I have a non dev Moto X from Verizon (XT1060, first gen). It is currently running 4.4.4. What is the most I can do with it? Reading several threads, I am unable to find a conclusive answer regarding this. Looks like sunshine doesn't work nor do most one click tools. My goal is to flash a debloated ROM at the very least if possible.
You won't be able to flash any custom rom without an unlocked bootloader and that's that really. At most you could root(when possible) and manually uninstall bloatwares from the stock rom. I'm glad I had troubles upgrading my phone initially and was able to read about sunshine app on time.

to the moon and back at least, of course try krypton, or maybe even the modded 5.1 for the 1060, I prefer krypton but the modded 5.1 came a long way quickly I just wasn't feeling the change from simplicity (less options but works perfect for me) of Moto Assist, to the more complex options in LP :/ Check out the respect threads for each rom!
Safestrap only works for 4.4.2 no?

Change from password to PIN screen unlock after full ecryption
I have krypton 1.4 on my moto x and yesterday I succesfully encrypted it using a strong password, but now I find that it is really a pain in the a.. to input that password everytime I need to unlock. So I'm wondering if it is posible to change the unlock method from password to PIN without messing the phone or loosing information.
Also, is it still posible to upgrade ROM after full encryption?
Thanks
about management of the radio
I wanted to know if this rom is there any change in the management of the radio than the stock Motorola
IN my moto x xt1052 sometimes during the handover signal drops to zero, and often the device is very lazy to change from 2G to 3G
thanks

Hi!
Do you have a G+ Community for this ROM?

Is anyone using this ROM with Tapatalk notifications working?
I've tried using it but none of the Tapatalk active display notifications work. Every other notification works fine with active display though.
Then when I SBF back to stock Tapatalk notifications work fine. I've tried going back and forth between both several times. Stock always work and Krypton never does.
Any ideas? I'd love to use this.
in other custom rom there is a nice settings Power Battery, is it possible to install on this rom?

I believe this ROM is prefect mixed with xposed and doesn't need anything just my opinion. It's my daily for a long long time. I've been toying with LP just for fun and I'm sure once official drops krypton will work his magic on 5.0
CM11 Theme Manager
Hi!
Is possible to add the CM11 theme manager to the rom?
Or because is closed source you can't modify too much the rom?
Thanks!

Cm themer needs a rom based on CM. Possibly other aosp roms can add it.... But this is based on stock moto firmware, it won't work.
Google now isn't working for me after a fresh installation. Restored backup of stock ROM and it worked again.
For some reason the phone radio is terrible on this ROM so sad had to go back to stock..... XT1052
downgrade?
I currently have a Verizon xt1060 running Safestrap with Krypton 1.4.1 (4.4.4) installed. I want to drop back to a version that allows sunshine usage. Can I just restore my original backup of the original firmware that I made in the very beginning?
Thanks!

If you're talking about a nandroid then yes you can flash back to that but it won't affect your ability to use sunshine. You would have to get back to older firmware which would likely brick your phone if you tried. Search for "downgrade brick" and you'll see. You just will have to wait for sunshine 3.0 and don't take a lollipop ota should it come out before sunshine.

I believe my nandroid is 4.4.2 or 4.4.3. So, it will be compatible with Sunshine. I did use the tool to update the kernel though, per the optional instructions in the krypton thread. Will those revert when i nandroid in the safestrap bootloader? Do I just restore as normal into the stock ROM slot or will a basic hard reset do it since it is the bootstrap recovery not a normal custom recovery? Again for reference, this is a Verizon xt1060 nondev, currently locked boatloader.

So I don't know much of anything about safestrap and whether an older (4.4.3 or less) primary rom will still allow you to use sunshine. Take my advice with a grain of salt but I think the best answer is still to just wait for sunshine 3.0 and get a real unlocked bootloader.
Best stock KitKat rom for the Moto X can't wait for the Lollipop build.
Is there a bare bones ROM available for 4.4.4? I recall some being available for previous devices and those seem to have to have the best performance and most popular. Basically just the stock ROM debloated and flashable via TWRP. And if so, would this have working touchless control/active display?
thanks!
The reason it probably isn't there is that most people just root and delete the 10-20 apks manually. Takes pretty much the same amount of time for the same end result.

Here you go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-krypton-v1-2-v1-3b1-6-9-2014-t2716657 You can always remove more.
I'm using Epsilon Project ROM on my XT1060 Verizon Dev edition running AT&T Sim card. It's very minimalist, has working active display and touchless control, and reduces battery consumption considerably compared to stock (DU Battery Saver estimated battery time jumped from 18 hours to 28 hours from full).
Here's the link to the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-epsilon-project-v1-0-09-03-clean-t2866450
thanks for the feedback y'all, looks like I've got some reading/research to do.
IMNUTS - agreed, but from my experience, I think it's best to start with a clean slate rather than trying to debloat various apps - as those could have left other files on the system that could hinder performance.
Make sure to look into Krypton(blur/stock based), Eclipse(same):good:. Honestly I've only ran Krypton but I went back to stock rooted... + xposed etc... had some lag here and there in Krypton, stock is noticiably snappier for me:/ *shrugs

Do you guys (or anyone) know if I would be able to downgrade to a stock 4.4.2 after upgrading to 4.4.4 on Krypton (or any custom ROM, for that matter)? I know there's been a lot of talk about how you shouldn't downgrade... I've always been a little unclear as to whether that applies to stock ROMs only or both stock and custom.
Also, what happens if the install doesn't work? Can I flash a downgraded ROM? I tried installing the latest CM11 for my phone, but it failed, and I reinstalled a stock 4.2.2, and just reading through the forums... I feel like that was a big freakin' no-no.

Roms don't flash bootloader and other certain things, so... The rule is really, don't downgrade official firmware, ever. Once you flash 4.4.2 or higher, you cannot downgrade. Roms are not included, as they don't touch the bootloader. So yes, if you were on official 4.4.2 firmware, flashed a 4.4.4 custom rom, and want to flash 4.4.2 official firmware again.... That's fine.
But if you flash 4.4.4 firmware with fastboot or RSDLite, that's it.... No going back to 4.4.2.
Now, my disclaimer.... You SHOULD be OK. There's no guarantees in life, especially on phone flashing.... Anything can go horribly wrong anytime and doing anything. So do all this at your own peril. ?
Thanks!

Hi All,
My Moto X (1st Gen) is about 4 months old. I'm contemplating on rooting the phone. Is it worth the effort or should I patiently wait for the Lollipop update to come in (whenever that is!). I used a lot of custom roms in my old Nexus 4, so missing the excitement of a new rom. just a bit indecisive at the moment. Would love your opinions on this.

I am using the Moto X for nealry 9 months now. Never thought of rooting it as I didnt find any bloat here like the Touchwiz
I am honestly very tempted by the ROMs out there. And I don't know why but I'm definitely noticing some performance lag. Tried everything but not seeing a lot of improvement.

Before you go contemplating this question, figure out if you'll be able to root your phone in the first place.
Then instead of asking this question, ask whether or not you should unlock the bootloader. It's the only way to maintain root since 4.4.4 patched the vulnerabilities used to attain root.
There are reasons why I would root like Tasker(full functionality),a custom kernel or UI changes
I rooted my X so I can play with gravity box and other stuff. Unrooting and relocking the bootloader isn't hard to do and that's what I'll do once Lollipop comes out for my phone. (Already factory reset my phone once from custom Rom).

I meant to say return to stock recovery. I read somewhere that you can't get OTA with a custom recovery, Rom and rooted.

Gotcha, that is true. Stock recovery and stock system and you are good to go.
I personally root all my devices for better control. However, I personally don't use Roms because I want a stock experience and that includes boot animation and themes. The only Roms I have ever kept on my phones were ARHD and Paranoid Android. If neither are available, I go with Xposed.
I'm currently on Krypton 1.4 (Kitkat 4.4.4) and this is pretty much stock 4.4.4 with the carrier bloat removed and some additional tweaks. I have not seen 5.1.1 ROM in a similar fashion, am I overlooking something in the development section or since 5.1.1 was recently OTA I need to exercise more patience? Thank you!
There is no VZW 5.x OTA, so that's probably why you've not seen anything. Maybe wait until there is an actual update before asking again?

Exercise more patience.
5.1 is still going through Test Drive and Soak tests, it hasn't been finally pushed yet to anyone... The full push MIGHT happen next week -> https://plus.google.com/+DavidSchuster/posts/ci1UAEv2oYB
I'm not sure how long it will then take to make a custom rom built on 5.1 after it hits our phones. If they'll need to wait for the SBF files, or what...
And since you have a Non-Dev Verizon device, you might want to see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/lollipop-warning-unlocked-via-sunshine-t3114428 But if you're not planning on taking an OTA, then you should be relatively ok.
Hi everyone
I had a Verizon XT1060 DE that was rooted and unlocked on KitKat. The flashlight/camera flash came loose and it had to be RMA'd over a year ago. Not long after, I got a sweet deal on a LG G4 and the new Moto X (still bootloader locked) sat in a drawer. The LG G4 softbricked during a Verizon OTA update last week and they've sent me a new one (now in the same drawer), and in the meantime I picked up the 2013 Moto X.
This morning I unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp 2.8.6.0-ghost, and rooted with SuperSU. I'm excited to have the Moto X back as my main phone (I missed it, for sure) and I'd love to debloat all the verizon crap.
Can anyone recommend to me a good method for debloating? I'm sure I did it on my old Kitkat Moto X, but it's been years and I can't remember and surely there's some good updated info.
If this has been discussed previously, please just post a link if need be.
Thanks again everyone. Glad to be back using XDA again
Also, if anyone wants to chime in with a recommended ROM that will accomplish the same for me. I've never installed a custom ROM but I wouldn't mind trying.
I like AOSP, but I'd try a CM rom or anything really. My requirement is a debloat ROM that everything works. I need this phone for everyday use, so I need to make calls, take photos, use the flashlight, etc. If there's bugs that have a known fix, that works for me, but I can't run a ROM with decreased functionality.
Please post a link if you have a suggestion.
Thanks again everyone.
I've been using Resurrection Remix for a few weeks now and it works great as my daily driver (I have a XT1060 DE as well). The ROM is fast and everything works, as far as I can tell. Look at the Moto X XDA homepage for the page and details, or try this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-ghost-resurrection-remix-5-6-8-t3371948
Good luck!

I've only tested Resurrection Remix becuase its the rom with lot of feature from other rom too and its stable for everyday use and I write from my Moto X (XT1052).
For everyday use I suggest to avoid (as now) all 7.x roms because usually have broken microphone and/or camera (only video or photo too) with can be important for many people, so i advice you to stay with 6.0.1 roms right now
