Guys Motorola just released list of devices that will be officially supported for Android 7.0.Unfortunately Moto Turbo did not make into that list.Now i see no chances in future too Although Droid Turbo 2 made into that list
The Droid Turbo is still waiting on Marshmallow, let alone Nougat. Its international model, the Maxx, didn't even get MM until earlier this year. We'll probably be lucky if we get official MM at all.
Speaking of which, the Maxx isn't on the list either, which doesn't bode well. Probably going to have to wait and hope someone builds CM14 for our phone, if you want Nougat.
CM14 (Nougat) will come for Quark

You are referring to this updated Nougat device list from Motorola:
http://motorola-blog.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/n-is-for-nougat-android-70-is-coming-to.html
There was an earlier list 3 months ago, with more devices to be added at a "later date". Yeah, no Quark phones made the updated list.
Of course, the Droid Turbo XT1254 made the Motorola "Marshmallow" list back on October 2, 2015 but Verizon deigned not release it to Droid Turbo owners (yet or maybe ever).

That someone is our CM dev @Skrilax_CZ, and he has already committed to that.
Quark got Lollipop before Motorola gave it to us (March 2014 vs April 2015), Marshmallow before Motorola gave it to us (February 2016 vs July 2016) and will get Nougat. He's just waiting until nightlies for any CM14 ROM starts rolling out.

Then, after Quark CM14 -- especially the kernel work -- other ROMs can build on that framework. We have 7 custom Marshmallow ROMs for the Quark (maybe 8 depending on how you count) -- they work on ALL Quarks, thanks to our CM dev. '
No reason we won't have just as many Nougat based ROMs.
Here's hoping that CM14 fixes the signal issues of CM13
I unlocked my bootloader (SU4TL-49) but now puzzled if I should wait for CM14 or install CM13 now...
I am new to installing a custom ROM and don't know if it is worth the time to install a soon-to-be outdated ROM.
Also, if the recommendation will be to still install now, which ROM to get. Just sick of Verizon and Motorola crap.
Thanks

Install now. CM13 (Marshmallow) was in "beta"/preview the first month. (And that "first month" for CM14 Quark ROM may not be until November.) Whereas CM12.1 (Lollipop) was rock solid. I didn't switch to a Marshmallow ROM for awhile, from CM12.1.
Go with the stable ROM (CM13) or other Marshmallow ROM for now. You can always change by end of the year.
You may even like Marshmallow Bliss or Resurrection Remix ROMs better than CM13. They seem to be the two most popular right now.
Edit: changed a word with a synonym so it would be understood without a negative connotation:
I'm typically a cyanogenmod fan and I used cm on this device since it was stable until a few weeks ago.
I'm currently rocking marshmallow Nexus experience rom, but before I go back to cm13 I'm going to try mokee.
Resurrection remix and bliss are filled with features. This is NOT a bad thing it is just features I hold little interest in and I keep finding myself just going back to cm.
Nexus experience doesn't screen cast right. Other than that it works great.
Cm13 doesn't pass Android pay or Pokemon go security checks. Rooting is NOT enough. So if you use either app my recommendation is Resurrection remix, Nexus experience or stock brazil marshmallow without volte
ALL Roms other than stock lollipop based Roms do NOT support volte (data during phone calls)
ChazzMatt and mrkhigh,
I can't thank you enough for quick and detailed responses!
Sounds great, I'll do some more reading on those roms and decide which one to get.
Thanks!

Bliss isn't "bloated", it has the smallest footprint of any ROM I've built or used. And it reboots in under 30 seconds, my Keurig isn't that fast. @bhb27 is constantly working on RR, and it's the most popular/downloaded ROM we have, no doubt about it.
VoLTE is something you have to sacrifice in order to use a custom ROM. bhb is trying to fix that too, but unfortunately, he lives in Brazil and is not a VZW customer.
I know that you know what you're talking about (been around long enough to see that), but to say Bliss is "bloated"...
My apologies. You took it wrong... I said it was bloated with features.... Meaning lots and lots of features.
They are features I don't use. So for me they are by definition 'bloat' but i did then say that's not a bad thing.
Probably a poor choice of words since it is often used negatively. Kinda like the word ignorant sounds bad but it would be completely correct to say "I'm ignorant in Pascal coding."
Bliss is an amazing rom. Just like cm rr and mokee.

Words are funny like that, yes? Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to a custom ROM (good thing we have many to choose from, lol), I just misinterpreted your meaning of "bloat", so: My apologies to you as well :highfive:

I've been considering leaving CM13 do I can use Android Pay and Pokemon Go(my son loves to play) which ROM do you recommend, Nexus experience or Brazilian stock? Which one is less hassle to get those apps working?

Neither. If you want those things, you'll need to install the latest official Motorola release for your Droid Turbo, and nothing else. The latest update to SafetyNet broke the workarounds that were used in CM-based ROMS (Brazilian stock never passed SafetyNet at all, even without root or xposed installed). I think suhide might still work, but only on a stock marshmallow ROM that passes SafetyNet, and we don't have that.
EDIT: Never mind. I might be wrong about all of that. Check out Resurrection Remix. The dev has added a companion app called iSu that works as of 3 days ago for hiding root (stock CM root, do not install SuperSU), and apparently it passes safetynet.
JFYKI, I haven't tried out Bliss yet but I noticed that ROM size is 330mb for Bliss while RR is 273mb. I am quite satisfied with latest version of RR on XT1254.
The size of the system partition, if I'm not mistaken and assuming you have not manually resized it, is about 3 GB. So I'm pretty sure neither Bliss nor RR is going to fill that up anytime soon. But if you can somehow fill up that partition with mods that need over 10 times the space of the base OS, you are my hero.
The system partition is 1.94gb and I haven't ever resized the partition. With stock based ROMs, I was struggling with space on system partition. You're correct that with almost everything installed that I need, there's still 500+mb available.

RR is your best bet. Use the iSU app and you can "keep" root
I'm currently using it due to that exact reason.
With nexus you'll have to simply "unroot" I left that ROM because face book kept locking up?!
And I would ASSUME the Brazil ROM would work out of the box since I do not believe it includes root.
Resurrection remix works just fine
Fwiw I think Brazil ROM no root would be a great choice as well. Nexus was buggy with Facebook for some reason but unrooted it passed safety net
Cm13 will NOT pass even unrooted. No idea why.
Brazilian does not play nice with Xposed...
Hey guys! Some very talented developers have been working on unofficial releases for a while already, and I am unsure whether to go for their takes or wait until an Official version is released. Any predictions on when this might happen? Or should I just void my warranty and go for Vache's build? Thanks!!!
I might also like this. While Motorola says they will release Oreo for Potter, they seemingly haven't provided any timetable for that. I am a bit hesitant to install a LineageOS nightly on my daily driver, but I would love having the option, especially if it turns out that Motorola botches the Oreo upgrade.

I have been using Vache's/fAIyaZ 7.1.2 build for some days now. Only found one bug, Skype wouldn't manage to access the camera for video-chatting, but I found a solution for it (activating Camera 2 API from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/themes/potentially-google-camera-port-t3684264 ). Other than that, everything works perfectly (and a lot better than the Moto built-in tracking suite they ship the phone with).
Applying an unofficial fix to an unofficial port sounds a bit problematic. Do you think it would be possible for Vache/fAlyaZ to fix this in their port somehow? Or would it be more of a gapps thing? Or neither?
It seems so insane to me that there is no official LineageOS for Potter yet? I couldn't have even imagined that it wouldn't be released quickly when I bought the Moto G5 Plus - I though it is such a popular phone, so well reviewed for the price, able to be unlocked, etc. How can it no be better supported by the LineageOS team?
Sorry to necro this thread, but Oreo has now been officially released for Potter, after seemingly forever. What are the chances of getting an official 15.1 build for Potter any time soon?
I know Vache's unofficial build is much loved on here, and I think there's a 16.0 unofficial build I've seen flowing around as well, but some of us would rather go with an official build if one is available.
Don't mean to be a d*ck, but just follow the trending topics on the forum and you'll see where everyone has flocked to. At the moment I believe there's no need to program Lineage for Pie, when we have one extremely good AOSP based version online. Install the Pie version of the system that can be shot from a bow and never look back... Vache did a great job for as long as he did it, and a couple of other contributors too, so <3 thank you
now everyone seems to be somewhere else, that's how it goes
all the previous versions and knowledge gained from them kept being passed forward to ports from the next version of Android as well, so you'd have to look at Lineage Pie. Lineage16 seems to still be too raw for Potter, which means you likely won't see any official version soon. With Pie out, everyone's efforts turn to it, so you can see also that the 15.1 thread is pretty much dead.
Is it possible for someone to take the oreo build from the Axon 7 and tweak it for the mini or is that wishful thinking

I would suggest patience. Custom ROM development was just started on this phone a few months ago. The main dev working on it, tdm, is trying to get an official LineageOS 14.1 build (Nougat) done. It's not impossible, but I doubt it's easy because although their names are similar, they're two distinctly different devices. It'll be much easier if ZTE goes crazy and does an Oreo update for the Mini.
I wasn't expecting or demanding a working rom. I understand these things take time. I was just curious as if it may be a simple process considering the differences between devices. I have been very involved in the development forums and have been testing and reporting the builds as they are released. I am content with the current releases of custom roms.

Ah, the limitations of typed words. I didn't intend to imply you were being demanding. I'm not a developer, but I doubt we'll see Oreo on the Mini unless ZTE has an official release. I'm currently on Lineage 14.1 on the Mini and every build keeps getting better (with a few bumps along the way of course). I'll love it if I'm wrong about this of course
Sent from my Axon 7 Mini using XDA Labs
Tdm has said a while back that he may begin work on Oreo once LineageOS 15.1 nightlies begin rolling out or when the maintainer for the HTC One A9 builds Oreo for it.

I would like it if a developer like nayan deka or amarc78 would provide an Android Oreo (8.1, NOT 8.0) custom ROM for the Moto E4 (Qualcomm), like a RR-O, Pixel Experience 8.1, Lineage OS 15.1, or AICP 13.1.
Any of those would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.
I'd really like that too! I'm really disappointed with Motorola lately. Ever since Lenovo bought them it's been downhill. I know the E4 is a budget phone, but come on Moto, just one major update, please?
Its under construction,,,also place this thread in Q&A section
It's a WIP currently, not to mention a lot of Oreo ROM sources such as Dot, MoonOS, etc. are still WIP too. We'll try when we can ^.^

We try not to ask for eta here. It's actually against the rules. Besides, it's not a matter of porting. It's about creating a device tree for Oreo for this device. That is pretty involved, and there are folks working on it. Sit tight, and try not to ask for eta, it kinda rude. It will happen when it happens. Remember, we don't even have ANY official nougat ROMs yet.

I applied for maintainership of DotOS, once Oreo trees are up and LTE is patched into the trees for it to work without flashing anything then there's a chance Dot will be official. I'm also in the process of applying to have crDroid official for the Perry and also the Falcon. Seems like a few ROM sources are waiting for Oreo builds for devices before bringing on maintainers now that Oreo seems to be the main focus of development

Did this really need a request? Oreo (wait...only 8.1; none of that 8.0 crap) will come when prerequisites are in place and the *volunteer* ROM maintainers have time to address. Until then you'll need to 'suffer' through one of the numerous Nougat based alternatives...including stable, fully featured stock. Toss in Xposed framework and a couple modules and you have everything Oreo brings to the table.

Well, with Lineage OS 15.1 now out in the wild, I can't wait to see it being ported to the E4 soon.
I chose to watch the e4, because of all the phones shown in MetroPCS free offer deal (gonna switch from Sprint soon), the E4 looked more like it could take Lineage OS 15.1. I looked for even LOS 14.1 ROMs, and not one of these phones could provide me with an accurate result, except the e4.
Question: with all these ROMs now developing from Lineage OS 15.1, which ROM would you recommend I flash when I get the phone? RR, AICP, AEX, DotOS, or plain ol' Lineage?
I'd like it if one of the LOS 15.1 developers for the E4 were to make their builds official. It could really help with OTAs.

Dude, it's more involved than you think to make rom official. You don't get to just "make" it official. LineageOS has very strict criteria for it becoming official (especially since 15). Just relax. We're still waiting for an Oreo common tree to be made. All of the nougat ROMs work fine on the metro e4.
It could be weeks before we see anything Oreo related. Maybe you should try learning to build something. You'll see what it takes for an official build. You have to have everything functioning, apply for maintainership, have it reviewed, be responsible for building it weekly, making sure everything stays functioning with every update, etc. Etc.
The roms that are available now are great. These guys do it in their spair time, because they like it.

With Lineage 15.1 for the E4, it's likely similar to how it is with the Moto G4 Play I also have. Only Squid can have Official LOS 15.1 on the Harpia, it'll probably be the same with the Perry especially since he does a lot on the device tree side of things. Plus most devs create ROMs they'd use such as myself (not everyone of course). I'm personally only unofficially maintaining the ROMs I'd personally use and there's no guarantee that I'll be able to become an official maintainer either in the future, it's all up to the ROM source maintainers and also almost every little thing has to be working flawlessly and there's still a few things that need to be worked on for Nougat. I do understand the excitement for a new Android release in the custom rom world, trust me I can't wait to get Oreo running on the E4 after using it on my G4P and I was hella excited for Lollipop on my old Nexus 4 years ago, however after developing I've more than learned it does take time. Madbat's right too, there are a good bit of custom Nougat roms out that will do the job for now and he's also right that it takes a lot to become a maintainer. As for which rom to recommend, all I gotta say is flash a few Nougat roms and experiment with them to see what suits your preferences the most. I might recommend Slim7 or Dot, and you might end up not liking them and like something entirely different. It'll come. Might be a few weeks, might be a month or two from now at least. But I tell you what as soon as trees are all up, expect Dot, MoonOS and possibly SlimROM. I have absolutely no ETA at this point either, just going with the flow right now ^.^
Ok. I heard from recent MetroPCS customers that the battery isn't the best, calls get hung up (and reception isn't good), and multitasking isn't great, there can be some network issues, and unfortunately, a bit more here.
If I were to buy the phone, and flash a one of the Nougat ROMs available, how would they improve the phone, concerning these problems found on the stock ROM? And how good was the gameplay for AR games like Pokemon Go, and graphic-demanding games, like Asphalt 8?

It's a budget phone. It is what it is. I can say from experience, battery life and multitasking are just fine. Reception depends on location. Metro has a pretty big network, and they merged with t mobile.
It's one of the best budget devices around.

What do you think are the chances of this device getting support for Project Treble in the future, either from an official implementation with the MIUI 9.5 update or unofficial community port? I'm on the verge of purchasing this device but the lack of Treble is the only thing holding me back at the moment. Treble will be revolutionary for custom ROM support in 2018 and so it wouldn't make sense for a flashaholic like myself to purchase a device without it.
I already bought the device, but I would really like treble support for this phone
we have to get O first, so calm down for a bit
have a nice day

Fair enough. I'm just unsure what to do at the moment because I want to buy this phone but don't want to invest in something that won't receive Treble support in a few months time. Maybe I should just wait and see what the Mi7 has to offer, as that will come with Oreo pre-installed like the Mi MIX 2S. Hopefully it won't come with a notch.

Why do you care about treble so much for a device that already has AOSP support ?, N Based ROMs are fully stable-ish at this point, O based ROMs will follow after Miui O update, so treble wont do that much for us
but if you end up getting Mix 2S or any other device with treble support, you dont have to wait for devs to support to your phone, just unlock & flash GSI builds, Treble is still a hit or miss follow Honor/Huawei devices forums for more info's

Thanks. I was interested in Treble mainly because it would allow flashing Treble-based ROMs that could be installed on any device. When Android P comes around it would mean getting it a lot quicker than if the phone did not have support for Project Treble. Still, it's good to know that all the currently available ROMs for the Mi Note 3 are stable and Oreo ROMs will be coming shortly. It looks like Oreo is scheduled for mid-April so there isn't too much longer to wait.
I cannot wait to see treble ported for our mi note 3
I'm starting to think xiaomi won't release an Oreo MIUI for Mi Note 3. If that's the case, will we be forever stuck in nougat? I thought if our device get treble supports, upgrades to later Android Versions (P, Q, and so on) will be assured. But it's like hoping for an Oreo ROM is already too much
Hey,Can anyone please guide me how to build an Oxygen OS for the Mi Note 3?It would be of great help... regards
