Any news on official Sense 5 update? - HTC Droid DNA

Still have been waiting for the Sense 5 official update, can't find anything on it anymore. Getting real tired of HTC/Verizon's crap -_-

It's supposedly being tested right now. You can always root and use the sense 5 rom if you're tired of waiting.
Edit: Deadline for 4.3 on the DNA is the end of September. So hopefully they'll throw in Sense 5. Android Police

I've been following a few Android news sites. I don't remember specifics but I thought I heard something about this being available in 4.2.2 . A quick google search shows that atodd.94 was right. Looks like the last update was two weeks ago though. OTA updates are usually very slow. If you want it quickly, I can attest that NOS M7 3.0.1 (JB 4.2.2) and NOS M7 2.0.3 (JB 4.1.2) both work very well.

HTC USA responded to one of my comments asking about a timeframe on DNA updates, and I was told that they don't have info like that pre planned, and as they figure things like that out they tell us. Which I'm 110% sure is a load of bull-dooky.

Maybe that should say they do have it preplanned, but since Verizon tells them what to do, how to do, and what to say about the DNA, it isn't really preplanned at all. So as Verizon tells them, they tell us.

So basically it is preplanned, but HTC doesn't know squat about it.

There was a news article yesterday. HTC says they're updating the DNA by the end of September.

I can't wait for it to be out. I'm currently running 4.3, but I'm not sure if I'd go stock or not when it comes out.

Will we receive a redline VIII or digitalbath for sense 5?

These 2 roms by team nocturnal (correct me if i'm wrong) are simply amazing. When our phone finally receives android 4.3 with possible sense 5.5, will these roms get updated to 4.3 as well? I will have this phone for over a year to come as I am just a poor teenager who stumbled upon rooting and the android developement world with an LG Optimus S, and upgraded to the Evo 4G LTE in may of 2013.
Will major developers like NIN and sinistertensei still be developing for our phone?
apologizes if this is a dumb question. Just never know when a developer will move on.

Well we all know amazing roms don't always come from xda. Why don't you ask them personal via Private message. We don't even have sense 5 from HTC and most people doubt we'll see it from them. (As a OTA)

HTC has broken their promise's before, but with the update planned to go into sprint testing in mid january, It's very likely we will see it.
You do make a good point however, I just typed this on the go earlier.
Thread closure
As previously stated by another member, there's really no point in discussing matters like this, when the ROM's are not hosted on XDA.
It's better to post your questions on the Developers own websites. Just Google them. They're pretty easy to find.
So with that said, it's better off to close this thread.

Maybe 4.4.2 will come "Maybe"

Here comes a good reason to still hope that maybe we'll get 4.4.2....i contacted htc support and asked to publish the source code for the 4.2.2 kernel and sure i mentioned how bad it is that we won't be able to get 4.4.2 and look what they said to me... Just check the screenshot, I think we are in the right way!

This data was released March 24, 2014. The data in the chart says it all. It would be great if we had a kernel dev, maybe then we could have things like a fully working cyanogenmod for the AT&T version of the One X+ or even a Sense 5.5 port. Maybe something screwy is with the 4.1.1 kernel, I don't know. All I know is even if we don't get anything, this phone is still a decent phone and I'm tired of HTC. I sincerely wished I bought a Nokia Lumia. The camera on that phone is AMAZING.
I agree that what HTC replied is a pretty standard answer. Unfortunately, nothing good will be coming our way.
To have 4.4.2 with htc sense 6 will give experience like HTC One m8
Lets hope for the best.

This ain't gonna happen, support for One X+ has been dropped, they may release the source code, but no updates will come. We still can't obtain S-Off even after two years. I'm sticking with Stable CM ROMs.

That tells absolutely nothing, its generic response. 4.2.2 will not come, its simple not possible without sources from Tegra, even Nvidia is dropping from manufacturing CPU processors..
Hi can you tell me how the individual components (nvidia tegra source, Android 4.4.2 and kernel source, S-OFF etc.) hang together?
im new to the HOX + and at the moment I still have a lot of fun with experimenting and tweaking .. but how "future-proof" is HTC or the One X +?
Thanks for answers
HOX+ enrc2b, ARHD8.0, Elitekernel3.1.10 modded
It's not. It's actually ALREADY discontinued, and has been for a while now. The last update is and was the 4.2.2 with Sense 5. Nothing will come after this, as HTC claims nVidia dropped support for the SoC on the One X and One X+.
To conclude, the One X/One X+ is not at all future-proof. It's already in the past.
Hm damn. Then I have probably bought the wrong phone :S
thanks for the reply.

You can still use some original Android 4.4 ROMs (no Sense, thus), they work (mostly) good on our phones.
yeah. the most I've tested... AOKP, CM.. 4.2-4.4 versions but i love the look of sense.
well, then I now have just enough time to play around with xposed: D
Hi! Whether there are any news concerning Kit Kat or already it won't be because of Tegra?
It won't be.

Hello,
I'm also afraid we won't get the official HTC update to 4.4.2.
Which is in your opinion the best ROM to use for everyday useage ?
I want to get a smartwatch, but they all require at least android 4.3 and I'm stuck on 4.2.2..
Thanks.

That's exactly my problem as well. If only HTC had given us at least 4.3, so that the One X+ would be compatible with Android Wear.
the htc one m7 can be had for the same price as the one x+ now. just sell your x+ and get an M7

[Q] Lollipop for Droid DNA

Hello, I noticed from the HTC website that the Droid DNA will not be getting the Lollipop update at all. Is anyone here planning to build a ROM for the DNA based on Lollipop? A quick search in this forum didn't turn up much. I haven't rooted this phone yet but would be willing to in order to keep getting updates. I think it's ridiculous for HTC to stop supporting this device, as the hardware specs are still up there with even the brand new phones coming out.
Assuming from your post that you're looking for sense updates. I'd be surprised if someone doesn't get a lollipop version up for sense. I plan on keeping Team EOS going for the DNA, so there's always that if you're into the whole aosp thing.
Are you gonna build a lollipop eos?

That is what his post says. Once eos uses 5.0 sources it will just be the painful task of getting it to work on the DNA.
OP: once the M7 gets 5.0, I suspect @santod040 would port to the DNA when he has time, if it works. From what I have read and seen, the M7 and DNA have similar enough internals to make a port trivial in the right skilled hands like danjul and santod

Sounds great. I don't care about Sense. I absolutely hate that Verizon is dropping support for future updates to this phone. Its specs are just as good if not better than many brand new phones (*cough* iPhone 6 *cough*). I look forward to following the development!

Lollipop?

Info varies, but last i heard the Lollipop upgrade was coming in late march. Its approaching and will pass within 2 weeks. My question is how are RUUs released? Can we expect it to be available around the same time the ota surfaces?

Well now im wondering if it were to come tomorrow, should i update?
We can have s-off for a fee but i noticed on the sunshine thread people were waiting to use it because they updated. Im not sure its worth the 25 bucks for me but also dont want to update then possibly regret it...
Right now im just searching for more info. Not even sure i need to return to stock to run sunshine but after trying the installer i now know i need to uninstall xposed.

I already own HTC One M7 and I have CM12 on it.
My Desire 610 will be stock and that's that. I don't care about anything, just need that Lollipop update.
Also I think that the release won't be this month. Probably the end of April but it's only my assumption.
Hopefully it's wrong.

Wouldnt surprise me. Originally sources stated the 3rd quarter of 2015 then someone here said march, and when i checked that was also true???
As far as s-off...im on the fence. Having it doesnt mean instant development of custom roms. This phone's coming up on a year and i get the feeling that ship has sailed. Essentially looks like itll be stock anyways. I only get the red message when booting to recovery so $25 isnt justifiable. But im hoping to have a reason to get it soon...
Well they missed the target with lollipop in march and now we're approaching mid April...of course this isn't news to most all of you but when I go to HTC ROM downloads site I see that ruu hasn't changed in a long time. Anyone know how that works? Do they only release certain updates in ruu format?
I'm just wondering if they'll put it on the site in a timely fashion or if I'm better off locking it up again and unrooting to take the ota...
I dont think we will have lollipop on this device, the infos about it are not official.
anyway correct me if im wrong

We would sooner get 4.4.4. Lollipop is just a fantasy on this device unless someone builds it for us.

This is Not the particular article I read but if I find it I'll post it. Seems the device is more than capable of running it. I don't understand the business aspect entirely but I think since its still a relatively new phone they'd want to push the latest os.
Edit--most definitely right in assuming we won't be getting it soon. I remember reading awhile back 610 would be getting it in the 3rd quarter (probably early fall?) But then someone posted a "leak" here saying march or April the latest. Of course I was willing to believe. Now I see a schedule that puts us in what looks like the 4th quarter! Who knows...I think we'll get lollipop, I'm just not certain I'll still be using this phone when we do.

I think that leaked schedule online is accurate (which means I may not be using lollipop) I can't justify buying it now but I'm considering an s4 from swappa. Its not a definite but if lollipop doesn't come till around Xmas...that's a long time to wait. By that time other users might be anticipating the next OS!

these forums are dead because of 2 reasons:
1) the M9 was not much of a upgrade from the M8
2) overheating issues

yup...I think a lot of people didn't see the M9 as a real upgrade to the M8 and only for those who didn't jump from M7 to M8 combined with the horrible press about the overheating (I've yet to experience) and camera (love the camera updates for what I use it for) and whining about it not being 4k (seriously, who needs that on a phone?) means it's not been a very popular device.
Screw 'em...I think it's a huge upgrade from the M7, especially the camera (even in it's original iteration).
Many thanks to @OMJ @benny3 and @chas123 for supporting this device.

This maybe true but another thing to point out is that this phone is so complete that there is hardly anything left to mod or add. I'm mean the only thing left for you to add to the phone is to add the 5.1 update to your ROM. Other then that your ROM is so complete its been on REV 24 for over a month with nothing else to add or tweak. Of course there is the point you already made that this phone being so close to the M8 that your ROM was already matured through the M8 days.

I could agree, but I'm still looking for a CM/AOSP flavor to rock on mine... And not to mention before the latest updates, we could still flash all those feature loaded ROMs. But lately, I'm hesitant to flash anything other than BadBoyz.

This is especially true when it comes to theming. You pretty much can theme it the way you want very easy. Im not a big themer or theme design, this latest Android 5.1 is very difficult to theme. Since its still new quite a bunch of apks are not compiling correctly and im not that skilled yet or have the time lately to figure out why, LOL. Other then the Viper Theming threads not much Theming has been going on throughout all HTC M9 versions.
You are better running badboyz for sprint, our firmware is extremely sensitive and with so many international versions using their base, our lte issues arrise of we aren't using a rom that supports our phone properly.

Traded my flex2 for a HTC One m9, rooted it, unlocked it, and then I installed badboyz the very first day. Love it. I'm so used to having cm/aosp on all my devices and I customize the crap out of them but I have to say that I have hardly seen any lag or performance issues on this phone. The phone gets pretty warm when doing heavy tasks like playing a game and what not but I don't find it any different then other devices doing the same tasks.
Either way, I love the m9. It's a well built solid device. I jumped at the chance to trade haha. Their loss

I will say this is probably the least active forum I have seen out of all the HTC's I have own which is every flagship for Sprint since the evo 4G (even going back to TP1 & TP2). That being said, OMJ's badboyz is awesome I have been using it since I got the phone. There is also no red text hboot and custom splash screens just like my M8 had. I like this phone, while really not much different from my M8 besides the camera it's not as big of fail as people make it out to be. I'm hoping the M10 is a nice refresh and hopefully HTC is done with trying camera gimmicks. I would like to see higher resolution screen next year & wireless charging.

The majority goes on in the overall m9 forum and not sprint as I guess devs don't want to check multiple forums.

I really don't see where development is lacking. As many have said there are quite a few roms in the main m9 forum that offer sprint support. If you look at the cm development device tree sprint support is added. What's missing?
LeeDroid, and Insertcoin drains horrible.......... lol any suggestion?
