But no Moto Voice right? You can't use Google Now or anything with the screen off and NOT charging? And you don't mean Moto gestures... its baked into CM's settings/options?

Dirty Unicorn has been rock solid and I suggest staying away from CM based roms as they tend to have issues. Staying with AOSP based roms will give you better stability and Dirty offers a lot of options and features that limits your need for Xposed.
You can see the Dirty Unicorn XDA thread, but that is limited as it is just a dropping off point. you are better using their Google+ community.

Daam. So what are my other options lol.. Guess I have to go back to factory stock

I prefer CM 13 ROM above all other ROMs.

Try them all and decide for yourself. DU is by far more reliable and feature filled than cm. I ran cm for a few days but in the end pound for pound DU for me outperforms cm.

However there is any information about how well the hal3 enable mod works on that ROM...how manual can we get with the cameras nor if the ROM comes with some ported camera app

Two ROMs that I've had the best luck with are DU and Orion.
Orion has issues with the microphone. It seems to have low sensitivity so I have to talk really loud in call and even when using google speech to text I have to speak up. Others have had issues with MMS but it seemed fine to me.
DU seemed to have significant battery drain and random reboots on 10.6. Using 10.5 seems to solve both of these issues so for now DU 10.5 has been my daily driver.
Both are great ROMs and are both AOSP based. Resurrection Remix I've also used for a while but also had microphone issues which was a dealbreaker for me.

Best ROM for me. I'm on the February update.

Since I'm running Stock ( MPHS24.49-18-4 (May 1, 16) Security Patch) with Chainfire's SystemLess Root http://www.xda-developers.com/chainfire-releases-root-for-android-6-0-without-modifying-system/, I have absolutely NO PROBLEMS with anything ( a bit bumpy in the beginning but working great ). I have been running flawlessly since I got my MOTO X Pure (2015) from SWAPPA https://swappa.com/. I LOVE THIS PHONE!!! and now will be even better https://motorola-blog.blogspot.com/2016/10/n-is-for-nougat-android-70-is-coming-to.html?m=1, I just can't wait until June of 2017, or whenever MOTO/Lenovo pushes it out..

I have tried most of them (with TruePure being the best "custom" rom) and found that stock with root,xposed/gravitybox, and substratum is the best hands down. I mean honestly, with stock and gravitybox and using substratum in legacy RRO mode really does everything a custom rom does cleanly and bug free. I just recently fastboot flashed the current Sept factory image from Moto coming from TruPure, flashed TWRP, rooted, and set up exposed. The latest radio is already performing better than on TruPure, and the performance/battery is identical. I'd highly recommend this to anyone that's been running custom for a while. A nice factory image flash updates ALL of your partitions to the current build and I am truly seeing better signal performance (I am on verizon) from the "band 12 fix" radio that was really the only latest flashable radio for us.

Can u provide link to the latest stock rom mentioned

I think you can grab it here... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1t...FJjRV8tMk1LRFU

I have tried various different custom ROMs such as DU, TruPure, Orion, AICP and found TruPure to be the most stable and Orion to be the fastest. However, TruPure started having very noticeable lag so I switched to Orion and the speed difference was night and day. However my one and only issue with Orion was that WIFI was incredibly slow. I constantly had to toggle wifi on off to get the speed back. I found this issue in DU and AICP also.
Now I am running the 6.0 Sabissimo V1 and Wifi is back to normal. Its sad becasue Orion was fantastic in its speed and customization! I really miss the little features such as adding date on status bar, % only battery sign, killall option when recents menu opened, and etc.
I just want stock rom stability with system customizations such as % only battery sign & the killall option when recents menu opened. I dont care for themes at all

The ROM you mentioned is an AOSP I imagine. Any pratfalls with AOSP? There's always it seems that doesn't work.

What ROM are you using and why?

Hi all! Here you can share what ROMs you use on the Moto X Play device. Why have you chosen that ROM, what's the name? And if you want link the download for other users to see! :good:
RR - Best stability, Best customistaion
XDrom, for privacy reasons
1) rr
2) krexus
3) tesla
4) xosp
all with multirom
Just for fun, I'm a flashaholic.
I use XOSP ROM at the moment as big fan of sony xperia software. Might try some of your suggestions as well though.
Custom Rom: RR the best, stability,customitation,battery life!!
Stock Rom: Epsilon v1 : stability like a stock with included squid kernel
Its so personal. I like it simple and clean. Stock or debloated roms only. Mostly i get lost in all the extra settings and menu's and realize I never gonna use and need all this extra stuff that ruins my sot and return to stock the next day.

I find that as well, although have started experimenting with those settings. I am now experimenting with the Resurrection Remix ROM. You should definitely check and experiment with the settings at some point.

Yup, its the most feature rich rom. Happy experimenting. Why i chose RR is because there are no bugs for me like the camera hdr bug or inability to store to sd card through inbuilt cam. Also its officially supported by themes.
Stock ROM with Xposed because I like the stability and battery life is good.
Cyanogenmod 13 and RR are good but their battery is really bad,im on stock and is the best.
i always end up back on stock + xposed on all phones i got .
For me the best is plain CM13. Has all the features I use and more and most roms use it as basis for varous thins like security updates.

I don't give heed to SOT now. Although it between 5+ hrs i guess.
AICP. 'Cos the OTA update works, and the nighties mostly keep up with the latest CM13 updates. And AICP Extras!

Best rom on this phone for STABILITY and SPEED?

Have been on true pure since day one... Great stability and speed. Can anyone recommend anything else though? Am looking for a reason to try something new.
As title says , all I really care about is stability and speed. Thx

If you're looking for a 7.1 ROM, try out dirty unicorns. They are not on XDA, but they have a Google+ page and a website with downloads for Clark. It is one of the most stable ROMS right know for this device. If you wanna stay on marshmallow I'm pretty sure Tru pure is still a great ROM, and you probably wouldn't wanna change.
I've gone back to stock with this device as every custom rom that I have tried has had some issue or another, making them unstable. The Brazilian stock nougat TWRP backup that is available on this forum is working surprisingly well on my device, an XT1572 being used in the UK.

How do work the gestures on DU? Just like on the stock? Worse/better?

None of the ROM'S do gestures as well as the stock gestures work, such as waving hand to wake the phone..etc..but they still work fairly well. Dirty unicorns also has the other moto gestures such as flip the phone to silence among others.
+1 for dirty unicorns. I'm running on their latest official release and its pretty good.
The latest build of stock 6.0.1 + Root + Xposed.
Stock... pure, untouched stock is the best for stability and speed, no doubt about it.
If you mean what CUSTOM rom is best, BrokenOS for MM or Dirty Unicorns for Nougat... Both are good, but neither one is as stable as stock.
Tesla.

After testing Tesla, DU, RR, crDrpid, and tipsy, I can say DU is best nougat ROM and like @acejavelin said BrokenOS is best Marshmallow ROM
I also agree that stock untouched is best way to go besides custom ROMs
i am using AISP rom and it is working well so far. Fast and smooth so far with huge amount of apps in background, also phone is not overhearting
no bootlops, no crashes etc
Ok, I guess I should probably flash a stock rom image then... Where can I find an official link?

a new rom? grass is always greener

Hi all,
Have been using the 1+5 since launch day, bought this beast at midnight on launch day and since then it's just amazed me....but I've been stuck picking a ROM due to the encryption decryption worry, I'm currently decrypted on xXx
What ROM are you using and why?
Not looking for the best, just for the points of why one over another.
Cheers.
Hi!

What do the other ROMs offer over OOS? If anything? Easier theming?

Different ROMs are build above different sources -- OOS, AOSP, LineageOS... -- and contain various modifications -- theming options, kernel tweaking, features ported from other devices, ability to streamline the system experience, stellar stability or release-early-release-often, etc. Every ROM is different, though at some point they offer more of less similar features -- eck, it's all Android at the core! Still, they represent what their devs feel is important for a joyful experience. Read the first post of a topic, you should have a general idea of what you get.

Thanks, maybe I didn't explain it enough, what I meant was what do you use and prefer and why?
What features sell you the ROM of your choice over others.
I think you can see by the amount of phones I've had that I've seen quite a few.
What are you using at the moment and why?
Benefit over OOS?
I've always been in love with Codename Phoenix, and I still am. I flashed everything there is out there, and every kernel. My conclusion: either OOS, or Phoenix. All the others either have some bugs or annoying problems. I choose Phoenix over OOS because it is just as smooth if not even smoother & faster while providing much more features than OOS. Also, 2 stable builds a month. That's much faster updates than OOS.

The rom also has OOS cam working. The ROM itself is closed source, but it's stellar, so I am sure there's a reason behind him making it closed source. I bet he is some ex developer of some other mainstream rom who really knows his stuff.
The rom that give Codename Phoenix a head to head competition is AOSIP, I have used both and settled down on latter.

Aye i was looking at that one, again though it aims towards encrypted devices, I'm currently decrypted and have fallen foul of the memory becoming unreadable and thus losing data before, that noverity is that all you flash after the rom?

In that order right?

Will look into it this week sometime. :good:
I went with AICP, firmware 5.1 at this point is needed with it. Modded Gcam working, modded oneplus cam also working. Alot of features, uses LOS and others for base. if your a flashaholic like myself they have nightlies close to every night even. If you want a custom kernel most of the LOS compatble ones (EX, Flash, Franco) work. Battery life is great, and I like the feature set. Eneough tweaking I dont need substratum to have the look I want. Using Magisk 14.4 beta for root. solid eneough to be a daily driver for sure. Bluetooth works perfect for me as well, no wifi issues.
Still using Pure Fusion 7.1.2, as it's aosp-based yet has oos camera fully working(with portrait and slow-mo).

To put Phoenix on my OP5 and not lose data...
In TWRP:

2. Flash Phoenix
3. Flash GAPPS
4. Flash Magisk
Done?

Not a worry for me that, I've got a Lumie that gets brighter in the morning and tweets at me, wakes me up better than a normal alarm.
How's theming on pure fusion? Been having some issues with my preferred theme lately, in fact so many themes these days don't work.
Google just wants to be lighter and lighter, how they haven't got a dark side I'll never know.
Besides robbing everyone's data
Just like OP, i'm running xXx oos based rom since the beginning, and i'm pretty happy with it.
I'm interested in trying some custom roms, but i've read almost everywhere that custom roms can't get close to camera quality of OOS, is this still true ?
I don't mind flashing any magisk camera mod module if that could help :good:

Which one is currently (Oct-2018) the best XT907 Custom ROM to use?

Good afternoon!
Well, after being loyal to this Motorola for a couple years, I finally got on my hands a XT907 with Android 4.1 (that means I can unlock bootloader for free! YAY!)
Since something like January 2017, I want to have a higher Android version on a Motorola RAZR M. Back then, I had a couple ROMs on a list what I wanted to test. However, I got a XT907 capable of this 22 months later
So, now what we are on 2018 and things evolved a lot, I want to hear suggestions: Which one is, for you, right now, the best Custom ROM to use for a daily use? That means this XT907 will be my principal phone, so I'll use from Office Suite to Hotspot (Short words: I need a ROM fully functional).
Thanks in advance :highfive:
I have recently flashed CRDroid Android 7.1.2 shared by DiamondJohn, it looks great with Overclocking and extra customization, so far there is no bug apparently, and being on unlocked bootloader means you can switch to any rom after testing, i had cm 12.1 before this which restart it self randomly after somedays, so def Android 7.1.2 is so faar good one.

I see. I just installed to my mother XT912 LineageOS 14.1, and that is my first experience seeing a non-stock ROM on a Motorola hahaha
Just wondering: You need to overclock CRDroid Android 7.1.2 for it to run smoothly? Or I can just install it to run it well?
I don't have much experience going deeper on customization. The farthest I have went is Xposed Framework in Motorola, and Custom ROM/Kernel in Samsung

Hows your battery so far ?
i was using CrDroid 7.1.2 , but as everyone know Lineage OS 14.1 and all other Nougat Rom have problems with battery calibration on our devices so i reverted back to Marshmallow Lineage OS 13, so far battery is working alright but not as good as Lollipop, so i might revert back to Kitkat Bootloader and then CM 12.1 after somedays.

My battery is running out faster than usual, but that isn't a problem for me (for now). I overclocked it with Kernel Adiutor (yeah, 'Adiutor') and it's working fine! :laugh:

in performance, battery life etc. :good:
i have omni 6 rn
performace is good but battery life was better in 7

Derivative

I currently have Unlegacy Android 7.1.2 June 2020 build installed, but i'm planning to downgrade. Is omni roms a derivative of some other rom or is it independent? I don't like Lineage OS 13 and Slim 6 is a derivative of LOS. I have not tried omni 6 as of now.
I just got this tablet from a friend. I tried factory reset on the existing stock rom it had, I installed 4 different custom roms and I then went back to stock rom(4.2.2). This thing is so friggin laggy. Was there ever a time(rom) that this thing worked properly? I just want it for browsing, and it takes FOREVER to load a page(if it loads at all). As is, it is a useless piece of junk.
yeah I've just found it inside a closed. Flashed a few "newish roms" and it lags a lot even in the UI and random issues like Missing the top menu until I go into settings.
Will try to go back to 4.x and see if it lags there too. I remember it to be usable once booted.
It seems to heat a lot. Don't know if these things have a thermal paste.
edit cm11 2020 update works ok. but i need 5.0 up
try slim roms. i just flashed 6.0 and seems fine, 2020 security updates on andi's website

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. Out of those 4 custom roms you've tried, were any of them based off android 6? If all of them were android 7 based, then there's the problem. As of now, any custom rom based off android 7 are unstable. If you want stability, then go with Unlegacy Android 6, Lineage OS 13, Slim6 and Omni6(highly recommended).

Andi omni ROMs are quite good for performance and battery just don't install gapps. But I have not tried unlegacy yet but other than that I kind tried everything else

Slim 6 is like the worst for me
And the heating isn't exactly the rarest thing for this thing. If you want to sacrifice some of the apps you may use that require gapps then ditch google services entirely it improves performance and battery
Then for YouTube use vanced and for the app store use aurora

Why tho nougat worked nice. It only starts lagging when you flash gapps so I don't

I'm not too sure about it since i flashed gapps, but you would have to flash f droid apk with TWRP. Aurora Store is what you'd use to download the file manager

Download F Droid apk with another device such as a pc or another android. Send the apk to a micro sd card and put in your GT2.
If your GT2 have TWRP, use it to flash F Droid apk.
If successful, download Aurora Store via F Droid.
I always went with gapps, so these instructions are not 100% accurate, i hope i could help you out.
