Im thinking about taking my dna back for the note 2. Went by the verizon store and was running some bench marks to get a feel for it. It was scoring 14000 in anutu, and the 3d test was running 35fps tops, could it just be that phone? My old s3 scores 11400.... It just seemed extremely weird that the mali 400 was scoring that damn low. Now i didnt look much into what the software version was but can anyone comment on 3d performance? Wildblood etc?

Dude, don't worry about synthetic benchmarks. The Note 2 simply feels faster than the DNA.
I had the DNA for a week and exchanged it for a Note 2 and haven't looked back since. I just couldn't stand the heavy scrolling and slow animations when scrolling home screens on the DNA.
Do it, you won't be disappointed.

Ended up getting one and the damn rep did the OTA locking down the bootloader. But even on stock its much smoother and battery life cant even compare.

Aww that sux, but good job on getting the phone! It's just simply a better phone imo. The only thing the DNA had going for it was the screen and that's basically it.

I have both phones right now and the DNA is most likely getting sold! I did buy the Note 2 first though but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with the DNA and while it is a very nice phone it is just not as smooth as the Note 2 is... I have the DNA on a stock kernel because the only kernel that is available that overclocks the DNA is waaay unstable but they did just drop a VERY nice rom for it over there (ViperDNA) which is one of the most customizable roms I have ever used on a phone. The DNA really has nothing on the Note 2! Yes, the screen is beautiful!! But I think that is why it lags like it does...? (pushing all those pixels) As far as Touchwiz over Sense... I like them both but Samsung has just got them beat right now (everyone for that matter)! If Samsung made phones that were not ALL plastic that would be my wet dream. If you don't want a Note 2 cause it's too large then get a DNA but if you can handle the BEAST then you have one of the best phones, if not the best, that you can get!
And having owned both phones the whole benchmark thing means NOTHING! It's real world use and that's where the Note 2 will win every time!
As far as the difference between any version of sense or touchwiz, I'll take tw any day. Love me some tw. I just wish theyd make a tw rom thats compatible with theme chooser.

After being able to use it for two days, I mean my girlfriend has it so I have unlimited use of it, I would say I want to wait and see how ICS looks on our phones first before I "jump ship". Honestly I still feel like my display is better and the Galaxy Nexus is a big phone in my hand. So yes in other words it's only because of that deal.
Side note, the camera on the Galaxy Nexus isn't great at all compared to our phones. We took pictures of the same thing last night, my camera obviously had crazy better detail to the picture, she was sad. But the zero shutter lag is epic. So with ICS on our phones, I don't know if there will be a phone out that I will like better imo.

This echos how I feel exactly, already with the ROMs and kernels I have on my SGS2 i wouldnt trade it when either CM9 or ICS arrives I as well think nothing until the SGS3 will touch it
I don't understand how you got scores that high? What is MUIU? I had 4.0.3 Code's rom and Franco's kernel and only scored in the 4000's, which upset me. I recently wiped and put on Trinity's kernel with AOKP and got 6250. Anything I can tweak? I'm not seeing scores in the 7000 range.

I would just like to add my 2 cents. I have compared my gs2 side by side with a verizon gnex and can safely say I would rather have my phone. The colors and overall picture quality of the screen is better on the gs2 and the gs2 is faster. I also did a boot test to see which phone booted up quicker and ours won by a long shot and we have the unfair advantage of running gingerbread. Just wait till we get ics. That is one advantage it has over our phones. the other being how fast it is able to snap pictures. that thing can fire off some pictures.

Miui + siyah kernel + 1400 = 7000+ for me
Illusion rom can net you 7000+ as well (what I'm running now, also why it shows 9100)
I wouldn't trade my phone for a Gnex. There really is no gain for me. I prefer the look of the i777 anyway.

Yeah theres not much of a comparison when you know what you're doing. This is a first bench off of my new rom. I took an I9100 ICS rom and made it work for my I777 device with some file swaps/tweaks from an I777 rom. Took a few different "versions" to get it right but....yes EVERYTHING works with no bugs. It actually works better than the older ICS rom that was designed for the I777. I expect to hit mid 8000's with a few more tweaks, maybe much higher.
What do you mean everything works? Are you saying phone works? As in calls.

Cause TW is garbage. Plus Sammy = slower than balls w/ updates. To me the S4/Adreno 225 isn't that huge of a boost to warrant being stuck on a carrier controlled device. Yeah they say it does better in benches but I could care less. Tried my friends AT&t OneX and it was laggy to the max.
Really hate to see you leave, as i currently use your ROM, and its amazing. I have had this phone for only 3months, and was looking like there was hope for good developers on it, and now everyone's bailing out for the S3/Nexus. :-( guess I need to buckle down and learn to create ROMs myself.

Whats good enough for you is not for me. My brother has a nexus since day 1, the camera is essentially unusable, especially under low light conditions. Its not even considerable for taking any kind of pictures worth saving. The rezound camera is top tier in comparison. And i snap a ton of pics. If this werent the case, im sure i'd be very pleased with the nexus, but the camera is a deal breaker.

I just think its funny, the power of marketing can pull people off a superior phone in terms of hardware just by hyping up an inferior phone and allowing more wide open software development. .........but when we get source what will be the difference? I dunno guys, I'm pretty happy with this phone and I really don't like these goodbye forums. It gives the illusion that something is wrong with the rezound and further perpetuates the hype and needs to stop.

Don't think they're implying there's anything wrong with the phone. But everyone knows there's something wrong w/ the Rezound's community/forums. That + dying development is imo pretty legit reasons for wanting to change phones. Hard to pass up the Jelly Bean!.

There is something wrong with the rezound, the community for it is dead and it doesnt look good at all for the future of the phone. Most people who are on XDA want to own a phone with a strong community, Rezound is furthest from it. I am waiting for the Note 2 and im done with the rezound at that point.
Thanks for the heads up. You've contributed a lot to the Rezound community.

The sensation has a smoother more stable AOKP port than the GS2 from tmo does, how's that for convincing ya to stay?

Hey all,
As some of you may have heard, there are lots of leaks about an exciting new 5" HTC "phablet" coming to Verizon. This phone will have some wicked specs if the sources I have seen are correct. This thread will concern anything really to do with the DLX including specs, pros and cons, discussion about any of the aspects of the phone/ release date, news, and speculation of any of the previously mentioned topics (also including pricing). I will try my best to maintain this thread and update it daily as new information and leaks role out.

Battery is my only question. That 1080p screen should be sipping juice like there's no tomorrow and I'll only get it if it has good battery.

My thoughts exactly, sufficient battery life is really what I'm concerned about so far. Still excited about the overall awesomeness of the phone though

Well I'm concerned about no sd slot, really? That's a deal breaker. Along with no removable battery? Come on htc its not all about screen size and processor speed :/ not impressed.

I personally don't give a crap about removable storage. Even with my music library my sd card isn't even 2gb but it is filled with old nandroid backups I should delete. -.-

I was originally concerned too however I've never been able to use up 10GB on a device, that's with 100 albums of music, of 600 photos, 40 apps, and 2 or three roms, I'm not too concerned
Edit: My mentor Charlie also mentioned that you can use an OTG USB cable if your real concerned also these specs are not set in stone yet so anything can happen

No sd slot.. No removable battery, only 16 gb.. They're holding out. My old atrix had 16gb of space. And a sd slot. Pass sadly. I miss htcs build.

I am a little concerned too about battery but I'm faithful they will put a good sized one in there if they don't make it removable

Codename is actually DLX not DIX you probably know why too.

Hey, at least it will be able to do voice and data simultaneously, unlike the iPhone 5. Also, there's going to be a led notification light on the back, as well as front. Kind of cool.

I hope that it can also do voice and data on 3G like the Rezound and the Thunderbolt. I use it a lot for work.

By now I'm sure you've all seen that the HTC ONE is going to be sold on the google store starting next month. Apparently its going to run a stock google experience. Since m7 was able to be ported with little effort (or what at least seemed like little effort), will 4.2.2 be able to be ported over that easily as well? Now before you all jump down my throat yes I'm fully aware of the version that currently exists how ever there are still flaws with that rom (my hats off to those dev's regardless because there works is amazing). Also does anyone think there will be any benefit (other than future updates) that googles 4.2.2 will offer over what our devs have cook up?
Was going to ask the same thing. I hope this helps with great AOSP roms for the dna.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
my first instinct is that yes this will benefit our roms seeing as much of the stuff that brought functionality to our current aosp builds was aided by the htc one devs(camera comes to mind)... hopefully alot of stuff can be pulled.. if not much at all, it will still offer some benefit.

Absolutely not. Screen is to big. 5 inch is pushing it to me. The gnex and s3 had perfect size screens.

I agree. For one, we'll never see this phone on Verizon. AOSP gets boing after a while as well.

Rumor has it HTC will be giving early adopters of the One the option to run a Sensless stock vanilla ROM. So, if they do that, they would have to make it a downloadable file which may make it that much easier for the developers.

I really hope the DNA benefits from HTC One's Google Experience.
I really don't want to jump to ATT Wireless to have my AOSP and up to date phones.

Two years ago they said the same about 4.3 inches. Bigger screens will sell. Verizon wants to sell. The math is simple. The new note is supposed to be around that area. Note 2 sells very well. Most people like bigger screens myself included.

Yea imho the 5 inch is perfect for a big phone, noticibly bigger than the HTC one. 4.3 is great for useres who prefer one a little more compact. My gnex is a great device, the rezound would have been if not for its thickness. If I want a phablet like the note 2 I see no problem with 6+in displays and will be getting HTCs new throw in the phablet market.

Yea right now I'll agree in a year maybe 5 will be too small for me. Its still hard to imagine how huge the droid x was a few years back lol

oh yeah
Can't wait for the source to come out on the HTC one Google phone should help clean up any lingering problems we currently have
Sorry but anything bigger than 5 inches is ridiculous. Pretty soon this will be what we will all look like.

I used to say my rezound screen at 4.3 inches was plenty big enough. But being used to the DNA, everynight when I get on my rezound to work on testing and scripts and such, I wish it had a bigger screen. What I'm really looking forward too though, is a bigger tablet. I'd love an 18 inch tablet that's thin and lightweight, and powered like the 383 stroker motor I built for my S-10.
