Getting WM6.1 on Moto Q (aka Q8)

I have a Moto Q(8) from Sprint and I would like to do Motorola's (and Sprint's) job for them and get WM6.1 on my phone. On this forum, I've only found one working update, but it is for GSMA based phones. So, is there a way to port a Sprint Moto Q9c ROM to my Sprint Moto Q(8). If so, then can someone please tell me all the steps, as I'm very new to the whole mobile platform.

[Q] Kernels on other SGS3 variants?

Hey everyone,
I've never owned an unlocked phone before, so I apologize if this is a stupid/obvious question. I'm on the Verizon variant of the S3 and I'm looking around at other forums here and seeing some interesting kernel development, particularly faux123's kernel in the T-Mobile thread. I know that us Verizon folks used a Sprint verizon of ktoonsez's kernel before a Verizon version was released, so can it be assumed that an AOSP-based kernel for a T-Mobile or AT&T phone can be used on Verizon as well? I know Sprint is more similar to Verizon than TMO or AT&T, but as far as I can tell, kernel doesn't really touch most of that stuff.
Here is a link to the kernel in question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785472
If anyone knows whether this will work on a Verizon phone (or if I'm taking a major risk by flashing it, or if worst case scenario I just won't boot and I restore a backup), I would appreciate you passing on your knowledge.
Cheers

Well I got impatient and figured I would just flash it and see. Works fine as far as I can tell. Still, if anyone can answer, should this be applicable to all kernels? I'd love to test out all the AT&T/T-Mobile kernels (AOSP of course).

Which to buy Tmobile G3 or at&t G3

Pretty straight forward question
I am getting cheap unlocked G3 of one of those 2 variants and i want to know which of those 2 has better development and prospects of more cm based or stock roms in future
Also do these support flashing international stock or cm roms on them
i dont particularly like the stock lg look so i will mostly use cm based roms
i am a very old android user but would be very happy if people would help me with suggestions with best baseband/boot loader and other tweaks and apps for this lg g3
thank you
Also i was using a note 4 before this
so how is the performance since note 4 has 805 and this has 801 snapdragon
Also i saw at&t has more bands which is a nice bonus

If you are ready to spend money on LG G3 then i would recommend you to buy only international variant D855. The reason is to buy that is simply you will get more custom roms and official updates as compared to other variants. For example you will only get official updates on D850 (Att variant) when you have an active att network on that device. Also there is still no official CyanogenMod13 (Marshmallow based) custom rom for D850. But for D855 there are more roms and update arrives much quicker than others.
But if you only have choice b/w att and t-mobile then i would advice you to go for T-mobile variant. It will get updates and also more custom roms are available for it (Off-course less than D855).
b Yes you can get more CM based roms on both variants and also both are good. There are many custom roms available for both of variants. :laugh:

Go with Tmobile. I have the D850 (AT&T) unlocked on tmobile, and I wish I'd gone D855. The ATT model is PMA wireless charging, where the D855 is Qi. More people went with the Qi (international standard) so fewer roms are available for the ATT version (as mentioned above.)

Be sure to check out this website to confirm if the D855 will work on your network. For example, 4G would not work on Cricket with the D855 so I had to go with the D850.
I am second guessing myself now and think I might want to swap it out for a Zenfone 2, assuming it will get MM update soon. Gotta do some research....

both models are same except the lte bands. in my country, att works better because it has band3 1800mhz so lte works great here. Tmob missing it.
make sure which model has the band that works with your provider.

Need buying advice on which version of S6

I'm looking to buy an S6, probably used or refurb, but that doesn't really matter.
I'm in the US on T-Mobile.
I need to decide between the G920T (T-Mobile model) and the G920I/F (international model)
Some things about me:
I need Band 12 support for good building reception and all 3 models support that, correct?
I will be rooting which removes Samsung Pay as a selling point for the T-Mobile version.
My residence does not get great reception so I am interested in WiFi Calling. As I understand it the T-Mobile version has it, but I also remember reading Google was going to add it to Android natively??
I am potentially also interested in custom roms, but it seems not much progress for any version of the S6, correct?
Thanks for your help

Dont buy s6 its disaster go with nexus 6p i have s6 its sucks ! dont buy s7 too its more suck than s6 do you research before doing any mistake...my advice dont buy s6 or s7 Nexus 6p is the best
Peace

don't get the I version! We are still waiting for MM when most models had it WEEKS ago, plus it also gets fewer updates than the rest!

I have the U.S. T-Mobile version on an international ROM but I am trying to find a MM ROM for it. Not sure if it's out specifically for T-mo. Going to go stock and upgrade to MM because my ROM doesn't let me answer calls sometimes and I a couples other issues. Plus, I want to try out Samsung Pay. (Google pay doesn't work on rooted phones either).

Get a Nexus 6P dude. It already has Project Fi. Custom ROMs for S6 have undefined future (due to Exynos and Sam not releasing source) and with the speculations that the S7 might NEVER get custom ROMs it's probably a good idea to stay away from the flagship series.

If you need network specific features get the one from the network and resist rooting. This device is great even without root even better now with MM. I have resisted rooting for 10 months in the hopes of samsung pay (and significantly thinning my wallet) and it still isn't even available

Get a G920F. Ignore all the haters telling you to get a Nexus 6P. Huawei are awful and the support and product quality are awful.
Camera is iffy, stock Android has memory management issues, and it bends.
In all seriousness though, if you like rooting and custom roms, get a 6P. If you like good phones out of the box stock, get the G920F.

VoLTE for Oneplus One

Okay, so it is very clear that the OPO hardware supports VoLTE but Oneplus is too DAMN stubborn to support an Old Flagship and so it isn't releasing any updates for the Oneplus One to enable VoLTE. What I wanted to ask was, is there any ROM currently in development that could enable VoLTE in our beloved OPOs? And if there is already a ROM/Radio flash that could enable it, kindly direct me to it? Too many damn useless Threads with bull**** replies so I prefer that this thread be kept to the point.
Also, yes I live in India and got a JIO sim which requires VoLTE for calls to work. The reason I don't want this to be of interest is because when and if this update arrives, it will affect everyone globally.
BIG Thanks!

This doesn't belong here.
At any rate, the baseband doesn't support VoLTE. It was upsetting to see the final HydrodenOS radios offer up nothing new.

This belongs to the Q&A section.
