Hi
I have a Moto Z which is still going great. I would like to be able to use Android 9 without using third-party Roms. Is it possible to flash the Moto Z2 Force or Moto Z3 Play rom on the Moto Z? The idea is to be included in the regular Motorola upgrades for those phones.
As far as I can see the specs of the Z2 Force are very similar to the Moto Z so the Rom might work.
Thanks for your input.

No.
Sadly it's not as simple as people might think, so to answer your question, no, its not possible.
That's a good question, man!
To be honest, If Moto Z can flash Z2 or Z3 ROMS, less people will buy their Z family models.
The answer: NO! You could not flash Z2 or Z3.

..which is the most popular/best supported by Cyanogenmod devs?
The Moto X has way more custom ROMs than the Z1 Compact but the Z1 Compact became available this January and the Moto X, August 2013. Anyways I'm pretty sure more Z1 Compact ROMs will pop up soon since Sony is a very popular manufacturer. If you're deciding which phone to get, I would suggest you the Z1 Compact.

I think the Sony is a better phone anyway, so that's good news.
Are there any good ways to judge how well supported a phone is/isl likely to be supported on CM, apart from asking around on forums? It would be useful if there was some kind of index based on numbers of recent updates, forums posts etc.
Will Xperia z ultra get upgraded to lollipop?

the question has been asked many times, the answer is we don't know for sure, but probably as the ZU is only a year old and Sony have given kitkat to many older xperia
Xperia z ultra got 4.4.4 before Xperia z
If the Google play edition gets its then for certain it will be easier to port it to the XZU and we wouldn't need to wait so long. I think Sony made a mention that they will only release the latest Lollipop based Stock rom 90days after it is officially released by Google to the consumers.
Hey!
I just got a Z Ultra and was wondering about the current status/likelihood of compatibility with these two things?
1.) PS4- Word seems to be that in the future (hopefully) the ability to play PS4 games using your phone as a screen will be modded to work on other devices besides just the X3. Assuming this is true, is the Z Ultra more likely to receive this functionality more quickly than a non Sony phone?
2.) For those that use Amex Serve Softcard (formerly ISIS), does it work on the Z Ultra? I see that on the compatibility list other Xperia phones are listed but not this one
Thank you!

Have you ever found an answer to your Softcard question? I am not having any luck getting the T-mobile Softcard to work.
I've seen all the press and announcements about the Moto Z2 Force and Moto Z2 Play. Does anyone know if there will be a Moto Z2 in 2017?

A Moto Z2 Force only as a successor.
I am thinking of buying a Moto Z now, I wonder if it has the same functions as the Moto Z2 Droid and if Motorola usually improves this in updates. And do you guys think they'll have any more updates after Android Oreo?
Ok Google with the screen off works in custom roms?
There is already a thread that someone ported some of the new functionality:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/themes/apk-moto-display-moto-x4-t3682701
In general as far as I know Moto Z family is relatively similar, so a lot of things are being moved between devices by developers..
