We’re big fans of dedicated camera buttons around here, especially when they’re on device that don’t often see such buttons – in this case an HTC device, believe it or not. There’s a switch that goes back and forth between 3D and 2D specifically on your camera, next to this a lovely round and giant dedicated camera button. Then there’s a couple of rather unique and well-placed additions that you’re not going to see on ANY other devices in just such a form, both of these features on the right (or the top, if you’re holding the device in landscape mode). There’s a Micro USB port along the left, an intent along the bottom for popping off the battery cover if you like, and another excellent use of soft plastic on the volume rocker on the right. You’ve got a headphone jack on the top near the power/lock button which is in the standard top-right location but has a lovely soft-plastic feel. Only time will tell at this point.What you’ve got here is a device that’s solidly built, has a lovely 4.3″ 540 x 960 qHD display up front with glasses-free 3D, dual 5 MP cameras on the rear and a 1.3 MP front-facing camera for video chat. Who knows? This might be among the only non Sense builds for the EVO 3D to have a working HDMI out or camera. Please provide feedback (logcat preferred) so that the dev can fix the remaining issues. The ROM is far from being a daily driver, but with some work it will surely get there. Do keep in mind that you will need to use a kernel with SELinux disabled if you are planning on using root-dependent apps such as Titanium Backup.
Having said this, and considering the lack of support, the dev has done quite a good job in releasing this ROM as it has a lot of functionality going for it such as WiFi, calls (albeit there are reports of it not working properly), and several other bits that will make you enjoy Lollipop on your EVO 3D. Yes, sources do exist for the likes of Gingerbread and ICS, but the necessary bits and pieces to port the functionality that makes the EVO 3D what it actually is are rather well kept secrets. For those of you familiar with the EVO 3D, you will understand that porting for this device is not a simple feat by any means, mainly due to the unreleased source for several important bits of the device such as the camera.
