Hey bros,
I like to understand who is actually developing and maintaining the cm rom and kernels for our device? Ethan Chen, David Hacker,.. and how do they share the distribution of tasks in the different device and kernel repos like motorola_ghost and msm8960dt?
I was really impressed as dhacker pushed a highly customized and updated kernel for cm13 (there is one for cm12 too) into android_kernel_motorola_msm8960dt-common recently, but when and how will this work come to life? For me it looks like that the released rom or kernels for Moto X so far mostly neglected these source, so for what are the msm8960dt repos used atm?
Some clarification would be great.
regards
As far as I know,
android_device_motorola_msm8960dt-common - http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/project:CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_msm8960dt-common : This is the common device repo for msm8960dt motorola devices released in 2013 (Moto X, droid mini/maxx etc)
android_kernel_motorola_ghost - http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/project:CyanogenMod/android_kernel_motorola_ghost : This is the kernel for Moto X. Not common with other msm8960dt devices
And a lot of other code is taken from CAF-8960 branches from Qualcomm - http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/topic:qcom-bringup-8960
I may be wrong since all these are simply observations, so if someone with better knowledge please correct me

I hope I'm not presumptuous or wrong: will it come with CWM and/or TWRP recovery versions?
Many thanks.

Unless I'm mistaken, the sony source doesn't work with pure AOSP. All AOSP or derivatives roms use the CM android_kernel_sony_msm8974pro or forks of it.
My question is thus the following: is this kernel source compatible with AOSP or like "kernel-copyleft", only with stock rom derivatives?
My custom kernel works on the latter, but I need to use the "msm8974pro" trees for pure AOSP.
Unless I'm missing something?

Can't boot
@jerpelea I've compiled AOSP Lollipop and it boots fine. I've compiled the kernel from 3.5.2.2 branch of the unified kernel source and successfully made zImage. I've combined the zImage with the resulting dtb and the ramdisk from the AOSP build. I can't get the device to boot for some reason. It's stuck at the Sony boot logo. Did I miss a step ? I've searched online but couldn't get enough help about this.
Tried the same with Kitkat too but same result. Doesn't go past the sony boot logo.
UPDATE
Got it to work The command line argument in the guide provided has android boot device as qcom whereas the one compiled during AOSP has it as "shinano" Took me 1 build to understand this Back to work again
hi All
Busy weeks ....months ...
Progress so far
- unified 3.4 kernel is stable for daily use and community tweaking
As some of you have already seen we have started work on comunity 3.10 unified kernel
This kernel is not finished and not stable but is an invitation for developers to joyn, test and improve a kernel built "by community for community"

Hi @jerpelea, which of the branches should be used for the 3.10 kernel?
I ll be appreciated that the unified kernel can support d6563.
Hey guys, this is my first thread but let me get to the point.
So about some time ago, I saw that CyanogenMod and other complicated ROMs couldn't be built on the G 2014. And the major issue, so I was thinking, was the kernel not being open-sourced (which is now true, thanks Motorola) and the fact that because the device was so "new", there wasn't any "device tree" which I refer myself as basically drivers for the phone. I saw that people were having issues building off AOSP ROMs because of display issues and stuffz. But since Today, I saw a new device tree for titan which is this one by somcom3x ( github[dot]com/somcom3x/android_device_motorola_titan ) and it seems pretty great to me. Now, I ain't a developer or anything and I'm really new to all that Android stuff but I wanted to ask now, what is retaining developers to not port CyanogenMod and/or build more ROMs. I'm sure it's because the phone is kinda new but it's sad to see such low development on what should be the successor of the great, popular 2013 Moto G.
Thanks guys ^^
We want ROMS ...please DEVS do something
We are all waiting for this. I think there are not ROMs because Lollipop its about to be released. Why make a KK ROM when in a month or two almost anybody would use it. I'm really anxious to hear from Lollipop ROMs for this device. There are a few stock ROMs but none for my variant xt1063

Guess we can only pray for Lollipop AOSP ROMs and CM 12 then
Maybe we can request The Cyanogenmod team to make CM Builds for titan, but The lack of ROMs is probably due to The lollipop release.

I hope so, if not, i may have to return to the nexus line sooner than i thought
it's easy to make a CM Build for titan, since Moto G 1st Gen has the same hardware And already have some builds. if anyone can create a thread in the CM forum requesting CM Team to support our device, it would be great.

Makes no sense to me since there are a large number of users (myself included) who are not interested in upgrading to Lollipop. I have yet to find ANY compelling reason for doing so.
So speaking for myself, I would be extremely interested in a Kit-Kat based custom ROM for the XT-1063. I am not a developer and do not have the required skill set to develop my own ROM. As it stands I guess I will stick to the rooted, stock version, and Furnace 1.1.2 kernel.
no one is going to make rom if that developer does not have any device to develop.
even though moto g 1st gen and 2nd gen share many hardware features ....they are not exactly the same devices.
kernel sources are vastly different...you need to make device tree and vendor tree .
i am waiting for lollipop update to make cm12 for this device.

its because they have all things set up in cm code. they mostly need to compile and upload the rom...that is no big....but when official lollipop is released ...the developers of moto g 1st gen have to make changes to device tree and vendor trees and may be kernel source too....so instead of having that i am waiting for official release for my xt1068 and then i am goning to make device and vendor tree to make cm12 for this device...little longer wait is always good than a impatient attempt to make a rom.

Thank you for clearing this for me bro, I was a bit confused and I thought that this phone is already dead. Although, I haven't bought it yet, I was afraid of the absence of custom ROMs when I would get it . Now, you gave me hope that devs will at least try to make CM for this device. Thank you.

Want Cyanogenmod 11 on your Titan?
Guys...
You wanted CM11 on your Titan?
Look here!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-t3024371
However... My issue is going back to CM12 Lollipop.
Kitkat is run on Dalvik. Lollipop uses ART.
Flashing directly (after wiping) from a KK based custom ROM, to a Lollipop based custom ROM could create issues.
Any answers please?
Hellow???
Will there be a cyanogenmod for moto g 2ndgen? I know earlier it was not there as the titan kernel source was not available. But as Andro X developed that means the kernel source is available now. So, does anyone got any information about cyanogen mod for our phone. Or is anyone working on it yet? I dnt mean to be rude but i jst cnt wait for it.
cyanogenmod is made by independent developers who own the devices, so it's upto them to build
i saw this thread earlier, where a few developers are working on a cm12 build
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/wip-cyanogenmod-12-moto-g-2nd-gen-t2961889
Andro X doesn't require any sources... it was a stock rom....
OK, I know that most people use the X for a pure, unmodified version of Android. I respect that. I believe that too, but if I could squeeze just a tiny bit more performance out of this device, it would be great. Is anyone here experienced with kernel development and wants to help develop a kernel for our beloved device?
@faux123 is supposed to develop one eventually. Otherwise CM uses a custom kernel for their ROM. I'm waiting for something compatible with stock though.
Correct me if I am wrong, but with out unlocked bootloader, a dev could make a sense rom if there was enough kind requests?
While the unlocked bootloader makes it possible, that doesn't mean it will happen. Most developers don't make ROMs because its requested, but because they enjoy doing so and giving to the community. We could all band together and request a billion dollars from the bank but that's not gonna make them give it to us.
Unfortunately, those of us with a quark phone with a passion for modding and flashing is small. That's why we don't ha e a community with tons of ROMs like Nexus and other flagship devices.
But what we do have is a top of the line phone with some DEV love that is truely appreciated by those of us that use it and take pride in having a special unique phone.
However. There is an Xposed add-on that will allow you to flash sense apps, and with some theming and tweaks you can make CM almost look and function exactly like sense
What he said. Due to Verizon locking down the bootloader, which took about a year to overcome, the Droid Turbo XT1254 got ignored by a lot of devs.
However, dev work was done on the sibling Quarks (Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo XT1225)-- which luckily also works on the Droid Turbo (now that that bootloader is unlocked). Only problem is Motorola did not sell the other Quarks in places like Europe, Canada nor Asia (except for India) and even in the U.S. the unlockable bootloader Quark (the U.S. Moto Maxx, with same FCC ID as the Droid Turbo) was only sold via regional CDMA/LTE carriers and hard to get. The "international" Moto Maxx XT1225 was sold in Latin American countries and the Moto Turbo XT1225 was sold in India. This should have been a WORLD WIDE phone, sold EVERYWHERE -- like a Samsung or LG flagship phone, but was not for some reason. Very strange!
However, there's 3 or 4 custom 5.1.1 ROMs over in the Quark/Moto Maxx section which will work with the XT1254:
* [ROM][5.1.1][OFFICIAL][QUARK] MoKee OpenSource Project
MoKee OpenSource is based on the Google AOSP. @baybutcher27 is the dev.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/rom-mokee-opensource-project-t3188936
* [ROM][All Quark][5.1.1]Resurrection Remix 5.5.9 [Optimized / O3 / GRAPHITE / KRAIT]
Resurrection Remix has tons of options. @BayButcher is the also the dev for this ROM, which is very popular.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/rom-resurrection-remix-5-5-5-t3197643
* [Moto MAXX XT1225 / Droid Turbo XT1254][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.1
CM12.1 was our first custom ROM and without it there would be no others, because all the Quark (Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo) custom ROMs use @Skrilax_CZ CM kernel in their ROMs. Even @baybutcher27 kernel uses @Skrilax_CZ CM kernel as a base.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot.../moto-maxx-xt1225-cm12-0-pre-release-t3060089
Also, a custom kernel:
* [Kernel][All Quark]BHB27-Kernel[5.1.1][CM base ROM's][V-1.2.3]
Custom kernel for our Quarks, using CM kernel as base but with lots more options. @baybutcher27 is the dev.

I don't see any Sense ROM for any non HTC device.
Are you guys thinks that is really possible to make one for quark? I'm not shore if a regular dev can do, a very experience dev with Knowledge of CM quark and or Sense porting may, but I don't see one available to do that, I know I can't today and even if I do only that I may never be able some things are really hard to port.
Make a CM base ROM is easy any one can do if follow CM default recipe there is no mystery, may take a while to learn a few thing but is generally easy, the most hard thing is to setup the machine but for that google has a good tutorial and all the ROM manifest on git have they on too like RR for exemplo, if the particularly source need special config it will be on they manifest on git, if it is not there, is a easy find by just searching on other Moto device for that source.
Google tutorial
RR tutorial
So if you guys really wanna a ROM make your hands dirty and try to make one start by the easiest one that are CM base, the only thing that is need is a PC/Notebook with internet access average CPU about 100 to 150gb of free space, I'm build for months on my notebook and is a really simple one...
For a fact I know MM will bring new ROM different from the one we have today, I see some other dev with they MM source ready to make a ROM for quark the only problem is that today custom ROM are not working on MM but they will soon and then more ROM will be available.
If any one need help in build a ROM fell free to open a thread and quote me to help I will but don't expect step by step tutorial that already exist on google and XDA, I help in some things that are not much common and or related to quark only.
Fell free too to quot this post to any one that wanna this or that ROM, this way we may have more ROM in the future.
:good:
