[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
I was in the same boat as you mulling over the DNA or the ONE X+. After noticing the resale value was less for the better offering (DNA) I got it. Development is above average with 3 major builds having multiple offerings (Sense 4+, Sense 5 & AOSP/CM) Everything pretty much works in all roms except BT headset audio for cars in AOSP which I'm bummed about because I recently discovered my inner AOSP and would rather be running it than Sense but its a dealbreaker for me as I'm an audio enthusiast. If you do decide to upgrade another obvious choice is the ONE but it will be a bit pricier outright as it is still a new phone. The screen on it is smaller but it has boomsound speakers. The DNA has curved glass like the OX. it has a soft touch back which I prefer over the metal of the ONE.
[HTC Droid DNA] arpith.fbi:
thanks for replying..but so many ppl are selling droid dna on swappa..which got me worried..why many ppl leaving the device? at this pace it is even difficult to have android 4.3 running on dna :(
[HTC Droid DNA] Infinite Jest:
Possibly because the One is being released by Verizon within the next few months.
[HTC Droid DNA] rsims26:
The DNA will lose some developers to the One, but its safe to say it will keep a handful; at least through their 2 year contract. The development right now is pretty strong and I'm confident we will have a 4.3 and 5.0 port.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
People are selling because they are upgrading/planning on upgrading. The one is coming, a possible dna 2, and this Droid ultra that's being talked about.
[HTC Droid DNA] arpith.fbi:
Hmmm..so what do you say guys..should I go for droid dna or spend hell lot of money and buy HTC one? even xperia Z is also in my mind..I hate samsung phones..
[HTC Droid DNA] firespitta:
If u have patience you should wait for the butterfly s or for all the new phones that will be comming out with the snapdragon 800
[HTC Droid DNA] arpith.fbi:
I sold my phone today only..right now using Nokia old model..thats why running out of patience
[HTC Droid DNA] Mnorton1228:
Perosnally I think you're the only one who can make the decision you're looking for on some of the questions you've asked. The DNA is a phenomenal phone and it's still holding it's own with current phones. However, when the new snapdragon phones get released it will be much slower comparitively. Developement is fine and we have been getting many many ports from the HTC One so as long as that stays true then we should have no trouble getting updated versions of android. Also keep in mind that HTC has said that our phone will be getting updated to 4.2 and you can assume it will get one more update to 4.3. With the Developer Version of the One being released we can also speculate that we will benefit from that as well.

I would personally hold out unless you got a steal on a DNA. I was going to hold out but we took advantage of the free DNA's that verizon was giving out. Very happy with my decision but at this point you have the One coming to Verizon as well as the Butterfly S which may be the DNA 2.
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
If its a choice between phones available now I would go with the DNA over the ONE just because its kinda the same phone minus the boomsound, and I don't mean that spec for spec but generally speaking. If you wait there will always be better options but you have release dates to consider as well as contracts. DNA can be used on prepaid GSM so that's a plus for no contract people. Also you can always sell your current phone for a new phone that you aim to buy used. After selling my EVO LTE I only paid $150 for the DNA so its a smart way to always get the phone you desire for cheaper. I've never owned multiple superphones but maybe ill get an S4 unlocked when the price comes down a bit.
[HTC Droid DNA] deathrow1992:
The only thing I would buy the one for is zoe. I'm no professional photographer so the 8 megapixelcamera the DNA has is fine for me. Um other than and that it comes with stock sense5 the DNA and the one are similar. Honestly I would wait for the phone that's supposedly the one and the DNA combined, if anything
[HTC Droid DNA] amit_sen:
Get DNA. U wont regret it. Advise from a fellow indian :)

HTC ONE is priced highly and it has build issues.

As far as rom dev is concerned, DNA is best positioned among all htc phones if devs stay with it.

We have sense 4+ roms like viper, sense5 port, and whole host of aosp roms. Should be getting sense5 officially atleast as well.

Hell i have compiled 3 roms namely jellybeer, slimrom, baked :D

We have all major roms also. Chk orig. android section.

[HTC Droid DNA] JackDCalloway:
Hey guys, I still got the good ol' HD2 or should I say I got two working and one touchscreen defective HD2?

Is the Droid DNA a successor of the HD2?

I'm lovin' this old companion but I think it's time to move on.

What about the battery, is it detachable?

edit: Yeah, I see, it's not removable. What does this mean? How complex is it to remove the battery?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
You'd have to open the phone up, not super easy. Buy why would you want to get at the battery.
[HTC Droid DNA] JackDCalloway:
So the phone is that good, that there's ne reason to reboot it hard via removing the battery? Great.

Ummm one question, maybe because of my english comprehension: BT Headset Audio isn't working with CM10.1 JB4.2.2 So what's that meaning? I won't be able to use my BT Headset for calls? Any Chances for a fix or finding the cause of this?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
If you need to hard reboot you hold the power button for 10 seconds, just like every other device with a non removable battery.

And yes, your headset won't work fie now. There's a good chance it will be fixed eventually.
[HTC Droid DNA] JackDCalloway:
Ok, thank you for sharing informations. Good to know, looks like I'm gonna get myself a DNA Droid.

Looks like a HD2 successor for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] cstrife999:
Nothing like the HD2 really... That would be the Evo or Thunderbolt really... Plus didn't the HD2 run winmo?
[HTC Droid DNA] JackDCalloway:
That's why I'll try to fix my fellow HD2, but it's old, even the Thunderbolt and Evo are kinda old. I want to buy a new device, use it till it's exhausted like the HD2 (Old digitizer died, replaced it, now it's dead again, or the buttons are bad).

The HD2, WinMo6.5 from stock. The question is: Is there an OS the HD2 couldn't handle? But this discussion belongs somewhere else.
[HTC Droid DNA] madroamer:
So wat is the best price for the phone to buy from USA ? any infor
[HTC Droid DNA] amit_sen:
350 from swappa.
[HTC Droid DNA] madroamer:
350 looks too high as $ rates are high in india. how to take to india ?

swappa need paypal confirmed address
[HTC Droid DNA] cstrife999:
HTC one doesn't have build issues. Unless you mean its built well... I'd have to say in earnest its the best built phone I've ever held.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Yea, if anything the DNA has worse build quality because of the sim tray, the creaking, and blue splotches.
[HTC Droid DNA] cstrife999:
Don't have blue splotches or creaking but I prefer the aluminum feel. I liked the iPhone 4 built quality minus the glass. HTC one is just a step above that for me. Plus the speakers rock. Lol
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Eh mine has none of that, but like any device there are some crappy ones that never should have made it out the door :beer:

I think he referred to the case fitment issues it hit early on.

[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
If you got $ n patience wait for the butterfly2 (dlx+)
[HTC Droid DNA] arpith.fbi:
well i am short of both actually :p

still deciding which one to buy..butterfly s is btr than htc one and dna..but again...have to wait for few more weeks...
[HTC Droid DNA] arpith.fbi:
I am actually thinking of going for droid dna now...specs looks good..should be able to handle for another year easily..development looks decent..hopefully it will continue this way in the coming months..I can get used to 16gigs..screen is awesome..and camera is above average..and at this price(around $360 inc import to India) is a very decent price for such a gr8 specs phone :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Vfan23:
I traded a used iPhone 5 for a Galaxy Note 2 which was nice but too big for my hands and found some one with this DNA brand new, in a sealed box with a reciept and I traded him. This is an awesome phone and for me, battery has been great. Its beautiful and I find myself just looking at the build quality almost as much as I use it. Lol. I love it. Sure I WANT the GS4, but for now this is perfect.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bladecgn:
Hi,

I am using Des's utility to unmap the phone buttons prior to running morphgear, in order to be able the joybuttons. Is there a program to re-map the phone buttons afterwards?

Another question concerning morphgear: Is there a possibility/program to make diagonal moves with the hardware joybuttons?
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
This is based on the ROM joelZ9614 posted on June 27th.

It's deodexed and stripped of most Verizon apps and some HTC apps while keeping Sense.

This is different than the original release I had planned. This is close to the version I use since joelsZ9614's is coming.

This is PURE HTC stock. There's no themes, no EQS and little tweaks.

Xposed installer is included, use the MoDoCo ToolKit and other XPosed apps to make some of the usual mods.

Everything is working(?) but Zoe and Panoramic sweep.

This is VERIZON ONLY. It's been reported that MMS does not work with GSM.

Here's a few flashable additions: to the ROM:

HTC Music

HTC Calender

xLOUD

There's is now some tweaks included that I've tested but my init.d didn't make all the changes.

Recommend Trickster Mod Settings are:

Read Ahead Buffer Size: 384 (seems high but benchmarks the highest)

Deadline

fifo_batch: 8

front_merges: 1

read_expire: 30

write_expire: 250

writes_starved: 1

Conservative

down_threshold: 30

freq_step: 25

sampling_down_factor: 5

up_threshold: 60

Multicore Power Saving: 2

ALL thanks go to joelZ9614 for the ROM, crpalmer for the kernel, and zepplinrox for the supercharging.

*There's been some cleaning inside the ROM. A wipe is NOT necessary, but if coming from the first ROM I posted, but I'd recommend formatting /system.

*This version also has less apps stripped since people seem to like apps I don't use.

[HTC Droid DNA] shobon:
More vaporware for the DNA!
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
It's a stripped version of the ROM Joel posted last week.

I deodexed, and got it to flash. His is coming soon so I pulled the link. If he gives permission I'll gladly post

for people wanting to give it a go.

Verizon and a lot of HTC apps are removed while still keeping Sense.

Mirrors or hosting will be helpful before hand.
[HTC Droid DNA] nimrodsv:
Sounds great, will give it a test run :)
[HTC Droid DNA] rohitece06:
any screenshots?
[HTC Droid DNA] nimrodsv:
It's basically Sense 5 rom, nothing out of the ordinary, you can look at any other sense 5 rom's screen shot - it would be the same
[HTC Droid DNA] jbarcus81:
What about smoothness and responsiveness? I can't use newt's sense 5 rom because it makes my phone feel extremely clunky..
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
Apparently I can't post a link. Don't know if I could put images in.

But as nimrodsv said it's pure. No theming at all.

I had no problem with newtoroot's ROM being laggy.

But it's been running well for me without any kernel tweaking yet.
[HTC Droid DNA] rom116:
I had the same feelings until I used Beaups kernel. No issues now. Actually running very smooth and excellent battery life.
[HTC Droid DNA] Krispenwah:
I keep seeing posts where people say that the newt Rom is laggy. Ive been running it for about 2 weeks now and just flashed beaups kernal the other day but even before flashing that kernal I had zero issues with lag. In fact, I have not had a single issue at all since flashing this Rom. That's pre beaups kernal and post. Did I just get lucky somehow with a fluke flash that turned out to be beneficial? Am I the only person that has not experienced any lag?
[HTC Droid DNA] rohitece06:
did nybody try Xposed framework?
[HTC Droid DNA] Evilmonstertruck:
Every phone is different. My phone hates overlclocking. If I run my phone over 1600 it reboots. No matter what kernel it is. So, maybe it is laggy on his phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
Don't try the Tablet ui . Obviously Sense lacks a tablet ui and bad things happen.
[HTC Droid DNA] jbarcus81:
This is the truth.. We all have the same hardware.. but there could be very subtle differences in something that could cause some of us to lag and others not.. Ran into the same issues when I had my Incredible 2 .. I was flawless with every rom, 99% of the time.. others weren't.. Just the way she goes..
[HTC Droid DNA] [indiferenc]:
at production, the CPU of the phone was labeled based on processing tolerances. there is slow, nominal, fast, and faster. each one reacts differently to OC and UV ect
[HTC Droid DNA] curly9:
My mobile network is saying disconnected after setup I can't seem to get it on even tryed wiping and reflashing any suggestions?
[HTC Droid DNA] Krispenwah:
Maybe try toggling airplane mode on and the back off.
[HTC Droid DNA] curly9:
Tried that. Also full wipe and clean install and still nothing. Never had this issue before.
[HTC Droid DNA] jbarcus81:
I usually clock at 1.7GHz when I do in fact over clock..
[HTC Droid DNA] curly9:
I have noticed the cdma apn goes from vzwinternet to phone. Irk if that is effecting my internet on. I got it to turn on whole checking for update but doesnr actually work
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
Your APN is changing by itself?

I'm uploading to another site.

I'll be updating the OP with my kernel settings.

I'm getting some random lag but mostly bringing up Swype after sitting awhile.

My n00b settings has been good on newtoroot's ROM.
[HTC Droid DNA] curly9:
Ya I restore them and it goes back. But I believe its my phone not the Rom. I put I restored from a backup I had and same thing
[HTC Droid DNA] jbarcus81:
Something I've noticed... not sure if this is by design or what.. But apps that I use that require root are gaining root.. But I'm not being asked if I allow that.. That normal for this rom specifically??

Figured it out.. it was the SU application settings..
[HTC Droid DNA] curly9:
Found it. I put the apn manualy and worked
[HTC Droid DNA] -DroidIsDNA-:
Where is beaups kernel? Is there a thread on xda?

[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
OP updated with my kernel settings and a new link.

One thing I'm noticing is the minfree seems to be low. Swype is continuing to be killed.
[HTC Droid DNA] Daswolven:
Had the same problem with Swype on NOS
[HTC Droid DNA] jbarcus81:
Only issue I have is I use Faux Clock and when I open it sometimes I notice my settings are gone and it's no longer reporting ANY information.. I'll grab a screen shot of it when it happens again.. just weird..
[HTC Droid DNA] rohitece06:
Has anybody get new skype 4.0 installed on this?
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
Skype is showing as not compatible. Don't know if it worked before or if it's my playing with XPosed apps.

Quick research indicates all HTC phones kill apps of faster than AOSP.

I put together an init.d that should change the settings to the same as the Nexus 4 if anyone wants to try.

#!/system/bin/sh
# *****************************************
# Changes for minfree and kernel settings

I have my setting in govenor settings in a script as well but need to figure out how to change schedulers settings as well.
[HTC Droid DNA] crookx:
great rom, everything is working smooth. only problem i got is i cant send mms?
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
Just checked. It's working for me. Anyone else?
[HTC Droid DNA] crookx:
oops forgot to mention its not working for me on gsm
[HTC Droid DNA] chrisomnia1:
This is based of joelz rom? Couldn't find that. Can you tell me more? Is this a port?

thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
JoelZ9614 released a ROM on the 27th, it wouldn't flash and he pulled it.

I muddled my way into making it flash, and deodexed it, added crpalmer's kernel and asked for permissions.

JoelZ9614 is still relating the ROM so I released the stripped down version I personally use. End of story.

Soon as I figure how to create a patch I'll be releasing one.

Multitasking is smoother on mine.
[HTC Droid DNA] chrisomnia1:
Thank you sir.

Is there quick toggles on this?
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
No. It's as pure as the HTC snow.

Crookx, I'm not sure how to get gsm working.

I'm assuming you set your APN? I know how ornery and frustrating mms can be.

I'll label this Verizon only in the OP.
[HTC Droid DNA] crookx:
yup apn and everything is set. everything else is working great though, just cant seem to send mms. I guess its a gsm thing
[HTC Droid DNA] shobon:
Even after I installed Facebook and Twitter, I'm not able to add them to Blinkfeed. Is there a work-around for this?
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
whoops, nvm
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
mpdecision isn't starting, even on different kernels.

Removed the # from etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh and still have to start manually

hmm.

yep, init.d again. remove /system/etc/init.d/99crpalmer if you want to use another kernel.

edit: hmm, still not right. These types of implementations are annoying and unnecessary.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
Look at the script. It should only run if your kernel version contains my name....
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
Hopefully I'll have a "update" uploaded later.

I'm cleaning things up and trying new things, for me, that should make it more responsive.

I don't use Facebook so it was removed. It's left in this time around.

Twitter works fine for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Yep. But call to start mpdecision was also removed from post_boot. Got it added back, mpdecision runs now, but no more that one core will ever come online. Oh well.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
Do you realize that I have an alternative hot plug driver that is running when you are running my kernel? If you don't want to use the features of the kernel, just flash a new one?

Is there a problem that you are trying to solve?
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Yes, of course. The problem is after flashing back a kernel (such as mine) that relies on mpdecision, mpdecision will not start. And then, after fixing the butchered init script that kept it from being called, device only will use one core.
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
An "update" zip has been posted.

There's been some cleaning up inside the ROM so I'd suggest wiping /system.

I still recommend the tweaks in the OP but it's running well without. I always call BS on people that say "let it settle" but let it settle.

When testing changes it took a awhile before multitasking really got responsive.

There's also less apps removed this time around, including Facebook. I hear people like it.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
I don't see where you are having a problem. Here's what my kernel changes / controls:

1. init.d script that only runs if the kernel version contains crpalmer

2. ramdisk built into the kernel that would be overwritten when you flash your kernel (I just downloaded your kernel source and the build scripts that you are using will definitely overwrite this ramdisk)

So where is the problem? I can't see the version number of your kernel from your source (you forgot to include beaups-build-config) but I assume that you wouldn't put "crpalmer" in it and therefore 1) can't possibly affect you. Number 2 doesn't either because you overwrite it. Therefore, I see nothing I can be doing that would be hard for your kernel.

If you think that there is something my kernel is doing that makes it hard for another kernel to be flashed, can you please explain in (at least) this level of precision what is causing you problems? I certainly can't see it yet after several rounds of comments.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Sorry, I wasn't (intentionally) implying it was a kernel problem. Perhaps a ROM problem? Let's start here:

[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
The original release is a hacked together hot mess.

Last night's release cleaned up all the unnecessary bits.

I figured out what really kept the original ROM from flashing and fixed them instead of just beating stuff together. Most of the init.d stuff is gone.

That script was included in the original ROM. Apparently it's from Code Aurora Forums. If it has been an issue before it will continue to be.

Ooh! Super Why is on!
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
Ah, okay, that's not my script. I was surprised you were having problems with my scripts as I tried to be careful to make them as safe as possible...
