fixed one of them...
[HTC Droid DNA] fernando sor:
What I'm seeing is issues on stock also. I think this could be related to being just HTC Dec unlock, not being able to write to system and recovery.

I've seen things issues on this phone I've never seen before.

I know a guy who says he figured out the system write issue. Hopefully he will post soon
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
yeah the images i added to framework are probably in com.htc.resources as well,

i just got used to adding stuff to framework-res, so its how i happened to do it in this case

also, should have some more optional rosie layouts for install in aroma for 1.1.0

heres 5x6 portrait
[HTC Droid DNA] x3demond3x:
Someone figured out how to be able to write to the system??

OK, just re read the whole thread and didn't see it, but is there a way to get the HTC lock screen back if you chose the JB one when installed?

[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
No there is not. It has been removed entirely you'll have to dirty flash the rom and choose rosie and it should restore the Sense lockscreen and launcher.
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
I reinstalled Youtube but same error persists:
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
Several things:

1)get a logcat in order to provide dev with error info

2)did you use twrp to install?

3)do u have any mods installed?

4)tibu important apps and wipe data/fac reset and reflash its likely to solve all your problems if you are having an error that others are not experiencing
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
1)get a logcat in order to provide dev with error info

- Attached

2)did you use twrp to install?

- CWM

3)do u have any mods installed?

- Nothing flashed other than the rom, except that I am using the status bar clock removal mod provided in the rom. It crashed randomly on my first flash, but that was fixed as I reflashed the rom with after a full wipe.

4)tibu important apps and wipe data/fac reset and reflash its likely to solve all your problems if you are having an error that others are not experiencing

- Done it before as for the problem stated above, and have reinstalled Youtube app separately.

Eh but I do not use the Youtube app often so it is not a big deal for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] Link1019:
ive seen many references to the method "dirty flash" in this thread.

im assuming dirty flash means...load recovery and flash zip. without any wipes. is that correct?
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
Yeah no wipe. Real crack fiend style :D
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
yes
[HTC Droid DNA] Link1019:
thanks. never hurts to confirm.
[HTC Droid DNA] BFirebird101:
This ROM is stuttering a lot on my phone all of a sudden. Could this be the kernel causing this? If so does anybody have the link for the stock boot image and kernel?
[HTC Droid DNA] RLKirk:
The clock removal mod causes YouTube to crash systemUI in landscape mode. Install a mod to get your clock back or dirty flash and it will work like expected again :)

[HTC Droid DNA] Ranger093:
That's simply a stock unsecure kernel. NOT Cubed
[HTC Droid DNA] rohitece06:
Does stock kernel need kernel modules?
[HTC Droid DNA] andybones:
if you flashed a custom kernel by DSB or Zarboz, then you will need to re-flash the stock boot.img AND the stock kernel modules.
[HTC Droid DNA] boomerod:
What happened to the stock Sense lockscreen, skins, etc.?
[HTC Droid DNA] Virus:
Just activated mine looks like its time for ViperDNA !!
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
You have the choice to either keep or remove them. The option appears as you install the rom.
[HTC Droid DNA] boomerod:
Yep, I understand, and I selected all HTC options there were when going through Aroma. Reset and ran it again and same result - JB AOSP lockscreen, missing skins, etc.

I haven't flashed this Rom just yet, but, the aroma installer I used on the Rezound REMOVED what was checked. Maybe it's the same here? Just thinking out loud.
[HTC Droid DNA] boomerod:
Hmmm, don't know, but seems that could explain it.
[HTC Droid DNA] dajmanjt:
I can verify that this is 100% correct. What you check is removed what is not checked is kept....

Clearly I am missing something ... How do you access the menu in apps with the 3 dot legacy missing?
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
you need to change recent apps mapping in settings -> display, buttons, & gestures -> recent apps

either set it to tap for menu, long press for recents or

tap for recents, long press for menu
[HTC Droid DNA] Irieone:
Thanks, I obviously needed more sleep!
[HTC Droid DNA] TheBiles:
Wow, I had ALL KINDS of bad experiences with this ROM. First, the installer froze after wiping my system, so I had no ROM. Luckily, I was able to boot into recovery and try again. Then, I rebooted the ROM after the first install, and many things completely disappeared! I had no mobile network connection, my SMS app (that I chose to NOT uninstall) completely disappeared, and I couldn't even access the Settings menu! Absolutely horrible!

Oh, and ****ty Clockwork won't restore my backup. Trying this ROM was a terrible idea.

Edit: And all of the "de-bloated" apps like Amazon MP3 and Kindle that I checked to have removed are still installed.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
Sorry to hear you had all of the above issues, obviously that's not the typical outcome of an install

You are probably better off staying stock or using other people's stuff, since using my stuff was a terrible idea
[HTC Droid DNA] BigRed35m:
For someone who is indicative of being a marine, you sure are displaying extreme unprofessional-ism towards a man who does such great work for free without asking anything. Perhaps you could have just asked for support and indicated your issues and seen if he could have helped you resolve them. Considering he seems to have always replied to someone within hours.

Nitsuj, Great work! I am loving this ROM So far. Now, 24 pages of forum is a lot to go through, so I apologize if I say something that has already been said.

I've flashed this ROM Twice now, First time it went flawlessly. The second time, Aroma would freeze on the most random parts of the customization (IE, selecting which apps i want to de-install, or agreeing to the terms). Other than that, I haven't had any issues with the ROM at all.... The only thing that I could recommend is expanding the "Un-Install Options List" a little more to include some or all of Rexdog's de-bloating list.

I don't know if this is something that I did, but it seems like a lot of the standard widgets are gone, like the "Note" widget, the "HTC Clock/Weather" widget. The reason i reflashed the second time was to try to get all of it back, but it doesn't seem to have worked haha. Maybe you know specifically what i need to leave toggled or un-toggled on my next flash to keep items like that?

Thanks again!
[HTC Droid DNA] andybones:
Seem to be blaming everything/everyone but the one responsible. Y-O-U.
[HTC Droid DNA] robertmoore208:
Obviously you having a rooted phone is a bad idea, since none of those issues are even close to what should be seen by someone who had the slightest idea of what they where doing ... Being rude isn't going to get your point across , especially when you sound like a douche. I've heard iPhone's are more the speed of the special people why not head over that way .

[HTC Droid DNA] BigRed35m:
Ok, so there I was trying to re-flash to fix a couple Widget Errors that I was experiencing, and I had ot keep doing it several times because it kept freezing up while preforming the system wipe.

Well, it frooze up one last time, and now my phone won't boot past the HTC quietly brilliant screen. I can still boot into the bootloader, and enter recovery. But when i try to "Install zip from sdcard" then "Chose zip from sdcard" I get an error message back "E:Can't mount /sdcard/"

I try to use the backup/restore option and i get the same "E:Can't mount /sdcard/" error.

I am trying to flash the Origional RUU, but when I try to open the .exe or right click -> run as admin open the .exe, it won't open at all.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
odds are all of /data got formatted with some kind of wipe in recovery...since theres nothing on /data, recovery is actiing like theres an unmounted sdcard

you ll need to relock your bootloader

run the RUU

re unlock with your unlock token

re unlock may fail a few times (seems like you unlock, but dont) but will eventually work
[HTC Droid DNA] k2trill:
Thanks for this ROM man! Items been running great for me. I know the DNA has some things going on making backups, flashing, and customizing in general that are different from anything any of us have seen! Everyday, Android evolves into another new learning experience for us all though (why I love it)! Any time spent developing on it or any other device is much appreciated!
[HTC Droid DNA] BigRed35m:
I was trying to run the RUU, but it would never actually open no matter how many times i tried to run the .exe file. (Yes, phone was re-locked).

I guess something screwey did happen, but thans to the awesomeness of dsb, he helpd me find/flash the OEM Recovery, wipe/restore the system, and then i was able to mount the SD card, push the ROM, and flash the ROM again.

If anyone runs into an issue like this, please feel free to PM me and i'll help you the best i can with fixing the issue.

[HTC Droid DNA] fernando sor:
The debloat is coming back for a lot of people that has nothing to do with the Rom. Why do you think there are so few roms out? There are issues with recoveries and not being able to write to system . Be grateful this Rom has some good mods in it. If i was him I would pull it and tell ungrateful people like yourself to f off.

Learn some manners please.
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
Anyone having this problem?

I was having an issue similar to that except when mine was in landscape mode (i guess you could call it), but it was fixed when i restarted.

[HTC Droid DNA] madAdam6LOVE:
Been watching this thread closely because I'm anxious to flash a stable ROM. I don't mean to sound ill-mannered but there are many issues that give me pause.

I'm quite surprised this ROM is v1. Seems like it was rushed out of beta.

Let's see what the update brings.
[HTC Droid DNA] RLKirk:
Don't let the thread mislead you this Rom is very stable for a first release and has been my daily driver since 2 hours after I got the phone in the mail. Most errors are user related. Yes it has a few bugs here and there but so does a Rom that's been out for 3 or 4 months with weekly updates. That's the beauty of it. But if you feel you aren't ready to flash I understand but this Rom is perfectly ready for being your daily driver if you give it a chance. As soon as tweaks and mods are ready to go I will be happy myself :P
[HTC Droid DNA] robertmoore208:
its also been my daily driver ... WITH (zero) issues whatsoever ... those isolated cases in no way indicate a Rushed out of Beta. Why not try it out for yourself and judge with some knowledge rather than leave unhelpful remarks. Excited for the next update

Getting a system ui error when I tilt my phone orientation to landscape during a video. Anyone else having this issue? Only happens when I go landscape
[HTC Droid DNA] RLKirk:
Did you happen to do the clock in status bar delete when in aroma
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
New problems found so far:

- Status bar clock removal causes problems in landscape mode, mostly involving video playback

- HTC skins and lockscreens get deleted no matter what

- The bottom half of the AOSP lock screen becomes black after certain period of use

- Google sync does not work

- The globe disappeared in the clock app

- Aroma installation often suddenly freezes or reboots and gets frozen on the HTC screen, and wiped my phone completely once after crashing

All the problems above persisted after several dirty flashes and full wipes.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
Yeah its strange that this issue is arising, was never a problem removing the clock with this method before

Aroma isn't playing as nice as it should, don't know why, wish I did

Are the other issues indicitive of a desense install? Cuz skins shouldn't be deleted unless you choose that or manual uninstall in aroma

On another note, update should be out by Tuesday
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
I'm a pretty avid poster in another forum and just curious. Is all the complaining an xda thing? This rom clearly states beta status(although its stable enough for release). These devs don't have to share anything why would you do that? It's not just the DNA forum either.

Via DROID DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
I think you mean the genome rom says beta status :silly:

But early on with a new phone, there's going to be quirks and issues with development

A lot has to do with our recoveries and adapting scripts to it, and their issues that need to be worked out

And rom specific issues get helped/fixed due to users posting bug reports (good job by many who have so far) so I know what to fix :good:

Complaining happens in every forum...admittedly worse is some...just goes with the territory....ha gotta have thick skin to release anything these days
[HTC Droid DNA] madAdam6LOVE:
My comment about releasing V1 prematurely doesn't mean I do not appreciate and value this talented developer.

Less adventurous forum members often avoid beta versions and wait for the V1 "stable" release.

In my opinion the bugs identified seem more than isolated, user-related issues so a "beta" tag might help avoid disappointing and frustrating those of us expecting a more "stable" experience.

Looking forward to flashing the update!
[HTC Droid DNA] k2trill:
It's all beta dude. ANY ROM you flash is BETA. Nothing is perfect or these forums wouldn't exist. The term "stable" is relative. I can't pay my monthly bills with less than $6k/ month. Anything less is "unstable" for me. The next man may require $15k/month to function. It's all about choices. You can flash or you don't have to. If it's UNSTABLE for you after you try it, assuming you feel the original stock ROM is stable, then flash back to stock. We aren't YOUR lab rats trynna get it RIGHT for YOU! We are ALL just trying to get it as "right" as we can together! How bout you flash it and help US out!
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
Oops sorry about beta comment. Clearly I need to read the op lol! Other than installation which seems to be the device playing bad not the rom, the issues do seem to be isolated. Thanks for the work, looking forward to see what else you can pump out of this beast.

Nitsuj.... you are my hero. Thanks for being awesome :)

And for making my DNA fly. Between my galaxy nexus, galaxy s3, droid razr hd, and droid DNA I have to say the DNA has stolen my heart as my favorite. And your Rom is my daily diver. Keep up the great work.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
fwiw, most of the issues people experience are related to flashing the rom/issues with recovery

until great progress is made fixing twrp (dont think anyone working on it is aware or acknowledges the issues...which is a shame, its my fav recovery) i think these quirks are what we are stuck with

cwr and aroma? might be same issues as twrp, but i never used aroma with cwr on another phone, so idk

my best suggestion for an install atm is this

backup in whatever recovery your prefer

verify the backup does restore

copy the backup onto your computer (in case something goes wrong in install)

fastboot cwr (if on twrp)

be connected to a computer during install w/ adb access

install rom (wiping data in aroma)

if aroma freezes during install

adb reboot recovery

restart install

if rom istall goes haywire and starts boot cycling from ani to recovery

wipe data/factory reset in cwr

format data in cwr

begin rom install again

sounds like a crap load of stuff to do...but better safe than sorry :o

kind of a reality check on what we are actually doing with our phones and how risky it can be
[HTC Droid DNA] silverxbv2:
Yeah. HTC is definitely trying their hardest to make it difficult lately

[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
at the very least, they certainly arent helping us much :mad:
[HTC Droid DNA] jschill31:
Hello,

This phone has different partitions than we have seen in previous HTC devices. It will just take some time to figure out how to adapt to it, then the recoveries will be nailed. The complaining is getting a little strong, if you do not want to learn with the rest of us about your high-end phone than just stay stock and deal with the "stock" bugs that are popping up on their own. This phone will have DEV support since it is one of the best options out there it will just take time. The few that are posting (like the OP) are putting out a quality product, I personally have had zero issues once I learned more about this device and it's quirks. For anyone who continues to have any recovery issues, you can bounce back and forth between the two. The internal SD card is large enough to have both a TWRP and CWR folder with backups. If you start having reboots in one, fastboot flash the other. You should at least get one successful backup, flash or restore before having issues. As you use this phone the partitions are changing, this is one of the issues that is causing the read/write issue. Once you start having reboots again simply fastboot flash the other recovery. I have a strong feeling that this will be fixed within a couple of weeks. I am bummed that I can't seem to get any response from the TWRP guys, it is also my favorite.

Have faith in your community!

Cheers
[HTC Droid DNA] MikeG7265:
I can confirm that that the skins and the lockscreens are there and working just fine. Just played around with a few and they work great.
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
- Stock rosie+HTC skin/lockscreen unchecked for removal= fine

- Stock rosie+HTC skin/lockscreen checked= did not remove

- Desense= HTC skin/lockscreen removed whether they are checked or not. I know de-Sense supposedly means getting rid of all Sense aspects, but I wanted to keep the option to not have a lockscreen and keep one of the Sense skins while removing Sense apps/widgets and launcher.

- Rotating rosie+clock removal+HTC skin/lockscreen removal= System UI crashing on landscape and inconsistent results for HTC skin/lockscreen removal.

I guess it is best not to have the optional mods turned on for now. Installing with almost fully stock settings fixed most of the minor bugs. And surely there are no major problems that would cause drawbacks in daily uses...except for the Aroma installation.

But as long as the three button remap works, I'm happy with no complaints.

I am flashing this rom and it's been stuck at 7% format system for about 20 minutes now. Is it safe to reboot and try again?

[HTC Droid DNA] Kasab:
Same thing happened to me in aroma when wiping. 20 minutes is way too long for it to format. Should take about 2 minutes or so (roughly). I would definafely reboot and try it again. I had to reboot and the second time it successfully wiped and installed. You can also tell if aroma is frozen because a green light flashes across the progress bar. If that green light stops then it's frozen and you have to reboot and try again.

Well, I tried to be safe so I started at the top: made a back up in TWRP and tried to restore it.

Unfortunately, full restore was botched. I was able to restore system only and get my phone booted.

Now my root is gone and I am unable to boot in Bootloader. I was hoping to flash CWR and try to install this ROM to regain root.

Do I have a soft brick (no way back to Bootloader)?

I use a Mac and am not familiar with any of the Windows utilities.

UPDATE

Got into Bootloader, phone is still unlocked but also says "***TAMPERED*** Is that normal?

Trying to install CWR right now.

UPDATE 2

Success! Back in business - with root, thanks to UKB.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:

[HTC Droid DNA] madAdam6LOVE:
