[Rom] [4.3] Ghost_Retail Enginering Build Flashable Zip - Moto X Android Development

Moto X Flashable ROM zip of TMobile 4.3
engineering build System Dump​
Huge thanks to TheOrangeRemix for posing the original files at XDA.
This is a flashable zip of the system and boot.img for Moto X 4.3.
This is an engineering build so there are extra logging tools and whatnot but it runs smooth.
This is ghost_retail which is for Tmobile so radio may or may not work on other carriers but it will flash on any Moto X.
As always I am not responsible for you eatting cats or ruining your device
Flash in CWM or TWRP. If you have issues when you reboot you may have to factory reset or at least wipe cache and dalvik.

Going to flash this , thanx dhacker. Just one question is the baseband? Can I inject the Rogers radio into this ? and where is it located in the ROM or dies it have to be flashed in fastboot? Coming from an HTC unit and the baseband ( radio) could be flashed in fastboot mode as an update

The baseband is stsored in a seperate partition so the baseband will not be changed by this. If you don't have data you may need to update the build.prop to match rogers and possibly use system/lib/libqmiservices.so and system/lib/libril-qc-qmi-1.so from the rogers build. Chances are since they are both GSM it may work without any changes.

Thank, my HTC phone I could flash different basebands but you had to be s- off to do it. I'll let you know what's happens. Probably a good idea to back up apn's I guess

You can flash radios on the X through fastboot. the fsg.img and NON-0HLOS.img are the radios. I looked in this build and the apns-conf has rogers listed.

---

Can anyone confirm or deny data out of the box for VZW?

---

well thinking no...and if u look at dhacker29's pick thats the vzw baseband

It flashes fine, I get mobile data out of the box on rogers but the only issue I have encountered is navigation home button does absolutely nothing, I suspect it could be that I restored my data and xposed framework messed up system ui. So I'm trying another flash and restore my backed up apps and see if it works
Edit. Navigation home button works now, so you can't restore data from recovery if you installed xposed framework but I guess it would work if you uninstalled xposed and then did a data back up. Oh well, now I have to set everything again

Way slower than the Rogers image, there's so much more bloatware, also the rogers status bar is cleaner, if you use motoxposed module on this the WiFi and data icons over lap. Also getting system ui crash on start up, boot is so much slower, you must realize this is not an official release so it has its bugs.
I would suggest using the rogers image as a base . Back to my back up
Thanks dhacker for your hard work, waiting for some terrific development
Edit: so o reflashed this but a totally clean install and everything is working fine, if you plan on restoring your data I don't recommend it, my system ui problem was caused by xposed framework and motoxposed

That's odd I didn't notice it being slow. And what bloatware? Are you referring to the debug utilities?

A reflash worked like a charm, it was the exposed modules which I reinstalled through ROM toolbox that caused me grief, I just removed all those debugging apks and Google magazine,videos games etc

So this is only working on T-Mobile devices? I'm curious to flash it but I am on sprint.

Any noticeable differences with regards to RF performance? What about the phone in general?

No noticeable difference although it seems I dont receive LTE signal but it could be the icons from the T-Mobile ROM. I will have to check by doing a speed test at a location where I did receive a LTE signal on the Rogers rom
Edit: LTE is available, got a download speed if over 45mb's

Do a back up and test is all I can say can't hurt

what all apps are safe to remove from this built ? anyone have a list ? battery drain is high specially in standby mode, not sure if it's due to this being a test built or those extra apps, I like it so far, but if I can't better battery life will go back to 4.2.2

Yeah I might bite the bullet but my bootloader's still locked. I'm holding out because I want to keep my warranty. BTW I think I read about Rogers pushing an OTA update... Anyone notice anything? My OTA app is disabled so I'm not sure.

Dhacker,
Sent you a hangout msg but not sure if you got it.
This build does flash cleanly on the VZW Droid MAXX Dev Edition and as such I expect it would be fine on the Moto X Dev Edition
For those planning to do the same, please note the following:
Capacitive keys do not presently function. Just like the Moto X, it will have on-screen keys with the hard keys dormant as if they didn't exist. I am working on how to enable them and would appreciate any assistance anyone can offer. This will not affect anyone on the VZW Moto X Dev Edition as they do not have hard keys .
Upon first boot, the phone will be in GSM/LTE mode. This will allow data but WILL NOT ALLOW PHONE CALLS as they are carried on the CDMA network which is disabled by default (this is a Tmobile ROM so that's to be expected).
***Fix: Dial *#*#4636#*#* - Go into Phone Information - Scroll down and change "Set preferred network type" to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). Change nothing else. The phone will disconnect from the network momentarily and switch to emergency only mode for about 20sec. Don't be alarmed, it's just re-registering and attaching itself to the CDMA network. Mine took about 45s-1min to complete the cycle. Subsequent reboots will not require this process unless you wipe your cache.***
build.prop will ID your phone to the world as a TMO Moto X. No real issue here but just be aware of it as it may affect some of your apps.
