I'm constantly around juice whether at home, work, or school so it's hard to gauge for me. I had some GSam shots to post last night, but testing something other than Viper really broke my phone and I had to RUU. To me, battery life feels the same. The major difference I've noticed is the 2.04 radios. I'm getting one and two bars of 4g now at school where it used to hand off to 3G. I'd say overall performance of the device remains the same without taking any benchmarks (because I think those things are so error-laden on phones to produce any viable results. You can run the same test 3x in a row on the same phone and come up with results way outside the margin of error; nevermind comparing two of the same phones and then phone to phone.

[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
Before you get banned for asking the unaskable question, I'll see if I can answer your question on permissions (even though it probably belongs in the Q&A section :) )

In the Android (Linux) file system, each file has a set of permissions, that relates to which users can execute, read, or write to the file (there are 3 kinds of users - owner, root, and group). When files get copied (such as flashing a rom, where the file is extracted from the .zip file and copied to the appropriate directory on the phone), they are supposed to retain their permissions, however that can get messed up. If a file has the wrong permissions, when the o/s tries to execute or read that file, it will fail, causing problems (even if they don't manifest until later)

Can you ask Newtoroot what he did on his NOS 2.04 ROM to make it work with old kernels? If he's willing to share it could be great for this ROM too.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
im pretty sure its a few fw files swapped in (havent looked) but that was my assumption based on the issues people have using 1.15 kernels with 2.04 roms w/ screen flicker/animations....i had considered looking into it when i first moved to 2.04, but decided id rather keep kernels and rom in line w/ oneanother (to each his own on preference, thats mine)

i see. yeah, i know nothing about governors and those kernel settings so i just leave that as is. maybe thats why lol

I honestly don't know, but I'm like nit and I don't like having mismatches of software versions if I can avoid it unless there's a known benefit to having a mismatch. I flashed the 2.04 radios ASAP because the patch notes said they improved connectivity to hotspots, bluetooth, and Wi-Fi; all of which are radio issues. I flashed the ENG HBOOT not only to mess with my splash screen and edit my hboot, but to keep the firmware version the same as my radios.

Aloha Doc and Nits,

I'm S-off and unlocked since early January. I would like your opinion if it's good to relock update and unlock. What are the benefits and draw backs? If I update will it also effect the downloads of any 1.15 Roms?

Mahalo for your reply Andrew...but it still leaves me to question what effect and results. I have seen the hboot and radios are available, but if the ota is around 100 mb what other improvements would I been missing?

Mahalo
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Re: [ROM](2.15.13) Team Venom Presents ViperDNA 1.1.3 l Tweaks l OTA l EQS l Venom HU

Quite a few things, but you would have to use a rom which is based on 2.04 in order to keep the improvements. And at this time viper is not on 2.04(although it will be soon)
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
I agree with Andrew on this one. There's no reason to use the OTA to update now that you're s-off. Viper 1.2 is close to release and you'll soon have a matching 2.04 ROM to go with the firmware.

Benefits: As posted above, the radios are noted to have a few fixes in them. There's no release notes on the hboot. The hboot is basically like a Windows BIOS. Most manufacturers recommend you don't flash a new BIOS unless you're having an issue fixed or need a new feature added in the new version. We are blindly flashing, but it doesn't seem to do any harm.

Drawback: Being s-off means you can do pretty much anything with your phone and you can fix it. You can use the 2.04 radios and hboot with any 1.15 ROM, but the current custom kernels (Cubed, cpalmer, Beastmode) are incompatible with 2.04 ROMs.

[HTC Droid DNA] devilsaces:
From my understanding the OTA update is mainly a radio (baseband) update. (version 1.00.00.1023_3 to 1.01.01.0110). The hboot version (version 1.33.0001 from the 1.15 firmware) has not changed in the OTA. (I know ENG Hboot is 1.39.2000).

I know firmware is typically synonymous with the Android OS, currently at 4.1.1, but it is also used to reference the HTC Build # (1.15.605.4 710RD or the newer 2.04.605.2 710RD) - not to be confused with software #

It's a custom configurable sense 4 HTC clock and weather widget built to work on 3rd party launchers on the rezound by zhp pilot. It might could be adapted to work on the DNA.

Stay thirsty, my friends
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Radios are firmware which is a driver to run hardware stored in a separate, faster memory area than the ROM. They are completely independent of each other. You can switch radios as you see fit.

The ENG HBOOT unlocks features of the hboot not normally usable. It is based off the 2.04 hboot, so it's basically the same with a few edits to allow changing of the text in hboot, splash screens, dev warning, etc...

I'm probably not the one to ask because I don't o/c. I did like S2W, but it's not a huge inconvenience to hit the power button. I used the stock system writable kernel for the longest time until Cubed 3.1.3 came out. It was very stable and I could have S2W. I never oc'd with Cubed, so I will base my assessment on the stock writable kernel. Compared to that, the stock 2.04 is very much the same. The system runs smooth and the battery does well even during my heavy usage times (commuting to and from work/school.)

Firmware would be the radio and modem firmware and it should all be inside the radio.zip that you use to update your radios.

I guess you might could include the stock hboot and recovery as what's included with a firmware update but since we run custom recovery there's no need to overwrite it just to reoverwrite it.

coming from da rezound, we had two firmwares, GB and ICS. we could flash the GB firmware and still use ICS radios and ROMs, just flashing an extra patch.

[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Go into Settings\About\Software Information\More- If build number says 1.15xxx, then yes. If it says 2.04xxx, then no.

Yes. The stock 2.04 hboot will overwrite the eng hboot when flashed. No, you will not have all, but you will have the important parts....more later...

What is firmware?

The newest firmware package was included in the 2.04 OTAPkg.zip:

As you can see, firmware is completely separate from the ROM update and included in its own .zip. This visually lets you know they are completely independent of one another. If s-off, you can flash whatever parts you want and dismiss the rest.

Inside the firmware.zip you can see...:

multiple files including a new hboot, radios, and recovery. As Charlie said before, it's completely useless to flash the stock 2.04 recovery only to flash a custom recovery over the top. The hboot is, as I stated above, like the BIOS of a Windows PC. If HTC found it important to update, I might as well flash it. Probably some fixes in there. The radios have several fixes noted in the patch notes and should be flashed. As for the rest, I honestly don't know what the files are for, but far better Android people on this board haven't made any flashable .zips so they can't be that important. Making the flashable .zip is easy and has been done for the two important ones by .torrented
[HTC Droid DNA] -4ndr01d-:
I thought I was somewhat right. and flashing the 2.04HBOOT can be done from the ENG HBOOT?
