[Q] Moto G 2014 Custom ROMS - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Its high time that developers start making custom ROMS for Moto G 2014 XT1068 Dual-SIM. Can someone port the ROMS from Moto G 2013 to Moto G 2014 edition?​

I'm not a developer, AFAIK, the internal components of both Moto G versions are almost equal, so it shouldn't be hard to port from one device to another. I'll get mine on my birthday (Oct 31) and I hope there are at least some start to custom rom development till there
Good luck for us!

Custom roms can come only come if motolola releases its kernel sources

Is this phone overclockable?

Do we know when will Motorola release the kernel souces ?
Does anyone knows how long did it take to Motorola to release the first Moto G kernel sources after they launched the phone ?

For moto g 1st gen kernel sources were released after 2 months
So i think it might released after moto g updated to android L

yes , i have been looking for custom ROM s for my moto G 2nd gen , also ,hope it comes out soon , this is my first android phone ,

With Xposed and Gravity Box (KK) module, I don't really need a custom rom. That may change when custom roms are the only way to get Android updates.

I heard a lot about this Xposed module... When I installed it, it didn't reach the pleasure or customizations of a custom ROM :/

I have bad experiences with Xposed (it slows down everything in every phone I ever had)
Custom ROMs are better IMO, better battery, better performance, and no Xposed crap around

I'm also looking for Custom Roms for my phone and I am ready to be the tester for the ROMS

Hi guys, do we have now further information about when will Motorola release the kernel sources ?

I used this method from XposedGeek: http://www.xposedgeek.net/2014/09/root-motorola-moto-g2-titan-2nd-gen-2014.html
Worked perfectly on my Moto G 2nd Gen (Dual Sim)

I have no Idea if there is any way to tell if you've unlocked the Bootloader on the device itself, but the fact remains that Motorola now knows that you requested an unlock-code, and those are made per device, so they can check up on it.
Most phone-stores won't bother asking Motorola though, so I think you might be able to get a phone replaced under warranty. Take this with a grain of salt though

Hi Guys,
My Moto G 2014 is on the way so I decided I will get started on the XDA Community
I have done pretty much everything with my current phone like S-OFF, custom recovery, custom radio, tons of ROMs etc.
AFA I see the unlock process is pretty standard, and since it's official from Motorola, it should work with dual sim versions. I don't think motorolla devices need S-OFF. So only the issue of custom ROMs remain. While I see complete guides for Moto G 2014 root and custom recovery, I cannot find many ROMs that seem to be compatible with the Dual Sim version.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Specifically, I am looking for kernels that allow overclock and support the Dual Sim version. Android L update is promised by motorolla, so a ROM providing just this will do for me.

Find devs for 2nd boot cm10 romw

i had a motorola defy with locked bootloader. There were no hope for updates and for custom roms. Till dev (quarx) did it. Now defy has jelly bean (cm10). Lets search for devs and make a donation app, so they can buy our phone add develop one great rom.
Great idea, but do we have enough people? No one will buy the phone if we can donate only ~100€
well, not to develop ROM, but better to sacrifice their/his phone to try unlocking bootloader..

Yes it will...well at least for a custom kernel i think. Still, drivers have to come from Nvidia. And everyone knows about their reputation when it comes providing open source codes and such.

incorrect, i made the Sense custom for Defy way before even CM9 was invented, but correct 2nd-init was working already then and no none really spend much investigating how to use it early on, but that was probably 1yr+ ago.

i did mine in feb.2011 , Quarx did his first post of cm7 in april 2011, i do not know if that helps your memory. (i did check all his post on the topic) . I strongely believe i was utilizing 2ndinit on defy on a customrom, and i was introducing it here on o4x for now.
but to stay on topic, no one seems to have faith in a CM10 for O4X here, i tried to port, but that never went well, and compiling only helps so far as the ril driver is documented by LG here.
but the rest should be straight forward, since we share chipset with OneX which got quite far now.
btw,
i did post my CM10 rom as nandroid backup using 2nd init , so your request is already existing on o4x, just not with a phone functionality.

I have downloaded the file and it is .zip file .. It has two files that are kernel and platform files >> Good news
Now, I can see all the files for our O4X and everything is clear . We can make modification for it and install it by CWM
I hope you guys all the best with development . The kernel file has the drivers for our O4X

IMHO
As long as the kernel is not signed u cant really use it. i dont remember anyone using 2nd init on milestone for a custom kernel.
they actually just adapted CM for the old kernels wich is a lot of work i think... And that could be done for our 4xHD as well the problem is
actually that u need the devs for it.
And i think no dev really wants 2 work on a standart phone unless he has it and really wants to keep it and mod on it.

[Q] Stock vs Custom Roms

Is anyone running an custom roms like AOKP, CM, PACROM, etc? Or are people just running stock? I have been running stock w/xposed since I have got the phone but was curious if people were using other roms.

Don't find any point in using custom roms. I wouldn't have bought Moto X if I dindn't prefer its special functions. Rooted Moto X , customized and clean of bloatware is the right thing. Not to mention that all Moto X custom roms lack proper basic functionality one way or the other.

This is the moto x section. There's no external card on an X and it never had ICS either.

Bringing up issues from a ROM on a completely different device helps no one. ROM problems vary with each device. In other words: your not helping.

Yes, you're comparing apples to car tires. Issues another device has on whatever rom has nothing at all to do with a different device. Especially comparing different android versions even.

Nice! I suggest you flash the stock rom back to your Corolla, then it will probably start up just fine!!! If that doesn't work, maybe try the procedures in the "de-bricking" thread.

Kryptonite 4.4.4 Rom

Where are all the Roms?

Hey guys, I just purchased my custom PURE edition Moto X on the Cyber Monday deal and anxiously awaiting it. I was browsing the Development threads and noticed there isn't anything out there for Roms, why is that? The bootloader is unlockable and root is possible, is there a reason devs haven't been attracted to the Moto X or created any roms?
Usually requires source code or a port of some kind to get the roms started. Hopefully a Dev gets them rolling soon.
Does Motorola not release the source code?
And another reason is that with the factory Motorola tweaks, this phone really doesn't need any Roms. Root, yes. If exposed were updated to work with ART, then perfection! Motorola x 2013 really had very few Roms. Many of us like it the way it is.

Part of what makes this phone so nice are the added features that Motorola implemented, is moto display, moto voice... You'd lose those in a custom ROM. It's already running stock android so I really don't see the need anyway. I'm keeping mine on KitKat so I can use xposed, so as far as I'm concerned mine is running the best software possible- stock android + moto features + all the customization I want from xposed. It's glorious.
I used to love flashing custom ROMs when I owned a Samsung device. It was the only way to unlock their hardware's true potential. Douchwiz was always a laggy mess, not to mention it looks like something right out of the 90's. After owning the original X, I went through flashing withdrawal. Now, with the new X, I feel that flashing a custom ROM simply isn't necessary. It's fast, had features I use, and makes me happy.

Couldn't agree more. Just got my device yesterday. Don't feel the need to flash anything yet
There are a few tweaks and customizations I like from some Roms. Once Xposed gets compatible there probably won't be a real need for custom ROM's
I really like what the moto x has on offer

I'd imagine that AOSP based ROMs would not be able to utilize the Moto X-clusive (cwutididthar??) features but ones based on the stock software could. Though I'm no dev so really I am just repeating things I've read by people more knowledgeable than I. Historically speaking, AOSP ROMs never have OEM exclusive features so I'd imagine the X would be no different.
Now back to the original question, considering that the only version of the X that even could flash a custom ROM is the Pure, and unfortunately the X just isn't a popular phone (which is a damn crime because it is easily the best phone available at the moment all things considered), I don't think we will ever see much development for it. But that doesn't bother me at all- I'm still on 4.4.4 with Xposed, and I am perfectly happy keeping it that way until I buy my next phone.

Will this phone get root and CM14.1 ?

Curious if LG G6 will eventually get root, and custom recovery to allow for Lineage 14.1 ROM ?
It will not.
Ouch that sucks I was hoping the G6 would eventually get root and then ROM's, like the G5 did. Oh well, not using this phone then

The boot loader is already unlocked so this phone will probably get root. CM is dead though so no chance of that. However it may get some custom roms.

He means LineageOS 14.1 which is not dead. Heck my old ass Samsung Galaxy Note Pro is running LineageOS 14.1 so never say never when it comes to LineageOS. My Note Pro was about to be recycled until LineageOS 14.1. It feels like a new tablet now. I would love it on my G6!!!

You guys / gals are angels from heaven to work on this. Thank you
I still think the best bang for the buck phone out for 2017 is the LG G6, selling for like $499 now, and soon with Root and official CM14.1 ( Lineage ROM ), it's the phone to beat for the price. The G6 running official Cyanogen ROM for $499, I'm all over that. Will be a super cool phone. Plus it's IP68 waterproof, and has wireless charging, and is also very one handed friendly for a 5.7" device. This phone with AOSP ROM = nerds wetdream

Apparently the intl model's bootloader does not have all the fastboot commands stripped out like our tmo model :|
This makes theirs much easier to twrp/root.
So we just need a recovery and rom if we can unlock our bootloaders already ?
I saw this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634759622 looking around, I am not the dev of this nor have any part or take any credit on this. I just think this is a little weird I haven't seen nothing around here unless that's the same rom posted in the development thread, But by a different dev?

I saw this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634759622 looking around, I am not the dev of this nor have any part or take any credit on this. I just think this is a little weird I haven't seen nothing around here unless that's the same rom posted in the development thread, But by a different dev?

Yes, but there is no way to install twrp quite yet. To the best of my knowledge they devs basically have it, but they have to refine it an d make it user friendly so we aren't all bricking our phones

I've rooted every one of my phones since the OG Droid. Oddly enough, I'm really not missing root much for this phone- was originally hanging on the edge of my seat for it. As I've been living with it through the last few weeks, though, I don't think about it much. If it does get root, I'll probably do it- but this is the first time I think it won't matter that much. I'm really enjoying this phone (my first LG).
Cheers!

Don't quote me but the official unlock is just like it was on g5. But boorloader unlock still works for g5 and g6 just not an "official" unlock
Really hoping that they do this soon. The phone was fantastic for the first couple of weeks then the anticipated happened, as has been my experience with all carrier ROMs. It starts to get sluggish, battery life gets crap (I was getting 6+hours SOT, now lucky to get 4), and phone is generally becoming slower.
Like many, I don't need crazy fancy ROMs, the G6 is surprisingly nice in stock format. Just want a clean, light, optimized ROM/kernel without all the TMobile crap they think people like.

Port RR to Qualcomm

Would it be possible for someone to Port the MTK Moto E4 plus RR rom to Qualcomm? I'm in need of a stable rom and the Lineage rom for Qualcomm has no sound or cdma (I think) at the moment.

It would be difficult since both CPUs are built by different manufacturers and running at different frequencies. If you're having problems with lineageos then flash the official rom. I hope you made a backup of the official rom before you flashed lineageos.

Yes of course, I restored my backup because the lineage rom has no sound which is a huge annoyance for me.

Well I'm afraid there isn't much u can do here. You can either wait for someone to release a good custom rom for the Qualcomm variant or maybe learn how to make your own custom rom. But it will take a long time and expect alot of bugs.

Lol, it really wouldn't take a long time. RR is based off LineageOS. It's just a matter of changing a few things in a few files. I could have a build done in less than 2 hrs. You shouldn't spread misinformation like that.

I'm not spreading misinformation, I said that it would take a long time if he was new to coding and custom roms but if he already knows what he's doing then it's not that big of a deal.

Ok, but what you said was it would be difficult and take a long time. The question wasn't asking how hard it would to build RR for the Qualcomm version themselves. But, anyway...

I'll do a build and hopefully get sound working. I have Boost and have been trying to get lte working in the E4, if I can get it on that I can get it on the Plus. Sound shouldn't be too hard to fix.
