, in fact i dislike it entirely.
so to have a dedicated button, for me.. blows.

Would you switch from your vibrant to mytouch slide 4g?

Just wondering I love my vibrant and screen but the specs on the doubleshot is awesome. And the main reason I would think of switching is the keyboard
I use swype so expect bad grammar and errors
I got a mytouch for my gf a few months ago. its a very nice phone but I couldn't get past the physical buttons and charger being on the bottom left.
This is the new slide coming out though check it out its going to be completely different
I use swype so expect bad grammar and errors
no.
I would wait for the T-mobile g3 if you needed a keyboard. I don't have any info on it, but espresso is a lame version of sense. But if you really want to type more accurately you should stop using swype. Just a though.
Nope. Physical keyboards are 90's tech.

Hell no. I don't see myself switching to any device that doesn't have equal audio quality (through headphones) to voodoo sound. The screen would also need to be as good or better. Looks like I could be waiting a while.
I'd only jump to SGSII. Other than that it's falling really.

A physical keyboard is kinda Ninteys and adding a physical and a touch screen is overkill to me.

Why is everyone always about the mytouch. Please enlighten me I don't understand why everyone likes it so much. In my opinion it's hideous and it's also made by HTC which is a huge downfall to me. I just don't understand why everybody loves such a crappy phone.

HTC makes great phones, but I don't understand either. In this case, the OP wants a keyboard. I thought I needed a keyboard until I got rid of my G1.The first mytouch slide was a turd of a phone, and I can only imagine that the second one is going to be a lower-level device as well. I wish people knew that the stupid "genius button" is merely only the search button with a different label.

youre entitled to your opinion on the aesthetics of the phone but it is anything but crappy. build quality is great, everything functions fully, battery life is good and development community is booming. dunno how you define crappy..
Not anymore, only thing I want from MT4G was CM7, but now we have a CM7 that's stable enough for me.

Let me help you out on that one lol. My definition of crappy=HTC. I don't know where you getting your build quality specs from but every HTC device I have ever owned has had CRAPPY build quality.

POST Your "HTC EVO 3D" Dislikes HERE! Looking for Options!

Now First off Don't get me wrong, I'm Not starting this thread with intentions to Sh.t on the EVO 3D at All!
"I Personally Love it, and think it was
Definitely Well Worth The Wait!"
With that said...
Like with just about Anything in life, People are Always going to find Something or Someone... To Single out and find whatever Negative there're able to dig up in order to Complain about the Littlest Petty Sh.t they can think of, and I Know unless the Phones actually Customized for them, There's Always going to be something they would Change if they Could...
But Again, I'm Not at all starting this thread to Bash the EVO 3D! I'm Just simply listing certain features I guess I Wish were maybe a little more User Friendly (In My Opinion) for Everyone that may Agree with Me...
1.) I'd have to say coming from the CDMA HTC Hero, I Definitely Miss having the Trackball for "Easy" Scrolling!
2.) Well I suppose this is Almost the same as the first but... In My Opinion since they (HTC) did away with the Trackball they should of at least gave us a Keyboard with Directional Arrows! Especially for the people like me that Always seem to find their self having to Edit a Typo. It's Almost like Surgery having to Drag the pointer, either that "OR" just Try and get Lucky enough to Touch the Perfect spot between to Small ass Letters!
3.) I'm Not Feeling the Stupid Battery Cover! I basically have to Wrestle with it and say a Prayer to God that i Won't Break it to pieces when I Snap it off,
Get it... SNAP it off! Lol...
4.) I Hate the fact that in Settings/SDCard Storage there's even a Option to... Mount/UnMount the Micro SD when its Totally Impossible to Do either on the EVO 3D Without Removing the Battery First! "If Anyone figures out a way Please Post it Here for me!"
5.) I Don't like the Location of the Charger Port! HTC... What was Wrong with "Perfectly Center" on the Bottom? Wasn't Broke till You guys Fixed it! Lol...
6.) Now Maybe I just Don't Handle or Except Change well, But I just Can't seem to get use to the Volume Up/Down buttons on the Right side if the phone, Instead of the Left like on my Poor Retired Hero! Ugh, I Miss it Already...
7.) For whatever reason, While I'm Typing a Text or "Double Clicking" on a Web page to Zoom In/Out it Jumps to a completely Different Spot!
8.) Another thing I came across is when I try to Click the Up Arrow on the Keyboard to Capitalize a letter it almost Always selects the (Z) button instead of Capitalizing the Damn word! The letters (O) and (P) also Do the same to me!
9.) Finally, Last but Not Least...
Give a Damn Option to Un-Install those Pointless System Clogging Apk's like StockMarket, Twitter, Facebook, etc....
I Understand they made it into the System files for... $$$ Purposes but at least give the User the Option to Install Facebook, or whatever else really Isn't Necessary on the Own!
10.)
** If You Noticed I Stopped At 9**
So Anyone that's Willing, Fill in Your 10...
Or Simply just "My" 10th!
*Maybe, If there's Enough people Leaning in a certain Direction on a certain Subject, The EVO 3D Developers can kind of Reference the Infomation and Somehow Incorporate it into their Future Builds!*
"Obviously Not the Physical Buttons,etc."
if your that unhappy with the phone why would you keep it ?
Just sell it and get something you do like.

I'm Not Unhappy with the Phones Internal Features... Mainly just some Externals! Plus I Don't have that many Options seeing I'm Locked in with Sprint again, and I like the whole Sense look!
Like I said I Still Love the Phone, its Fast as Hell and a All Around Great phone but I'm also Considering its Fairly New and the Longer its around the Better it'll get with Development!
No kickstand and charging port location are my only gripes. I don't think ANYONE will ever have a phone they r 100% happy with.
Although my EVO 4G was pretty close to being perfect.

Meh. I was diehard HTC. I had the hero, then to the evo4g(while always yearning for pure Google). Evo 3d wasn't for me so in may I went nexus s.
I say root it, flash 2.3.4/5 and be done.
If you like sense, root the stock and delete all that junk.
I loved and hated that trackball, I finagled new hero's cause I didn't like the white trackball becoming tinged. Honestly, the evo3d, physically, seems a bit utilitarian to me.

I guess I'm just kind of Hoping to bump into a Suggestion I Havent thought of!
But from what I see the EVO 3D's kind of my Best Choice, at least for Now...
I love this phone more then my dog (he chewed my chef clogs last night) but I miss the kick stand, I like the charger on the bottom of the phone and I have a lot of typos due to the smaller keyboard (maybe I just have big thumbs)
With that being said, I can HONESTLY say there is not another phone on the market I'd rather have. And YES that includes SGSII. (Touchwiz blows)
Peace and love

My only gripe is that the camera is totally useless due to the ridiculous shutter lag (delay between when you take the shot and when the camera actually snaps the shot). No combination of settings can change it: shutter lag is always 0.5 to 1.0 second... sometimes more. Other than that, the phone is near perfect and I'm hoping HTC will put some emphasis on fixing the dud of a camera in the next update.

Have you had the Lag with both 2D and 3D? Tell you the Truth I know the Camera was one of the Hooks to Reel everyone in but i Haven't even tried to take a Picture yet! But good to know about the Shutter lag!
Thanx...
1. It should be dual 8M camera rather than just dual 5M
2. Yeah, give me back keyboard arrows
3. 3rd party equalizer not working on stock music player
4. Both SIM and sdcard should be accessible without removing the back cover
5. I love the camera button, but is it necessary to make 2D/3D switch a physical button also?

A Look at What HTC Will do With Sense for the ICS Update

We've all been wondering what will happen to Sense once we get the ICS update.
The honeycomb upgrade that the HTC Flyer got very recently gives us a clue:
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2130153/htc-flyer-android-honeycomb-upgrade
Here's a video of the flyer with gingerbread:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70y78sBtDbA
In gingerbread, the whole UI is tweaked and looks only slightly different from the one on phones.
The video of the Flyer with Honeycomb update:
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/review/2131567/htc-flyer-running-android-honeycomb-video-review
Notice how the UI is far less modified than the Sense in Gingerbread. The lockscreen is the same, but the rest of the UI nearly stock, except for the widgets, icons, and system apps.
From this I infer that once we get the ICS update, HTC Sense won't be as extensive as it is in Gingerbread, and we will actually have less of the Sense UI and more vanilla Android.
When it comes to their phones it will be sensed out..We can hope they don't mess it all up but they will..HTC isn't very established in the tablet market so they can experiment with what they think people want.Phones have been established so they will continue doing what they have always done...
This is just my opinion though..I wish they would just leave it alone and maybe add a few things

My bad, I put the wrong link, just fixed the post.
It is not like HTC is lacking in sales due to to Sense. People continue to buy their phones so why would they think people do not want it.
I am sure for non-tech people who buy an HTC phone, Sense makes things a lot easier for them and they do not even know what Sense means.
Ask an HTC phone owner who is not into modding their phone what they think of Sense. I am willing to bet they have no clue what you are even talking about.
So they straight up disabled the buttons on the tablet with the honeycomb update. Damn i hope they dont do that for our ICS update. talk about losing screen real estate by adding a row on the screen for the buttons!
so besides the sense widget clock, and the sense lockscreen, what was "Sense" on that tablet?? to me looked like straight Honeycomb for most part.

Sense looks good on the outside, but ugly on the inside. .
Kinda like a stripper
I like the some of the things it can do vs AoSP or TW.. . But the Rosie is useless and ugly. Its a ram hog and leaves/has footprints in almost every part of the OS
I think its a bit of overkill IMO

na im a fan bud but personally they included a lot of sense features in ICS. The only thing ICS doesn't have is the Sense widgets and such really.
I don't mind sense either but they load it down with way to Much memory eating garbage. No reason for a stock Evo3D with the hardware inside to run the way it does..Load up a senseless ROM and ADW and this thing screams

It makes sense for them to do this on a tablet. Honeycomb is designed to be used from any screen orientation, whereas the buttons are only good for one. Secondly, on honeycomb the status bar is also the button bar, no screen real estate is lost by having the buttons on something that is there anyway. Leaving the capacitive buttons enabled enables false presses without much benefit.
For a phone, the primary orientation is landscape and the buttons aren't on the status bar. Thus there is no reason to even use on screen buttons on a device that has capacitive buttons already. The galaxy nexus has to have a 16:9 screen which allows the buttons to be there without cutting down real estate compared to other phones.
I could not be any more certain that the capacitive buttons will not be disabled in ICS. Also, the thing that bugs me the most about Sense besides the fact that it hogs ram and decreases the performance of the device is how deep its roots are in the OS, such as the fact that the drivers for autostereoscopy rely on the Sense framework, so AOSP roms don't have 3D and may not until 3D support becomes stock for Android, at which point the Evo 3D will probably be a legacy device or obsolete.

Woah, slow the hell down people. HTC isn't that stupid! (surprising right?). There NOT going to disable out capacitive buttons!!! ICS, unlike Honeycomb, can be used with our without capacitive buttons. They wont disable the buttons and put them onscreen if they don't have to, that's retarted.
But anyway, I like the idea of a less intrusive sense. I bet it won't happen however. They never really put much effort into sense for tablets, but on phones its their trademark. Sense widgets on a stockish system sounds really good, but w/e we'll have cm9 by them
I just hope they make it so sense widgets work in other launchers, like make them part of the system instead of the launcher. I really hate the rosie launcher, it just seems so stupid if I get a replacement launcher I can't even use the stock music widget.
The thing I disliked the most about sense is there wasn't really any customization. You HAD to have 5 screens. No more no less. And it's so baked in that if you use a different lockscreen you have to unlock and put in your password if you want to answer a call

no that was a TW option and only found in GB based roms. ICS has yet to have this option and idk if it ever will unless a dev can add it back in some how
ok so I'll brave it... I am a little disappointed.
S-Voice seems to love working when I'm by myself, but nooooo when someone else is around, it refuses to come to life.
But apart from that, this phone is a beauty.

if you see the update was posted after i pasted the article
Then don't update the phone, either way this remap only works with the screen on. With the screen off nothing happens.

I suppose you can. Just double click on the power button. (So far I have heard this seems configurable)
