I just had a question about the potential rooting of the Evo 3d. I assume it would take awhile before any aosp rom is able to be loaded which uses any of the 3d features of the phone (cyanogem roms) HTC sense obviously supports it, and but I didn't think that 3d was included as part of the standard android os with there not being many 3d phones yet.
I don't know too much about how it works, just thought id ask.
Thanks,
J
I just want to know how/if the 3D works in both landscape and portrait modes.
I've wondered these things as well....
Hi,
I decided to purchase a EVO 3D all of a sudden. I have a little time to decide so I want to ask some questions to the owners. Please forgive me, I know that these questions must have been asked several times on this forum and I can find answers if I search. But really I don't have time to search and read many threads for this because I have to decide in 2 or 3 hours.
1. Does it have native 3G video call support using the front cam ?
2. is it supported in new games with nice graphics ?
3. any cons to the other 3D Android phone (LG Optimus 3D) ?
4. is there a CPU comparison to check what is EVO 3D's place among all other Android phones (specially Tegra 2) ?
5. Currently there is not ICS Rom developed for this ROM (I mean with all features). Do you believe we'll have a fully working ICS ROM in near future ?
6. Does it have a good community ?
7. LG Optimus 3D has a nice 3D UI, but EVO 3D does not have such GUI. Is it hard to develop a 3rd party 3D UI ? a 3D launcher maybe ?
Thanks.
I'd appreciate any help...
Not to be terribly rude, but you have over 700 posts, have been a member since 2007, and cannot search to find these answers on your own. They're out there and it doesn't take but a few minutes, not hours.
Short answer...better than most any other phone out there IMO, and definitively better than any LG. Tegra 2 is overrated also.
there are several parameters when you consider to buy a new phone. and sometimes it's better to get answers directly from the owners.
anyway, I've lost my chance to purchase the phone.
I'm thinking; is it really hard to give short answers to just 7 questions about a phone that you own ?
it could save my hours digging to get all that info.
AND; really some of my questions are not answered in these threads...
1. Does it have native 3G video call support using the front cam ?
*This question depends on the network as much as it does on the phone. I've never bothered to try on sprint but I doubt it as I see no way to do it.
2. is it supported in new games with nice graphics ?
*What new games... I only play angry birds.
3. any cons to the other 3D Android phone (LG Optimus 3D) ?
*I can't think of any con's to the phone other than mine being s-on. I don't own an LG nor have I ever owned an LG so I can't comment on their phones.
4. is there a CPU comparison to check what is EVO 3D's place among all other Android phones (specially Tegra 2) ?
*Really I don't notice the CPU being much faster than my Samsung Galaxy.
That's all I know.

HTC is releasing an official ICS update next year for Evo 3d. after that im sure there will be many cooked ICS roms from may different people. Otherwise you can check cyanogen mod see what they are doing.

Yes LGs 3D UI looks nice but is only a small part of the phone. SPB is working on incorprating a 3D option into their launcher, but at the moment its experimental (BETA) and has a few shortfalls but is interesting anyway.
Thanks.[/QUOTE]
thank you, hungry81.
I've already lost my chance to buy it.
but anyway, you say that you didn't have any performance issues with any games. some people are complaining about performance with
GTA3 which was released on friday.
did you try that ?
1.Games... Sorry never installed hardcore games (only built in spiderman 3d game_LOOKS VGOOD TO ME)... But with the evo 3d brand processor it will definitely can play future games
2. Native front camera , yes it works i use skype and ym.. speed depends on network (mine is boost part of sprint netwrk,kinda laggy but works,best if wifi). I hope i answered ur Q On this one
3. Evo vs lg? Never had lg, but i read on magazine (pc magazine i think). Evo 3d vs samsung galaxy s2, galaxy beats evo by amoled screen and just a little bit in processor but thats about it... So if lg brand u wanted is better than galaxy s2 then u know the answer...

I've taken the plunge for the Asda deal and it arrives on Monday with any luck
I'm no stranger to flashing roms (as you can see I've been here on and off since 2006 and the XDA Mini S/Wizard) and the first thing I plan to do is root/s-off - just wanted to ask everyone which is the best rom for a GSM Evo 3D that fulfills the following criteria?:
1) Highest res smooth 3d recording
2) Speed/smoothness
3) Flexibility
I like experimenting with different kernels but as I'm upgrading from the good ol' HD2 which runs pretty much anything you throw at it and has some heavy dev behind it, I'm trying to get a feel for which roms will give me epic performance BUT also allow me tot ake full advantage of the 3d cameras.
Any pointers or recommendations heartily appreciated.
Monx's ROMeOS3D iceslated is pretty good very stable I've not had a problem with it also regular updates

Sense 3.0 roms are fully feature complete, sense 3.5 roms are 99% feature complete and 3D games won't work.
I would say the best rom for a daily is LeeDroid
Leedroid is your best bet for all the features. If you want a _much_ smoother Rom with the only problem being no 3d games, then I would thoroughly recommend mik runny.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m
just a clarification - for 3d games you mean games which uses the custom 3d screen api from htc or 3d graphics in general?
Not at all bothered with 3d games but want the highest resolution possible for my video recording and photos. I heard leedroid had lag on 3d video recording. Am thinking Mikrunny might be best atm.

I will warn you mikrunny has what appears to be on screen lag when snapping 3d images, but the final picture looks fine.
EDIT: This is only because of the "Amaze" camera .apk it uses, if you delete the current .apk and .odex file from /system/app then replace it with the standard HTCCamera.apk, it removes the lag and you're good to go! You can also if you wish use Titanium Backup to re-odex the HTCCamera.apk after.

3D video recording is fine I never said it wasn't, so is 3D picture taking. However with the Amaze camera on Mikrunny it does have a screen view lag before snapping photos.
It has arrived and I went with Mikrunny 1.13 Can only ge the amaze camera to do 720p but never mind.
Loving this phone, don't see why it isn't more popular.
Hi, are there some solutions for laggy Amaze camera when using 3D photo mode? (no video) ... Pictures are fine but before taking picture its slowed when moving to sides... I know about possibility of replacing it by original Evo 3D camera, but I don't want do it this way, becouse I hadn't this bug before, after ROM and Kernel installation and returning apps from Titanium backup everything was OK, I didn't installed any other apps but bug appeared few days after, like from nothing... I had amaze camera also on previous LeeDroid version and everything was OK all time, I also didn't change anything about CPU frequency before bug appeared.... Is there anything what can fix it without replacing camera apk?
Sorry for my bad english, thx for reply

It doesn't do any higher no matter that rom, both 2D and 3D are limited to 720p.

There is no other way to fix amaze camera lag without replacing it by original camera? (set cpu to max frequency and performance mode help little bit but its still not ok). Or any idea why its laggy now? amaze in previous Leedroid version was without lags at all for me... And if only possible fix is flashing original camera or older rom(I would like to avoid this becouse I like amaze features in 2D mode), where I can find original Evo 3D camera zip file? I am trying to find it now but without succes...
Hello all,
I'm looking for a new rom, that have 3D working fine...
Can someone point me some link? I've seen so many but all of them look great but no 3D working - if i have a 3D phone i want it to work
Thanks.
Any rom based off of stock has 3d working. Which roms have you flashed that don't have 3d?
"We're coming from a pure power source."
More info is needed also. Are you CDMA or GSM?

Leedroid is good but I found it to have battery issues. If you don't mind dropping sense and It's accompanying widgets try romeos (preferably with anryl 10.07 kernel), it has a very nice ICS theme and fantastic battery life, as well as more free ram at any given time, not to mention it fully supports 3D.

is 3d camera working
is the 3d camera function in the latest version of LEEDROID custom rom for evo 3d working? what are the feature which is not working with this version thanks.
All sense 3 roms based upon stock will support 3D pics, videos and cam and gaming, sense 3.5 supports pics, videos and cam but not gaming.
The reason for this is HTC have only released the one version of android for EVO 3D, some dev's made the newer version of android work, version 2.3.5 (sense 3.5), based upon the Sensation XL.
Sense 3.6 and Sense 4.0 roms, both android 4, currently have no 3D support and only partially working cameras, depending on your hardware.
2 x 5mp cameras on the back, will not work with any of them.
Only 5mp and 2mp will work.
The only way this will ever change is when HTC release ICS for the EVO 3D.
Probably around June (or so i'm told)
I'd stick with leedroid
I have no battery issues, i get a full day out of my phone.
All 3D functions work

Same here lad, just re flashed it again, been using warm, but got fcs all the time.
So leedroid was a good choice i think
When you talk about battery, what's the average time you can get? I have to charge my phone 2 to 3 times each day depending if i use wifi, if i use games,...
Other thing that i notice is that the battery only goes up to 99%. Never to 100% of charge.
Concerning the games, as i don't have 3d games anymore (after the flash) i can't tell if they work or not Probably i'll have to buy them but as i haven't decided 100% the rom to use, i'll wait some more time.

Just adding my twopence worth, i find that for full funvtionallity, i alwaus use romeos unsenceslated, with anryl kernel, so you can play 3d games, 3d photos, all work, only problem is, i find myself missing sense, iv just came from an se phone so that has made me miss sense, i find leedroid a batt drain and laggy rom, so i tried the infectedrom, its so much snappier, its sense 3.5 so 3d games dont work, fair enough, i bought the phone because of the screen, processor and batt size, but i find taking pics and vids in 3d is amazing, so i can still do this with this rom, so its my daily rom, oh and batt lasts longer so far, thats my evo 3d story so far......

Sorry but i can't understand what you're telling not because you don't tell it right, but because i just can't get to the same level of knowledge that you have (i'm noob ).
I'm just a simple user that is looking for a good rom, reliable, with all or most of the functions working - if i buy a 3D phone i think should work 3D. The same with wifi, bluetooth, ...
Other thing that made me look for something else than stock rom was the fact that the phone that i've bought don't come with my language (Portuguese PT-PT). Yes, I know now that if this was the only problem with stock rom i could just changed the firmware with stock... but i only realized that after i have the phone ready to take custom roms so i thought: if I've void my phone warranty i might just try some improved roms
If you can give your contribution I'll be much appreciated, even more because i've seen very good threads from you and i know that you know tons in this issues
Hi, im getting the Evo 3D veeery soon (from my dad, he uses it now). I know it's 2 years old phone and i will use it for 1 or more years. My question is, is it still worth it? I will use it MAINLY for Internet, games, YouTube videos etc. Should i have it, or ask him for newer phone? I won't flash any custom ROM, cuz i will use 3D and i need warranty (even thought he has the Otter Box on it )

IMHO I think that it's still a good device with decent specifications, and after all Android 4.o is stil compatible with almost all the apps (games) on Google play store. And yes, I find 3D photos very cool Can I ask you what were you thinking to buy in alternative to evo 3D?
After that, you said you don't want to unlock it not to lose the warrnty but there are unlock methods that make you not lose warranty. I prefer an unlocked device for these reasons:
-If you do a right job, you will not lose warranty
-sense 3.6 custom roms are faster and richer of functions than the stock one (mwakious rom is excellent to take spectacular 3D pictures)
-s2w and usb OTG are becoming day after day always more essential for me, and only custom roms can provide them to me
-AOSP roms are MUCH faster than the sense ones (AOSP rom= 160-170 MB; Sense roms= 385-400 MB ). On previous versions of android I think that HTC sense was essential because added those functions that vanilla android hadn't at all, but I can see that a cyanogenmod 4.2.2 has got all the functions that I need.
-Probably (and we hope asap :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: ) agrabren would provide an AOSP rom with working 3D, so when and if it will happen I think there will be no more reson to stay on stock rom
I hope I have convinced you to come to the dark side lol but at least I hope I was able to convince you that evo is still a good device, even if htc supported it for less than a year and after abandoned it

On the paper those phones are beautiful, with hi specifications and so on...but when you get it, their quality is soooooo low, battery hasn't got a decent life time and the whole phone won't last you so long. And you didn't considered the SAR exposure, in "chinese phones" is really high and it increases with the passing of time :s :s :s :s not so healthy at all. But I see that you have an HD2..I am following the porting works for the new 3.0.16 kernel for this device and I think that some really good things are gonna happen

The Evo 3D is still a tremendous phone. It is indeed sort of 2 years old but you definitely don't notice it.
It has pretty much all functions that all other phones offer, and 3d ofcourse
Very satisfied with mine. I use it for internet, facebook etc.
It's a shame that they didn't want to put jellybean on it. With 1GB ram and a 1.2ghz dual core processor it is more than strong enough.
Oh and remember to get a micro SD storage card of 4GB or more if you plan on gaming!
The specs say that it has 4GB of internal space, but 3GB is "locked" and only 1GB is available.
