[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Some ROM's that come to mind given your requirements are SOS M, which you may have tried already, the d3rpICS Bareback version, and the Senseless AOSP version of SolidROM.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I agree about SOS M as it is basically just MeanROM without Sense. I also think that Common Sense AOSP and Desensification (both by beneath a burning turtle) are worthy contenders to add to ramjet's list. Both have most of the sense stuff removed as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Good thread Ramjet73. Since I don't dig around and actually try different roms (I read about them when I can), I will post here for some feedback.

Currently:

1. Evo 3D CDMA (Sprint)

2. MeanRom ICS v2.6

3. Rooted / S-OFF / 2.89fw & Hboot 1.58

4. My ROM Priority Order: features, performance, battery life

5. Running Athx 3.6.6a-MR, for OC/UV at 1.62Ghz, Sweep2Wake, & USB OTG (OTG is so cool!)

6. The only thing from sense 3.6 I have kept/like is the Weather Lockscreen with its App Shortcuts and Caller ID. (ADW Launcher Ex)

Looking for:

7. I am interested in a solid Jelly Bean/CM based ROM if it's available.

8. My must have features beyond the basics that I like from MeanRom (4g and 3d Camera not req'd)

- Full Data Roaming

- WiFi Tether support (Need for tethering the HP Touchpad with CM9)

- Exchange ActiveSync "Sync While Roaming" can now be enabled including push (update schedule) while roaming

- HTML message format unlocked in Exchange Mail settings

- Roam Only option in mobile network settings

- init.d support

- LeeTweaks (or similar non controversial version/features)

- MHL (TV out) support (may give this one up temporarily)

I keep expecting to see something that makes me want to trade the features/performance/dependability I get on MR 2.6, but haven't gotten the impression that JB development for the 3D has hit that milestone yet. Please redirect me if I missed something.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Wow, that's a tough one. ;)

To be honest, I still haven't found anything better than MeanROM ICS, especially when you consider the roaming and Outlook features, along with the other fixes that Mike (mikeyxda) made to the Sprint ICS base. JB ROM's are still solving camera, WiMax and MMS issues, and I don't think they have even started to address features like roaming control and Outlook customizations. Agrabren's Disarmed Toaster CM10 ROM is probably the farthest along on the Evo 3D, and an update is expected soon that should narrow the gap between AOSP and Sense ROM's for our phone.

Cool ICS and Common Sense both offer some things that aren't integrated into MeanROM ICS (Google Now and other Jelly Bean features, custom kernel, enhanced YouTube) but as you already know those features can be added to MeanROM ICS with a little extra work. The d3rpICS ROM (Sense and de-Sensed) is another option to consider, and one of the few with ongoing updates available via SVN, but I haven't checked its features recently.

As far as AOSP based ROM's go, there are a bunch of new ones recently released, but development is mainly focused on camera, MMS, WiMax and other basic functionality, with hardly any discussion of roaming and Outlook features.

I still use MeanROM ICS as the daily driver on my primary phone, so I'm not really the best one to answer your question about alternatives, especially AOSP based options. That's why we started this thread so hopefully someone who does use an AOSP based ROM as their primary will jump in.

BTW, my favorite JB based ROM so far is lens_flare's MIUI, mostly because I've always enjoyed the feature integration and themes that MIUI offers, but that in no way addresses your priorities.

Thanks for the inquiry. Hopefully it will get this thread moving again. :)

ramjet, i need your help :)

1. What model of the Evo 3D do you have : CDMA

2. What ROM are you currently running? : Viper3D_02Nov12_1459_r218_s

3. Is your Evo 3D rooted and/or S-OFF? YES

My Phone cannot gain root access

can you solved my problem? thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] mkokotovich:
Hello,

1. What model of the Evo 3D do you have (CDMA/GSM, Evo 3D, Evo V, Evo 4G+)

CDMA, Sprint Evo 3D

2. What ROM are you currently running?

SOS M

3. Is your Evo 3D rooted and/or S-OFF?

Rooted, yes.

HBOOT 1.5 S-ON

4. What is important to you in a ROM (features, customization, performance, battery life, etc.)

Stability, battery life

5. Do you plan to run a custom kernel to OC/UV or for additional features like USB host?

No

6. If you have a preference between Sense and AOSP ROM's please include that.

AOSP. Since I use Go Launcher anyways, I'd prefer not having the bulk of Sense

7. Indicate if you are looking specifically for a GingerBread, Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean based ROM.

ICS or later

8. Must have features that don't work on all ROM's like Wi-Fi tethering, WiMax 4G, and 3D camera.

4G and wifi tethering are required

3D camera (while I rarely use it) isn't something I'm ready to give up. So I'd prefer it to work.

My main concern is I haven't updated my firmware ever (because I'm S-ON). So I'd like to use ROMs similar to SOS M, that use a kernel compatible with my firmware, hboot, etc.

Thanks for the recommendations!
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Thanks for posting here. I was thinking of this ROM by Gruesomewolf. It is sense 3.6 so everything works, but also has a desensification option in its installer.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I already mentioned Smooth Criminal and Common Sense/Desensification in the SOS M thread. TerribleLie by NineInchNails is also an interesting Sense 3.6 ROM since it uses the DX Home launcher.

[HTC EVO 3D] mkokotovich:
Thanks for the suggestions!
[HTC EVO 3D] dh350nwo:
1. Sprint Evo3D CDMA

2. MikRunny 1.13

3. Rooted/w S-Off HBoot 1.04

4. Performance, Customization, Battery life, fully functional (4G optional, but would be nice),

5. Would like to keep running a Thrax kernel, have been very good to me.

6. Would like to keep Sense, creature of habit.

7. Needs to be an ICS at the minimum.

8. 4g is spotty where I am so not a priority, MUST have wifi tethering (sprint hot spot preferred), 3d features must be available

I have been very indecisive about updating to a new ROM and been kinda confused about if I need to update my HBoot to 1.58 in order to run an ICS ROM. Would like to get some goodies like Google Now if possible.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The only ROM's which currently require hboot 1.58 are the Sprint ICS stock ROM, Cool ICS and Viper3D. If you want to stay with a Sense ROM Viper3D is a Sense 4.1 ROM with Google Now, but isn't yet available on XDA. Some solid Sense 3.6 ROM's that have Google Now include Common Sense and Smooth Criminal, and there are others if you check out the OP's in the development section.

The AOSP based JB ROM's all include Google Now, and there are many popular ROM's in that category including Team Dirt AOKP, GANGNAM Style CM10, and lens_flare's MIUI just to name a few.

Edit: Just noticed you want 3D features so the Sense 3.6 ROM's mentioned above are probably your best bet, and you won't need hboot 1.58 for them. Good luck!

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I'd also like to suggest Homebrew by Powduh09 (see my XDA web signature for the link). It's a stock ICS Sense 3.6 browser, tweaked out, and full of Team 420 skins. I use it as my daily.

No ICS ROMs have the Sprint Hotspot app unlocked BTW. It works if you pay for it, otherwise, you have to use a different app.
[HTC EVO 3D] KEVIN88GT:
will post there...thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] KEVIN88GT:
1. What model of the Evo 3D do you have: Evo 3D CDMA (Sprint/Shooter)

2. What ROM are you currently running? Appears to be the ICS Rooted (whatever was installed after the wire trick/4ext recovery process)

3. Is your Evo 3D rooted and/or S-OFF? Yes/ S-off with hboot 1.58

4. What is important to you in a ROM (features, customization, performance, battery life, etc.) Battery life, wifi-tetheringt, performance

5. Do you plan to run a custom kernel to OC/UV or for additional features like USB host? sorry i dont know what that is so i'll say no :)

6. If you have a preference between Sense and AOSP ROM's please include that.I like sense (minus pulling the ring to unlock phone)

7. Indicate if you are looking specifically for a GingerBread, Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean based ROM. Whatever is most stable, which i'm guessing is ICS?

8. Must have features that don't work on all ROM's like Wi-Fi tethering, WiMax 4G, and 3D camera.

On a sidenote, i'm desperately waiting for input on a rom...on my ride home from work I decided (for no smart reason) to freeze the "sense" system process with Titanum backup and now the phone only boots to the white screen with greet "HTC" letters. I can only load bootloader or the 4ext recover..... :(.... at this point i'll even take a plain vanilla ICS ROM as long as it has some of the features i nee (wifi tethering)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
In the interest of getting your phone working again, I would recommend flashing either the stock 2.89.651.2 Sprint ICS ROM from this post or CleanROM ICS BE as the most basic ICS custom ROM that I know about. You should also do a nandroid (4EXT) of your current ROM before flashing a new one so you can recover at least the data partition after you are operational again.

Come back to this thread after you're back up and we can recommend some other options.

[HTC EVO 3D] gunfromsako:
Im personally running Newts one s on my 3D atm and I love it. I'm kinda partial to sense 4+ since I got my lte so it was a no brainer for me... It even has 4g I hear (no service on my 3D). I absolutely love the UI, it's blazing fast, and easy to theme. No 3D in sense 4 but I never use so it's a non-factor for myself. I run viper rom on my lte and im thinking about slapping on viruses viper3d and seeing how that goes.
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
On a tangent, it may be a good idea to provide links to the recommended Rom in each reply for the new folks who would come here and have a hard time finding a current version, especially if its located at another site (as appropriate).

3D ROM

Looking for a ICS ROM which supports all 3D features for EVO 3D GSM (Rogers).. using CM10 ROMS on my other devices and care least about HTC sense (would love to see it gone)

Priority

1) 3D working camera + camcoder + Display (Got EVO 3D 2days back.. what the use if i cant have a little fun with 3D)

2) Stable for daily use

3) CM10 like functionality and feel.. (sense might have good widgets but its lameeee like samsung phones)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Let's try it and see what happens. ;)

I'm not sure what the official policy is on the Sense 4 ROM's that have been suspended, but one of the mods will probably let us know if we cross the line.

help me; usb OTG

I need some help; to make usb otg to work on my EVO 3D gsm.

not rooted/ rom ics 4.0.3

maybe is here someone with plenty of time disposed to explain step by step for a noob how to root the device(and s-off if necessary) and how to instal a custom rom(or kernel) to get OTG working. to use otg I need to install only a custom rom or only a custom kernel, or I need them both?

I need only OTG. recomand me something(Rom) stable and if possible with all functions.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
There's a guide thread here that can help you get rooted and S-OFF. The S-OFF is optional but I highly recommend it since flashing things will be a lot easier.

Once you are rooted, you need to flash a kernel that supports OTG. There's another thread here that covers the requirements and options for OTG.

I'm a CDMA user and not that familiar with the GSM ROM's but maybe someone else will be able to comment on what GSM ROM's work well with OTG.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] cytherian:
Ramjet, thanks for starting this thread. I think it's a great idea, because of the breadth of options available for the Evo 3D and how tricky it can get when dealing with hboot compatibility and unavailable features in various ROMs.

I've been using an HTC HeroC running LiGux with Zeam. It works very well as-is, certainly far better than stock, but once the Evo 3D resale prices came down below $100, I felt it was time to move on. I've got a great condition Evo 3D in hand and will be activating it after the holidays.

So I see how there are actually Gingerbread ROMs available for the Evo 3D and it's curious... you'd think with a later major version of Android available that all of the focus would be on that. But I've learned about how early ICS versions were problematic and that probably drove a lot of people to port GB ROMs for it. Yet, some functionality on GB probably isn't possible due to missing core Android components.

What I'd like to know is... what's the most functional GB ROM available for the Evo 3D and what ICS functionality is definitely not available on GB. Also, what are most stable JB ROMs available for the Evo 3D?

1. What model of the Evo 3D do you have: CDMA

2. What ROM are you currently running? Stock 4.0.3, hboot 1.58

3. Is your Evo 3D rooted and/or S-OFF? Rooted with S-ON, unlocked via HTC dev

4. What is important to you in a ROM: Customization and battery life.

5. Do you plan to run a custom kernel to OC/UV or for additional features like USB host? No.

6. If you have a preference between Sense and AOSP ROM's please include that. Sense, or an AOSP that comes close.

7. Indicate if you are looking specifically for a GingerBread, Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean based ROM. My general sense is that ICS isn't well liked, for a number of reasons, so I'd like to look at both GB and JB options.

8. Must have features that don't work on all ROM's like Wi-Fi tethering, WiMax 4G, and 3D camera. Must have great functioning 2D camera (don't need 3D), 4G, and GPS. Wi-Fi tethering isn't critical, but would be nice, along with WiMax.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
If you plan to run GB or JB ROMs, you'll need to downgrade your hboot to 1.4 Revolutionary or 1.04 Eng. To do that, you'll need to be s-off, so I recommend you do so following ramjet's thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889438

The best GB ROM (and maybe even best ROM overall) in my opinion is dropzeroc's ZR3D 4.3GT. Everything works and I think it has everything you need. It's loaded with all the mods and tweaks and has many skins and customization options and is super smooth with great battery life. It's located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551360

The best JB ROM in my opinion is Mazda's Unofficial AOKP 3.5.2. It's not Sense based, but everything works except for 3D (which you said you don't need). I've been running it the last week and thoroughly enjoy it. It too is loaded with customization options. You can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831841

If you would like to run ICS, the two I always recommend is Homebrew (Sense based, located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1817387) or d3rp ICS (Sense or Senseless, located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1649031). The advantage of these is that they are based on the latest official Sprint release so everything works and is updated as much as an ICS ROM can be.

Hope this was helpful. Good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] cytherian:
Very helpful indeed, coal. :) This will save me a lot of time. Thanks a lot! :good:

Incidentally, I noticed you're using 4EXT for recovery. I've been using TWRP and have been quite happy with it. Is 4EXT much different? How do they compare, if you've had any experience with TWRP?
[HTC EVO 3D] Hippie459MN:
I think 75% of the 3D users are using 4EXT. To me its been much more stable and consistent. I had some flashing issues when I was using TWRP every great once and while but never a problem once with 4EXT. Plus with the Recovery Control app, it makes it simply amazing!

Now im not saying TWRP is a bad recovery cause its not by any means, I just have had much better luck using 4EXT and the app is great. You have to get the paid app though and trust me, its worth ever cent. The free version is great too but doesnt have as many features.

Oh yeah, I love the themes that are out there for 4EXT also. Can really make your recovery your own.

Oh yeah, 4EXT handles S-ON much better too. Its been a while since I used TWRP so not sure if they have added anything like 4EXT has when it comes to flashing when you are S-ON But with how easy it is to get S-OFF now I cant see why anyone would stay S-ON.

Just my .02 cents.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I agree with hippie. I've used both of them and like them both. Never had issues on either. But others seem to have better luck with 4ext so I've stuck with it. I use the free version and it works for me, but have been meaning to buy the pro version to support the dev.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
This post should help answer that question. If you want to see what 4EXT looks like on your phone you can "fastboot boot" into it without having to flash it using the attached version.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
As a point of interest TWRP has the HTC Dumlock feature that is similar to 4EXT SmartFlash (an explanation of how SmartFlash works is in the middle of the 4EXT OP). Max (madmaxx82), the developer of 4EXT, even gives credit to TeamWin for the idea to implement SmartFlash.

Technically HTC Dumlock is more reliable, but also more complicated, since it flashes the recovery program to the boot partition and boots that version to be authorized to flash the boot.img in the same way starting recovery from "fastboot boot" allows that. The 4EXT SmartFlash feature depends on having a bootable kernel installed that allows 4EXT to flash the boot.img on the first boot then reboot into the new kernel it just flashed, so users have problems if the kernel already installed fails to boot for some reason. Having said that, 4EXT Recovery Control has a 4.9 rating on the Play Store so most users are happy with it.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Hippie459MN:
Ramjet, Thanks for that bit of info on the dumlock feature. I learned something new today. Maybe cause I have always been S-OFF I have not looked into anything like that and there seems to be very little talk about it. Good to know. Thank you. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You're welcome.

I think it's become more visible because there is no 4EXT Recovery for the Evo 4G LTE and for a while there was no option to S-OFF with the current builds. I believe the S-OFF methods for that device have recently been updated, but there is still no compatible 4EXT version.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You definitely want a Sense 3.6 based ROM to keep your 3D camera working, and if you like to do some tweaking something like one of the d3rp ROM's or Z3RD might be a good place to start. Smooth Criminal is a fairly new ROM that you might want to try as well.

There are many good Sense 3.6 ROM's for the Evo 3D so I'm sure other users will have suggestions for you.

Good luck!

ROM for me...? Thanks guys

1. What model of the Evo 3D do you have? CDMA Sprint

2. What ROM are you currently running? Stock, HTC one.

3. Is your Evo 3D rooted and/or S-OFF? I didn't do anything yet, so I guess that's a no.

4. What is important to you in a ROM (features, customization, performance, battery life, etc.)

battery life, speed, stability (lease crashes as possible), Google Apps working fully, GPS. Camera: 3D if possible (is there such a thing?) and quiet pictures snapping. It drives me crazy it makes a sound and I can't go around it. Don't need anything fancy, can give up games.

5. Do you plan to run a custom kernel to OC/UV or for additional features like USB host? uhhh... don't know? I want to tether.

6. If you have a preference between Sense and AOSP ROM's please include that. AOSP. I like some eyecandy, but I'm all Google and I want a clean experience and fast updates.

7. Indicate if you are looking specifically for a GingerBread, Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean based ROM. Most recent always. Jelly Bean please.

8. Must have features that don't work on all ROM's like Wi-Fi tethering, WiMax 4G, and 3D camera. Tethering and 3D camera would be REALLY nice. Don't care for 4G too much, actually.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Based on the items that I've highlighted above, I recommend starting with mazda's AOKP JB ROM, which is probably the most functional AOSP ROM at this time, and the SOS M Sense 3.6 ROM, which has everything working and can be customized to look like an AOSP based ROM.

You will need get S-OFF to try any of the JB AOSP ROM's since they require a different hboot than stock, but you could start with SOS M or another Sense 3.6 ROM that has been "de-Sensed" and can use the AOSP style interface.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] beholder121:
Searching for SOS M Sense 3.6 ROM, I found Viper (I guess because Viper is Sense 3.6? still new to the fine details) which seems to be pretty stable and good, including the 3D camera. What do you think about Viper? And where is the link to SOS M Sense 3.6 ROM, I tried searching on Google and here but I only find brief references.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Here's the link for SOS M.

Viper3D is Sense 4.1 and doesn't have 3D camera or 4G working. I don't believe there is a Viper 3.6 ROM.
