I agree, its silly and offers no utility. I have used an alternative launcher since roughly 2 weeks after purchasing my EVO 4G in June of 2010, and have never gone back to the Sense launcher.
I like the sense launcher but that is the most useless feature they have ever used.

I haven't seen that removed by itself, but there are several ROMs eight now that have an option to disable that in the tweaks menu. I know eternity and warm both have this feature.
I would be happy with landscape

only disables it when unlocking the phone..The carousel is still spin crazy between home screen fast swiping
The carousel only spins if u go crazy fingers on it. Keep it cool hot shot.
Seriously I'd like to get rid of that and the rap around. I miss scrolling wallpapers
Cho3D
Sense sucks and is way too bloated on the stock rom
root it and run a custom ROM or run a launcher over sense and see it Sense turns off after time of non use
I love the carousel and eye candy..... to each his or her own....

I've been looking in the ROSIE.apk and SENSE.apk all day long and and found no direct way of disabling it so far. There has got to be a touch swipe/speed minimum trigger somewhere. It looks pretty integrated into the launcher, it may be alot more difficult than originally assumed.

You know it can't be just database modding, right? You have to disassemble the apk. 2 weeks ago I was on the same boat, I baksmali'd the Rosie.apk and searched through a lot of functions to find a comparison (if clause etc) to find the decision whether it should spin or slide. In the end I got lost. The hard part is we don't know the name of the function and there are no strings popping up when spinning to help us get through thousands of line of code. At some point I thought it writes the system log a record starting with DEBUG TimelineAnimation.play only when it spins but that was a deadend too. The closest I could get was to crash Sense when you begin to slide, so if I have more time soon, I might find the responsible function/decision after that point.
I too hate it . I Miss the days from my desire classic wonderful themes moving wallpapers etc..
Were talking about 3D transition effect as well right not just the carousel lol cause im talking about both...
Hi,
I have been reading this section for sometime and my friend has ask me to fix his phone. He owns an Evo 3D and it has all this Vodafone bloatware all over phone and would like to remove it. All he complains is about how bad that Rom is and of.lags the phone badly. He would most likely like to continue using HTC Sense and is there any generic HTC Rom that is available ?Also the Vodafone logo on bootup on his 3D. Now as far as I know he is running on Android 2.3.4 and the hwboot is 1.49 I think. S-Off is also on so I would like how to turn it off.
Thanks

Read the stickies in the dev section.
CleanROM is one of the best Sense based ROMs. Fast and battery lasts a long time.
Well does it matter if I flash a cdma Rom with a gsm EVO 3D?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yes it matters.
We're comin from a pure power source.
Yes, it matters, because the CDMA ROMs will not work on the GSM phone and could potentially brick the phone, don't even try it.
I'm on Vodafone too, and luckily I didn't get any of the bloatware crap like the start up animation and stuff, thank god. At the moment I'm using virtuous quattro ICS Sense 3.6 ROM and it's working great, smooth, no bugs (from what I can tell) and it's not caused any problems. The only bad thing is the camera and USB storage doesn't work within the ROM at the moment, so to mount your SD card you've gotta have revolutionary CWM 4.0.1.4.
Have fun.
Can you link me to a guide on rooting this phone please?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
It depends on what hboot version the phone has. But either way, all the rooting guides are in the stickies in the Development section, just like I said in the second post of this thread.
I got hands on my friends phone and its using a hwboot 1.49.0013. I can't seem to see any threads on rooting and turning s off for this phone. Do I need to downgrade the Hwboot in order to get root and S off?

There's another section called Android development, and in there exists something called a sticky.
So, I'm new to rooting, and, as such, after looking around the forums, I haven't found a similar thread (for the EVO 3D) about what ROM I should get. I've been looking through the CDMA forum at different ROMS, but I'm not sure which one to use. I won't be downgrading to 1.4 HBOOT, since I don't have a linux PC or the balls to do it, so I will be using the HTC Unlocker. All I want is to have the ability to use the Hotspot/tethering for free, because I'm not about to pay Sprint an extra 30 dollars/mo on top of my 65 dollar/mo plan right now.
So, if anyone has any help, I'd really appreciate it, because I have no idea what I'm doing.

My friend is saying there's more ways to root your phone other than the HTC Unlocker or the downgrade to 1.4 hboot. First off cause I don't have a linux PC, and my friend's friend said he used a program to root it on windows.
EDIT: After doing some research, I found this: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-downgrade-hboot-1-50-to-1-40-on-htc-evo-3d-new/ and this: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-3d/
I was wondering if these are reliable and they both work, mostly the Revolutionary app. Because I've heard that it's not all that amazing, but they must have updated it since I heard that.

If you are on hboot 1.5, the htc dev unlock, then hboot downgrade is the ONLY method.

Again, the HTCDev method will give you root, but not s-off. If you want s-off, you have to downgrade your hboot. And it doesn't take a while, unless you consider a few minutes to be a while.

K, well, after reading some stuff, I think it may be best to wait for ICS to come out and see what happens, because, apparently it should be coming out sometime soon, if I'm not mistaken.

And if you take the OTA ICS update, it could update the hboot and you may never be able to root it. If you are going to root, do it now.

Yeah, but the thing is, I've been comparing HTC Unlock with downgrade and root, the only difference, besides true s-off, is you aren't able to have you own splash screen with HTC Unlock (Big whoop.) So, instead of taking the time (albeit a few minutes) To downgrade my phone and to root it that way. I think I'll wait for ICS to come out, then for the HTC Unlock to update for it, since I rather like the way ICS will look, also as I've said before, all I really want is the ability to use the Sprint Hotspot without paying an extra 30 bucks. That and with the HTC unlock, I can still put on a custom ROM, if I so desire, once they've been updated for ICS.
Ohhhh... Where should I start.... Well for one s-off means a lot, not just splash screens... Which I love my custom splash screen btw.... Makes my phone extremely unique...
If I was in your shoes.. I would downgrade the hboot... Root it.. and install the tethering app... And be done with it... Regardless of when the ota comes out for ics.. that means very very little...
Once the ota does come out, ROM devs will be all over it, and custom ics roms will be popping up all over the place...
"All I really want is tether...." No its not.... Trust me once you dive into the rooted EVO 3d and you realize how the phone is suppose to run, not how it runs stock you will be glad you went through the trouble with the downgrade...
Do what you do, as long as your happy and enjoying your 3vo that's what's matters...

Well, my biggest problem with trying to downgrade is I'm having trouble finding a way to downgrade with just windows, since I don't have Linux. Unless I just didn't read it right, I think someone said that the link I posted about downgrading with windows is outdated?
EDIT: Why would I install a tethering app when, supposedly, I can use the Sprint Hotspot, which is supposed to be better than the tethering app? Also, I have quite a few apps on my phone and I'm not sure I'll be able to use them all still if I root my phone.

Well, for me, there's several issues with that. 1) I'm using a laptop that isn't mine for the time being, and i don't want to go and make a new partition. 2) If I were to wait till the parts for my new desktop to come in, I'd have to wait till the end of March anyways for a new processor to come out. 3) I've never even messed with Linux.

This will only be useful to the people who have S-OFF or who have already done the official update right? You'd probably save yourself and others some headache by mentioning that. I'm sure you're gonna put in all the details when it's ready, I'm just saying.

Too funny! Because that's what literally was happening..but it actually was pretty easy if you read what NOT to do...lol watch the video someone posted. And remember you don't wait 17 secs you wait 1.75 secs. So ALMOST 2 seconds to tap the ground side again after the first tap.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
Finally broke down and bought this app. Price tag is a little high considering you can get all the separate applications free, but not all under one roof. But that brings me to my question.
Have you or anyone else you heard of had issues with any of the programs in rom toolbox? Ad blocker has been a little inconsistent for me. Know he has been working on it though.
Does the boot screen changer work? Had any issues with font changer? Just want to know before I run into the same thing. Some of it is a little dangerous to run without being optimized for the phone. Especially the EVO LTE.
Any info would be appreciated. Please share any positive / negative effects you've had. Thanks!
It all works for me.. Some things such as the status bar icon installer might look a little goofy on Sense ROMs(I'm on cyanogemmod so I haven't tried it) but everything else should work. Its all mostly fundamental android tools that should work on any phone, EVO, GS3, or otherwise.

Which ROM are you running? I haven't tried it on a Sense ROM so I can't say for sure but that's all I can think of that might interfere with it. The tool basically just takes the animation and puts it into the right folder in the root of your phone.
I know on my old Hero it was stored a little different on some ROMs so that some boot animations with sounds and stuff caused issues.
Point is, its probably ROM based, not hboot related.
Edit: If you check the boot animation installer settings you can change the target of where its installing the animation. If you can find out where its installed on your ROM there's no reason for it not to work as long as you're rooted.
Edit#2: If on a sense ROM change the destination to /system/customize/resource/
And then change from bootanimation.zip to *scratch that, read post below for the right .zip name*
No guarantees it'll work but it looks like that's where its stored on a Stock w Goodies ROM I have on my SD card. I took the bootanimation from it and installed it on my paranoid android ROM and it worked so it should work the other way around.

I bought it yesterday myself. It's an awesome app, but boot animations don't work for me either, most likely due to a prerequisite of being S-OFF?

Boot animations just require root, and you have to tell rom toolbox the path/filename of the boot animation zip that the rom is looking for.
For sense-based roms on evo lte, that is
/system/customize/resource/SPC_bootanimation.zip
That filename is actually mutable. It's defined in /system/customize/CID/default.xml
So go into rom toolbox, boot animations. Then hit menu, Install Locations.
Common locations: "HTC EVO 4G"
That loads the other two settings with defaults that are closest to correct. Directory is correct, and you only have to modify the filename slightly from bootanimation.zip to SPC_bootanimation.zip

Basically, rom toolbox could read the correct values right out of default.xml. I don't know why it doesn't. Maybe the path/name of default.xml itself isn't consistent on all devices or maybe he just didn't think of it yet.

I have been using this since it first came out, bought it back on my OG EVO. It has been loads of help, and is nice to have everything under one hood.
