I'm guessing it had to do with the agreement between HTC and XDA about early releases, infringement, etc.
Boo...!! (Although I understand.. Just a little disappointed because Newt was doing such a great job.)

Its a fine line we walk on here. In one hand HTC says we are going to make a developer phone. In the other hand they say Sense is closed source. Then with one of their feet they open HTCDEV.com .. its very confusing. HTC wants to be open but they want to protect there stuff too. Personally I don't blame them, I just want it to be fare.
It's not about HTC don't worry the thread will be open soon

When HTC is after you for copyright infringement, you would know.
They probably would notify him directly instead of through a moderator of an online forum.
On a different subject thanks to newt and zone.

Kernel source? Just guessing and I know xda has locked lots of threads due to it.

The Rom that was created by this team of people is awesome. It improves this device by leaps. I loved the stock version, viper version and now this "RealDNA" VERSION rocks. Super smooth and great new features. Thanks for making my phone a toy and not just a tool. I hope this problem was just a naming issue. I can't wait till newt names his baby.

Is this being considered or does anyone want it? Thought we'd have something because its an HTC device and the software would be more "easierly" ported? Surprised no one else has brought this up.
Isn't it just a launcher.

Facebook home is a launcher, yes. The intent of my question is the ability of the DNA developers to be able to port the htc first rom so that we can have an AOSP version of android that works full as HTC has made it rather than spending time doing it themselves reading over lines of code, logcats and so forth.

Just because HTC made it doesn't mean it's any easier to port to our device.

Dang, that was always my belief. Thanks for clarifying.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this. I think we should pool our efforts and provide a collective bounty to a dev that can successfully unlock the bootloader without having to flash 20b euro kdz.
I will start by officially offering $25. Come on, guys... we can do this.
UPDATE: Here is the total so far....
Me: $25
fastwanabe: $25
jpeterson066 $20
Total: $70

Nice to see somebody stepping up to put their money towards this. Since there's no development here, I think this will probably be moved to the general section.
Anyways, if somebody could figure out a way to automatically flash the European ICS firmware followed by the JB firmware, unlocking the boot loader would be as easy as enabling USB debugging then waiting 30 minutes, then inputting the OEM unlock code.
Even better, if a talented developer could reverse engineer the lg KDZ flashing tool like other developers did with ODIN, unlocking the boot loader and unbricking a soft brick would be so much easier.

I can reverse engineer the kdz tool ... not sure what changes I can accomplish (depending how much is encrypted, binary etc) but I will look into it.

The problem with offering money for this is, in a month or two when there's an easier method, you would've already successfully unlocked its boot loader because you did sufficient research and you didn't give up after you failed a few times. Granted some of the tutorials could be rewritten or simplified, I know the one I used was written in horrible English by an Indian fella and it took me a while.

Wonder if what I posted in another thread could be done. Porting djrbliss's Loki to our phone. I looked over it earlier on his git and its only for aboot images (no u) but it could still apply. I linked in the other thread to a very informative link about porting Loki (titled tried to port Loki and failed). Maybe somebody can ask him if he believes it would also work with u images and if its OK for us to try and port it....

Super cid is not a must.. It's a plus but not a must.. It's mainly for Asian users since we didn't get a official ics update so we had to s off and update our firmware using other carrier firmwares..

Can't wait till Verizon releasess KitKat for the Droid.!!! Phone can deffinatley run it with zero issues with it on KitKat now.
Of course VZW is always a bit on the slow side of approving...
I think what vzw was/is doing is updating all their other newer devices first (to get people to upgrade) before they roll out the updates to us older phone
This is just what it seems to me now that they have worked on the other HTC devices we are hopefully next unless another device comes along

I have zero reason to doubt that. After all it makes sense revenue-wise. Yeah the DNA is an "older" model. But it can still hang quite well with the newer ones. :good:

I'm in no rush for Verizon to push us Kit Kat. Look at some of the amazing Devs the HTC Droid DNA has. @nitsuj17 @santod040 @Zarboz , we don't need Verizon with them in the DNA forums.!!! I mean newer system files and a newer kernel with help the stability of the roms we have now and future releases. But besides that we are fine.!!
And I just joined the DNA forums but I've been in the android central forums and helped with many rims there so I have some experience with roms. And as soon as my post count goes up I might start a little something, something.!! A girl dev in the DNA forums.

Who knows Verizon is usually the one that causes updates to take forever. So when ever they finally feel it's ready and want to push it out is when we will see it. They said some time in April but I doubt it.
