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.
It's really sad that stupid lenovo will phase out the Motorola brand. What do you think guys?

why sell it google? you were supposed to save Moto not leave it in darkness
It's really shocking ,, although it wldnt have mattered more ,bcoz what's in a name after all but to my and others Moto Fans full disaapointement ,They have clearly said in their statement from 2016 there will not be low to mid devices by Moto , those will be replaced by Lenovo Vibe series ,.
Thats means We are the owners of pretty last G and E series . Lenovo Vibe will be with their crap Lenovo UI ,, yesterday had a chance to play with Lenonvo K3 note ,, what a crap that device is , hangs like anything,15 min use and device start getting warm,and Ui is plain ugly and totally jerking ass even its hardware on par with G . 15 min usage and I started hating that device . It's really foolish if those G and E series will be kiled for Lenovo Vibe ,,
Moto name will be used for premium X series and tht wld be not more than 2 years after that Moto will also go and only Lenonvo will left.
This is transitioning phase ,they want to make it clear that they will replace Moto by Lenovo ,so they taking small steps in that direction ..
So yes Moto is already gone in mid to low and ,for premium X ,2 years max, after seeing all this .
Lenovo u r [email protected]##[email protected]###
Lenovo higher-ups announced that their company, which has owned Motorola since 2014, will be phasing out the brand name.
This doesn’t mean that the Moto line is dead, however. Moto smartphones will still be in production in the coming years, complete with their familiar M-brand symbol. However, these devices will also have Lenovo’s branding and iconography.

Google bought Motorola with a strategy. With the acquisition, Google also got all the patents that Motorola had filed since the beginning. And when they sold Motorola to Lenovo, Google kept the patents and now they license them to Lenovo, and rest manufacturers. Google is smart and cunning

Its not as simple as that,,,There willnot be G and E series anymore ,, Moto will be used for X only "for the time being ". Lenovo earlier said they will handle their mobile division to Motorola ,, months later they are giving Motorola mobile division to their own.
This is corporate transition phase , it will take time but eventually it will be complete. Wait for 1 more year ,u will not see left Moto logo also

Well, look at the Nokia. It must be dead after the agreement with MS, but more and more news point that Nokia will recover, and produce their own trademark phones.
This might happen with Motorola.
Isn't it ironic?

On the fingerprint Scanner ,,,This Moto G 2014 is quite a good hardware when its launched but now its getting old ,, Android 6 update will bring much needed boost to performance that this device deserves (after testing what Android 6 did to my brother Moto X play,thats now more snappier) ,,, and it will extend its life till 2016 Moto products out, I think I will wait for 2nd gen Moto X Play ,(with improvements like fingerprint Scanner,already exixting stellar battery life ,good daylight camera,,and some improvements to all these features ), may be we all Moto G 2014 owners will have true upgrade option
Motorola is legacy and tradition
keeping Brand Motorola intact and combining lenovo mobile Division under Motorola Brand would be the better Option for Lenovo than killing Motorola

Moto G is Snapdragon 400, quite good for even today standards. The bad thing was the 1GiB RAM on Moto G 2014, that is whats limiting it's potential.

Moto Devices will soon be a Legacy. Moto was good when it was with Google and made a Nexus too .
---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------
The older devices like MOTO G1 , MOTO G2 , MOTO E1 will soon lose support and development from the Motorola Devs . Then it is us who have to develop and update it to keep it up-to-date.
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.
http://motorola-blog.blogspot.com/2016/10/n-is-for-nougat-android-70-is-coming-to.html
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.
Curious if I am stuck with my G2 unless I get off of Verizon since it appears none of their new phones can be rooted? Now mind you, I have three G2's so it might be awhile before I break all 3. Of course there is the chance for batteries wearing out and the known screen problems (which one of mine has right now) so I have to hope available parts don't dry up. I'm just curious if there are any newer Verizon phones that can still be rooted and allow for custom recoveries\ROMS or do need to stock up on G2's while I can?
It would be easy to find the answer to your question. I don't think you have to be stuck with a 3-4 year old phone just because of root. A few off the top of my head rootable with plenty of support on XDA for Verizon is the
LG g4
Moto X pure
Galaxy Note 4
Nexus 6p
And that's just a few I know of for sure. A quick and easy Google search would satisfy your queries.
Good day and good luck.

Not sure about Moto X but Note 4 and Nexus 6P will suit you just fine.
My Octacore Note 4 is so fast in 2016 I'm not feeling the need to upgrade just yet

I'm always in the market for 'new' devices, one question, what SOC do you have and which would you recommend exynos or Snapdragon?
In terms of variety of ROMs and overall performance.

Exynos...
For me it's the superior version.
More ROMS exist for the Snapdragon version but Exynos still has quite a few great ROMS to chose from.
Don't root my phones much anymore so I need it to be powerful and lag free in stock form.
For gaming and other power hungry tasks the Exynos processor is what you need.
Plus battery life is very good. Never have problems there
Average 5-6hr screen on time with heavy use

The ability to root the G4 seems to be very dependent upon just which version of firmware and hardware that you get when you receive the phone. The more recent versions have anti rollback implemented in both the firmware and the hardware making it very challenging or even impossible to root. If you happen to end up with one running LP then it would be fairly straightforward to root, but the same cannot be said of MM.
Even the Verizon variant of the G3 hardware has been booby trapped with the later releases. Beware of the VS985k, for example. The 'k' indicates that it has anti rollback, and once MM gets installed, it can't be reverted to LP.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my post. I would like as many replies as possible regarding, what phone is next for you? Reason I am asking is, since the newer Samsung phones are coming out with lock bootloaders. What phones are you all jumping to next so you can still have a rooted phone?

I was thinking about the Note Fe......but for the price I could buy 3 new (ish) Note 3's from eBay, all with removable batteries and sd card slots, which would last me years when each one eventually went bad......possibly the Note 4 but I've done that and the silver bezel finish annoyed me along with the general fragility of the device, plus the screen cancelled out the processor upgrade.......I flit between Temasek's 12.1 and Phronesis Note 7 rom, both of which more than serve my needs. The Note 3 is truly a classic phone in my book ?
What do you think of j7 2016 or j7 2017 or lenovo p2 as replacement ?
Im attracted to theae phones for their battery life. My note 3 battery life is really aweful

What you can do is just replace your battery. As for the phone you mentioned, are they already able to be rooted?
