PA has always been one of my more favorite custom roms. Going to be buying a dev edition once it comes back in stock, and I was just curious as to if anyone is going to try and port PA.

Use to be my favorite but you really don't need paranoid to get the dual panel view, xposed framework has a module called app settings which gives you the dual panel view, I would like to see a slimrom instead but it will have to be built from source same as paranoid

I'd rather have a PA where everything is running natively from the rom itself rather than using xposed framework and installing all these separate modules.

hi guys i had maclaw's cyanogenmod 11 rom for a while then i changed to android andi slimkat and one of the things i enjoyed about it was the headsup mode for calls. it works like this : when u get a new call and the screen is on (u are doing something on ur phone) the call doesnt block the whole screen, instead there is a popup that u can choose to put away. i wanted to know is there something like that in thisCM11 that i missed? coz im lookin for reasons to go back to it
thx anyway

Do you mean the heads up notification which CM11 has it in settings > notification? If yes, it's simple to bring it back to SlimKat because all Android 4.4 based roms have this feature.
You will need Xposed framework to enable this feature, download it from xposed website. If you downloaded it and installed the framework should you see in the app a section "download" open it and search for "Heads Up notification". Then install it and reboot your phone.

thanks but u got me wrong slimkat has a feature that i like to know if i can have that same feature on cyanogenmod 11. on slimkat when someone calls and your screen is on (you are working on your phone) the call doesnt go full screen, it just pops up like a headsup notification so u can choose to ignore it.
can i have that in cyanogenmod 11 too ?
I have VZW Moto X XT1060 Developer Edition with 4.4.4. I thought it was on standard factory ROM, but apparently it was on Krypton 1.4 and obviously, no OTA for me!
As this is my daily driver, I can't really take it completely out of service for extended periods. I had this phone pretty dialed in with Xposed and all the rest, but I imagine I'll have to nuke everything and start over with Xposed L.
I did install TWRP but it's mainly to do a backup with OTG microSD adapter.
Any recommended course of action?

In the same exact boat bro, business has to continue. As of now and probably for the next week I'll stick to my daily driver. Running debloated stock 4.4.4 via Titanium Backup with xposed tweaked to my fancy.
It's only a matter of time till we get our hands on a flashable Zip

Where do I find xposed for Lollipop? After finding this and following instructions it led me to believe its the "..sdk22-arm.zip" Is this the correct installer?

Yes, use the sdk22 (that's Lollipop) and arm which is the CPU in the Moto X.
FYI, sdk23 is Marshmallow.
I have the factory 5.1.1 5.1 all dialed in now with Xposed and other modules, rooted and everything, of course. Haven't decided if I want to play with ROM themes yet, as I prefer a dark theme over a light one.

What did you flash to get 5.1.1? I thought the factory version was stuck at 5.1 and that the only 5.1.1 options were third-party ROMs like OctOS and AICP. My wife's phone is in a similar predicament, it's running Krypton 4.4.4 right now and I want to get it running Lollipop, I was thinking of this stock ZIP.

here are my two recommendations for LP:
custom: NeXus Experience
pros:
- can install a custom kernel
- contains privacy features so that you can block wake locks, etc
- no need for xposed as all tweaks/mods are already built in
- best battery life
- developer is currently working on a build for 6.0
cons:
- Active moto display will not work (but ambient display works just fine)
stock: Stock
pros:
- most reliable
- moto active display works
cons:
- need xposed to get personal tweaks
- xposed & Gravity box still have some issues (but working for me)
- still some bloat in the debloated version, but that can be adjusted
overall, both are fine. bluetooth works fine on both (in both my car and watch)
I've used both, but keep coming back to NeXus

[Warning: I'm relatively new to Android. I've used it for about a year, and I have a decent understanding on how it works. I've rooted and used Safestrap before and know the basics on almost everything, but not much more.]
I'm planning on purchasing a license for Sunshine, and unlocking my bootloader for my new Turbo. I was planning on using it to install a custom rom, like CyanogenMod, since that's the only rom I've used before, and possibly trying some new ones. However, I realized that I would lose all the Motorola features, like Moto Voice, Moto Actions, Moto Display, and so on. I love these features and use them all the time, so I don't want to give them up. Is there some kind of way to keep them with a different rom?
I was thinking that maybe there was a custom rom that has these features, or maybe there's some way to install them onto a regular custom rom.
Any ideas?

If you're planning on going to anything based on cyanogenmod, no. Someone would need to port these apps to the new rom, and no one has done that yet. However, some of the features can be replicated using other apps. For example, Moto Display is almost identical to the native android feature Ambient Display. You can use Ok Google voice commands for most Moto Voice applications.
An alternative would be to download a modified stock firmware (such as the one maintained by Computerfreek), or modify one yourself. This way, you can keep the Moto apps. Modifying your own firmware is very easy using TWRP (which you will install after unlocking your bootloader). Usually it's as simple as finding a flashable .zip file that contains the feature(s) you want to add and flashing it via TWRP.

You don't need to. Just download the ones that you want. For example:
1. Upgrade to the latest official firmware (SU4TL-44) and unlock your bootloader with Sunshine.
2. Want root access? Use TWRP to flash SuperSU. Download that flashable zip here: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
3. Want to use the Xposed framework to easily modify your device in a ton of different ways? Use TWRP to flash it. Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 (you need SDK22 arm)
4. Want to add audio optimizations? Flash PON-3. Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530976. Flash it, same as the others.
The installation for all of these is the same. Once your bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is installed, boot into TWRP, select "install", select the .zip file that you want to install, and flash it. Done.

I've used Xposed before on my old Safestrap device. I thought about using Xposed on the stock rom, but I was hoping there was another option, since custom roms offer much more than Xposed modules do. Thanks for the links, I think I'll go with what you said. One question though, so there's no way to flash or install the Moto suite onto a custom rom (with or without TWRP)?
And one more thing, is it possible to use the IR sensors in the Turbo to wake up the Ambient display? (Like when you wave your hand over it and it shows the Moto Display.)

There is no way that I know of to get Moto et al working on a different rom. Like I said, the apps would have to be ported. I'm not very knowledgeable about what that entails, but I do know that the Moto apps need more than just their respective apks to function properly. They require extra libraries, drivers, etc. to work, most of which are probably kernel-related (you can't use the stock kernel on a non-Motorola rom). So someone porting those apps would have to either integrate these supplementary files into CM or AOSP or whatever, or rewrite the apps so that they rely on existing google code.

Dang it, that's unfortunate. Guess Xposed, and custom kernals and images will have to suffice. Thanks for the help!

Xposed, particularly gravitybox. I'm not really sure what you meant when you said that custom roms offer so much more than xposed does. I used custom roms for a long time on my Galaxy S4, and except for AOSP vs TouchWiz or installing a more recent version of android, I can't think of a single thing that a custom rom can do that an xposed module can't.

For me, custom roms don't exactly offer much more than modules do, but the experience of using a custom rom is much greater. Since everything is made by the same developers, it flows well with each other. Instead of having to rely on multiple modules that have to be updated, you can just install what is essentially a new OS, and get an entirely new flavour of Android.

But there are many functions and apps that do exactly the same thing.
Ambient Display = Moto Display
OK Google = Moto Voice
plus tons of apps to read notifications, texts, emails.
Etc.
I dumped my Motorola stuff months ago and have everything I need.
It's not that big a deal.
Open source is almost always better than proprietary stuff anyway.

Agreed. If you're willing to learn and set up some things, I bet you could get 100% moto functionality without a single moto app. Does anyone know of an app that will give me the chop-chop flashlight? Because when I eventually make the move to CM (assuming we ever get CM13), that will be the feature I miss most. And I'm being completely serious about that.

I find Moto Display to be much cleaner than Ambient Display.
Moto Voice was nice because of the custom launch phrase, and the system commands you could do.
Moto Actions comes in handy almost every day, especially the Dual Chop and Camera wrist twist.
If I could find I way to replace all or most of this then I would be content.

Download Commandr from the play store. I think that allows you to customize your OK Google phrase. It also allows you to add or customize OK Google commands.
But yeah, I use the actions a lot too, and I don't know of an app that will replace them.
The problem I have with Ambient Display is that it doesn't work when I toggle my lockscreen off. MotoDisplay still showed me notifications. With ambient display and lockscreen off, I have no way to visually know my notifications.
