A little bit of confusion : Evo V? - HTC EVO 3D

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.

Will 3D camera and gallery ever work on Sense 4 rom's

As the title ask's, do you think it'll ever work?
I don't know if anyone is actively working on 3D for sense 4 but for me it's the only thing missing.
If our phones weren't 3D then we'd already have our daily rom, problem is, we do have 3D phones.
Any ideas or news about progress anywhere?
Thanks.
PS: I know MDeejay has had some success with 3D gallery and some youtube.
But i haven't heard much from the cam side of things.

who needs the 3d feature anyway! its pointless and it sucks!!! i love my evo 3d just for the dual core and the rom great developments! other than that i would still be on evo 4G! #sense 4.0 don't 3d feature!!!
Dladz to answer your question, I personally think it's possible. Album for sure, we can port the original sense 3.6 album because It's the same android base(and then theme it like sense 4). Camera is a bit more difficult, because we want the Sense 4 Camera layout. So somebody has to rewrite the whole camera stuff for getting a 3D mode. Unfortunately people like Igor who really knew how to do it are no more in the forum. So the only hope we have is that some guys like mdeejay take their time and get the things working. But It's definitely not impossible, It's more a question of effort.

Thanks m8, that does help.
So where did this Igor chap get off to? Can we kidnap him and make him do it lol.
That was a joke m8.

As I know there will ne a update to ICS for evo 3d soon. And ai prety sure that it will be on sense 4.0 because some leak rom out there base on same firmwave with sense 4.0 . But not 100% sure .
Other think that ics camera have mutilshot. For evo 3d because of saving on sd card so, so the speed could not be fasr like htc one x ( it save on the phone store ). So what happen with 3d mutilshot. . It must be really slow.
As my opinion, the developer can do anything on the decive,. If htc give them source. Sometime, they even do not need any help to do like the htc hd2 case. It can use dual os by tricking the device start with android in sd card. It was legend.

I know there will be an update for the EVO 3D but it won't include sense 4 to my knowledge, we will only get sense 3.6, which is where the problem lies, moving 3D over to sense 4 has proven to be a bit of a problem.
As for multishot, it's a feature of the software and not really something which i think i'd use anyway.
Zoom camera has a burst feature which works just fine by the way, so if you wanted to use burst then download zoom.
Thanks.

3D movies are good.
I read somewhere, that HTC will not public surce codes for camera.
That's maybe the biggest problem...
Well I know Agrabren has a working camera on his personal build of Cm9. This will eventually work it's way into Digital High's MIUI port. But it still has a way to go and he is not ready to release anything. So that being said, I am sure DEV's will get it worked in eventually. Have faith.
Well i think mwakious probably has the skills to work on camera. i am not sure but have been using his ROMs(Sense 3.6) nd he keeps fiddling with the camera so am pretty sure he has some knowledge. i was willing to ask him to work on a sense 4 ROM but m new here. Although i have been rooting and using custom ROMs for quite some time now and just wanted to thank all the devs so i thought i shud join xda too. I am using mwakious3drom v8.1 and love his work. unfortunately its very sad to know what mwakious and other italians are going through these days. m sure if mwakious has the time to look into a sense 4 ROM he will succeed. Any one of you who can reach him do give it a shot i am new here so i cant post on his thread.
Yea there's definitely some talent on XDA, enough to fix 3D.
I guess we'll just see, I have faith in the dev's, i'm just an impatient sod and wanted to know if someone knew something that i didn't.

Yes they are I've got Avatar on my phone and although that it won't work on virtuous (sense 4) it did work perfectly on 3.6 roms.
It's a great feature to have and i have no idea why anyone would buy an EVO 3D for any other reason, yea it's got a slightly faster processor than the sensation and a little bit more ram but in all honesty the sensation hold's it's own in every department, including 2D pictures which are amazing.

Can Evo V (VM) Use Evo 3D (Sprint) ROMs?

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.

[Q] Any non-sense ROMs (ICS or Jelly Bean) with everything working ?

Hey guys, I'm from the MyTouch 4G thread, and I'm here asking a question for my friend who has a Sprint EVO 3D. I'd like to move him towards a more stock Android ROM instead of Sense since his battery isn't even lasting the whole day. He was impressed with Synthetic's ROM for the MyTouch when he used my phone and how it wasn't lagging at all. So is there any ROMs for ICS or hell even Jelly Bean with everything working?
The ROM is based off of existz AOSPX.

I'm running this Rom. Everything works except 3d camera. No AOSP ROMs for CDMA have 3d working. Don't download the one in the op, there are newer ones referenced in the thread.

Good looking out! I'll ask if he can go without the 3D camera, (chances are he will). I'll give that a try.

Is there any custom made ROM for VM users?

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).

HTC Evo 3d/ HTC Evo V help

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.
