CyanogenMod 10 port for the Droid DNA gets a working Radio

A few days back we had reported that efforts were on to port CyanogenMod 10 to the Droid DNA. Well, some good progress was made last night, the port now has a working radio (and by radio I mean network access & data). Historically, the radio or ril (as the developers call it) is one of the hardest thing to port on Sense devices.

The ROM is still a work in progress and is not a daily driver as of now , but expect that to change very soon.

Working:
Radio/RIL (no sound, so can't hear yet)
SMS / MMS
3G / 4G Data
Display
Orientation
Sensors
Lights
NFC
Torch
GPS (but unconfirmed as playstore is crashing)

Not working:
Camera
Wifi
Audio

FacePalm S-OFF comes to HTC One VX

A few days back we published news about the FacePalm S-OFF, well the S-OFF method can now be used to S-OFF the HTC One VX.

Head over to the original thread over at xda forums on how to S-OFF your HTC One VX.

HTC One in Red!

At the press conference today the press shots of the HTC One only had 2 color options, the black and the silver.

Well if you head over to http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one/#overview you will see the third color option which is red.

 






It looks like HTC has a liking for the color red and I am pretty sure the red One will sell like hot cakes if it is ever released.

HTC One is now Official

After all the rumors and leaks, the HTC One (supposedly was to be called HTC M7) is now official.
The device was officially unveiled by HTC today.

The specs of the One are pretty impressive:-

• 9.3mm thick, 137.4mm long, 68.2mm wide
• 143g
• 1.7 Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 600 with Adreno 320 GPU
• 2GB of RAM with the option of 32/64 GB of internal storage
• 4.7-inch Full 1080P Super LCD 3 display 
• Rear Camera with 4 Ultrapixels (the new technology from HTC)
• Front Camera is 2.1 MP with 1080p recording
• 2300mAh Battery
• Android 4.1.2 with HTC Sense 5 and BlinkFeed

What is interesting is that the body is made from aluminum, let's hope we do not have GPS or Wi-Fi issues like we had on the Asus Transformer Prime. I guess HTC would have taken care of that but we will have to wait and see once the masses get their hands on the One.

The drawbacks would be:-

• no micro sd card support
• no Qi wireless charging
• uni-body design which makes the battery non-removable and spare parts expensive

The device will be released in Q2 of 2013 (which could be as early as March end) on all major carriers including AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint in the United States.

Facepalm S-OFF for HTC Devices released

Facepalm S-OFF for HTC Devices has been released. Please note you need to be rooted and have super CID for this hack to work. Below is the list of devices which are currently supported:-

• Droid DNA
• One X/L 
• HTC One S

Download link and instructions are available here.
 

Please read the instructions carefully & try at your own risk. Neither we nor the developers are in any way responsible or liable for any bricked devices.

Is HTC releasing an Ubuntu tablet tomorrow?

It's getting interesting, www.ubuntu.com has a countdown which coincides with HTC's press conference tomorrow where HTC is supposedly going to release the HTC M7 aka HTC One. The countdown says "Tick, tock, tablet time!".

We already know that Ubuntu images for the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 will be released on February 21st, and we also know that HTC quit the tablet market last year.

It could very well be that HTC had a change of mind and wanted to try something new, we may very well see the HTC One (or whatever they name it) tablet running Ubuntu at tomorrow's press conference. Just a little over 15 hours to go and we should know pretty soon what's coming from HTC.

Coming Soon - S-OFF for various HTC Devices

Earlier today we published a story that the Droid DNA had been S-OFF'ed, well it looks like the same S-OFF method will be used to S-OFF other HTC Devices as well.

We do not have a complete list as of now but below are the devices which have already been tested:-

• Droid DNA
• One XL
• One S

The device list most definitely grow as the exploit is tested on other HTC devices. What is interesting is the timing of this exploit, with the HTC M7 aka HTC One to be released tomorrow I guess we should have S-OFF on the One as well as HTC would not have got time to fix the exploit. Here's hoping that we get S-OFF for the One as well.

For updates on the release of the S-OFF and what other HTC devices are tested follow Justin Case on twitter.

 

S-OFF comes to HTC J Butterfly

The developers over at unlimited.io have brought S-OFF to the HTC J Butterfly. As of now it works on hboot 1.39 only. Please note this is for the Japanese version only, means it won't work on the Droid DNA.

A complete tutorial on how to s-off is posted on their website.

As always neither we nor unlimited.io are responsible for any damage done to your phone while trying this.

CyanogenMod 10 ported to Droid DNA

The Verizon exclusive Droid DNA is getting some custom ROM love from the developers over at xda-developers.com.

The ROM aims to port CyanogenMod to the Droid DNA, please note this is still a work in progress and is not fully functional yet.

What works:
Display
Orientation
Sensors
Lights
NFC

What doesn't work:
RIL
Camera
Wifi / Data
Audio

If you see the not working list above you will see why it can't be used as daily driver yet but if you want to play with CM 10 on your DNA head over to the original thread as a flashable zip and boot.img are available.

As always, flash at your own risk, neither we nor the developers are responsible for any bricked devices.
