[Q] Kernels and Such - Moto X Q&A

Hoping to pick up a dev edition monday when the sale starts (VZW) and coming from the razr hd im used to having arrgghs kernel where i have smartassv2 and intellidemand governors. Is one available for the moto x yet? And if not is there a device with the same chipset? Because i know with the HD we could use Photon Q and Atrix HD Kernels as well as our own

No and no.
Moto X has a new setup. No kernels yet

It does kind of suck but the Moto X is very good on it's own. The only ROM I've run so far besides stock was Eclipse by Nitro when he released one. Other than that I don't feel the need to change anything. Active Notifications and the Touchless Controls are top notch.

Bell unlocked bootloader

Just bought a bell attic hd with an unlocked bootloader. I know what unlocked bootloaders allow us to do, so my question is when will we see dev support for the unlocked variants?
How is it a unlocked bootloader

Everybody has the one x, s3, or iPhone... I personally want my phone to be a great phone first of all. Good battery life, great radios, built well, decent storage. Since i couldn't afford the RAZR HD maxx, here i am. I'm pretty happy. Could always be better but for what I paid or didn't rather, im excited.
I traded my iphone 4s for this phone, this phone is much faster and the only thing the 4s beat this in is camera. Other than that, this is way better. I habe the maxx battery in my atrix

Ordered the maxx battery. But need some unlocked bootloader love.

not true. my bell AHD doesn't have an unlocked bootloader.
i think the only ones claiming to have an unlocked bootloader are the ones who bought sim-unlocked Bell AHDs online.
And those ones probably don't come from the proper Bell retail channels since they all should come locked.

Any News/Rumors of 4.3 coming soon

title says it all. just wondering if anyone has seen new/rumors of android 4.3 coming for our moto x soon. i seen an article that said it would be sooner than later but that was the only thing i could find.
was wondering the same thing. with the N5 coming out soon though i'm wondering if they are looking to skip to kitkat
The only thing I can think of in 4.3 that would benefit users is TRIM support, but the Moto X already has that: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7235/moto-x-review/9
On other Moto devices we had an app that would check Moto dev servers for leaked builds. The Atrix got unlocked that way. Can't we try that on this device?

Anyone seeing anything for VZW?

Rate of Development?

I have the $150 promo code and am thinking of getting a MOTO X as a secondary phone. However, am I under the impression the DEV community is not jumping all over this phone based on the amount of threads/posts?
I also own a Nexus 5 which of course has tons of ongoing developmen but it has its quirks and issues, despite its low price point now being matched by MOTO X.
I would hate to buy the MOTO X as I notice very little development going on for a phone which has now been out for @ 3 months. I don't want VZW as I already have a primary VZW Dev Edition Galaxy S4 (whose development is now starting to thin thanks to Sammie locking it up for those not owning a dev edition).
Was thinking the GSM unlocked version was the way to go since I have a Straight Talk SIM.
Now that the MOTO X is more affordable with perhaps more owners, will dev pick up? Comments?
Custom roms that are cm based lose the Motorola fun stuff like active notification and touch less control. Also, most are finding you can customize almost anything cm like with xposed. Also we can't make custom kernels yet.... So there is not much need or demand for custom roms.

Thanks for the info! Not really a CM guy..more AOSP. But I do like exposed framework when needed. So it sounds like this phone is worth it right out of the box, i.e., fun factor. I would probably appreciate the option of not spending hours flashing, etc like I do on my N5/GS4.
I have a couple nandroid backups.... And mess around with xposed. Can do a lot with it. If there were a bunch of roms, I don't think I'd be flashing them anyway. Don't see the need. I think that's a common feeling.... So demand is very low for them.

down the road when we stop getting official Android updates.... That's when the custom roms will come in handy.

Devs will fix things, but right now, there's not much to fix, software-wise. If Motorola/Verizon stop updating the phone (I guess we don't have 4.2.2 yet, but sounds like it will be coming soon), then maybe it will pick up. I have the Vz Dev so I unlocked the bootloader (because it wipes everything on the phone, so I wanted to get that out of the way) and if I didn't need AdAway, WiFi tethering, and TiBu (I was shocked how many apps the non-root backup apps such as Helium can't do), I'd still be unrooted.
The stock android is great. Motorola just added a couple of useful apps the rest is AOSP. Xposed works great. This phone is a daily driver not a secondary phone trust me you won't regret it Android at its best.
Bit the bullet.. Ordered it and in process. Airjacket case was 50% off as well and I got $10 Google play credit and another 50gb of Google drive storage.

That is the code i used... you enter the code and it deducts the discounts for phone and accessories and upon process of the order and confirmation'a splash page appears with the Google credit and drive offer... Keep your eyes open as I almost missed it and closed the web page. you also get a confirmation email.

Cyanogenmod?

There appear to be CM builds for the Moto X. Why isn't Cyanogenmod in the original development forum? I'm not inclined to install anything that isn't a topic on XDA.

Yep, just flashed the most recent build on my XT1052, and it seems to work just fine, except for the speakerphone.. waiting for the devs to fix it, but for now it's all cool!
Sorry to hijack your thread, but it appears you gotten CM working and there is not a CM forum for Moto X. I will be brief:
Does "Active Display" still work or has it been removed?
Can you still install "Moto Assist"?
Can you still install/use "Spotlight" player?
Thank you.
