You will only loose root if you install a stock recovery or stock firmware. If you do a Factory Reset you will need to reblock the OTA updates..

As for the other ?'s you have about Amazon Accounts country changes & DNS. www.aftvnews.com Has the guides for all that if you look in their guide section...

Hello, I need to return my XT1058 running 4.2.2 with TWRP to stock, in order to update to 4.4.4. However, the sites that hosted the factory images are down.

Could someone link me to the images, preferably the TELCEL (mexico) variant?

My gear VR touchpad stopped working:( while I'm figuring out how to rma it, I tried to use a bluetooth mouse that I had laying around (logitech M555b). it works! left click = click, hold-click direction = swipes, and right click=back.. The only issue is that sometimes a large cursor pointer comes on the screen.. (tempted to put a black piece of tape under the mouse so that it doesn't try to move the cursor onto the screen..)

[Moto X Q&A] marsisabar:
I am thinking about getting the Moto X 2013 Developer Edition unlocked. My concerns are :

- Is the hardware any different from the regular Moto X? I'd like to know if there are many custom ROMs for this model or do they mostly target the standard Moto X only? I have had similar issues with other non-standard phone models (G2, Nexus4, Note 2)

- Can I use this for LTE/4G in Canada? (Rogers)

- Is the Camera really that bad? Any better in Lollipop

- Speaking of which, is Lollipop released for this yet?

- Is the camera any better with Lollipop or CM12 Roms?

Any other general tips before getting this phone? Recommend it or not?
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
1. No. A quick search on Google would answer that. All Moto Xs are, essentially, developer editions. The one thing that makes a developer edition different from all the rest is the color scheme and the ability to unlock the bootloader through Motorola while maintaining the warranty. Unlocking the bootloader on any other variant voids the warranty.

2. Google. Or compare the 2 developer editions that are available to the Rogers Moto X.

3. Subjective. It's all a matter of your expectations and needs. It's no iPhone camera but it doesn't suck.

4. Try Google or browse around this forum.

5. About the same. What you should be considering is whether or not you're willing to deal with losing the Motorola features like Moto Display, Assist, etc.

6. Use Google and do more research of your own. You can know just as much as we do because we have access to the same information you do. Asking for a recommendation from a group of people who own the phone you're looking to buy? What do you think the answer is going to be? Do you think you'll be able to find a better phone for $200 brand new without a contract?
[Moto X Q&A] marsisabar:
Wow. Do you enjoy answering questions just to show your arrogance?

I did do Google searches but no specific answers came up. A lot of the results are from XDA as well with slightly different questions.

Fix your attitude. This is a Q&A forum. Or just don't post at all. No one needs your crap.

Thanks for the answers but not worth the attitude.

[Moto X Q&A] scryan:
How much are you gonna complain at the guy giving you free help? I apologize that his free help wasn't exactly as you expected...

The camera is bad by modern standards but will totally take pictures of what you point it at. Unless the picture has very good composition, landscape scenes are a bit of a let down... Ive noticed that macro pictures look pretty good. Not the best camera if you are trying to be a photographer.... But will totally work to show your buddies a picture of what you drew on that passed out guy at the party...

There is a super long thread called show of pictures you snapped with the moto x....

Otherwise, as he said developer edition is policy only (other then color and automatic 32gig). The only difference is that when you unlock moto will still honor your warrenty (and on vzw, ect they allow you to unlock)

Ton here.... Just read through the forums for a while. Thats what I did.
[Moto X Q&A] kyzn:
Read first then ask. All your question can be answered by Google. I guess you haven't watched the XDA's "Don't be a Noob" video.

1. GSM Arena, Phone Arena or any other site that features phone specs.

2. What bands does your carrier support? When you know that, compare it to the bands supported by Moto X DE.

3. Subjective.

4. No, the answer is all over Moto X reddit.

5. Do you want the features that Motorola offers over CM12?

6. This is a site for custom ROMs and kernels. I own one. What do you think?
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
Just to reiterate, only hardware difference is the 32gb while other moto Xs may be 16,32, or 64. Other difference is the white back/black front and "developer Edition" printed on the back. Camera isn't bad in my opinion but certainly not iphone level. Like everyone said, policy advantage that you can unlock the bootloader etc. Don't think there are that many roms but I'm betting you won't need them. Stock is fast and smooth, and you don't want to lose the Moto features. Any customization you need is possible through Xposed and gravity box. This phone cured me and many other flashaholics. Best phone I've ever had so far.
[Moto X Q&A] bothgoodandbad:
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hey, don't mind the big dorks around here, they can't help them selves;) Anyone with any sense realizes that you are unsure and trying to be clear as possible, while asking for help with humilty. If I could give you good answers I would.

I would (make sure your variant works with this because i'm not sure about your's) try Kryton, Eclipse (they are essentially stock based but debloated and tweaked in certain areas - I think - VERY good place to start especially if you want to keep the things that make a Moto X special (moto apps yada.) There's a search with in each thread that searchs only that thread for key words etc if you didn't already see it. Prolly start with main search with in Moto Development Forum and then search inside each individual thread that is interesting or might be specifically about your device/variant.

I am prolly telling you things you already know but, yeah just want to give you something besides a childish attitude you received previously.:good:

The Lollipop ROMS are not ready for prime time yet (just my opinion) Camera is fine, for a phone. Has very quick shutter speed(99%) so catching that moment instead of a blur is likely... I wouldn't plan on anything but candid/off the cuff shot's plenty good for what it is. Last thing you wanna do is compare... If it were me I'd decide what I need out of a phone, then what I want and find the phone that most closely matches it. Enjoy!:good:

Stock room is great BTW, Once you get up and running start with Xposed (free.. ****in awesome) and try out gravtybox, amplify, greenify... it all depends what you want/need.

MOTO X is a great phone

3. Saying 'subjective' doesn't help. I actually am looking for your subjective opinions. That's why I'm asking here.
[Moto X Q&A] marsisabar:
Finally a normal person responds. Thank you :) That's just the answer I was looking for. Stay cool [emoji106]
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
There are 2 Developer Editions of the 2013 X.. A GSM and a "for Verizon". All the GSM editions only come with Black Face, Woven White back that says Dev Edition, silver accents (buttons and ring around camera), come as 32gig only, and their warranty is not voided when unlocking their bootloader. Other than that they are the same as others. Just like the "Unlocked ships with XXX Sim" from Moto Maker, and/or a "T-Mobile" variant, the GSM Dev Edition is the XT1053. All these XT1053 units use the SAME ROM/SBF files. Just like the Moto Maker or in-Store version of the Verizon X, the Dev Edition for Verizon is an XT1060. These XT1060 units all use the SAME ROM/SBF files.

Oh, and because of this, the Dev Editions receive their OTA updates on the same schedule as their retail and moto maker counter parts.

Rogers sells/uses the XT1058, it supports different LTE bands than the XT1053 and XT1060, so you need to see exactly what Rogers is using today vs what the XT1053 or XT1060 support, and is it important to you, or how will that impact you. (there is a Wikipedia page on the X which does list the bands the models support, I just don't know where to tell you to find exactly which bands Rogers uses today, and might roll out in the future). NOTE: The Rogers XT1058 can have its bootloader unlocked for free from Moto's web site, but it does void the phone's warranty

in my experience (dating back to my Moto V710), Cameras in moto's phones have always lagged behind the competition. The X is no exception. Is it worthless? No. But if its not perfect conditions, you'll likely be disappointed. For outdoor, sunny day and perfectly lit situations, it takes great pictures. For Indoors, or cloudy day, or back lit, its not as good. There is a thread of pix taken with the X in the general section, but I've not had as good of luck with mine as pix you'll see in that thread (I don't retouch or edit after taking) as many have posted in that thread. As for lollipop camera, no idea until it gets here. And I don't use CM.

Lollipop is out for the 2014 X (aka 2nd gen), but not the 2013 X (aka 1st gen) yet. No word on when it will be out. But moto has said it will be coming.

[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
Arrogance? I once had all the same questions. Guess what I did? I searched and read then made an informed decision. The only difference being that I bought the phone when there was a lot less information available. You have the luxury of having a year and a half of information at your disposal from all over the internet.

If you can't find answers with that much information at your fingertips, how does that make me arrogant? I don't pretend to know more than you, I just believe in being logical and taking responsibility. If the phone is highly recommended and leads you to buy it, then what would you say or do if you find the phone doesn't suit your needs or doesn't meet your expectations? Would you ask strangers about anything and accept what they say as true without confirming the information yourself? Or would you buy something because a stranger recommended that you do?
[Moto X Q&A] marsisabar:
I asked for advice and you gave "google it, google it, its subjective, what do you want from me"

You definitely have an attitude problem. It doesn't belong on XDA where the community is typically about discussing and sharing advice and opinion.

I'm glad you got your answers from google. This is still a Q&A forum. Fix your attitude, its also in the rules.

Anyone know of a music player app that doesn't use the Android media server app to scan? I want to disable media storage because it destroys my battery.

I've found that everything but my music player works fine without it...
[General Topics] ShadowLea:
Sadly, no.

A better option is to place a .nomedia file in every folder that you don't need Mediaserver to index. That excludes the folder from the scanner. You can find one to copy in the Android folder. It also applies to subfolders. DON'T put one in the home directory.

Mediaserver is also required for ringtones, notifications, alarms and such. If you disable it, you're stuck with the stock ringtones.

Multiple issues with this ROM

Hi all!

Firstly, for those experiencing issues flashing gapps, you need to have a version of TWRP that is SELinux compatible. I used 2.8.3.0.

As for the issues I've encountered:

Phone will fail to wake from sleep but will have capacitive buttons lit (I'll wait until this happens again to try to get some meaningful log data)

MMS DOES NOT WORK and in general BREAKS SMS. I'm using Messenger as my sms app, and the JB radio. I have also tried this with Textra and Messaging with similar results.

The camera will cause the system to hard reset. I've noticed this in Snapchat, but not in google's Camera app.

Panaroma and Photo Sphere do not work. No imagery from the camera makes it to the screen. There is only a black rectangle where the imagery should be.

Casting the screen DOES NOT WORK. No chromecasts can be found, though the chromecast app and other enabled apps find and use them just fine.

You must continually remove apps from the recent apps list or else the system will...bog...down........severely.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adgriffi:
Missed a step...

Well, as careful as I was trying to be, I managed to screw up the steps!

1) I have no way to block OTA updates via the router (I don't have access), but when I booted up the first time I was able to go into system settings and cancel the update it was downloading. Phew. Still on 51.1.0.1_user_510055620.

2) Sideload towelroot and SuperSU. Success.

4) Root and install BusyBox. Done.

3) Block OTA updates. Now I'm safe!

4) Unlock the bootloader and install CWM 6.0.5.1.4a. Version check. Verified.

5) Install 51.1.4.0_514006420 updated via CWM. Now we're making progress!

6) Install BusyBox again. I guess it wasn't included in "51.1.4.0_514006420 updated."

7) I see to update further, I need to install RBox Boot Menu, so I press forward. I was being SO careful. I verified md5sums, read back through the instructions, and tried to follow line-by-line. I finish installing RBox and reboot.

Success, I think, as RBox loads!! I watch the countdown go from 5 to 0, and then... well, nothing. It just sits there. I read back through the instructions and realize I missed one very crucial step. Yup, I missed copying the original boot.img to /system/boot/. So of course now, it just boots to RBox, but doesn't know where to go from there. And I can't do anything else about it tonight because I don't have a USB keyboard -- I did all the stuff above using ADB and recovery-input.

Sooo, I think all I have to do is hook up a USB keyboard, go into recovery (which I can't do right now with no way to select recovery in RBox), reflash "51.1.4.0_514006420 updated," and start over with the RBox install process -- this time making sure I don't miss any steps. Tomorrow I'll bring home a USB keyboard from work and hopefully have better success!

few questions

hello,

Just so I will learn few things :)

When I power up the machine it start by loading from /boot partition, Then it decide whether to go to /recovery or /system ?

I saw somewhere that the /boot include the kernel and that the /system the OS ?

I saw from the guide that bootmenu is copied into the /boot

and that the original /boot to /system/boot.

Why do need to save the original /boot ?

I guess that the bootmenu does not include the kernel ?

If so - the pre-rooted roms include this /system/boot ?

also - installing a stock rom will fail because it doesn't built this way or will it also overwrite the /boot ?

Sorry for asking a lot - Interested in וnderstanding.

Thank you

Fire TV Menu 1.0 Question

I have the same issue this person this person has, would appreciate any thoughts or ideas, thanks:

After installing bootmenu I get stuck at the boot screen where the count runs to 0 and am unable to choose launch recovery.

The device does boot into the kernel automatically with no issues.

For some reason my keyboard doesn’t allow me to change it to recovery and I have tried several keyboards. However, if I do ctrl-alt-del the unit reboots so it seems the keyboard commands are working. Any way to recover from this?" Have tested with both pre-rooted 51.1.40 and 51.1.41
