So... quick question (major noob when it comes to porting apps/roms). Since Motorola has all of the featured apps on the play store, are we able to flash CM and install the updates (Assist, Active Display, Motorola Connect, and Touchless Control) to the Moto X? Is this even possible? Could the apps possibly be added into a custom variant of CM/AOKP/PACMAN ROM for the Moto X? I would assume that the apps, since the hardware makes it possible, could be ported somehow into a custom ROM.

Again, major noob when it comes to this stuff but I figured I would ask.
Not possible.
But if you want a VERY close to CM-like experience, do this:

Wow thanks for the link to this post. I might go ahead and do this. Stuck on US Cellular and am still iffy about unlocking bootloader and voiding warranty.
Now that I think about it I never used the warranty on any phone.... might be worth the risk.
No need to unlock the bootloader! Just follow the rooting method listed

Could you elaborate please? I'm just curious because I thought of trying this out myself.
For the same reason that you can't use touchwiz /sense stuff on an aosp rom

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.

I think they are actually pretty good about releasing source code. Definitely better than Samsung and HTC IMO.

I'm sure the experience is great, I just like trying roms and enjoying the added value they bring. I figured a phone this nice and unlocked bootloader would be very dev friendly so I'm surprised there isn't much for development

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.

Couldn't agree more. Just got my device yesterday. Don't feel the need to flash anything yet
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 really like what the moto x has on offer

Yep, I used to be a flashaholic but the original Moto X changed that. Even my Nexus 5 is running stock KitKat.

I don't get it. Why would you lose the custom Moto features in a custom ROM? Aren't these features just bundled in APKs now in the new X?

Right, but does that mean that you would need sources for the drivers? Or, can the drivers just be extracted as files from the stock boot/system?

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 going to go one step further back and say stock Jellybean ROM. No kidding.
I have 2 1053-s - one I bought new (my "daily driver") and never upgraded from JB (when KK was released initially a lot of people complained about battery life and other issues). Another I bought used and it already had KK. I used the one with KK extensively for a week druing vacation and observed KK is less stable - had WiFi drop offs when downloading offline maps, also complete phone freezes when camera app was working. I never had these kind of problems (or any problems for that matter) with JB.
As for Lollipop - just see how long the thread "how to downgrade from Lollipop" is.
verizon wise, best rom is either kyrptonite 4.4.4(some prefer eclipse, both similar) or Modded LP 1060, both are flawless, at least for me.
Stock Kit Kat because it never gave me any headache.
5.1 only introduced bugs and bad battery.
I would say CM 12.1 is a close second, it has some cool features and the Ambient Display is an actual improvement over Moto Display, waving my hand over the screen to see the time is the best feature.
Cyanogenmod 13 will come to motorola 2013? or stock, or any rom?? please :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
I'd say there's a good chance of at least CM13 hitting our device.

Any chance the reboots were because I didn't use the right kernel?

Últimamente el equipo oficial de cyanogenmod ha estado sacando pocas actualizaciones "nightlies", a comparación con algunas semanas atrás.. será que estarán ocupados con cm13??
Hopefully soon. I also have the 2015 edition of the Moto E and while it is missing some features (especially the decoupling of the ringer and notification streams), a CAF/AOSP version of CM13 is pretty fluid, smooth and the battery life is OFF the charts. Took it off the charger at 10 pm local time and it only used 7% in 10 hours...so the Doze feature is clearly working....
I also started to port CM13 to Moto X independently of @Megatron007 some weeks ago in my spare time . This is my first experience of building CM. So far I'm still fixing build errors I think I will contact him in pm.
please, plz.. people...do something
please make a marshmallow rom... i need.. i repeat.. i needd now on tap
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!

Rooted? Do you see SuperSu anywhere? If not, then download SuperSu and see what happens.

Root Checker Basic is a free app from the Play Store or app market that will tell you whether or not the phone has root access.

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.

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.

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.

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.
