...or would you wait for the official HTC Sense Jellybean? -- which is WHO KNOWs when
Dropping Sense has been my first wish for every sense phone i've owned.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I would stop everything I was doing and immediately flash that bad boy. Not a second thought.

Not forever, but I'm not rooting until CM10 works.

I can't wait until the AOKP or CM10 ROMS are available. I will install one of those and not think twice about it.
AOSP all day everyday! Screw Sense!!!!

I had the galaxy nexus and got rid of it because it felt cheap.
Swype is starting to be a good alternative to the stock sense keyboard so I would gladly install AOSP JB

SwiftKey keyboard will blow your mind FYI if you've never tried it. Way better than either of the aforementioned keyboards.

As I love the camera software on this phone, I am not sure I would want to lose Sense camera
I ran Cyanogen on my OG Evo... but I have really come to appreciate much of what sense has to offer.
I think that between Car Mode, Camera App and Dialer (all of which I use every day) I could not stray away from sense for very long. I know that there are 3rd party apps that emulate what sense can do but they really aren't up to the level that sense is.
I would definitely flash it to check it out but I'm pretty sure I would return to sense in short order. I hope that the official HTC Jellybean / Sense combination will be as awesome as I think it can be.
Deck already has cm10 booting, so give it a week or two. Check the cm thread for the video.

What features of the dialer do you like? If it is the "T9" aspect of it, you can definitely get that elsewhere. If I'm not mistaken, CM7 had that before Sense did.

Totally agreed, I really love the camera software and the continuous shot mode. The camera aspects of the phone is what really sold me in getting this device.

I definitely don't dislike CM... I just like the functionality of sense (beyond the widgets). I feel the dialer is just laid out better in sense - easier to navigate (for me). It is the lesser of all the things that I mentioned but something I noticed nonetheless.
I was looking at a gs3 and my EVO side by side. I know that both have the same processor.
What I wanted to know is why does Sammy seem to be able to make the interface so smooth? Don't get me wrong,this phone is HTC's smoothest yet, but the frame rate is still not as consistent as the galaxy. They both have similar insides and are built upon the same os, so what does Sammy do to achieve this?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Your asking the evo 4G lte forums why the s3 is so smooth?
Honestly, it's probably sense, but touchwiz looks like crayola designed it

I agree, it is probably Sense. But I have used both, and I would take Sense over TouchWiz any day.

I def agree. People like touchwiz because its bright and catches your eye quickly. But underneath, its weak.

I think HTC is a poor software company. Grand ambitions but they never execute really. And, I don't get it really. I bet they literally lose sales due to the stutters in the sense launcher.
I really loved sense. It's aesthetically pleasing, efficient, and has some of the best widgets I've used. But the stutter when switching home screens was too much. I mean, devs can lock down the framerate and eliminate lag but HTC doesn't think to do that? Blows my mind.
Again, its the sense launcher. Rather than root, I installed novalauncher. Smooth as butter. Significantly smoother than sense. And, the launcher is installed on top of sense. Shows you how great the hardware is and how poorly optimized sense is.
Maybe we'll get an OTA that'll address these issues. I hope so. I did read somewhere ages ago that HTC only had 4 months to design sense 4.0 so that may be the source of the problem. Maybe they've got something up their sleeve when they roll out jellybean.
Try a launcher like apex or nova prime if you want a smoother experience.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
the current launcher is actually not that bad, as i am using the enhanced stock rom. its just always stymied me why the frame difference, and I agree that it seems that Samsung has slightly better programmers.
But honestly Sense definitely has more utility than touchwiz
I have my EVO 3d pretty much exactly how I want it. 1st question is if I up grade I will have to re install everything won't I?
2nd, what new features will I get?
The evo 3D wasn't built for ice cream sandwich, so you can't get all of what ICS has to offer. I personally am disappointed with ics on my 3D.

Actually ics is available for evo 3d as an upgrade, there is a new version of sense 3.6 which gives you ics plus some nice features on sense, new homescreen and dock, there's some minor tweaks, to many to go into detail. Now sense 4 is as available but it was not designed for the evo, so there are minor things which don't work but it's overall much nicer with more shortcuts and improvements. Hope this helps, Sense 3.6 with ics will improve overall performance, minor over gb but improvements.

you're right - the evo3d was not built for ICS - but HTC has built ICS for the evo3d
ICS has been integrated into a full system update to the phone , unrooted
so. you get everything the evo3d has to offer - 3d pictures and video, 4g wimax, and everything else supported by the makers of the phone
plus a better and faster system with much better battery life and features , over gingerbread
.
so what are you talking about?

I don't understand what you mean. You build the software for the hardware not the other way around. It's just a little tiny bit easier to change software than hardware...

its ok - i dont think anyone really understood
to answer the OP - you wont have to reinstall anything - the device will update itself (if we are talking about official htc OTA update) --- if we are talking about rooted developed roms, then yes , reinstall or restore a backup

wow! if this is your answer, then technically any phone that did not come stock with ICS was "not built for ICS" I personally think ics is way better than GB! Multi tasking is a pretty awesome feature! As far as I know, ICS was designed to work better on dual core phones... the EVO3D was one of the first dual core phones sprint released, so I would say that it utilizes ICS perfectly

It's disappointing that HTC gives you half a** quick settings in the pull down menu for ICS. No on/off selection for wifi nor auto screen orientation. You can't even add settings or change them.
Tapping on total memory to pull up and close apps takes over 10 seconds at times to load running apps.
I'm definitely rooting this replacement phone.

Well there's also the free dropbox storage for a year. I don't remember whether its +3 or +5 GB, either way its a boon.

Stock ICS on the Evo 3D is great. It's much smoother than stock GB, has some nice new features and there are a few ICS and higher only apps(like Chrome) that you can't install on GB.
Why aren't you running JB?

I had this same frustration as well, until I started using Go Switch widget. Try it. I'm sure it'll solve most of your issues.

I upgraded, not sure how I feel about it yet, but I will have to get used to the new notification sounds
For one, I've never had the double blur 3d bug that soooo plagued GB when viewing 3d pics in gallery.
Two, the 3.0 kernel has given much better power management.
I am having no issues with ICS and very happy with the OS upgrade.

I think ICS is not as smooth as GB, but there are some cool features. The screen off battery life is awesome, but the battery life seems worst when multitasking. I only got about 3 1/2 hours while listening to music, web surfing, texting, ect. On zr3d v 4.3 I got about 4 1/2 hours.
Im really like my ics rom.. d3rp drama.. Chrome and Google Now..
I'm still curious as to why the Droid DNA Jelly Bean ROM has not been ported to the LTE? Any reason? I'm no Dev, so I don't know the first thing about porting, but I figured this would be a relatively easy task?
Evo lte has a dual core processor.....DNA has a quad core processor......i dont think
Its gonna be anywhere near an easy task

Droid DNA has different soc(qualcom s4 pro) and radios
It cannot be ported easily due to lack of drivers.
It's like installing an nvidia driver to an AMD video card. They incompatible that's why its hard to make it work

If anything it would be the camera sound that would hold it up

It may happen someday, it's probably not a high priority issue with the devs working on the AOSP based roms though, stick to Sense if you need MHL... It looks like it's working on some Sense 4 based roms now...

I dont think we will ever see MHL work in a AOSP rom, not so much a CM10 thing as its a AOSP thing. I want to say that it has to do something HTC code and not a google code. I could be wrong, but for as long as AOSP has been on this phone, i dont beleive MHL has ever been support on it
---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------
Actually just jumped over to the dev part, and it appears the MHL is a sense only thing meaning that it does have to do with some sort of HTC that is most likey closed source. So it will probably never happen
thanks I am just trying to figure out if I want the droid razr or this phone and the razr has hdmi and that is part if the phone lol also it runs android 4.1 out of the box now and I am just thinking if it will be supported longer with the devs because of that.

the rez is an older phone so i would imagine that support for it will start to drop in the near feature as HTC moves away from it, there will be less and less support because we are currently getting bits and pieces from other HTC phones to get JB to work as the rez will prob never see it. So as the 8660 platform goes away, we will be seeing less and less stuff happening for this phone...its sad, but its what happens
so would the razr be more supported?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
Well the org RAZR was released around the same time so its prolly going to be in the same situation at some point. It depends what your doing with it. You will have more options with an HTC phone then a moto because moto is notorious for locking the boot loader so devs tend not to work with them. Not that there isn't custom ROMs just not as much. Personally if it was me I would say the rez. I have one and love it and support isn't going to drop tomorrow for it. Its still a good phone with decent hardware. The problem we will run into is new OS support. Like we might not see klp on the rez. It might stop at jb but that yet to be seen. Both phones are very good I know ppl that have the RAZR and love it. The few features you don't get with cm based ROMs with the rez def should not stop you from considering it. The dev for this phone is still strong and still has a huge support following

its a sense only thing because its not just an HDMI port. HTC has the code for the MHL and they aren't sharing.
i think its a money thing. if we had source we could make every phone have MHL
What about the Samsung phones having mhl? Could u use that ?

different drivers and lib files. when it comes to proprietary systems, companies like to keep the source under lock and key. although HTC does have source for sense. but it's above my paygrade to work with it.

The rezound is not bad just pick the razr has hdmi and it has official jellybean so it should.be supported longer that'd be the main thing. Also it is a little cheaper by $30 also it seams in the reviews that the razr is a little faster also benchmarking in is faster by a little. Also it seams that it is a little beater on viewing angle s. But idk I have to get the money from selling things on eBay and that did not happen they never paid ug. Let me know what u think thanks

The screen may be wider, but if you compare them side by side, I believe you will choose the rezound. 720p and much higher PPI. You can watch movies on this phone comfortably and they look great. But for battery, the razr wins, unless you get an extended, but it will make the rezound 2x thick. Still, the screen is something to behold...
Well I think the rezound Is good just some of the things the razr has out weighs the rezound. Thank you to all for you help!
