I have been kind of looking around for a few days and i have seen people having a few issues and i have seen several roms but im hoping you guys can answer me a few questions.
Is there a SafeStrap like app that works with this phone? I am coming from a BIONIC and that was really nice to have.
Is there a vanilla android rom or is it all stock modified?
Lastly are there any known issues i should be aware of?
Thanks guys.

1)There is a DNA version of CWM and TWRP
2)not at this time
3)You should be aware that there is a high chance your phone will come with the latest update installed. At this time there is no root or Bootloader unlock for that. Be prepared to run stock sense for a bit

Safestrap is moto hashcode only. Theres nothing the same but there all dual boot apps in play store
No vamilla roms but its being wotked on. Check original development forum. It's coming along.
As for issues i haven't experienced much but hot reboots are more common on custom roms than in previous phones. I haven't experienced it but lots of people in forum have. My previous phones are droid 3 and galaxy nexus for reference

What's safestrap?
Cn10 and 10.1 are being worked on, but aren't at a state that would be useable as a daily driver for most people.
I don't know if you can call it an issue but if your phone has the ota you won't be able to root it.

Do you have any experience with them on the DNA? I tried using some on a phone before and it totally screwed up the phone even tho it was in the supported list.
Thanks all for the replies. So it looks like this is a pretty rock solid phone besides the audio sync issues then, or have those been resolved as well.

I had the Droid Razr and used safestrap, actually just found it in a backup folder on my laptop, anyway no "safestrap" for the DNA but yes on recovery just like safestrap. I have used both. The DNA is still a WIN phone if you can root or not. MY Razr was great and I love the DNA, no SDcard was a bummer, 16GBs is fine with me tho.
#1 thing you want to look for is the 1.15 under settings/about/software information 3rd line from the top, if you're lucky it'll say 1.15..xxxxxx if it says 2.04.605.2 710RD we are currently waiting for DEVs to figure out if they can unlock the bootloader. Now if you can buy a DNA with 1.15 you can unlock and root that on that version or unlock that version, keep the unlock.bin file then upgrade to 2.04 then unlock with that unlock.bin from 1.15 and finally root and do what you like.
If you go to Verizon to buy the phone just don't let them update it. Tell them you heard its buggy and you'll wait for the next one or what ever, tell them you won't buy it if it's updated, just don't let them update it.
Hope this helps. Its a good phone regardless.
Please! Please!
See this thread before buying a DNA or you will be VERY upset. Especially if you are paying retail!

That's an informative thread tusctwo, but rooting aside it's still a kickass phone. These guys will get it. Anything is crackable. I bought the DNA before I new it could be rooted and was very happy with it. Rooting was just a bonus to let me do alil more with the phone. It is not the end of the world if one cannot root, plus there is always sending it away to be JTAGGED=rooted and S-off, it's a win win situation either way.
Thanks for the info guys. Ill definitely check the version before i buy.
Didnt realize this does not have an SD card, that may be a deal breaker for me. (I need some place to store all my midget porn! :laugh
In all serious ill have to think about the no SD thing.
Also the HTC overlay is a huge turn off for me. Why do they have to make that thing so draining? Ughh. I had a friend with an HTC phone and it was night and day difference when we loaded a vanilla rom on there. Same with my HTC tablet. The Sense UI is cool looking but geez the amount of resources it sucks up is crazy.
So is the Internal storage partitioned like the BIONIC? 8 GB for os and then the other 8 for whatever?
I am coming from a BIONIC and this is the only phone that it makes sense to even consider upgrading to right now. The rest are pretty much the same specs. Dual core 1gb ram. The 2gb ram is huge for me. I hate having barely 100 mb free all the time.
After a complete, initial first boot, setting up, etc, you will have just over 11 gb to use as you please.

You'll have 11 gigs of space.
And sense isn't a huge hog, and hasn't been for over a year now. It doesn't stutter and I usually have 500 mb to a gig of free ram.

I came from a Thunderbolt which had the old Sense on it and the new Sense 4+ is a ton better in comparison. I use apex as my launcher so my home screen isn't dependent upon the limitations of any manufacturer launcher... but the HTC apps (phone, contacts, and especially mail) are all way better than stock android IMO. And I really like the Sense lock screen which has great quick launch apps.
Just my opinion and all, but if you're using the old Sense as a foundation for opinion then I would suggest checking out the new version.
Also I'd like to point out the camera on this thing... it's phenomenal. I love the ability to take full res photos while recording 1080p video.
One more point... if space is an issue I would suggest using the free SyncMe app in the play store to copy your pics and video into a folder on your PC wirelessly and on a schedule (mine runs at 4am when I'm sleeping)... then you can take them off of the phone and still have them saved. If you sync it with your Google Drive folder then all of the pics and video will still be available on your phone as well.
I hope this helps a little.
My advice.. the DNA is not worth it at this point. It is not going to have official Sense 5 support.. and it's already locked down pretty bad at the moment. Also, you are not wrong about Sense 4+ on this device. it lags and stutters at times.. I swear to god the app switching is even slower than double-clicking the home button and switching apps on the iphone!...The quad-core is probably good only if you are running quadrant scores periodically to feel happy about a "powerful" phone.. but otherwise for everyday usage.. the phone is simply not up to snuff for that kinda hype and money.
You are better off buying a Motorola Razr HD (even though it's got a ****ty camera compared to dna). ..

Who says it won't get official sense 5, it most likely will.
I have no clue how you can make this phone stutter.
And for app switching, that's why you root your phone. The sense 5 one is amazing.

I hope so.. but this I can guarantee.. by the time sense 5 comes to droid dna (IF at all it comes).. this phone will be seriously outdated and old.
Actually lately Verizon has been pushing out a lot of updates and this is their current flagship so I can't see why it wouldn't get sense 5.

I bought an X2 a few weeks ago because it was available to me for $50 (yeah, I'm. Cheap). I really love it (except for the physical buttons (wtf?)) and I really wanted something larger than my Incredible. However after reading threads for a few weeks it just really seems the development for the X2 is being past over for older equipment (i.e. my Viewsonic G Tab?) & newer phones. Did I pick the wrong phone??
I'm not crazy techie, so I don't know the complexity, but the Droid, the Droid X & the Droid 2 have been cracked. Did Motorola really go to so much trouble making the X2 so different that it is much more difficult to crack or are the efforts to crack this phone being passed over for some reason? Do I just need to avoid Motorola phones in the future?
Like I said I'm not a very technical, but have contributed (donation-wise) to multiple ROMs I used on my Incredible & gTab & I just thought I would see similar flexibility on the X2 by now, so I just want to know if I need move on from the X2 or not?
The 512mb of RAM is what made me leave this phone. It requires too many hacks/scripts to even run properly.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
Yeah, I don't really run that much and I regularly see only about 3-9MB avail. ;(
I'm starting to think this is a middle of the road phone that I should have just past by & it seems the developers think so as well. Guess I should have researched more, not been so cheap & been less impatient.
Well I'm cheap, so I'll need to wait for better pricing on the latest phones, but if Motorola is going to be such a problem, then I guess I need to go with Samsung or HTC.

Agreed, they do however, run very well on any of the current available roms imo. The devs have done an excellent job of working with what we have.

If you don't have 4g in your area, x2 is your best bet. Im running eclipse and am more than happy to keep x2 until mid 2013 when 4g arrives in my area. If you have 4g, get something else.

The only thing that sux about this phone is not having an unlocked bootloader but with the roms we have available it runs super smooth and it's reliable and yes nitro is the best thing to happen to this phone...don't get discouraged paying 50 bucks for this dualcore phone is a steal bro...

This phone does suck for lack of actual ROMs not based on stock. However, the RAM is not as big an issue compared to other Motorola phones with 1GB (i.e. Atrix, Atrix2, Photon, Bionic, Droid RAZR) because, if I recall, their webtop service digs into that RAM anyway. It is a joke though that some of our RAM is taken up by the Tegra 2.
However, I am impressed with Tegra's hardware acceleration for web and Flash. It does seem to load web pages quickly, but I don't have other dual-core phones to compare to.

the lack of non-stock ROMs is partially because of the bootloader. The other reason is because of lack of interest.
Droid X, 2, 2 Global all still have locked bootloaders (I believe), yet a lot of custom ROMs including CyanogenMod and MIUI. Not sure if all the dual-core Motorolas are unlocked, but I know some are.

No actual ROMs huh? So a ROM isn't a ROM because it doesn't have a custom kernel? What do you call Eclipse? What do you call Liberty?

You talking about me? Or the newbs?
I was able to trade my dx2 for an incredible 2 and the difference is astounding. The dx2 has good hardware and amazing build quality but a lot of the major selling points of the phone don't mean anything. Qhd is a gimmick, as is dual-core IMO. Nothing is built to take advantage of it, including Android.
The best thing about the dx2 was the build quality and feel which is second to none. Everything about the hardware is more refined than my INC2. Eclipse is a great ROM too and makes this device worthwhile.
All in all, I think this phone has a chance at being everything that the x was but it is going to require more people to stand up.
Bottom line: if you want a phone for a specific ROM/kernel, do your research before you spend your cash. Your response to your device will be based on your expectations.

The other issue, with the rate the new "bigger badder" phones are popping up, Dev's can't keep up, nor afford to buy every phone on the block. This Android runs 2.2.2, the next runs 2.3.5, the next runs 4.0.1, you get the point. These 1 man teams like Nitro are insane working on 3/4 phones at a time, and building their rom at a pace that keeps up with Android builds and hardware differences. Not to mention the continued support despite the pace of new phones being released. If you want everything under the sun, buy a phone everyone is interested in. Look how ridiculous the Galaxy Nexus forum is already and the phone was just ANNOUNCED weeks ago, not even released yet. We have what we have over here, and complaining about it doesn't help anything. Short of unlocking the BL ourselves and enticing devs by buying them the phone, we probably are not going to get more than the handful of ROMs and support we currently have.
The newly released Eclipse 1.2 and Liberty 3 RC1 are fantastic. This is how the X2 shouldve have been out of the box. Liberty final is coming soon and that'll be it till we get ICS. My phone is now almost as smooth as an iphone.
Also, use the following apps:
Go Launcher
Opera
Quickpic
ES File Explorer
ROM Toolbox
Handcent
I'm installing Eclipse 1.2 now. It looks great.

That's because it IS great and every update gets even better.
don't forget to customize your phone to make it run how you want. Don't feel limited in what this phone can do/handle.
A custom launcher can make a lot of difference in how you phone feels.
I LOVE go launcher ex. Lots of themes and home screen options. Different screen transition animation(even in app drawer..sphere animation is sick)
Right now im still using the launcher that came wit 1.2eclipse..it works smooth and looks good.
Just throwing in my 2cents but the previously mentions about just buying on cool specs is always going to backfire. And the other point about the devs not being able to keep up with the phones is the second major issue.
I got "upgraded" to the DX2 from my DX by insurance and I have run almost every rom I could. After the time I spent with my DX it was as fast as this phone is and there was way more choice of hacks and roms. I have to give serious props to Nitro, the Liberty crew and Navendrob (hope I spelled the name right) because they have done some great work. But unfortunately by the time all their hard work is finally paying off the majority of us will be on the next phone.
To bad more people can't afford to donate to devs so they can have new toys to hack on....
Well I just ordered the Rezound after moving from Sprint. Just wanted to say Hi some forums appreciated that. Not sure if I will do a ROM for this device but who am I kidding? Anyway just wanted to stop in an say Hi. Got the device coming FEDEX from Verizon for $99 bucks. I was waiting for the One but since HTC is taking it over to AT&Ts ****ty network I'm going to go to this. Pretty excited about it the phone really has everything I want. Anything I need to know? From what I have read you guys are using HTC Unlock and flashing kernels with fastboot? Is that about right? Thanks.

Hey Zone. Great to see you on the Rezound forum Unlocking and rooting is fairly easy but I was a bit gun shy at first. Tried to read up a bunch first if that make sense. lol. I really don't mess around too much with custom kernels because I feel the stability and speed is already good enough with custom roms. But I'm sure custom kernels bring this device to another level. Anyway, just wanted to say hi.
Also Cleanflash is a great way to flash boot.img. Scott did a great job with it.

Not really I have cut way back. Someone started doing a boat load of free ones which pushed me out of that market. Plus we still can't edit m10s (Sense 3.5) which is a big problem for me. When I go to make this ROM blue I wont be able to remove all the green. That drives me a little crazy.

lol. That's the truth. Wimax speeds were about the same for me here but the difference is LTE has more coverage in my town overall. Less dead spots for sure. Only thing that has surprised me since switching is there have been at least 4 LTE outages this year. It seems like when they go down, I can't even get 3g it goes right to 1x which is dreadful. But I'm sure they are going to iron this out.
Haha.. funny to see you switch over too. It's funny how that works. Amazing how long that EVO battery lasts when it's NOT attached to the NOT-now Network.
The speeds/switch capacity issues/discount change finally did it in for me too.
Glad to see friends on the other side!

Scott does a great job with his roms as usual and has rooted stock versions available for the latest gb ota and leaked ics rom. I am still more of a GB guy since everything works as it should. Chingy's rom is top notch as well for gb. Everyone does a great job imo.

ICS currently has a touch screen bug (big, for me) where sometimes you swipe in one direction and it 'jumps' the other way. May be the kernel.
GB is stable and working great. All of the GB ROMs are stable as a rock.
I use Ineffabilis. Lots of great features, and 100% stock base. Nothing stability-wise touched.
Every single non-stock kernel has stability issues with most peoples' rezounds (even without overclocking). The dual 1.5ghz doesn't seem to need an overclocking (this is the first phone I've ever felt that way about), so it doesn't bother me.
Stock kernel is great, and everything works. Some great Devs here, and it's getting busier by the week as our phone gets more attention.
Welcome, sir!

Lord on this day I am thankful for the bountiful spread of food I am about to consume, that I decided to pull the trigger on the DNA without root at the time, for Android, and for the devs that found a way to release the insane power this phone holds within.
Amen.

From what I gather, NO HTC phone without an SD card has been able to achieve s-off. Could be another reason VZ commissioned this phone without an SD, but I'd bet it has more to do with forcing cloud usage and streaming on the masses. Too bad I paid outright for this beast and will be raping VZ data whenever possible..
Anyway, s-off isn't a huge deal, really just means we have to flash kernels from fastboot.

Surprisingly I'm really enjoying all the eye candy that Sense brings to the table. Of course aosp is great, but sense isn't really a memory hog like it used to be since phones have so much ram and faster processors than some laptops

I just bought an HTC Droid DNA and I was guessing if it's possible to install Stock Android Jelly Bean on the device, because I actually didn't liked Sense UI.

If you are holding your breath on AOSP don't. Might want to consider returning if you don't like sense. I'm contemplating it too and switching to AT&T and picking up a Nexus 4. I don't think anyone is even working on AOSP for this phone now. If it does appear it will be months from now.

Really a shame. Why can't Android users get the best hardware AND the best software on ONE device? The DNA is currently the best hardware available for Android. AOSP on it would make it the best device all together. What a shame.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but how exactly do you know. We all knew what we were getting into when we bought the device. Just gotta be patient that's all. If s-off does indeed come from sality within the month, then this device would be making great strides in development. From there we would need the RIL to be cracked, but it takes time. If you don't see any huge development by the first week of January, return your device. As long as you bought the phone after Nov 22 you can return it to Verizon by January 15th. Just my input.

2 Questions:
1) What about this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996389 Won't that get you to the point where you can try one of the ROMs that has been released in the Dev forums here?
2) Why January 15th? Is that a holiday special? Isn't it normally 2 weeks? If I bought my DNA on the 21st, what are the chances I could get them to honor this promotion? Since I only missed it by a day.
Once the devs work things out with the s-on and RIL problem this phone will really be a beast.
As far as the video problem, I'm sure it'll be worked out as more phones get 1080hd displays. Same with games and apps.

You must first unlock your device's bootloader in order to root. Once that is all completed then yes.... And in response to your second question, yes the return period is a holiday special. Chances of getting the promotion honored is doubtful, honestly. You could always return the device, pay the restocking fee, and buy the phone again elsewhere, which would then fit with the promotion. That's assuming if you bought it off contact.
If this phone ends up anything like the Rezound did, sell it now, return it, etc.
It took months and months and months and countless issues and still development is dead.

Except for the fact that the DNA is a great phone that ranks up with the best right out of the box. The Rezound is/was not.
The rezound had the best screen, best audio, best processor, best camera when it came out. Lol . Nice try though.

I don't understand when people say this...Sure AOSP is nice to run every once in a while, but honestly I don't see what makes it better than sense..they do the exact same thing, they just look different! There's not even the argument that it runs faster anymore as the DNA has such good internals that it could run any os without a problem.

Seems like a big time slow down on developing for this phone.
Is this simply due to the One?

Due simply to the One? No. MeanBean has been dead for a while. Viper appears to have been complete since February. CM10.1 is still in the works. Stock is still being worked on. I'm sure the Sense 5 Port and others aren't just being set aside to never be touched again. I could be wrong about that though.

Could be wrong but have to agree, sense 5 may take a little while longer to get rolling, but there other roms that just dropped. Im a big supporter of utkaar99's work here. If you like sense try his HatkaLTE or his Rage ROM. If you like AOSP ,take a look at jaimeg's threads. Still some stuff happening here just a little slow right now. As far as the One, its true we're loosing some folks to that forum, but thats how it works here at xda. I mysrlf was going to get a One or the samsung 4 but decided to hold, mainly just to see how long this forum will last. Hope its like the Heroc was, even in low activity it still pushed on. Same with the Evo4G, still hangin in there 3D is the same, still going strong. We may pick up some of theirs in the future hopefully. Just gotta hang tough.
*Information IS the most dangerous weapon of all*
It isn't like the days of the original evo. I always had a new Rom to play with and so I wait patiently 4 the next big rom release. I refuse to use a Rom that doesn't have full functionalities. I need my phone to just work so I am staying on mean bean until something worthy replaces it. I do love viper Rom as well.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I know viper is working on something that will allow mods and roms for the one on other carriers to work on the Sprint variant and vice versa. One development is about to explode. That said we still have some quality roms here in lte land. If you have the time, you can learn to develop and theme.

Good post man.... I would hate to see all development stop for this phone but it won't, it will slow down though.. I think everyone was so used to getting different roms and constant updates to feed the addiction... What they have done is awesome and the part about the roms being complete is true, I can't think of much that can be done with viper, been using it for a while and it's bad ass.. Just debating the One, not sure if I want to jump ship yet, it's fast and smooth, but it's not much better than this in my opinion.

My husband just got the One (his upgrade from the EVO4G). The only features it has that I wish my 4GLTE had are the dual front speakers (the sound is beautiful!), the IR blaster (maybe not super useful, but can be used for triggering our DSLR), and the international SIM card slot.
The aluminum skin is also beautiful, but it's not going to tempt me to upgrade. It also doesn't have an SD slot, so it wouldn't hold all my MP3s.
I hope development doesn't die on this device. I plan on keeping it for quite a while longer.

I keep wondering the same thing. Got another year to go before my upgrade, and definitely can't afford the one straight up. Was hoping when our sense5 update drops sometime this summer (hopefully) that the current favs like mean, viper, and superjelly would be brought up to date with it, but it doesn't seem that'll happen since those devs have moved on to the one or left HTC all together. Not saying new stuff won't drop then, but for now anything sense will be slow.

Actually, it DOES seem like that WILL happen. As I've said earlier that some of the progress on those ROM's have been completed. There's simply no more to do with them which is why there is no update. Just like the OTA from HTC even though they could be doing more.
I think in this new world of quickly progressing smartphones there are a couple of options for xda'ers. One, upgrade yearly to stay with the new device that gets all the attention.
The second option is the progression that this site fosters. Users learn and build their abilities to create by themselves. Many of the past leaders of EvoLTE have left a legacy of development here that can be built upon. Fortunately, the vast majority of the devs around here will gladly allow another person to take over the reigns and continue a build- or even make it thier own creation.
The site was named xdadevelopers. The purpose for the site is to allow users to learn to be developers. All the tools are here.

Something else to consider is that Android 5 (Key Lime) is on the horizon and may be announced at Google I/O in a couple of weeks. A major OS rev often stokes new inspiration for devs and hopefully we'll see ports of Key Lime ROMS to the EVO LTE (e.g. CM, Key Lime based Sense, etc.).
It ain't dead.
Just have to know where to look is all.. not all ROMs get posted on XDA
I'd much rather have more kernel development than rom personally. I'm learning more and more each day the true capability of the hardware and which software elements dampen it's potential. We have a huge hd screen and dual core I could really care less about the One and sense 5. Like someone else said it can't do much more than viper. I'm testing the AOSP waters for now and loving Slim Bean currently.

Just look in the development threads. There are still a lot of really great roms still being worked on.
Yes a few have left but many still have this phone and many more will probably pick it up second hand or now that it's becoming really cheap on sprint.
For ask those worried why don't you go and read a few how-tos and start doing your own thing.
I really hate these threads. They always happen and never produce something good. Just lame really.
