Anyone know why we don't have a Cherry Red shell for the Moto G 2014? I've looked all over including Motorola's site and for some strange reason they offer every colour EXCEPT for Cherry Red (which is the only one I want >.>).
Is it an issue concerning stock perhaps?
I found a FlipShell for the G2 in that color on Amazon...

So I have a sprint moto x, its white and I'm already sick of the color and look. Do you guys think there will be a way (unofficial, of course) to pick up parts and swap them myself. How hard is a teardown on one of these? I'd really like to replace the white back door with a wooden one at some point. Also, where is the development on this thing. I don't see any sign of CM which is crazy!!
Cm 10.2 is on its way,I downloaded a test cm ROM which is almost ready , if you go to the development section you'll find it
Sent on my Moto X
is there somewhere i can order a different back.
on sprint we have no motomaker but the back of the phone seems rather easy to pop on/off. I want to customize it myself but cant find parts anywhere online, other then one site has replacement white and black doors im looking for the navy or something.
EDIT: the name of this phone truly stinks!!! i keep searching for "moto x" stuff and keep getting super cross stuff, like, for motorcycles haha

Haha. I was having the same issue. Look up 'Motorola Moto X' instead. Should find some better results.
So I'm having a bit of a conundrum. My current RAZR M is very nice, but is facing a few problems (I won't go into detail). After a lot of research, I've decided the Moto X will most likely be my next phone. Some additional motivation is I have a $50 coupon off a new Moto X and tomorrow starts Motorola's Moto X Valentine's Day sale. It seems like a good time to pick one up.
My question is should I get the Dev version with the black front with white backing, to which I'm not a huge fan of or get a MotoMaker version and design one that I like? Like most here, once I get my hands on the device, I'm going to want to root it and start tweaking everything to my liking. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There have been lots of threads on this. Searching is good.
The cheapest, most customizable and most tweakable is the T-Mobile version. this comes already carrier unlocked, and you can unlock its bootloader easily.

I think you already know the answer. It's like trying to decide between the ugly girl who gives it up easily or the attractive girl who makes you work for it but is totally worth the time and effort.

I'm assuming you're a VZW customer, and planning to stay as one... So don't get the Tmobile version.
What means more to you, a customized look, or the ability to unlock it? Unlocking guarantees you the ability to root. While you can root the VZW moto maker phones, you cannot now, and likely will never be able to unlock it.

To be fair, I did search and not just here. Most what I found were people moving from "top-tier" model phones. The other being that the prices have change a bit from the release date. I will keep you advice in mind though.
I was thining the T-Mobile version would be the best too. From what I've read, it'll be a bit of work but that is part of the fun.

While I may not like to context of your analogy, you message is clear. Getting a beautiful phone and putting forth a bit of work to making fully my own may be worth it in the end.

When I originally got my RAZR M, I was on VZW (prepaid to be exact), the tweaks I had done to make it work on their network caused to phone to not play well with the network at times. I removed the frequency block on the radio and now am running my RAZR M with a GoPhone SIM. Works much better even if AT&T's coverage isn't as good a VZW's in my area.
I am looking to get a no contract Moto X. They say the model is XT1053. I don't want the Dev version because I like the Moto software that comes on the no Dev version. Is the Dev version just pure Android?
I am coming from the AT&T Galaxy S4 not rooted but sim unlocked.
I know the Moto X is a nice phone but almost having a hard time to commit to the purchase. I will be selling the Galaxy S4 to recoup the money but what would you do?

Dev version and regular version are identical. The only difference is you don't lose your warranty when you unlock.
The Moto X is the best phone I've ever used, bar none. If you have read reviews and think you'll like it, buy it.

So the Dev version has the Moto Active display notifications? So it would be worth going that route well it is 324 too. Just dont know if I like the black front and white back.

If you aren't interested in Unlocking the bootloader, I'd say get the moto maker version. Its a fantastic phone and you'll no doubt enjoy it regardless of which one you buy.

The Dev Edition XT1053, and the GSM Unlocked (comes with T-Mobile SIM) XT1053 and GSM Unlocked (comes with Net10 Sim) XT1053 use the same rom, radio, baseband, etc. They have the same software pre-installed, the same features, etc.
The Dev Edition comes only as Black Front, woven white back that says Dev Edition, silver accents (buttons and camera ring), 32gig, and unlocking the bootloader does NOT void the warranty.
The GSM Unlocked (with T-Mo or Net10 sim) is basically the same, except available as 16, 32 or 64gig, fully customizable front/back/accents, and unlocking its bootloader DOES void the warranty.
So if having the warranty is more important than looks, go with the Dev Edition and put a case on it. If looks or 64gig are more important than warranty, go Moto Maker.
I have a VZW developer edition. I purchased a black back cover for it. The covers are pretty easy to replace.
I wanted an unlocked bootloader so I would have the option of flashing mods or ROMs in the future. So far I'm satisfied with the stock software, but there may be a point in time I want something different.

Well if you decide to sell, let me know. I don't have a verizon moto x, but I like the woven white back better.
TY all for the help I will get the Moto Maker no contract one as the woven black is showing available again.

Nice. Where'd you get a black back plate? I'd like to change that also. Love having dev edition. Got it the day it launched but not a fan of the white back.
There is a thread somewhere in this forum with links to purchase replacement back plates. I think mine came from china.
Well I pulled the trigger on the Developer edition. I know the new ones are just around the corner but couldn't pass up the deal they have now.
I am coming from the AT&T Galaxy S4. Has been a nice phone but to bloated and locked down.
Can't wait.

I ended up with a "best example" of any X. The screen just not up to other phones for outdoor readability!
With no contract and being able to customize the look to meet your color needs, notifications and touch less control, Motorola Assist how can you not get one.
$299.99 for 16GB
$324.99 for 32GB
These people that ***** about this and that spend endless time complaining about everything!
No phone is perfect but its a good phone had it since roll out.

I am not a fan of X's display coming from an S4, but which AMOLED panel has good colour accuracy? They all are extremely over saturated, S4 was, S5 is (a completely different story with Cinema preset though), and X is too. Yes I will agree that it's more saturated than S4's display, but still it's not that bad that I will have to complain about it. It's basically the same display which was used in Note 2 right?
Recently i am seeing a small difference on the back on my Moto x 2014.... Phone is about 7 months old.
a very minor swelling/bulge of a sort and no i don't overcharge my phone.. ever...
So i was planning on going to the service center in my city. [Pune, India] [ Anyone in India with similar experience would be a plus ]
Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing
and
if or what solutions do the Motorola people offer if it is an actual issue [hopefully not my minor OCD]
Any help would b appreciated. :good:
Just in case anyone is following this thread.
Update: I got it checked at an Authorised Service Centre here. Yes it has a bulge which was fairly noticeable if ur looking for it. Apparently the moto guy said, all X Series i.e. meaning moto x 1st gen and 2nd gen have the back cover stuck and not a latched type back panel like Moto G, E , etc...
They will pry it open which will certainly cause a bit of damage and check the battery, also replace it if necessary. Also the motherboard will be checked apparently. Free of cost as its under moto warranty, obviously.
Reasons mentioned to me by Moto: Overheating, although I never overcharge it. So I'm clueless as to how...
I'll keep the thread updated on the issue, my device will be given to them on Monday/Tuesday for diagnostics.
Hoping for the best here :thumbup:

A small quick update on the matter
The moto service centre has ordered "parts" and "will take time to come"
so i have not given my moto yet but will be taking it for diagnostics tomorrow to figure out whats the deal... with this bulge... :crying:
The Issue here is.... in India... the whole damn system is SLOW
sigh...
more updates to come tomorrow itself...
Well this is the final update:
I got it checked, saw with my own eyes the insides of my moto X 2014, a fine work of craftsmanship n design by moto on the inside too...
Anyway, the battery has not bulged...
The bulge present resulted only because moto X has the back panel stuck and not like a latch system like moto g or most mobiles for that matter.
So yes, to sum up, it was my paranoia
But at least now I know and if Anyone is interested or having any similar issue, u also know now :thumbup:
Have a good day XDA

Just picked up an XT1064 (the Consumer Cellular version) and it has the traditional black back cover on it and I'm a fan of yellow and black so, I spent the past 2 hours trying to track down one of the OEM "lemon-lime" back covers for the Moto G 2nd gen model and was unsuccessful. Seems crazy that they'd just disappear from the face of the earth but whatever so...
If anyone out there happens to have an actual Motorola OEM Lemon-Lime back cover for the Moto G 2nd gen XT1064 I'd be interested in acquiring it from you given the price isn't too crazy insane or if anyone can point me in the direction of actually locating one online from a reseller that would be awesome as well. I tried dozens of online sources and got nowhere, not even eBay has it in any of a dozen countries I checked against. Not sure why they're so hard to find but I suppose they just weren't all that popular.
Yes I realize there are other companies making yellow or similar replacement back covers but I always prefer to get the OEM hardware above cheap knockoff products. I don't intend to use a case on this phone, hence me just wanting the lemon-lime factory back cover.
Admins/Mods: if this post isn't allowed then by all means delete it as required.
Thanks for any help in tracking one of these back covers down, happy holidays to all...
Hello!
I am from brazil and its fairly easy to get one of these around here.
I also have a Moto G 2014.
I can buy the cover and then ship it to you, add me in whatsapp if you're interested. +55 21 96821-8571.
Kind Regards.
I don't use WhatsApp so I guess that won't work but thanks for the offer.

Already got rid of the Moto G 2nd gen, got a 3rd gen now and of course in looking for the yellow shell for this phone it's out of stock everywhere as well. I've never seen anyone using a yellow shell except me on any Moto phone and yet I can't find 'em anywhere, that's just weird.
Anyway, can't find one for the Droid Turbo 2 I have either, guess I'll just give up and live with things the way they are.
Actually I have one. Bought 2 years ago at ebay.co.uk.
Green and yellow isn't the best color. In few weeks it became dirty with a lot of dust on the inside.
So I stopped use it.
Oh, and it makes the phone bulkier than stock one.
