[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] ChazzMatt:
That's because prior to September 22, 2015 we were all in one forum, all the Quarks.

However, the XT1225/XT1250 bootloaders are not locked down and are easily rooted -- so had official TWRP, etc. The XT1225 in particular had several CM-based ROMs (at least 5 Lollipop ROMs), custom kernel, etc. And they were all HERE.

A few disgruntled Droid Turbo XT1254 users here got mad seeing all the dev work they couldn't participate in (bootloader still locked down), complained incessantly, and petitioned XDA mods to split the forum into the active dev Quarks and the dead XT1254 forum. [emoji14]

So, mods moved all the active dev work into the "Moto Maxx" forum (even though one Quark is called Moto Turbo). They missed some threads which occasionally crop up here as they are dug up from the past, like the Nexus Experience Q&A thread right now in this forum. THAT thread is here -- but the ROM is over there! :silly:

Ironically, then less two months after the forum was split, in mid-November 2015 the XT1254 bootloader was unlocked by Sunshine. And guess what? Then XT1254 users wanted all that dev work! Also, big THANK YOU to [MENTION=2228410]Skrilax_CZ[/MENTION] for modifying his CM kernel to work with ALL Quarks, including the XT1254. He owns two XT1225 -- not the XT1254 -- he was kicked out of THIS forum! He could easily have said "screw you". Instead he graciously adapted his work so XT1254 users could be included in the Quark dev community. As a result of those kernel changes, now ALL Quark ROMs are compatible with Moto XT1225/XT1254/XT1250.

The Quark CM dev was even gracious enough to replicate his work over here even after being kicked out... but most other dev work like BHB27's stuff stayed over there.

For instance, after CM13 came out (Feburary 2016) [MENTION=6069596]calsurferpunk[/MENTION] who is an XT1254 VERIZON user made an "unofficial" CM13 which is a hybrid of CM13 and Resurrection Remix. He posted it over there, since all the XT1254 users go over there anyway.

Only recently was a couple of ROMs posted over here, like this AOKP and Bliss, both maintained by [MENTION=7237874]NepoRood[/MENTION]. [MENTION=7109882]iiWoodstocK[/MENTION] also posted his stock Motorola Marshmallow ROM over here. Even though it can be used on all Quarks it's really aimed at XT1254/XT1250 users, as XT1225 users already have official release from Motorola. It's based on the XT1225 stock firmware but has CDMA capability and runs custom [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] kernel which allows it to work on all Quarks.

Ideally, the two Quark forums should be re-joined again, so EVERYTHING is in one forum like it was originally. :good: It should be called Motorola Quark Forum. Or it could be called Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo forum. But I think the mods have higher priorities organizing forums for newer phones and more important issues.

It's just you have to know the Quark development history to understand the somewhat dysfunctional organization of the two forums. And it's up to the experienced users to help the newbies know about the goodies available. Equally, new XT1225 owners may not know about this Quark AOKP ROM and the Quark Bliss ROM because they are over HERE and not over THERE. ;)
