It took me awhile to realize that you can't "power off" the DNA in lock screen mode.

You first have to unlock the screen before you can power it off.

The Devs know why.

I have no clue.
[HTC Droid DNA] Tag798:
It'll turn off... Just hold the button down longer
[HTC Droid DNA] Ajj915:
Thanks for these tips. Keep em coming. I had a weird thing happen. Somehow my phone crashed. The camera wouldn't open and I held power to do a reboot, the screen went black and wouldn't power back on. And since a battery pull obviously isn't an option I freaked out. So I held power down for a while...the capacitive buttons started to flash and after a while my phone rebooted. No idea why. Force reboot maybe?
[HTC Droid DNA] ngrneer:
Screenshot power + vdown

I have recently started using the power and volume down method instead of the alternative. Apparently you have to hold them down for a short while or it will not work. It becomes more obvious when you have a case. When I release right away I always seem to fail but if I hold them for like a second it works.

I like this method better for two reasons.

It's way easier for me to do

It makes a separate album as previously mentioned.

I am have a HTC One XL with a Sense Jelly Bean ROM so I do not know if that's the reason why mine works. But I suspect its because you aren't holding it quite long enough. Hope this helps.

As long as you hit both the power button and the vol - button at excatly the same time it will snap the picture

Pinch Notifications

You can pinch to zoom in/zoom out of notifications in your status bar. For example, if you receive a long text message, email, or your music is playing, you can zoom it out to see more info. Like the Google Play music app only gives you pause, next, and close, but zoom out and you get larger album artwork, more song info, and the ability to go to the previous song. You can then pinch it back to go back to the smaller size.

Exact same scenario happened to me from the camera.
[HTC Droid DNA] SwordOfWar:
How do you get this to work? I pulled down my notification bar and tried to pinch/zoom but nothing happens. I'd like this for the simple fact that those notification ads love to put the opt-out instructions at the end of the message so you can't even read it.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Wither pinch out in the notification, or simply drag down with 2 fingers in the notification.

And what are notification ads?
[HTC Droid DNA] SwordOfWar:
Not sure what you mean by wither pinch out? I tried dragging 2 fingers down from the top of the screen but the statusbar notification panel doesn't pull out this way. It only comes down if I use one finger.

And notification ads are notifications in the statusbar that advertise something rather than being something useful. I've seen several ad-supported apps do this. They usually have instructions on how to opt-out of the ad in the notification's description but it gets cut off before you can read it, and simply clicking the notification will just bring up the ad page in a browser and clear the notification.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Pull the notification bar down. Put 2 fingers on a notification and pull down.

Or

This needs to be confirmed but when you look at recent apps. If you slide up on a recent app it clears it and I would like to think it force close it as well. I'm not hundred percent sure on the force close.

It doesn't force close

I know the WiFi symbol was annoying a lot of people and you can remove that in the WiFi menu. Sadly, you have to flash a mod to remove it from the pull-down.
[HTC Droid DNA] bigjew92:
if you hold down on the notification, press app info, and force stop the setting it comes up with, it will go away until A) you reboot or B) you turn wifi on, then off.

It does unload the app from RAM. And the app will have to reload on the next instance. It does not kill any services associated with the app. I have had to use this several times with Chrome when it only displays black in the web page area.

I downloaded that from Amazon when it was the free app of the day. It will load, but the app screen is not adjusted to our pixel density properly. The layout doesn't display properly on the main screen and as soon as you start a game, you just fall off...

Does anyone know if it's possible to set up multiple home screen profiles? I could do it on my Droid X, but can't figure out if it's possible on the DNA. In case you don't understand what I'm asking..........on my X I could set up multiple "home" profiles so that when I was home, I could select "home" and all of my settings would switch to a predetermined set (full volume, certain ringtone, certain wallpaper, etc.). Then, when at work, I could quickly switch to "work" and all of the settings would switch to those predetermined settings without having to go through and change each one individually (volume minimal, different ringtone, different wallpaper, etc).

As the title says, what's the best rom for the MT4GS? I've been playing around with a lot of roms, but don't seem to really like them. The fact that most roms are all over the place instead of a list also makes it hard to know how many roms there are for the phone.

Anyways, in your opinion, what's the best rom for this phone and why?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] davidf9:
Go look in Weekends posts - he's got a huge list of ROMs,sorted by developer, with download links. Also other posts with lots of other useful stuff. As for my preference, I've been running CM9.1 r8 for a couple of months now and it's been fast, reliable with good battery life. Just trying Kornyone's Dec 22 CM10 over the Christmas break. Going well so far!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
That is a very subjective thing. What is best for one person may not have features or stability in areas that another person requires. For me, to have everything on the phone work as it is supposed to work, with no weirdness or arcane voodoo incantations necessary to perform a task, requires a stock-based ROM. To date, no ROM other than a stock-based ROM can get everything on the phone to work as it was designed. Some come very close, but there are always little quibbles (the main one being the camera functions). I run Miktouch 0.7, which is based on the last HTC ROM, 1.63.531.2.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
Hence the thread title starts with the word "OPINION."

Anyway, I'm definitely a cm10 fan now. Its very stable given the condition this phone was left to us by HTC and its more than I ever hoped for. AOKP JB is also quite solid, but for some reason the notification toggles are just so blah as compared to CM toggles (even in the ICS builds of both ROMs) that I can't get myself to use that rom actively. I thought since AOKP has more tweaks I'd like it but I found that it is unnecessary for me personally.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
The new alpha 3 CM10 is definitely the best AOSP rom I've encountered so far for quite some time now. Very few things left that are broken, and I wouldn't consider any of them to be deal breakers. Battery life is very good too, and my God JB is smooth. I didn't think the difference would be so drastic between ICS and JB, but it is. You'll notice it through any transitions and apps opening and closing. It's not as zippy as ICS though. I'd say about 80-90% as fast.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Now that someone figured out the solution to the FC'ing Gallery, I'm now running the Bliss ICS 3.32 ROM from sun_dream. It is a Sense 3.6 ICS ROM that is very smooth, fast, and has excellent battery life as well as killer audio (using Beats and XLoud). From my experience, battery usage is nearly as good as the Miktouch ROM and way better than the CM ROMs. When I was originally using this, the gallery would constantly FC. I just couldn't deal with that. But that has been solved so now giving it another go.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Tomb77:
I am not familiar with the 4g slide ROMS. My wife has an unrooted one that I would like to root. it has quirky issues that I would hope to get rid of and most of all gain better battery life. I noticed that there are camera issues. I don't totally understand what the 1080 video issue is but would like a functioning camera and video camera. Basically I am looking to be pointed at the more functional roms out there that will give her better than stock battery life. I have found virtuous being very good in the past and wonder if inquisition is a good bet. Any input would be great. thank you
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
If battery life is your primary goal, and fully-functional next, then Miktouch 0.7 is what you seek. Alternately, the Bliss 3.32 ICS ROM would work, as well, though it does not do 1080P video recording. 720P works, though. The only ROMs doing 1080P video recording are stock-based like Miktouch. I'm really enjoying this Bliss ROM since it is ICS with Sense 3.6. Very smooth.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
MikMik ROMs were always the most stable, in my opinion.

For ICS, Virtuous was nice enough and I heard that Bliss was just a better Virtuous, but JB ROMs, in particular, JellyBAM has been even better than any ICS ROM I've run on this device...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Tomb77:
Thanks Fuzi, I figured that from your other posts. And thank you rory for your insight on Bliss.

I rooted and s-off her phone last night and flashed JellyBAM. Wire trick was fun, never had to do that before. I will see how this does with apex launcher and maybe try two of the others you guys suggested, over the weekend. Thanks again for the insight.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I love the look and smoothness of the JB ROMs, but the keyboard issues and other little quirks keep me from running them full-time.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] GoPadge:
Have you tried JellyBAM? I was having issues with the keyboard in PACman v17 and v18.

But so far (about 18 hours now) I'm very happy with the latest JB rom.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
What quirks?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
You ask that seriously? Are you really trying to say there are no issues with the JB ROMs? :eek:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
It's possible. I just might not have come across them yet. The only problems I've experienced are the virtual keyboard popping up when I click again in a text box (easily solved with the back buttons) and the FCing when attempting to add funny effects to video in Camera JB+. I've heard a bit about the keyboard CAPS and ALT lights, but those are pointless anyway. Everything else I've done has been smooth as butter. What else is there?

Edit: I guess the 1080 camera could be one too, but I'm over that and coming from months on ICS.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Oh, things like virtual keyboards not working except in native apps, qwerty keyboard keys not working, LEDs not working, wifi not stable, camera FC'ing, camera button not working, battery life is terrible... Nothing major, really. LOL :laugh:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
Oh I didn't notice the first one, mine has been great. My www and com buttons don't work, but never used those so I didn't really notice (these weren't working on ICS). My notification light works, wifi fine, camera fine (except issue I mentioned above), battery life is unnoticeable. I assume you reflashed, right?

How does the best that apple has to offer (4,4s,5 whatever) compare to our Nexus 4 in terms of screen on time.

Also the iPhone 5 does have a 4 inch screen, dual core and 1gb ram so I'd expect it to last longer as well as not be a contender with the N4 in performance. Sims 3 on the N4 is unbelievable.

Wow I just did a search on Note II average battery life and am seeing many screen shots with 8 hours! If it weren't for the facts that I don't want to carry a tablet in my pocket everyday and my N4 (and Gnex before it) never once has come close to running out of battery before coming home at night, I may consider the Note 3 or current phablet as my next phone in a few years.

If you check the Anandtech Nexus 4 review (I can't post a link as I'm a new user) it compares the the 4, 4S and 5 to the Nexus 4 in browsing tests. For all devices screen brightness was set to 200 nits however the nexus is stock. In short you'll get about twice as much browsing time out of an iPhone 5 as you will from a stock Nexus 4 on mobile data. On wifi you'll get about 1.6 times. Although it's not a "screen-on" test it's a good gauge of battery life.
