Android L ROM Possible? - Droid Ultra General

With the big Android L and nexus 6 announcement supposed to be today, there is a good chance they release the factory images for L today. Is it possible to build a ROM for the Ultra/Maxx off of these or do we need to wait for the update from moto?
I understand that we would lose a lot of functionality (active display, moto voice, etc) but it would be nice to be able to at least take it for a spin.

Not from factory images probably, but from source, yeah. I just hope Moto updates their droid line quickly like the moto x...

Good to know. I assume you have inside information from VZ, since it is their decision.

They announced it a while back

I don't think anything has been official for the Droid line as of yet. The Moto X got confirmed from Punit Soni awhile back; https://plus.google.com/+JoshBierwiler/posts/TzubrrbDCQy?fd=1

Motorola announced it just now.

Hm, I wouldn't be too sure about that. As far as I'm aware, moto is still a Google Company since the sale to Lenovo still hasn't officially closed. That means moto has likely had access to source code ahead of other MFG's. Lets also not forget how quickly Moto updated the MAXX/ULTRA/X to kit kat. Pretty sure that update was faster than google.

I'm also expecting a longer wait. The 2012 Droids didn't get KitKat until 6+ months after release, and I bet the 2013 Droids will have a similar wait. I suspect that the new Moto X and G will get 5.0 first, then then 2014 Turbo, then last year's X and G, and then the 2013 Droids. We'll see if that's wrong, I guess...

I don't think so there are no Roms now unless you run older builds which were unified. They stopped support for the droids. I wouldn't buy a maxx if you want to flash Roms. Buy a moto x.

Agreed. The only reason I'm sticking around with my Droid Mini is that I want to wait till I can get a glimpse of Android L, firsthand. After that, I want to check out an Android phone with the 64-bit feature going on. I do love the look of the Nexus 6, though.
Sadly, Verizon will make me wait.

Anyone reckon it'll be OTA if you already have the DP?

You do know that the Nexus 6 is coming to Verizon, right? As far as I know, they might have a unified phone, a truly carrier unlocked device.

Absolutely correct. Folks already know that we are getting an update. It's a matter of when. Unless someone posts when...then the news is useless. First thing I read when opening this thread was... "Oh, a date has been set?!?!?!?". Talk about a tease.
cancell the thred then
could it be possible, that verizon relocks the bootloaders of unlocked devices ?
i think this isnt possible, but i am not sure. and i think we would rather get android 4.4.2 and maybe sometime later 4.4.3 than direct 4.4.3

Based on the last communication from Motorola on Google+, I expect it's either 4.4.3 or they will have 4.4.2 with anything changed in 4.4.3 patched in. I don't think they will go through the PITA (for them) of doing two separate updates.
See https://plus.google.com/+PunitSoni/posts/Ukc61bfdYTz - scroll down a bit to see David Schuster say:
For those that have been expressing their frustration and asking about the timing for the DROID Ultra and Maxx 4.4.2 upgrade. We are also frustrated. There have been some late requirement changes that have generated some unforeseen delays. We are actively working on getting you the upgrade as quickly as we can, however, it will still be a number of weeks before it is ready. Very sorry for the delays.

In a separate thread, Schuster hinted that the 2012 Droids (The Razr HD and Razr M) were getting KitKat updates in a week or two, so I suspect that Moto is planning to do those devices and then ours. I guess we'll see.
I can guess RazrHD series will get 4.4.2 with bug fixes (heart bleed vulnerability) and we may directly get 4.4.3 in future... Just a wild guess...

Its likely true that the Droid Razr series will get their updates first, but I doubt that's responsible for much of our delay.
Schuster previously said the last-minute changes are network related. My guess is Motorola had to put the Droids back through FCC testing.
I'm not overly concerned. Network changes happen. If this is really changes on the baseband, I'm fine with the delay. But I'll be pretty pissed if "network" changes really means Verizon just wants to muck with the Android build or add bloat.

Yeah, I don't think that's why, but I do think that Motorola is only going to run an OTA for one platform at a time. They're not going to update the 2012 Droids and the 2013 Droids at the same time. Especially after what happened with the last ota we had - can you imagine having to support a huge bricking problem on two different sets of otas at the same time?
I'm just going on the wording from Schuster that the 2012 Droid updates are a couple of weeks away and the 2013 Droid update is coming a number of weeks away.a

KitKat Tracking

I've been finding a bunch of posts regarding when the Razr HD will be getting KitKat. We have been waiting a while, so I figured I'd make a tracking thread so everyone can know when KitKat is finally released.
The last piece of information we have really gotten came from David Schuster, senior director at Motorola Mobility in Illinois.
This post alone sparked a great many Android articles... Needlessly so, IMO
One G+ post fed:
Android Central
Into Mobile
Softpedia
Phone Arena
DroidLife
Seems I'm not the only one starving for some news.
me too I'd like to know when we'll receive kitkat...a question, i'm from Italy but i purchased my razr hd in Uk.
My version is 98.21.22003.xt925.CEE-Retail.en.EU..Will I receive the upgrade as well or the release is only for Verizon users?
David Schuster did say a couple of days ago that the "M and HD are in Verizon labs currently". And that "Labs" can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks.
It's in the same Google+ post linked in the OP. It's toward the bottom of the comments.

It still isn't clear weather a completed version is in their labs for testing and approval OR Moto's version was submitted to them for them to add bloat, test, fix, test, add more bloat, test, etc. I think once Verizon puts out a soak with their junk on it, then we may be getting truly close.

Sounds more hardware than software related. I doubt they'd hold an event (or waste time at one) to announce a software update for phones released back in '12. They didn't for the newer, more relevant phones, and with no other company calling an event to announce "we've released KK for you on XYZ phone" it would come off as very pompous.
...am curious to see what their next model phone is though...
So possibly the firmware will be released before the new phone comes out?

Motorola customer support can not confirm upcoming updates as they know just as much as you do.
However, it is a safe assumption that the G will get the "L" build.
These screenshots look SOOOOOOOOO fake ! Don't be so gullible, guys, use your brain…
It's pretty obvious we'll receive it anyway... If the Moto E is guaranteed then so is the G
I'm not saying we won't get it, of course. All I'm saying is that these specific screenshots look fake as hell to me.

Marshmallow

I didn't find a thread, so I'm starting one. Marshmallow on the Moto X 2014. Timeline? Rumors? Got a port working? Hopefully we get it in shorter order than the original X got Lollipop.
I'm guessing OTA between December 2015 & February 2016.
Sources say the end of this year. November or December maybe.
If google release a 6.0.X, they going to push the update for moto back...
Sent from my XT1093 using Tapatalk
I am hoping we get a official ota by Motorola around December.
I really think Motorola can push 6.0 without taking much time as it's not much a big change as lollipop when it was out.
If anyone finds official info on Motorola update to Marshmallow plz share here.

You do realize its more then likely the carriers not moto that is responsible for this. There were like 5 models approved by wifi authority if phones that were approved by them dont get the update its not cause of moto, its cause the carriers want you to buy a new phone.
Moto is updating the Droid turbo for Verizon. Does that mean Verizon doesn't want those people to buy new phones, only 2014 moto x owners?

As I said most of the 2014 line already has the updates approved. Moto only controls directly the devices they listed, the carrier ones even if moto puts out the update is still required to have carrier approval. The pure's are the only ones in the gen 2 moto x line that moto DIRECTLY controls updates for. Might be as simple as moto wont say that's Verizon for example will or will not get updates as the final decision is Verizons where as the pure the decision is exclusively Motorolas.

I could be wrong, but where's their screenshots, or at least an article with more detail than "We got it"?
What's new? Is it stable? Should we take it? Those could all be important.

Oh, you mean screenshots of other screens in the OS other than the "About" settings page... My bad.

Based upon the comments on multiple threads (android police, gsmarena), it appears to be a soak. But it should roll out real soon.
If anyone here has it, has the low notification volume been fixed or has anyone heard? Thanks

99% of Moto Z owners could have told you that day after it was "released".
Funny that the people that got the soak didn't sign up for it. Equally funny that an apparent Verizon employee on here assured us it was out. And probably the funniest thing of this whole situation is "news" sites like Android Authority, Droid Life, etc. consider a single poster on Reddit a reliable source.

What's even funnier: https://www.xda-developers.com/veri...ougat-to-the-moto-z-droid-moto-z-droid-force/
XDA said it, it must be true.

Until people actually start getting it I don't think I'll stop. Does skepticism bother you?

Not just pending, but pending partner support. Not just any partner, but Big Red. It could be weeks before we see the update.

Does say its rolling out this week. Written on 21st of November. I'd say its coming v soon
