I tried UKB - which is very similar to stock, and then the Digital dream. The latter is gorgeous with its transparent apps menu. Only downside was the fatass Facebook app that I loathe. I could not uninstall it(let me know if I am missing something).
I just want to know what ROM you have on your DNA, and if you like it, why?

Im using battery plus rom and love it, the 320 dpi looks great, its stable i have yet to have any issues. only real gripe is that you have to unlock the phone to see whos calling but im using the app called Ultimate Call Screen which fixes that. and my battery on average lasts about 9-10 with a good amount of use. im waiting for a solid and stable CyanogenMod because i fell in love with it since my Evo
I'm on Viper, and you cannot dislike this ROM. It allows you to customize nearly anything you can think of. Tweaks galore.
Why would you want to reduce ppi from 441 to 321? DNA's selling point is its display.

Does it tweak ur ppi? I love streaming my home movies through XBMC and watch HD in this phone. I love the 441 ppi that this phone comes with.

Hatka DNA
Using Hatka DNA at the moment. Started off with MikROMs Codis because I was familiar with MikROMs from the Rezound and EVO3D but there were quite a few bugs in the rom and the Aroma installer, random reboots, freezing and so on with too much time in between updates.
Haven't tried any of the others yet. Taking a look at Viper. Getting great stability, battery life and speed with Hatka though.
Try digital dream. It's beautiful esp the app menu that's translucent.

I use GSM Virtuous Rom is really fast and stable, battery performance is certainly a little worse but I can live with it, just as I recommend the Virtuous team know yourself, the better even with the battery life, I can only continue

Current have an Inc, Hoping to switch soon. Just wondering, how is performance in 3d applications and gaming? Specifically N64oid. Thanks!

I don't have tons of info for you, but I can tell you this... N64oid wouldn't work at all on my fascinate, I could hear sound but no video at all.... Goldeneye 007 (the only game I really care about lol) plays on my tb, but it is a lil choppy, but the app is also very young so I think that has something to do with it....
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
True. It was also pulled from the market until the dev could improve it.
Would you mind trying Orcarina of Time? It runs about 70% speed on the Inc.
-CM7 ADR6300
I can tell you this, havenf played alot of games but this phone makes the dinc feel almost slow. And i LOVE the dinc. But the extra ram and upgraded processor really make for a flawless experience. If u are thinkibg about getting it. Do it

Super Mario 64 Runs Smooth Too. The Graphics are good enough. Way better than old gen Snapdragons SoC for shure. better than Droid X and on par or Near Galaxy S from what people say (Seems bout right to me too). Also to guy with Fascinate, Games worked good for me on my old fascinate. Maybe it depends on game.
I'm coming from the inc, and the performance is much better. Easiest way to tell is by using a live wallpaper. They are much smoother now with the better gpu.

I too came from the inc. It's definitely better in terms of performance especially graphics. The extra screen size makes everything more enjoyable too.

What would be a decent stable ROM that still includes most stock features, without MotoBLUR? I could give a crap less about 4G.
Stock just feels sluggish and stuttery compared to my Nexus S.

Are you looking for close to moto stock, minus blur, or close to aosp? If the former, I'd recommend Rocko or Shadow. If the latter, CM7.
On a side note, I always laugh a little at threads titled like this. At my house, I'm the tech savvy one, and my husband is usually lost, lol.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Nice. I wish I wasn't the tech savvy one. Gets old. But as far as AOSP or MB... honestly don't care. MB is going to have all the stock features, but she doesn't even use any Blur features.
I just want to put something on her phone that has a lot less lag, I suppose I could wait for the ICS OTA.

CM7.2 is an absolutely solid ROM. And its even still being updated!
Sent from my CM9 Electrify.
I'm using cm9 on my photon. with the overclock kernal to 1.4. it runs fast for me and it looks awsome.
[KANG][ROM] CM7.2 by Photon Dev team is kickassss!!! Really fast and stable and greattttt battery life! I get 25hrs on an average when i use my phone moderately... ie about and hour of wifi and some calls
I get a quadrant score of 3600+ lol and its super quick! Use it with launcher pro.. thats what I like as i feel it makes the phone super fast..
Alternatively, you could leave it stock and try a 3rd party launcher. I am currently using Go Launcher EX and it's really snappy.
I was looking at a gs3 and my EVO side by side. I know that both have the same processor.
What I wanted to know is why does Sammy seem to be able to make the interface so smooth? Don't get me wrong,this phone is HTC's smoothest yet, but the frame rate is still not as consistent as the galaxy. They both have similar insides and are built upon the same os, so what does Sammy do to achieve this?

Your asking the evo 4G lte forums why the s3 is so smooth?
Honestly, it's probably sense, but touchwiz looks like crayola designed it

I agree, it is probably Sense. But I have used both, and I would take Sense over TouchWiz any day.

I def agree. People like touchwiz because its bright and catches your eye quickly. But underneath, its weak.

I think HTC is a poor software company. Grand ambitions but they never execute really. And, I don't get it really. I bet they literally lose sales due to the stutters in the sense launcher.
I really loved sense. It's aesthetically pleasing, efficient, and has some of the best widgets I've used. But the stutter when switching home screens was too much. I mean, devs can lock down the framerate and eliminate lag but HTC doesn't think to do that? Blows my mind.
Again, its the sense launcher. Rather than root, I installed novalauncher. Smooth as butter. Significantly smoother than sense. And, the launcher is installed on top of sense. Shows you how great the hardware is and how poorly optimized sense is.
Maybe we'll get an OTA that'll address these issues. I hope so. I did read somewhere ages ago that HTC only had 4 months to design sense 4.0 so that may be the source of the problem. Maybe they've got something up their sleeve when they roll out jellybean.
Try a launcher like apex or nova prime if you want a smoother experience.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
the current launcher is actually not that bad, as i am using the enhanced stock rom. its just always stymied me why the frame difference, and I agree that it seems that Samsung has slightly better programmers.
But honestly Sense definitely has more utility than touchwiz
So I just randomly came across this on flipboard, I found the UI to be intriguing!!
Part of me isn't sure if the DNA would be able to run the software very well, at least not without a lot of work, and I have no coding experience. I, however, think it would be awesome to run this on the DNA. If there are any Devs out there that would be able to get ahold of the software and would be able to attempt cooking this for the DNA I would be very happy and excited to run this UI.
Here is a video of the UI:

Yeah, it is definitely Windows-espue on the middle screen, but more advanced (I can see how some might find it slightly cluttered, I like it though). The right screen seems very much like the Android UI, just flipped at 90° (vertical page scrolling vs. horizontal). I would be fine without the left sceen; I guess it would make finding certain things a little easier though.
I just wish/hope some of the awesome devs in the DNA community would be able to get ahold of this and make some magic!

I find the warping animations a bit ugly, and have never been a fan of HTC's UI design in general. I would definitely prefer Windows Phone.
its not exactly HTC its more like a custom rom for a custom device....its KDDI Japan's custom UI (heavily modified sense rom), running on their device

Hi All,
I have been running Viper 1.2 for some time now and really am anxious to get on something new.
I have no interest in running AOSP or any variations.
Could I get suggestions of what might be my best option (not buggy) that I could use as a daily driver for a little while.
I like what I see for Sense 5 ROMs too.
Thanks!
newts Sense 5 Rom. The best, I have tried them all.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
In order to get a good answer you need to be more specific with your question.
What is important for you to get from the rom?
Battery life? Performance? Eye candy? or may be its CM?
Anyway, i guess you should change your question a bit before one of the mods will delete this thread
Xda doesn't allow threads to compare roms your going to have to try them yourself because I can guarantee that a mod will close this soon.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
I didn't ask for a comparison....I need a good non buggy Rom for a daily driver with some nice bells and whistles and just asked for an opinion. Would prefer sense 5. I know the rules.

Mustafa's Hatka Supreme ROM works great and has amazing battery life. The only issue I've had so far was getting MMS to work but it was an easy fix.
Agree with those who said newts Rom. It is by far the most bug free and customized Rom. Through a custom kernel on it and you'll never look back.

My battery usually has to be put on the charger at around 10 pm and I get up at 6 for school. Granted I probably don't use my phone as much as most people here since I'm in class all day. I'm on stock.

I get excellent battery life. I'm running Viper 1.2 with Zarboz' kernel (stock settings).
I just took a look and it says I still have 83% battery after 6 hours 47 minutes on battery. Usage: several texts, phone calls, syncing with my Jawbone UP band, checking email; light to medium use I guess.
All the ROMs are great. I observed a slight better battery life on the Sense5 ones though. Since I am not a big fan Sense5, especially the blink feed, I get bored with it the very first day. This big bright HD screen is made to show bright and beautiful colors. Not just black and white. Sense 5 still looks sharp though. My main reason to keep going back to ViperDNA is the sound. On it my phone shakes the Beats Solo HD and vibrates the Studios (with PowerAmp of course, Sony xLoud and the Beats mod from eriknors' thread). It doesn't feel as strong and powerful on the other roms. I mostly use two songs for test: Go Hard or Go Home by E-40, Fuel by Metallica.
Everything is opinion based on what you like. But who MIKE D has something awesome coming.
