Myn’s Warm ROM Brought to Evo 3D

 If any of you have ever owned an HTC Evo 3D or an HTC Evo 4G and are in to getting under the hood of those phones, then you know Myn's ROM.  He is one of the best Sense Developers if not THE best sense developer (IMO) on XDA.  I've enjoyed many of hours playing with his ROM's, tweaks and mods on my HTC Evo 4G.  Now he has a sandbox in the Evo 3D section?  Buckle your seatbelt folks!  This team is amazing and nothing short of perfection.  I did read in the XDA thread that he will be bouncing back and forth between his OG Evo and his Evo 3D....  So we'll be having Myn's love for both phones.  Great news for my household!  My wife has his work on her Evo 4G and my daughter has his work on her Evo 3D.
 

It’s rare when a ROM is so popular, the number of thread views are almost equal to the total number of members on XDA. As is the case with the original Warm ROM TwoPointTwo. One of the most popular of all time for those toting the HTC Evo 4g.
Now those who have migrated to the HTC Evo 3D, you can once again get a taste what is arguably XDA Recognized Developer (and all around good guy) Myn’s greatest work thanks to the work of fellow XDA Recognized Developer JoelZ9614 and the rest of Team Warm.
The sexy, lightly themed and totally awesome ROM has received a bunch of upgrades from it’s last public release on an Evo device beginning with going from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3 and including:
Added GPU UI Acceleration (instead of CPU)
Added Additional Reboot options (Recovery, Bootloader, Hot Restart, Reboot) (NOTE: Hot Restart currently not working properly)
Added DSP Manager (Thanks cyanogen)
Added CRT TV shutdown animation
Added HW Acceleration Tweak To Adreno_config
Added SMS Backup/Restore
Added Tweak to increase sdcard read ahead buffer (Thanks Misfit)
Added 3D Home Screen (Toggable in Settings | Warm Tweaks)
Added Native Screenshot Functionality (Press Home + Power at the same time)
Added Zeus Mods [kinda] Quick Settings
Changed WiFi Scan Interval To 180 seconds to further conserve battery
Added Tweak to persist home app in memory
Added various battery tweaks
So for those who want the good old feel and look of the original Warm ROM, you can head on over to the original thread for download links, installation instructions, a full change log and all the Warm goodness those from the HTC Evo 4g remember.
Thanks XDA!

Cyanogenmod 7 valpha3 available for the Evo 3d

Even though the boys over on the Cyanogenmod Team (Mostly @toastcfh and @SHIFT) are calling this a valpha, I use it as my daily.  There are a few things that aren't working with this build, Bluetooth (Car stereo is borked), 4g, Netflix security issues, and a few minor bugs (Bluetooth is working fine for me).
For those of you that have never used Cyanogenmod 7 or any AOSP ROM make sure you do a full wipe (data, cache, and dalvic cache), then wipe it again to be safe.  It's very different then going from a Sense ROM to another Sense ROM where you generally only have to wipe cache, dalvic and good to go (although its always a good idea to do a full wipe but not nesessary).

Cyanogenmod is vanilla, meaning they dont have any carrier bloat ware, or bogged down by huge launchers (Sense, Moto Blur, Touchwiz, etc.), and are the purest form of android you can get your hands on before anyone else does. Some people prefer all the bells and whistles that Sense, MotoBlur and TouchWiz bring....  I am not one of them.  Give me pure android and let me put what bells and whisltes I want on my phone. That's the way EVERYONE'S phone should be!  All of my opinions are correct (it is my blog) ;).

So to anyone that owns an Evo 3D and wants to dive in to some AOSP goodness, I'll have a link with the downlad and directions.

OK I'm going to do this in one breath *gasp*

INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Evo 3D (or coming from another ROM)?
1. Unlock/root your device and install twrp or Clockwork Recovery(You MUST be NAND unlocked!)
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. Update your radio if necessary
4. WIPE
5. Install the ROM
5. Optionally install the Google Addon

- Upgrading from earlier CM7 or nightly build?
1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. Install the ROM (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)

HOW TO REPORT BUGS OR PROBLEMS?
- Was it a hard reboot? Get me the file "/proc/last_kmsg".
- Was it a soft reboot or a "boot loop"? Run "adb logcat" and get me the full output.
- Pastebin links preferred
- Please use the issue tracker whenever possible!

Please visit the CyanogenMod Wiki for step-by-step installation walkthroughs and tons of other useful information.

Please note flashing someone else's kernel may ruin your experience with this rom and I advise against it. This rom was a joint effort between Bumblebee, cretin45, defer, kmobs, myself, and the rest of the CM team.

Thank you to EVERYONE involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging and documenting! Enjoy!

KNOWN ISSUES:
- bluetooth working! but car stereo mode is borked
- nextflix has a security issue
- wimax broken for now
- taking 3d images and video not working
- 3d pictures (mpo, jps, ect) do not display in 3d
- FFC takes pics upside down

LINK TO DOWNLOAD ALPHA ROM 3


If you're new to flashing AOSP, you must flash the ROM zip in the OP first, and then the zip for Google Apps, linked below:

Google Apps

This post will be updated accordingly with more info as it develops.
