EVO 3D ROMs   ViperROM RC 1.3 [ROM Review] Screen Shot 2011 09 02 at 5.49.38 PM e1315004087835

You asked for it and we brought it. A review of ViperROM for the EVO 3D, thought by some to currently be the best ROM for the HTC EVO 3d. Obviously, only you can make that decision, but I’ll tell you this. I’ve tried every ROM that’s been released for the EVO 3D and this is easily my favorite of the bunch. All the tweaks I could want have been implemented, it looks great, but most of all, it works. No lag. No freezing. Nothing. It just works. And when it comes to a great ROM, that’s what you want to see.

Why Should I Install This ROM?

  • The fastest EVO 3D ROM?
  • High attention to detail. Nothing was overlooked in this ROM.
  • Essential additions and ommissions.
  • Built in overclocking abilities
  • Quick script functions to remove more bloat

Check out the video for the full scoop on this great EVO 3D ROM. Downloads and full details below.

And if you haven’t yet, we’ve got you covered on how to root the EVO 3D.

    Did you happen to notice that Google street view is grayed out?  I have it installed according to the Android market but the option is grayed out in Google Maps. 

    • Ignant Foo

      Never mind.  I used a different address and it works now.   Funny thing is the 1st address I used was my next door neighbor’s address.  

  • Ignant Foo

    did you notice that the screen capture capability on the EVO 3D was lost with this ROM?

    • http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)

      It wasn’t lost, it hadn’t been implemented yet.

      • Ignant Foo

        Thanks. Also curious how do I set default apps? I use Handcent SMS instead of Messages but in Manage Apps, Handcent, launch by default is grayed out.

        • http://thedroiddemos.com Brent Klauck (djR3Z)

          When you perform actions for a text message (e.g. clicking on the message icon when clicking on a contact), it should ask you which app you want to launch. Have you already turned off notifications for the regular message app?

          • Ignant Foo

            Thanks for the reply, I set Handcent as a default app within the Handcent app.  Also found the drocap2 for screen caps.  Liking this ROM alot!!  Can’t wait for V2.  Thanks for the review!!   If I can only use a 3D pic as my wallpaper, it would be perfect :)   Is there an app that allows that?
