CyanogenMod 9 is a custom AOSP ROM that has been modified for use now on the GSM versions of the HTC EVO 3D (i.e. not Sprint). We are also now receiving reports that it’s receiving official nightly builds; up until now, the only builds that the EVO 3D saw were unofficial, so it’s a pretty great step forward getting an EVO 3D into the officially supported device tree.
When development was abandoned on the CDMA port a couple of weeks ago by Agrabren, things looked bleak for the EVO 3D ever getting a working CM9: the issues that have plagued the EVO 3D’s custom development front reared their ugly heads again and showed no signs of letting, up even if the developer moved development off of CDMA to GSM.
The current official branch of CM9 for the EVO 3D has no documentation that I can find concerning what works, what doesn’t, and where some of the code came from. There’s no telling if they picked up where Devil Toast left off or not. You’ll have to flash it, along with a GAPPS package, and let us know, as I do not have access to a GSM EVO 3D.
Theoretically, GSM development for the EVO 3D should go a lot faster at the moment because HTC has complied with the GPL and released the code to the kernel in a reasonable timeframe. The CDMA version is still awaiting a kernel release, last I checked.
[CyanogenMod] Thanks, Simon!
You are quite welcome! I am glad to see that at least the GSM EVO 3D folks are getting their official CM9 on.
You are right about the kernel source for the CDMA EVO 3D. It has not been released yet. Hopefully, HTC will drop it soon. That would go a long way to getting the CDMA EVO 3D into CM9 (and CM10)!
It’s probably based on Agraben’s work. Most of the CM9 and CM10 ROMs are for both the CDMA and GSM EVO 3D.
Team D.I.R.T. Android 4.1.1 AOKP is definitely based on Agraben’s CM10 work (with his permission, of course). At least with an official GSM CM9 ROM out, there is a chance a CDMA one will arrive eventually.
Look at the bug list for AOKP though, no 4G, no camera. Something is up with however they incorporated it.
4G and the camera have never worked for the EVO 3D in Jelly Bean. That is something that is still being worked on.
You would think it would work just like ICS since they’re so similar, but something is holding it back. I have faith that it will get worked out fast though.
doh, sorry, saw we’re talking 10 not 9.
No problem. But yeah, the AOKP Team D.I.R.T. ROM is CM10.
As funny as it sounds, I’m still running Devil’s Toast CM9. It’s been a great CM9 ROM, despite progress being discontinued.
who needs CDMA source from htc
Not you, we know that
We need CDMA!!!
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but..any link to a working root method for the Evo 3D ICS with HBOOT 1.58..finally decided to root but have seen nothing for 1.58 or that works..
Root method for all is HTCDev. You can use Regawmod to do it automatically if you want.
S-OFF involves the wire trick and J-bear… you don’t need S-OFF… it’s nice, but unlocked/rooted is easy
The ROM they have listed on the site to download is 2.17.651.5..the new version is 2.89.651.2…does that mean I have to wait till they update it on their site?
