Repurposing the Evo 3D as a dedicated camera - HTC EVO 3D

I love taking 3D pictures and videos with my girlfriend's Sprint Evo 3D. We are ditching Sprint for T-Mobile, so she will have to get a new phone. We will keep the Evo 3D and make it our dedicated 3D camera/camcorder. Here are some of my ideas:
ROM: CoolSense v17 by coolexe . My GF prefers Sense, and this ROM has been working well for her for over a year.​
Kernel: Coolz Kernel 5.7 by coolexe & cjoliver Been using an older version for the last year, pretty rock solid. I think it makes Sense (pun intended) to use a kernel from the same dev as the ROM.​
Cam Mods: Cool Cam Mod v6 by coolexe. We used v5 for over a year, its pretty sweet. Took some awesome New Years photos in 3D, and they came out great!​
Other Stuff: Rom Toolbox Pro, to remove bloat and unneeded apps. A couple of offline maps for navigating outside the grid. GPS Status to fine tune location, and Dropbox to auto-sync the pictures over wifi.​
Did I forget anything? Got any suggestions? Let me know!

Oh , use Evo 3d as a camera . Good idea.
I think OTG is also useful ,you can use stickmount to mount usbstorage. : D

I like this phone, and I'm afraid that I will brick the phone (like previous EVO 3D ) However ...

Do you have a phereo.com account. Want to see some 3d samples from the cool mods camera app!

I was thinking the same.
#1 most important thing, I think, would be to gut the telephony-relevant parts for improved battery life (currently running mine in airplane mode).
#2, would be some way to make the shutter button wake the phone and/or switch to the camera automatically
(1-click quick-shot, with screen off would be a dream)
Are the above possible, with this phone?

I'd also suggest picking up the biggest battery pack you can find. If all you want is a camera, you can definitely sacrifice some portability in favour of more battery life

go into the 3v0 cdma section of the site and look up negalite blurom. when you install it there is an option for tablet mode which ditches the phone parts and it acts just like a tablet which is what i will be doing once the new htc phone comes out in september.
enjoy

[Request] Port Amaze 4G camera apk?

The Amaze has a VERY nice camera app, beats our stock app in a few ways. I searched and found it had been ported to the Evo 3D, the graphics were a little screwy, and it FC'S when you take a pic.
Anyone willing and able to port this, fix the graphics and fonts and get it to work?
What's different or better?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
More bells and whistles mostly, a LOT more scenes to choose from, a higher ISO setting, also, the Evo 3D guys are claiming much improved pic quality. Plus, options are good I THINK its the same sensor in ours and the Amaze?
you could just improve the stock camera app give me a couple of minutes and ill make a commit to my svn with a better camera app
So far I'm not a fan of the stock camera app.... no metering option, ISO only to 800, most of the scenes seem worthless. The picture adjustments change too severely. But mostly, it ruins pics by defaulting to way too high ISO, and too much saturation.
I've been using Vignette and getting MUCH better results.
You can pull the APK from any of their roms and try to install it, you might have to wait until we have root access and push it though.
def agree the camera has room for improvement
the worst thing with the stock app has to be the utterly ridiculous white balance.... NONE of the options give a result that is anywhere near correct in artificial lighting.
I heard in all the reviews the sensor was improved, but i dont see how over my thunderbolt or incredible2. Cant wait til this whole country is covered in 4g so i dont need a new sim card everytime i use a non 4g phone, utterly wasteful
The sensor DOES seem to be much improved. I took a video last night in very low light that my Dinc NEVER would have been able to get. It would have been a blurry mess. I've gotten some good low light pics too. But I've been using Vignette which blows the stock camera app away in both picture quality and number of options. It was my kids birthday yesterday, we took her to Chuck E Cheese, forgot to bring our point and shoot, but the Rez made a more than adequate substitute....
for anyone not impressed with this camera please do yourself a favor and try some alternate software....
This thread is in the wrong forum.
if you were to take a 13mp camera for example from the droid razr hd in china, and pop it in the rezound, would it work? or would you need programming for it?

nope.....needs kernel support...the libraries need to support it as well
*bump*
Still holding out hope for a ported Amaze camera app or an improved stock app...
EDIT: for what its worth, the camera hardware is pretty decent. I've been using Vignette as my primary camera app and consistently get better results than the stock app. It also has many more options and adjustments available.
The downside is it is slow, clunky, and not well integrated like the stock app. I find I have to constantly babysit the settings to get the really good results, and getting to the gallery or sending messages requires leaving the app as the built in "shortcuts" don't work correctly.
The evo 3d apk works but takes really screwed up pictures

weird.... I got one that was ported from the Amaze FOR the 3D, it installs from apk, launches and works but FC's when trying to save a picture.

ICS, combination of voice technology like siri and vlingo combined, some good use of NFC like google wallet (although you'll still need your wallet!).

For me, pretty much just ICS AOSP

I hope to see rom with enforce stereo↔mono recording with video related apps.
As you all know, mono recording is excellent with outdoor recording, but stereo is not.
And all video recording apps use stereo recording rather then mono recording

What I meant was that other then amaze camera app, the video recording apps are always using stereo rather then mono. I believe it is set to default.
Currently, I'm using Amaze as daily dash cam using Black box app and sound is just like when I record them with stereo. ( Image is sound is )
I have tried more then dozens car black box apps from market(free/paid) and every black box apps are using stereo recording other mono even if they have stereo/mono select button.

it personal experience its not too bad, its just a little more "trebly." probably has something to do with the other microphone, the noise cancelling one on the back. It's probably not as good as the main mic or made for a different purpose and now their using it to get stereo. when I listen to movies with my headphones it bothers me when its mono, i'd rather just turn the bass up a little and have stero !!! lol
maybe it'll be adressed it ICS if it's not a hardware issue.
why are you all so in hurry about ICS?. I've tried ICS on my nexus s and i rollback to gingerbread.. so many apps are not compatible with ICS yet, wait awhile before it's worthy of dev's hardwork. and ICS battery is simply terrible (compared both best battery saving ROM from ICS and GB @nexus s)
i'd say, what i miss from nexus s development is =
- swipe to clear notification
- power widget on notification (still better than quick setting)
- BLD (back light dimmer by ezeekel)
- live OC (overclock both CPU and GPU at the same time)

you might be right, right now we have one core support on gingerbread. I can't imagine battery life when two cores are supported...It could be good or bad though, if used efficiently, two cores can draw lower power unless needed, but also give you the ability to perform better when you really need it.
I have seen a lot of complaints on the market that all these apps are not compatible with ICS. ICS is a lot of eye candy that can be achieved through skins themes and roms at this point, besides although I'm partial to sense, I would rather have a better working/more customizable sense (type of customization you see with adw and golauncher) that draws less cpu power and has more functionality than ICS.
Since my phone is stock I switch back and forth between adw and sense launcher and starting to like sense more and more. Some minor things that annoy me like unresizable widgets, and non customizable number of icons on the screen, and the dock bar could be used more efficiently to put icons on there as ICS has. I usually use one page with ADW for all my icons and widgets that i need. but with sense I have to use 3 pages.
With all this said I am looking forward to the combination of sense and ICS. I hope HTC does a good job on this...hopefully jump right to sense 4.0
I'd like 4G on my device, but that's a T-mo request not XDA, but I'd like to see ICS and Sense 3.5 or some variant and to know if our phones have a true dual-core cpu. I have read other forums about devices saying they have one but truly only one core works.

AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.7 or CM9, whenever that comes out. I prefer the stock look, but also suffer from some of the few bugs that I'm experiencing in BeastMOD 2.3.0. I wish we had mods that weren't based on the HTC kernels and foundations.

Slightly n00by question re GSM Evo 3D

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.

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

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...

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

Any rom based off of stock has 3d working. Which roms have you flashed that don't have 3d?

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.

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

[Q] is Evo 3D still worth it?

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

And you are right! 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
P.S. if you think I helped, you can hit the thanks button if you want

now updating
Ive been using leedroids firmware/rom for the last 2 years, and been great but its not getting slow, and not compatible with apps etc, plus rebooting couple times a week etc
so too am now trying to update, want to stay with sense (as its HTC !)
and of course want to keep the 3D fully working ! (still love using the 3D !)
would be good to have HDMI out still work too ?
so i too am trying to decide what kernal/rom to use !!!
from what i have read over the past day, is that sense 3.6 and below should have working 3D, 4 and upwards will not.
and ICS and under, senseless are working with 3D but not with jellybean ...
can anyone conform this ???

Only sense 3.6 and lower have everything working and only sense based ROMs have working 3d (these are mostly sense 3.6 base)

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.
