I see the droid x and droid 2 have both received the update for android 2.2.3 and yet my original droid doesn't show an update available and sum googling doesn't show any information about when or even if it will be available for the original.I caint imagine they wouldn't offer the update to the droid 1 handsets but maybe sumone has the inside scoop?

Anybody heard anything about Gingerbread (Android 2.3) for the Droid 2 Global? I see it's been leaked for the Droid 2 and Droid X, so curious how far away we could be. Is there anywhere to monitor Motorola's timeline for OTA releases?
Thanks.
You can check out this forum for someone that has it installed:

From what I understand, the update has to also go through Verizon's QA process before it is released. Maybe someone else can confirm that.

Atrix 2 gets it in Q3.
So when moto phones get 4.0 the Nexii will be getting 5.0
Also what happened to "You will have ICS on the Razr within 6 weeks"
No ICS for the Defy+? Are you kidding me? :O There were rumors about ICS beta versions for Defy+ being tested in the Moto labs...? :/
Nothing confirmed for Droid 3 and even Droid 4? That (and the reset of these timings) are ridiculous.
moto's update policy is quiet bad. I think it's the main resaon not to buy a razr.
I hope Google cleans up their mess.
Q3 for a bunch of their somewhat newer phones? Bad.
Hello all!
I currently have a Droid X w/ CM10 installed. I'm having the Droid X screen issue where the bottom 1/4 of the screen is black/or snow. so I'm thinking it may be time to move on to a new phone, so naturally I'm looking at the Maxx HD. I played with one at the VZW store and wasn't wholy impressed by the Motorola interface and would like to see the CM10 interface (or similar) on the Maxx HD.
I notice that a lot of the models have similar hardware, but what I can't figure out is how to determine what ROM's will work on which models, or if any of the RAZR ROM's will work on any of the variants?
thanks!
I came from a Droid X to the MAXX HD. As far as the interface, keep in mind that CM9 (because CM10 is Jellybean and there are no JB ROMs for the DX, just the X2) was ICS and the HD is Jellybean. Not a lot of difference in looks, but you're comparing a custom ROM to stock, so the stock JB interface doesn't seem to offer as much. As far as ROMs go, dev support is lacking. There are some ROMs available for the phone though. The biggest problem right now is if you can root the phone. If the phone has the current 4.1.2 update on it there's currently no way to root it. Anything prior to that can be rooted.

thanks for the detailed response!
oops, yes, CM9!
It's those customizations that I really like! (being able to hold-press the bluetooth and wifi icons to go to their settings is a stupid, but useful tweak, etc)
It sounds like I wouldn't be able to get them easily. Is the Verizon JB release the stock JB interface? What's the "MotoBlur" I keep reading about?
thanks!

There is little of any moto blur around anymore and hasn't been since ics was officially released. Moto has the most stock like interface of any of the majors.

ok, so all the differences I saw were what CM9 adds to the game. good to know, thanks!
Yep. CM9 had a lot more personalization options because they were baked into the ROM by the devs.

Will any of CM10 versions like "Spyder" work on the XT926?

I also would like to know before I root and unlock the boot loader.
hi , Motorola has a daydream app called droid dream.. I just got rid of my droid maxx and I loved that app (more of a theme)here is a link to it
http://www.behance.net/gallery/Droid-Dream/10287859
My question is... is it possible to get this on the HTc ONE MAX? and could someone do it?
DROID Dream is a screensaver like experience that is currently available on the 2013 DROID Ultra and Maxx smartphones by Motorola. This feature allows users to see time, date, and recent notifications while the phone is docked or being charged. The information block simply shifts up and down slowly over any type of wallpaper. This project was done as part of an internship with Motorola Mobility in Chicago
I was wondering if it was possible to get on my htc one maxx..
Thank you in advance.

really ?>??? no one can help?
Have you tried to find out abreast files go with the droid dream apk... Or if it's specific to moto firmware?
XT1080
UNLOCKED
ROOTED
STOCK- 4.4
I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this question and it's not for lack of looking. I know that the Cyanogenmod "unified" ROM is the same for both devices which, as the owner of a Droid Maxx, I find encouraging. But there is very little ROM development activity around the Ultra/Maxx while there seems to be a TON of activity around the Moto X. I've searched many of the Moto X Development threads for references to the Maxx and/or the XT1080 but haven't found many (mainly in signatures). Is there a rule of thumb about this, like "all Moto X ROMs are compatible", or "none are" or "here's how to tell which ones are"?
Eclipse makes a xt1080 room. Every time I try a rom though I go back to stock with gravity box. It is sad though that this is the forgotten phone because I love mine and oh yeah I'm stuck with it forever.

If in the download link it says "msm8960dt" then it will also work with the Maxx. Also, this should not be in Android Development. Q&A would make more sense for it.

I, too, have discovered that there are a couple of ROMs that are XT1080 specific and that msm8960dt releases will work on the Droid Maxx (and other phones). What I'm most curious about are all the ROMs being discussed on XDA's Moto X Development forum. I've had a Droid Razr Maxx and a Razr Maxx HD. I was once flashing a new ROM once a week, it seemed. Many of those devs, or ones that stepped in to replace others, are active on the Moto X. Carbon, LiquidSmooth, Pacman, ParanoidAndroid, Eclipse and many other custom ROMs I've not heard of are in active discussions and, it seems, active development for the Moto X. If Moto X and Droid Maxx can both be flashed with the same Cyanogenmod ROM (msm8960dt), can custom ROMs built for one be flashed on the other? I've got a Maxx Droid DE and another one that's rooted but has a locked bootloader. Can any of those Moto X ROMs be safely flashed on either/both or these phones?
I just said that if the download links say msm8960dt then it will work. I've used all ROMS you mentioned on my Droid Maxx. You just have to be careful with the stock based ROMS for the X. You have to flash from the correct firmware.

I think I understand what you're saying. I've gone back and reread the various ROM threads with your criteria in mind and found that several are indeed msm8960dt-based while others say (for instance) "must be on 4.4.2 before flashing". If a ROM is "based on AOSP" does that tell me anything about compatibility?
The ones that say must be on 4.4.2 are probably all stock based, and I think pretty much all the AOSP ROMS will work with the Maxx.

Ummm yeah most moto x Roms work on MAXX. They are pretty much the same phone. Look thru the moto x threads on here. Lots of people posting who r on maxxes and x's
