I just converted my Sprint EVO 3D to VM. It is still in Sprint stock rom. I'm wondering are Sprint ROM and VM ROm basically the same? Is there any custom made ROM for VM users? Besides, I know that VM has issued its fixed for the radio. Is that fixed already included in the custom rom(s) or do I need to apply it? if yes, and guide for that?
I don't need fancy feature, stable and smooth is my prority. Any recommendation?
Thank you.
XDA has no Evo V 4G specific forums. The custom ROM's that are specifically designed for the Evo V 4G can be found on this forum. There is also feedback there from Evo V users that have installed ROM's built for the Evo 3D on their phones.

Is the Evo V 4G the same as the HTV evo 3D?
Could I flash a Evo V 4G rom onto my HTC evo 3D?
Same hardware, just different software......but not by much.

Firmware and radio are low level programming not touched by the rom. As far as custom roms go configured to work on VM, the next updates to both d3rp rom and inbREDed will include in the aroma installer an option to add the apn's for Virgin Mobile users, so 3g, MMS etc should work. (The installer's already been configured and works properly, but I haven't finished the update for anyone to test yet).

Ladies and Gents,
Does anyone know who I can contact to request the addition of s sub forum under HTC Evo 3d for Virgin Mobile Android Development? I have thested the Sprint roms (which work) without MMS, and would like to spur the community to create VM specific versions.

Might not be necessary considering it's already a CDMA model, and that's where you're currently posting.

Yes and no. The software is that odd mix of Sense 3.6 and ICS that's in the leak ROM. But otherwise development for the Sprint phone is based on HC and Sense 3.whatever. So anything that modifies existing /system files has a good chance of not working properly on the new VM phone. OTOH, mods that add to /system work just fine.

Theres a lot of cool ROMs floating around for the Evo 3D like the MeanROM ICS. But most of the ICS roms are built off of the VM leak and then built off of sprint; data etc settings.
Is it possible to use these roms on the Evo V? without breaking everything...

Since the hardware seems identical, I think so, but I'm not sure...
I have seen people post that there are some pretty good ones built just for VM users. Unfortunately, they are on a different site for Virgin Mobile users and the name escapes me.

Hey guys,
I am on virgin mobile and thinking about getting the Evo V. I believe the Evo V is the same as the Evo 3d but not sure. I tried looking around the forum but it is so large so I thought I would just ask.
Is the Evo V the same as the CDMA Evo 3d and are there good roms out there for it. Right now I have the HTC One V running AOKP JB. I would like the Evo V for 4G, but I see alot of Roms don't have the 4G working. So my question would be, is the Evo V work with CDMA Evo 3d Roms and clockwork recoveries and if I switch are there good Rom (hopefully AOKP JB) out there for it, with working 4G?
Thanks
There are a few good VM ROMs. Unfortunately, they aren't on XDA. I'm Sprint, but I think one is called Midnight ROM. There are other forums out there for Virgin Mobile users.

How does rooting/getting custom firmware on the V work?
I went to the store to buy a no-contract phone today, and ended up going with the Evo V. It seemed like an in-freakin-credible deal. 139$ for a 4G phone with a dual core processor? Yes puh-leeze.
Anyways, so I've had an HTC before (hero), which I rooted/firmwared up and loved it, but I can't find a specific forum for the Evo V.
I know it's identical to the Evo 3D except it has 4G capabilities + launched with different software, so what rooting guide/firmwares can I install? Do ANY that work for the 3D work for the V?
Thanks in advance.
EVO V is 3D for Virgin Mobile. I've had both and hardware is identical. Software settings slightly different. For root follow Ramjet's guide at the top of this very section. Lot of the people in EVO 3D section have EVO V now. An easy beginning step is to root with HTC method, use 4 ext recovery and flash Midnight Rom. It's configured for Virgin. Then move to S-off if you want. Or straight to it depending on your skill level. It will allow you to flash Jelly Bean ROMS.

You can root and optionally get S-OFF for an Evo V 4G with this guide.

Thanks for the heads up. I got my phone S-OFF'd pretty easy!
Now I'm wondering, what's the current state of JellyBean roms. I hear that 4.2 will have group MMS messaging that plays nice with iPhones, which I would love.
Are there any working Evo 3D 4.2 ROMs?
If not, what's a ROM that's totally working, stable, and very fast. I'm not worried about bells and whistles.

You could try dastin's CM 10.1 (Wild For The Night) or Evervolv, both of which are 4.2.1 ROM's and very stable.
If you would like more advice about ROM's we have a thread here for that.

I'm new to flashing ROM's but have had success so far. Currently I am running Cyanogenmod 10.1 Android 4.2.2 jellybean on a Virgin Mobile HTC Evo 3d and love it.....Really the only thing that i am wondering is, when i look thru the list of ROM's here in the EVO 3D CDMA Android Development section can i run any of these that are for cdma or does it have to be specific to Virgin Mobile. I know some Sprint users have had issues running a ROM i seen that was Virgin only. Any help would be much appreciated.
Below are a few ROM's i was looking at trying but wasnt sure if i could.
