Just wondering if i should have held out for the nexus 6? C'mon developers, I really like this device. I would love to see some development.
If it is like the 2013 model, there will be basically no development work. Gravitybox was essential if you wanted customizations

Hi all,
I'm about to get the HTC One Google or the Developers edition. Will the roms on this forum work on the Google edition or the Developer edition of the HTC One?
Thanks in advance!
Or can you guys direct me to the right forum, because its kinda weird seeing that there are only the carrier versions. So I just wanted to make sure that the ROMs of this forum will work on either one (pun intended)

This is the right forum.
The only carrier specific forum that's even needed is sprint because the sprint phone uses a different partition layout and radio hardware than any of the others.
To answer your first question, all roms here will work on both Google and Developer editions.
Thanks man!

I have been watching for a solid port to Verizon wireless, and saddened by the lack of love it's getting. What are some of the issues that are preventing developers from porting, or just building for vzw? Rumrunners s off works great, so I'm really confused. Is it not enough people with the needed hardware? Is there some other technical issue? I know viper is working on it, but there hasn't been any updates from any devs. We have like 12 sense and 7 aosp builds, and most are stock or have issues. I am happy to test whenever that is the only issue also.

Title says it all...will we get any love soon? I see almost every other carriers (unlocked BL's and not) all have Roms and development going on except USC...I pretty much unlocked and rooted for no reason it seems. If anyone knows or has news please share as I am very disappointed in my findings...should have went with another carrier :banghead:

Omg another us cellular user, I thought I was alone, I would even settle for a stock modified rom. Have you tried Xposed and gravity box though, you can get most of the custom Rom features without having to flash all the time?

Am using MotoXposed at this very moment...I've tried the nightly pacman in OG Development to no avail. What's this gravity box you speak of? lol. Sounds interesting.

So we got users...we need devs...I've been through plenty of unlocking and rooting of devices...just never got into creating ROMs myself...or porting...any of that. Just your normal flasher looking for a fix hahaha. Seems like this is a dry city though lol.

Yes. I tried it but haven't got the time to do any logcats and help him get it working.

Same issues with pacman ROM...activation issues. I am able to bypass by flashing ROM only then rebooting...turning on WiFi then reboot, flash gapps and reboot. I even try calling *228 and it always fails...wish I could help out myself as well. Don't understand...it DID however seem more stable the. Pacman...at least it had sound lol. Just won't activate...

Well I got PAC-ROM to work Flawlessly on My Moto X from USC (U.S. Cellular). Except there was no Active Notifications so I went back to stock. I use XPOSED and I've done other modifications but I think I went to far cuz it doesn't let me install Nova Luancher >..<
But I hope theirs Development or ROMS for this Device cuz the Verizon MOTO X had a pretty beast Features list like Beats AUDIO, Over clocking, and some other features. I forgot the rest >..< /.\
But Just cross fingers there'll be development for the USC Moto X! ^.^
Another USC user here as well. I've been using stock rooted and deodexed with xposed and am satisfied with that... but I am constantly looking for a better kernel (if you can find one much better than stock).
Anyhow, I'm in the process of learning to compile kernels from source and eventually ROMs. Initially for personal use but I might be convinced to release my work once it's all nice and perfect.
I ordered my Moto X on Saturday through moto maker. Its a Verizon retail version. Any idea if 4.4 will come on it? If I don't have 4.4 is there anything I should do before accepting the update? My understanding is the the bootloader on the VZW Moto X retail version has not been unlocked by anyone yet. I am interested in obtaining an unlocked boot loader and root if possible if only for options down the road. I have been seeing tools like RockMyMoto or something on here...what are those all about. These options seem a lot different from what I am used to on my nexus, could really use a brief introduction to my new device. If I am missing a key topic, a link would be super cool.
Thanks!

i just received my verizon phone today and come with 4.2 so you can still using rockmymoto in case that you want to root
It's supposed to be on the path to 4.4 however I wouldn't expect it until early next year but I might be wrong but that's when vzw releases big updates it seems.

Just got mine today. 4.4 was not installed but it started the download on its own. I didn't realize it until it had already downloaded.

Someone has been living under a rock
Verizon released it earlier this week, and tmobile released it today.
I have the $150 promo code and am thinking of getting a MOTO X as a secondary phone. However, am I under the impression the DEV community is not jumping all over this phone based on the amount of threads/posts?
I also own a Nexus 5 which of course has tons of ongoing developmen but it has its quirks and issues, despite its low price point now being matched by MOTO X.
I would hate to buy the MOTO X as I notice very little development going on for a phone which has now been out for @ 3 months. I don't want VZW as I already have a primary VZW Dev Edition Galaxy S4 (whose development is now starting to thin thanks to Sammie locking it up for those not owning a dev edition).
Was thinking the GSM unlocked version was the way to go since I have a Straight Talk SIM.
Now that the MOTO X is more affordable with perhaps more owners, will dev pick up? Comments?
Custom roms that are cm based lose the Motorola fun stuff like active notification and touch less control. Also, most are finding you can customize almost anything cm like with xposed. Also we can't make custom kernels yet.... So there is not much need or demand for custom roms.

Thanks for the info! Not really a CM guy..more AOSP. But I do like exposed framework when needed. So it sounds like this phone is worth it right out of the box, i.e., fun factor. I would probably appreciate the option of not spending hours flashing, etc like I do on my N5/GS4.
I have a couple nandroid backups.... And mess around with xposed. Can do a lot with it. If there were a bunch of roms, I don't think I'd be flashing them anyway. Don't see the need. I think that's a common feeling.... So demand is very low for them.

down the road when we stop getting official Android updates.... That's when the custom roms will come in handy.

Devs will fix things, but right now, there's not much to fix, software-wise. If Motorola/Verizon stop updating the phone (I guess we don't have 4.2.2 yet, but sounds like it will be coming soon), then maybe it will pick up. I have the Vz Dev so I unlocked the bootloader (because it wipes everything on the phone, so I wanted to get that out of the way) and if I didn't need AdAway, WiFi tethering, and TiBu (I was shocked how many apps the non-root backup apps such as Helium can't do), I'd still be unrooted.
The stock android is great. Motorola just added a couple of useful apps the rest is AOSP. Xposed works great. This phone is a daily driver not a secondary phone trust me you won't regret it Android at its best.
Bit the bullet.. Ordered it and in process. Airjacket case was 50% off as well and I got $10 Google play credit and another 50gb of Google drive storage.

That is the code i used... you enter the code and it deducts the discounts for phone and accessories and upon process of the order and confirmation'a splash page appears with the Google credit and drive offer... Keep your eyes open as I almost missed it and closed the web page. you also get a confirmation email.

Probably isn't. Two different phones. Good for a second/third or gift though.
