Install HTC One Based Sense 5 ROM on HTC Droid DNA


Note: If this tutorial worked for you (and it should work), please leave a comment below. Thanks.

Actually, the HTC One based ROM was ported to Droid DNA last month but since it was very new then and had some bugs, we waited for it to be perfected. According to the developer, the ROM is 99% functional and has only a few minor bugs that most users will not be able to even notice. The only big feature on the HTC One (M7) that is not working in this port in the HTC Zoe.
Disclaimer: Please note that the procedure described here is not meant for noobs since it is considered risky. Proceed only when you understand such things and at your own liability. Either the developer, or Droidviews will not be responsible for any damage done to you device. Also, do not try this ROM on any other device than the Droid DNA.
Prerequisites: So, if you are ready, we would walk you through the procedure step-by-step to get the HTC One based ROM up and running on your Droid DNA. But before that, you need to make the following preparations. Make sure you have any of these variants of the Droid DNA: GSM, Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile.

  • Your device must have an unlocked bootloader to install this ROM. If you have not yet unlocked your Droid DNA, read the Tutorial Given Here.
  • Make sure your phone is rooted and a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP  is installed on it. In case it is not rooted, you can do it following This Easy Guide.
  • Charge your device and backup your contacts, apps, call-log, messages, etc. You can use These Apps for the purpose.
  • Go to phone Settings> Developer Options> USB Debugging and turn it on.
