Ics and sense 4 - HTC EVO 3D

I'm running a rom with ics and and sense 4. Although there are a fee bugs, it's works darn good. So my question is, why is our official sprint rom going to be Ics with sense 3.6?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

Probably because they began work on the evo 3d and sensation when sense 4 didn't exist, or maybe it's a marketing ploy to get people to buy their new phones.
Chances are it's the latter of the two.
Give it time and we'll probably have sense 4 running with 3D cam, i can't ever see games working personally but i think it's a small price to pay.

sense 4 contains something called 'ImageSense'. Its a hardware related piece of software which is why other "legacy" handsets aren't getting it. Only the new devices from the one series onwards are officially getting it.
sooner or late once they figure out the components for what we need for a sense 4 ROM to work with our devices then we'll get the ROM mashups we all need and want ( Sense 4.0 + 3D camera + 3D screen) .....till then we're stuck with 3.6

I believe the Rom I loaded is sense 4. It's actually nice and light weight.

yes but it doesn't include the imagesense hardware and software that htc are talking about. Those have been removed by the devs who port these things to our device.

Are you happy with the your Evo3d so far?

Yeah I like it the only thing I am missing now is official ota ics update.
There are a few things that bug me like my digitizer dieing, HTC taking their sweet time to release source code, HTC not releasing source code for 3d and 4G.... but not much else.
Seems like there are as many roms as for the og evo, which is kinda why i grabbed it. i know the epic 4g touch is faster blah blah, i just don't like Samsung.

Yes. Waiting for update too.
Yes love my 3d just waiting for the Ics update!
No I am not, but my complaints have more to do with Sprint than the phone.
When I first got the phone it was terrible though, widgets deleting themselves at random, wallpaper changes itself, phone crashed and reboots, battery drain in 2 hours sometimes, signal dropping out for no reason whenever I tried to send a text, phone freezing at the black screen when trying to wake it up.
Then root and s-off came around and the phone has been great ever since. Custom ROMs really fix this phone. Unfortunately, they cant fix Sprint's terrible network.
They all suck until they're rooted ,all that Sprint bloated....does anyone use the 3d? I know I won't use it especially since sense will be wiped off my phone.

i had touchwiz and sense. Samsung devices dont come close to htc and sense in consumer usability and multitasking. stop arguing about these things. sense is better then touchwiz period. Sense is better then aosp period. aosp is better then touchwiz,period. Htc is a better quality device then samsung period. Then it comes down to processor. Qualcomm is better then samsung in that department period. Stop arguing about stupid things. 3D is the future period. HTC EVO 3d is the best superphone to date, so stop complaining and do something usefull then arguing my logic here

super happy with my E3D. waiting on some fully functional ICS goodness, AOSP or Sense I really don't care (love sense, but IMO ICS brings a lot to the table that I used to need sense for, so I'll take whatever gives me ICS with a camera first). I do use the 3D rarely, but can easily live without is; cool feature to have available though.
I love this phone, its fast, smooth and great battery life.
I was having regrets when I first got it. Once virus release Eternity a lot of that regret faded. Once Chad released Anthrax RLS9 I was going "omg i love this phone!"
I am loving my 3vo since the first day it came out. Now I love it even more with MeanROM on it. Fast, tweaked out the way I like it, and 4g is great where I live. I have 14 3d movies that I watch with my Sony MW600.

I love my 3D! Some of the roms I use regularly are Blackend and EvoZone. Blackend is quite smooth and themed. EvoZone is stock with blue instead of green. Very happy with my 3D!
I actually use the 3D a lot. I watch a ton of 3D movies and have played most of the 3D games. I love it.

lol that's a lot of .
Also, its just your opinion and personal preference. Samsung actually does processors much better than the Qualcomm Snapdragon because power consumption is better and performance is a bit better on direct competing models of processors WiMax is done far better on Samsung than HTC as well. I still like my EVO 3D though
I prefer AOSP with Launcher Pro, I hate sense. But thats just a personal preference like you and how you love Sense.
Thanks all,few more hours I'llbe rooting,haven'thad a new phone since the EVO4g launch

No official sense 4.0 for us

just read that all HTC sensation devices are receiving android 4.0 but not sense 4.0.. since our HTC EVO 3D's are basically the same do you guys think well be given the same treatment.
http://recombu.com/news/htc-sense-4...-coming-to-the-htc-sensation-line_M17125.html
If this is the case I think its bull.. Probably will never buy another HTC device again (hero, EVO, EVO 3D) since everyone knows our devices hardware can easily handle sense 4.0

Again it wont be an "official" sense 4.0 ui but one modified version to work with the evo 3d (as it seems its a hardware difference that sense 4.0 uses i.e. camera/chipset, ect.) made by the developers
sgs2 will get the new touchwiz aswell one way or another...
Have faith in the developers when manufacture's "drop the ball"

reverse engineering?
Id say 4g has a better shot than the 3d feature
This is what custom roms r for
they are probably reserving sense 4 for the HTC One devices. Chances are that we will get 4 after the initial release.
Or it can probably be ported, like we port sense 3.5 today.
Sense 4 has features that require new camera hardware and such. Why yall so
Butt hurt about it? Saying your not gonna buy another HTC device because of it. Well, good riddance to you sir.

We already knew this, but it was to be expected

I don't use HTC Sense anyway so it's no big deal to me.
Would be nice but it was so obvious not getting sense 4...

Trust me I know the feeling...
Watch em call it sense 3.8 or somethin. lol
Similar to how it was on the OG EVO 4G, There will be a number of devs that will be producing Sense 4.0 roms for our EVO 3D's. You can count on it
We'll most likely need a Sense 4 CDMA rom leak or official from another HTC device to get the 4G working. Camera is another story, Has/is a challenge on ICS in general.
We'll do our best

[Q] Do you still perfer the Evo 4g Lte over the S3?

I recently got my evo 4g LTE and i must say i love it i came from a epic 4g touch rooted. Took some time getting use to sense but now i love it cause i hated touchwiz....what are some of ur experiences which rom or laucher do u perfer???
I like spb shell launcher....
imo, nothing compares to good ol' stock android. I'm just a little jealous that the s3 already gets official CM9 nightly builds.
With that being said. That would be the only reason I get a s3.
I like sense the most out of everything. Apex was nice but.... Sense for me

TBH, S3 development seems to be overshadowing ELTE development. We are probably too much of a niche device at this point.

For the international version correct? If you take a look at the American section for the SIII...it's rather dead.
I went in today to go play with the phone, and personally I wasn't a fan. For me and my uses it basically just came down to looks, and HTC EVO 4G LTE wins in that department for me. I also wasn't a fan of the home button, overall the LTE just felt much nicer in my hands, it has this nice heft that feels just right. It wasn't too heavy, but not so light I feel like I could break it, the SIII was lacking that.
Personally I've thought HTC phones have always had nice development, so I'm not too worried. The SIII would be rooted immediately for me to get rid of touchwiz, and switch to CM9, and I've tired of the stock android look, sense 4.0 is a nice visual change and I'm loving it. Touchwiz may be packed full of features (Some of those features can be ported to HTC, Ex: I had S-voice on my Sensation.)...but its ugly as sin. Then again Samsung could surprise us with a new version soon, because lets be honest, Sense 3.6 was ugly as sin too. :good:
In the end it all comes down to personal opinion. Development will probably be about even, I mean honestly, how many of the ROMs are you actually going to use?
They also have more development because they have source code and we don't ... Build quality on this phone ****s on Samsung

EVO ALL DAY!!!!! im just a htc fan.. well the evo line anyways.. i have had all 3 and they all kick major a$$!!!! this phone is the sh*T!!!!!! love it
Yea must not be talking about dev support for the at&t S3. I just rooted my buddies today, and there is next to nothing available for it. It's still very early tho.
The Evo lte does appear to be slower than I thought on development.. But that's due to a number of things.
Both nice phones, but I have a thing for htc, even tho they are starting to slack big time on updates/source codes/support

I'll take the ltevo over that s3 anyday. I hate how Samsung bent over backwards for apple when developing that phone. Don't even have a black version because their scared ****less of being sued.

I kind of do. But I understood that going from HTC to Samsung would (IMNSHO) be a downgrade in the user experience.
The screen size & battery life along with CM/AOSP/AOKP is a good decision for myself.

On wm was the only time I liked it cause it help hide that hideous 6.1
Yea, the windows GUI was hideous. I remember running android on my Tilt2 from the SD card. Didn't run great, but it made the decision to just get an Android phone when they went to Windows 7 a no-brainer!
That, and when I saw the Dell Streak with a 5 inch screen, I was in love... :thumbup:

I always loved the SENSE UI and yes i do miss it a lot. it would be nice to have Sense UI on our Note but it might become unusable b/c note is kinda laggy right now and with Sense UI Force close or freeze all the time...
I had HTC HD2, HTC SENSATION 4g and Now a friend of mine gave me his htc evo 3d. i use it as a secondary phone i have no service on it but it is connected to wifi to make/receive calls/sms. there are rumors that HTC is making a 5" screen phone for verizon and if that comes out i might switch to Verizon even though i hate them.

God I hated Sense on my Evo 3d. No copy and paste from the dialer to start. Remove sense (install a clean rom) and Caller ID breaks. Plus a whole bunch of other small annoyances that add up to a whole lot of frustration. Maybe the new version is better but I'll never go back to Sense.
Sense ui.....=HTC bloat.....imho
Loved the 4 htc devices I have used, but they sure ran nice on CM....g
I think htc lost their way. I loved sense on wm6.5 on my hd2, especiLly the hacked ROMs that increased the icons. I preferred that GUI to their android GUI (which was based on their wm GUI originally). I have most of myold devices (all the way back to a Psion Orhamiser!) And its clear HTC once had really cool devices. Now they are ME TOO. No real differentiation. Samsung is winning at the moment.
But watch out for ASUS. They will appear from nowhere in the mobile market with outstanding devices (much like they have in the notebook market and now the Microst tablet).

the only thing I miss from the sense is the camera feature that you could make funny faces while taking the picture. other than that I am totally happy with the samsung version of android. I recently switched to jelly bean and I like it even more.
I've always liked it too but it's true it's become way too bloated after like sense 2.0

So is there a sense port for our Notes or what I love Sense the themes the skins the widgets for those of you that say it lags well that may be true of stock sense but the Devs here on XDA have fixed that on all versions to make it fly My wife has my old HTC Inspire and I still play with it from time to time and it makes me miss sense alot team Black outs ICS sense 3.6 is great and so is Sabsa Prime ICS sense 4.0 so if there is a port for our Notes I would love to get it:victory:

HTC One X Line to Get Sense 5 Update

HTC just verified in their Facebook page that their One X (and others) will be getting a Sense 5 UI update (excluding some HTC One specific functions). What do you guys and gals think? Will we get it as well seeing how our phone is kind of a sister phone to the One X? Will we already have a new Evo and Sprint won't continue to release updates for our handset? Or will we only get a hacked together version of it from the One X build thanks to our awesome developers.
Does this extend the life of our phone? Will it hold you until the next Evo?
Here's the source by the way:
[Update: Confirmed] HTC May Upgrade One X, One X+, One S, And Butterfly To Sense 5 UI
I was just about to post this, you beat me to it. I had all but assumed we wouldn't get it but now I'm holding out hope we will. I sure hope so!

Nevermind, just realized that it was updated.
Don't they have to continue support for so many months? I would say we probably will but it will happen around Christmas

I think if this is the case, then they're moving forward with their plan of Quality of Quantity.
Well, call me the pessimistic one, but I don't think so. I'm satisfied with a port, honestly.
If the camera is as good as they make it out to be then I will gladly come back. But initial comparisons to the Lumia show its still not that great.. Can't wait for some reviewers to get their hands on it.
Blink feed looks pretty neat and I like the new sense layout.

Are there any Sense roms with Sense 5 yet?
It'll be a gimped version. That's a guarantee. Just like sense 3.6. I'll take it, though.
Meh. There are tons of apps that do the same thing as BlinkFeed but allow you to add your own sources. I do like the fact that Sense 5 makes use of Roboto though.

After reading a few reviews I am starting to become convinced that the EVO LTE is capable of doing many of the things/features that HTC is trying to sell us with the HTC One. The HTC One camera reviews out there have been horrific so far in regards to the hype HTC is trying to sell us on.
I am at the point now that if a Dev in due time can create the same theme and features that the one has then there is really no reason for me to upgrade and bail on my EVO LTE. I also heard the HTC One Screen is not as bright either.
I have absolutely no faith in the possible Sprint/HTC Sense 5 Update.
This further proves my theory that HTC pretty much tries to sell us on that "this is the best phone yada yada" that they will support with updates and innovation galore only to see them pull up the red carpet and good china silverware after a month or so of the release date moving on to the next phone to bait us with leaving us hanging for the promised updates and innovation that never materialize.

That's as far as Android version goes. Not Sense UI is concerned. That's why the EVO 3D didn't get Sense 4 when it went to ICS like the 4G LTE had.

Right, but they could've developed Sense 4 for the EVO 3D, and left out the image chip features. If we get Sense 5, it'll be a more watered down version like that. They want to sell these new phones for those features as well.

Sense 3.6 is sense 4 but without the image sense chip software in it. Its not water downed but it just isn't capable it run that software. True we might get a water down sense 5 but not many features will be missing
