I saw at my friend's HTC Evo 3D that it has a Fast boot option in the power menu, which allows the phone to start in just 3 seconds. The HTC has the official android 4.0 installed, and I wonder if there is any quick- booting ROM like that one for the Xperia Neo. Thanks in advance!
Moved to Q&A
OP, for what it is worth, I had the Evo 3D and currently have the EVO LTE, one of the first things I have always done is turn off fast boot option. It can sometimes cause some issues when flashing different mods and honestly, I can always wait a few extra seconds for my phone to do a complete reboot.

Hi, I'm new to the HTC devices and only have experience with Motorola devices, from what I understand, rooting and flashing a custom rom is a radically different process on an HTC device. That having been said, what's the best rom for gaming? On the Evo 3D and how do I go about rooting and applying it, PS, I want to play emulators with my wiimote and ps3 controller
hi!
If you want to use wii or ps3 controller with emuators you need a AOSP rom, miui or CW7 works, but you will lose 3d funtions 4g and i think MHL hdmi tv out...
wow lame ;/ guess i'll just stick with stock rom then, um, can I at least root without loosing 3d and everything?

Yes you can ofc root without loosing 3D , 4G. You can also try different ROMs with sense 3.5 , beats audio.
But you will have to check your hboot version. If it is 1.50 , the only way to root is htc method.
If you dont wish to flash custom ROMs then you can simply try MODs like percent battery , htc amaze camera , bootscoot ( to change boot ad down anims)
o.o hboot? wassat? how do i check it o.o , this is all sooo cunfoosing >.< thank you all though for the help
go to settings>power>uncheck fastboot. Then hold physical power button select power off.your phone will shut down. after that press and hold volume down button with power button simultaneously. Your phone will then bootinto bootloader. On the top of the screen it will say *LOCKED*. Below that you will find your hboot version.

Best preformance comes from synergy or Infected eternity. if you want the phone to be even faster, toss a custom kernel as well to overclock it. Personally i use Infected eternity RLS 1.42 with Rcmix kernel(download from kernel manager on market and flash with flash image gui)
Im a noob to this, but I was having some trouble with Smokin1337's Sick Sense vX.1 rom on my EVO 3D. My trouble was the battery was draining 1% a minute (while using the device) and camera stopped working all of the sudden. I click into either camera or camcorder app or use the camera button shortcut and it just gives a blank (black) screen.
Unfortunately as a noob I cannot post in the Sick Sense thread so I have to refer to Q & A for help. Originally the superuser app I had installed, after installing Sick Sense, did not work properly. It kept force closing so I updated it via the market suggested by another user...forgot his name...too lazy to check...but it was my first post. Now my force closes of superuser have stopped but I still have some more problems.
For one, my phone reboots randomly while using this rom. As mentioned above, the camera does not function anymore. It used to work and now all of the sudden it stopped working and just gives me blank screen. Also, the battery drains quickly while in use literally 1% a minute and I'm not even using 4G. I just browse the web, I don't run any crazy programs that tax the battery or processor.
Originally I was just looking for a Sense Rom that is better than the Stock Sprint Rom. I just wanted a faster rom with no bloat and an excellent battery life seeing as on the commute to my university I take the subway and my phone switches between roaming and no signal. Also, the buildings at my university seem to be cell phone signal resistant. Sprint signal is scarce and data is slow and usually I'm roaming. The same happened with T-Mobile except there was no signal at all. Verizon and AT&T seem to be the kings of signal at my university because they work the best. Anyways, before I continue to ramble on is there any other ROM you guys at XDA would know that would best suit my needs. I've restored from my backup and phone is running good on Stock Sprint Rom for now.
Thanks For Your Time!
P.S. I've looked into some ROMS but seeing that I'm a noob I'm skeptical of nightly releases fearing that my phone would constantly restart or I would brick it. I'm somewhat interested in WTSB Hydro v2.4 but I'll take a Fast Sense ROM, but I don't really want to overclock because I'm not a power user. Currently, my Evo 3D has Hboot 1.5 because it was replacement unit from Asurion for a lost phone so its updated to the latest and greatest (lol we all know that sometimes isn't the best thing...)
Sounds like clean rom is for you.
I agree...clean rom is the absolute best sense rom out their. Sick bat life, and fast as heck. I would also say miui if you like aosp...it has better bat life and is faster without sense, unless you like sense lol...but scott is a wonderful coder.
Thanks for suggesting the clean ROMs. Anybody know if I can turn off camera sound in the rom??? Seeing as I'm a noob with less than 10 posts I can't post in the ROM forum so I have to seek out help in Q & A.
Go with one by virus fast and no problems then once you get hooked you can go to nightlys

Trying to figure out how to install a certain ROM. Don't remember the devs name...something along the lines of theAndroidosX anyways its the Olympus Trinity XE ROM with beats for the EVO 3D.
Since I got HBOOT 1.5 it says follow a certain method to root your phone/flash kernel or ROM. I can't do that method seeing as I already have Revolutionary. Seeing as I have revolutionary do I just follow flashing instructions of the ROM or do I have to use an alternative method because of HBOOT 1.5?
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Steel rom is by far the best and most stable sense rom out there.

Thanks for suggestions guys. I went ahead with Olympus though. Seems to be running insanely smooth. I'll try it out and if not I'll try what you guys reccommend...
Was wondering how safe mode works for EVO 3d kernals I'm running nocturnal xplod xe using the custom anthrax kernal. Somehow I was able to get my phone into safe mode(no idea how). Since it has a safe mode, how would I take advantage of it?

For putting your phone in safe mode, turn off the phone, turn it back on . While it shows the htc splash screen hold volume button down and it should be in safe mode.
Nothing useful can be done from it IMO. It will only boot factory apps.
But the safe mode topic has already been covered a few times.
Ya its been covered. But safe mode is great. Say you overclock and you put apply on boot. Well if it didn't like the speed it would probably bootloop. Side mode allows you to get past that by only allowing the apps that came in the rom to run.

Thank you. Yea, I remember seeing something about it a while ago but could not find the posts after searching for about an hour.

Hi,
I'm having severe problems with my Amaze for weeks now. Thing is, I can't find a ROM that just works for me, nothing fancy or special, I just want to flash something and use my phone rather than flashing ROM every few hours.
First let me tell you about my phone:
It's T-Mobile Amaze 4G, S-ON and with 4EXT recovery.
My problems are that:
1) After each phone restart, most of the times phone doesn't find my SD card and as I store my apps on it, I have to restart again and again and hope for a time that it does find my SD card.
2) Whenever I tweak a ROM, even a bit, and I don't mean hack, just using the option the ROM itself provides like tweaks that Revolution does, phone crashes constantly and I have to reflash.
3) I have severe problems with ICS ROMs that seem stable and people are saying that they use regularly.
4) Even if I don't try to customize a ROM, phone gets into weird problems like crashes at startup or stuck at htc logo that leaves me into reflash.
I got this phone from my brother who was using 2.x ROMs on it but I wanted Nexus look so I upgraded to ICS with ph185.img and then been trying almost all ROMs but I'm yet to find something that I can safely put my sim card in it without worrying that it might miss a call or drain battery fast.
I first wanted Nexus pure android look but I now fell back to htc stock look and been trying all other ROMs, even though downloading ROMs is very expensive. Maybe I have to S-OFF and fall back to 2.3.4 ROMs.
Any help is highly appreciated as I'm so desperate and can't afford another phone for at least a year.
Thanks.

Tried that already.
Any other solution?
Right before I make this topic, I was happy with Revolution HD but then after like 10 days it got into a very unstable phase in which that it would automatically restart itself constantly even without me touching it.

First off, let me say I'm fairly new to the DNA. Got it last week to replace my SGS3 and I'm loving it so far. I've been running viperDNA and its been doing wonders for me. Great battery, fully customizable, everything I want. But me being a flashaholic I wanted to try out a sense 5 ROM. So I downloaded NOS and after flashing and booting I would unlock the lockscreen and it would show a plain white HTC screen. Nothing does anything besides recent apps button showing 'no recent apps' but I can press and hold the power button to bring up startup menu. Very odd. Tried same thing with Tranquil and same thing happened, except a blue HTC white screen and no buttons worked besides power. So I've nandroid back to viper.
I'm I missing something that it takes in order to switch from Sense 4+ to Sense 5? Something I'm not flashing? Oh and by the way, I'm S-OFF.
Thanks for any help.
Let it sit on that screen for a bit. Just takes some time. If you haven't already, try Hatka Supreme. Best Sense 5 imo.

Thanks! That worked. Guess I was just being impatient. Need to work on that one.
