While plenty of Android users prefer the vanilla OS experience, manufacturer-created skins persist, like HTC's updated [Sense 5 UI](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/19/htc-one-software-hands-on-sense-5-blinkfeed-sense-tv-and-new/) debuting on the latest [One flagship](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/19/htc-one-hands-on-design-and-hardware/). HTC's [Droid DNA](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/16/htc-droid-dna-review/) will almost certainly receive this new version in the future -- the handset maker has [confirmed](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/28/htc-confirms-sense-5-coming-to-existing-phones-some-features-li/) it's coming to the Butterfly, a [DNA variant](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/07/htc-droid-dna-butterfly/) -- but if you're partial to flashing, you can get your fingers on it right now. _XDA Developers_ member newtoroot clearly isn't lacking the expertise their handle suggests, and has taken to the site's forum to offer a beta build of Sense 5 for the DNA. Bear in mind it's a beta, but everything is said to working bar MMS and the new [Zoe camera mode](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/19/htc-one-imaging-in-depth-ultrapixel-camera-and-zoe-share/). If you've got the hardware, know your way around a ROM and are up for toying with HTC's latest skin, head to the source link for the file and thread.
