Sorry if this has been asked before, but my search did not find it and I definitely tried.
I do have a rooted S5 (VZW) and installed a lollipop ROM from the Verizon Development area. Is there a guide on how to install the unified ROMs or does it work the same way? I saw in one of the unified builds that TWRP is required, but I thought only SafeStrap is an option.
Can anyone guide me to an existing thread or shed some light on this for me, please? Thank you.

I know this is not the Q&A thread. Don't shoot me. But i figured this was a dev question. Does anybody think or have tried flashing the stock droid ultra ROM to the moto x since they are VERY SIMILAR phones? Is it possible? Can it be done? Has anybody tried? If not and I was to try it do you think I can flash stock moto x IMG files back to normal? Or will i fubar my bootloader. Running Moto x Dev edit Verizon. These are questions that have been running through my head. Just thought I might ask. And is anybody willing to help me look into it? Thank you for taking the time to read and reply.

Very similar is never close enough. Any ROM for a different phone will not work for a different device. Some exploit methods work on multiple devices but never Roms and kernals.

I only asked cause if cm11 pac-rom etc could do it maybe we could. Thanks for answering though. It was worth a shot. I just miss my droid ultra?
They are the same phone in almost every way and yes the builds are compatible, or at least the 4.2.2 and 4.4 builds were last year. When the leaked T-Mobile 4.4 build came out, I was running it perfect on my vzw moto x DE and at least one other person was running it on their droid ultra/maxx with no issues.
So your question for the devs was just answered by non devs. If you KNEW you were posting in the wrong thread, but wanted to make sure you got noticed please follow the rules next time. It's not like you didn't know this does not belong here.
Only try this if you have an unlocked boot loader. If you are locked then you are out of luck. Still recommend finding a build for your phone.

i posted here thinking maybe devs have already tried it and/or have a workaround for it. i'm not going to start a fight with you over the internet cause thats just petty.
Moved here as this does not belong in the Development Section, OP please read the Forum Rules on posting.
I'm just looking for some opinions and reccomendations on what you guys use for rooted S5 . What is you go to ROM and Kernel for ATT S5 ?

Thread moved to Q&A where it should have been posted originally. Please post in the correct sections; only things that are "created" belong in development. Next thread like this in development will receive more than a warning. Thanks.

First off, this is the development thread, opinion threads and such should go into the General section.
Secondly, creating Best threads is not advised on xda since it's unfair to the devs working on their respective ROMs and everyone has a different view for "best".
Lastly, most ROMs are similar since we are limited to Stock ROMs for now. Dynamic Kat is what I'm using mostly because it comes with an optional GPE theme which gives you a break from looking at Stock firmware and has all the goodies you will find in other ROMs.
I just got a G2 VS980027A. I can't seem to find any ROMs that specifically state they work with 027A. Will ROMs built for 024A work or do I need to go to back to 024A or up to 039A? This is my first experience with an LG phone.
If I need to go up or down, please point me to the procedure.
Thanks in advance.

To go custom you gotta obtain root and install recovery. 27A can be rooted I think with Stump Root. But because the G2 has several firmware revisions and 2 different exploits for recovery. Loki vs Bump I really recommend you spend a few days reviewing the forums. Threads by micromod777 and xdabbeb are good reads. It's in the Verizon forums. Cloudyfa autorec thread is a good one in the G2 general forum. Just read a bit. Then if you still have questions I'll be glad to help you.

I've already rooted and installed TWRP. Will read your suggested threads and get back to you if I have questions.
Thanks much.
This should be posted in the Q&A section as this is the Development section for the Verizon LG G2
I use Verizon and have a XT1096 that I unlocked the bootloader on and installed CM 13. I really miss the Moto specific features so I'm looking to go back to a Moto ROM. Are there any Moto Marshmallow ROMs that will run on my XT1096 and still connect to Verizon radios?
Thanks!

Awesome, thank you. This is exactly what I'm looking for, not sure how I missed it. Though it seems like it is still a bit too unstable for my liking. I will definitely be keeping an eye on the thread to see how it progresses and I'll probably make the jump soon.
Thanks!
I'm sorry, this has surely been answered somewhere but after spending most of my day trying to get Secure Settings working on Lollipop and a few more hours reading about the trouble rovo89 had with bootloops on Samsungs I'm totally confused. His thread didn't say he'd solved the issue but I found a couple of other threads that looked like they'd tried fixing it but I couldn't find anything specific for my phone model.
I have a freshly rooted Galaxy S5 neo running stock 5.1.1. and I have no idea if it's odexed or not (I used the Chainfire method to root). Can I use Xposed Installer on this? If so, where is the download please?

Please refer to this thread for information and discussion about Xposed for Lollipop. Read post #2, it contains all the information to identify the correct Xposed framework for your device. Most likely, you will need wanam's Xposed version, but please use the table provided in the official Xposed for Lollipop thread to identify the correct version by yourself.
Thank you! That's probably the one relevant thread I didn't find!
