Is anyone actively developing for the Turbo 2? I have the Moto X Pure now and just ordered the Turbo 2, but it looks like there aren't any ROMS available. Just trying to figure out if I should return the Turbo 2 when it arrives.

Only this ROM is currently being developed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo-2/development/rom-cm-12-1-kinzie-t3319189
The developers have said that they don't have much time at the moment..
If you want to Root and ROM you bought the wrong phone.
You didn't think to check that out before you bought it?
Good ROMS are only available for old hardware. You just can't have it all! LOL

Why would anyone build a rom for a locked phone it could never be used on.
those on x force would be disappointed.

I am looking forward to something like CM13 for x force sometime in the future hopefully moto actions active display etc can be implemented properly.
Long time CM user i have flashed CM on most of my android phones through the years this one shouldnt be any different

Moto X will definetly get the Android L (probably its last update) .
The question is if we will be getting a dev preview too or just when it releases in October.

I know, but maybe companies have access to the source code.
I could only hope Motorola can make a dev preview for us too. I know it is a long shot, but I can only dream.
Regardless, all APKs will be taken out of the Nexus 5 preview and will probably work for every phone (new Gmail for exemple).

Yeah, I'm hoping too, but at least we'll have some APKs to play with. Maybe someone will ape some features via Xposed too. I love having new toys, like a brand new OS, but I am so happy with the current form of my Moto X that I won't be completely bummed if even the developer edition Moto X devices don't see a preview release.

I can't wait to use the new keyboard as well. It looked really good.
I'm waiting the moto 360 for now!!
If moto X doesn't update to the latest android L, I definetly flash a custom ROM or buy a nexus phone
I think it's quite likely that the X will get Android L when it's done, as even the Moto E is promised to get it. There will always be CyanogenMod and thelike, but I won't give up touchless controls and active notifications :/
As for the beta - Don't think so, but one can hope. Maybe kind of like motorola's soak-tests.
Punti from Motorola is on record as saying that the Moto X, G and I assume the E. ...will be supported for two years guranteed...
He even responded to one of my posts on G+ in which he confirmed it.

While I am all for new stuff. Let moto do it right. It will be ready when it is ready. Plus we get 4.4.4 soon.

I attended I/O in person and post this here just to FINALLY get around that stupid 10 post limitation to post Android TV apks.
I have a hypothetical question, maybe this question has been asked already for another phone but:
Is it possible to flash all the contents on a moto X force onto a Turbo 2? For example, is it possible to essentially clone a Moto X Force into the body of a turbo 2.
I am assuming root may be needed but that is another matter.
Since they are identical I would say yes. I remember topsnake ported a stock kk build from the moto x 2013 for our maxx and you used rsd to flash it. Those phones were almost identical almost. The force and turbo 2 are identical from what I have read.
Sent from my XT1585 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i had this same theory for the original turbo and the us cdma Moto Maxx. (xt1254 and xt1250 respectively). doesnt work because of checks. maybe those models are different. fxz fails bc bootloader checks model prior to flash. hopefully, those models are not as locked down.
Yeah they would have to be ported but it is possible. But no you can't just flash it.
Sent from my XT1585 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
its possible but not now, if droid turbo 2 had unlocked bootloader you could flash the moto x force firmware, but still cellular wont work.
so, not useful.
Debloating the stock rom should be easier but you still have no root.
Thanks! It was just a hypothetical question that I thought about after reading that the two phones are nearly identical.. and the differences between the two are pretty much superficial. Looking forward to buying the moto x force
The cellular would probably work for me since I am living in Canada.

So are we ever going to get official CM support for the Pure/Style? I really would love to use CM on this phone and I don't want to use unofficial ports. Are we waiting until 6.0 lands on our devices from Moto?
Cm13 official is out for other MOTO devices. But not for the pure. Haven't seen any news CM will officially support MOTO X Pure. Maybe they will support it once 6.0 is out? But not looking good imo. Might trade MOTO for my old OnePlus if non development continues. I am flasholic. This device isn't living up to the hype.

I'm the same way man. When I had my g3 I was flashing roms left and right it just feels weird to me now because all that I want is a good CM rom.
Hi! maybe this is a "young" phone. But i come from a Galaxy Note 3 and the community was superb.
Here we barely have threads.
The Droid Turbo 2 hasn't been rooted therefore there's no kernels or roms. The X-force is rootable but no devs have picked up working on it.

We should start a bounty for buying a device for one developer that commits to the device. Just saying.
I would try to learn a thing or two about creating roms and that. I develop apps, but i suppose that is quite different.
What is the point of creating ROMs or Kernels when there is no way to use them? Figure out how to unlock the phone first, and stop putting the cart before the horse.

The non rooted phone is the Verizone version. But there's not a dedicated forum to the Moto X force (kinzie).
It's rooted, nothing more unless I missed something. Hard to use a custom kernel or ROM if all you have is root, so my point remains accurate.

The X-force has an unlocked bootloader and root, it just needs someone to start developing for it. There's already an unofficial CM rom build thread going for it.
This forum really should break the Droid Turbo 2 and X-Force into different sub forums to stop confusion. They have the LG G2 broken down by the carrier, I don't see what the issue is with doing something similar for this model.

Yeah, well people complained about that in the Quark forum for MONTHS. Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx and Moto Turbo The Verizon Droid Turbo was locked down and those owners were jealous of all the dev work going on with the unlocked bootloader version. Just like here. We had TWRP, official CM (with improved Ambient Display with IR sensors response), Mokee ROM, Nexus Experience ROM.
They finally got the fourms split in September 2015, and guess what? Droid Turbo bootloader unlocked via Sunshine November 2015. Now, they all have to go over to the Moto Maxx forum for their dev fix. More Droid Turbo owners posting in the Moto Maxx forum than Moto Maxx owners. Yeah, the kernels and ROMs work on all Quarks.
I don't think jealously is a problem, it just confuses people.

I think most devs correctly identify which device their recovery/ROM/kernel works with in the op post. If people don't even read post #1 of a thread, their own fault.
Even just casually glancing through this forum, people are identifying which Kinzie they have, Moto X Force or Droid Turbo 2. I don't see an issue.
In the Quark forum it was problematic when people insisted on just saying "Turbo". Uh, WHICH Turbo? The Moto TURBO XT1225 or Droid TURBO XT1254?
With Moto X Force/Droid Turbo 2, you don't have that to worry about.
Is the droid turbo 2 planned to have Android 7 in the future ?
Nothing planned that any of us mortals knows. Time will tell.

X Play and Style are released before X Force/Turbo 2, so doesn't make sense to update older devices and left newer and last year flagships behind. But corporate logic is sometimes strange
Anyway, I'm pretty sure Force and with long Velay, Turbo 2 will get update.
I ask to Moto via twitter if Moto x Force will be updated to N:
twitter.com/Moto_Support/status/768395675210018816
It appears the Droid Turbo 2 is indeed on Moto's list of phones to update to 7.0.

No Moto X Force on the list (just kidding )
yes it is:

What's all the bedwetting about Nougat about? I have it on my 6P and from a user experience point of view the only difference from MM is the degraded battery life. Yup, you read that right, so far battery life on Nougat is worse than MM. Once Xposed is released that will likely change because Amplify and Greenify will work in their full glory, but as of today there is little/no reason to upgrade to Nougat, other than to experience the disappointment and then revert back to MM. For my money I will take root on the T2 over Nougat any time of day. At least then we get custom Kernel and the ability to make the already great battery life truly insane, which frankly is one of the few reasons to own a T2 anyway, at least IMO.
