Hello. I am thinking about going towards this device to buy. I noticed on the Moto G5 Plus page that alot of users are having VOLTE, 4G and IMEI problems when they are flashing roms.
Is this commonly a problem with the Moto G5s Plus? because having VOLTE and 4G are very important factors for me. Also, is it just for Custom Oreo roms that this is happening to, or all roms in general? Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, why hasn't there been any custom roms or development ?
I really hope someone is working on root for non pure edition.
Development was pretty light with the 2013 version too. The combination of limited market (dev edition only) and the near stock experience, and the loss of what makes the Moto X special, means not very many people are seeking an alternative.
What about kernels? Surely we could benefit from custom kernels and keep all our moto x a pure android experience, correct? Like possible for color cal and battery life? :silly:
Custom roms ya custom kernel can come only after motolola releases its kernel sources
My impression was since its " pure edition" it would be developer friendly .

It is developer friendly. There just isn't a lot of development for the reasons listed above.

This, I have a Droid Maxx and the wife has a Moto X. We enjoy the anti Samsung, pure Google experience enhanced with touchless and active display. No reasons to try any AOSP Roms. Development is so light for the Droid Ultra/ Maxx that CM dropped support for it, but that is due to how good the stock ROM is. I ran Paranoid on my RAZR Maxx HD but still moved back to stock because it is smoother and has better cell reception. All the cool little functions are just that, cool. Paranoid's implementation of their dynamic status and notification bars are the best I've seen, much better than the xposed modules. But at the end of the day, it is about functionality and useability. Stock Motorola Roms are very good, just need to debloat all the Verizon crap in my case. As far as kernels, hopefully faux123 will do something with the new Moto X. I'm running his kernel on my Droid Maxx and Moto X and it definitely enhances the phone more than any aftermarket Roms could. The reason why I hangout in the Moto X forums is because there are not a lot of us Droid owners and the Moto X forums is where we get most of our stuff. I'm running a Moto X port on my Droid Maxx for example. This holds true for the new Droid Turbo also which I am definitely interested in. That is if there's a way to unlock the bootloader. Unlocked bootloader with 3900 mAH battery and 21 mp camera and the Moto X experience? I'm in, still have an upgrade available! But I don't foresee the bootloader or root being available for these new phones for a long while. In the mean time, I'll enjoy my unlocked Droid Maxx and Moto X and continue to lurk around here. Lol
You can use Xposed Framework, I think, with the 2nd Gen. Moto X. It will give you many of the popular features from custom roms that aren't in stock Android.
The only other reason I can see for custom roms on the Moto X (at least as far as it concerns me) is that I think they can be better for privacy and getting rid of under the hood bits of code that might be abused for marketing/tracking purposes. Also I think the CyanogenMod Account is a more secure way to track and remotely wipe your phone, than the Android Device Manager. At the end of the day, I trust Cyanogen to have my security and privacy in mind more than Google or Motorola. But I don't think this is enough that people will feel motivated to develop a lot for the Moto X (for the reasons already stated above).
I can't see development being any busier than the quiet 2013.
Too many Moto limitations... Like bootloaders not being able to be unlocked on some big carriers. And as said, no custom features on aosp/cm roms. Downgrade issues.... If it's like the 2013. Etc.
The X's are not for flashaholics .... That's for sure.

The pure edition root method by jcase works fine on other devices. I rooted my xt1093 last week, seen some Brazilian carriers' rooted (also non pure, xt1092 maybe?), and I'm 100% confident it'll work for any moto x with an unlockable bootloader.
Am I wrong in thinking that only the pure edition has an unlockable bootloader?
Where to find stock firmware? For verizon?

Yes, quite wrong. Search and Google are your friend here.
Only Verizon cannot be unlocked presently AFAIK.

I don't think any carrier branded X has made this available yet...
Well thats why I didn't know that. I have the VZW model.

I have mine rooted and running Xposed with GravityBox and it works just as well as my original version Moto X did. I don't see the need for a custom rom, though I might try CM once there is a version for it.
Well as someone said, even the Moto 2013 had very very little development. But I would love to see a Custom ROM based on Moto's software itself. Cleaning out small bugs and unrequired services and maybe add couple of extra features.
I just received my Moto X (2nd gen).... I should have looked on the forums first... Without custom ROMS - I'll most likely just send it back to Moto...
I like the options the custom roms bring. I like choosing the toggles I desire in the window shade, custom themes, etc... Not being able to do those things... Meh - I have been tweaking my experience since 2007. I don't like the idea of just running a plain Jane rom.. This sucks as I really like the hardware... Almost enough that I would spend the time trying to learn to make a custom rom myself... But, I can't expend the time to learn, debug, etc... Sadly, I'm too busy with my day job...
As long as you're not on Verizon, Xposed modules should be able to give you all the customization choices you'd ever need.
I was hoping for custom Lollipop roms and Xposed won't work on Android 5.0 (and, it is uncertain if it will ever work on Lollipop).....
Here is the reasoning behind my request.
I am on Tmob and have a N6. I was fine stock rooted on 5.0 then 5.0.1. Then I decided to try a few roms. One that said it was for ALL carriers, didn't allow me to get calls unless I was only in 3g.
T-mobile is the ONLY one using a 47m ROM. All others are at 47i, why is there a difference? The radios most likely. I am 95r and 98r doesn't work on TMobile very well.
Can we get a Thread for EACH Carrier? They aren't all the same, at least from my experience. Sprint, VZW are different and have problems. I hear VZW users need to use 98r for "best results"
Go ahead, blast away. Just waiting for the "senior ops" to go to town on this one!
I'm on vzw and every ROM I've tried is fine. Have you updated to the latest image from google. Or are you still on 5.0.1

With many phones, Samsung in particular - there are massive hardware differences that require several separate forums to manage.
With the nexus 6, the hardware is identical on all of them.
There are 2 specific builds that are slightly different and as you mentioned, they are M and I.
What we think is (but unproven) that M is for T-Mobile USA and I is for Australia. We have no concrete proof of that. Nor am I sure what the differences are. If you're using stock-based ROMs, try to stick to M builds.
As for AOSP, I'm not sure anyone knows what the difference is for T-mo. Maybe one day we'll find out.

Thank You for the Reply.. I would agree with the thinking about M. Like I stated a non-M build killed the incoming calls unless my phone was on 3g with Enhanced 4g unchecked.
I was just asking for a Carrier Specific Rom thread thats all.

Im on a 5.1 with 95r and 47M is my Build (nocturnal rom) its a Tmobile N6.. All other roms killed incoming calls unless I was stock rooted. CleanRom 2.0 and 2.1 with either 98r or 95r had same results. I like @scrosler roms, but can't live without getting business calls.

Yeah. I think its a good idea to have a thread that lists all t-mo compatible ROMs, but first we need to learn what the actual difference is. Perhaps its just a RIL or something. In which case, there may just be a flashable zip required.
I just think we need to know more at this stage.
@efrant, do you know the differences? @simms22?
the aosp roms were missing code that made the tmobile devices not receive calls on lte, that has been fixed and should be in all roms that have been recently updated. i use terminus, which includes the code, so tmobile users get calls on lte, and volte is working. besides that issue that has been fixed, all carriers will work on any aosp rom. theres no such thing as a carrier specific nexus rom.

Was the code added to aosp by Google? Or is it a community commit?

AOSP contains only Android OS nothing proprietary (proprietaries are included as a standalone) but when Google provided the binaries--proprietary libraries, applications were missing which caused VoLTE not to work properly. Myself and Sykopompos worked on the blobs and having VoLTE working, they were pulled from the factory image / deodexed OTA.

Okay, so to start off I've had an iphone for a couple years now and I'm way outta the loop on android things so please bare with me. I got my dad a moto x2 off ebay, its a verizon model. Looking on here I didn't see a verizon model posted in the phones section. Is there a difference other than software between models? Like could I flash a rom with an at&t radio and not have to worry about the dumb sim card error and have it work on lte? If so could someone just link me such a rom thats pre-rooted, debloated, and close to stock? I would really appreciate it. Also any tips or tricks on this phone would be awesome. (ps I'm not new to the custom rom scene just rusty)
Also did this thing get an official marshmallow update?
Thanks!
I have at&t, but I have the verizon moto x

Yeah, I was able to flash cm13 on it, which is made for the pure moto x 2014, and it works very well. I would highly recommend cm13, it is very close to stock and I run the google now launcher, since I dislike the app drawer in the default one. The only weird thing is moto display doesn't really work, but you can enable ambient display in display settings. If you have any other questions involving this phone I'd be happy to answer them!
Any ROMs anywhere for the boost Moto g6 play? It seems like an awful lot of trouble to root if there's zero Roms or mods. Anyone know what the deal is? Would really like to run lineage on here.

We are very lucky the g6+ has a rom at all and sadly it will probably stay that way. However, if you have rooted stock you can make do with xposed framework and install Gravity Box to achieve a lot of customization available in custom roms.

When MiA1 with same snapdragon 625, which is in our Moto G5s Plus, gets Dual 4G Votle feature when it was updated to Pie, can we also get the same in our machine ?
I humbly request the developers here if they can try to make available this feature in Moto G5s Plus also.

Needs changes to baseband and modem. Can only be done by Moto.
