Hi,
The Bluetooth A2DP stuttering bug on Lollipop is unacceptable, and I have heard that KitKat users did not have the same problem.
Is there a compatible KitKat 4.4.4 factory image that I can use to downgrade my XT1072?
Cheers,
Sunkai.
Having looked into ROMs a bit further, I am now targeting getting CM11 installed on my Thea device.
This would not only eliminate the Bluetooth A2DP stuttering, but also remove the infuriating "increasing ringtone volume" setting that is baked into the factory image by Motorola.
Has anyone got CM11 running on their Thea device? I couldn't find an official build on the CyanogenMod web site.
Thea was never released with KitKat as far as I know, so finding a ROM would be unlikely, tbh.
I can't recommend the AOSP build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2015/development/rom-android-source-project-t3141139) enough, smoother than stock, no launcher redraws and no bluetooth issues for me (I use my bluetooth speaker every day for an hour or two).
The ringtone also doesn't increase, highly recommended with TK stock Gapps, basically turning your Thea into a mini Nexus.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will trial the ROM and let you know if it has fixed my BT issue.
With system storage space being such a concern on the 8GB Thea devices, does the AOSP build's "Move To SD" function work for relocating apps?

Yes AOSP does let you move apps, in fact I think it lets you move more of them. But as TK Gapps installs all the stock Google apps to the /system partition, I've ended up with a bit more free space on my device. Obv YMMV, but give it a go.

My initial impression is good. I have not encountered the extreme Bluetooth A2DP skipping that I experienced with the factory 5.0.2 LL image. It is unpredictable, and can take some time to manifest though, so if it does occur I'll report back here.
I wouldn't expect to get OTA updates for a custom ROM, so I assume that I will need to use TWRP to install any subsequent Android versions?
If I do this, will I lose all of my installed apps and data, as with the initial AOSP load?
Also, will I need to side load the TK stock Gapps to keep them up to date?
Thanks for your advice.

No, you won't get OTAs. You will flash updates to your phone the same way you just did, via TWRP. keep an eye on the thread for update notifications and changelogs from the devs. Don't flash different ROMs over each other without a factory reset, or a "full wipe".
When updating a ROM you will only flash the update and NOT need to factory reset, that way you retain your data. Clearing the cache partition can help with initial crashes or problems you incur afterwards.
Yes, you can load the gapps and keep them up to date if you wish, TK's generally see updates on weekends. This is however optional and totally dependent on you bandwidth availability etc.
I generally just download and reflash one gapps package. Until there is a big change in the Gapps, then I'll update mine. Check the relevant thread for more flashing instructions.
Hope it helps. Also, backups in TWRP are a good thing to have.

Maybe useful to note here, that I got my moto g 2nd gen xt1072 with kitkat loaded on it.
Bluetooth stuttering not occurring at all, it started with lollipop
So the stock kitkat rom must exist !
Can I install Lollipop or Marshmallow stock on this device? And it'd run smooth or it's better to use other ROMs?
Nothing? No ROM images?? Come on!
There is NO stock KitKat ROM for thea (XT1072,XT1077,XT1078,XT1079).
Lollipop update was a huge one with deep changes and I don't recommend downgrading a device to an earlier version that the one it was sold with.
On other devices, the bootloader is not compatible and downgrading can brick the device.
According to these reports, it seems KitKat custom roms can be installed but it is not recommended !
As Thea doesn't have any kitkat rom, I suppose you took it from titan ? (Titan = no-4G variant)
Don't forget that Thea (XT107x) is a DIFFERENT device than Titan (XT106x,I think).
It doesn't only add 4g, it has a different Soc (different processor...), a different battery. So Titan ROMs are not compatible with Thea. End of the line.
Some may work, but are not made for it.
Flashing a titan ROM on thea is just like flashing a galaxy S6 ROM onto a Sony xperia Z3. They are different devices.

Yes you can. But prefer roms like Cyanogenmod it's clean you install gapps (any version you want).
It's far better than stock ones

there is no stock kitkat and also no cm11 for this phone!

This link a picture of the moto g 2nd gen without LTE
The variant without LTE can be downgraded to KitKat because it was released with KitKat.
The variant with LTE was released with lollipop and CAN'T be downgraded to KitKat.

Not possible. Although Titan and Thea share the same board, bootloader restrictions and source tree changes will not allow you to boot CM11 or any KitKat code, let alone a full ROM. Try CyanogenMod 12.1 or 13 instead, although you have to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP. It has many improvements over stock Android without losing stability and even gaining some speed. Also most CM kernels for Titan will work in Thea as well. I am currently running CM12.1 snapshot and it's butter smooth with zero bugs.

They are variants of the same motherboard AFAIK, same camera, same CPU and GPU and resolution, same SD unit, but on the bootloader and RIL level they are fully different. Some kernels can be cross-flashed, and even some Titan recoveries boot on Thea (although a very bad idea with zero good results) ROMs must be adapted to the full board and cannot be cross-flashed.
Hello everyone,
I've always liked CM and the different features it offers, so I was planning to flash latest Snapshot since I would like to use it as my daily driver. What's your experience with it? Any major bugs? Is it stable enough? Or should I consider something else, such as Xposed + some modules (such as GravityBox)? I'm currently running latest stock build 5.1 (LPE23.32-14.2).
Thanks for your help.
The latest snapshot isn't bad, but I've had more success with the nightlies simply because they have patches that haven't made it into the snapshot builds yet. I'd say try out a couple nightlies and just stick with one that doesn't have any issues for you.

Could you recommend any nightly in particular to begin with?
I'm on the 10/25 nightly and haven't run into any major issues yet.
Hello folks, I'm just a noob that once found these types of threads to be super helpful so I'm recreating it. The goal of this thread is to keep track of which ROMS currently work with our newly unlocked droid. As I have already admitted I am a noob, I apologize in advance for any of my mistakes.
Computerfreek274_Unlocked_1.2 (updated 11/29)
CM 12.1 - nightly (updated 11/29)
Resurrection Remix 5.5.9 (updated 9/21)
amirite?

ROM update! Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.9-20151129-quark.zip
Download-ROM
If dirty flash and the device dont boot make a clean install (Wipe dalvik cache, cache, system and data) then install the ROM.
The changelog:
* Included the platform review made by CM developers
* Add support for XT1254 and XT1250 check CM12.1 op in case of problem.
* Add experimental support for VoLTE and VT (Mobile network/Enhanced 4G LTE Mode) 1* this will only work if the carrier provides the features, 2* this is experimental and may be dependind on other features that I have not fully ported.
So VoLTE may not work but in the futere will. Users please report.
* All the latest RR updates. The RR changelog may not be update, but the changes are in the ROM...
* All the latest CM update for quark AKA Moto MAXX
This ROM doesn't have my kernel it have Stock-CM-Kernel but you can download and use it, I do this because some people may not need custom kernel or wanna to test without it.
Download BHB27-Kernel
Use the latest version of my kernel.
Use the version 1.1.6 ad up
Bug report: make with in the most accurate description possible, do not spare words, screens and logs, a bug that i can't understand can't reproduce I can't fix.

@BayButcher also has custom kernel which works with CM 12.1 and his ROM.
Hi,
I use Nook HD+ in my workplace only because its the tablet with no camera. I currently have CM10 and looking to update it to CM11 or 12 but not sure which version is the most stable. I don't care about the fancy features, just need no-lag and no crashes.
Which ROM and version (nightly/snapshot?) should I go for?
Thanks
Latest CM 11 nightlies is the most stable (in my opinion, of course). Tested it on my HD and HD+, my choice for both devices. Get it here for your HD+: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ovation

Pacman ROM has been great for me. CM worked OK until I tried some of the unofficial Lollipop versions. I haven't tried Mokee, but pacman incorporates features from it.

I've used Tesamek's CM11.0 ROM for a long time without many problems. The display does flicker every now and then. Currently trying the CM13.0 ROM.
I'd like to see a CM13 port because it's extremely close to stock but has a lot of useful extra features. (Like audioFX.)
EDIT: I realize I should've been more clear. I'm going to attempt to port a ROM when we get the kernel source and I want to know which one you'd like to see and why.
1) cyanogenmod (of course)
2) Resurrection Remix
3) AOKP
1. Cyanide
2. Dirty Unicorns
3. Resurrection Remix

A basic AOSP, no fancy feature, no cyanogen. Just the ROM without any bull****.
That would be perfect to after start modding, and see what we can really do with the phone. Something like Kresus
Cyanogenmod without gapps or anything extra (so open-source)

Thaaat's not really a ROM though. You'd just install CM and not the Gapps.

I'd love to see Aicp ported over. It was my favorite rom to run on my Nexus 5 before it got smashed and I bought my new Blu. I understand that I won't have F2FS and CAF but even without those its still a great rom to run.

Something along those lines though
Just giving ideas and stuff
Definitely CM! What is the process to get BLU to release the kernel source?
1) Resurrection Remix
2) XOKP
3) CM13
4)Paranoid Android
cyanogenmod13
CM13
cm13
.
i would also like to see CyanogenMod 13, or even 12.1.
since also the question was "Why?" - It is my favorite ROM, has regular updates that are easy to perform, gives a close to stock experience, and in my experience with it you seem to get better performance than with stock or even debloated roms on most phones i have used.
Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Android or a great AOKP port!

CM is garbage now. Most other ROMs are too damn buggy.
