I've been using Android 4.0.3 (2.89.651.2) with S-OFF and 1.58.58 HBoot with no problems. Everything is working fine and for all intents and purposes I should probably just leave it as-is. But... the customizing itch is starting up for me and I'd like to explore some ROM's.
I can't remember where I'd read it, but it was a while back... maybe in Jan '13, that the Evo 3D was meant for ICS and therefore the JellyBean ROM's will always bring with them various compromises (such as stability). Flash at your own risk. Well that was then, this is now. I do realize that many developers have moved on to other phones and that the Evo 3D is starting to go the way of the old Hero. But... on the odd chance...
I did notice that there is a Sprint update to the stock ICS ROM, version 2.95. I don't know what it introduces and if it's worthwhile to get, but I did read that if you've got HBoot 1.58 with S-OFF, you have to switch it to S-ON to apply it and you won't be able to go back to S-OFF.
I've been thinking about flashing Cool Sense ICS v17, MIUI V5, or Viper 3D 1.6.3. Anybody have experience with one or more of these and can share recommendations/experiences? My thought is to go with Cool Sense, since it's ICS. But if the MIUI or Viper JB ROM's have overcome earlier JB limitations, I'd be up to try them.
Thanks!
