[ROM Idea/Reqyest] Porting Moto G stock Rom to Nexus4 - Nexus 4 General

Hello,
I have been in touch with many moto g users and software development team behind moto g who did a tremendous job making the very awesome aosp android pure look stock rom with maximum optimization with respect to performance and battery life.
It is the only stock rom ever made in history with maximum optimizations and tweaks to perform the best and better battery backup optimization.
I hope if we could port this pretty neat and awesome ROM to our beloved Nexus4 coz nexus deserves better.
I request all developers to take a look into it and discuss the possibilities and complications if any for this great innovative step in Nexus development.
I hope majority of nexus users support this initiative.
Looking forward with a positive hope.

Moto g it's really optimized but if someone port it, it will not be to fast like the moto g

Why not moto x stock rom instead? I think its more near to the nexus 4 platform

True the moto g is 2 core, the x4+1?for its commands. May be wrong. It's a while back when I studied in my fiance lives there and I wanted her to get me an off contact custom one. What's wrong with the nexus 4 set up properly? You can get the moto qualcom code /bionic and Dalvic ? Mine hits 22000 on antutu. The battery is great with matrix and undervolting. The display is better on the nexus and that's what eats the 'tree.
The real thing that needs to happen is this "phone anorexia " ending. I'd rather have a 3mill thicker phone with a proper tree inside

Nexus 4 screen vs optimus g screen

First of all I have understood that these 2 phones have THE EXACT SAME SCREEN(Same LCD PANEL), so...
I just got an Optimus G and I notice that the screen looks WAAAAAAY BETTER than my Nexus 4, even tho I have flashed franco kernel and tried different gamma settings on the Nexus 4, the Optimus G screen just looks better, colors look less washed out, the contrast is just better, and that Optimus G is already rooted and running an AOSP ROM with custom kernel so, I dont understand why is the difference so big, shouldn't they look exactly the same or almost identical?
And the important question is this, IF these 2 phones have the exact same panel, it means I can make the Nexus 4 screen color profile EXACTLY like the Optimus G, but hey changing different Gamma values hasn't helped at all, no matter what gamma or rgb configuration, it doesn't even come close to how good the optimus g looks, before getting this optimus G I swore the Nexus 4 screen was good but now its total crap to my eyes, SINCE I HAVE BOTH DEVICES, I would like to know HOW DO I GET THE COLOR PROFILE OUT FROM MY OPTIMUS G, AND HOW TO APPLY IT TO THE NEXUS 4 to see if I can make them look the same...
PS:
1.My Nexus 4 screen is perfectly fine, its not damaged or anything, believe me the optimus g just looks better its no mistake or factory issue.
2. Dont ask why I got the optimus G I just wanted to get it.
3. IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE OPTIMUS G, NOT THE OPTIMUS G PRO.
I've been trying to figure that out also. My gf had the optima and I the nexus. Love my nexus, but her screen is amazing. Mine is just blah.....
Side by side you can actually tell that the optimus g has a sharper image with more clearly defined images and vivid colors. No matter what I do with the nexus it never really compares....
Maybe the curved glass has something to do with it?

I can't vouch for the optimus g but I'd say this screen is pretty sharp. I had the HTC one x before hand and this phone nearly reminds me of it. I prefer the natural colors of this screen over other companies choices like Samsung.

im just saying to try the profiles instead of messing with the settings
Tried all the profiles, they all suck compared to the optimus G screen

the optimus g has a better display (though i may be wrong, i will have to go check my old optimus g that i gave my sister), and it also has a much better speaker on the back
though the nexus 4 speaker is decent, depends on certain songs, its tinny vs the beastly optimus g speaker which is ridiculously loud, louder than my htc one

franco kernel + his recommended values + (misc gamm settings 'saturation: 7')
= GOD MODE
* stock android = doesnt make displays that impressive, flash stock on htc one x, it doesnt look anywhere near impressive as sense
but the nexus 4 has a really good display, viewing angles withstanding
Yeah try a sock android ROM on the og then compare it to your nexus

I use faux123 stock enhanced kernel and faux123 Kernel Enhancement Project.Under screen tab i chose kwerdenker_natural color preset and for brightness I use velis autobrightness.Belive me....with these settings retina display form iPhone 5 looks like crap.I bought my phone from U.K. Maybe is also the building quality difference.A year ago i owned two Sony Xperia S.One bought from Romania and the other from UK.There were big quality differences between the two phones.One of them had a problem at the screen(that one bought from Romania).The colors were washed and the brightness wasn`t the same.
This isn't totally true, I have the optimus g and did the nexus 4 conversion the colors are just different. Cuz my coworkers have the G and the whites are amazing, the nexus colors are just yellow for some reason

I had the Optimus G before I bought the Nexus 4. I bought the LG OG first because it has more memory. But I had a lot of BSOD on my OG with CM10.1 official and the camera isn't what I had expected. Now to the point, the screens or panels are not the same. If the OG is switched off the screen is totally black and you cannot see the dots which I see always on my Nexus 4 if it is switched off. If you like CyanogenMod like me than you have to have a Nexus phone. These are really working without a glitch on CM.

Moto Nexus 5 is coming

Well guys how do you feel about it I was hoping either HTC or moto got it this year. With that said I really do love the nexus 4 design I just hope the next nexus wows me. But I also loved the galaxy nexus too.

Afraid of what CPU they'd put in it. If its Qualcomm, there might be problems with it being open with the Nexus 7 2013 fiasco with JBQ leaving AOSP etc.
I would think either a snap 800 or something like the moto x and the features become standard android in key lime. The funny thing is I hated leaving amoled now I dread going back.

Thats the thing, I want a Snapdragon 800 but I don't want it if the factory images aren't going to be released as well as the GPU drivers. Thats the reason why Nexus 7 still doesn't have factory images available (or binaries).

Its not a true Nexus device if those files are missing. Yeah... I really do like the IPS screen. I think they're going back to Super AMOLED if its amde by Motorola. Its a bummer that LG G2 isn't the base of the Nexus 5. LG screens are amazing.
Maybe a LG G2 Google Play Edition inbound?
I think I see what Google is doing the moto x will probably be almost free on contract by the time nexus 5 is out and new nexus will probably be rock solid design and since everyone is fine paying 600 dollars for Google play editions phones new nexus will probably be 499 or 450

So the back looks like the N4, except for the colored X.
And I have to admit, when I saw the N4 on pictures, I knew I wanna have it.
But I am missing that feeling with the Moto X

No I want the LG nexus. Really liked LG G2 specs
Title of this thread is wrong. If Motorola is making a Nexus phone it would be based on their 4 inch screens thus it would be the new Nexus 4 (not Nexus 5). I could see LG making a Nexus 5 based on the G2 and perhaps Motorola making a Nexus 4 based on the Moto X.

Me too. There must be some prototypes already since there ain't so many months left for the proposed release. They can't just make up something in short period of time.
My money is on Motorola, sadly. They have now that thing going on with their manufacturing plants and everything so logistics and all would be so much easier in US.
Still, LG with G2 specs would have been much better choice.

Um no? The nexus device is usually a international unlocked phone so their factory is strictly for the moto x since it is a us exclusive plus it cost more to make it here so the phone should cost more. The lg G2 is nice but it's not all about specs

No way we get two nexus phones and that doesn't make sense one phone to lead the direction of android. Seeing the moto x features and key lime pie around the way I this all makes sense. Now what probably will still do is sell the nexus 4 from lg and maybe 250 for a 16gb. Its not like nexus specs are even dated yet.

[DISCUSSION][CM] Project Nemesis

So guys I don't know how many of you are CM fans, I know that since I had my first Droid X I kept hearing things about CM, as time passed I learned the beauty of flashing Roms to our loved phones and getting the best out of them, CM has always kept me amazed with all the improvements they have made to this beautiful platform, so changes very deep inside for us to know, but now there´s a new project, PROJECT NEMESIS, I've been waiting for its release like a kid waiting for christmas :laugh: , my hopes are very high and I´d like to hear your ideas of what all this could be! :fingers-crossed:

Good luck with that. The market share for 'cyanogen messaging' would be very slim. Chances of meeting someone with that service would be slim.
It would idealistically have to be a app within its own similar to Kik or WhatsApp.
as far as im concerned CM sucks big time. supporting too many devices right now. which really puts a halt to developing new apps/ideas or introducing new freatures.
Really? They just released focal and voice+ and now they're doing cm account to find or lock a lost phone. Those apps/ideas seem pretty new. Plus color and gamma settings. What more do you want?

I really wish that we get Zoe Mode like camera functionality in camera. That's really a killer feature...

Moto x future proof ?

I want to buy moto x and am wondering with although fantastic x8 processor does moto x is future proof for at least 2 years? Or should I go for nexus 5 which is more future proof? How about touchless control? One of the main factors I am buying is because of that

May i know what you mean by FUTURE PROOF?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Some people still use 3 or 4 year old devices. My S2 still works fine.
If you're a hardcore cutting edge gamer....then you'll maybe need a phone every year or less....but the moto x can do anything any other device can do now, and probably still will 3 years from now.
But ultimately its your research and decision that matters, not any of us. We all have different needs and expectations.
Motorola will probably keep the software updated until Jan/Feb 2015. After that, who knows?

I agree with @nijom, define "future proof".. The X is as "future proof" as any other android device where the carrier has the final say in the updates being pushed to the device.
Unless you get a developer edition X which can be bootloader unlocked, and you can flash custom roms to it. Although options for 3rd party roms are relatively few at the moment, and you'd lose the Moto specific features which make the X so popular.

Phone upgrade?

Anyone thought about upgrading yet from their moto x? Mainly due to battery life and camera I'm looking at options. Galaxy s7 and Nexus 6p look good , is the Nexus 6p enough of an upgrade?

Hi. Beside de nexus, what other options you recommend? What about a Moto x play? The x style I don't think so because its size.

I think lenovo has ruined Motorola their devices after ours will have poor updates and aren't as well rounded .....saying that I'm holding out another year, this device still runs great it's snappy and can do anything I throw at it , plus running the stock+ rom I've installed many Android N features through xposed so I'm not missing out
