I'm new - Moto X Q&A

Hi everyone. As the title says, I'm new to the moto x 2013 (xt1058). I have experience flashing roms and kernels with another device, so I'm not new to this kind of stuff.
I wonder whats the differecen between the two forum branches: "moto x 2013 android development" and "orgininal moto x 2013 android development".
My stock android is 4.4.2
Do you guys recommend me some roms, or should stay on stock?
I'm not a big fan of bleeding edge soft, but I'm VERY insterested on stability, smoothness, non-bug, non-lag sistems. (If you know MiniCM7 by nobodyatall, you'll get the idea).
So, with all that said, again...Do you guys recommend me some roms, or should stay on stock?
Thank you very much!

Somebody plz help. I'm not asking a difficult question

http://www.xda-developers.com/introducing-original-development-forums-for-more-devices/
Whether you stick with stock or a custom ROM is your personal choice. Both have their own pros and cons, and there are plenty of roms to compare 'em all.

Ok, thanks! So, where can I find more stable and bugs-free roms ? (no matter if it is KK or LL)
What I understand from the link you gave, is that original forum has developers own work, and that make me think this is the forum for me. Am I right?

I see almost everything is experimental. Nothing to do here, I guess...

Now which configuration?

Hallo @ all nexus one users.
I buyed an nexus one before 10 minutes.
Now i wanted to know, what i should put on the phone ( radio/ rom/ kernel)...
I was an windows mobile user all the time and it is my first android device.
I want pure speed on it ( fastes kernel, overclocking etc.)
Also i need a good GPRS/ GPS connection.
Can you guys tell me please what i have to install on this device to get this?
Which rom2.2. or 2.3./ kernel/ radio.
I am a noob @ android but i will follow your tipps.
Best regards,
BikerBoy030
no help?
my ideas are now to use 5.12 Radio, because it is the newest and so it should / could be the best.
And to use the Wildmonk´s Kernel 2.6.35.10 because of the possibility to get the most Mhz out of the device.
is this a good choice?
but which rom should i use fot this?
Best regards, bikerboy030
Lack of answers in a busy forum should let you know that you either asked a very hard question, or a very wrong question. Since this obviously can't be a hard question, you're left with a wrong one.
Read the FAQ, question 1. Maybe it'll help you understand, why you're not seeing any answers.
As for roms, Froyo roms such as Enomother's TheOfficial NexusOne is the best to me after using so many froyo's roms. Its the most stable and fastest and have very good battery life.
As for gingerbread, CM7 nightlies are good if you want updates everyday. Otherwise Leogingerbread is good and stable. But currently i'm using SuperAOSP by [email protected] and find it the best gingerbread rom so far.

.....
I don't want to argue, but i asked not for an speciall rom, i ask for 2.2. or 2.3.
Because i dont know a different between these roms.
maybe my english was too bad.
the question for kernels etc was because i didn't knew, what i should install.
@ navlem: thanks i will try these roms and i will see, which i want to use
The answer is the same:
In every ROM thread in Development forum you'll see the descriptions of the ROM.
Try them all and see what you like.

ROM questions

hey folks,
Looking at flashing my first rom, still deciding between serendipity, miui and CM7. In terms of stability, which one is currently the best? I know many are a matter of opinion. The one thing I cannot piece together is the talk of kernals and modems. Do you need to install these if you flash a custom rom? Do they come with the rom install?
This should be posted on the Q&A section.
Mod, please move.

I'm on Serendipity 7 right now and love it its extremely stable for what I use the phone for.
As for kernels and modems they usually come with the rom they are flashed when the rom is. The modem controls all of the radio aspects of the phone while the kernels runs various functions of the phone.
But questions like this should be in Q&A for future reference.

Few things:
- There is no "best" anything on XDA, it's all opinion, and both members and MODs tend to frown upon "what's the best XXXX" type threads
- This question should have been posted in "Q&A" not development
- It sounds like you need to READ quite a bit more before you try to go about flashing anything. If you're asking questions like "what is a kernel or modem?" you probably aren't qualified to start flashing yet. It's dangerous, and can turn your phone into an expensive coaster.
Welcome to XDA!
not worried about bricking as I've worked on a number of devices outside of android. Just looking for some quick answers. Didn't need three flames...
Your quick answers are already answered. The flames are not flames but someone frustrated by someone asking the same question that's been answered so many times its unreal. Seeing as how there is a thread conviently named how to flash a ROM over in the Q&A section the "flames" are warrented. If you want my opinion the best way to learn something is by just doing it. Read, read, and read some more. Honestly, you're lucky that the "flames" were as nice as the were.
This thread is probably about to be closed...
Please don't ask these sort of questions in the Dev section. People will get angry and they will tell you. This isn't about development at all so it has no need to be in this forum. To sort of answer your question, IN MY OPINION Samsung based ROMs will provide more stability than CM7/MIUI.

[SOLVED] Installing a custom ROM on Xperia Z1 using XZDualRecovery

Hello guys. I'm new to the community, but I did my homework and I can honestly say I've spent a good +40 hours on this site in the past month, and it paid off since I'm now the proud owner of a rooted Xperia Z1 running 4.4.2 KitKat with XZdualrecovery which is something I tought I would never do out of fear of bricking my device and the lack of information and support for my rather "slightly rare" C6906 model with annoyances like a non-unlockable bootloader , where the C6903 and C6902 models get all the attention. Anyway guys, I rooted my phone, awesome...but for me, the next step is installing a custom rom, because I feel that the stock xperia Z1 firmware is not enough for my customizing needs, plus I also envy the stock like experience it provides, even more than my Z1. I read up on a few guides for installing cyanogenmod on the Z1, but they all seem to be only supported for the C6903 and C6902 models. Plus, it doesn't help to motivate myself knowing that my C6906 model still has a locked bootloader (apparently) and I've read unlocking the bootloader is a requirement for installing custom ROMs. So, my questions are:
Is XZDualRecovery enough to install custom ROMs? Specially the version with the locked bootloader? Could I run into any issues?
If the answer to the previous question is yes, Are there any good guides concerning the C6906 model on how to install custom roms? (Or more importantly, cyanogenmod? [preferably versions that have been tested on the C6906])
You cannot install anything like Cyanogenmod as it needs an unlocked bootloader
You can install any rom from the development section, just follow the locked bootloader instructions
Now that you have recovery, make a backup and follow the instructions in the thread.
Thanks!

Thank you! You saved me a lot of time so I can stop searching for a way to install CM. I will look into the development section them. Any recommendations on what's a good/stable/popular ROM I can install then?

No, and xda mods don't like that question being asked. Best ROM and asking for best ROM threads get closed quickly. Here is why..
If you ask someone which pizza they should buy then people give their own favourites as a recommendation. I like hot, spicy and meaty ones, but if recommend that to you may say "That's disgusting!" you may be one of those people who like anchovies and sweetcorn on their pizza. That may be perfect for you, but I will hate it
In short, you have to try them yourself and see which one suits you best. One bit of advice though, even if someone recommends a ROM to you, its no guarantee you will like it.
Part of the appeal of android is that we can customise so much, so try, test for a week (It takes that long to get an idea of performance and battery) then move on and try another.
Once you have done that, flash your favourite.

Flash a Rom and see for yourself. Everyone has different taste
I'd recommend firekat for your first flash. It's what I'm running on this phone.

For lollipop I'd go cmRemix:

[VS980] What do i need for custom ROMs?

Hello, i was looking to flash ROMs on my VS980 but i don't know what bootstack, bootloader, kernel etc i am using, my phone was pre-rooted so i don't know the method used to root it (if it matters).
Here is how far i have gone--
--I am rooted.
--I don't know if i am having a stock ROM, it looks like stock but it was pre-rooted (i got this phone second hand)
--I used AutoRec to install TWRP
--I then flashed Blastagator's f2fs TWRP. (But i didn't get the cm-13 kernel (???) any reason?)
Can you tell me what am i having? How to find out which bootloader and bootstack and kernel i'm using?
I will flash AOSP ROM's only, it will help greatly to know what do i have and what do i need.
ROMs i have shortlisted--
Android Nougat | AOSP
--crDroid
--Paranoid Android
--Resurrection Remix M
Android M | AOSP
--Exodus ROM
--Dirty Unicorns

Get the kernels, bootstacks for A models only (Your model is an A model), be smart, not stupid, follow all directions on the threads, even if they seem pointless I've learned with the G series sometimes pointless sh*t fixes everything LOL.

Well, thanks for the reply (really, i didn't knew that there was classification like "A" etc).
Soon after this post i decided on a ROM first (CrDroid), then read all the instructions and related subtopics and threads and then it was time to walk the walk, i did it and it worked in the first try! And in the process i learned a thing or two and helped 2 other people! And CrDroid is an excellent ROM. :good:
