[Moto Maxx Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Two bits of news:

[MENTION=7838323]Hlcpereira[/MENTION], who maintained two Nougat ROM --

AOSPExtended

and

Viper

-- has discontinued those ROMs. You can read

his announcement here

. We will miss him but he seems to still be commenting in Quark threads, so we will still have his expertise.

As a going away present, [MENTION=7838323]Hlcpereira[/MENTION] has

updated Viper ROM one last time.

You are still free to use those ROMs if you wish, they will just not be updated unless someone else takes them over. [MENTION=7838323]Hlcpereira[/MENTION] himself kept AOSPExtended alive, taking it over from another ROM maintainer.

I am also removing

Cosmic ROM

from the Nougat list, as I noticed the ROM maintainer has abandoned it, not releasing an update since April 2017? If he updates, I will add it back.

I am still keeping the Marshmallow list intact for now, as people KNOW those are older ROMs and if they install them they know what they are getting. But the Nougat ROMs should be fairly current. Once we start adding Oreo ROMs, I will probably cull the Marshmallow list considerably.

As for Oreo ROMs, here's the latest news on that from uber Quark developer [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION]:

February 12, 2018

Still, here's the screenshot of Quark Resurrection Remix Oreo -- so he's hard at work on it.

If you want to know more about [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION]'s kernel work and why this is so important to getting Oreo ROMs, these two posts answer that:

Here's the list of Nougat and Marshmallow ROMs below, all compatible with with all Moto Quarks (XT1254, XT1225, XT1250). And with the

Quark Multi-ROM tool

by prolific dev [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] , you can try out more than one. ;)

Here's the current custom Nougat (7.x) Quark ROMs to choose from.

[ROM][All Quark][7.x] Resurrection Remix

[ROM][Quarks][LOS 14.1 Unofficial][7.1.x] (While [MENTION=6069596]calsurferpunk[/MENTION]'s ROM is from the OFFICIAL LOS branch with latest security patches, it's a hybrid of LOS with some Quark Resurrection Remix features added -- thus it's "unofficial" on purpose.)

[ROM][7.1.2_r36][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS with OMS patches for Quark (This ROM by [MENTION=5840063]P013onEr[/MENTION] is from a different LOS branch than the one above.)

________________

Here's the Marshmallow (6.0.1) Quark ROMs to choose from. However, except for the new Flyme, most development has stopped on this bulleted list below. If you install them, they will still work, but there will be no future development . [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] last gave an update to RR 6.X in March 2017, but you can still run it fairly safely if you install his up-to-date

standalone custom kernel

along with it.

[ROM][All Quark][6.x.x]Resurrection Remix (last update was March 2017)

Bliss Rom 6.4 by Team Bliss

[ROM][6.0.1][OFFICIAL][QUARK] MoKee OpenSource Project

[Rom] NEXUS EXPERIENCE 10.4 [MotoMaxx]

AOKP - Android Open Kang Project[6.0.1][Marshmallow]

[Moto MAXX XT1225 / Droid Turbo XT1254][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 13.0[6.0.1]

[ROM][2016-09-17][Quarks][CM 13.0 Unofficial][6.0.1] (hybrid of CM13 and Resurrection Remix)

That list above is in no particular order, except Flyme and 6.X RR which are the most recent.

_________________________

These two below are listed separately because they are mostly for the XT1254/XT1250, while the ones above are for ALL Quarks (XT1254, XT1225, XT1250). [MENTION=7109882]iiWoodstocK[/MENTION]'s ROM will run on any Quark, but it's just stock Motorola Brazilian XT1225 Marshmallow ROM with CMDA build prop added and [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] custom kernel so wi-fi worked... No other tweaks. So, the only advantage to XT1225 users is it can be installed via TWRP. For XT1254/XT1250 users however for MONTHS it was the ONLY stock Marshmallow ROM available which would run on their phones. There was no Verizon VoLTE, but it had everything else.

MARSHMALLOW - OTHER:

[MENTION=6076132]computerfreek274[/MENTION] Marshmallow ROM for the Droid Turbo XT1254 (it will also work for the XT1250, of course) based on the Verizon's belated Marshmallow firmware. He has debloated it, tweaked it. It has Verizon voicemail app, Verizon VoLTE (only works on Verizon), Verizon Wi-Fi calling (only works on Verizon), some volume boost, and battery saving tweaks. It is still under development -- unlike those Marshmallow ROMs above.

There's also a "non-Verizon" version (without Verizon apps) of his ROM posted in that thread, but again it's just for the XT1254 (and XT1250) as it is based on Verizon's Droid Turbo stock firmware. Do NOT try to install it on an XT1225!

You can also install a Marshmallow stock ROM released by Motorola for the Brazilian Quark. [MENTION=7109882]iiWoodstocK[/MENTION] adapted it so it runs on ANY Quark, including the XT1254 Droid Turbo or XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx (clone of the XT1254). It will use YOUR radio, whatever you have installed.

http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mpg24-107-70-2-brazilian-6-0-1-t3426234

I didn't include it in the Marshmallow list above, because while technically it is a custom ROM, the only "customization" was to allow it to be flashed via TWRP and to allow it to be used on ALL Quarks: XT1254/XT1250/XT1225. Otherwise, it's pure Motorola Marshmallow stock which was officially released for a Quark phone.
