Yeah. I want to install Cyanogenmod on my phone, a T-Mobile Moto X. But their wiki page for this device[1] lists only nightly builds, no stable builds whatsoever. I'm sorry, I'm not going to install an automated nightly onto my phone.

Their installation instructions are pretty worthless as well, as they're clearly built from a template with the device name swapped in.

Shambles.

If you're serious about wanting to install CM (or another distribution) on your device I'd first read through the relevant development thread on the forum or mailing list used for the distribution. This is where you'll find out which version to install, which problems you're likely to encounter and - if you're lucky - even ways to solve those problems. You'll find loads and loads of opinionated posts by people who often don't have a clue what they're talking about but that should come as no surprise given the subject matter and the medium. There'll probably be some good posts by the original developer(s) and a core of knowledgeable people, just focus on those and ignore the noise.

For the Motorola X you could have a look at the relevant XDA forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x), there might be something worth your while there. Not having one of those devices I can't tell.


Just look at the last few pages in the XDA development forum for the ROM you're trying to install to figure out which NIGHTLY is the most STABLE. :/ You shouldn't run into very many issues.


It takes time for a stable build to be released. Be patient or help out.
