[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
thought id give a progress update since ive gotten too many pm's asking "will xyz feature be in the new update" and "can i please beta test????!?!?"

updated to official verizon sense 5 / 4.2.2 ota 3.06.605.4

stock kernel

developer options and app associations added back to settings

htc powermanager added back

added back other missing htc stuff (task manager, etc)

new tweaks/things in 2.5.x

recent key longpress mapping

additional stock quicksetting tiles

user tile available as quick setting on htc vertical quick settings

custom aosp lockscreen shortcuts (can map up to 4 just like on sense lockscreen)

custom gesture in statusbar pulldown area to launch actions/apps

toggle for 4x1 clockwidget transparency (also removes weather background on 4x2 clock)

tweak to switch black and white weather icons on lockscreen/app drawer/4x1 clock to sense4+ color versions

change ratio of news/social media/local media/ in blinkfeed (useful so facebook doesnt overwhelm your feed)

change from 1-99 feed pages in blinkfeed

custom auto sync interval for blinkfeed from 5 mins to 12 hours

animated statusbar pulldown and app drawer support from viperdna 1.3.x (tab will be restored to venom hub to download them)

definitely removed tweaks/mods from 2.5.x

double press button mapping

home swipe button mapping

things that *might* be in update depending on time and/or amount of effort we put in prior to the first release

homescreen expanded layout (4x5 homescreen)

button press delay tweak (from viperdna 1.x.x)

venom navbar and underlay packs (will take some work to get going with m0narx based tweaks)

venom pie

xposed installer/tab in tweaks - a bit redundant but its in tweaks source...so yeah

things that still need to be done/fixed before release/testing

cdma theming/gps icon hiding stuff/lte toggle (vin does that)

fix venom ota (vin does that)

venom soundenhancer (vin does that....get the pattern :P )

update aroma app removal options to the base apps from verizon ota

Q: Will I need to update to the official firmware from the ota to run the rom?

A: No, I am not running the updated firwmare. However some reports indicate to fix issues with vvm and/or some 3rd party video/audio issues you do. So up to you really.

Q: Can I beta test?

A: If/when we need testers I will ask for them. While I appreciate the offers to test, its really just white noise until we need them.

Q: What happened to venomroms?

A: We shut down the forum as it outlived its usefulness. Please visit our official google + community instead.

Q: When will ViperDNA be updated to Sense 5.5 Android 4.3/4.4?

A: That is a ways off. Vin and I have stated we have no desire to do the work to port international htc one roms (or vzw or sprint for that matter) to the DNA, as we barely have time to work on tweaks and other rom related stuff. If joelz or someone provides a stable base (like he did for 4.2.2) than we will consider it. Otherwise, it might or might not be until we get the mystical "by the end of quarter1" 4.4 update from htc/verizon.

so rom is around 70-75% done....i dont have an updated timeframe for release....other than id like to see it out the first week of january, but i wont compromise quality for a quick release that immediately needs 3 ota's to fix huge bugs. hope this helps
