I'm sure someone out there has a system dump of the J Butterfly. If you could find it you could just dig out whatever extras you want and install the apks.

That would be sweet. I want those wallpapers too! And who knows what other goodies could be found in Butterfly...

Those do look nice. I want!

Butterfly comes out in December, right? Maybe we'll get those wallpapers then...

You know what I was wondering? Think we could put the butterfly back on the DNA? I think that would great. is it the exact same phone? or a little different

What butterfly? You mean the back cover??

Yes I'm sorry. I meant "I wonder if we could use that hard back from the J-Butterfly on our phones". Like when you replace a broken screen. They have a procedure to take everything out and put back together. So i'm wondering if getting the backs of of these things is do-able. Just a wish. No big deal either way. just throwing it out there. I don't even know if the phones are exact or just similar.

If I'm not mistaken, the back is a totally different shape. Also the lens and led arrangement is different.

He means this wallpaper: http://www.esato.com/news/viewimage...TtzOjE6InAiO2k6MTtzOjE6ImciO3M6MzoiMjQ0Ijt9#2

Yes you are correct AMD. Didn't even notice that till you said it. So much for that bright idea. Thats why you guys are Pro's and I'm a moron. Thanks

I just noticed that Butterfly has a 4x5 layout. Why do we have 4x4?

Email HTC and let us know.

From what I can tell it looks like most the J Butterfly home shots I'm seeing they are using an HTC widget that includes customizable shortcuts on the left and a clock at the bottom center.. I forgot the name of the widget but it was in Team BAMF's "Son of Bliss" ROM for the thunderbolt...

it should be *relatively* simple to use the bliss-esque quick launch widget with the DNA, assuming that the butterfly j release version indeed includes that
can just take the fusion.apk and widget and make it an optional install in aroma for roms
or if the widget doesnt depend on fusion (did previously) then should work as is....or if need be with either sense versioning disabled (havent looked at it on jellybean) or just a change in the manifest

My real Rezound modifications

You all know that douche Dallasskater. He is NOT my friend and never will be. I created an account to prove everything. He was telling everyone that I modified my rez extremely. Which I did but not that drastic. Then he started making it sounding like it was fake and made a poorly Photoshopped benchmark which looked bad.
All I did was make it slcd to slcd 2, upgraded to S4 1.7gh. No I did not upgrade the battery. I just saw a slim battery on amazon which was 1950mh and was for Rez so I bought it. No I did not install imagesense chip which I think he said I did. Mainly SLCD2 and S4 Chip. Also upgraded 2 Gig ram.
REAL Benchmark screenshot
I dont know what else to show you to prove. I can show whatever you want to prove I did except open up the phone. I had a hard time unscrewing the device the time I did because the grooves on the screws are bad and don't want to ruin them anymore.
this sounds even more fake than the other............

fine I kind of figured no one would believe me. So I guess I wont be showing you how I did it then will I. Oh yea I forgot to tell you I work for HTC and I'm really not suppose to show you this or tell you about this. I suggested about a Rezound HD and showed it to rest of HTC but they decided not to and went to the One X+ because the original One X got more sales. I got to keep the prototype since I modded it.
I have a PhenomII X6, 26GB of RAM, the new LG Nexus motherboard and screen INSIDE my Rezound, and it transforms into the new 2013 Porsche Cayman. Also, because Android still sucks even the newest Jelly Bean, I installed iOS6.5 (The new developer beta version of iOS7, unreleased. I actually got this straight from an inside source inside of Apple
I am willing to prove it too, just tell me what you want to see, except for actual pictures. That isn't possible anymore because the phone is also now invisible, after I installed an invisibility cloak casing. Seriously though, I really did these mods. I'm super cool and you guys should all like me.

But why call it a Rezound HD? Working for HTC, you should already know that the Rezound, in fact, has an HD screen already. Does this one you made have beats audio? If not, it's an obvious downgrade.

Sense 5 pics leaked

Seems like Sense 5 pics leaked from htc next flag ship m7.
Do you guys like it? And do you would love it to see on your hox+? And more importantly, will we even get official update? (in time)
Here are links to 3 articles (one from engadget and 2 from some asian sites):

For me personally it seems quite ugly and looks like a metro style ripoff.
Looks nice, I'd really love to use it on my hox+.
I`m afraid that 1 GB of RAM and Tegra 3 is not enough to carry on SENSE 5 by HTC...

I'd be more worried the m7 device looking that ugly, lol! Looks like regular sense to me, maybe a few different options but I'm sure nothing ground breaking that you'll need 4gb of ram and a 2.8ghz quad core device to run.
Looks much better, and elegant. No more gradient notification bar.

That would be crazy if the HOX and HOX+ were not upgradable to Sense 5. It would mean only M7 and yet to be released phones and maybe just the Droid DNA would run Sense 5. Now timing on release would be my bigger concern. So if the M7 is coming in April, based on HTC's history, when would people expect the Sense 5 upgrade to come after that? I'm assuming we would get the Sense 5 upgrade in conjunction with Jelly Bean 4.2 and there won't be a Sense 4+ release on Jelly Bean 4.2
In terms of looks, I personally like Metro, but the screenshots here make it look like a bad knock-off. It's probably just the getting started screen/widgets, hopefully the finally product with live widgets look better.

There was a "rumour" that ONE series wont get SENSE 5
Sense looks just slightly different. I wonder how much is actually different.
The M7 looks so ugly though. I was considering maybe swapping my HOX+ for one after I heard the rumors, but now that I can see it there's no way. I mean what is HTC thinking putting the recents button in the center? Why aren't they using on-screen buttons? Why does it look just like a WP8 device?
I was hoping for more from the next flagship device.

Got the same thoughts... X+ looks much much better! Why the hell they rearanged the buttons?! They should bring back search button instead of multitask

I think metro looks better than anything android has to offer. I'm only not there yet because of some app / carrier support. So I'd welcome sense 5.

They are on screen buttons by the look of it you can see the bezel below the buttons if you look carefully the bezel is a bit more black

Looks like a step backwards to me, personally if this is it and the way the M7 will look like, I'll keep my upgrade and see what Google and Moto produce with their X phone

Theres no doubt our device can run it. HTC are taking a more minimalistic approach to sense 5, as they believe sense has become too bloated. Obviously this will lead to a reduction in resource requirements.

Who on XDA waits for official releases?

Help convince me....

....to go from a DNA to a Note 2 and now possibly back to a DNA. I know certain users around here might drop their jaws by looking at this post based on my posting history, but I'm considering it.
I must confess, I'm a phone whore. I get bored pretty easily and always like to try new phones, etc. I had a S3 before my original DNA purchase and then I returned that for a Note 2. But now I'm kind of bored with the Note 2. I think since I had the S3 before it, I'm kind of bored with Touchwiz.
There is a guy from my local Craigslist who is willing to do a trade of the phones and he will throw $50 on top. My phone and his are both in mint condition with all of the original accessories, etc. What do you guys think of the deal?
Also, before I consider it any further, I have a few questions:
1. He said the new OTA is installed and it's not rooted. From the quick reading here, there currently isn't a root method for the new OTA. Will there be any time soon?
2. I've seen both sides of this, but will Sense 5 be a realistic possibility? Whether official or unofficial, it doesn't matter to me.
3. Do any of the current custom ROM's make the home screen scrolling any faster? This is one of the biggest ones for me. I just didn't like the slow animations while scrolling the home screens. And please refrain from saying "just install Nova". I know that would help, but I'm talking about Sense.
I need to make a decision by tomorrow, so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Convince me! LOL.
Thanks!

You are correct in the fact that you are currently unable to root it. And no one knows when a new root method will come out. It could be tomorrow, it could be next month, it could be never.

Unofficially, of course. Officially, its likely, but not certain. Someone, nits iirc, said it's been built and in the hands of verizon already. So that's good news.

I like both screens. Depends to me if u want a huge phone or a phablet
Also. If you are like me I'm around a charger quite often so battery doesn't bother me. The DNA did pretty well to last the day on decent use but my usage varies

If it's unlocked then I would get it, if not I would pass.
I believe it will get Sense5.
As for roms making the home screen scrolling faster, idk since I use Nova, but Supercharged Hatka has a lot of speed tweaks.
If I were you I would wait for the S4 since you already tried the DNA and would be tempted to get the S4 when it comes out.

I prefer the size, feel, appearance and screen type. I have not used an LCD in awhile but I really like it at this point.
The note 2 felt like I had a mini tablet in my pocket and this feels like a normal phone.
The grippy material HTC used for the back of the phone makes it very easy to hold in one hand and the shiny plastic on the Note 2 made it difficult.
The shiny appearance of the note 2 was very flashy and it did look enormous compared to most phones where the DNA comes across as a normal ish phone size.
While the battery life on the note 2 was better than the DNA, I've been getting an average of 15-20 hrs per charge with what I would describe as moderately heavy usage.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Theres nothing better with the DNA. Screen is very subjective (LCD vs amoled). Size is also, depends on person( 1 handed use with note 2/no skinny jeans here) .
I believe with the newest its there is not a way to root/soff yet. And hopefully the devs will provide sense 5. From what I hear Verizon isn't the quickest at releasing updates but that's why we have xda.
Scrolling has gotten better if comparing to intial release.
Personally my gadget addiction needed to try something else. Im currently revisiting the dna for the moment and no real complaints.
My current issue is with development(many slightly tweaked stock roms). Waiting to see what happens after HTC one release.
Samsung devices out of the box are slightly better. You can see all the little things they added when switching to HTC.
Verizon needs to stop touching things. Everything they added is extremely annoying. I'm not extremely hype about sense 5, all I see is a rss reader. Its very clean looking though.

The dna is gsm unlocked straight from Verizon. It means you can pop an at&t(or any other gsm carrier) sim in it and it will work. It has no relation to bootloader unlocking.

I think he would like it unlocked so he can mod it if he wants to, and he probably will.
Be sure you're okay with sense because you'll be using stock wayyyy more than you are used to on other phones. That's the biggest thing you'll notice - while there is good dev support, its nothing compared to n2/gs3 support. You're options will be limited and hence, you'll be using sense (or sense based roms) a whole lot. I switched back for the same reason, touchwiz gets boring quick. I am 90% confident that we'll be getting sense 5.0 so that's good. It may not be for another 2-3 months though Others and yourself are correct in saying that until superCID gets worked out for 2.x.x updates, you (we) are SOL and stuck with stock until further implementation. Because of this, again, hope you're okay with stock

Should I upgrade from the HTC DNA?

I've been debating whether or not it would be worth it to upgrade to the one from my Verizon DNA. I know there are talks of a "supercharged" version of the one.... But I also like the fact of being able to go down to AT&T and pick up one tomorrow on my day off
Anyone here come from a dna? Any thoughts, comments, ect are welcome. I don't usually post to forums. So here goes. Lol
Thanks

DNA has the same screen just bigger, same feel and look. Now with mods probably the same features. I guess it comes down to if you want to go with the metal or not. Plus doesn't the DNA only have 16 GB? those are the only upgrades. Plus a features here and there. Might not be worth it unless one of the above is a big deal to you.
Thanks. Your right. I'm wondering weather it would be a waste of money or not. Thanks for putting in perspective for me.

I don't think so, Verizon uses different radios. This MAY be possible with the sprint version but the DNA was special and had both CDMA and GSM. Just wait for Verizon to release, may take a while but it will be worth it. Remember that verizon won't activate just any phone. Usually it has to be one of theirs. It's not like GSM phones where you pop a sim in.

That's what confuses me, on my razr and the dna, the settings always change to gsm settings on vzw, and since I've had more freedom now I have an unlocked bootloader and soff, I flashed a eng hboot and able to flash a different radio. so with that being said, is the radio your speaking of the hardware radio or the firmware radio that comes out in software updates?

No it's hardware as far as I know. The devs confirmed that the CDMA and GSM versions are different. I would just hold off a month or so if you need it on Verizon

I would say upgrade.
Considering Verizon doesn't really play nice with HTC, you'll probably see a gimped or watered-down version of the One in a few months on Verizon if you're lucky. It'll likely have Verizon branding everywhere, a different hardware design so you need to buy new accessories just for it, and 16GB of storage with no room to grow.
I came from Verizon just for the One, and I think it was well worth it.

+1 I do not regret the switch one bit especially with the traveling I am planning to do in the future.

I'm coming from the DNA and I say upgrade.
IMHO... Nothing wrong with DNA except storage space. I don't need external storage but over time...32gb is a minimum requirement for me. The One camera is perfect for me as well. A lot of my shots are taken in low light and there's no smartphone on the market that compares in this aspect.
Lastly, the dev support is awesome right now and will only grow in time.

DNA has the same screen just bigger, same feel and look. Now with mods probably the same features. I guess it comes down to if you want to go with the metal or not. Plus doesn't the DNA only have 16 GB? those are the only upgrades. Plus a features here and there. Might not be worth it unless one of the above is a big deal to you.

Not true, put them side by side and you'll see that the One screen is brighter and "whiter". I like the screen on the One a lot more than the DNA, I dont regret changing phones one bit.
Also, if you have short stubby thumbs like me you can actually reach the other button, I had to use both hands on the DNA for that
I upgraded from the DNA, and I haven't regretted it yet.. The camera is a big difference, I love blinkfeed, and I love the new aluminum body.. plus I get lte, so way faster

Was thinking about switching from Verizon for the one but both of my lines are unlimited and was kinda worried about loosing it. Now Verizon is offering its customer's the option to buy a new phone with a down payment plus monthly payments and I keep my unlimited. Plus I have an inside tip about Verizon's version of the One.

not so necessary to change a new phone. my old phone was broken,so i got the htc one.
I'm using the DNA and the One right now.
Storage is a huge plus for me. LTE is nice, especially with unlimited data. And the One looks better.
But, if storage isn't a big deal for you, I wouldn't switch to the One. The two are very similar. Especially in performance.

2020 mAh battery vs. 2300 mAh battery <- this might be a big factor?

THIS. The battery life is better, believe it or not the screen is actually more crisp. The phone feels more high end, it does operate faster, no more WiFi notification spam, you can delete all bookmarks w/o rooting. Root is currently available, where it isn't for the current software on the DNA. More space, you get LTE and mms w/o GoSMS. This is all assuming if you were using the DNA on att like I was. I didn't think it would be much of an upgrade but after a day of use it is and worth it. I liked the DNA so much bc I was willing to use it on att w/o LTE and mms, but the ONE is for sure an upgrade.

Kit Kat..

I seen on my blink feed today that HTC president announced that Google edition HTC ONE get kit Kat in 15 days, unlocked international get in 30, and us carriers get it in 90 days..

That means they should just skip 4.4 and go to 5.0.... It would be an endless cycle

I'm actually impressed by HTC's devotion to it's customers - yes, the camera issue is definitely a bummer, but obviously it blind sided them.. as far as everything else, this phone is hands down the BEST Android phone ever made IMO.. and continuous prompt updates? Nexus Smeckshush I'll stick with my front facing Beats Audio and crisp PPI, solid/gorgeous construction and Sense UI. For a struggling company HTC is doing an amazing job.
Wow. Amazing.

You know, on 2nd thought, that Nexus 5 looks pretty enticing. I might just buy that and keep my One.

Have you seen their stock and internal turmoil lately? they NEED to show that devotion for customer retention, otherwise they will truly kick the bucket.
I have a suggestion for HTC or build in more functionality to Sense or scrap it and go straight to plane native Android UI and let people customize it how they wan't I think that its one of the things that is holding this phone (and all their future phones back)
running this on my htc one right now

I highly disagree. I just think HTC would allow S-OFF via HTC Dev like they do bootloader. I just converted my TMO HTC One to GPE HTC One just so I can get the latest and greatest Kit Kit when it comes out. And guess what about 90 days from now I will be converting back to TMO HTC One Stock Kit Kat.
I personally like how Sense is setup, it is fluid and minimalistic. It now has the ability to turn off Blink Feed so it is even better. I just wish HTC would give users the option to interchangeable select which OS they want without having to go through pains of making sure you can obtain a S-OFF phone.

I can say that in the middle of our disagreement I can agree with you about Sense, because that's one of the big reasons I pick HTC over any other provider. Now I do know this: everyone, everywhere says the same thing over and over "our phones are as powerful as that computer sitting on your desk" and the sad part is that it's true! But I feel that power hasn't been harnessed yet; there are so much more I feel that are phones should do and currently don't (txt and browse the web at the same time, of for that fact do anything in combination at the same time, and so much more)
And before I get slapped with the statement "Sammy does that", I know... I just feel that with the hardware we have today (which is pretty much the same across all phones, just minor difference like amounts of memory vs screen size and so on...) it wouldn't be a purchasing factor between manufactures but a standard thing in Android....

another forum has a flashable rom. you need the most up to date cwm recovery to flash. GE as well. im not sure what i can say on this forum. if its just linking to another forum or what. but head over to rootzwiki. they have everything you'll need there. its not 100% perfect but it gets the job done
I'm still in love with my HTC One and I have no idea why it didn't have more of an impact when released.
Apparently HTC is struggling with all it's other phones, they might as well perfect one phone like they did with the One.
What does everyone think?
Also I currently have kit kat installed on my One, if you want the ROM I can link you.

Errors
You're always gonna get some errors with a unofficial release. I too was running kitkat on my HTC One. The problem is the playstore. A lot of apps aren't available yet. But we don't have much longer to wait, HTC gave there software for the GPe HTC One to Google. Just have to wait for a release and a rom to be created by the great developers. :laugh:
