[HTC EVO 3D] Future_Awaits:
I purchased the EVO3D at launch and had your ROM on my phone ever since you first started developing for it (I now own the E4GT because of screen issues I was having on the 3D). I'm quite surprised about some of the comments you mentioned referring to the users for the E4GT.

I'll go ahead and say it: The users in the EVO3D were far more demanding than anything you can compare to the users for the E4GT. I think the reason you may not have felt pressured developing for the EVO3D was because of Vinchenzop. He was always around to field everyone's questions, especially when everyone was nagging around the thread for an update. Vin always took care of the small stuff, which I assume gave you time to focus on the more important things in your ROM.

I think you had more issues developing for the E4GT because of the reasons you mentioned (not having Vin around probably didn't help either). I was surprised when I did not see the success you had for the EVO3D on the E4GT, which I think is the real reason you dropped development. Does that mean you're not a good developer? Absolutely not. Your ROM for the EVO3D was and still is the most stable, and the script you made for it made it that much better. In my opinion, it really made your ROM stand above the others.

Good luck with whatever device it is that you end up going to.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
well thank you, I appreciate that. But not having Vin around on the Samsung makes things a little harder but I just don't enjoy the annoyances associated with Samsung development. I will try another one and see what I think though.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nurra:
I agree with ya but to say that the Evo 3d not in the same ball park is a bit too much. Gs II is simply better in many area by a notch or two.

The most disappointed feature of the Evo to me would be the video playback. Sure it can do 3d but they hard to come by and mkv videos in 3d that I've downloaded aren't supported (for testing purposes). 2D videos in hd are a lot of the time are jerky or just can't played. While the gsII is able to play any hd videos.

UI on 3d is also jerky sometimes but I wouldn't complaint cause it has sense while gsII is smooth all the way but stuck with crappy touch wiz.

I'm using both phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfin13:
The hate for the 3D is interesting. I'm running CleanROM on it, and functionality wise, I have zero complaints (just don't really like the protruding shutter button). I bought mine second-hand, so maybe if I'd spent an upgrade on it I'd be a little more critical. It's not an extraordinary phone, but it's not the piece of crap some here are making it out to be. With ICS I should be able to squeeze out another year with it before I long for something new (or until the Note or something like it shows up on Sprint .. yes I want that big-ass phone).
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
By the time the note comes on sprint, the note 2 will be coming out not with gingerbread.
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
uhh, that's because you were in good lightning conditions and the camera was able to use a fast shutter speed. This will happen with any camera. Try doing it in low light.
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
Exactly try taking a picture of a fast moving object in the dark it will look like garbage. POS phone..

oh **** did I say phone I MEAN CAMERA, wait.... CAMERA PHONE, POS!

Can't believe I can't take a picture of a jet in the dark in 3D with this thing.. I bet the iPhone can, I mean take the picture part not the 3D.

How many times can the words "build quality" be in a thread?

From the giant: Galaxy Note
[HTC EVO 3D] RayTrue04:
How can people with Sense talk about Touchwiz? I had both Evos and still own a 3d. Sense is a freaking ram hog! Sense is so heavily modified its not even funny.. TW gives you the closest feel to stock Android. Sense is the reason why the Evo lags to begin with. I'd take stock or TW over Sense any day. I remember reading somewhere where a user said Sense is just eye candy and I agree it does has its lil things I like but that's about it. Stock>TW>Sence and that's that...

[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Enough until people get it through their heads that build quality =/= subjective plastic feeling.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I posted the following on December 22nd, 2011 in most of my forums right around when I got the HTC Evo3D. It tells my encounter with crapsung best.

The word "Samsung" in mobile devices should be scary, here's my experience with a try and try again finally giving up on them forever:

1. Samsung flip, forgot the name, had a black smoke face that was smooth and was a great phone, about 8-9 months in started randomly dropping calls while going from tower to tower (mainly while driving). Eventually got worse..

2. Samsung Instinct: What a POS, the thing had the worst touch interface, never got any apps and was generally faulty and slow.

3. Samsung Moment: Sprint & Samsung denial city. They went on and on in store about how there was no such CDMA lockup issue, even when shown. I had a tech go "never heard of it" and he wouldn't google it infront of me when I told him to. Every single Moment was plagued with the CDMA lockup just a matter of when and how. Luckily mine only did it with wifi on, but that meant wifi could never be used. Awesome, thanks.

4. Samsung Epic: Where do I begin? The physical keyboard misses keystrokes since 2.1, it took rooters to fix it and to this day (well, 3 days ago when I last used it before getting my Evo 3D) it still did it on 2.3.5, also the latest update reduces the number of satellites locked onto to "save battery life" thus creating massive GPS issues reported all over by users. Not to mention the random reboots throughout every version of Android. Also not to mention the release of 2.2 and 2.3 being 8+ months behind everyone else while getting a bloated interface with spyware and bloatware galore (see carrier iq).

This is just off the top of my head, and not one of these issues was specific to me, you'll find it all over the net. Already seeing someone mentioning wifi and reception issues with the Galaxy S II makes me laugh. When the Sprint rep came on the phone giving me a very good offer on the phone resetting my upgrade eligibility along with other bill credits she asked what phone I was interested in. I said "Something NOT a Samsung, most likely the HTC Evo 3D", she said "well I know you said not Samsung, but the Galaxy S II is a nice phone" I said "I don't care, it like every Samsung I used will probably have faults" and sure enough I just read about some already cropping up. They do very little if any testing at all, don't care about the customer, and will go on boasting about their phones on FB advertising raffles for a free one, how great it is, yadda yadda. Samsung, keep your worthless phones to yourself!

Unfortunately synthetic worthless benchmarks like Quadrant don't rate in your phone wasting your time with reboots, crashes, and other annoyances...if they did every Samsung would be rated a few hundred at best.

*Months later, I'm glad with my decision. Reading countless issues with the Galaxy S II just like the Galaxy S line had, I am so glad. Not an issue with my HTC Evo 3D. Are there HTC issues? Sure...but not like what Samsung can pull off. By the way, I didn't even get into every known issue with those phones above, I was just listing the worst issues.

I have zero build quality issues on my 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] ls3mach:
Huh. My Evo 3D is barely staying together. I had to buy a case just to hold the trim on. Screen doesn't work in spots. Mis-registers key strokes. The trim pulled my beard hair out of the box due to not fitting properly. I also think something is up with my wifi as it will not ever allow anything to obtain an IP when attempting to tether. Pretty shoddy build quality, I think. At least the charging port is still working though. I miss my 4G. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] Bear gri11z:
LOL when i got to break my phone it took for ever to break the metal trim... All the things your complaining about are obvious defects from either misuse or physical damage...

This it the first time i ever heard anyone's bezel falling apart......................... But yea it does pull on your facial hair... Happened to me... Not because the trim doesn't fit... LOL

Was 3d launched internationally?? I don't seem to recall seeing this device physically. Saw quite a few Sensation, never any 3d.

All things said, people complain about GS2 not getting any development. I clearly don't understand what they mean by that. Just compare the development section between those 2 devices. By pure number, GS2 is FAR ahead.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I have a few...

1. Dead pixels

2. Screen randomly stops working

3. Light leak specs near the capacitive buttons

4. The glass screen isn't evenly placed.

I am not saying htc is worse or better but they do have their flaws.

[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
the samsung will feel faster, due to its as close to AOSP as one can get without being full AOSP - it dont got sense hogging the ram and cpu resources

aosp on the 8x60 based samsung vs aosp on the 3d - real world performance (not benchmarks) should be close with a decent kernel
[HTC EVO 3D] tailsthecat3:
It's you.
[HTC EVO 3D] parmend:
I have to agree with the op . The epic touch 4g blows the 3d out of the water . 3d is a nice phone but not on the same level as the epic. Battery life, screen, speed,build are imo better on the epic. Sense just slows the 3d down.
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
I had both. And its not that much of a diff. Sence just slows the 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] DANIELWHITT:
I just sold my galaxy nexus. It's laggy. Cheaply made and its 50-50 if your processor will overclock as a lot wouldn't. EVO 3d is a much nicer phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] 84guy:
Im on the stock rom not rooted evo 3d and ive played with the e4gt and they are pretty close on benchmarks and real world use. Not sure what rom your using but the stock rom flies since the mid jan update. 44 fps(3d) vs 45 fps(e4gt) nenamark2.. 2878 on 3d 3000ish on the e4gt on quadrant. Im not talking root or other roms. Once you get into that the 3d still does keep up. When the 3d came out htc had it bogged down, it ruined the rep of the 3d. But since that update, imo the 3d blows the e4gt out of the water
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
The war between HTC fanboys and Samsung fanboys will never end.

Samsung will always have "Poor build quality and oversaturated colors" while HTC will always have "Poor quality control and Sense".

The two phones aren't terribly different from each other, but the owners of each device will try to claim otherwise. Its like Xbox 360 fanboys attacking the PS3.

Wow, you are calling us ill informed numb skulls, immature and idiots? Kinda hurts my feelings a bit.

[HTC EVO 3D] jdawglx01:
Samsung is ok... but when left to themselves they can be a pain in the ass. Under Googles thumb though, they can make a good device.
[HTC EVO 3D] xblackvalorx:
Just wait until there's a good ics aosp build, with a good kernel for the 3d. You can't compare sense to aosp for performance
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
Yeah just wait.....8 months and counting.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
Durrr how do I into reading comprehension?

ICS source has been available for less than a handful of months, and we almost have everything working. We've been getting periodic builds since the New Year. Much earlier than the E4GT got ANYTHING ICS related.
[HTC EVO 3D] Neo3D:
My gf has the VZ LTE Galaxy Nexus. I love it! Way better than the Evo 3D in every category. Games and video on it look gorgeous!

BTW, op, how are you planning to trade in your 3D for a GNex? Don't you have to wait 2yrs?
[HTC EVO 3D] luis12285:
Samsung has the Best screen on market... Better than retina and i have the sgs epic 4g and the screen is better than the 3d way better... Evo3d is just a really neat gadget.

Both are good devices. I like Samsung, although their last 3 sprint phones have been kinda bad.

(Moment had a 3g lockup bug), epic 4g had terrible support, but the et4g is a game changer. Already got a really stable ics build leaked. My only complaint us there's not as much development on the et4g as there is on the evo 3d.

That's pathetic then, the EVO has 2 developers.

If you dont count the 5 or 6 threads here they start for alphas and betas that never go anywhere.....well...there's like 4 or 5 ICS threads over there but the cam still doesnt work on any of em and mounting the sd doesnt work right.. among many other things. Personally I don't even count those roms because I can't use em. Most of the others are a variation of basically the same thing with different themes.
[HTC EVO 3D] nkmassie:
I personally prefer HTC to Samsung after using Samsung phones for years. When it comes to Android, Samsung Touchwiz tries to imitate iOS. HTC Sense is just right for me...but anyway, I would say they are in the same ballpark.
[HTC EVO 3D] fccfreak:
hi new to this forum

to the thread question. I owned number of non-android samsung phones and I ups and downs, sometimes it depends on the model you purchase. Now I own EVO 3D for few days and so far I am quite pleased with it as previously owned Huawei U8650 Sonic (wasnt a bad phone but it was low-end).
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
I posted this in the [MOD] HDMI Landscape Mirroring thread in Development, but the post didn't get much attention there.

For anyone who has not seen it, I wanted to post it in general with a slightly better step by step.

WHY?: Yes, LS HDMI mirroring does already exist in Darkside and Wet Dream, however NOT on the lapdock. On the lapdock, the only option is webtop.

What's wrong with webtop? Nothing really...if you want to surf the internet. However, if you want to play a game on the lapdock, things get quite laggy. Playing Super Mario World using SNESDroid inside webtop is VERY laggy. When doing LS HDMI mirroring, the lag almost vanishes.

Who is this trick good for?

People who do not use Entertainment Center or the other HDMI options.

People who want to play games on lapdock.

People who want full screen LS HDMI with mouse and keyboard support on the lapdock.

People who don't like the idea of webtop but like LS HDMI.

People who like being able to choose between webtop and LS HDMI on their lapdock

How do we do this?

First time only

1. Open your lapdock, set the Atrix on it only partially. So that only the HDMI is recognized (The left half of the phone will be raised slightly). If you have a HD TV and an HDMI cable, you can simply plug the cable into the TV.

2. When the dialog pops up, check "Remember my selection" and choose Mirror phone display.

3. Close the lapdock and properly dock the phone. Instead of HDMI, it should register as "multimedia station".

4. Check "Remember my selection" and choose Mirror phone on display

5. Undock the Atrix and then open the lapdock.

6. Plug the Atrix into the lapdock and start pressing ESC

7. Continue pressing ESC until the big red M disappears. When it disappears press ESC one or two more times

8.The screen will flicker a few times, try to be patient. You will end up in either Webtop or LS HDMI with mouse and keyboard support.

9. If you ended up in LS HDMI, you are good to go. If you ended up in webtop, start over at step 5.

Notes:

It definitely helps to have no apps open and be just on your launcher screen when you start

It will probably take a few tries to get the hang of it, but I can do it pretty consistently now.

After a period of inactivity, you will get kicked out of LS HDMI and webtop will automatically load up.

If someone figures out how to get LS HDMI working on CM7, this is probably easier to achieve than a full webtop.

I have tested this on TWO Atrixes, one running Wet Dream 1.4.3, the other running Darkside Prefinal.

I will try to record a video of the process here in the next couple days.

If anyone has anything to add, feedback, or a better format for the post, I would be more than happy to edit this.
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
Sorry to bump my own thread, but I will most likely not be posting a video since LS HDMI works with a little less hassle in the latest CM7 weekly. If you do not mind completely losing webtop, it isn't a bad option.

However, if someone else records a video I would be more than happy to stick it in the first post. The method works and is worth the potential couple attempts if you enjoy webtop from time to time as well
[Atrix 4G General] glocklee:
Thanks for the method! I'm trying it, haven't succeeded yet. The "M" always disppear very fast and then webtop pops up. And under some circumstances first the mirroring video with a huge cursor first comes up and then replaced by webtop.

Is timing very important when pressing ESC?

And, am I getting it wrong? I repeatedly pressed ESC, am I supposed to hold it down and wait for "M" and then tap twice again?

I'll keep trying... Because webtop give me VimWiki and git, I cannot go without it :-D

BTW: The power problem: There's an option in android settings, to prevent the phone from suspending while in charge. It worked for me when my method was still effective.
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
If you are occasionally seeing the big arrow on the screen, you are getting close. Tap ESC all the way through the M. I don't think the timing of it mattered much though. You can try tapping just once after it goes away. I said two initially because I found that too many times always rejected it. But one time might not be at the right moment.

I think you will be a master of the method soon. Getting the mirroring to show up even for a second means you are getting there
[Atrix 4G General] glocklee:
It works!

Hi MyronJ906:

It works! Just as you describbed, M,tap esc all the way, a few flickering, and bingo!

---------- Post added at 04:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 AM ----------

BTW I'm running on a modded ROM based on official Chinese 2.3 ROM.
[Atrix 4G General] ar31791:
Confirmed working for me too. I like my full linux webtop better than mirroring though. :P
[Atrix 4G General] glocklee:
I discovered that if I dock the phone before opening the lid, the M will persist for longer and thus achieving greater chance.

I'm surprised that only after the first success, the behavior becomes so consistent.:D
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
That is pretty much what happened for me to. Before I switched to CM, I could get it about 90% of the time. It is great for gaming and the option to still use webtop when you please is wonderful.

Glad to see some people getting it working. Haha I just wish I understood WHY it worked.
[Atrix 4G General] ar31791:
I believe it works because pressing escape while webtop is initializing simply ends the process and it defaults to mirror over HDMI.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
Works great for me too!

I'm on the latest WetDream Light.

The only drawback is that the graphic detail on screen get's very jaggy. I tried changing the HDMI overscan but that didn't help.

Kinda cool for some horizontal games, but for everything else, I rather use my heavily modded Gnome Webtop...

Thanks for sharing MyronJ906 !!!
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
You might consider trying a higher LCD density. I bet a higher resolution makes it look a little better mirrored. I have mainly been mirroring on my lap dock to take notes through Evernote or play Grand Theft Auto with my playstation controller. It plays great once it is setup.

Playing Mario and Sonic with the lapdock keyboard is pretty great as well.

But for actual computing tasks, I would agree. Webtop wins.

I am definitely loving mirroring on Neutrino right now though. Makes gaming GREAT
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
You are right about the density change. Right now I'm on 240.

I will try some higher numbers and post results.

I'm tempted to get a PS3 controller just for this GTA3 setup! :-D

Thanks for the recommendation!
[Atrix 4G General] greenwitch:
It works also on Gingermod with this patch:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22101122&postcount=706
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
I used LCD Density Modder Pro to change my density since it also includes a market fix. (That spoofs density as 240 so that you won't get random app incompatibilities)

I'm using 175 right now and it seems pretty nice for both lapdock and normal phone use. 180/185 are also pretty great.

But if you're looking for something a little less extreme there is nothing wrong with 200. It's a pretty good middle ground
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
Thanks for the tip!

Will try that right now.
