Maybe a theme and not a Rom? - HTC Droid DNA

I'm a pretty basic guy with pretty basic needs. I like a certain look and functionality to my DNA. I have been debating over what my DD should be and am using Viper DNA (which completely kicks major ass good). When I mean basic I really mean it though. I keep going back and forth from the stock 2.04.605.2 710RD rooted rom and this one and I need a guide or some pointers to get what I want to get out of it. I just learned how to use ADB last week so I am new to the format, but I did manage to do the following:
SuperCID
UNLOCKED Bootloader
Root
S-Off
Blocked OTA updates
Flashed a kernel
My current setup is the updated radio of 1.01.01.0110 and the kernel for the 2.04.605.2 710RD update 3.4.10-ga02d2c6
I think I may be making bad decisions at the install of Viper DNA because the stock rom battery lasts forever but the Viper DNA rom only lasts half as long so I must be making a mistake somewhere.
All I really want is the stock version with these simple modifications :
Basic calculator as the sense one has weird number design (ugly design really)
Aosp looking status bar like the one guichh has but with a plain vertical battery with no percent
Aosp dialer
Working mms with aosp theme as well
Everything else can stay stock. Oh and if that pesky wifi notification in the pull down will go away that would he nice.
I know there are individual fixes for these (in most cases) but one of these options (status bar) is hard to pull of without running viper tweaks so you can't really pull that off on stock.
I know every end user is different and I guess I will have to try development next to really get what I want but if there is an easier way I would appreciate any and all help.

Actually I've been really reluctant about flashing a Rom because of that. Stock battery has been so good these few days I've had the phone. So it seems like you will have to play with the tweaks on viper / try different kernels on it. One reliable Rom that you could try is newtroot's. His were always very generous on battery life on previous devices.
The theme section has a good aosp theme last I saw. Not 100% sure, I kind of like sense 4.

You are going to love ViperDNA 1.2. As a beta tester I'm sworn to confidentiality but I can say that it will solve all of the problems you mentioned.

I have heard a rumor that Viper DNA version 1.2 will be based off of the 2.04 version. I've been a beta tester for Sony for a very very long time. So I know the feeling of being sworn to secrecy. Hopefully, I will look forward to the new Viper DNA 1.2 and love it as much as you say.

Nice to see you chime in Big Andrew. You have been most helpful to me in the past and I really appreciate your input as well as everyone else who has put up with the noob learning how to use adb. I managed to master my Thunderbolt a while back but the DNA has opened up a whole new world to me and I feel I may be annoying more than I should be. I know I ask a lot of questions and I try to learn something new every night so it may be time to crack the knuckles and dig into theming, skinning, or dare I say it, mild development to achieve what I am looking for.
If there is a way to do what I need running stock rooted with the stock kernel I will be more than happy to take a good "noob bashing" with replies that say something to the effect of this:
Okay idiot bone - step one to get your soap status bar and icons is to go to adb and do this...
Lol. I can take a good bashing. I realize that xda is a little more tech savvy than my previous forum home so I am prepared to hear comments like that....and "your village called, they want their idiot back". Lol.

Root for the new ics update, HTC sense 3.6

Has anyone made one yet? Or is it still in the making? Or is it the same way you root your phone previously?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Well, if you want root, then I recommend you flash a custom Rom, when I had stock I was never able to get root, and if you get a Rom you'll get better performance anyway
Amaze 4G ENERGY ICS
Use the Amaze all in one toolkit and re-unlock your bootloader, and use it to flash a custom recovery (it only includes TWRP, which works fine), then use the recovery to flash the Superuser.zip, which you can find all over the place. Sorry for no links, I usually just stumble upon them all.

Lol man don't take it personal... I love ya guys that are here doing something. I've tried most ROMs out there. I really liked a couple, but it always comes to this.
I run stock rooted sense. I kill the cap key lights, installed a new launcher (apex pro of course), I debloated, I installed custom splash screen, boot animation, and down animation. Juice defender handles my battery. I've got adw ics theme installed just for aosp icons for homescreen. All I have left, is to get working aosp apps to replace my system sense apps.
What don't I have that a custom sense rom has?
And for the record, I tried miui on my mt4g (cuz mrmako777 swears by it, and he's a cool dude) and I hated it. Reminded me of iOS. I just mentioned because its an alternate OS that a lot of people like. But I LOVE cyanogenmod... And we won't get that w/o proper driver code being released.
I'm open for u to try to convince me otherwise, but I think I win here buddy

Please gingerbread come back to me!

Ok, I'm sure going backwards on a device is just as hard as forward if there have never been drivers for it but it sure would be nice. CM7 would be an improvement. If my og wasn't so worn out I would be back on it but it's not dependable enough. (loose connection Somewere. Shuts down in my pocket sometimes).
So here is my question. Is it possible to build a gb rom without source from htc?

And this phone runs damn well on JB, plus JB is infinitely more smooth thanks to Project Butter.
If you want to do something as foolish as running an ugly, old, simpler build of Android on a phone that runs ICS and beyond flawlessly in hopes of it somehow improving the experience, I suggest you do research and figure out how to do it yourself because no one will waste time on that.

I feel like if this EVO were to run GB it would be worse. Too much work, no Hardware Acceleration AT ALL (Which makes a huge difference) and plus an ugly UI. If I truly felt the need to go back to that I would just flash CM7 on my DROID INC.

Wow I'm so glad your opinion carry so much weight. Ugly? Old? Really? EVO lte running flawlessly? Oh that'd be why it reboots playing a simple vid that was recorded from my old phone. Or why it can't keep an app in memory for 5 freaking minutes when I navigate away from it.
As for hardware acceleration. Gb didn't need it. Try running ics without it.
I didn't ask anyone to build it for me. My post plainly ask if it were possible. Maybe to spark another topic. But this bashing narrow minded xda today is exactly the reason devs leave. Just how many versions of the same damn ruu that already has problems do we need anyway. GB isn't a worse version, just different.

I don't care about going back to gingerbread myself, but I would think that the source for CM7 would still be out there. I would recommend checking here, I've found it to be a valuable resource.
Yes of course source is still out there. Problem being if OP could compile AOSP from source he would know where to find it
Compiling GB would be buggy as hell on the LTEVO, and IMO a waste of time.

That is Sense, not ICS. You have to compare stock GB to ICS before going "GB is clearly better" HTC phones have Sense on top of it and different versions of Sense affect different things. Try out the CM10 build and (apart from the obvious early build bugs) I assure you you will be impressed. Just wait it out until it becomes a fully working stock JB ROM and it will run better than a pure GB build on our device.
As far as whether it's possible to build or not, it is possible, however I doubt many devs would be interested in making this a reality considering the vast improvements that ICS and JB have over GB.
Stock ICS != Sense 4 ICS please understand that ICS is not as bad as Sense makes it and while I don't like Sense, this new version -- other than the multitasking -- is not as intrusive as previous ones.
Also, make sure you search before making a new post :
Gingerbread?
Op just use ftl launcher might get u what your looking for

Lack of development?

I'm just curious as to why Verizon note 2 is lacking so much in the ROM development side of things compared to other carriers. Is it solely because we are still only 4.1.1? Just thought it would be interesting to see peoples input!

Yet Scott just released a zip that will allow us to flash t mobile, and att roms. Give me a moment, and I will find the thread, and post it here. If you want to see a dead phone, go look at the rezound. The phone is barely a year and a half old, and it is marching into obscurity. The droid incredible has more action. These threads aren't going to produce more roms, just bad attitudes. Try playing with all of the mods we have, and theme it to whatever you want it to be. Morphology, Xposed, and a slew of others. Troll the other carriers threads, and pull mods that you want. That is all we can ask for, unless you are paying the devs a paycheck.

Which have you tried? Both Jedi and Jelly Beans are both great. I am using the mod in my sig right now as I like that it keeps the samsung allshare features working.
With a combination of Jelly Beans, Widget Locker, and a theme you could pretty much get anything done you want. Pick up the odd app or mod here and there to fill in the gaps.
By the way, if you want to give 4.1.2 a go Jedi is running that. It is great if you don't need the Samsung services.

I think this has been my main take away from discussions, and browsing the other forums. Quantity in this case definitely does not equal quality. I don't see the point in having 10 options if only 2 or 3 are viable. However, that is just my opinion.
Most source built ROMs (AOSP) are going to have issues, whether major or minor, and are much easier to customize as you're dealing with XML and java. However, the lack of TW features keep people away from them.
With TouchWiz ROMs, you don't lose any functionality, but there is only so much that smali hacking can do. Most of this is just the time consuming nature of trying to hack a ROM via smali only. You could get everything in your favorite source built ROM if you wanted to take the time to do so. But, given that this is a for-fun thing and not a money making venture, developers aren't likely to take that amount of time if they wouldn't use it themselves.

I would definitely prefer a few quality roms with great support than 27 versions of cyanogenmod that are 98% the same. Beans, MeanBean, Tweaked, Jedi, Elemental...that should be plenty to keep the crack flashers happy.

What is a rom really? To me It's just a better version of what the manufacturer builds. The stuff is basically the same for the most part with the addition of tweaks for better battery performance etc... That are added by the dev. The thing that makes a rom different are the things like themes and different looking batteries etc..., so why have 100 roms that essentially are the same? I would prefer to have 1 rom that performs well with a bunch of themes and mods hence i only use meanbean and love the real icon theme, or morphology. Mean bean is a great rom and with pbj kernel even better.

To each their own ya know. My reason personally for rooting and unlocking is personalization, which is why I tend to end up at aosp more often than not. There's plenty of options and stuff to mix around. The only reason why I made a topic about it was because of the extensive development on other carriers. Not because I'm not pleased with what's here, I just have a hard time staying on one ROM for long

stock android firmware has evolved into something so much better than it use to be...im still on beans build 2 because it flatout works and has all the things I need. Its hard to develop when stock touchwiz is so good out of the box. the only real thing that touchwiz needs is themeing. beans takes the cake on that. aosp was nice on my gs1 because it trimmed the fat and made the ol single core with limited ram run smooth. these quad core beasts are designed to handle bloat and a festure rich skins(touchwiz), so aosp does not have the appeal and performance advantage it use to. however for the folks that
keep this device well past tthe point verizon quits supporting it, then aosp will shine...simply for the fact it will bring the latest android offerings and keep the note 2 alive.
I think it had A LOT to do with TW and Spen/Note 2 specific features. Nobody really wants to lose them, and there's only so many ways to mess with TW. There's plenty of AOSP/KP stuff but look at the involvement compared to TW roms... It's there, but not as much... My take on it anyway.
Edit: Yeah, what Droidstyle said, lol.

Don't forget that Samsung has promised an update to 4.2 for the Note II sometime this year. No real timetable, but when it comes it will be a shot in the arm for development.
Myself, I bounce between Beans ROM and CyanogenMod. The S-Pen features are what generally keep me hopping, but both are good.

For now I will stay on his 2.5 until JB 4.2.2 drops.

Honestly it's not a big deal. These forums will soon be merged and we can use the ROMS on the international side anyway.
Gunnyman, anyone in particular to.follow in the international forums?

Hmmm. Maybe I should stick with 2.5 too, don't want to deal with any buggy other roms right now...

Honestly, Just pick one. The major releases are all good.
Stock rooted is good enough for me as I said earlier.
This sucks, same thing happened with the One X, I'm going back to rooted stock and boycotting his Clean Rom.... lol
I bought the HTC One yesterday and was excited that Scott was doing dev for this phone, then I unlock/root my phone this morning and see his post... WTF??
Using the stock updated Dev version, works great so no complaints but was still disappointed.
I hope they merge these soon, there is really no point for them being separated (m7/AT&T)
I'm using insert coin and I love it

I'm beginning to think the same thing. I guess I'll just go back to Stock rooted myself and see when we get S-Off so I can see about converting mine to a Pseudo-Dev edition.
At least I can have CM on my N4........

no to be a @SS but why buy a phone with sense to only want to run vanilla android? its fast as hell with stock. and everything works great. but then again your vanilla android htc one will be coming very soon along with S-off
I understand his reason for leaving. Currently on TrickDroid 5.6.0 and I like it, best battery I've ever had on a rom. Performance is great too.

Honestly, I prefer Sense on my One. But I liked Scott's Clean version of Sense because he tweaked it so that it would perform better with less bloat. And S-off never was a deal breaker for me, it just would be something fun to have.
whatever
back to arhd or trickdroid

Build quality would be the first thing that comes to mind for the htc one. Some people just want the quality of build but don't necessarily care for themed android

Sense6 Preview (no you can't have it.....yet) :P

Just some a little spoiler for those wondering if we will have sense6 ports on the DNA eventually
no, no one is releasing it right away as apparently HTC will go after anyone releasing m8 based roms
but it is a relatively easy port (well to boot and get basic functions) so its still 4.4.2; anywhere heres some screens (below)
Thanks for the peepshow!

im loving that they are bring back the green accents and whatnot. i was not a fan of the jellybean blue
yay for green!
Actually sense 5 looks better IMO, Ive used Tranquil Roms so long I cant take anything else lol.
How can htc go after anyone releasing m8 based roms. Android is open source so anyone can use it right? I understand they don't want anyone putting it out before the m8 drops but can they really go after you if you out a rom out based on the m8 after it has been released?

While Android is open source Sense is not, you release proprietary software before they give the OK and it spells trouble.
Just like when people get their hands on either Video games/consoles before the official release, they get banned or barred from playing online.

While I'd love to post mine early too, there is a bigger reason for all of this regarding Sense 6.0 in particular.
For more info on the subject and as to why this is considered stolen intellectual property, see this link for details.
I love that they added back a few small things and a few additional things as well.
There is now a native no lockscreen option, there are theme options, font type options, and I probably shouldn't spoil the rest.
None of them are ground breaking changes, but mostly well received in my opinion so far.
Anyway, read that link about the ordeal that transpired and you may better understand the legal precedence involved.
At this point the only thing thrilling about a new sense version release is when it's coupled with tweaks in a viper Rom. Sense still to this day, although I love many things about it, is the slowest clunkiest smartphone software I have used. Playing around with AOSP for a couple minutes and you realize just how much HTC has slowed down Android. I just wish it were faster no lagging transitions and such.
I think TouchWiz is the worst skin. That is really slow and ugly imo.

other sense6 roms will be posted this week im sure
since the version of the leak i got had been slightly modified (deodexed) before i got it, i dont want to get in any kind of stupid drama and bickering over who cant use whose stuff (because everyone has to get their epeen on being first out with a rom that takes all of 5 minutes to port) so i wont release the version ive been running personally....but im sure you ll see 3 or 4 other roms from other devs so it will all be good
im going to wait until a stock system pull of the m8 is available before doing anything else....and you will eventually see a viperDNA sense6 version....til then ill continue working on sense5.5 viperdna :good:

I see you said it took a whole 5 minutes to port... For some reason I can't get mine to port... I've tried four times now and it fails on setting permissions. I believe I've done everything I'm supposed to. Any advice?
