VZW XT1060 DevEd: On Krypton 1.4, not official ROM...

[kschang]

I have VZW Moto X XT1060 Developer Edition with 4.4.4. I thought it was on standard factory ROM, but apparently it was on Krypton 1.4 and obviously, no OTA for me!

As this is my daily driver, I can't really take it completely out of service for extended periods. I had this phone pretty dialed in with Xposed and all the rest, but I imagine I'll have to nuke everything and start over with Xposed L.

I did install TWRP but it's mainly to do a backup with OTG microSD adapter.

Any recommended course of action?

In the same exact boat bro, business has to continue. As of now and probably for the next week I'll stick to my daily driver. Running debloated stock 4.4.4 via Titanium Backup with xposed tweaked to my fancy.

It's only a matter of time till we get our hands on a flashable Zip

Alright, bro. Keeping the faith.

Where do I find xposed for Lollipop? After finding this and following instructions it led me to believe its the "..sdk22-arm.zip" Is this the correct installer?

Yes, use the sdk22 (that's Lollipop) and arm which is the CPU in the Moto X.

FYI, sdk23 is Marshmallow.

I have the factory 5.1.1 5.1 all dialed in now with Xposed and other modules, rooted and everything, of course. Haven't decided if I want to play with ROM themes yet, as I prefer a dark theme over a light one.

What did you flash to get 5.1.1? I thought the factory version was stuck at 5.1 and that the only 5.1.1 options were third-party ROMs like OctOS and AICP. My wife's phone is in a similar predicament, it's running Krypton 4.4.4 right now and I want to get it running Lollipop, I was thinking of this stock ZIP.

oops, you're right, it's 5.1 (and that's it)

FYI @Jacquestrapp I had manually flash the modem using ADB and MFASTBOOT. I'm currently on the debloated 5.1 and its working well. Expect to wait a few minutes on the first boot up after flashing ROM

here are my two recommendations for LP:
custom: NeXus Experience
pros:
- can install a custom kernel
- contains privacy features so that you can block wake locks, etc
- no need for xposed as all tweaks/mods are already built in
- best battery life
- developer is currently working on a build for 6.0

cons:
- Active moto display will not work (but ambient display works just fine)

stock: Stock
pros:
- most reliable
- moto active display works

cons:
- need xposed to get personal tweaks
- xposed & Gravity box still have some issues (but working for me)
- still some bloat in the debloated version, but that can be adjusted

overall, both are fine. bluetooth works fine on both (in both my car and watch)

I've used both, but keep coming back to NeXus
