Conservative can be tuned to perform quite well. I use on demand mostly though because I get plenty good battery life with it. I don't use autobrightness. If I'm in conditions that require a lot of adjusting I will use the display brightness widget by the developer RubberBigPepper. With my use, bumping the minimum down to 192 makes a big difference in battery life. I remove a lot of the location apps with titanium backup, and I uninstall maps, if I need it I can always install the apk. Also I go to accounts and sync and turn off the things auto syncing that I don't need. I flash a lot and my setup is kind of an involuntary reflex, so I'm sure there's a few other things I'll think of and add to this. I give out my setup rather than specific instructions because I know we all use our phones differently, so my main goal is to jump start the thinking process or maybe a new idea.

Was self debating trying this rom out again... Saw the download count.. 1700+ people/downloads can't be wrong right?? Plus newt has an update possibly in the works I think I saw him post?? Loving AOSP .. diving back in!!

crpalmer has kernels that works with AOSP 4.2.2 and sense. Can that be leveraged?
[HTC Droid DNA] nimrodsv:
No. Aosp != Sense.

Rename /system/etc/hosts to hosts.old or something and reboot
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Just use an app like root explorer or es file explorer and browse to /etc directory. Or system/etc its the same folder just a symlink shortcut to the first one.

Delete the "hosts" file from that directory and reboot.

That is awesome!! Thanks man I highly appreciate it. Totally should fix the troggles to the ones from Hatki Sense 5.0 Rom!! :)
[HTC Droid DNA] abhi897:
I am on 1.15 base S off. I have a Verizon DNA but using it with at&t. So the instructions tell to flash a patch to use on at&t! I cannot find the patch. Where is it? Also to use the VERIZON DNA on at&t am I supposed to flash the NOS_M7_v2.0.3_VZW.zip ?:confused:
[HTC Droid DNA] Majik Mushroomz:
The DNA was only released by Verizon. If you run it on ATT or T-Mo, you need the GSM version of the ROM. The VZW ROM will only work on Big Red's network.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Just flash the ATT version of the rom and you're good to go. There used to be a patch but Newt made you guys your own rom with this last version.
[HTC Droid DNA] abhi897:
Ok thanx. Also is this rom using the 2.06 base. If no, which kernel should I flash? I am on stock 1.15 kernel right now.

---------- Post added at 03:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------

And the boot.img? Does it flash automatically while flashing the rom? I am on 1.15 stock kernel right now. S-OFF
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Make a nandroid backup, but you should be just fine to just flash the Rom and the built in kernel will automatically be installed since you're s off
[HTC Droid DNA] [indiferenc]:
First of all, it hasn't even been two months since an update, so, a bit of patience might be in order. From what it looks like, newt has plenty of other, real priorities besides Rom updates on the most popular sense 5 Rom for the DNA. Also, if I get some lag every couple days, I clear cache and reboot, and everything is back to normal

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

Please? I've been looking for this and transparent app drawer!
[HTC Droid DNA] spongers:
Then quit asking newt for an update and fix it yourself. Or better yet, switch to hatka and stay there. Sheesh, stop complaining that someone who does this for free isn't updating quickly enough. Be grateful you even have a ROM to install on your phone.

[HTC Droid DNA] GTabJosh:
Mine is smooth as silk. No lag, no stuttering. I'm using the Beastmode kernel, no forced GPU rendering and conservative settings on Lionheart. I did get a bit of lag before switching kernels. For example, there would be a split-second delay when scrolling through the apps drawer -- but only on the first page. No more since I switched kernels.
[HTC Droid DNA] Infinite Jest:
I may give BM a shot. I've tried switching to crpalmers a few times but I keep switching back to stock.
[HTC Droid DNA] RyanTX:
I am new to flashing on the DNA and I see that you don't have to flash a separate GAPPS. Do the included GAPPS restore apps (redownload all the ones I had before wiping) like the GAPPS for 4.2.2 ROMs? ( I come from a Galaxy Nexus )
[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
If you flash a "sense" based rom, such as the one from Newt in this thread, then you don't need GAPPS. In fact the many of the "google apps" are replaced by Sense (calendar, people/contacts, etc). The Play Store framework is already included in the Sense Roms. This is one of the reasons why the Sense based roms are ~900mb in size.

If you flash a "AOSP" based rom to the DNA, you WILL (generally) need to flash GAPPS, just as you would have on the Galaxy Nexus.
[HTC Droid DNA] jaymazz13:
I've ran bench mark test on all the sense 5 roms and I know this really don't mean much but this Rom comes back with much lower scores then the rest, will a new kernel help much or what else may be the reason?
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
I've noticed that myself. I've tried stock crpalmer and BeastMode and they're all similar in my testing.

BUT this is the only ROM that's NOT themed besides Hatka where MMS doesn't work on Verizon.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
I've tested the snot out of it. None of these roms respond well to the mainstream benchmark apps in my opinion, but NOS performs quite well especially once I thin out the system apps a good bit and eliminate things running in the background that I don't need.

I don't think you'll get it to benchmark score anywhere near where it really performs, the other kernels do help performance a good bit though, but I would test them longterm with real world use rather than relying on benchmarks. I reccomend at least three days on a kernel and some charge cycles before final evaluation of how it works for your use.

[HTC Droid DNA] jaymazz13:
Yea I know u have to give each Rom some time to work things out but I just switched to the DNA from the nexus and I'm just trying everything out to see what will be my daily driver and I won't just go off just benchmark scores, I try to look for devs that just don't put a Rom out and forget about it so that's what brings me back to this, because it has quite the following although hatka performed for me quite well but I am hoping to see some new stuff soon I guess I got a little spoiled with the nexus development

If I flash this Rom will it restore my apps automatically or will I need to so it all manually on the market?

If this updates to 4.2.2 and uses the Bluetooth from 4.2.2 I wouldn't flash it. For whatever reason the Bluetooth is horrendous.

I'm gonna try this Rom out though and see how it goes.

Real Icon Theme

I tried to flash the Real Icon Theme with this mod and got lots of screen flickering and blackouts (screen going black for a half second and then coming back). Was working fine until I flashed that theme. I think I was using the cpalmer kernel at the time, but the rom was running fine with it. Strange. Went back to Viper rom for now. Good rom in general though, no major issues. Seemed a little choppy. Really looking forward to the 4.2.2 Is that going to come with sense 5.1 or is that still not a for sure thing?

[HTC Droid DNA] Infinite Jest:
I gave Beast mode kernel an installation tonight and got a noticeable UI performance bump. There is still the occasional hiccup, but overall my UI is much more fluid and consistent in NOS using this kernel over stock and crpalmer's kernel. It will be interesting to see if the performance stays at this level.
[HTC Droid DNA] kendall316:
Wow, again there was no complaining. It was a simple question asking if he had plans to. Wasnt asking for an eta or anything. I am grateful and love how Newt got everything working for this rom. Stutter is just something I noticed that I didnt notice in Hatkas, but would much rather have everything working 100%, so again was simply asking if he had plans to make any updates to the rom because it has been a while or if he has just moved on to other projects.
[HTC Droid DNA] KOAO:
Concern, actually two. First is that I cannot for the life of me remove quick settings in the notification. I have tried pressing the date and rebooting but nothing happens. Also the volume wake is a nuisance and I cannot flash the zip because it aborts the installation. Any ideas?
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Have you tried long pressing the date or clock? It should go away instantly when you press it or long press it. Somebody else will chime in though that's used the Rom more recently than I have. I'm using another sense 5 Rom and may be giving bad advice.

I firmly believe the general public is largely too dumb to right reviews and comments in the play store. Make 'em pass a test first

I tried flashing this today after I came from the carbon, non-sense rom. I noticed it didn't have the play store or any other google apps so i flashed gapps but for me they are not working. How can I go about getting this rom off the ground? Thanks! (sorry i'm still pretty new to this)

Before flashing I did the usual recovery stuff (cache, data, etc.)

This literally just happened to me today when I came back from CM10.1 - just flash it once, boot into it and get it set up, and then if you don't have gapps then flash it on top of itself with no wipes and reboot and you should be alright.
[HTC Droid DNA] lacrosse1991:
Hello, I am confused in terms of the kernel, is Beastmode on here already? Or is that just a recommendation in the description? http://i.imgur.com/2Nxu5fk.png Also now that we're speaking of kernels, which do you guys prefer? I've only tried beastmode so far as it seems to be the most popular, thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] [TSON]:
It includes an older version of Beastmode.
[HTC Droid DNA] tehknics:
I had the latest beastmode loaded up and for some reason my WiFi was super duper slow if not non-existent. It was really strange. I switched to cpalmers to verify and all is well. Possibly overlooking something?
[HTC Droid DNA] lacrosse1991:
Ok thanks, is there any reason why the older version is used? (something wrong with the newer one possibly) or have people just been flashing the newest one on?

real icon theme

Asked over in the original thread but I don't know if it's being monitored. I've tried to install the real icon theme a few times and it causes my system ui to fail. Any ideas? Had anyone gotten this working? Tried with cpalmets kernel and latest beastmode 5.9
[HTC Droid DNA] kendall316:
This happens if you have flashed the sense 5 recents mod. If you leave the sense 4 recents or use the aosp ones they will go away just by tapping the clock

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

Nos has not come with beatmode for quite a few versions now. He has not updated that is op. But you can see it in the changelog. It comes with the stock kernel now as it was the most stable

How's battery life on this ROM? And in call/speaker audio? I'm on CM10 and battery is so so. About 5+ hours of screen time and almost a full day. I guess that's pretty good huh? Lol.

you should use some logic. when I posted here, it was in General. that's why I reported it, and a moderator moved it to the right place. and why should I be reported again?
[HTC Droid DNA] rayjr13:
I added the majority of the icon pack by grabbing the icons i wanted from the zip to dropping them into the respective apk's pulled from my phone using winrar, then pushed them back.

I'm wary of people's mods because the tinkering never seems to get updated as often as the mods to the file they originally used. The icons are there and the apks are there. You can push all the ones that work without breaking something then manually add icons for the few that don't. Once you've done it you can nandroid and have your own backup. Or if you feel friendly, you could share the apks from the updated as a new pack...with permission of course.

Wow are you one of those people who paid for Winrar? I've never met one before.

DROID DNA NOS M7 On tmobile.. Patch?

Where is this patch and what is it?

Or should I just flash the GSM version alone instead of global version?

[HTC Droid DNA] [indiferenc]:
i believe the "patch" is already included in the rom. i know thats true for the VZW but im not sure about the GSM. i would assume so
[HTC Droid DNA] abesgs2:
Alright thanks!! im also assuming flashing the GSM rather than the TMobile att version should be fine on my tmobile service? its GSM after all right? haha

[HTC Droid DNA] rom116:
I'd love to know how to do this. Where is the actual icon file located within the apk? Then once I've replaced it, would I flash the entire rom or could I just drop it in using an app like Root Explorere?
[HTC Droid DNA] rayjr13:
who pays for winrar :confused:

You just press no thank you and keep going.for free

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

Unfortunately location depends on the app and how it is was written or modded, but icons in one of the /res/drawable"xxxxx" folders. Good thing with modded apks is you spot the new icons when using your file browser's icon view to know when you found the set of icons that the phone is using for your resolution.

May be off topic a bit so feel free to PM if you need more clarification:

I use adb pull to grab the apk from my phone's /system. And when I'm done manipulating the apk I adb push it back since these are mostly system apks. If you store them on your phone you can always push back the original version if you screw something up.

extracting the icon pack folder makes it easier to find the icon you wants for a particular app. Drag n drop the icon into the pulled apk using winrar to the same folder location where you found them in the icon pack location. Make sure you use the "store" function and not any of the compression levels. Also add and replace as the operation.

These leave the apk unchanged except for swapping in the icon(s) for that apk.

What sux is the icon pack has a lot of modded apks and changing the apks one by one is tedious.

What I was saying last was that if you keep a copy of all the apk that you modded and pushed back to your phone, you could put an "icon pack together" yourself if you search how to create a flashable zip in recovery containing all your modded apks. But it's rude to

change and post

4.2.2 Update

Posting this here because I don't have enough posts to post in the dev section. I just installed the VZW version of the brand new rom. Everything was working fine even data until I started installing all my apps. Most likely it was due to heat as that seems the normal cause named in the Alpha build, but suddenly restarted and went into a bootloop. Every once in a while it would boot all the way up but the freeze and restart again.

I can also confirm the messages about Google Location and Google Play service has stopped. But seems to disappear after you hit ok a few times.

Voicemail

I'm running Newts latest, 3.0.1 and just realized today that I am not getting standard voicemail notifications and I do not have an app for it. The only way to get my voicemails is to call myself. What am I missing? This is the first time its happened after flashing anyone's ROM's.

Sorry if this is a noob question. I did a quick search and only found problems with VVM.
