HTC Droid DNA Android 4.4.2 With Sense 5.5 ROM Available

HTC Droid DNA Android 4.4.2 With Sense 5.5 ROM AvailableIts no secret that Android users often have to wait for a long time before OEMs released latest firmware updates. There are several steps involved in preparing an update for public release, which often holds it up for a long time. While HTC has talked about the KitKat roadmap for few of its devices, most presumably won’t receive the update till March or April. This is where the developer community has come in. Folks over at XDA forums have ported a stock Android 4.4.2 ROM from HTC One and ported it to the Butterfly, a.k.a Droid DNA.

HTC Droid DNA Android 4.4.2 With Sense 5.5 ROM Available

Since HTC Droid DNA Android 4.4.2 ROM with Sense 5.5 UI is a port, software features found on the HTC One will also be available in this ROM. Moreover, the ROM isn’t pre-rooted, though users won’t have a hard time rooting it once they’ve flashed it on their Droid DNA. There’s support for both CDMA and GSM standards, with odexed and deodexed builds being provided along with a patch to enable CDMA. Those feeling adventurous enough to flash this port on their device can get their hands on the ROM from here. Since this is an unofficial port after all, the possibility exists that everything might not be in absolutely perfect working order.

    Droid DNA Getting Android 4.2 With Sense 5 Soon On Verizon

    Just last month, we reported the Droid DNA would be receiving Android 4.3 by the end of September. It looks like HTC President Jason Mackenzie may have jumped the gun a bit, at least in regards to the Droid DNA receiving Android 4.3 on Verizon Wireless as the carrier has just announced they’ll soon be rolling our Android 4.2 onto the device.

    HTC One, Droid DNA To Receive Android 4.3 By End Of September

    HTC One, Droid DNA To Receive Android 4.3 By End Of SeptemberAccording to a report yesterday, it seems that HTC’s flagship smartphone, the HTC One, will not be getting the Android 4.2.2 update. Instead it will be skipping that update and go straight to Android 4.3 which we’re sure sits well with HTC One owners who might be worried that with Android 4.2.2, they could be left waiting a long time for Android 4.3 to arrive. Now for those who were wondering when would the update make its way onto the device, a recent tweet by Jason Mackenzie has revealed that the Android 4.3 update for HTC One owners in US and Canada is expected to see a release towards the end of September.

    Granted the end of September is a little over a month away, but to get the latest build of Android seems like a small price to pay. According to Mackenzie, the reason for the wait is due to the build requiring certification before it is pushed out. Mackenzie also noted that the update will arrive on the Droid DNA handset as well, HTC’s phablet attempt back in 2012. No specific dates but a rough timeframe has been given, so we will be keeping our eyes peeled for more info regarding a release.

    HTC One Source Code Has Been Released

    HTC One Source Code Has Been Released

    HTC has announced that the HTC One source code has now been released. Developers who have been waiting on it can now rejoice, as the source code can be used for creating custom ROMs as well as custom apps that only work with the HTC One. The company has a history of providing the source code for its devices, and it is no doubt much appreciated by developers. From a user’s point of view this release isn’t exactly of any value until developers come with with a whole range of custom ROMs and apps.

    The source code is for Vodafone UK and Vodafone France versions of HTC One, though that doesn’t really stop developers from creating ROMs for the device in general. Apart from this, HTC has also released the latest source code version for Droid DNA. The downloads are available right now from HTC Dev Center. The smartphone itself is yet to be released in the US, though it is expected to come out by the end of this month. While we’re on this subject, do check out our detailed HTC One review.
