Rom upgrade advice - Moto X Q&A

I am using my moto x 2013 on KitKat vanilla with Xposed for about 2 years now. I tried to flash other MM Rom a year ago but every rom had some issues.
Is it possible to upgrade to MM from KK.
Which Rom is the best?
Thank you for your help!

What one is best is very subjective lol I run lineage 13 currently with everything working but I really like the 7.1.2 Experience rom best however on that headphones , camera, and for me GPS don't work. It does have excellent stability and battery life.

Bottom line if you've got an unlocked bootloader and working twrp recovery try them out maybe you'll find one you like

Is lineage good for daily use?
Can I directly upgrade to lineage 13 or I should upgrade to cm 12 first

Yes you should be able to wipe and clean install. I dont do dirty flashes when switching between different roms.

AT&T Root/Update Help

Hi everyone,
I'm on 4.2.2 Camera OTA, and I know I can root. I also want to try out KitKat, but how can I move between the three options?
For example:
I like stock. I think I will root, but I may want to try KitKat too. And once on KitKat, I will probably want to go back to 4.2.2 stock, or maybe rooted.
How do I upgrade while rooted, or downgrade from KitKat?
Any help would be great, I hard bricked my last Moto X while trying to get back to 4.2.2 stock..
Why would you want to be on 4.2.2? 4.4 is official.... It is stock. And it is basically better in every way

Just want to be able to move between them easily..

Nexus 7 lagging and battery drain

Hello
I've had my nexus 7 since when it first came out. Now I also have Note 10.1 2014, but don't want to forego my beloved nexus.
My problem with it is that it is very slow now, and lagging opening an app, or even working in an app. Second, the battery drains very fast, usually within 6 hours or so.
Let me know what steps to take to bring it back like it used to be.

If you haven't installed the 5.02 update you should be pleased when you do. It greatly improved my N7 compared to 5.0.
I'm rooted, so not getting any OTAs. Will have to update other way.

True. My tablet has done the same thing went from a laggy unuseable device to a brand new device thanks to 5.0.2 and F2FS. You definitely will enjoy it once u get it up and going.

I flashed the factory img for 5.0.2 with the Wug's Toolkit to get my Nexus 7 up to date, then used it to root my device and install the latest TWRP.
No lag everything is smooth and fast
can you post the link for the toolkit etc?

I'm think about getting a tablet, and iv been thinking about the nexus 7 4g 2012 model. I'm wanting one that I can root and unlock and install custom ROMs on. I was looking at the galaxy tab 3 and 4 but its not really going any were that I've seen anyway. Would the nexus 7 4g 2012 model be a good choice, my budget is around 200$. Thanks

Could I use the nexus 7 4g 2012 on Verizon? Could I put my vzw sim in and use my data on the nexus

Hello
Thanks PapaMag.
I did a full unroot and flashed the 5.0.2 version. I like it so far. Now I have to customize my nexus, to work the way i want it to work.
The battery life is ok after update to 5.0.2, but no noticeable change in lagging ?
Same here
I didn't notice any improvement,too, after updating to 5.02. It has the same lag and it is totally unusable. I don't know about battery life, because I cannot use the tablet.
I think Google totally failed with this one. They definitely should put an OTA for going back to KitKat.

Installing a Stock ROM to dual boot with MultiROM

Hello,
Just wondering if it is possible to install a Stock ROM without root with MultiROM and keep my primary ROM (Pure Nexus) at the same time? Thanks!
Yeah, you can add what ever ROM you like. Or do you mean a stock system image, cos that's a different story...

I just want a nice clean unrooted ROM to flip back and forth from, is that possible?
Yep, just download the cleanest one you can find, probs stock, and flash it in recovery, but make sure you do it in the multirom section ?

Alright awesome Just wanted to make sure it wouldn't flash over anything like Radio or kernel. Will the stock OTA work?
No Unfortunately not but if you flash one from XDA they should always be pushing out updates which you can dirty flash

so these (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493) won't work?
These will work but to get the ota's you'll need the stock recovery, so no twrp or anything

But you can always just download the newest version and dirty flash it, if you have the time

And where might one find the newest version? Does it matter that I use Verizon?
Find the ROM that you like and see if there a carrier specific ones, and I live on Australia, so I have no idea about Verizon etc ?

I think Pure Nexus ROM is the closest you'll find, or maybe the full version of Cataclysm though it does have some tweaks. Probably the best bet.

[DISCUSSION] Android Nougat 7.0 Samsung Galaxy S5

Hello,
Now that Nougat is named and released let's talk Nougat for the S5.
Hi there
The Galaxy S4 has already got a working Android Nougat Build

I hope this idea comes to fruition, I'd love to see Nougat on my old S5.

Any devs wanna give it a go? Please?

Recommendations for Fastest, Best Functioning Rom

I have kept stock rom since I've owned the phone but after updating to 20s my phone is incredibly slow! Anyone recommend a rom that is the fastest with not too many bugs. My phone is so slow it takes 5 or more seconds to respond to taps now.

If ur phone is slowing down I recommend flashing a kernel and tweaking it.

Clear cache for browser, etc

Is coming from me. Not Tmo or LG. Is a modify version of a Korean update that up to this date are the only G4s that have been updated to nougat. I have fixed some modem incapabilities, edited tons of files and ported other files and redone the build.pro so all will smoothly work as it have too.

Efforts were teamwork and you have done as much I have with this rom coming up including @Astrako and @renzettis and the other guys involved I will credit same. Without the team effort there is no way this will make it happen.
