Since I posted those, both CM and Resurrection Remix can be flashed on XT1254 with @baybutcher27 beta kernel found in those posts.

By tomorrow noon you can flash CM with it's own kernel, when the 11/28 nightly appears.

In those posts are also links for bootloader warning removal, Moto camera for CM, as well as 60fps custom bootloader animation.

bump for people looking for it

Just make sure you do this...

before flashing the new ROM + GAPPS + kernel.

I think this is why some people were getting system storage space errors. They had something else installed on their system before flashing new ROM and didn't wipe it clean first.

On the stock rom TWRP doesn't show my backups at all like it usually does but in TWRP it shows them there like it should. No idea why.

Edit: just saw post above, its there lol

You went to /data/media/0/TWRP/Backups?

On my phone which is running CM, I can see TWRP backups 3 ways: via USB connection as flash drive, in TWRP recovery mode, and through Root Explorer app.

Via USB, you can drag them off onto your computer to save elsewhere.

But of course you can only restore them in TWRP recovery mode.

Okay two things: there are two 11/27 CM12.1 zips and the gapps link isn't working. Would open gapps or banks gapps work?

1) gapps link is working fine for me: http://d-h.st/BX7Q Same link from the op.

2) either 11/27 will work. Somehow duplicate got created. I used the 2nd one just in case.

to get the twrp backup, boot into twrp and plug into pc then go into the twrp folder and you will find it there.

I think this is why some people were getting system storage space errors. They had something else installed on their system before flashing new ROM and didn't wipe it clean first.

System storage issue was something different. It did end up being the file system type. Might have had a bad flash somewhere along the lines. One I moved /data back to ext4, restored my stock backup, I followed the same steps and everything worked fine. I'll chalk it up to a fluke, or bad download.

 

[aneeshmbabu]

Thanks all I found the twrp back up in data/media/0/twrp/backup

I'm not brave enough to be one of the first to install a custom ROM. I also don't know how much modifying this needs coming from the Moto Maxx. Are they nearly identical?

 

[Marky__Mark]

Anyone else getting google play services has stopped message? I get it on every boot but only once. Probably cuz that gapps package is so old. Do we have anything else to work with?

 

[YellowSnowman23]

Did all the steps in order above exactly and runs smooth but I can't make or receive calls I have signal and data but no calls says cellular connection not avalible. And here's a screenshot of phone status in settings

You aren't the first. Many, many people installed both Resurrection Remix and CM 12.1 yesterday on their XT1254 Droid Turbos. You are actually late to the party.

Yes, they are exactly identical except for radio. They are all Quarks. Motorola released two Quark devices across the world under 3 model names. No, it was NEVER exclusive to Verizon. Forget that marketing lie. They even released the XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx which was IDENTICAL even in radio to the Droid Turbo, with the SAME FCC ID. Sold by smaller regional LTE/CDMA carriers. it was the "dev" version of the Droid Turbo as it had unlock-able bootloader and runs on Verizon with a Verizon SIM card. The XT1254 Droid Turbo is just the last Quark to get the bootloader unlocked. Where have you been?
