[Q] Recomended ROM with 3D usage? - HTC EVO 3D

Hello, people, I'm getting a new Evo 3d (x515m GSM), maybe a bad choice this times, but still I love to see some of the 3D (closed?)tecnology.
Since it's old and may be forgotten, I just want to know what's the last ROM you use or at least a reccomended one with full 3d functionality.
I'm ready to wreck my brain to search how to root, s-off, and all of the things needed, still don't wanna mess too much with the ROM if we could have a nice one working from the beggining. :silly:
Thanks a lot for your time, and hope you can help me! :good:
PD: saw some threads but they call android 2.3.x versions, I wanna get ICS or better if there's the chance.

I am on the cdma version so can't recommend any Rom by name but for reference only time based on HTC's will have full 3d. If your not a sense fan try Miui has an ice version built on sense 3.6 so all 3d functions work. Also there is Yet Another sense 4.1 that has working 3d and I believe there gsm version works real well.

Basicaly all sense 3.6 ROMs have full 3d functionality and they are all ICS. So just go to Evo 3d gsm development and choose

Thanks a lot for your help!, now I'm looking between "Yet Another sense 4.1", "cool sense" and "next-gen rom", some of them even got some cpu/gpu tweaks to boost it a little bit.

CPU/GPU tweaks are kernel related, it has nothing to do with ROMs.

Everybody looks for different things and holds different features as priorities or essentials for themselves.
I think the best approach is to get yourself all setup to be able to flash/load different ROMs and be able to test them out. The first one you try might be your favorite, or the 5th. Really hard to say.
If you take some time and read through each ROM OP, you'll see what they emphasize for features and how often they update/make changes/improvements.
Also, once you are setup and familiar with the flashing ROM process, it should become quite simple to move between ROMs gaining valuable personal experience.
If you have any questions around the logistics, let us know! Hope that helps! Welcome to the world of a rooted Android!

These are two of the greatest different in ROMs, mainly due to their base. The sense ROMs are all based on HTC's stock sense ROM code and the AOSP ROMs are all based on Google's straight plain AOSP code.
Quick brief description .. to get a full range of ROMs, probably best to try at least one of each to see the difference. Most popular AOSP ROM is usually CM7. I'm not sure what the most popular custom Sense ROM .. dev board should show ..
Sense! i just love the widgets and all that fancy stuff from HTC

I like infected eternity roms. I just flashed the update which is 1.4.2. Great so far, but the last couple releases have been right on for me. Basicly themed stock but has a infected tweak section in settings for change a few things. Also spot hotspot is enabled. I run stock kernal and get greqt speed and battery. Quad scores for me can hit 3000 linpak 75ish. Has been my daily driver for awhile because i cant do with sense.

hi guys i got a replacement phone for my broken evo 4g and I'm getting the evo 3d tomorrow. i usually dislike when people do this but now i understand sometimes its nice to be given direction when u really don't know the development somewhere. what are the recommended or most used roms for the 3D. maybe a few sense and a few aosp rom names. i am very curious as to what the top dogs of the evo 3D are!
Sense roms:
Viper's redline (best imo)

In addition to the list provided above, some rough methods of being able to gauge popularity/quality are by looking at view/post count on a thread.
Also, skim read through some of the posts in the thread looking for either issues or praise and the quality of the content.
Without being able to read source code, developers who post links to their source should generally be more reliable. Links will usually go to a git/svn/google code/github site for source.
If you're really curious, open up a developers user information section and look at their last 10 posts, and/or last 10 threads they started and that will start to paint a picture of how they spend their time participating in the forum.
I probably take more caution than most before I load software somebody has modified on my device. The above are all great general tips to help anybody who is "new" to a device start to familiarize themselves with the current development scene.
I was very happy to move from the EVO 4G to the EVO 3D. Good luck!
I'm in the same boat, my 3d should be waiting for me when I get home. I've been reading a lot about rooting it this morning, seems a little more involved than the 4g but doable. Then to pick a rom....so many choices, lol
We're comin from a pure power source.
I was just like you guys a few weeks ago, coming from a Evo 4G to a Evo 3D. Hope that you get a 3D without HBOOT 1.5, it's a bit harder to install ROMS and kernels on than you're used to, and you have to void you're warranty and unlock with HTC. Rooting with any other HBOOT is like rooting the Evo 4G, though.
Other than that, there's a lot of similarities between rooting the devices, but I love the Evo 3d a million times more and don't even miss the kickstand.
my $.02 and most is based on you being a seasoned flasher with the 4G.
Pros:
-Much faster and smoother ride overall
-Native 3.0 so you will finally see AND ENJOY all the bells and whistles
-A lot of the really solid 4G devs are either here now exclusive or also doing 3D so you will see some familiar faces
-Really can't go wrong with any rom you chose as they are all very solid in their own rights less the posted quirks that are just to be expected
Cons: (depending on stance)
-Still an EVO so it's not like you get the full "hey I got a new phone!" feeling
-Dev is still in it's infancy stage so not as up to speed as 4G
-HBOOT 1.5 isn't the toughest thing to bypass but does add a few steps to flashing so if you were a flash-a-holic as I was you will definitely slowwww down
-ICS is starting to come along but definitely slower than most phones
Overall you will enjoy the move. 3D you will get over probably about 5 minutes after you turn it on but it's still an Evo so the phone is a beast. The community itself is a little slow but the people here especially the devs are tops in helping out.
Currently I am running OLYPUS ODEX HD V2 and love it. I went from Vipers Redline which I personally experienced a little more solid running but not enough for me to lose the extra features OLYMPUS has.
Well I got lucky I think. The 3d I got has hboot 1.4!
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Very Nice! i would stick with a sense 3.0 rom
ive been useing fresh just for the simple fact of stability not much tweaks done
unlike the evo 4g there isnt much of any feature complete aosp roms unless you like miui style
wow thanks a lot to all of you for the replies. i honestly didn't expect much. i feel very welcome here as a new 3D user. i just opened it and i love it! can't wait to root it and try these out. thanks again to all you i really appreciate it.

[FAQ] 5MP*2 or 5MP+2MP ? How to find out and why ...

I opened this thread to clarify some things once and for all regarding these questions:
"Does the 2D camera work for me in this AOSP?", "Do I have 5MP+2 MP or 5MP+5MP?" or "Software information tells me I have 5M * 2 ... Is this correct?"
1. Why this thread?
Maybe you do not even know what that means for you ... Well, let me begin that way: This thread is only important for GSM Evo 3D users. Why? Because CDMA Evos got all the same lenses: 5MP+2MP.
Now, I explain you why you GSM users should know. Different than the CDMAs, we got two different "camera lense resolutions". What that means? I hope you know that your Evo 3D is able to take 3D pictures, and for this you need at least 2 lenses. But in fact the problem is that you cannot take 3D pictures in 5MP because of seperate technichal issues ... (3D bases on 2 different perspectives, so camera has to take two pics. Therefore you cannot get same refresh rate nor resolution)
Those ones are 5MP twice, and one 5MP sensor and 2MP sensor.
Our lovely devs cooked us some very nice ROMs, also some AOSP / MIUI or ICS Sense 4.0 ... You may imagine that those are only ports or half working builds as evo gsm is not officially supported by those. Main problems are all the same crap: 3D, Camera & (Bluetooth / Phone got fixed mostly) ... Why? Because Sense is not open source code so devs get problems fixing the camera libs or 3d drivers. But suddenly they got some Evos working 2D camera on AOSP and some not ... And thats where the lense resolution gets important.
And whats better? Then, I´d say it depends on what you want: Working camera for aosp and ics sense 4.0 or just a bit higher 3d pics resolution? I can tell you, you can be happy if you have newer 5mp+2mp! You will have working camera for AOSP, MIUI and Sense 4.0 - but "oldfag" users dont be sad. At least you can install higher resolution amaze camera though its not too much
2. WTF?! Why did HTC do that shi´t?!
Well, thats not too hard to understand. First waves of sold Evos in Europe had two 5mp lenses. As I already explained software cannot use the second 5mp because of 3D function. So, HTC was not stupid and thought: "Why waste some money on useless 5MP lenses if we also could just integrate a second 2mp?"
And thats what theyve done: They stopped production of "old" Evos and since about January 2012 you can expect to have bought the new evo if it was a new one ...
3. Okay, how to find out now?
I hope you could follow me to this point ... If not, read it again slowly, ask a noob question or leave the thread without any new knowledge
Seriously, this one is not done in 5 seconds. There are two ways: First one is, well, easy but not really accurate. Second is, of course, more "expensive" but gives you exact results.
One thing to say: DO NOT USE ANY OF THESE APPS LIKE ELIXIR OR GO TO SOFTWARE INFORMATION ... INFO IS INCORRECT AND USELESS - TRUST ME! Software Info gives you all the way 5M*2 as Elixir gives you 5MP + 4MP
Easy way: When was your Evo 3D GSM bought?
--> Pre-Ordered last year? Well, there is definitely no chance you have the newer 5mp+2mp resolution
--> New one from last year? Nice, chance is very low that you got newer resolution but its worth a try, so if you are at this point you should go to second way
--> Used one from end of last year to this year? Good, higher chance that you got newer resolution, but still you should go to second way
--> German "MediaMarkt" or "Saturn" Evo 3D from 2012 special offer? Very good, you can be sure up to 99% to have newer resolution. Try your favour ROMs, I think I can promise you it will work UPDATE: Some people owning these ones report 5MP*2 so rather do accurate way
--> New one from this year ... 99% newer resolution, Id promise 100%
For sure, I didnt forget "hard" way:
UPDATE: Please dont forget this only works for gingerbread sense 3.0/3.5 ROMS !
- Install latest 0.11 amaze camera apk from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302943
First, try higher resolution one and find out whether 3D pics crashing for you. If so, you got newer 5MP+2MP and happy flashing
Second, if does not crash, you got older 5mp*2.
Thats it. Have to admit that this one was not really hard
- If you already installed an AOSP GingerBread you dont need my thread because you see whether camera works or not .. - if you have ics then youll have to try flash another Sense 4 ROM anyway
4. Last but not least ...
Thanks for reading! I hope this helped you out at all! If you have any remaining questions or additions, dont hesitate to reply!
And if it helped you out, please gimme a thanks for my little work
Excuse me if my English is not perfect. Dared to keep spelling mistakes or missing commas
Greetings
Another way to find out if you have 5+5 or 5+2 is to just flash an aosp gb rom. if it works you have 5+2 if it doesn't you have 5+5.
i think the amaze camera method is quite solid, and concrete
checking bootloader date can be wrong, cause S-OFF devices are all showing JULY , and mine before S-OFF was August
so hboot definitely changed the date of the bootloader
anyways, good write up
and, first to press THANKS button
Nice guide, thanks for clearing this up for people, maybe if this thread is kept alive we will stop seeing the same question asked over and over!
Sucks for me though, well kinda, cos I have the early 5*2 ah well. I will only be really gutted if aosp gets 3d functiality

Alright but I wanted to show you the easier way BEFORE flashing another rom cause many users are much too lazy for that. Sense of this thread is to find whether camera will work for you without flashing and clear out some questions.
@jcsy, thanks m8. Didn't mean to be bootloader date but when you bought your phone will fix that.

I think Amaze camera crashes on leaked ICS rom anyway, so for people already on that, this method won't work. So they have to flash a rom and see if it works really.

I was just curious as if someone had a knowledge of the ice roms and their differences, things working or not working, I have and still am reading and researching to find the best or most stable Rom.. any help would be appreciated...
you should specify cdma or gsm
however you also need to consider it's all about perspective
currently im using viper rom for sense 4.0 (cdma)
however i like the senseless rom - SOS M - it's clean, it's fast, it's sense base without the sense bs

Sorry I'm CDMA, have tried a lot of them I also like sos m, I'm curious as if any of the roms mess with signal strength some I've used put up great bars, and some seem to not get past a couple bars not sure weather its my phone or the roms, I have a do read a lot and all of the post, I just thought it be a good idea as a comparing guide that's all.. but I'm hboot 1.4 s-off, with the updated firm wear, I guess I was st asking more of what you guys like and is stable for a good daily driver.. didn't mean to offend anyone.
No I don't think you offended anyone, as there are alot of noobs on xda and after awhile you kind of get sick of the silly questions, that's all. Anyways roms are personal thing, some dudes like blondes, some like redheads(me), every rom has it's advantages and disadvantages , some work better on some peoples phones than others for many different reasons, I find a rom that I like and stay with it. Kernels is where it's at now, that makes a difference, my opinion

Yes I have seen the many repetitive questions, and its hard to read threw all of them, I've gotten to the point of were I'm pretty confident about roms witch I tend to change like underwear lol until I find one that works pretty good for what I need, I've started reading all about the kernels and what they do, but not sure if I'm ready to mess with those yet... So being my second phone in the evdo line witch I really miss my EVO 4g, am torn between the galaxy s3 n the new EVO LTE, I heard the Samsung is more developer friendly, but guess I gotta take a spin on them to see, I've noticed there's not a lot of love for the 3d... But thanks for the point in direction....
Just look through all the crap find a couple of good developers follow there work and you good to go

Thank you! I tried using a Sense 4.0 rom and I loved it but the only problem was no 4G so I had to go back to 3.6. I knew about the lack of 3D and that was ok with me, but WiMAX sometimes is the only way I can get decent data so it will be nice to get go back to Sense 4.0. Unfortunately I don't think 3D has much of a chance, but that would just perfect the phone, why HTC decided to go with Sense 3.6 over the much better Sense 4.0 is beyond me...
Newt! U R Back !!!

I'm sure that if the testing was successful this thread would have been updated with that information.

Oh, cool! I tried this ROM when it first came out and really liked it, but since 3g is completely unusable I couldn't use it for more than several hours at a time (mainly while I was at work). I vowed to really make this my daily once it was complete (4g).
I had actually kinda forgotten about it since then.
4g in a sense 4 rom would be awesome.

I'm going to propose a controversial theory. Let me preface it by saying I believe newtoroot to be an excelent if not the best actual developer on our device. He brought Sense 4.0 before anyone and it was nearly flawless on the first drop. That being said, I think one of two things:
1. Newtoroot was playing us. (I doubt it, but someone suggested this and anything is possible.)
2. Newtoroot had high hopes, but it was more difficult than anticipated and is either taking longer or has been given up on.
Those being said. In his thread elsewhere he has stated that he is out of work and trying to find some. As well as dealing with the things that being out of work bring. So lots of personal stuff may indeed have gotten in the way.
I would say that if it were possible, or at least easier, one of the several other developers working on Sense 4.0+ roms would have attempted of done it already. I don't personally use WiMax often so it is not a big deal. I do appreactiate all the devs that work on our device. I usually swap phones every few months, but have kept my EVO 3D since the day it came out. Next summer when my 2 years is up I will upgrade to something with LTE hopefully, but till then I can still feed my flashing adiction and gets lots of performance out of this still powerful phone.
I do think it's a tough nut to crack. My theory is that's why we have Sense 3.6 and not Sense 4 - even HTC had trouble getting WiMAX and 3d working on 4 (or didn't want to put the resources behind it since both are relatively dead, at least for now).
It would have been nice to have 4G on it, although I don't even get 4G in my area..

Does anyone know what happened with newtoroot's 4G on Sense 4.1?
Haven't heard anything for quite a while now.

The last I saw, that thread got locked for some reason.
