Is someone working on a nightly/stable release of CM 11 for the new Moto G? Seeing as the specs are pretty similar to the 2013 version, I'm assuming it shouldn't be too hard to make.
Also, has anyone tested the FALCON CM11 on the Moto G 2014? Any issues?
Will most likely be a port of original G, to support the larger screen, microSD, etc.
Like you said, very similar to original G in specs so shouldn't be too difficult.
Larger screen, but the resolution is the same.
Hello,
Right now I have Galaxy Note N700, the original Note, and I am considering buying the new Moto G.
Do you consider this as an upgrade over my 3 year old phone specs wise?
When I compare it in GSM Arena, they are almost identical except for the processor which is Exynos 4210 for my old Note and Snapdragon 400 for the Moto G. When I google their differences, it seems that the Exynos chip is still more powerful than the Snapdragon 400 but the former is Dual Core 1.4 GHz Cortex A9 while the latter is Quad Core 1.2 GHz Cortex A7.
So is this a worthy upgrade? Because I do not wana buy expensive phones anymore, I will be needing it for call and texts, FB, browsing and some light gaming only.
Thank you!
Buy Moto G Asap!!
Upgrade Your Phone!! Buy Moto G (2nd Gen) cheap price. and smooth than butter. very fast phone. its feel like nexus phone. Moto G is Awsum device. with upgrade Garenty From motorola. Moto G also will get android lemon pie(5.0) on Jan to Feb. :good:

The Asus ZenFone 5 has piqued my interest. More RAM, faster processor, same display, same with MicroSD slot.
Asus Zenfone 5 may not get the Android L update.
What to buy...
I have a get a "cheap phone" and a "expensive Tablet" attitude.

If you are happy with your Note, software is ok and everything els is fine, I would stay on Note
It will probably be an experience upgrade, because the Moto software is very light. I have touchwiz on a Note 10.1 (2014) and the Samsung bloat sucks. That said, my advice is get a first-gen G 16GB model while they are still available cheap. My impression is aside from not having expandable storage, it is a better phone (all same specifications except screen size, but the resolution did not improve). If you are willing to hold-off a bit and wait for a new mid-price phone option, the new Nexus should be out within a month or 2.
It is a worthy upgrade from the original G and the old Note. You will get Android L with this device as well. Read my review here.

Just remember this is a budget phone at $180, when the Note came out it was $800. In any case it's still a better phone because of stock Android and useful Motorola additions. The new Nexus will probably be $400. (I don't think it will be $349 this time).

I have moved from the N7000 to a G and it's great, initially I wanted the bigger screen, but the whole package on the G is faster smoother and generally easier to use, not so much stuff you won't ever use! It also fits in your pocket easily.
At the prices of the G at the moment try it, you will be surprised
I will skip on the original G since I really need the SD Card slot. That is why I am considering Moto G 2014.
I am using SlimKat now on my Note I. It lags but it is acceptable compare to when I flashed a JellyBean stock rom.
What is limiting for me with the G 2014 is the 1GB ram, because right now with my Note, it cannot handle a lot of apps. It will always open a new app and not from where I left it.
e.g.
The Chrome browser is really slow on my Note, not slow because of internet connection but slow because it just lags a lot.
Plays Youtube with stutters.
Facebook after clicking on an external link and returning to FB will start from the top.
I am also looking at Asus Zenfone 5, another value for money device.
I like the specs but there is no dedicated XDA thread for this device. It means no development.
The reason I am still holding on to my GNote and still acceptable for daily use is because there is still few developments happening, I still got Kitkat.
In that case, I would recommend a bigger jump and get a mobile phone with 2GB of ram
At Moto G's price point, do you recommend any other than Asus Zenfone 5?
Hello Moto G (2014) users,
I am thinking about buying a Moto G 2nd Generation (2014) - the dual sim version. I currently have an Acer Liquid E2 Duo... there are some issues with the Acer (photo quality with the 8M camera is the most annoying for me). That's why I would like to kindly ask you: would you prefer anytime a Moto G 2014 (dual sim version) over an Acer Liquid E2 Duo? Is the camera much better? And what about the battery life? Or would you stay with the Acer?
Thanks a lot in advance for your answers!
Conrad
For my moto g 2014 is very nice, battery during one day with WiFi connect, 2 or 3 call é messages...

The camera is good for the price, better than other mid-range phones I've looked at, but also not great. I don't use the camera that much, so it wasn't a priority for me, and I've never used the Acer so I can't make the direct comparison, but if camera quality is your priority, and you don't want to spend the money on a current flagship phone, my advice would be to get an older flagship phone (Like the S4 or LG G2). They aren't the latest and greatest, and you might have to live without the latest Android updates for some (unless you use a custom rom), but you can find good deals, and they'll have better cameras and fast processors than the Moto G.
Equipment which is better regarding software and performance? 4mini or motorbike g second generation?
