Please excuse the noob here.
I have my LG L90.
I plan to root my phone using the root guide here on XDA.
However being a noob I'm afraid to root.
The main reason for that being I hear dual sim phones do not have good custom roms like CM11 or their upcoming androidL rom.
For example they have only ROMs for D415 here at XDA and that too has missing stuff like front camera !!
A friends phone got bricked and I'm pretty scared to put a single SIM rom of D415 into my D410. What will happen then?
Will my device get bricked or be very buggy because it is a dual sim?
Plz help

As far as I know (D405n here) these roms are universal. I use cm11 built for 410 (which has not got NFC) and the bug is I don't have front camera working (410 users have) and also no NFC. If you're going to use rom for single sim, your dual sim support will most likely not work, other than that might be little differences. But of course get sure you can use 415 rom for 410

The NFC not working IMHO is understood, but Isn't something like the front camera not working a major issue?
Where do you get a good ROM for D410? The rom I saw didnt have front camera support even for D410.
(I understood CM group doesnt release rom for each phone)

I am pretty sure front camera is working for 410 in quarx's cm11. I think he mentioned it does work in 410, but it doesn't in other versions since he doesn't own them. But then again, find yourself (it should be written somewhere on the few last pages in the rom thread)
It bugs me how hard it is for a phone to have a stable ROM.
Well maybe its really hard, coding these.
Ok I definetly will find out.
Thank you.

The L90 has only been on the market for 5 or 6 months. We've had custom ROMs for at least the past 3 months. There are only a small group, 4 people, working on ROMs for this device. We all have lives away from XDA too. I've literally dumped every free minute, and then some, in to developing my ROM for the D415.
As you stated, CM doesn't and cannot support every device out there. Myself, I technically don't have the free time to support ROM building but somehow I'm managing. The only way CM will support this device is for someone to be appointed a maintainer, by CM, for this device.
I can't see how the VGA front camera is more important than the rear main camera but that's just me. Also the D415 models, and any L90 variant with out 'n' in the model name, does not have NFC. So "LG-D4**n" is a NFC enabled device. "LG-D4**hn" is a dual-sim NFC enabled device.
Quarx is building ROMs for dual sim devices, I'm building for single sim devices.

Totally understand.
L90 isn't even popular, with a rating 0.8 compared to 7.0 of LG G2.
CM won't appoint a maintainer.
Should have bought a flagship device
I really appreciate the work you guys are doing.
Imagine what will happen when android L is out? People will start demanding the ROM almost instantly. Demand will always be higher.
Tough times.

Part of the problem is in what you just said right there the demand is out there but nobody wants to take the time to do it themselves.
Each device no matter if its a flagship or a non flagship device has many different variants each variant has its own quirks and its own needs the four people we currently have working on our devices are doing it in their own free time this is not what they do for a living everything they do for us is awesome everything everything fix yes there are bugs there are bugs in the stock rom on a phone so don't ever expect anything to be perfect for the cameras in camera I can understand the front facing camera why do you really need it? Do you need it desperately Skype somebody?
@shinobisoft does this means your rom is compatible with the d405n?

It can be. But when I release the next update, since the D415 doesn't have NFC or a FM reciever, NFC will be disabled and FM Radio.apk won't exist either. In order for me to support other devices, I must also build a kernel for them.
Let me work the bugs out of CM11 for the D415, then I'll look in to building ROMs for the other single sim variants.

I like to get a Moto G (2014) in the China version (XT1079) because I am often in China, I am on China mobile, and they use TD-SCDMA (which my iPhone doesn't support, so it's terribly slow). Of course now you say "get Unicom" - but I like to keep my SIM number and in China you can't transfer numbers.
Currently it sells for RMB999 ($160) on the Motorola Website in China.
I hope a merciful XT1079 owner can help with my questions:
1. Can I switch to English at all?
2. China Android is as far as I know Google free, so can I install the common Goggle services? Mainly the Playstore that is, and get other Apps from there.
3. Does the China Android even support VPN?
4. In case I need to root to get a 'normal' Android - will it still support TD-SCDMA?
Moto G XT1079 Q&A
I have a Moto G 1079 i bought it in march when it was 1299 from jingdong
The following info may be outdated and without deep research. I did all this in april so there may be updates now which you can research prior buying.
But all in all i recommend not buying the Moto G that Lenovo messed up really reallybad. I dont recommend. Instead maybe buy a Xiaomi device. I recommend the Mi Note dual sim dual network support especially China Mobile and other 4G
The questions with ur answers. Good luck i reallywished lenovo didnt mess up this great device
1. Of course you can change the system language to english
2. Lenovo installed their own app store and security app that won't let you install anything unless you root, which really is a shame because Moto G is an excellent device.
3. If you root u can install anything and thus astrill or any other vpn app is still usable. The VPN settings are still available nontheless
4. If you root which is a painfull process that needs Motorolla's approval email and stuff. I did all that it and it still works 4G China Mobile no problem.
P.S. when i was researching there was rumours that a GB rom or brazil Rom was possible to flash but when i tried it China Mobile wasnt usable. Maybe the new images and updates have fixed this issue
Good luck
Please let me know if you find anything. Basically im stuck with a really bad 90% stable rooted Moto G thats works hahaha
HI everyone,
Is there any definite information available regarding whether the Moto G2 would get the Android N? Thanks for sharing any information about this.
I pray for stock 6.0.1 and security update
support lenovo says that the last tests but when asked which country he could not say
lying, but I hope I'm wrong
forget about stock N..
only custom..
I'll wait a few more weeks as nothing appears I install custom 5.1.1 or RR 5.7.3 based on M.
but on all 6 rom touch issuse is there from what I read
Android N will not be coming to our beloved Moto G2. It will come by CM or other custom rom.
I very doubt it. Titan didn't even got stock 6.0.1 yet. Perhaps CM could bring it, who knows.
Thanks for the replies everyone. Really appreciate it!
Oh well, I am kinda used to the Moto G2 as my second phone. It was quite cheap and is still quite fast and problem-free. So, I was curious (and hopeful) about whether there was any chance of it getting the upcoming Android.
Thanks again! :good:
I am waiting for android N ...lets hope we get it soon
Well, if Lenovo fixed the touch issues, it would make things easier. Anyways, one of CM13's devs for Titan said that it would be hard because stuff changed the camera and without proper source code, it would be hard to make it work. One can only hope.
I just had a chat with Motorola Customer Support. They said that they do not have any information right now as to which all phones will get Android N and by when would they get it.
No stock naugat.
I'm a moto g 2014 owner and i got the official 6.0 patch on my device, though i was a part of a soak test but i'm pretty sure it was released right after the soak ended back in February. chances of Android N on moto g 2nd gen are slim but it could happen.
any chance of custom n rom

Why? The custom ROM's currently available are awesome and provide all that I need for now. If getting the latest version of Android becomes that important to me then I will upgrade my phone to one that supports it. But that's me.

Seems like you don't experience the touch issues which are plaguing the MM ROMs for this device then. And I agree, I don't see a hurry for Nougat for me right now, Marshmallow would be good enough. And I would prefer to see this phone die on MM with a fixed touch drivers (pls Lenovo), rather than going to NG with lots of things broken, according to the devs.

No I don't have any touch issues. But my post may have been prophetic. Yesterday, my mobile data stopped working for no apparent reason. All of the usual suspects are properly set and on still, so it is definitely a hardware issue. I have no data unless I am connected through a WIFI AP. Really sucks since I cannot access the WIFI at my job with personal devices. And the company laptop is so restricted I can't really get any personal business done on my break times.
Bottom line - I ordered a Moto G 4th gen yesterday evening. Hopefully it will serve me as well as did the 2nd gen. I really gave it a thorough run for the two years I had it. We'll see how it compares.
Touch issues happen only if you have glass protecting screen on some ROMs but if you have i recommend cm13 and if you need more personalization put xposed and thats all

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.

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.
Been waiting on the pie update for a while now, checked for an update today and got excited. Turns out its just a security patch. Sprint why you do this? Why come no pie for me?

No this will not carrier unlock the V40 you have to talk to Sprint about that, but if you sim unlock on stock Sprint Oreo, you may lose it when crossflashing to US unlocked Pie
Stupid sprint is the only company who hasn't released it. Now even some apps say it's compatibility with my phone because developers have put minimum requirements to be able to download on the play store for my phone

I wouldn't go so far as to call them idiots, just SLOW when it comes to updates. I want to switch service providers but sprint and t-mobile are eventually merging, and they will most likely be the first to roll out the 5g network in my area. the fact that i still have oreo isn't THAT big of a deal, because i don't use any apps that are incompatible *yet. I just wish sprint would get the lead out and release the pie update, almost everyone else has.
PIE on the V40 is actually worse than Oreo. Only a couple of the new PIE features are in the ROM, all the major stuff was skipped.
PIE takes away the ability to change to the low power location mode so Google can ping GPS all day for location logging and drain your battery faster. It also limits the wifi scanning frequency for the scanner aps so they are now useless and at work I have to use another phone for setups.

Same question here!
If I understand it correctly, Qualcomm phones have all existing frequencies built in their chips, some obviously hidden/blocked to make it work only on specific network. So why wouldn't the v40 (unlocked) work on T-Mobile if I'm not bothered with 5G at this moment?

If t-mobile is telling you that, it's not true. The sprint device, at&t, verizon are all basically the same, but they have slightly different firmware.
I'd suggest to flash the US Open Pie kdz (there isn't a Q version of it), or, if you're feeling adventurous and want Q, then flash the Korean Open kdz and use the OP partition from US Open Pie to basically get Us Open Q.
The v40 is a great device, very capable. Unfortunately, LG devices have a proprietary IMS stack, which means Lineage or any aosp Rom cannot implement VOWIFI or VOLTE, which means having to stick with the last available version (and security patch) that was put out by the oem.
Oh , and btw, if you go the korean open / OP from US Open, band 71 DOES work! Yes, shocking, but the korean open does support it, even though there is no band 71 in korea!
cheers

Yes, for LG devices, you need the lgup software tool to upgrade or crossflash a kdz (LG's proprietary firmware files).
This is the way we learn. It does pay to read many of the posts in a 'guide' to know what probs others have had, if there are any mistakes in the guide, etc.

If t-mobile is telling you that, it's not true. The sprint device, at&t, verizon are all basically the same, but they have slightly different firmware.
I'd suggest to flash the US Open Pie kdz (there isn't a Q version of it), or, if you're feeling adventurous and want Q, then flash the Korean Open kdz and use the OP partition from US Open Pie to basically get Us Open Q.
The v40 is a great device, very capable. Unfortunately, LG devices have a proprietary IMS stack, which means Lineage or any aosp Rom cannot implement VOWIFI or VOLTE, which means having to stick with the last available version (and security patch) that was put out by the oem.
Oh , and btw, if you go the korean open / OP from US Open, band 71 DOES work! Yes, shocking, but the korean open does support it, even though there is no band 71 in korea!

Yes. Whichever carrier you want to use, of course use their apn. I use Mint Mobile and they have specific apn to use. Some features don't work if you don't use their apn.
