I just got an unlocked Moto X from amazon for use in the US(AIO) and Jamaica(Digicel)
I've been using a phone with 4.2.1. The Moto is supposed to be able to get an update to 4.4.
Would like some opinions on upgrading or staying with 4.2 that comes with it
Thanks for any advise
What would happen if I were to install a Verizon or T-Mobile version of cyanogenmod on a sprint moto x?

I think that most CM ROMs for the Moto X are unified builds. I may be wrong, but I know the one in the Development forum says unified, so it should work on any Moto X (at least from the major carriers).
Hello!
Is possible to get Android 5.0 for a Moto X 1st Generation? XT1058 for example?
I have my phone rooted and unlocked, how I get the new android?
Thanks!
Yes but you have to wait on Motorola to push the ota.
root, roms, and themes.. oh my!
There's this but doesn't look like anyone is doing anything but chatting and debating.

Title says it all. I am thinking about getting a droid turbo, and im just wondering If I can flash moto maxx custom ROMs onto the turbo without it bricking. Can anyone say if this works or not?
Yes, of course. If it says Quark, it's Quark.
Quark =
XT1254 Droid Turbo,
XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx,
XT1225 "international" Moto Maxx,
XT1225 Moto Turbo
They are ALL the same phone, like an LG G3 is an LG G3 -- whether sold in Britain or sold in U.S. or sold in Australia. In fact, the XT1254 is EXACTLY the same device as the XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx -- same radio bands, same FCC ID. Verizon just re-named it the "Droid Turbo" -- so they could claim to have an "exclusive" phone. The only thing "exclusive" about the Droid Turbo is the Verizon-mandated locked down bootloader. (The other Quarks can be unlocked via free code from Motorola on request.)
Here's the list of ROMs you can flash on your Droid Turbo XT1254 AS LONG AS YOU UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER with Sunshine:
[ROMs][Quarks][List for Moto Maxx and Droid Turbo]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70473048&postcount=58
However, if your Droid Turbo is already on stock 6.0.1 with locked bootloader you are out of luck. Sunshine ($25) only works on Verizon Lollipop firmware. See that post for specific options on how to avoid getting a 6.0.1 Droid Turbo with bootloader which cannot be unlocked.
Here in this Droid Turbo forum you have AOKP on Nougat, over in the other Quark forum you have Resurrection Remix Nougat, crDroid Nougat, unofficial CM14 Nougat -- plus various Marshmallow and Lollipop ROMs scattered throughout.
We used to be ONE forum, but it was split in September 2015 -- ironically about two months before Sunshine team cracked the Droid Turbo bootloader (November 2015). Now we just all go back and forth, since the Droid Turbo joined the custom ROM party. Go up to that link and look at that ROM list.
That's why the EXACT same CM12.1 and CM13 are listed in both forums. After Droid Turbo bootloader was unlocked, the Quark official CM dev @Skrilax_CZ was nice enough to come back and re-list the ROMs here, even after he was booted out when the forums were split. (The Droid Turbo owners were tired of seeing all the dev work they couldn't have. They demanded the forums be split. Then two months later when Sunshine unlocked the bootloader, suddenly they wanted it all. ) He was nice enough to re-code his Quark CM kernel to also allow the Droid Turbo to use his work, when he didn't have to. Because of him, that allowed ALL the Quark custom ROMs to also run on Droid Turbo XT1254. All the custom ROMs (except for computerfreek274's Verizon stock-based Marshmallow ROM) run on CM-based kernel code -- which was pioneered by @Skrilax_CZ. Others like @bhb27 got us official Quark TWRP, more ROMs, several Quark specific apps, @bhb27 custom kernel, etc. All that work led to even more ROMs, now in both forums.
Most ROMs are listed over there, but some are listed in this forum. Go up that list and see them.
Thank you

CF's ROM doesn't need GAPPS, as it's stock-based firmware. It already has Google apps. Any others you need, you have to download manually.
Here's from the dev himself:

Because people get confused I am trying to keep it simple for others. Never run gapps on stock based roms it makes it unstable and some Google stuff not work correctly.

He's actually looking for the "Theme-ready Gapps" package, which includes replacement Google apps that are modified by 3rd-parties to remove hard-coded colors and fonts. This is beneficial if you're using a dark or bold-colored theme, and are tired of some apps forcing a white "material design" background, or seeing dark text on a dark background.
Unfortunately, installation and maintenance of those modified apps is rather time intensive, as you're always delayed in getting new versions, you have to remove the official versions and disable updates, you have to manually check for updates, and each time an update is released you have to flash it through TWRP (frequently, as this is Google and it includes several apps).
I looked into it, but decided not to bother. I like my phone to be working for me, instead of me continually working on my phone.
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
I have xt1096 and now im running xt1095 stock... No cdma anymore . Just gsm.. u can try that or there are some flashable stock room availble, just flash that
