First ROM - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

Hi! I have a Moto G5s Plus with stock firmware, android version 8.1.0. After I root my device, will I be able to install this ROM?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s-plus/development/rom-evolution-x-t3923633
In the description of that post, it says that non AOSP have to wipe data/cache/system. Will I have to do this?
Will I still be able to Turbo charge my phone?
I've ask all this questions in that ROM's post, but I haven't received an answer so I came and asked my questions here.

Need help updating 4.4.4

I have googled and looked around all over XDA. I cannot find accurate data regarding updating to 5.1 from 4.4.4.
I've been a huge fan of XDA and the devs for years. I've always been able to find what I'm looking for within minutes. But this time.... I can't. The biggest issue is when I do find something, it's either missing details or missing working links. I'm not very good at this and don't know how to find the files needed on my own. Can I get some accurate help with working links on this issue? Thanks guys!
I have a Moto X 1st Gen, Dev eddition. 4.4.4 - rooted. TWRP (can't remember what version) I had Xposed installed, but uninstalled it recently (and the modules). Do I still need to do anything to further remove Xposed?
Is your first gen dev edition an XT1053/GSM model, or XT1060/Verizon model?
I ask because the 5.1 update for the Verizon model hasn't been released yet.
As for conditions to update, see the link in my signature, it explains it all.

Motorola and Verizon have stated that they will not update the XT1096 to MM or 6.x so there is no "official" Marshmallow firmware from Motorola for this phone.
You can find an 99% stock MM ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/rom-xt1096-verizon-flashable-stock-rom-t3327345. Please read the full thread and ask questions there about this ROM. Some people - including me - are using it as their daily driver with little to no issues. This ROM has all the Motorola apps (Voice, Display, etc.) working as expected from a stock ROM.
Another option CM13. Read this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/orig-development/rom-official-cm-13-0-nightly-releases-t3256580/post65781867#post65781867. CM13 works on the XT1096 and other CM13-based ROMs should work but you will need to verify by reading their threads. Please be sure to read the full thread and ask questions there about CM13 or in the other threads related to other ROMs.
This is assuming that you are on the Verizon network and want to keep CDMA functionality. If you are using this phone on a GSM network and do not care to keep the CDMA access then you might want to look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-xt1097-to-xt1095-nextel-t2972693
All of the options above require that you have an unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader is locked please go here to learn about unlocking it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/motorola-unlocking-verizon-moto-x-2014-t3291104
Please read and learn as much as you can. Most - if not all - of your questions will be answered by reading through the threads listed.
XT1085
Hello everyone,
I'm currently using the moto X 2nd generation bought in china (XT1085) running android 5.0.2.
I would like to get rid of the retcn version of the system because I don't speak chinese for a retEU or retUS and install android 6 MM. Is it possible?
My phone is rooted and TWRP recovery installed
I tried to install this version : Version 6, because one guy wrote on the topic that it worked on TX1085 but it failed for me, and my phone stayed on the Motorola launching screen.
So now I'm back with the factory setup and would like to now how to install android 6.0?
Thanks

How to unlock Motorola Moto X 2nd gen. bootloader?
Hey Guys! I have a locked motorola moto x 2nd gen, verizon variant (xt1096). I want to unlock its bootloader for upgrading to marshmallow (6.0), tried to unlock through Motorola's website, but my phone's not eligible for it. So is there any other way to unlock bootloader.

Dumb Mofo question

Please forgive my dumb question. I'm just wanting to make sure I don't brick my phone. What can Mofo flash onto my Turbo? Can it do ComputerFreak274's 1.3.0 and such? I've read a buch of stuff, and I just don't have a solid answer.
Thanks,
NJ

Mofo isnt used anymore. The latest lollipop update SU44 can have its bootloader unlocked via the sunshine app, which you can install TWRP and flash SU and any Moto Maxx rom, including computerfreaks
Good answer above. To add more information, once your bootloader is unlocked via Sunshine and you have TWRP installed, here's all the goodies you can have.

Hi all. I'm not sure if I should post this here as well, but I just wanted to make sure that anyone who does not know that they can use the ROMs for the Moto Maxx for their Droid Turbo is able to do so (with an unlocked bootloader of course).
Here is the link to the one that I am maintaining:
Stock CyanogenMod 13 unofficial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/rom-t3341788 (Marshmallow)
Those that I am not a part of:
Official CyanogenMod 13.0 & 12.1

And for TWRP recovery:

If most people already knew this, then please ignore it. I just wanted to make sure those who weren't aware got the chance and knowledge. I'll try to post a complete list, but please forgive me if I leave something out.

Add to that a custom kernel:
[Kernel][All Quark]BHB27-Kernel[5.1.1][6.x.x][CM base ROM's]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/kernel-bhb27-kernel-t3207526
The discussion threads for various ROMs, TWRP, kernels are found in this Droid Turbo forum as well as the other Quark forum:
Motorola Moto Maxx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx
All the Quarks shared one forum until end of last September 2015. But the forums were split because the Droid Turbo bootloader was still locked down at that time and there was no real root, no TWRP for that one Quark. Whereas, the other Quarks had active dev work. Then two months later in November 2015, the Sunshine exploit became available and the Droid Turbo XT1254 could join the dev party! :good: So, you have to go back and forth between to two forums to find all the stuff.
The CM dev graciously created a duplicate thread over here, when it was removed the first time due to the split. But still most of the real dev discussion happens over in the other forum.

Moto E5 Play XT1920-18 questions and doubts please read

hello! I have a MOTO E5 PLAY PETTYL XT1920-18, and I would like to ask some questions regarding this phone.
Is there any stable ROM other than the STOCK rom?
what is the most stable version of TWRP recovery that supports this model?
Another query, there are roms listed as "all variants" in this forum, do they work on this model? If there is one, which one could you try?
While the stock rom is fairly "stable", I haven't found the right way to debloat it, and I'm having battery drain issues.
I understand that there is almost no development in this model, but please I need help.
thanks in advance.
