I can't find a single Sprint ROM in this forum except stock...
Verizon even uses CDMA and their bootloader I thought was more difficult to unlock as well..
I'm sitting here all rooted and bootloader unlocked on Sprint and can't flash anything except stock.
Any reason why/any devs working on Sprint ROMs?
Or are there any Sprint ROMs that I've just missed/are there any compatible (they all say VZW/GSM)?
-If not, please consider this a formal request :cyclops:
Thanks in advance!
***If there are any that are currently compatible please reply/list here for myself and others

Have you tried a Verizon rom on Sprint? I am sure a few things need tweaked but might be something to look at..
I've asked the same about US Cellular...it's just that no developer has surfaced on those carriers much for some reason... :what: (at least sprints still got more Dev going on then US Cellular) I'm unlocked as well. (Seems for no reason, though root is nice)

I have not because all of the ROMs say GSM variants or name Verizon specifically, as well as asking a few other sprint xda users and they all say the same thing- "I don't think there are any for Sprint right now except stock."
If you are recommending this, can you name one that would be the safest bet?
Thanks

Which ROM? Just to make you feel better, all the custom ROMs are not daily drivers cm11 has camera,sound and some her minor issues, gummy ROM has the same issues, so the stock ROM is by far the best ROM and xposed only makes it that much better

Honestly this phone is a stock style phone. If you want a more mods try using the Xposed framework and modules if you haven't already. Look for the Gravity box module and install. It allows for modification to your lockscreen, nav bar, status bar, reboot menu, quick tiles, clock, battery mods, pie controls, etc. I went back to stock rooted on my Nexus 7 as well because of Xposed much better experience than running cm or other variants. Hope this helps your phone experience. I included a link to the thread

Out of curiosity I had tried one of the stock modded Verizon roms. To be honest I really don't see the need so much for a custom ROM on this phone either, especially with xposed, however the one thing I would like to see is a good custom kernel or two. I would like to try some CPU and GPU overclocking just to see what kind of results we could get.
Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk
I agree with the post above I just picked this phone up yesterday rooted installed exposed and use gravity box for all my customizing and V4A works so I'm happy. A custom kernel would be nice with faux sound just to give the headset a slight boost when listening to music on headphones the speaker sounds just as good as the Htc one so called boom sound
Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk
After installing xposed frame work and gravity box don't see any need for custom ROM. Kind of reminds me of MOAR ROM on GS3.

I could probably live without Theme Chooser thanks to the Closed Framework. But I'd kill for some inverted 4.4 gapps. It does kinda suck not having some Sprint ROMs to flash and try out, though.

Well well looky who we got here. Long time no see Shabby lol. I think last time I saw you was on the SGS II forums. Sure would love a few roms for the Sprint Moto X
I was on 4.4 and downgraded to 4.2. Rooted using Rockmymoto and also ran MotoWPnomo.
Can i install a recovery and flash a ROM? Wasn't sure and wanted to ask before I fubar my phone.
Its not that simple because of the locked boot loader.
First of all why do you need a custom ROM on this phone? its vanilla android with a few good enhancements that you will lose with a custom ROM.
With a locked bootloader your only alternative is to use safestrap. The developer choose not to make a thread on xda. You will have to visit rootzwiki and find it. However, you should really understand the danger of having a locked bootloader and messing with safe strap and custom Roms. If something goes bad or you don't know what you're doing you might end up with a brick.
You should do a little more research before continuing. But now that you have root access xposed framework is really all you need. Combined with gravitybox there's no reason to mess with safestrap or custom Roms.
The Search bar is your best friend.

You need to have an unlocked bootloader to install a custom recovery and to flash a rom. All models should be unlockable except the AT&T and Verizon models. However, they do offer developer editions that are unlockable. If you have a device that can't be unlocked, you could try safestrap. Safestrap acts like a customer recovery by allowing you to flash roms made for safestrap to rom slots on your phone to while avoiding touching the primary system. You can also make backups and restore. If your bootloader is locked this would be your only option to flash roms.

I think the idea is ok, but there are SO many Roms that model off Android / Nexus. What you could do (if you're really good and have a community to help you out) is make a unique rom that uses the same apk format as Android. You can make the interface a lot more creative. For example, Ubuntu Touch has a unqiue way of launching and minimizing apps. You can also have a better settings / tweaking management or maybe try running the latest upstream kernel (Linux 3.14).
Sounds like a good idea, but the models c6916/users like me need it the most due to the fact we will NEVER EEEVERR EVAAAAA get our bootloader unlocked
OS porting from Nexus to Sony? I don't know, the OS from Nexus have to be very "magic" to have this idea. What the benefits? What this porting will do what we cannot do on the Original Sony OS? If there is nothing like "WoW" then is not worth it.

The launcher is readily available from the Nexus so that's half the battle but afaik if you want to create a rom from the ground up and it's not stock based then wouldn't you need to have an unlocked bootloader to flash it? Idea's a good one but not sure how you would overcome the locked bootloader issue.

Hey guys, I just purchased my custom PURE edition Moto X on the Cyber Monday deal and anxiously awaiting it. I was browsing the Development threads and noticed there isn't anything out there for Roms, why is that? The bootloader is unlockable and root is possible, is there a reason devs haven't been attracted to the Moto X or created any roms?
Usually requires source code or a port of some kind to get the roms started. Hopefully a Dev gets them rolling soon.
Does Motorola not release the source code?
And another reason is that with the factory Motorola tweaks, this phone really doesn't need any Roms. Root, yes. If exposed were updated to work with ART, then perfection! Motorola x 2013 really had very few Roms. Many of us like it the way it is.

Part of what makes this phone so nice are the added features that Motorola implemented, is moto display, moto voice... You'd lose those in a custom ROM. It's already running stock android so I really don't see the need anyway. I'm keeping mine on KitKat so I can use xposed, so as far as I'm concerned mine is running the best software possible- stock android + moto features + all the customization I want from xposed. It's glorious.
I used to love flashing custom ROMs when I owned a Samsung device. It was the only way to unlock their hardware's true potential. Douchwiz was always a laggy mess, not to mention it looks like something right out of the 90's. After owning the original X, I went through flashing withdrawal. Now, with the new X, I feel that flashing a custom ROM simply isn't necessary. It's fast, had features I use, and makes me happy.

There are a few tweaks and customizations I like from some Roms. Once Xposed gets compatible there probably won't be a real need for custom ROM's

I'd imagine that AOSP based ROMs would not be able to utilize the Moto X-clusive (cwutididthar??) features but ones based on the stock software could. Though I'm no dev so really I am just repeating things I've read by people more knowledgeable than I. Historically speaking, AOSP ROMs never have OEM exclusive features so I'd imagine the X would be no different.
Now back to the original question, considering that the only version of the X that even could flash a custom ROM is the Pure, and unfortunately the X just isn't a popular phone (which is a damn crime because it is easily the best phone available at the moment all things considered), I don't think we will ever see much development for it. But that doesn't bother me at all- I'm still on 4.4.4 with Xposed, and I am perfectly happy keeping it that way until I buy my next phone.

I am using an X1097 with TWRP, why is the pure the only version that can flash a custom ROM?
Just got a (supposedly rooted) Droid Turbo off Ebay... looks real nice. The phone was advertised as rooted, though i'm not sure how to verify. Android version 5.1
I had planned to install a custom ROM... initally CM12... as I want to tether with the device. I have CM12 installed on a Kindle fire and it works well, and I've installed custom ROMs (CleanROM, specifically) previously with an HTC One M8 (go S-off, unlock bootloader w/ sunshine, twrp recovery, etc), and it worked well.
I did note in the CM12 thread that simultaneous voice + data isn't supported right now. Thats a feature I use a lot, so I'm wondering if any other ROMs are out that support both tethering as well as simultaneous voice/data. (ideally ones with continuing support, but hey, can't be too picky). Maybe not a deal breaker, but it'd be a concern.
Also... I was expecting unlocking the bootloader to be a big deal (or at least to require another paypal payment to sunshine). Looks like I have an "allow bootloader unlock" option in developer options. Is that all I need? That'd be sweet!
Thanks all!

Custom ROM list is here. All the Quark ROMs work on all the Quarks -- including the Droid Turbo XT1254 (with unlocked bootloader):
CM12.1 ( @Skrilax_CZ dev)
Resurrection Remix ( @baybutcher27 dev)
Mokee (AOSP ROM, @baybutcher27 dev)
Nexus Experience (AOSP ROM), (EDIT: Nexus Experience has not been updated recently and does not work with Droid Turbo radio.)
Xperia Z5G
as well as custom kernel BHB27 ( @baybutcher27 dev).
Droid Turbo owners are using all of these above.

There's also ComputerFreak274 stock ROM with tweaks here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/computerfreekunlocked1-0-t3255945
As of this moment, that's the only one that does VoLTE on Verizon. The others including CM and Resurrection Remix have the VoLTE flags and all that, but for some reason right now it's not working on Verizon. The devs haven't given up yet.

Yes, if you take the OTA update from Verizon before unlocking your bootloader now.

That exploit will be patched with the OTA update. In fact, I wouldn't take the OTA update at all, even if your bootloader is unlocked. Let others take the risk.
Once Marshmallow hits, all the ROMs will be updated to Marshmallow. Use those.

Tethering (also called Portable Hotspot) works on all the custom ROMs, especially CM12.1 and Resurrection Remix. It's a fairly standard feature.

Custom ROM list is here. All the Quark ROMs work on all the Quarks -- including the Droid Turbo XT1254 (with unlocked bootloader):
CM12.1 ( @Skrilax_CZ dev)
Resurrection Remix ( @baybutcher27 dev)
Mokee (AOSP ROM, @baybutcher27 dev)
Nexus Experience (AOSP ROM),
Xperia Z5G
as well as custom kernel BHB27 ( @baybutcher27 dev).
Droid Turbo owners are using all of these above.

There's also ComputerFreak274 stock ROM with tweaks here:

I was never able to get Nexus Experience to work signal and data wise, regardless of the baybutcher kernal and fsg-id fastboot option to change to Verizon. Am i doing something wrong or is this a known issue.
Thanks

Are there any well-supported ROM options besides CM? I like CM, but the voice+data is a big thing

Marshmallow will be fine as long as you unlock before it shows up. There are no supported roms besides a modified stock rom that have functioning simultaneous voice and data.
EDIT: Oops. I didn't read enough. Sorry for the redundant post.

I went into the thread and looks like Nexus Experience has not been updated recently. Sorry. I edited my reply above to add that note.
The others all work with Droid Turbo however, except for VoLTE. So, there's 4 custom ROMs instead of 5 -- plus the stock ROM with tweaks. Three of those are based on CM, and one is AOSP.

Cool, by the way i get a lot of error messages of com.android and system ui stopping on xperia rom. Is it because I am not using baybutchers kernel?
