ROM Availability?

I have an XT1072 (Thea), obviously there's not much going on for it, as it's fairly new I guess. I believe CM 12/12.1 is being worked on though?
I've unlocked my bootloader and rooted through Titan's TWRP with SuperSU., installed Xposed, All good!
I tried flashing a fair few Titan roms, just to see if any worked and I managed to flash Quantum LP/OS which is CM based and it runs great, really smooth.
The only problems I've found is with the rotation being inverted, the audio is too loud and obviously there's no 4G.
So, is there any way we/they can mod/patch it to enable 4G? Everything else seems to work perfectly.

It's still in Alpha, so it will have bugs. I haven't encountered any yet though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Install the apk and reboot to recovery > flash the zip and clear dalvik cache > reboot.

Apparently your module won't work on kitkat, that's a new one. But unless you upgrade to lollipop, you're sol

I cant upgrade to lollipop because my phone is low end no support even update to 4.4.4 and i heard that xposed framework works best on dalvik kitkat to ics

There's no xposed for kk art, only dalvik if that's what you're asking. Regardless, it seems the module isn't compatible with kk.

Ok thanks
Btw the module is androplusmod

Curious My Friend What Device do you Have,
Out of Curiosity if you could provide me
Manufacture
Device Model
Product Name
baseband
modem
Kernel
Carrier
CSC code
Country CSC code
total ram
Knox Status
& if your rooted the method you chose
Phone Tools in Play Store should help you locate this information
sometimes it is possible to find compatible replacement
& if not there is always the option to highly customize and lighten the current system your using to maximize its potential
& Xposed really is more hit and Miss it really is determined by the requisitions the device on is requiring of their device so sometimes Yes and sometimes No
and for lollipop xposed it tends to be a bit buggy & sometimes creates a clunker instead of a masterful device

Any way to keep the Motorola features?

[Warning: I'm relatively new to Android. I've used it for about a year, and I have a decent understanding on how it works. I've rooted and used Safestrap before and know the basics on almost everything, but not much more.]
I'm planning on purchasing a license for Sunshine, and unlocking my bootloader for my new Turbo. I was planning on using it to install a custom rom, like CyanogenMod, since that's the only rom I've used before, and possibly trying some new ones. However, I realized that I would lose all the Motorola features, like Moto Voice, Moto Actions, Moto Display, and so on. I love these features and use them all the time, so I don't want to give them up. Is there some kind of way to keep them with a different rom?
I was thinking that maybe there was a custom rom that has these features, or maybe there's some way to install them onto a regular custom rom.
Any ideas?

If you're planning on going to anything based on cyanogenmod, no. Someone would need to port these apps to the new rom, and no one has done that yet. However, some of the features can be replicated using other apps. For example, Moto Display is almost identical to the native android feature Ambient Display. You can use Ok Google voice commands for most Moto Voice applications.
An alternative would be to download a modified stock firmware (such as the one maintained by Computerfreek), or modify one yourself. This way, you can keep the Moto apps. Modifying your own firmware is very easy using TWRP (which you will install after unlocking your bootloader). Usually it's as simple as finding a flashable .zip file that contains the feature(s) you want to add and flashing it via TWRP.

You don't need to. Just download the ones that you want. For example:
1. Upgrade to the latest official firmware (SU4TL-44) and unlock your bootloader with Sunshine.
2. Want root access? Use TWRP to flash SuperSU. Download that flashable zip here: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
3. Want to use the Xposed framework to easily modify your device in a ton of different ways? Use TWRP to flash it. Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 (you need SDK22 arm)
4. Want to add audio optimizations? Flash PON-3. Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530976. Flash it, same as the others.
The installation for all of these is the same. Once your bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is installed, boot into TWRP, select "install", select the .zip file that you want to install, and flash it. Done.

I've used Xposed before on my old Safestrap device. I thought about using Xposed on the stock rom, but I was hoping there was another option, since custom roms offer much more than Xposed modules do. Thanks for the links, I think I'll go with what you said. One question though, so there's no way to flash or install the Moto suite onto a custom rom (with or without TWRP)?
And one more thing, is it possible to use the IR sensors in the Turbo to wake up the Ambient display? (Like when you wave your hand over it and it shows the Moto Display.)

There is no way that I know of to get Moto et al working on a different rom. Like I said, the apps would have to be ported. I'm not very knowledgeable about what that entails, but I do know that the Moto apps need more than just their respective apks to function properly. They require extra libraries, drivers, etc. to work, most of which are probably kernel-related (you can't use the stock kernel on a non-Motorola rom). So someone porting those apps would have to either integrate these supplementary files into CM or AOSP or whatever, or rewrite the apps so that they rely on existing google code.

Dang it, that's unfortunate. Guess Xposed, and custom kernals and images will have to suffice. Thanks for the help!

Xposed, particularly gravitybox. I'm not really sure what you meant when you said that custom roms offer so much more than xposed does. I used custom roms for a long time on my Galaxy S4, and except for AOSP vs TouchWiz or installing a more recent version of android, I can't think of a single thing that a custom rom can do that an xposed module can't.

For me, custom roms don't exactly offer much more than modules do, but the experience of using a custom rom is much greater. Since everything is made by the same developers, it flows well with each other. Instead of having to rely on multiple modules that have to be updated, you can just install what is essentially a new OS, and get an entirely new flavour of Android.

But there are many functions and apps that do exactly the same thing.
Ambient Display = Moto Display
OK Google = Moto Voice
plus tons of apps to read notifications, texts, emails.
Etc.
I dumped my Motorola stuff months ago and have everything I need.
It's not that big a deal.
Open source is almost always better than proprietary stuff anyway.

Agreed. If you're willing to learn and set up some things, I bet you could get 100% moto functionality without a single moto app. Does anyone know of an app that will give me the chop-chop flashlight? Because when I eventually make the move to CM (assuming we ever get CM13), that will be the feature I miss most. And I'm being completely serious about that.

I find Moto Display to be much cleaner than Ambient Display.
Moto Voice was nice because of the custom launch phrase, and the system commands you could do.
Moto Actions comes in handy almost every day, especially the Dual Chop and Camera wrist twist.
If I could find I way to replace all or most of this then I would be content.

Download Commandr from the play store. I think that allows you to customize your OK Google phrase. It also allows you to add or customize OK Google commands.
But yeah, I use the actions a lot too, and I don't know of an app that will replace them.

The problem I have with Ambient Display is that it doesn't work when I toggle my lockscreen off. MotoDisplay still showed me notifications. With ambient display and lockscreen off, I have no way to visually know my notifications.

N-ify and xposed in 8.4 BLU

Hi guys I surprisingly installed 8.4 version and xposed v87 with ease. I have been trying modules and although I can't embed a number in my sim (I have fixed this now!!) exposed seems to work all right
I have checked n-ify and was excited however the very old stable vesion doesn´t show correctly the quick settings, and the top buttons, quick shortcut to settings doesn't work. However I read in the xposed forum for this phone that various people got it working, they used daily builds where quick settings and even the Google assistant worked, posted on October I searched for these, but I got stuck on 650, and early September build, newer ones will crash the system UI and render the device unusable until I delete the apk folder.
Soo does anyone have it with quicksettings and working? thanks for your time and support!!
UPDATE: I have disabled version 650 when rotating the device it would make SystemUI crash, and i tried disabling features to make it stable again but didn't mind turning it off all together, support and testing from everyone is very welcome

yeap its works i dont how it works but i hope that issue with camera on nogat fixed

Nify version:0.2 and install stock rom v21 update. Xposed v87 sdk 23 arm try and tell me if it works

I have the "modified" newest 8.4 Rom (downloaded here & TWRP flashed, latest SU v2.82 running with Busybox ) ... OTA disabled (of course) to avoid relocking the bootloader, etc. Xposed Installer v3.1.1 and then Xposed Framework v87 (API23) - reboot in between. Finally, GravityBox (MM) v6.3.7 running - that allows me to tweak & customize my Lockscreen, Statusbar, Pulldown, etc. - those couldn't be done on the near stock MM 6.0 debloated & already stripped of Amazon Apps.
Everything is running smooth & stable since the mod's are basic & minimal ... also, unrelated but added 6.0.1 Emojis for messaging. Going to run with this basic setup for a little while before I attempt to play with N-ify.

Working good over here as well...!

[Help requested] Options for Root and Xposed on XZ1C

Just ordered my XZ1C and looking forward to joining this community!
I'm looking to root and install systemless xposed (Magisk) on the XZ1C while keeping camera functionality equivalent to stock quality. It would be great if the solution allows me to keep current with new ROM versions (primarily for security updates). What is less important:
- Ok with either stock or custom ROMs (access to ongoing security updates most important)
- Know that DRM keys will be gone forever (but as long as camera functionality still there, that's fine)
- Ok with using any camera app (stock, gcam, etc.) as long as it retains quality similar to stock
After trawling through this and the XZ1 forum, I believe there are 3 options to achieve what I need (root and xposed), and would like advice from the community on pros/cons of each of the following:
1. Custom ROM with DRM fix included: Unlock bootloader, install TWRP, install custom ROM which comes with DRM fix (e.g. @modpunk 's LineageOS, @russel5 's RR or AOSP)
2. @janjan 's kernel: Unlock bootloader, update to latest compatible stock firmware using flashtool, install janjan's DRM fix kernel
3. Xperifix: "automated" black-box solution and fingers crossed that it works
Any recommendations on which option would be best for me given my objectives? Thanks!

You can use my stock mod. Ddmfix included, superuser mod, deodexed, on the last page of thread you can find fix for xposed

russel5's rom is pretty amazing, full of features and falls into number 1 on your list.
2 and 3 refrence stock roms with either a fixed kernel or automated flashing of all the files you need.
The stock camera is best and as much as I am tempted by rr, I don't think it beats stock camera software for pictures. So I'd say a lot of your decision has to do with how much you like taking pictures?
The stock firmware from April .75 is the last firmware that works with Xposed and one of your problems will be finding a copy of that to flash and downgrade your new arrival.
You might need to get janjan's old (.75) kernel from github as he is only showing the latest 16.20 on his thread.
I get moaned at for promoting Xperiafix because it's paid software, but it's a one stop shop, it does everything and it's so easy. It has worked smoothly every time I've used it
Depending on your skillset and how many files you want to find and flash Vs one program.

- so seems like between Xposed and having the latest security updates, I have to choose one of the two. Or might there be a workaround for Xposed on the 16.20 stock rom?
- with xperifix, can one achieve Xposed? (Whether on latest or downgraded rom?)
- purchased this phone partly for the camera, so I will go with stock rom if that has the best quality. Does stock rom also have a portrait or lens blur mode similar to google cam?

As far as I'm aware there's no way a stock rom 16.20 will work with Xposed. There are several custom roms that are updated to 16.20, but still pull historical parts of the framework with them to make Xposed work.
Xperiaifx will work on .75 firmware. It will install TWRP, Magisk and the fix. Once you have Magisk on it you can install the Xposed framework module (SDK26)
The Sony camera has many addons, I don't know about portrait.
Google camera works on russel5's rr, but again the quality isn't up to stock.
Having been through the pollava of unlocking and rooting my phone, I'd say the advantages don't outweigh the effort and problems. Every time there's an update to the firmware, which is quite often with Sony, you have to wait and hope some nice developer is going to make the files you need to keep up to date. Then go through a long proccess with downloading the new firmware with Xperiafirm, then flashing with Newflasher and then whatever files you need to reflash from the developer. You'll never get OTA updates again. Having a rooted phone is a pain in the neck.

2. flash magisk via twrp.
3. boot into phone and copy xposed fix into /system/framework/
4. then flash systemless xposed via twrp?

i used janjan's mod to get systemless root on stock. with this you are able to update using newflasher all the latest roms with security updates provided by Sony
you don't have to choose between xposed and the latest security updates:
for xposed, i've tried both Taichi Magisk (taichi.cool) and Virtual Xposed (also via Magisk). both work fine but Taichi is a smoother implementation (only activates xposed for those apps that you whitelist). it is however not open source (yet), though this was not a concern for me. also, it supports not all xposed apps but a subset
the xposed modules that i absolutely needed to have are all working on Taichi: Xposed Edge, CorePatch, AppContext, WeXposed, God Mode

hi @d_fens. how did you go about installing this system less xposed fix on your stock oreo 16.20? should i do the following:
1. stock oreo 16.20
2. flash magisk via twrp.
3. boot into phone and copy xposed fix into /system/framework/
4. then flash systemless xposed via twrp?
thanks
