Google promised Lollipop would have encryption by default, but turns out it's not true.
1) if you upgrade to Lollipop on Nexus 5, it's not automatically encrypted. It's choice to encrypt or not. I know, because I upgrade prior to selling my Nexus 5. Should be the same with the Moto Maxx, or any pre-Lollipop device.

Luckily, encryption is not enforced by default, even if you make a clean install using a factory image. If you have upgraded to Android 5.0 Lollipop on a pre-Nexus 6 device, then using encryption is your call.

That was written November 2014, but now in 2015 we see...
2) lots of new Android phones on Lollipop are not encrypted.
WHY?
Google quietly backs away from encrypting new Lollipop devices by default
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015...m-encrypting-new-lollipop-devices-by-default/
Google won't force Android encryption by default (update)

Is there a way to see if encrypt?

In 4.4.4 KitKat, if not encrypted, you will see a description of what encryption does. The screenshot above is from my Moto Maxx.
In 5.x Lollipop, if not encrypted, it will say "Encrypt Phone":
If already encrypted, it will simply say "Encrypted" under that entry.
This is identical to what my wife's HTC Nexus 9 tablet looks like, which came encrypted from the factory with Lollipop.
However, many new Lollipop Android devices are showing up without encryption being enabled due to the performance hit of encryption. Google is allowing that. If you upgrade from prior version of Android OS to Lollipop you get to choose whether to turn it on or not.
droid turbo 4.4.4 won't encrypt
So I decided to encript my phone. I did what it told me and it just reboots idk iv tryed it 20 or so times now. Anyone with a helpful idea

Being unlocked and rooted alone will not prevent you from seeing the OTA notification. However, modifications to the /system and/or /recovery partition will more than likely cause the OTA update to fail when you try to install it.
Most people use fastboot/mfastboot to flash a clean stock version of /system and /recovery (assuming you're using TWRP or similar for root access), then take the OTA to get the update. Once updated, reflash TWRP with fastboot/mfastboot, flash SuperSU from TWRP and you're back in business. This is how I upgraded my rooted and unlocked XT1060 from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4.

What @fury683 has posted is the correct answer..
One thing I will caution you about... IF that is Lollipop, you might want to take a wait and see... to make sure rooting is the same. And/Or do some research first.
Initially, due to security changes, rooting lollipop needed a custom kernel. Later that was supposedly solved. But I haven't followed enough to know the complete details.
Chances are good that once you get Lollipop on there, you want be able to downgrade to 4.4.4 or lower.
Better wait for people to confirm first then. I feel naked when my phone is not rooted.

And actually, I'm confused as to why you are posting that picture... 212.44.26 is KitKat 4.4.4 per Moto -> https://motorola-global-en-uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/100576
I'm just throwing this out there to maybe save a few people out there the headache and wasted time I experience not knowing Xposed would not install with the latest version of TWRP and was not compatible with Android 5.1 (at the time of this writing.)
How did I make this mistake a few days ago? 95% of all web pages describing any requirements (including the official thread here) or describing installation instructions fail to mention either of these issues. Granted most of those articles were probably written before 5.1 was released and just not updated. For the person that simply googles "Xposed Android Lollipop Installation" instead of wading through dozens and dozens of post in XDA, to finally find a post that discusses the 5.1 incompatibility, this is a potential pitfall.
I do think the official thread should say "compatible with Android 4.0 to 5.0.x" instead of just saying "compatible with Android 4.0 and above."
Just want to say that i flashed Xposed with TWRP 2.8.6.0 and it works fine on Moto G Titan :good:
yes. this happened to me too.

Can't flash xposed using TWRP 2.8.6.0, too. My device is Nexus 5 Android 5.0.1. Switching to TWRP 2.8.5.3 solve this.

Xposed currently is only for 32 bit ROMs.
Well that's good to know, will save a lot of money by not upgrading to the M9

There is an issue with some (maybe all?) TWRP 2.8.6.0 builds missing the "unzip" binary and busybox in general. I know this affects hammerhead and victara at least. I've added a small check to the installer to account for this but probably the best course of action is to use 2.8.5.x until the issue is resolved with the TWRP build servers.
This does not only affect Xposed BTW. SuperSU 2.48 beta was just released and contains a similar check for the same reason.
Wait.....i have the TWRP 2.8.6.1 and use the modules without problems but i am on android 4.3. stock S3.......maybe for this? xposed is incompatible with the last TWRP but on L, right?
i have install with twrp on my nexus 5 well but whent boot its optimize the app and finish,when finish its do restart like boot loops.. why and how i can fix it please?
The OP should fix the thread title, afaik it only concerns 2.8.6.0 builds.
I'm on Lollipop 5.1 with TWRP 2.8.6.1 on Nexus 5 and I was able to flash and use the Xposed Framework no problem.
Hello, XDA! First post! Long time lurker though.
So I got this X1069 and I wanna root it because the battery life is horrendous, probably because of the bigger screen. (coming from a 1st gen Moto E) but I don't currently have access to a computer in order to accomplish this. And public computers have deep freeze which means I can't install moto drivers (since they require restart).
I've looked into PC-less rooting, nothing. Looked into skipping the unlock bootloader step, still nothing. So I came to you guys. I don't think it's unfeasible to root a device directly from the device itself, or from another rooted android. My Moto E is fully rooted, bootloader unlocked, running AICP. Rooted it months ago and haven't needed to hook it up to a PC since. So is there a way to unlock bootloader or at least install TWRP without the need of a computer? Or moto drivers, specifically? Maybe cloud rooting or via a rooted android?
Thanks in advance. Oh and my Moto G came with lollipop out the box. That also seems to have sealed some loopholes.
Keep Moto apps
Oh, and a side question. When I rooted my Moto E and installed custom ROMs, I seem to have lost the ability to use native Moto apps. Is there a way to fix this, or at least prevent it from happening again on the Moto G?
No root without unlock bootloader.
Some stock apps won't work in custom rom (cyanogenmod and aosp based), for camera and gallery somewhere in the apps forum is a thread with a flashable zip
I meant in the play store, I'm no longer able to install them normally. If I have to flash them I might as well flash ported apps from better devices.
Well is there a way to unlock bootloader without a computer? Or a way to bypass the need to restart after installing Moto drivers?
very hard to do...
But you can check if you have access to the device without moto drives.
you can run "mfastboot" from a pen-driver, an use this comando to check if the device is plunged ok.
mfastboot devices
if the answer is like that you don't need drivers:

This script is installed through a custom recovery (TWRP / CWM).
It was developed with the idea of removing all apps that do not use google, so we need only downloaded from the Google Play.
OTA updates support Motorola shifted to avoid conflict if we downgrade to KitKat or do not want to upgrade to lollipop (in case you would like to spend a lollipop install the firmware manually).
CHANGELOG
V1
* Only with KitKat in any version of firmware.
* Removes OTA update support a lollipop (avoid problems if we want to downgrade to KitKat or stay in the same without passing lollipop)
* Removes google apps that are available in the Google Play (with exception of Google and Google Search TTS) including libraries and dependencies of each application.
* Remove the Asian keyboards
* Removes live wallpapers included (not eliminate support live wallpapers, live wallpapers only)
V2
* ...comming soon Lollipop.[/code]
V1-KK
waiting for v2.... will it also work with 5.1?
Thank you in advance
This is a much needed feature, but you may want to split it to variants.
For example one version to remove this-that-and-that and other for extra this-and-that, and a full version that removes everything.
Cause some people like "some" Moto features and others don't!
When you have some time in your hands can you check if you could bring Moto Display to other roms, aosp/cm based... "that" would be one of the greatest feats our the Moto X 2014 threads!
Waiting on V2. This is a much needed piece of code
waiting for v2 I need to clean a lot of bloatware from my moto x.
If you use link2sd to freeze motorolaOTA and uninstal a lot of bloatware it's better!and unfreeze when you need to work again!
It works even with moto x 1st gen?
still nothing about V2.. it's a shame.. :'(
Hello is it possible to downgrade this new firmware release?
I have already tried all other stock ROMS and ODIN FAILED all time.
I just want to confirm if its possible to downgrade, if yes, then how to go back to 5 1 1.
Thank you for reading

I think it is better to prevent user to downgrade their Phones. As you know, since Android 5.1.1 released, Google replace the Samsung Reactivation Lock with their Factory Reset Protection. But in the lower versions of the android, there is many way to bypass this protection on Samsung Devices. Samsung fixed it on their security patches. Just imagine that if user can downgrade their phone to any version of android, when a thief steals the phone, they can easily to bypass it and make the phone become theirs.
Thank you for replying but I am still clueless if I can downgrade that specific android version I showed in screenshot above.
no one?
Have you tried TEKHD's stock-rooted 5.1.1?
You cannot downgrade... Once bootloader is upgraded there is no way back. You can try but highly you'll end with bricked device ... Also if you try custom roms they wont boot due to mismatch bootloader and recovery. Maybe if you search google you will find a way to do it but if i was you i would not take the risk
