If you own a HTC device that isn’t a HTC One, you’ve likely been waiting extremely patiently to hear any word regarding software updates to your HTC device, whether it be Android 4.3 or Android 4.4 KitKat. If LlabTooFer’s leak is correct, most devices newer than the HTC Bufferfly, also known as the HTC Droid DNA, can except to skip Android 4.3 in favour of Android KitKat, and that is expected to happen around March or April. But owing to the fact that HTC has already been late on its delivery of Android 4.4 to the HTC One, you can bet that these other updates will also be late. And that’s when the clever fellows over at XDA come in; thanks to them, the HTC Droid DNA gets Android 4.4.2 and Sense 5.5 far, far ahead of schedule.
The ROM itself technically isn’t a bespoke ROM for the HTC Droid DNA; it’s actually a port from the HTC One software so you will probably see all of the features that you’ve been hearing about on the One. The ROM is also completely stock and supports CDMA and GSM networks. It’s always great to see the community bringing out ROMs, particularly software versions that are slow to reach aging devices, and bringing them out way before their expected released date (if they’ve even been given one). If you want to try out this ROM, hit the XDA Forum link below to jump to the post.
Who has a HTC Droid DNA is going to try this stock port of Android KitKat? If you try it, let us know how you find it.
