I am on the 4.4.2 port. Running with no issues. I still have the same weird Bluetooth sound issue as 4.4, and the only thing missing is the moto control panel widget. Everything else is working fine, and I love what they did with the dialer and with stock email. For my work exchange account the stock email now has a Gmail type interface, which is a welcome update.

I do miss the circle widget but will do until 4.4.2 drops from moto for the maxx if it ever does. I must just have to keep porting updates from the moto x

Went from Topsnake's 4.4.2 back to stock rooted since I was missing active display. Then I saw the 4.4 status bar... yuck. 4.4.2 looks 10x better.

Anyone know if there's a way to just change the color of the status bar icons from blue to white on 4.4? I'm aware that the status bar background would remain black, but I'm actually OK with that. I just want to get rid of the blue.

when flashing roms you have to first clear data and factory reset. well my question is where do you stick the roms if your deleting if your doing factory reset? im used to having a sd card as well as internal memory.
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
By doing the rest via TWRP, it purposely leaves internal storage intact. Therefore backups of your roms are kept. Now if you do a reset via stock recovery or RSD the phone will be wiped completely
[Droid Ultra General] tecsironman:
I put pacrom and gapps in the root of the internal sdcard. I booted into recovery and used TWRP to do a factory reset. Everything was deleted rom and gapps included. I have read that somewhere else too but this is driving me nuts. i have tried ADB with no success. I dont know maybe ive been putting the files in the wrong part of the internal memory.

Unlocking the carrier?

Will unlocking the bootloader help in flashing something which can unlock the carrier?

It appears phone is locked to Verizon outside of US.

I tried two local carriers and both of them allow data access, but no phone access.
[Droid Ultra General] nimdae:
These phones are not carrier locked. It is, however, limited to certain spectrum. If you are getting a SIM error, it's not a support SIM. If it accepts the SIM but won't connect, then it's likely a spectrum issue.
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
I am unlocked enjoying stock 4.4 debloated and rooted, GravityBox and tether modules... Oh wait now I see there's 4.4.2 ;)

[Droid Ultra General] tecsironman:
Are you debloating via boot loader or just freezing apks?
[Droid Ultra General] s_u_n:
Carrier locked and how

Here is the deal based on my research.

The Droid maxx has to be first activated on Verizon. Then the special feature for international eligibility has to be enabled in My services.

Once that is done, the phone is somehow unlocked from carrier perspective.

The radio of Droid Maxx and Droid Razr HD Maxx support the same frequencies. I have had no trouble in using GSM and CDMA outside US with the Razr HD Maxx. But this Droid Maxx I have was never activated on Verizon.

Hence the special piece of software which is required is not there on this phone. My bad luck.

I will have to put this on sale on swappa, unless someone can point me to some hack.

There is no SIM lock related message, but I can see the network and access internet, though cannot make calls.

It is all in the software and I think it should be possible to unlock it.
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
I am freezing using uninstall expert. I figured that was easiest for me. And that way they don't reinstall if I mess something up. I used it for the verizon apps that can't be disabled from settings.

Is there a benefit to doing it through BL?

Sent from my unlocked consumer edition Motorola Droid Maxx xt1080m.
[Droid Ultra General] tecsironman:
From what I understand if you do it through boot loader you won't gain any space removing the apks from the other partition. I was just wondering what method you used.
[Droid Ultra General] CrazyRussianXDA:
Guys, what are you talking about? What BL method? BL (bootloader) is just that - a bootloader. You need to unlock it to gain read/write access to the system partition. That's it. There is no BL method to dobloat/freeze/remove system APK. You either freeze APK or remove it - whichever way you do it - does not matter - the APK either removed or frozen. That's it.

Removing system APKs does not add to free user space as they (system APKs) reside on the system partition; user usable space is on data partition. What you can do is remove system APKs to gain more space on the system partition and then move user APK to system - therefore, freeing the usable space on data partition.
[Droid Ultra General] nmbenson:
PacROM

I'm running PacROM 4.4.2 on Maxx Unlocked BL with TWRP. Kept a backup of my stock rom though just in case.

I would recommend since I am currently using it as my daily and have only crashed once in the past week but there are a few bugs here or there.

One bug that I hate is in Settings > Pac Pellets > Navigation Bar if one selects it to change setting AND had it disabled before it becomes enabled by default thereafter with no way to turn it off or minimize by pixel size. In essence you can get stuck with duplicate nav buttons on the screen at the bottom. Previous nightly builds had the option to set it to 0 pixels but that seems gone with the latest.

IMHO it is till worth using as a daily.

Anyone tried the unofficial AOKP rom for Maxx?

Anyone do the entitlement hack?
[Droid Ultra General] CrazyRussianXDA:
There is a manual way: move .apk from data/app into system/app and then set the proper permissions

or

use Titanium Backup and press-hold the app name and choose move to system - the TB will move and set the proper permissions. I'm sure other file explorers (ES File Manager or Root Explorer) can do the dame

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

Entitmelment hack does not work with 4.4 - as a matter of fact, the "EntitlementCheck" line in system database set to 0 by default and bears no value. The validation of accessibility in 4.4 is done by VZWEntitlementServices.apk and once you replace it with a modified one - the native tether works. I've done as outlined by Topsnake in the thread below and confirm that native tethering work on unlimited.

Please consider donating to Topsnake for his work on the matter.

[Droid Ultra General] Einsteindks:
Frankly, I much rather avoid future potential problems and keep my locked Maxx. Verizon still thinks my Maxx is a valid phone.

fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
[Droid Ultra General] Mustang02:
I'm not sure I follow. What makes your locked Maxx and my unlocked Maxx different? They are both on the same network and Verizon still has the Droid Maxx as a valid phone in my account. Unlocking bootloader doesn't affect anything of the sorts with Verizon.

If you're worried about warranty, then sure but I don't care about it. I bought this out of pocket, I'll buy the next one out of pocket too.
[Droid Ultra General] nmbenson:
If you unlock your bootloader you will most likely void your Verizon warranty and replacement insurance (due to unofficial modification of the phone). I am paraphrasing but the language goes something to that effect.

Other than that there is nothing different. In fact one could buy an unlocked "Developer Edition" Maxx at one point, and one can still find them every once in awhile sold on Swappa or Craiglist.

If you don't care about the warranty and don;t pay for the replacement insurance (a rip off if you ask me) than unlock away and profit.

I unlocked and installed PacROM for the wifi tether and use of Skype (and other wifi restricted apps like Adownloader/Torrents) over data. I also have unlimited data so this is VERY advantageous for me. That and the fact that I got rid of all the background Bloatware made it worth it.
[Droid Ultra General] akellar:
Asurion (insurance) couldn't care less what you do to the phone. As far as using AOSP based roms, I don't get it. The whole selling point of this device is the motorola features (assist, active display, touchless actions, etc) and you lose ALL of these using a custom rom. There are many better devices to use AOSP on if that's what you are looking for. Not knocking your choice I just don't understand why you would use this device for that.
[Droid Ultra General] nmbenson:
I can't speak for others but I bought the phone for battery life.

As for the Motorola apps, I don't really care for them. The custom ROM has pull down from notification bar on the lockscrean so I don't need active display, touchless action is the same as google Now in how I used it, and assist I never used; however the Quick Capture phone shake app was nice at first but I found it was sometimes annoying if I tossed my phone onto the couch or car seat it would turn on the camera and sit there burning battery.

Again this is just me.
[Droid Ultra General] akellar:
And this is why I love Android, something for everybody and you can make it your own.
[Droid Ultra General] Storm0203:
I don't know about the rest of the people around here, but I bought the Droid Maxx for the battery life, not the Moto ****. If there were a AOSP phone on Verizon that had the battery life of my Maxx, I would have bought that phone. Or one that you could unlock the bootloader without buying the code from China. But I digress.

Any other rom doesn't have active notifications.

With the increase of xposed framework modules the need for custom roms has decreased.

Many people run moto X roms.

I actually just did the same. Didn't necessarily have FC or data issues, but everything just seemed to work better with 4.2.2 and the battery life is noticeably better.

Yes its possible.

open your phone app and dial *#*#3424#*#*

this will open the HTC Function test program.

Hit ''ACCEPT''

Select ''Line Drawing Test''

Hit ''Run''

Then try to draw a line where you think your screen is defective. If you can't draw lines then your phone must be sent for repair.

Hi guys,

I'm a little stuck. I have a HTC One HBOOT 1.44 with TWRP 2.7.0.0 installed. I can flash recoveries (CWM or TWRP) but I cannot for the life of me sideload a ROM. I just did a factory reset so I can't exactly turn it back on. Any ideas?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
save your rom in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot. Boot your phone in twrp recovery main menu. Open a cmd prompt from your fastboot folder.

type:

adb devices

it should output your phone s/n and ''recovery'' beside.

adb push <name_of_rom>.zip /sdcard/

wait for the file transfer, it might take up to 5-10 mins.

after the file transfer completed, Hit ''install'' and select the rom.zip.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guywithdesire1992:
ROM is in directory and opened CMD prompt from fastboot folder. ROM is named 'rom' for simplicity. Sitting on the TWRP main screen and typing adb devices results in this. Can't see any devices attached.

Your drivers a probably not installed correctly. Start by following these instruction from nkk71's guide (faq #2):

originally from [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION]: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock

2) Q: I'm using Windows 7 what should I worry about

A: when you issue the command "fastboot boot CWM.img" (now only in CWM/TWRP restore method) there's a high chance drivers won't correctly install

follow the below instructions to fix

Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that

just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to [MENTION=4258433]mdmower[/MENTION])

though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways

​

for those who like a visual guide:

okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver

Open "Device Manager"

there's the culprit

right click and Update Driver Software

select Browse my computer for driver software

select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

select Android USB Devices

select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)

warning, select Yes

successful installation

now it looks better :)

and can confirm:
