[Q] Sprint - The lack of Moto X XDA Support - Why? - Moto X Q&A

Since this is a Q&A thread, I'm a little curious as to why there is so little support for Sprint. By support I mean the amount of Roms that come out. They're all Ver/ATT/Other companies yet we see little Sprint roms. Am i not looking hard enough? Or is there another place where sprint Moto X Roms are being developed and supported? Or should i just make my own?

All the roms termed unified will work in all the variants .There are still many roms like PAc PA Cm LS .

Look around for anything US Cellular...You'll feel like you have a million friends here. LOL

Sprint has alot of support almost all the roms work with are phone but we a issue with data dropping randomly and we have to reboot to get it back.
but i dont think any DEV's have a sprint Moto X because there has been no talk of a fix.
i have tried just about every rom that is for all versions of the moto x and they all work great. but the data drop issue we need a fix for.

One of the roms i really really want for sprint it the Eclipse one, but im guessing the problem is that he doesn't have a sprint device to test out a build. There was another one i couldn't think of. Beyond the point though, The problem with most of those roms is that they don't have Active Display, and those that do, aren't that customized like other roms are.

NinjaBlur Home on Motorola Droid?

Is there any possible way to port that BlurHome.apk in the Droid X dump to the Motorola Droid, I couldn't find it in the forums.

There is a way by most likely porting the whole build over. But I'm waiting for the droid2 to come out which is supposed to have ninjablur running on froyo. It should be a very easy port since it's basically an upgraded droid from what I've heard.
Ok, great. thanks for the reply.

so, now that the droid 2 is out, r u working on a rom?
if I may interject, that may be hard due to the locked bootloader, but stranger things have happened, though I do wonder what you find desirable in blur. Not meant to be rude, it's just that launcher pro payed has awsome homescreen widgets for social networks, and to my knowlede one of the main reasons people root is to rid their phones of forced upon software like blur. Though if it's really uninvasive, I guess I could see how that could be usefull. (oh, btw hardware changes all the time, just because its the droid 2, don't automatically think its an easy port to throw onto the D1) Did you know the Htc Incredible was originally supposed to have 8 gigs of rom, and, I believe like 2 gigs of ram, too. Though you see how that played out, slap the droid label on anything and you can sell about half the actual device to people at the same price, but I digress. Basically, if you really, really want this ported, make some developer friends online, ask nicely on the forums, or, you know, become a rom chef.

[Q] Not so many Incredible S users on xda?

I've moved across from the Desire forums and they're very busy, no doubt due to vast numbers of handsets being out there. The IS section looks fairly quiet in comparison, is that because of low sales on this model, or more the fact that the IS owners don't feel the need to root, mod etc?
it's a weird time right now for android phones....
Older phones are losing devs due to them moving on to newer phones, but there are so many newer phones that are actually good right now so dev support is widespread.
I would say it should pick up after a little while.
.
there is huge dev support for the IS becuase allt he euro devs are using IS and all the american devs are able to use droid incrediable 2's
look at our ROM index and its huge the phones only been out for 6 months (march it came out) and we got sense 2-3.5 being dev'ed on along with CM7 and other osap roms and MIUI

Whatever though, great roms and stuff I'm not complaining

they're the same phone... just a different name because it is the US verizon version
I wouldn't flash a droid 2 rom onto the incredible though, different radios I think which could brick your device
Similar -- one is CDMA/GSM, the others are GSM only. Also, one has operator graffiti on it, the others don't.
This forum is not a high volume forum in my opinion. We have a few roms and a few devs but that's it. Look at the Desire HD forum. More devs, roms, and themes for their roms. Nobody does special themes for the Incredible S roms.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
that other guy was right though, the incredible 2 forum looks a LOT busier
this phone seems to have slipped under most's radar, kind a like the Xperia Arc which is although a sex bomb but has no custom ROMs.
It's bc the roms we have do everything we need.
Sense? Go with revolution.
Sense 3? Do the add on for rev or use the less stable pyramid ports
Aosp? Miui and cm7 and other stock roms like rev no sense.
What else? It may seem less busy bc the progress was made on other devices then ported over.
Ie the desire hd, mytouch 4G, inspire, thunderbolt, etc etc etc have the same specs just different outside bodies.
So while its not bustling with chatter, its still good. Just my .02
I guess many users went for the DualCore phones, like the Sensation, LG Optimus and Galaxy S 2, that came out just after the IncS.
But there is still a lot of development for the IncS and som very skilled users/dev's in here ;-)
It is a very quiet forum for developing. Maybe because it was released when dual core phones were starting to kick off. So it ended up being a kinda meh device. I wish I still had my desire z but HTC stopped making it :/

Moto X development

Just ordered my moto X on Verizon waiting anxiously to arrive. I'm upgrading from a rezound. I love flashing Roms and try all different custom Roms devs put for us to play with. My only concern is that I don't see a lot of development for the phone I mean Official development, such CM, slimbean, PAC, aokp, carbon and so on. This is a well known device, is there something on the code that is hard to develop Roms for it. I'll appreciate any feedback.
Got MIUIFIED?

Locked bootloader on two major carriers+The phone is just about perfect with stock.
I gave up worrying about development and started just enjoying the phone for the awesome device it already is.
Thanks I have no doubt is a great stock running phone. Is just always nice running all those great custom Roms and all the extra staff they offer
Got MIUIFIED?
only thing i wish i could do is block ads. i never really used root except for TiBackup and Ad Blockers. i used to pound my Windows Phone with ROMs and when the D1 came out it was eye opening. I never wanted to ROM again. then the D2 came. ugh. then the D3... double-ugh. now that i have the X, i'm happy to have a near-nexus device.
I'm reading all over the soak test is about 4.4 kit Kat on big red that's sounds promising and I think I just came in to the moto x party on time
Got MIUIFIED?
There is no need for dev imo.
This phone runs great and the minor things can be fixed with xposed.
The only thing i kinda miss is halo but i can live without it or could use a third part app for it.

I have to agree with just about everyone else. I've always been a crack flasher. But I honestly feel this phone is almost PERFECT as is!
Also somewhat of a recovering crack flasher (coming from a GNex). At this point, I think Active Notifications and Touchless controls outweigh the urge to flash or even root. Even the Kit Kat itch is somewhat muted. Moto did an amazing job and all the people I've shown the features to seem to think so too.

[Q] Non-Broken KitKat ROMs?

Is it just me, or does the Sprint HTC One seem to be completely overlooked by ROM developers? TWRP for Sprint HTC One is still only 2.6.3.0 despite 2.6.3.3 and 2.6.3.4 being out for other phones for months. Nearly every ROM I have looked at seems to support every HTC One variant except for Sprint. If you want Sprint support, you have to use an older version. The latest CWM for m7spr does support KitKat, and I have been able to install CM11 nightly, but this is extremely buggy, and every nightly build seems to introduce as many new problems as it solves. Is there any stable KitKat ROM that doesn't suck and supports Sprint? Is there a reason developers hate Sprint users? Please someone tell me the answer to this.
Well I'm on the official cm11 from 1/3 and its running perfectly now for me except the browser once l toggled the data to CDMA/lte but that's it. Ecliptic seems to run as good as any other 5.5 on 4.4 Sense in my experience with it. I only use Sense a little because since the 4.3 ota the WiFi doesn't upload data at all and I use that way too much to tolerate that absence but the devs overlook it. Oh well cm it is until its fixed by Sprint.

No offense but if you bothered to do a simple Google search, you'd find that an official 4.4 OTA for sprint is not yet released which is why there is a lack of stable 4.4 roms...

Agree with the need to do a search before complaining about the devs sucking around here (which is effectively what was said, imho).
I have to dissent from the 'no stable kitkit' ROMs, though. For instance, EclipicONE [4.4] is quite stable -- it is, after all, based on InsertCoin and I can't imagine anyone suggesting @baadnewz creates anything other than extremely stable ROMs when he says they're good to go, and @hawknest is clearly no slouch either. I've used EclipticONE since the final test versions for my day to day -- no problems at all and fact it's outperforming my 4.3 ROMs (generally use ViperONE or InsertCoin) handily in battery, speed (I clocked it up to the 1.7 our processor is supposed to be, but even the default 1.1GHz top end runs totally smoothly) and general operations.
Not on a high horse here -- just saying ... I find we do in fact have stable kitkat based roms.
Eliptic is super stable. It can't get better than this. Plus it has s2w and s2s

Without tooting my own horn(cuz it ain't me who designs this ROM, I just build it), BS 4.4.205 is one of the best KK custom ROMs around, and I check. It does not have a completely bug-free experience, but for the scale of what is offered in options versus what doesn't work properly, you can't do much better anywhere. Most of the other custom ROMs are still implementing KK. As far as stock or stock-based, the earlier comments are all true. I do feel as though development here has stalled, and in general, Sprint is the ugly stepchild of the carrier system, based on how the phone is designed to run(totally different than any other carrier). Most of the truly gifted and knowledgeable devs have already moved on to the next big thing, which unfortunately, is the name of the game around here. But, I love my m7spr, and although I am not a coding guru, I plan to stick around for a while and try to get more cool ROM choices out there.

Thanks for joining XDA nearly 4 years ago and only posting 7 times. Good thing you used one of those 7 for this stupid post to discourage the developers we do have for Sprint. Boo I say, Boo!
OT
I'm getting really annoyed with these 'did you search first, stupid?' posts. Get off yourself. Yeah, there's a lot of information out there, but most of it's junk/spam, obsolete or completely irrelevant. There's so much crap info out there. If someone is unsure enough about something to get to the point of asking a question to get an answer, and you know the answer, just answer it.
Google 'sprint kit kat htc one'. Kind of interesting sure, but absolutely none of that is useful information esp in helping TV4FUN get an answer. Blogspot opinions, link farms copying things over and over, unrelated sprint and Moto(?!) info and random HTC ad crap, etc.
Similar experience to TV4FUN.. IMO there are no daily drivers for KK yet, probably not until Sprint KK and source is released. Much thanks to the devs who are working hard to get there though.

Yes thank you. I am using EclipticONE now and it is quite stable. By the way, does vDM client do anything important?

I'm confused about this because little by little we are getting more and more roms for this phone more than when I first got here. A lot of the aosp issue we have the other variants of the m7 have as well and a lot are Google based issues, one reason the devs are having issues is that kit kat has changed a lot even cyanogen him self has said so.
Be patient and remember no one here gets paid for this, they do it out of love for Android and a little respect I believe is deserved.
Edit: Mods should have closed this a while ago because it kills moral.

Ecliptic is good enough for a daily driver. In my opinion so are the nocturnal roms. I have never tried beanstalk so I cannot speak to that. But I think there are plenty of options out there. I guess it just boils down to how picky you are.
I would like to know what about ecliptic kk is not stable? just my 2 cents but most these issues people complain about are self induced due to lack of research or just nit picky! Come to think of it there isn't a single sense rom atleast that I have tried that isn't damn near perfect. I for one am feel very fortunate to be a part of the sprint m7 community

EXACTLY!! And actually I think that with all these batt drain and SIM card issues the ota has presented. One could argue that the custom software here is better than the official versions!
OP you can go to Tmo now they will pay your ETF, get a gsm One if you need kit kat so bad

ROM similar to Moto X?

First, I apologize if there is an obvious one out there, but the WebSense at work blocks images, so I couldn't see anything in the threads that I initially checked out.
My question is: are there any ROMs developed for our HTC Ones that are based on the Moto X? If not, which one would be the most similar? Preferably, this ROM would be on 4.4 as well.
Thanks!
You won't find anything with moto x features here, they would take up tons of battery without the special processor. The best AOSP-like ROMs would be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2371960 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647850

Thanks for the info. I had the Nocturnal one bookmarked to check out later, and the LiquidSmooth one was one that I looked at but couldn't see anything due to the WebSense filters. I'll have to look more into them both!
