So it seems there is that Chinese Rom with Sense 4.1 and working 3D, this is amazing, however, it is the only one of it's type.
The fact that HTC did not release the Driver Sources made me somehow hate them and it was the reason why many bugy couldnt be fixed, many devs left.
So, this Chinese Rom is removed because it is not allowed according to the rules, but... why exactly?
Could someone please post information on this story, really, this is EXTREMELY important, it could change our 3volife
Is it because it's a Viper fix, why then don't they release the fix?
So, the simple question is:
What's the fuzz about the 3D-fix? Somehow no one knows whats going on!
I'm gonna make it as brief as possible.
We can't release it on XDA or link to it because it is considered kang. The ROM is based off of a Viper3D build and was used without permission. Now unless Team Venom gives us permission to release their ROM with working 3D here on XDA, we can't do it because then that's kanging someone else's work, and that's highly frowned upon here, and leads to heavy infractions

I can not understand how is it possible that only one team is capable to make 3D work. Why can not someone else make it from the basis without their rom?

I am pretty sure coolexe or anryl or mwakious could do it if they have time
Somebody could definitely do it, but it would be a very hard thing to do since HTC doesn't hand out their 3D drivers. That team who got it working guaranteed was working for weeks and weeks on end getting it working, somebody here could do it for sure, but nobody has tried yet, and its probably something that's more trouble than its worth. Even if we looked at what that team did to get it working we can't use any of that, or even copy any of that because then it would still be kanging their work. Its something we either A) need to get permission for or B) take care of ourselves, but have that be 10000x harder. Its not impossible, but it is improbable

This is ridiculous in my opinion.
I'll probably get flamed but the whole purpose of android being open source is so anyone and everyone can contribute and make it a better experience.
I understand the HTC drivers are proprietary, but in my eyes, if you've made something better why not share it with the world...are these 'team' members making money on these fixes, are they coming out with their own proprietary phones...that's the only reason I can see to necessitate keeping these fixes to yourself...yes I applaud any ROM dev for their work (I sure as hell couldn't do what they do) but what's the point in the end? Bragging rights? Come on!

Android is open source, you changed is the exclusive copyright? This is not unreasonable.
If anyone need help, you can email me
The rules centered around this are not android related. It has nothing to do with open source, they're xda's rules. It makes sense why they're there (that way we don't see the same exact ROM under a different name pop up every 20 minutes, etc.). I don't like the rule either but hey, its just something we gotta live with

No lags at all. What I experienced was huge battery drain. So, right now, I oam in the process of reverting back to stock ROM. Tired of all these tests. Gonna get SIII tomorrow anyway

Seriously, is there something you want that is not developed such as a specific rom, kernel, recovery, etc?
I think there is plenty of development for the DNA. What could you possibly want? Everything has already been listed. It's leagues ahead of the Droid Razr I used to have. Let's not forget that a new method for S-off is still pretty new. That's the major reason why development was lagging behind and since then it's been booming. You already have several different 4.2.2 AOSP roms to choose from. Then you have the Sense 4+ and 5 roms that are perfect. I personally don't see how development is so bad.

There are no two ROMs that are the same right now in the original android development section.
If you go try each one out you will see that they really are very different.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Is it because they are mostly built from the same base? I can see that being confusing to some, thinking there is no real development going on.. However, the same base != the same rom. There is real development going on for our device and all other devices on these forums.. I for one feel we have plenty to choose from and things are only going to get better and easier down the road... May have an official Sense 5 rom for the devs to play around with if Verizon gets things going.. I love it here!! Am I wrong? :good: :highfive::highfive:

That was sarcasm. In other words most of our roms have a completely different feel. On the GNex there were a lot of dups for sure.
Considering that this is a Verizon exclusive, locked bootloader, low popularity, CDMA phone, I'd say that delopement here is going pretty good. We have plenty of Roms, consisting of stock Sense 4 based, Sense 5 based, and CM/AOSP based. We even have an alpha build of Sense 5 4.2.2! We also have decent kernel development, 2 or 3 for AOSP and several for Sense. I've come to trust @.torrented and @pio_masaki for giving you the best overall user experience and working with the user to fix and repair not only their ROMs but miscellaneous bugs completely unrelated to them. These two have made it a truly great dev community. Because of these two, I am perfectly fine with the stage of development on our devices. If either of you are reading this, I love you guys!
If extensive development is what you want, get off Verizon and buy a Nexus 4 or a Google Edition HTC One/SGS4

Don't get me wrong, its an amazing phone that could easily compete with the SGS4, but it's Verizon exclusive so it never made it to that status. It was a mistake on Verizons and HTCs part to make this beast a carrier exclusive.

well, considering that verizon sells the iphone and the SGS4 (and the SGS3 if you want to talk about 2012), will them having close to 50% and 30% market share, respectively, i dont really see how the DNA could have been anywhere near a top seller. not to mention the note 2 and others. i would probably label this phone "unpopular". most people have never even heard of this phone. i'm glad they are making the "droid" branding exclusive to motorola. the DNA's exclusivity to Verizon killed the awesome potential this phone had. but still, i think we have awesome development. except, i dont understand why we have 5 million aosp roms.

need recommendation here about any roms for s-on vigor
prefer if it's a global ones, and about battery life which become common question other newbie users like me, honestly it doesn't matter although i need it too coz i like to try it one by one before deciding 2 main daily roms with decent batt life.
ohh yeah one thing since my rezound is still s-on, besides s-off only rom...can i flash other roms here without s-off specifically prerequisite, i mean i've taken a look some threads here that do not mention s-off only, may be i can flash it via recovery for the flashable zip and then flash the boot.img from the rom extraction so that it will boot up.

Best one right now "out of the box" for stability and battery life is probably Talon v1.0... Followed closely by CarbonROM. The would be my two daily driver choices at this time.

I'm impartial to Infection myself... And to answer your question, yes, just pull the boot.img and you should be able to load just about any rom.
The most stable roms are going to be the ones based off ice cream sandwhich though, since we don't have JB officially.

sorry if i get the wrong point, it means at least u ever success in getting gsm work in talon rom though just edge or never get the gsm can be enabled in talon?
honestly it' not a big problem for me if my rezound become cdma only (back to its nature ) coz gsm data connection is worse than the cdma in my country, it's for the first reason and the second one however i'm still need the gsm because that's my main gsm number so when it still in stock i use cdma and wifi only for internet and switch gsm yeah just for message and telephone for a while because i haven't decided to get nexus 4 or G2 for full internet functionality and other stuffs as my main gsm android phone #not a working phone number (pretty interesting promo price here for nexus 4 and G2 in my country :victory: ).
i've posted it at talon thread about my problem and wanna know other users's experience for gsm /global network, but it seems too quiet there.

Since Google built 4.4 to run with older devices with 512mb. Pulling the 4.4 image and installing on our device shouldn't be too difficult.
This thread I put up for us to collaborate info to see what we can do to get this to work. Once a completed install fully works a new thread can be put together for a complete how to install.
Lets put our community heads together and get a full stock 4.4 KitKat build for all EVO LTE owners.

The CM team is currenty figuring out what needs to be added or changed / merged in to the CM10.2 code to turn this in to 10.3 Once they are done I am sure we will see one populate for the LTE.
Kushdeck has already started compiling 4.4 kitkat cm builds, it's awesome
OK. So here is my question. Can't the build of 4.4 just be built to run on our phone? Does there have to be a special kernal or firmware or both in order to build a full stock of what Google put together just just run as intended for what specs we have?

No, it can't just be built. The nexus device's differ than our device. In theory yes it could be built fairly quickly and easily but this isn't a perfect world. Cm is built by having a device tree, that's the core think of it as well a tree, this is what tells the computer its compiled on what files and resources are need to make the software function with the hardware, now think of a tree growing leaves but some sections are bare or bald the compiler/developer then has to sort out why that area is not functioning correctly its a long process and it takes time. Basically our device and the nexus software dont fit so the process takes longer for a build to come out. Hope this have you some insight I tried to avoid going on and on and being to detailed and typing in binary.

I know you want a stock build but kushdeck just made a version of CM, and that is as close to stock as I think you are gonna get.

I am running this on my phone and compared it to a friend's Nexus 5. I found very few differences in customization, mostly in the default apps that were loaded and backgrounds/bootloader things. Also ART works on his phone, while it doesn't work on mine. Overall it is pretty close to stock.
Thanks for the info. That does clear it up.

no need to update your hboot. update your radio man, you'll see better 4G and 3G signal.
I'm pretty sure captain suggested update hboot around page 18 in decks thread. Thought he said it had something to do with mounting or reading partitions correctly. I reluctantly updated mine.

Yeah, I did, but the change that was going to require it is now not going to happen. Though updating to the rumrunner hboot does provide access to ENG commands which can be useful in a crisis.
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)

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.

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.

No, he cannot. That's what "No, you can't have it... Yet" means.

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?
