HTC Droid DNA gets an early taste of Sense 5 thanks to beta ROM

While plenty of Android users prefer the vanilla OS experience, manufacturer-created skins persist, like HTC’s updated Sense 5 UI debuting on the latest One flagship. HTC’s Droid DNA will almost certainly receive this new version in the future — the handset maker has confirmed it’s coming to the Butterfly, a DNA variant — but if you’re partial to flashing, you can get your fingers on it right now. XDA Developers member newtoroot clearly isn’t lacking the expertise their handle suggests, and has taken to the site’s forum to offer a beta build of Sense 5 for the DNA. Bear in mind it’s a beta, but everything is said to working bar MMS and the new Zoe camera mode. If you’ve got the hardware, know your way around a ROM and are up for toying with HTC’s latest skin, head to the source link for the file and thread.

Huawei shows off early version of Emotion UI for Android, packs a ‘stock’ skin too (hands-on)

Posted in: Today's Chili

Huawei didn’t have any new hardware to show during its packed press conference, but it did have an early version of its Emotion UI skin for Android devices. Aiming to make its smartphone experience a little gentler for first-timers, while offering up a slightly different flavor of Google’s OS, Huawei’s been polling its customers, running user experience salons and meeting regular groups of between 40 – 70 consumers to understand what was working — and what was definitely not. To this end, the company’s “driven [itself] crazy” by keeping to a tight schedule and releasing iterative updates every two weeks (at least for beta) and monthly for stable builds.
