All credit goes to the incredibly hardworking PA team! Rom was compiled from AOSPA and CM 11 for DNA sources.

I am NOT responsible for anything going wrong with your device after flashing this ROM

Thank you! We lost a few devs to other devices so it's always nice when we get new developers :)
Your welcome. I can't say I'm as knowledgeable as a lot of the devs on here and I don't get much free time, but I'll contribute what I can. :)

What do you think of the DNA?

The developers here are really great people, knowledgable, and and eager to help, so if you're stuck on something just holler!
I love it. I've had the DNA since July of this year and I've been around on the forums (don't think I had an account for a while at first) for both DNA and Nexus 7 (grouper) for a while, but this is my first time contributing. Got some free time during my Christmas break from school.

No. I installed without the patch and data worked fine on AT&T

Yea, I posted it there first since I did not have permissions here on XDA. But I lurked around some of the Help and General forums and helped out enough to get my post count high enough to post it here. I wouldn't abandon XDA haha :p

Running smooth. No major hiccups to report. Haven't dug in too deep yet, so don't know if there are any hidden (more like unused features to me) that aren't working as should.

Once this thing gets PIE + other PA goodies it'll be rock solid.

Good job OP. And thank you.
