As stated in this blog post we are now OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED BY CYANOGENMOD!!

As stated in this blog post:
Unified builds – Motorola G and more
First, we’re proud to announce that the Motorola G is now an officially supported device in CyanogenMod. This popular budget phone will carry the designation of ‘falcon’ – with a unified build for both the xt1032 and xt1034 variants. We are in the beginning stages of supporting the multi-sim capable xt1033, so please be patient as we work through that process.

Additional Motorola devices are also seeing the benefits of unification, and in the spirit of our last batch of unified builds, a handy list is provided for the newest batch:

Previous Motorola X and Droid Maxx Dev Edition: xt1053, xt1058, xt1060, xt1055 & xt1080 (latter two previously unreleased)

Now: moto_msm8960dt

Previous RAZR HD, Photon Q, Atrix HD, etc. : xt897, xt901, xt905, xt907, xt905, xt925, xt926, mb886 (and the former xt897c)

Now: moto_msm8960

The new ‘msm’ designations are based on the common architecture used in these devices. As always, source for these unified device projects are available on our Github.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_moto_msm8960dt

Nightlies for all of the devices mentioned above, including the Moto G, are now available.

Download Link For Nighties: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960dt

Happy Flashing




UPDATE: SEP 17

We are no longer supported by Cyanogenmod:

we are officially dropping support for the ‘obake’ device (Moto Droid Maxx Dev Edition) moving forward. This change is in effect starting tonight. Existing Moto X users on the former ‘moto_msm8960dt’ device can update to ‘ghost’ builds without wiping. The obake support is officially being retired due to lack of a maintainer (and poor sales of the platform in general).

we only lasted 7 months!

no, afraid it won't. It replaces the kernel and that's not possible with a locked bootloader.
Damn.... I am so bummed out... And I totally forgot about the darn kernel issue..... I really love CM.... What in the world am i going to do now? Lol
Thanks bladerunner...

I just flashed cm11, everything works smooth except that the signal is showing abnormal, it seems it has no signal but it has signal indeed, maybe a small bug that will be fixed in the future?

Looks like everything I've tinkered with so far works except notification light which may or may not happen I suppose.

I'd like to see it added to BBQ Log so we can track updates more easily.

I'd kill for active notifications Lol. Working Gps would be nice. Touchless controls ported over I know is a ***** to want but just so people are aware it's not active yet. Everything else works fine.

So, any obvious risks involved with me installing this on my bootloader unlocked XT1030? I notice that it's not listed in the supported devices.

Appreciate any info.

i dont think is gonna be any risk, but just in case, make a backup with twrp, install the rom and if it just doesnt boot, just restore your backup and youre on the road again.

In the spirit of adventure, I gave it a go. Installed and it booted up fine. Looks good so far, and seems to run very smoothly. Will have to do some more poking around and test things like calls, and such.

Updates: Found two issues with CM11 on my unlocked Droid Mini so far.

Soft buttons are showing. Looking for better solution still.
Workaround (by lesdense, thanks!):
- Set settings > interface > expanded desktop style: status Bar visible
- Power > expanded desktop
Note: Unfortunately, nav buttons still pop up in certain situations.

Using a T-Mobile SIM, only CDMA settings showed. I was unable to access any GSM or APN options.
Solution:
- Boot to fastboot (power off, press vol down + power, release power)
- fastboot oem config carrier tmo
Note: Other carrier options are "vzw" (default), "att", "sprint" (no clue if that works with this phone).

The phone now shows GSM options, and APNs for T-Mobile US, MetroPCS, Simple, and StraightTalk. Calls, SMS, and MMS work properly. Edge, 3G, H+, and LTE all negotiate properly, and hand-off properly during calls.

More updates as I have them. =)

Cheers!

My Droid Maxx can't be rooted (already on 4.4 when I got it) so I can't say for certain how to remove software buttons on the Maxx/Ultra/Mini but if it works like my rooted Razr Maxx HD then go to Settings, Interface, Expanded Desktop. Your choices are Disabled (default), Status Bar Visible (meaning the NavBar is removed but the Status Bar on top stays) or Status Bar Hidden. I like and use the Status Bar so I chose the second option. Then click the Power button, select Expanded Desktop and choose Enabled. You may have to reboot, I can't remember. But that has reliably gotten rid of software navigation buttons for me on several rooted Razr Maxx and Razr Maxx HD phones.
