IMPORTANT: Evo 3D is our (Howpathetic's, Želvica's and Snoob25's) only phone, so obviously we don't want to brick it. Maybe we have found a tester, that can risk it since Evo 3D is his secondary phone. EVERYONE who is willing to help us with his device can PM us. If we can't find anyone we could ask users if they want to donate for a test device (used Evo 3Ds are around 30-40€ here)

a ported rom for personal use when we'll reach at least bootanimation we'll think about a proper rom, a direct port from villec2 or a port from sensation (with proper permissions)
Yep, can be booted again
Just a thumbs up for not letting go of this device as HTC did. That's the spirit of xda I adore. Also if you achieve to make a ROM with 3D support I will scrap or postpone my plans to get a new device this/next year since the basic reason I want to scrap this device is that I have to either suffer from the slowness of those butchered stock versions of ICS+3.6/4 Sense and keep 3D functions or sacrifice 3D for a fast and super responsive 4.1.x+.
Devs here did an amazing job (and almost did the impossible) to improve as much as they could those clunky 3.6/4 Sense + ICS versions out there but they were really trying to do the impossible since all those versions pretty like sucked out of the box, obviously because they were results of either HTC not caring about that device they were making the ROM for (the case of all Sense 3.6 devices), or they had no idea what they were doing and they were feeling like being experimental (all devices with Sense 4 at launch), resulting into terribly optimized ROMS for devices that can do alot better than that. It's not like ICS was a real step forward in performance compared to GB so let alone an ICS rom built at that bad period from HTC (I can't say that though for JB+ based versions of Sense though, these are good and feel as they should).
If you want any testing, I'm here to help without a second thought.
I have two 3d's. One I use daily at work for music and another sits in a drawer at home. "might" be thinking about donating to a dev... They are both Sprint branded devices meaning CDMA... I can also do some testing but this is kernel for gsm only?
waaooo~ It is amazing news!! Maybe after my exam this month, I probably have time to test that.
GOOD WORK!!

Yo, I've been waiting to jump into Sense porting for a device like this. It would be awesome if you were willing to let your spare one go, as I am super excited about getting a Sense 5 rom booting for the Evo 3D. I'd be really happy to do testing for these guys working on this kernel. I've done prior work in Sense porting for the Nexus One and the Incredible 2.
Thanks

Alright,, I believe there is a problem with the screen on it or the power button though. When trying to wake it from sleep only the navigation buttons will light up and a reboot is necessary. But it should be a great testing device.

For now testing is limited, we determined that kernel doesn't brick anything, now it's all a matter of coding! About that spare evo, that could be helpful, I'd say ask howpathetic through pm if he needs it, and specify that it is a shooter

good luck with the hard work
Did you make sure to build the boot.img with the proper ramdisk offset? Kernel's default ramdisk offset is 16MB, but the 3.4 kernel is big, so the ramdisk load offset needs to be set to 20MB (0x01400000). If you don't do this then the kernel will keep bootlooping. USB parameters in the ramdisk also need to be updated in order to use ADB for when you're debugging later on.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
EDIT: Wait, is the goal to get a 3.4 kernel working, or a Sense 4+ ROM booting? If you're just trying to get Sense 4+ booting then getting a 3.4 kernel working isn't necessary. All of the Qualcomm drivers that make 3.4 special can be backported to 3.0, which can be used to boot Sense 4+.

Hello Snoob
Well after I have seen the title of this Post i was like oh yeeees ;D
If more testers are needed I have a spare HTC EVO 3D GSM version (actually my first one that I bought myself when it was released)
I always loved it cause it was heavy, well builded and I felt like having something premium in hand (samsung felt always cheap to me)
Well after all the years I had to change the digitizer but unfortunate it was a chinese copy and the undersite of it peel of and now i have like a nasty circle on the lcd (will fix it cause my friend told me to remove the digitizer and a a scrren portector on the lcd and put the digiter bad so that nasty circle will go away) and the front aluminium bezel felt of (old glue ofc)
So after all that and I hade not the time to fix it I bought another EVO 3D because I like it that much.
But now I have a HTC Sensation ¸that I got as a gift from a friend in top shape and my EVOs are sleeping
Yeah I know long story but the point is that the first one even with all the problems works 100% so I would like to test for yaa kernel and even ROMs cause I always wanted to see sense 5 on EVO 3D happen but dont have the skill my own.
So my testing device is; HTC EVO 3D GSM version (no carrier version)
PM me please If you decide that you need another tester
And Big Kudos To You Guys For Still Suporting The EVO 3D
Just a little note .. I think most of us want to see a Sense 5 in our EVO3D... (and not the 4+, which is very similar to sense 4.1, at least graphically). So if you have the same possibility to make a sense 4+ or a sense 5, maybe you could do a survey.. so if the people say sense 5 rom (or sense 4+) you can focus your energies on a single project
Sorry for bad english and thanks for everything!!!:fingers-crossed:

THIS THREAD IS FOR THE HTC EVO 3D, IF YOU OWN A SENSATION, THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU TO EMAIL ME, POST HERE, OR DOWN-RATE MY THREAD.
BECAUSE OF YOUR ACTIONS, I WILL NOT POST A KERNEL FOR OTHER DEVICES.
I am sharing my work out of the kindness of my heart, I ask for no money, i expect nothing in return. Im basically doing you all a favor.
Im not trying to prove anything, nor do I have anything to gain from sharing. I know there are a lot of other developers out there that are better than me, and I never said I was the best. I gave features to the 3D that prior to my kernel, were not available on any 8x60 device that im aware of. (USB HOST MODE, +mA, HBR BLUETOOTH, HW ACCEL, QUICKCHARGE, HID MODE... just to name a few)
Due to the drama that continues to come from sensation users, my goals of making this available to other devices have been discontinued. I have enough stress with family, friends, and my cats, I dont need the stress of haters.
QUESTION AND ANSWER THREAD FOR MY KERNELS IS HERE ->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21062211#post21062211
Please try to keep this thread related to kernel issues and development only.

wow... i see some of my code in OTHERS gits with a commit date/time that is AFTER mine..with NO CREDIT given... freakin nice..
The following statement was kanged form Faux123's xda post.. and i wish to ask the same as he did:
Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is of course covered under GPL version 2. Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. I have donated a large sum of my free time to hack this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in parts or in its entirety, I kindly ask you mention its origins and to send me a pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source. Thank you

1) I learned that it is not "proper" to thank someone in my OP, so all THANKS will be in the GIT Commit log, so do not expect to see anyone thanked in my OP
2) Changelog will be in my Commit Log at code.google.com
Features: (all may not be available as of yet, and some may require support from your rom)
- HTC BASE, no NDA or C&D to worry about
- ICS Compliant GPU with OC (2D and 3D) Acceleration) (also provides full hardware acceleration for Sense 3.5 and MIUI and partial acceleration for Sense 3.0)
- ICS Touch Screen Drivers
- USB HOST MODE
- ZSL Camera (2D working, 3D a work in process)
- +mA (charger over hdmi/mhl)
- OCed FSB
- Improved Sound Drivers (the same sound drivers used in AOSP of RLS9 that people loved)
- 100% CIQ Free
- HBR BLUETOOTH Drivers
- Additional File System Support: CIFS and NTFS read/write
- GAN (WiFi Calling)
- TUN/VPN
- Bluetooth HID Mode
- Use Qualcomm and Monster Audio source as educational tools to improve and fix things without directly using their code.
- 2-way call record
- more to come
Basicly, RLS9 without beats on a HTC base and a older verison of linux.
What this will never have:
- full true 100% beats, no kernel will "legally" ever have this
- CIQ Emulation (This will be closed source, if released)
Knwon Issues:
1) HTC Base (this should speak for itself)
2) Not compiled yet, so not avail for download
3) Sense 3.0 roms may have gpu glitches

DISCLAIMERS:
1) overvolting/undervolting your phone may cause biit looping, or break it, brick it, cause it to melt, etc... do this at your own risk, and only if you know what you are doing. If YOU break your phone, please do not post on this thread about it.
2) If you OC'ed/OV'ed/UV'ed and now are in a boot loop or your phone is slow, or acting weird or just died - this means you changed something to a value your phone didnt like. I added the ability to OV/UV for those who know the risks and how to use it. Please do not post issues you may have after you OV/UV your phone, we may laugh at you.
3) overclocking your phone can break it, as you can see from reading this thread, this kernel has been 100% stable for quite a few, but some had issues. Overclock at your own risk.
4) not every phone can be over clocked, anything over 1.56 is considered unstable (on any of my kernels... well ok... most any ones kernel)
5) Please DO NOT use any task killers (or additional INITD scripts), they DO NOT improve performance nor battery life. They INTERFERE with your phone's stability (more crashes) and App compatibilities (Forced Close).

HOW TO INSTALL THIS KERNEL
... TEAMWIN RECOVERY IS RECOMMENDED
1) boot into recovery
2) back up your system (just in case)
3) wipe delvik and cache
4) flash the kernel
5) re-wipe delvik and cahce (dont ask why, but the posts here on XDA prove it fixed a lot of issues people where having)
6) reboot the phone
7) let it sit for 10 minutes
8) reboot the phone again (normal reboot)
9) enjoy
*for best results - flash at the same time you flash your rom: use my modifed superwipe tool - flash your rom (dont reboot), flash the kernel, wipe cache and delvik, reboot, let sit for 10 min, and reboot again.

What is the changes from the first rls001 kernel to the new rls001 kernel? The file size is a bit different.
I'm glad to see these kernels back. They get better every new release. Excellent work, as always. I understand about the limited time you can devote now, I'm gonna have to back off some myself for family reasons.

hmm, i only been gone for a couple days but it seems like so much have change. I Literally rooted my phone just to have "Beats by Dre, Beats Audio" and the only way i could find this possible was with chad.goodman's kernel and theANDROIDosX's rom. Sucks to read both of you are going through some difficulties but hang in there, life adventurally will get better.
(not to long ago i watched this moive, and this "guy" got in trouble for making something that big corporate couldnt come close to doing, so B.C. went out of there way to shut him down, well this "guy" hated the fact that the stuff B.C. was producing sucked balls. So the "guy" decided to say screw it and keeped on making what he was making for him self, but one of his good buddies just happen to share it for him with out him knowing creating new names, emails, and so on to get the work out there) dont know where im going with this but i just found the movie interesting and decided to share =)
For those of you on sense, I just beats themed the shiznit outta stock music player, will test, and hopefully upload tomorrow
Glad you see you're back in business Chad.
Just remember "...jealousy is just love and hate at the same time."
Hi All ,,
A. Why HTC sense ?!
1- It's a thought and developers may give it a chance
2- I'm talking about a fully functional launcher with all the widgets very well implemented and displayed.
2.1- Enjoy watching this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sfRaWBgWao
2.2- Enjoy these pictures !!!

1- It's has a quad core processor along with the same system partions like HTC devies.
2- We have the kernel code resources released which might help.
3- It will be the most incredibly fascinating combination of the best software inside the best hardware ever ?!
Do we have anybody trying to HTC sense 4.0 to non HTC devices specifically Samasung ones ?! The answer is Yes see below ;
http://www.sense4all.nazuka.net/?cat=8
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657050
C. What we need from end users / thread quick repliers ?!
1- If you support this idea by any means you are welcome to post your comments .
2- If you don't support this idea and have no positive comment's kindly please don't flood this thread with discouraging words.
3- If you are a developer ( Unlike me ) who knows what are the obstacles and difficulties that may arise in doing this project which make commencing it is a futile idea please and please write in details what can't be done by you, who knows, may be somebody can help to solve it.
Thanx and PEACE
I really love this TouchWiz. It's pretty snappy and feels very premium to look at. I only hoped it had some transition effects. Haven't tried Sense though.
I would really love to have htc sense on the sprint samsung galaxy s2.

Yeah,,, Samsung had improved TouchWiz a little bit but IMHO the powerful hardware and the weather widget made the huge difference but essentially still you can say it's just a normal launcher nothing of a big interest in TouchWiz.
Now just have a look on HTC sense especially version 4 and you'll probably get to know what real launcher development looks like !!!!

You touch a deep bleeding wound inside me
No one on SGS II forums is actually willing to start porting HTC sense or even think about ( Except Swamp Goblin who has not shown any interest lately may be he is busy or I don't really know ).
Hopefully somebody their will take the challenge and try to do it
Will it seems we need to wait for Teamhacksung to release CM9 for S III for devs to start porting
peace
there is a chance of this but it will be hard cos sense is kinda in a affair with the cpu if you can break it up then maybe btw i also saw that a dev said is was impossible we will try(im not a dev but i have a few mates on rootwikiz

Thanks brother
If you have willing developers why not to recruit them to achieve this great project. Believe me it is at least doable ,, Sense for all team got it working on Nexus S devices although it is a single core processor and the resolution is much much lower. Now Qube2 is willing to help but he is waiting for CM9 which will be the best rom base to strt with. Kernel developers also needed and hopefully they will be got attracted to such a project.
Peace
Sense always has and always will be this ugly bloated stain on Android
I really don't get what people see in it, it's just UGLY, and it's slow and buggy, even the videos praising it you can see it slowing down the OneX or being unresponsive from time to time. Seriously HTC should have called it quits on Sense years ago

Firstly and at last it's a user preference, I've tried it on HTC one X it it's buttery smooth especially when developers boosted it's performance kernel wise as well as launcher wise. Check the HTC one X forum and see how tremendously they have optimized it .
Apart of from that HTC from porting is really a challenge that developers may get excited to take and experience.
IMHO, HTC SENSE UI is the best ever called UI with all the beautiful Widgets and social apps implementations.
Hopefully starting working on this will be soon.

I was just thinking. If you want Sense then why not just buy the One X?
It's not like it's a terrible phone or something.
I had it for a month, but come on both hardwares are almost incomparable especiall the screen type. Now just check the performance and you will see S 3 is far a head.
It will come.
I just can't wait till CM9 that way we get Sense 4.0 on this beast.
Touchwiz is the biggest abomination inflicted on vanilla android, its awful looking, unintuitive, and simply does alot of things worse than stock ICS on my old Galaxy Nexus did.
At least HTC have tried to go the right way, and limit customisations to areas that can do with improvement, and not include anything thats alot worse than stock. The TW4 launcher is fugly, the folders implementation is Samsung giving ICS **** folders we haven't seen since Froyo on stock.

Hi bro, if you have any expertise in building or kernel development , maybe you can join the sense 4 all team and help them . We can start at least alphas by you

Wise comment thanks.
It's absolutely time to port Sense over. I'm not purchasing another HTC, SGS III has the edge. Perhaps porting Sense 4.0 over before the Official US launch could spark interest and more development.

I'm not a fanboy, would love to experience sense 4.0 on my GS3
OP, you started threads about this for for the SGS2 without success.
Because of this, I see no reason at all why you don't just buy a HTC device.
If you're so desperate for Sense, just do it.
The SGS2 never got Sense and that's a year old - why do you think the SGS3 - one week old - will get it ported??
If sense is slow on one x, imagine it on a device not optimized ..why do people tend to make **** ****tier than it is?
I agree with the post above..you bought sgs 3 because you thought maybe it had sense? Why do you keep buying phones with touchwiz?

Hello everyone. coMOD is a modification designed for users who haven't unlocked their bootloader, but have used the root exploit. It's designed to give you the "custom ROM experience."
This is my first venture into this area, so please don't be too harsh.
I understand if there is no demand for this. If that is the case, I will take appropriate action to have the thread closed.
In short, what is this?
This is not a ROM (in the traditional sense)
Slightly Debloated
Includes extra (what I believe are essential) root-friendly apps
Designed For Users who haven't taken the HTCDev Unlock (it could be used if you have, but use an actual full custom ROM instead)

Great idea! Now those who don't want to 'void' their warranty and give HTC their device information can still enjoy the benefits of custom(ization) ROMs in an all-in-one package.

That's great. thanks for share.

I for one, have not installed a custom recovery, so I will be trying this.
You can also throw in the camera.apk with the shutter sound disable option.
This is a cool idea. Assuming it's windows only?
This seems like a great idea for those who haven't unlocked bootloader. But, since they have no custom recovery for getting out of sticky situations, do you see potential for 'sticky situations' . (I'm not familiar with what exactly you've done here)
This is a great idea for some. Clever. Thanks.
Edit: I see in your quick settings you got blue toggles instead of green,...nice

Absolutely, I can throw in the modified camera. In fact, you can run mod now, and I'll have up a patch that specifically changes the camera later.

Thank you. At the moment, it's Windows-only. I didn't figure that there would be much demand on other platforms (I guess I was wrong). I should be able to throw together a Linux version relatively quickly. Mac OS, is slightly iffy. I think that it would be best for me to stick with the single platform for the time-being (just until I know how much demand there is for this project).
I apologize,

Thanks scottspa74! I don't foresee the no-custom recovery part being a large problem. I recommend rerunning the RUU if someone wants to return the phone back to a stock state. I know that this is less than ideal, but it's really the only thing that I can think of that would work right off the top of my head. Now, due to the way I built this version of the mod, nothing is actually completely removed -- it's "frozen" in a way. It's a little bit sloppy, but I'm looking to keep safety first, then when I know that everything is okay, I'll release a version that actually removes the old stuff. I strive to make sure that the things that I release aren't inherently broken. If something I release renders the phone unusable, then I haven't done my job. I will pull my download, fix the problem, and release a new version.
I will stress however, this is no substitute for a fully bootloader-unlocked phone with custom recovery and a custom ROM. It's simply designed to give stock-rooted users that taste of custom ROM "goodness" without fear of voiding warranties (everything I have read has pointed to HTC's Unlock not causing any problems with returning the phone to Sprint for repair; still, I'm trying to ease some minds by providing this as a temporary alternative).
Thanks,
~co~
Edit: I can't really take credit for the blue toggles (or any of these other wonderful mods). They happen to be a result of applying one of the HTC Themes. Happily, theme coloring does work.
I have added the Camera APK with sound toggle to the second post of the thread.
Thank you to SteelH and flex360 for this!

I am unlocked so I won't be using this, but I just wanted to say that this is a really great idea! I see it as a nice stepping stone for those that are not quite ready to commit to the idea of unlocking. They can test the waters, so to speak.

I do want to stress, just for the record, the mods included in this package were created by some wonderful developers, and cannot take credit for their work. I've just been experimenting with a way to get their work into the stock ROM so that (in theory) more people can enjoy their work.

Since there is not active development on cm9 for the cdma version, but we do have a build. You can talk about it here.
What this is:
A thread to discuss cm9 and help each other out with problems. Maybe just maybe someone will pick it back up and run with it. It's the community's problem now.
What this isn't:
A thread to discuss what just transpired. Do not discuss things that you all know are considered warez. Do not flame or harass each other.
This is my thread, you step out of line you are gone. We have already burnt our fair share of bridges in this forum, now it's time to work together.

Crossing fingers that someone picks this up. I just switched to this and love it. Quick question, anyone able to get track info via Bluetooth playback. In my car, there seems to be something transmitting, but the fields are empty. I doubt it's my mp3 tagging, who knows. Otherwise, this is one awesome build.
I'll prob get some grief for my mod, but that's how much I dig this rom.
Really hoping somebody takes over, Devil Toast was the best ROM on the CDMA Evo 3D imo.

Surely the stuff from the GSM version of Devil Toast can be ported to the CDMA version, right? Once Agrabren starts releasing updates for the GSM version, that is.

Pretty much this, although he's switching to the GSM Evo 3D rather than both the CDMA & GSM Evo 3D. So there may be some hope left, but hopefully Agrabren will change his mind for those of us who really appreciated his amazing work.
I just don't get this attitude of "gimmie,gimmie". The effort these devs make for no money is awesome, people quit complaining. They will fix stuff, patience is the key. I have donated a number of times, I appreciate their efforts. The lack of respect here amazes me sometimes.

The last nexus devices had onscreen buttons because the manufacturer decided not to use hardware keys. It is possible to have stock android without onscreen keys. The galaxy S4 is about to release pure android and it will not have on screen keys because the S4 has hardware buttons.

This is simple. They will just map it like they did on the sense version. The 3 on screen buttons are coded into the android OS but can be coded to use the hardware buttons instead. This has been done many times and is very easy... I think your thinking is backwards. Software keys are just an option of pure android that the phone company decides to use or not use. It is not set in stone at all. It is just as easy for them to map the normal buttons to do the same. In fact we already have pure android roms that probably either dont have software buttons or you can turn them off. I had the One X and ran it that way for a long time...

I really do not know what direction my thinking is going , really
I never have had an Android phone with the hardware buttons (coming from GNexus), so I was always thinking that the pure Google Android has 3 software buttons and all the tinkering with the hardware buttons (including the number of buttons) are done by phone producers and somehow can not be called "pure" android experience.
Apparently the fact that the Galaxy will be offered via GooglePlay, tells that Google is still ok to substitute 3 software buttons with 3 hardware, but I do not feel like Google will be engaged into remapping something in their stock OS for two-buttoned HTC.
But ......qui vivra vera

...the first 2 nexus devices had 4 hardware buttons:
By that logic the 3 button should have blown their minds? Of course it can be done... it is a very easy fix. But there is no need to keep acting like google would not honor them if htc wanted to toss Android on the One.
At this point we only have speculation, we don't know if it is HTC that will just remove sense and leave it pure or if google will also sell on the play store. It may not even happen and we can just enjoy the roms. But to argue that they wont because of two buttons just seems silly to me. They will just use the same layout that sense has now.

It will probably be the exact save hardware as our phone which means we will get all the upgrades and roms for it. We if we want a break from sense we can enjoy this as an alternative.
From what I have read it isn't going to be another HTC One just without sense. I have read (from multiple sources) that it is going to be a totally new device that may follow in the One's footsteps from a hardware standpoint but will still be a completely different device. I also read that the One on Att will have an update rolling out in 2 weeks. Hopefully it contains 4.2.2

Yeah and I read this from both TechnoBuffalo and CNET. They could both be wrong about it being a whole new device. But at this point everything being said is mostly speculation and we won't know anything for sure until htc announces it.

I personally don't doubt a new device(they do that every year after their flagship is announced), the question is will they have the HTC One with pure android or not. Something we may not know until they confirm. Either way I'm happy with Sense 5 and don't need it, just a cool idea. Our devs will get the Rom stable enough without it but it would be cool to have one without issues.

What I'm hoping is they offer a one time payment deal that allows you to download aosp direct to your one. That way I can have either sense 5 based or the latest pure android.

That sounds like something that only happens in dream. As good of an idea that is I don't see them ever doing that. If they just make one for the HTC One i would prefer our devs grabing the image and making it into a rom. If they did go that route we would probably have to use stock recovery anyways. I'm hoping for added goodies in 4.2.2 sense 5 sounds so worth it
