why - HTC EVO 3D

are all the sense 4.0 roms still based off the ville still? i figured with the evo lte out this long we would be getting some real roms that aren't ported over. maybe i am ignorant and don't know what i am talking about but just wandering

Ville is the codename (like "shooter" for the CDMA Evo 3D) for an HTC One S model which has the same screen resolution as the Evo 3D and its 1.11.401.110 build is based on Sense 4. That may be the primary reason why the ROM from that device was used to port the 4.x Sense versions over to the Evo 3D. The Evo 4G LTE has a larger and higher resolution display, making a Sense port from that device more difficult.
Unfortunately, the ville doesn't have a 3D camera or WiMax 4G, which is why those features are missing from the Sense 4 ports for the Evo 3D. There also seems to be a change in Wi-Fi that has so far prevented the Wi-Fi Tether app from working consistently, although it's been reported that the SVTP version does work with those ROM's.

Question about 3d without HTC Sense

I just had a question about the potential rooting of the Evo 3d. I assume it would take awhile before any aosp rom is able to be loaded which uses any of the 3d features of the phone (cyanogem roms) HTC sense obviously supports it, and but I didn't think that 3d was included as part of the standard android os with there not being many 3d phones yet.
I don't know too much about how it works, just thought id ask.
Thanks,
J
I just want to know how/if the 3D works in both landscape and portrait modes.
I've wondered these things as well....

[Q] Porting an Inspire ROM to the Rezound

Can anyone port this ROM or if it's simple help me do it?

Unfortunately porting a ROM is not as easy as swapping a few files.

1) wrong resolution....inspire/dhd are wvga screens (if it was bigger you could typically resize down with m10 tools...not gonna really work the other way)
2) lte...as witnessed by the thunderbolt porting is significantly more difficult to an lte device from a non lte rom...data is often a no-go (especially for sense 3.5 +)...really erishasnobattery was about the only person capable of it and he no longer has a rezound....as more lte phones on other carriers with similar resolutions come out, porting may become easier/more prevalent
3) its never "simple" unless porting from a nearly identical device ie: inspire - dhd - desire s or og inc - evo 4g (or inc2 to inc s to an extent by gsm to cdma involves a few more files than gsm to gsm)
4) since thats an aosp rom, it could be built on a stable base for this phone...but afaik that doesnt exist atm...

Hey man!, do you have a Rezound??
also I know this may sound weird, but what about the Thunderbolt sense 3.0 leak ROMS, could that be ported to the Rezound?

tbolt is still wvga so it would look awful (though id think radio/data stuff would be alright)

[Poll] EVO 3D to get Sense 3.6 or Sense 4.0?

Hey guys. I know the HTC EVO 3D has been on the official update list by HTC for Android 4.0. Although they haven't clarified (to my knowledge) whether it will be upgraded to Sense 3.6 or Sense 4.0
Now initially I would have thought it would for sure be Sense 4.0 because we can easily run it, and it would make no sense not to. Then I saw someone post a comment saying saying that a lot of sense 4.0's features rely in the camera and our sensors don't support that. (Sorry I don't remember who posted this)
I thought what they said though was a valid point nonetheless. Anyway I want to know what all of you think about the update and what version you believe it will get (and why) This way we can all discuss and share ideas/information.
EDIT: its confirmed were getting 3.6
3.6 Here, but hope for either. LOL
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
HTC PR Jeff Gordon said they were giving current devices the Sense 3.6 with Android 4.0 the other day when he was talking. sorry dont have a link.
but beside the point there is no way possible that HTC is going to release Sense 4.0 to anything already out. I was the one you were referring to probably in regards to the sensors and camera.
I watched 99% of their MWC event and it was 90% about the Sense 4.0 camera improvements they have made and how "ImageSense" has a dedicated Image Chip now and that coupled with the f/2.0 lens has allowed them to make all these HUGE strides in their camera area.
So without that image chip hardware and the f/2.0 lens theres no way getting Sense 4.0 on our devices. Least if you did get it on here then you would not have all the features and abilities they claimed to have like the quickness of taking pictures and clarity and such....
kinda sucks but it doesn't b/c now we know they addressed one of the issues some people used to b##ch the most about in regards to the hardware...
Here is the article btw. it was actually talking about the next nexus phone and he threw in "...HTC’s current priority is to deliver Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and HTC Sense 3.6 to its current devices..."

Alright that makes sense. It is a little disheartening. You would think they would update it to 4.0 without the extra camera features. Especially when the single core'd One V is getting 4.0. I know we will always get ports eventually, but those won't have 3D capability no matter what.
Thanks for sharing though. I am still going to hope for Sense 4.0 anyway (even though it's just wishful thinking) lol.
These atlre our specs for the evo 3d if we don't get sense 4.0 that's lame.

take it you just didn't read anything that I wrote above then....smh
My little rant aha
the One V specs?
1GHZ Single Core CPU
512MB of RAM
3.7 in 480x800
3G (no listed 4G compatibility)
And it ships with 4.0 out of the box.
The 3D
1.2 GHZ Dual-Core MSM8260 Proccesor
1GB of Ram
4.3 qHD display
4G and 3G
and will probably get sense 3.6? Kindof messed up. I mean I understand the whole camera aspect of it...but thats not ALL sense 4.0 is about. I mean yes it is a great big portion of it, but not everything.
My reasoning: The One S has a qhd display (same resolution and screen size of our 3d) so that can't be an issue, CPU, GPU, and RAM isn't really an issue.
The One X has a lower quality camera than the other 2 in the One line (although probably still far superior to our phones)
The only problems HTC should have a real tough problem with is 3D support and fixing the camera for our sensors.. which as a huge national company they should have the resources to do that for us the customer.
That being said I understand what sgt.slaughter is saying...I just like to rant
Maybe im making a bigger deal than it is, but its just a little upsetting. I feel like a samsung owner. That one might hurt a couple of you
i hope 4.0

visually 3.6 and 4.0 are not far off at all from what ive seen. The camera stuff was the headline feature of Sense 4.0 and they made it apparent in the event. besides that all thats left that sense 3.6 doesn't have is the beats integration and the dropbox stuff really...the camera is a big enough chunk to not get it when you take a step back and look at it all.
HTC confirmed that all the devices that are going to get ICS will be sense 3.5. Check their Facebook page all the information is there.
I'm just saying theres no reason for us not to get 4.0,HTC said them self they even slim down 4.0 for better performance. I remember when I had the evo 4g and it got gingerbread there was no new improvements on sense besides running gingerbread.

not reading as well....read the actual things that require to get Sense4.0 features they touted and youll see no current phone has the f/2.0 lens nor do they have the dedicated image chip both of which are vital to using Sense4.0 features they touted.
at this point those wanting 4.0 you can just edit the files to say you have 4.0 and you wont know any difference. Only thing possible your missing is dropbox, wifi sync manager, and full integrated beats...
There is a pretty big difference between 3.6 and 4.0. Lockscreen differences, keyboard, system apps like music, animations, and so on. It's more refined. 3.6 is basically 3.5 with ICS.
We will see fully working ports eventually though. Just as we did with the OG EVO and Sense 3.0/3.5.

I could have sworn they said that the Sensation elevate program users were going to get a Sense 4.0 beta, so I would then assume that the Sensation would get Sense 4.0, and therefore, so would we. I certainly hope so! Then again, the original Evo 4G has sense 3.0 ROMs, so i'm sure the wonderful developer community could get a 4.0 one working perfectly on our phones, in fact, there's already one in development!

WiFi direct on sense 3.6 is it possible?

I tried WiFi direct, it worked great to transfer. It supported in API 14 or higher. From what I understand, most 3.6 roms are on API 15.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/wifip2p.html
It's in sense 4, just wonder if possible to back port it?

It might but its dam difficult and features like that have files, libs and lines of code deep in framework and its a lot of work. There are some sense 4 roms available for this device.
sorry
Yes, seem to always be compromises. To bad there probably won't ever update this to sense 4 officially.
