Hey guys,
I've just received my new Moto X XT1052. I've just unlocked the bootloader, and am now thinking about what to do. It's currently on Lollipop 5.1
I would like to put either Cyanogenmod 12.1 or Gravity Box onto it, but I can't decide on which one.
Gravity Box is good because it goes over the stock Moto rom, and I'd still be able to have the fun little tweaks that Motorola created for it, such as twist for camera etc...
Cyanogen would be good because it has functions that GB doesn't have, such as long-pressing back to force quit, number of home screens, and a few other things that are missing from GB.
Does anyone know a way of installing Cyanogen but retaining the Moto apps?
Also, do you recommend I stay with Lollipop? Or should I downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.4 (or thereabouts)
Many thanks!!
You cant have both CM and Moto apps.
But Moto Camera Mod can be flashed i think. AC Display can be used as Moto Display. Moto Voice cant be! There are 3rd party apps but nothing can be equal to stock app.
Also I prefer to be on Stock kitkat as the standby was good with it.
stock 4.4.4 +GB works best for me, may be Viper4Android for sound. That's all I need on my Xstock 4.4.4 +GB works best for me, may be Viper4Android for sound. That's all I need on my X
I'm on CM 12.1 now. The only unique Stock-feature what's missing are Voice Commands. "twist" for camera, "chop" for Torchlight, hand wave and pick-up for active display works.
The battery drain seems to be better in the latest nightlies (27/28.10.), but still not what i expect.
KK is no option for me, cause the Holo-design looked really ugly.
Holo-design? My battery life at the moment is terrible, maybe getting 6 hours from one charge?
If active notifications no longer work, how would I be notified since there's no notification light?

Ok, thats really bad. With latest CM 12.1 nightlies I get about 4 hours SoT and about 16 hours mixed use. So it's enough for an average day in my life.

active notifications are available in CM 12.1! It is called Ambient display an has almost the same functions.
Could I get ambient display with cyanogenmod 11?
Thabks for your answers
there are some Apps in the store which promise features like Ambient display, but I haven't testet them. And I never used CM 11.
I have a Developers Edition, XT-1055, US Cellular. It is unlocked and rooted. And running Lollipop 5.1.
Just love it. So much better than Kitkat. Great battery life. No problems, just the annoyance of Lollipop from time to time. Sometimes I have to 'Forget' or is it "Unpair" my BT connection with my speaker, and then pair it again to restore the volume level. And I don't like "improved" feature(s) to set my phone to quiet or vibrate modes. Kitkat was much more intuitive in that aspect.
With TWRP installed, I can do a full backups of the phone.
The phone portion is better/easier to do, but less intuitive; as in easier touch functions but more touches to do a phone call. But the voice commands really scream with Lollipop. Motorola has it right. Recognizes my voice and commands, nearly flawless! So much better that when I was using KitKat. Great with driving. Now, if I could just remember those commands!! LOL!
Good luck with your decision.
I have an XT1053 Developer Edition, unlocked bootloader, TWRP, etc, and I run stock 4.4.4. mainly because of the battery life and the sensitivity of the Active Display feature. My second choice would be Nexus Experience ROM (NX) because it incorporates almost all of the special stock features of the Moto X, and it has a very stock experience. The only reason I don't use it is because the Active Display isn't as sensitive and I have to move the phone more to activate that feature. It's a small thing but I'm very picky. I may get over it and move to NX eventually.
As far as battery life goes, on 4.4.4 I unplug at 7am and by 10:30pm I usually have 50% battery left, sometimes more. However, I'm a Nazi when it comes to keeping unnecessary background processes from hogging power and/or using mobile data. But even when I watch videos and play music carelessly I've never been in the red. I don't even own a car charger. I can't speak about the battery life on NX ROM because I didn't use it that long.
I'm still considering moving to NX as I'm writing this... I may do a fresh backup of 4.4.4 and run NX today to see how it goes.
Edit: Btw, NX ROM for the Moto X 2013 is 5.1.

Hello people i just received the OTA notification, but i'm worried to update, to be honest my phone worked pretty well till today and i'm very satisfied with it, but it's kinda annoying the notification popup , i tried to stop the service as well but it keeps popping out.
Anyways i bought this phone cause it's such a great phone for the price, and cause i knew it was going to get Lollipop update, and now that there is the update i'm kinda conflicted about so many differents comments around the forums, i checked here, some other forums, and on reddit but i couldn't find a proper review of the Pro/Cons to updating the phone to Lollipop 5.0.2 (most of the review i found were of the previous version of L, and i read that 5.0.2 got some major fixes ); so there's anyone that can kindly explain me if it regrets updating the phone, or what are the issues? battery life improvement? i know that it gets a better multitasking, but some people complain that is "sluggish"? also there's anyway to change or remove the white background from the app drawer?
thanks in advance for the help.
I updated my phone more than a month ago. At first the phone seemed sluggish ,as you said, and even after a full wipe things didn't get better. The thing is that after a few days the phone's performance was just as smooth as kitkat for me ( I guess the rom settled ) . Battery life is the same , although lollipop may seem to need more resources at times , and I also installed nova launcher with moonshine icon theme to get rid of the white app drawer background. In a nutshell , the only difference for me is the visuals / new features like ambient display which I happily use. I don't play games on my phone but I listen to music , watch videos on youtube and stay online for a few hours per day switching between apps. The only problem for me is the blurry camera ( which is also an issue on kitkat ) and the lack of actual silent mode.
ps. I would strongly recommend a full wipe before and after installing and disabling apps you dont need from settings in order to save battery and resources. Don't forget to back up everything before wiping / updating
It is worth it. The features and the UI are definitely great, but don't expect any real RAM improvements. Performance-wise, the phone still multitasks like my old Galaxy Y (which had 256mb of RAM), and I only keep WhatsApp on the background.
But hey, it's not any worse than KitKat and it's pretty, so I recommend it.
Agreed.
Material design looks good, performance is the same and so it's battery life (at least in my experience). I am happy with it.
I got the update 4 days ago and haven't had any problems. Is it faster? Hard to tell but it certainly isn't any slower.
Ram management for me is much better, no problems with multitasking, navigating listening to music, surfing the net, still shows 464Mbyte ram free and no restarts. No lag at all on any apps (59) all of which work fine.
Battery performance is in line with what I had on KitKat, which was pretty good, (Don't forget where you put your recharge cable). I have to admit that I am not a power user, (I can get up to 3 days out of one charge) but I use it a lot to record tracks with OruxMaps when I am walking, GPS on and screen off.
I don't use mobile data so have it turned off on all apps that use it, I have a separate mobile router (Much lower cost).
Finally from my experience I would say that updating was worth it, just to get rid of the terrible multitasking that came with KitKat 4.4.4.

I'm running baseband 26a with xdbbeb's rom, everything works just great.
I see so many new Lollipop rom's but last time I updated roms, none of the AOSP one's were as stable as the stock rom.
- is the Lollipop update on Verizon G2 worth getting?
- are the Lollipop AOSP roms good enough now? wr.t. things like data connection, wakelocks, batery life etc
Not quite yet, although very close. I'm new to the G2 scene, and have been out of the loop for about a year and a half while using a non rooted Moto X , but after a weekend of playing with Xenon and a few other AOSP roms on a new vs9800 G2, here's what I see as of today:
There seems to be a data roaming issue (I frequently lose data connection)
GPS doesn't show a "lock" although it seems to work
An occasional random reboot
Tap to wake doesn't work after a reboot, but will start working after I make a call.
I think a few of these are about to be fixed, but can't wait until everything gets sorted out! Not a bad phone, love the screen and it will rock with a stable 5.1.x AOSP rom!
Thanks for replying! I think I'll wait too.
The lollipop update on the Verizon G2 is fine and stable. I don't have "any" problems outside of just normal lollipop changes to notifications, but it works as it should and works great.
AOSP builds on the other hand... I am unsure. It seems there are still a few loose ends, mostly with the Double Tap to Wake being finicky. With a phone designed around that feature, I have steered clear but I have heard that developers found the fix on the AOSP builds and just waiting to release updates.
I have always used AOSP and CM based builds starting with the Nexus One (and owning a long line of Nexus devices). However the LG G2 is great in that the stock LG software is perfect. It has a slight LG feel, but allows lots of customization and features that I just can't reason getting rid of. Of course I get rid of the launcher immediately in lieu of Nova Launcher... but otherwise I LOVE the keyboard (with the dedicated number row), the WiFi Storage options, and the QSlide floating Apps. I really miss the dual-window of the newer LG software. I don't know why the Verizon G2 didn't get Dual Window and Knock Code of the newer software (some versions of LG G2 got these).
Hi guys, this is my first time posting here. Not sure if this is the right place for this thread but here it is.
I have not upgraded my Z3 compact to lollipop yet, but this upgrade seems to have brought great disappointment.
I just want to ask before I do anything I would regret,
Would you recommend people upgrading to the new lollipop? What should I expect?
Thanks guys.
It's really up to your luck and personal preference. I don't regret updating to Lollipop, works fine for me and even fixed one annoying bug - but the usual YMMV applies here, as there are indeed both bugs and drawbacks that affect specific use cases.
the latest one seems better, 23.1.A.1.28, reincluded the great close all button.
Been running on Lollipop since it was released, and I didn't have any major bug (well, before the latest update I had some annoying freezes that rendered everything unresponsive -screen, buttons.. Even a hard reboot didn't work, but its fixed apparently.)
Battery life is still great for me (5-6 hours of SOT), it's smooth and responsive.

I'm especially interested in this for the battery life. In fact, I just bought precisely for this, so if the Z3c running 5.0.2 is worse in battery life than in 4.4.4, I'll prefer to stay in the latter.

I am on 5.0.2.
Yes, I find that the battery life (with same usage) is slightly degraded in 5.0.2 as compared to 4.4.4. I say "slightly" because it still lasts me for 2 days, it's not as if it has reduced to half and is unusable.
Performance wise, I see no lag while playing games, etc.
Battery life isn't that much worse.. But I'm a little bummed about a few things..
1) Removal of a Volume Profile option from the power button menu (it's not available in the Notifications pull down either)
2) Close All Apps button gone from Recent Menu

The close all apps button is back for me in the latest build: 23.1.A.1.28 however the biggest bummer is like you say the volume profile option.
Also with the latest build i'm actually pretty impressed with the battery life however i've only had the phone for about a week so i dont really have much to compare to.
I am still using the kitkat, I would like to know can keep the root update by OTA? Thanks.

Not sure if this was directed at me but i wouldn't be able to tell you as i never really noticed an issue with that in the week of owning the phone. I have actually downgraded to KitKat for the ease of switching between sound modes.
I would recommend updating to Lollipop the new UI looks cool and fluid. Audio problems can be fixed by having root and disabling the Use NUPlayer function found in Developer Options and installing a third-party app like V4A
Call Quality Audio is fine you can tweak the way it sounds in Settings>Call Settings just like in Kitkat
Battery Problem caused by Memory Leak can be fixed by using a certain Xposed Module

I just got my droid turbo about a week ago, and I've since Been hearing about all the battery drainage issues and charging issues, all of the apps I use are compatible with 4.4 KitKat, so I'm a little leery of upgrading because I use my phone a ton and the massive battery was the main reason I got it over an S6, and so if that is negated, is there any reason to upgrade?

My Turbo never had any of the issues others had. Easily get over a day with moderate to heavy use; 2 days with light usage. I'm still on 4.4.4. If you're worried about it, head over to the development section and follow the steps to flash 5.1 without eliminating your option to go back to KitKat.
As is all too common in these forums, those who experience problems go out of their way to publish them, giving the impression that everyone has issues when most, like I, experience none of them. If you are comfortable with the rather detailed (but manageable) process for getting rooted and reversible 5.1, then by all means go that route.
Otherwise, if you are happy with KitKat, don't feel pressured to go to Lollipop. On the other hand, most users (but by no means ever all users) that have taken the OTA upgrade are just fine with the results, with comparable battery life and improved performance in some functions.
Most users have reported that wiping cache solves their performance and battery issues. In your case, I would recommend a full wipe after the upgrade, ask around and you'll find that full wipe after update has almost 99.9% success rate.
So today was my first day being on rooted 5.1.
I unplugged at about 11am, and am now hitting 10% battery 9 hours later. That should suck right?
Well I also wanted to drain my battery today so I just let my phone stream video (plex library ftw) at max brightness.. 8 hours of straight screen on time...
I think in a normal usage day (where Im not trying to kill the battery) I clock 2-3 hours of on screen time...
So if we extrapolate that out, I'm just guessing... I would've made it 20-30 hours of battery at my normal usage.
Is that good? Dunno. No worse than when I was on rooted KK.. perhaps, I think, even better?
I also dirty flashed 5.1 over my 4.4.4.. never wiped cache or FDR.
Hearing that, its up to you to decide what to do, for me I'm sticking with rooted 5.1 and couldn't be happier.

Computerfreek released his image early this morning: Thread
Working from home has its benefits.
EDIT: I am surprised Droid-life or no other outlet has really picked up on this yet.
Well, if you can root 5.1, then there's are no cons to upgrading really. You can have customisation as well as the new user experience.

Well if you go to the threads you'll see the root method requires 4..4.4 boatloader.. so taking the official update overwrites the bootloader to 5.1 and at that point there is no going back.
So for the average user, taking the upgrade is a major deal.. for those that don't mind some adb/fastboot work.. absolutely, go back and forth from KK to LP everyday! Just dont touch that 4.4.4 bootloader.
Thanks for the update. It makes sense now. We not talking upgrade vs staying on 4.4.4 we are talking upgrade path.
I see, I am still looking forward to finding a way to upgrade my xt1225 to 5.1 without data wipe, but so far there is nothing for us, no OTA or images yet. No upgrade path in sight
No. You would going from best to OK.
I upgraded to 5.1 and for me it was a mistake. My most valuable app (Record My Call) doesn't work with 5.1 and no other similar app will work either. I'm going to buy another another Droid Turbo on KitKat and sell my 5.1.

I updated both my and my wife's DT via the OTA. We didn't have root before and I simply haven't needed it, so I figured I'd just go ahead (if anything went wrong, I would have to harass Verizon, but so be it). In the end, both phones are working well (knock on wood)... and I didn't do the cache or factory reset either. Battery life is fine, even with some gaming... so it might be better than KK was, but it's certainly not worse for me.

I did a quick search and the recommended app was BoldBeast Recorder. I just tried it with a standard voice call (not GV) I had with my wife (outgoing if it matters) and it worked just fine in Mode 1. After the install, it defaulted to Mode 4 and didn't work, so i was going to start with Mode 1 and go from there... but it just worked there, so i didn't have to go further. To recap, I'm on the OTA updated Lollipop... no factory reset and no cache wipe.

In mode 1 it records the call but like every app I've tried after the update to Lollipop it's using the microphone to record the call. My voice is loud and clear but the other person's voice is very faint or not heard at all. Did you get different results? Before the update "Record My Call" worked perfectly, it recorded the actually conversation somehow without using the mic.
Thanks,

I did find my voice was a little louder, but my wife's was perfectly audible. Both required me to turn the volume up, but they worked fine and both were clear...
Maybe another mode would work better, but this was fine for my limited usage.
So I read these complaints and have decided to opt out of the upgrade to Lollipop on my Droid Turbo. When the upgrade notification screen came up, I just put no, and I haven't gotten a notification since. It's been a few weeks for me. A few other people in my family have the same phone. Unfortunately when they click "no" they seems to get the upgrade prompt again a few days later. I'm not sure why the prompt hasn't come up for me again.
Is there a way to stop the upgrade notification prompt for showing up repeatedly without root? I know that there are apps on a rooted system that can prevent the notification. I'm hoping there's a way to prevent it without root. Thanks for any info!

I tried all modes and mode 1 seems best. I tried many apps that use the microphone and they are all about the same. They work OK if you are in a quite area but a noisy environment or step outside when the wind is blowing and the microphone recorders don't work well at all, not for me. I'm watching Ebay and Craigslist for one still on Lollipop. 64GB models are bringing around $400 no matter which OS they are on. Mine should bring about the same amount that I pay for one with KitKat so hopefully it won't cost much to correct my mistake of upgrading.

The title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for a super stable ROM with good battery life. Which do I choose?
I have a short list of things I need:
Lollipop or Marshmallow
Debloated
Good battery life
Stable
Bluetooth
I don't care about camera quality (though the camera should work if I want to use it...) so I am open to the idea of using an AOSP ROM if it can meet my requirements.
I'm using SLiM ROM version 4.8 (Android 5.1.1) right now and have a few problems with it:
If I reboot, I typically get stuck in a bootloop until I enter recovery and format the cache. Then it takes 10-15 minutes to start up.
I use Google Keyboard which can be very sluggish sometimes (not sure if that's the keyboard's fault or if it's the phone).
The stock camera app and snapchat both crash when I attempt to record video. This is usually fixed by a reboot... but only temporarily.
Sometimes I don't get notifications from Hangouts or the notifications are delayed (not sure if this is a problem with Hangouts or the phone)
Is there an updated SLiM ROM that's more stable? Or should I look for something different? I really liked using AOSP ROMs on my old phones but they typically lacked decent battery life.

T'es there is SLIMM 3.1 on the forum. It's MM for mashmallow
I am running a stock ROM and hangouts doesn't send notifications for me either. It has nothing to do with your setup. I've tried hangouts on 3 different devices (2 HTC's and a Sony) and something has always not worked with that app on all those devices. Google needs to get their act together.
Try Sony Concept ROM, it is on Marshmallow therefore it has Doze and it is as stock as it can get which means it is debloated. Battery life is superb, no bloatware, camera is as good as stock, one of the most stable ROMs out there! Also it is still receiving OTA updates and becoming more and more efficient. As for the video recording bug in your Lollipop ROM, it persists in this Concept ROM I'm talking about. But you can fix it by renaming these files in /system/etc/firmware/
tzwidevine.b00 -> tzwidevine.b00.bak
tzwidevine.b01 -> tzwidevine.b01.bak
tzwidevine.b02 -> tzwidevine.b02.bak
tzwidevine.b03 -> tzwidevine.b03.bak
tzwidevine.mdt -> tzwidevine.mdt.bak
This works for KitKat (yes KK has that issue too, along with "There was a problem while playing... etc." error in YouTube), Lollipop and Concept ROMs.

If you are going to try the SLIMM 3.1, do 2 things to maintain good daily battery life:
1) Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Charging Optimization: This is ON by default - you may notice less battery daily. This feature tries to maintain better battery life over the long run (i.e. battery lasts for more years). You can turn this feature off.
2) Location: Only turn this on when it's needed. Some users (including myself) noticed Google Play Services was draining battery randomly while Location was on.
I can see that there is a new SLIMM 3.2 out - I don't know if it addresses either of these 2 issues. Good luck!
