I have a Verizon moto-x 2. I want marshmallow. Do I have this right- I can either get the 1095 version of marshmallow stock from Motorola or get a different marshmallow variant from a third-party custom ROM? What are the reasons to favor a custom marshmellow vs. Stock? Are there any downside or compatibility issues with leaving my Verizon stock lollipop? Is there a consensus does marshmallow improve battery life for this?

I have 5.0.2 but am wondering if this was the latest, because the 5.1 is already out and I didnt even got the intermediate versions.
The latest is 5.0.2
No 5.1 for us yet
I'm interested to buy a Moto G LTE XT1072 as a replacement of a Galaxy Nexus.
What's the current status of:
- custom kernel? Can I find an equivalent of Franko Kernel, Fancy Kernel or ElementalX for this device?
- custom ROMs? I'm interested in vanilla AOSP ROMs. Current projects are 100% working? There's some missing HW functionality?
- Is it developer friendly in order to hack it like a Nexus phone?
- Xposed Framework: someone has experience in use of superalpha Xposed framework on ART 5.1.1?
The biggest cons of GNex are battery time and speaker volume. Can I expect with XT1072 an improvement?
To begin, some clarifications :
XT1072 = Moto G 2nd Gen (2014) LTE
XT106X = Moto G 2nd Gen (2014) 3g+
1) 2) Some users flashed roms designed for 3g+ variants on the 4g one and reported that it worked (without 4g obviously) and with speakers bug.
So you can find roms designed for the 4G variant on this forum. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-lte)
And roms designed for the 3g+ variants here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014
Most roms are fully working without any HW problem.
3) I think installing custom roms, unlocking bootloader, rooting, installing TWRP.. is like on Nexus phones. It is user friendly.
4) This isn't device specific, you can find your answer in the Xposed's official development thread. But I think everything works.
5) The speakers are good and battery life is enough for me but I don't own the GNex so I can't compare.
I think the best you can do is to buy the 3rd Gen Moto G which was just released.
If you want some clarifications, comment !
Just to be clear, there are currently no kernels for this version?
This version = XT1078 dual sim variant (2014 LTE).
There are 2 kernels if I remembrer :
- Stock Motorola's
- Spirit Kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-lte/development/kernel-spirit-kernel-r1-t3109319
Do you know how did people flash the Titan roms on Thea? I always get an icompatibility error.
Is there a stable Marshmallow Rom for Verizon Moto X 2014?
Yes, there is one based off the stock ROM and was reworked for the Verizon version. I have been using it on my US Cellular phone (with a few more tweaks) for a few months, and it is stable.

Hello,
my friend has a Moto X Pure, running on Android 7.0 currently, not rooted yet.
He wants to root the phone now, Carrier is Straight Talk.
Which of the current available Roms are working with Straight Talk and Pókemon Go? Does he need a code from Motorola to unlock the bootloader?
Is there anything else he needs additionally, like Magisk?
Looking forward to your suggestions, thanks
Hi,
I was wondering, is there any official "Moto" ROM for moto x XT1096, without verizon bloatware? Is it possible to install Moto X Play, or any other Moto phone's ROM on XT1096? My phone is rooted and currently running 14.1 Lineage OS. I'm happy with that, but I was just wondering if it is possible?
Thanks
