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?

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 using an X1097 with TWRP, why is the pure the only version that can flash a custom ROM?

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.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Motorola+Mobility+LLC.
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

Don't find any point in using custom roms. I wouldn't have bought Moto X if I dindn't prefer its special functions. Rooted Moto X , customized and clean of bloatware is the right thing. Not to mention that all Moto X custom roms lack proper basic functionality one way or the other.

Bringing up issues from a ROM on a completely different device helps no one. ROM problems vary with each device. In other words: your not helping.

With Xposed and Gravity Box (KK) module, I don't really need a custom rom. That may change when custom roms are the only way to get Android updates.
I heard a lot about this Xposed module... When I installed it, it didn't reach the pleasure or customizations of a custom ROM :/

I have no Idea if there is any way to tell if you've unlocked the Bootloader on the device itself, but the fact remains that Motorola now knows that you requested an unlock-code, and those are made per device, so they can check up on it.
Most phone-stores won't bother asking Motorola though, so I think you might be able to get a phone replaced under warranty. Take this with a grain of salt though
Hi Guys,
My Moto G 2014 is on the way so I decided I will get started on the XDA Community
I have done pretty much everything with my current phone like S-OFF, custom recovery, custom radio, tons of ROMs etc.
AFA I see the unlock process is pretty standard, and since it's official from Motorola, it should work with dual sim versions. I don't think motorolla devices need S-OFF. So only the issue of custom ROMs remain. While I see complete guides for Moto G 2014 root and custom recovery, I cannot find many ROMs that seem to be compatible with the Dual Sim version.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Specifically, I am looking for kernels that allow overclock and support the Dual Sim version. Android L update is promised by motorolla, so a ROM providing just this will do for me.
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!

I was never able to get Nexus Experience to work signal and data wise, regardless of the baybutcher kernal and fsg-id fastboot option to change to Verizon. Am i doing something wrong or is this a known issue.
Thanks

and i assume that Marshmellow coming is bad.. as in, harder to root/unlock/mess with?
Are there any well-supported ROM options besides CM? I like CM, but the voice+data is a big thing

Marshmallow will be fine as long as you unlock before it shows up. There are no supported roms besides a modified stock rom that have functioning simultaneous voice and data.
EDIT: Oops. I didn't read enough. Sorry for the redundant post.

I went into the thread and looks like Nexus Experience has not been updated recently. Sorry. I edited my reply above to add that note.
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.

Cool, by the way i get a lot of error messages of com.android and system ui stopping on xperia rom. Is it because I am not using baybutchers kernel?
Curious if LG G6 will eventually get root, and custom recovery to allow for Lineage 14.1 ROM ?
It will not.
Ouch that sucks I was hoping the G6 would eventually get root and then ROM's, like the G5 did. Oh well, not using this phone then

The boot loader is already unlocked so this phone will probably get root. CM is dead though so no chance of that. However it may get some custom roms.

He means LineageOS 14.1 which is not dead. Heck my old ass Samsung Galaxy Note Pro is running LineageOS 14.1 so never say never when it comes to LineageOS. My Note Pro was about to be recycled until LineageOS 14.1. It feels like a new tablet now. I would love it on my G6!!!

You guys / gals are angels from heaven to work on this. Thank you
I still think the best bang for the buck phone out for 2017 is the LG G6, selling for like $499 now, and soon with Root and official CM14.1 ( Lineage ROM ), it's the phone to beat for the price. The G6 running official Cyanogen ROM for $499, I'm all over that. Will be a super cool phone. Plus it's IP68 waterproof, and has wireless charging, and is also very one handed friendly for a 5.7" device. This phone with AOSP ROM = nerds wetdream

This looks like a good sign, hopefully the T-Mobile version is next

The T-Mobile version already has a bootloader unlock

International Version already has TWRP
Apparently the intl model's bootloader does not have all the fastboot commands stripped out like our tmo model :|
This makes theirs much easier to twrp/root.
So we just need a recovery and rom if we can unlock our bootloaders already ?
I saw this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634759622 looking around, I am not the dev of this nor have any part or take any credit on this. I just think this is a little weird I haven't seen nothing around here unless that's the same rom posted in the development thread, But by a different dev?

Yes, but there is no way to install twrp quite yet. To the best of my knowledge they devs basically have it, but they have to refine it an d make it user friendly so we aren't all bricking our phones

I've rooted every one of my phones since the OG Droid. Oddly enough, I'm really not missing root much for this phone- was originally hanging on the edge of my seat for it. As I've been living with it through the last few weeks, though, I don't think about it much. If it does get root, I'll probably do it- but this is the first time I think it won't matter that much. I'm really enjoying this phone (my first LG).
Cheers!

Don't quote me but the official unlock is just like it was on g5. But boorloader unlock still works for g5 and g6 just not an "official" unlock
Really hoping that they do this soon. The phone was fantastic for the first couple of weeks then the anticipated happened, as has been my experience with all carrier ROMs. It starts to get sluggish, battery life gets crap (I was getting 6+hours SOT, now lucky to get 4), and phone is generally becoming slower.
Like many, I don't need crazy fancy ROMs, the G6 is surprisingly nice in stock format. Just want a clean, light, optimized ROM/kernel without all the TMobile crap they think people like.
