I guess that would help haha. I'm a little confused on it. I bought it new in box from a carrier as a Motorola Moto X. It's a first gen. The phone says it is a Moto X in the info part of settings. However, when connected to a computer, it says XT1039, which seems to be a Moto G.
I plan to start with first gen Moto X.
This may be fine, the phone is old enough it no longer connects to networks (US CDMA phone...). I am primarily looking to use this as a learning experience before getting real with my current phone. I guess it will be my own proof of concept 🤔
Ya, that is what it seems. I was trying to avoid that for my first time but maybe this won't be the phone to do it with. I'll look at XDA forums.
That is for the help 🙂
I've got a 2013 MotoX, and it's been many a moon, but I'm pretty sure I was able to get LineageOS onto it. It's a small, thin phone with voice recognition built in. Quite distinct looking from any Moto Gs we've bought. Took Motorola forever to port Android M to it, and then the port was actually really shitty, so it was nice to eventually find a port.
I think I found the good version on xda. OTOH, I don't think it was a cdma phone. I think the one I had supported LTE
