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.

I have not had trouble running any games from the market. CF3D program also allows you to play tegra games which it handles nicely.

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 XDA is one of the best around.

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 wanted a phone, with some pretty decent specs.
And that's when I discovered the HTC Desire X.
At first it looked small, nothing too compelling,
Little did I know that this was poor foretelling.
It looked quite dull, quite cheap and quite bland,
that was before it landed in my hand.
A hand to a glove is like a hand to this phone,
It just feels so kind, you can't leave it alone.
But it's not just a nice grip that this phone possesses,
its predecessor's problems - this phone addresses.
Super screen, ace audio and camera filters too,
I think that Instagram had better watch out for you.
But if a camera's not enough, you just have to have more,
that's when you meet, the all acclaimed - Play Store.
With 1000's of apps, just waiting to be found,
From the ubiquitous Angry Birds, to the incredible SoundHound.
I found the phone, but with spectacular specs.
Thank you HTC, for my HTC Desire X
xD that was awesome.

Just wondering guys if any new Rom's are being worked on for LG g2 featuring the new android interface, Android L.
I see that there are some for Google devices, but I was wondering if anything is gonna be done for other phones.

It will be done eventually. When it will happen depends on what needs to be done in the rom. Any fixes or new features tend to be of higher priority then adding a Android L interface.
I thought this was a thread for the development. After I checked it, this should belong to Q&A or General right?
OK, since the recent announcement from OnePlus we will have to wait a bit until Marshmallow update finally hits our OnePlus X devices.
The subforum for Android development for X seems to be very quiet and I'm simply just wondering if there is any new ROM in the making.

Yes.
Don't take this the wrong way but why?
I am trialing the Sony Z3 Compact with its official Marshmallow concept. I have a Nexus 9 running MM.
The only real advantage of MM is the battery saving features.
Other than that after a few months with the OP2 and now a week with OPx I find Oxygen a rather pleasing operating system with many distinct advantages over Lollipop.
Add to that the fact that I use Nova, and hey presto, I have a phone that with careful camera use, is a delight to use.

Why? Because I want the latest Android version on my brand new phone. I would buy a nexus phone but they are ugly as hell and the OnePlus X is no doubt the sexiest Android phone to date!
I want a phone with M but chose a phone that wouldn't get it for a couple of months, so thats where this thread came to life.
The only real advantage of MM is the battery saving features.

Doze is basically the biggest reason I want M. OnePlus X's battery haven't been bad or anything yet, though.
Fair comment, I guess that for the fist time in a while, I am rather content with a device.

Same here. The phone overall is very nice. Everyone who have seen/held it have said something like 'Woah, thats a nice phone!'.
Imagine if you could turn any phone into vanilla Android without anything "extra" needed..

I'm really interested in getting this phone, I have skipped the Note 8 until I see what this phone brings, and from what I saw at the presentation I looks like an AWESOME phone, but when I look at past Huawei flagships (mate 9, P9, etc) almost non-existing major updates, custom roms support and mods I start thinking if paying a premium price for a phone like this its really worth for a person like me who likes to play around with rooting, modding and installing custom roms in my devices or should I play safe and get a Samsung or Pixel device.
No. Do not buy Huawei if modding is important.
Non existent with previous mate 9 and barely with mate 8.
Across the board, it's not getting easier

To be honest you are better off not getting any flagship if you like modding. The pixel is a pain to dev for to the point that many devs are not getting the new pixel or even supporting it. Samsung well we all know that dev support for that is a joke.

If modding is your thing then I would look at something like one plus. Things to avoid are devices with dual partition setup. The pixel showed how much devs dont want to deal with that.
Things to look out for are things like kernel source being up to date which I hate to say knocks 90% of the China based OEM out of it. Maybe the Euro version of samsung devices might be OK but even they get little to no real devs support. I would look around the site. See what devices have real support. No I am not talking about tons of los based roms. That is not development. I mean real development with system mods and hardware tweaks.

Things like what? The one bonus is that with one plus it can be fixed for the most part as to where even the kernel code on huawei devices is useless.

This I agree with but many of the OEM are opting out of sdcards ever since google removed all the code fore native sdcard support from android years ago. But to be hones 64gb is more then enough for a mobile device. Mix that with some common sense (backing up stuff. No I dont mean cloud backup lol)

Why not? You can get systemless root (Exynos) or TWRP installed classic root (Snapdragon) for Note8.
Sure Knox and/or SafetyNet gets tripped, but that's the price to pay for rooting.
But you can root current flagship phones and there's plenty of modding community for Note8.

Samsung based roms are not development. Samsung devices have sucked for development for years. This is why main stream developers don't get that device.
Ok, thanks for the info. I haven't followed the scene. Just installed a good LO fork on my Note3 and it is working wonders (sans NFC and GPS/camera performance is generic).

Yes. The 6p (minus the battery issues) is good for rom development. It will get support from 3rd parties for at least another 2 years.
I would say the one plus 3 or 3t
The nexus 6p
Any one of the Sony devices as they have a good development setup.

Problem with OP (I switched from OP5 to IP7+ just recently because I kept hearing rumors that OP5T/OP6 might come out and I was afraid the value might drop to a point where re-sale value is no longer profitable..IP7+ is awesome in many ways, but my initial goal was getting LG V30 but now it seems Mate 10 is much wiser choice because of its awesome screen to body ratio + 16:9 aspect ratio which currently IMO is way better than 18:9/18:9.5 considering full app support, including youtube and so on) is that it does not have its own identity - its basically an iphone clone design wise and with it you look like a wannabe iphone user . Its awesome in performance but that identity thing sucks + they recent actions where they discontinue a model even before 6 month span is just plain ridiculous (OP3 to OP3T and then OP3T to OP5 all done within 1 year)..

Tell that to the fact that they offer how to build aosp for their devices, have worked with developers on it as well as pretty much made the theme engine that susbstratum works off of.
Will there be loses. Sure but that is the difference between aosp and using code made for the device. You don't always get all the features of the device with aosp. But that is not the point of using aosp. It's to learn.
