I just updated KitKat to 4.4.3 a few weeks back. Is there really already a 4.4.4 update? I saw this here, but I couldn't tell if 4.4.4 is intended for the Moto X or not.
The first few paragraphs of that link provide you with all the info you asked

Looks like the article was just mentioning the devices that got 4.4.3. I doubt carriers are going to go through the trouble of testing and rolling out 4.4.4 for the X if they've already put out 4.4.3. I think that's why they only confirmed the GPe Moto G for 4.4.4. Just my guess.
Does anyone know if the SSL bug got fixed in our 4.4.3?

Well, yes and no. I still can't figure out if there's going to be a 4.4.4 for the Moto X. No big deal, apparently, but I'd like to know. If I were hit by a bus tomorrow, for instance, I'd hate to leave this earth without having first gotten the latest Android update for my phone.:cyclops:

Great news but I through the X was the flagship and not the G. Why the G is always updated before it?

Yes, I find that weird too, I mean no disrespect to G or E owners but why X is prioritize last?
Also what does that mean "Indian users", what the hell will happen to users of elsewhere?

Its written Indian users because our phones are not bound by any carrier . So we receive our updates from Motorola directly. For other carrier based phones it depends on the carriers and not Motorola.
Also its little weird that Moto E is getting the update before X, Since X being the flagship phone :/

Guess that updating Moto G and E prior Mot X is rather a technical issue than question of a privilege. Moto X with its 8 core computing system needs much more adaptation than other ones, which based mostly on the plain AOSP . That's also the reason why is so difficult to mod a useful custom ROM for Moto X with full stock functionality.
I was just wondering if there are going to be further updates to the Moto X from 4.4?
Any idea how long they are going to support this device for?
I am betting android L, whatever version they number it, will be the end. And maybe a small bug fix update as usual. ?
I heard it would get "L".

L is already confirmed for the moto x. After that it will be getting close to 18 months old so I wont expect further major updates after that.

Thnks a lot for that; perhaps I need to root and get updates via XDA... I guess its already quite an old phone.
Hi,
I'm just wondering if when the moto x style gets the software available, do you think we might get a ported ROM or at least ported apps?

There's a few threads about this. Here's just one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3116578
Ahh thanks for the reply. That'll teach me to look first.
I wonder if the devs would have a better chance with the moto x style just because it'll be easier to obtain here in the states versus the moto x pro. I mean I'd stay with my nexus6 if I could get the moto enhancements. I just have my doubts. If it hasn't been done already, I'm starting to doubt it ever gets done.

Why would you think it would be easier to port from the Style than from a Moto X 2nd gen?

Today I received an update for the Motorola Notification app in the play store. Here's the Changelog - Added support for Android 8.0
So the Motorola Notification App for the Moto G5s Plus has got support for android Oreo so this implies that the Android Oreo update is around the corner.
Fingers Crossed.
Also could anyone please tell me how to upload a photo in a thread like this from device's gallery.
Because I want to upload screenshot in these types of threads.
Hello,
I suppose you're right.
If you use Google Drive then you can share the image link.
I updated it too.

I got that too, but other moto devices may use that app, and they could hit 8.0 first.

Here is my thought -
The Moto G5s Plus and the Moto X4 has the same camera app installed(play store) but they differ in features. Like initially the X4 had a spot color feature but the G5s Plus was not having it but they both had the same camera app installed.
So I think Motorola releases different versions of their apps for different phones.
Same applies to the notification app.

G5s Plus has recently got it but the Moto X4 was launched with this feature about few months ago.

So what is your point? You thinl this is a general 8.0 supoort update or could be related to the oreo rollout?

Could be, but not proof as the OP suggests. There is no proof until it rolls out to one of our phones.

Notifications, treble (possibly), security improvements.
Thats doesnt means that Moto G5S Plus is getting Oreo update for your device.. its Moto's App.. and it will be common for all moto phones.
Is is still "coming soon"? lol! It was "this fall" [sic] ...uh...was it really six months ago? yep - six months to the day next wednesday (https://blog.motorola.com/2017/09/14/say-hello-android-oreo/) OnePlus5 users got theirs in january. Perhaps they meant "fall" 2018? Perhaps they've just given up.

While I am skeptical of companies following through with updates, I do believe this phone will get Oreo. However, remember when the Moto X Style/Play was to get Nougat? It took 2 years...They eventually got it, but way way late.
Well after this news https://www.xda-developers.com/motorola-lays-off-half-chicago-workforce/#disqus_thread
I'm not hoping for much of an update anytime soon. Not saying this will affect the update, but it doesn't look promising

I'm currently a g5s plus user which gets a lot of love from devs. And I see that there are barely any ROM'S for this device? What's the reason?

Cool this is the g6 forum not the g5+ forum lol I wanna know what even brings you to this forum since you have e a g5+. there's a couple being worked on for the g6 plus but there not ready for public release yet and that's it. No one really gives a damn about the Moto g6 or g6 play which sucks ass tbh. I've literally tried given an extra g6 play I had away for free to any dev and I was willing to pay the shipping even and no one even bothered asking about it so I got rid of it lol
Depends on the variant. G6+ was not released in the US officially so that hurt adoption as the G6 is not exactly a stand out device. The 6+ can be bought on Amazon in the US but it lacks a warranty and comes with Amazon bloatware(Alexa, Amazon.com, Amazon Prime Video/Music, Kindle). It also lacks NFC when compared to the 6+. It's more expensive then a Z Force 2 which has Moto Mods and better screen but older SoC. The US availableility is the biggest key! The g6 seems to be gaining traction though as prepaid carriers like Cricket and Straight Talk are releasing variants of the G6 now. The cricket version is cheaper then the G6 but has 16gb storage vs 32gb in the G6. Seems like the G6 Play is most commonly used on Boost Mobile in the US from to me. Boost is sort of a hit or miss carrier mostly depending on how good Sprint networks are in an area I believe. They are one of the rare sprint resellers.

Was interested to recommend this to someone else, decided to check ROM support before doing so. But yeah it's sad how a generational update can cause such a dry patch here.

I mean the phone itself is a great phone and if I didn't care about having root or if I was just a simple person that just used a phone like normal I would say this phone is amazing like if your friend ain't really into rooting or custom ROMs then still I would recommend it to them. But if they are into this scene I would not recommend it at least yet.

I see, but I still wanted to keep that venue open, so I'll wait and see if the support comes. If not, then a Xiaomi phone it is. Could flash something like Official Lineage OS on a RN5 Pro, even the noobiest of users enjoy it.

For the g6+ I say give it about another month to three months. There is a telegram you can join if you want more updates on what's going in the g6+ community right now. I unfortunately have the g6 play so I can't say I have much hope for my device lmao. I also have a Moto z2 force so I just mainly use my g6 play as a phone and basic light mobile gaming and my z2 force for my heavier mobile gaming stuff like pubg mobile lol.

We have working LOS16 custom rom that is daily driver ready for the most part. LOS updates our vendor partition to make the GSI format more compatible with our device. We don't really have a reason to make a ton of custom roms anymore when a GSI img can be made and work on 50+ devices vs a custom rom which can work on only 1 device.

Yeah it's interesting how little is going on with the G6 platform compared to other phones. I picked up my G6 play for $80, a steal. It replaced my Moto x 2014 and my wife's Moto Z.
Yes there's occasional lag, but the phone itself looks and feels like a very high end device. I've also used the G6 which was much faster and the camera was nicer.
So for those saying the G6 "sucks" either haven't used it or are willing to pay $500+ for a "better" phone.

Pretty much this. The Play and the G6 shows that you don't need to spend $500+ to get a good phone.
Its like buying a BMW versus a Toyota. The $40,000 BMW depreciates to $18,000 in 2 years versus a $20,000 Toyota that will depreciates to $12,000. It's the same principle with phones. I'm thoroughly enjoying mine.
This is why I'm glad Treble exists. I've been running Pie for 2 weeks and it's still going great.
