[HTC Droid DNA] Bujjet:
I'm needing help/looking for recommendations for a new DNA ROM. I usually have the worst luck in choosing ROMs so I thought to ask the community which one(s) that are available at this time that you use and would recommend.

A month or two ago I switched from a 4.2.2 rom to Blackout's "HTC One *STOCK* ROM Port | 4.19.401.8 | 4.4.2 | HTC Sense 5.5" ROM. Although I loved the new features and their work (very much at that, thank you all!).. but with the ROM itself I found the battery life to be pretty bad, especially compared to my previous 4.2.2 ROM and Blackout's also doesn't always connect well to some WiFi hotspots. My old 4.2.2 rom was really great on battery, was fast, stable and connected well to all WiFi connections.

Basically I'm yearning for a newer DNA ROM, maybe KitKat, doesn't have to be though...

My

absolute must haves

are below:

Very Stable

- If it's not stable all the time I'd rather pass for a different ROM. It has to almost never crash with normal usage for it to be a daily for me.

Great Battery Life

- A ROM with great battery life. Since the DNA as it is has bad battery life to begin with a battery efficient ROM would be a must.

Fast

- I'd like it to be fast in transitions and loading software as best as possible - I'll trade in many cases newer features for speed almost any day.

No Bugs For Common Tasks

- WiFi, Bluetooth, Speaker, etc - it all should work as expected and flawlessly.

Nice to haves list

, but

not necessary

, are below:

Latest Android/KitKat

- Would be nice to have KitKat, 4.4 but doesn't have to be.

Latest Sense/5.5

- I don't use Sense a whole lot but wouldn't mind the latest.

Improved Camera

- again would be nice but not needed.

So basically... any recommendations for a new DNA ROM(s) would be _greatly_ appreciated. I can spend days trying out ROMs with little to show for it and would love to hear your thoughts/recommendations. Even if it's not the latest, if it's a solid, stable fast and super reliable ROM with great battery life please share I'd love to hear it.

Thanks!! :)

Try ViperDNA. Current version is 3.1.0 (4.4 KK based off the Sense 5.5 from HTC One). It is as stable as it gets for KK, all KK roms have VOIP issues, so if you need that, stick to 4.2.2 which ViperDNA 2.5.2 is based off of (recent DNA OTA).

Why choose Viper for a Rom? It has a boat load of desense options. (AOSP launcher, AOSP lock screen, etc) Viper roms also have some really nice themes also.

Viper ROMs also get pretty decent battery life.
[HTC Droid DNA] poal98:
I suggest you to install this rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2626050

It is very stable, fast and it has a great battery life. The viperdna has a lot of theme and much more but it isn't absolutely fast.

TY for ViperDNA Rec

.....

Thank you so much for the recs...
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I agree viper rom is by far the most customizable rom when it comes to sense roms and it is very stable. I'm still running 3.0.1 but 3.1.0 is out. There have been some bugs in that version that are being worked on. So I'm waiting until it's fixed. Rom is as stable as it gets though. Highly recommend it when it comes to sense roms.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bujjet:
Again, thank you - definitely flashing ViperDNA ROM now then. Will report back for others interested in how this goes..
[HTC Droid DNA] redadz:
Great, thanks for the info. Just to clarify: you're running 3.0.1 which is viperDNA_3.0.0_release_candidate.zip released Feb 15, 2014 () plus the VIPERdna_ota_3.0.0_3.0.1.zip from Feb 24, correct? It's Android 4.4 and it doesn't have the SMS bugs people are dealing with in ViperDNA 3.1.1?

I'm also looking for a stable, no-glitch ROM, preferably 4.4. I think I'll try ViperDNA 3.0.1 based on your recommendation. Thanks! =)

For others reading this thread: I had trouble finding 3.0.1, but eventually found it under "previous releases" in the thread "(3.19.14) Team Venom Presents ViperDNA v3.1.1" here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2648446 Download link is here: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=2910#downloads
[HTC Droid DNA] Bujjet:
I downloaded 3.1.0 and the OTA 3.1.1 zip update. I formatted my phone with TWRP, "adb push"ed the two zip files to my phone. Installed 3.1.0 then after that I installed the 3.1.1 OTA update.

It's really interesting you mentioned the SMS issue... I've noticed that when I send SMS messages it will repeat them on my phone (but I'm told the recipients only get one of them). If this is the SMS issue you're referring to then I can confirm with 3.1.0 w/ 3.1.1 OTA zip that I'm getting that.

The other issue I have is some Google processes will unexpectedly stop running... for example if I'm using Google Search or Google Now sometimes it'll unexpectedly quit and crash.

Thank you for linking and explaining how to get 3.0.1... I think I'll go ahead and flash that instead.
[HTC Droid DNA] TerminatorJ:
why viper? the interface is very different from sense, is there sense inside viper?
[HTC Droid DNA] redadz:
ViperDNA 3.0.1

I think so; that sounds like what people were describing in the ViperDNA thread. I haven't tried 3.1.0 or later yet, because of the reports of double SMS. As of yesterday there's a ViperDNA 3.5.0. Although the release notes don't say anything about fixing the double SMS, I'm going to watch the discussion for a few days and see whether it gets brought up or not.

So I've now been running 3.0.1 for a day or two and I'm mostly very happy with it. The one caveat is a bug with the camera: if you turn the screen off (or the screen times out) while the camera is open, the screen won't turn back on. I saw a posting saying that a workaround is to plug into power before pressing any buttons, but I found a better workaround: switch to the AOSP lock screen (instead of the default Sense lock screen) and the camera bug goes away. I do miss the quick-launch buttons from the Sense lock screen but my phone is responsive enough with this ROM that I'm OK with that for now. To switch lock screens, go into the Viper Tweaks application, then go to Lock Screen section, and there's a toggle to switch to the AOSP lock screen; you then have to reboot the phone for the change to take effect.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bujjet:
ViperDNA 3.5 isbelieve out

An update -

Viper 3.5 has been released - it supposedly fixes the multiple text message bug (one that I was receiving)... And others are reporting a bug with Bluetooth headsets - in that when music/video/media etc work really well but is jumbled when making phone calls. (*NOTE - I'm not sure on this next part...) I believe I read that the Bluetooth phone issue is rleated to 4.4.2 KitKat , and that it won't be fixed until HTC releases source for the DNA and 4.4.2.

One "big bug" I had with 3.5 was related to GSM ... there is a big issue with APNs, SIMs and ViperDNA 3.5. This is just an FYI based on my flashing experience.

I'm going to try 3.0.1 like others here and see how that goes - I am hoping all I get (if any!) is the camera issue mentinoed above.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
3.5.0 apparently fixes double texts (i modded and used a different mms.apk)....that is according to beta team and other users as i personally block messaging on my account and use google voice and hangouts for texting as i dont want to pay for a messaging plan

gsm was a mistake on my part and i got aggressive in trying to make it a more pure gsm build for those users....but if you select "verizon" install instead of gsm in aroma you can still manually set your apns and network mode.....just loose out on the specific gsm quicksettings and have some verizon apps installed

there should be no difference in bluetooth from 3.0.0 up to 3.5.0, its all the same files, phone calls work the same regardless of version for me....but everyones devices are different and we are talking about a rom port

the camera issue/bug with screen off was resolved as of 3.1.0 as well
[HTC Droid DNA] redadz:
Yes, Viper is a sense-based ROM. That means it has all the sense libraries and applications. The default lock screen is the sense lock screen, the default launcher is the sense launcher, and the sense mail app, widgets, calendar, etc. are all there too. Other ROMs which are based on Cyanogenmod or AOSP cannot run sense applications because they lack the libraries (and maybe other stuff? kernel support?) needed to run sense.
[HTC Droid DNA] TerminatorJ:
sorry mate, i kinda stuck in my hboot flashing, could you help me out on this.

i already unlock and rooted my droid dna, and install clockmod recovery, but nowaday most rom are on twrp, so i used fastboot method to replace my clockmod with twrp, and then i proceed to flash my hboot, but i encounter this error,

H:\fastboot flash zip PL83IMG_3.06_hboot.zip

sending 'zip' (558 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.203s]

writing 'zip'...

FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)

finished. total time: 0.265s

so what is wrong with my supercid?? thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] redadz:
Sorry, I haven't seen that one before. But I'm a bit of a noob; maybe someone else can help? If a forum search doesn't turn up anything useful, you might get more attention by starting a new thread.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bujjet:
Thank you!

Thank you so much for replying in this thread Nitsuj17. Glad to know all of this.. I think I will flash 3.5 now in Verizon mode. 3.0.x has been working well for me too (except I have gotten the lock screen bug a few times, once for sure with camera). Love your ROMs and your work.
[HTC Droid DNA] TerminatorJ:
No worry, and thanks for your reply. It is due to s off wasnt done. I already flash my rom. All is good now
[HTC Droid DNA] redadz:
Great, thanks! Sounds like 3.5 is a winner. I'll update when I get a chance. Very much appreciate all your hard work on this ROM; I'm quite happy with it.

One thing I haven't been able to figure out yet is where to configure the launch shortcuts for the AOSP lockscreen. The ability to configure shortcuts goes away when I toggle from the sense lockscreen to AOSP, but the AOSP lockscreen has 8 slots around the circle for apps to launch, they're just mostly empty. Perhaps that's fixed in 3.5 too?
[HTC Droid DNA] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
The best way to find the best DNA KitKat Rom would be to download and be a flashaholic. That's what I have done here so far and honestly I'm stuck between santod040 and nitsuj17 Rom.! They both give me the performance I'm looking for and I never have issues with either of there roms. And when I do I see others metioning the same thing and within a day or two it's usually fixed by them. But that's my point of view. Only you can choose the Rom you like.
[HTC Droid DNA] rajuabju:
Another vote for Viper 3.5... If you want sense, its the best choice for the DNA in my humble opinion
[HTC Droid DNA] KB2VYZ:
Besides Viper, Santod40 has several stable ROMs running 4.3 Jelly Bean and 4.4.2 Kit Kat with your choice of Sense 5, 5.5 and Sense 6 (all of Santod40's ROMs are stable, he posts whether it's a beta or a stable release).

Hello everyone,

Thank you in advance.
[Web App Development] mau006:
Setting up the ADT can be tricky. Make sure you have that all installed correctly and if you're running Windows, add Java and ADT to your system path. Are you running Cordova build from the command line then building/running in Eclipse?
[Web App Development] vsvankhede:
reply @mau006

First of all Thank you for your reply

Yes I have build android project using command line.and then in eclipse I have create project using existing souce and added that source generated by command line tool. I have configured all thing for android including setting path.but still I can't run app.
[Web App Development] Archer:
It most likely is a setup issue if all you've done is create the bare-bones application and then try to run it. Are you running it in an emulator, or on your phone/tablet?

If you can zip up the project and attach it here I'll happily try and build it, just to rule out any code issues.
[Web App Development] vsvankhede:
@Archer

Thank you archer for your reply.I have tried to run on both emulator and phone.I have attached zip for the project.
[Web App Development] Archer:
Thanks. I'll have a look and get back to you.
[Web App Development] Archer:
Could you zip it up from the project root folder - the one with config.xml in it?
[Web App Development] vsvankhede:
@Archer

Hi archer sorry for late reply.config.xml file is in src/xml folder. Have you found any solution?:)
[Web App Development] Archer:
You need to go up to the root folder of the project, where you'll find the file config.xml, and zip from there or I can't tell what's wrong with the project. The zip file you supplied does not have all the folders required, and there is no config.xml in it anywhere.
[Web App Development] vsvankhede:
Zip file of root folder

Hi archer as you said I have attached new zip file from root folder.
[Web App Development] Archer:
I'm afraid I can't help. If all you've done is create a new Android project with Cordova and then modify index.html then it should work, but it falls over very heavily for me, and I don't know why. There are plenty of warnings and errors available in the logcat, so I'd recommend starting at the top and simply Googling for them one-by-one and trying to get rid of them that way.

Good luck - it should certainly be a good learning process for you :)

Let us know how you get on.

HELP!!!

I was trying to get all the files that are useless of off my sd card so i formated it in clockworkmod recovery and did not realize that i just deleted everything on the sdcard. And since i was just so clueless i went ahead and formated everything else that i could and then when i tried to reboot my device it takes me straight to the hboot menu. Is there any way i can get my OS back on to my device, i don't care about my files i just want the main OS back so i can use the phone again. And if you need any extra information please just ask in the comments and i will give you any info i can.

If you can get to your recovery, go there. Then flash your ROM of choice.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcticfrost:
how?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
From the bootloader, choose recovery. If that is not an option, choose either fastboot or bootloader (whichever one is there), then choose recovery. If you don't have a ROM zip on your sdcard, mount the usb storage on your computer. Download the ROM zip on your pc, then place it on your sdcard. Unmount, then follow the instructions in the OP of your ROM thread, namely by flashing the zip. Then reboot into your new ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcticfrost:
i have clockworkmod recovery but im not sure how to flash the ROM because my sdcard has problems when i try to put files onto it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
If you have a bad sdcard, you can either transfer them to the internal 8gb memory (not sure, it's been awhile since I've messed with my inc), or you should really just get a new sdcard. You don't want a bad sdcard to start filling up with possibly corrupt app data and mess up the ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcticfrost:
i cant mount my sdcard with cwm recovery i can still get the device to connect to adb and fastboot
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Again,

Note that internal 8gb memory does not mean the sdcard. Also, I'm not saying you can do this, because I can't remember. But if your sdcard is bad, you should replace it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcticfrost:
how do i know if the sdcard is bad though?

and how do i use the internal storage?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Halfhoff:
I, and some others on here, have run into a problem. With a proplerly syncing 8125 and using Activesync 4.1 or newer, installing third party software has caused us to lose our Activesync connections. An error message comes up which tells the user to check the Activesync troubleshooting guide. Four of us that I know of have run into this problem. We can still 'explore' our devices and we are 'connected' to our PCs, but we cannot sync nor can we install or remove programs. In fact, going into settings > system > add/remove programs, one no longer sees the installed programs in the list.

It appears the only remedy is to do a hard reset and start the process of creating a new partnership over again.

Here is my question. I will be getting a third party back up program (I was thinking about sprite - it appears to get better reviews then spb - feedback appreciated). I will backup my device and sd card. If the problem arises again, what do I do about the backup of the Activesync and the partnership that existed assuming the same problem arises? Do I restore everything or everything but the Activesync? Can someone help a newbie please?

Thanks in advance!
