I have xposed framework installed, and using motoXposed. I want to unlink ringer and notification sounds, I know that Gravity Box can, that's maybe the only feature I would use from it.
As I'm still learning what works best, wondering if that's the best choice, or if anyone knows if there's another, maybe "lighter" mod for what I'm looking for I just don't want to mess it up, as I'm not very experienced with ADB, Fastboot and RSD (I know, I need to learn in case I have to restore to stock, etc)
Appreciate any help

Gravity box works perfectly for me, besides unlinking sounds , you also can expand sound controls, 30 volume steps also works fine

Thanks, was reading that in the description, which sounds good. Reading up on Fastboot and RSD Lite (in case of a bootloop, etc) realized the other day this is my first phone without a removable battery (luckily only had one brief bootloop in 3 years flashing on my Samsung) but fearing it with this device, as I'd be worried while I'm trying to figure things out and it's in a bootloop... as I would guess, or at least "looks" like it's bad for the phone

I believe if you use a root explorer you should see a flashable xposed framework Disabler zip file located on your sdcard. I haven't had one issue with xposed framework, just had to do a rsdlite flash yesterday due to a bad flash with a cm10.2 ROM , I couldn't restore my back ups as they failed and flashing any other ROM resulted in boot loops.
Xposed is safe and if you end up in a boot loop due to xposed just flash the Disabler zip

Thanks, xposed does sound pretty safe. I'm used to having custom roms, custom recovery on my old phone. I'm still learning with only being rooted, don't have safestrap, so no cwm, etc, presuming I can't flash a zip file with just root? Reading a lot, but still a learning curve for me.

The only issues with xposed tend to be with pwnmymoto root method, if your boot loader is unlocked and have a custom recovery, you should have no issues running xposed

Thanks, Pwnmymoto is the root method I have, don't have unlocked boot loader. Hopefully won't cause issues, hasn't so far with xposed framework and MotoXposed, and mainly just want to use the unlink volumes feature in Gravity box.

I've searched a bit and the only root tutorial I can find is locked pending an update.
The phone is on 4.4.4. Is it the same recovery as the non-4G version? Because I've recently successfully flashed recovery and rooted on that phone and wondered if I could use the same files.
I'm comfortable with commands in the terminal so just need to know if its possible and what files to download.
Also, the person it's for isn't bothered about the upcoming Lollipop update so can just wait for a new root method for that.

First you need to unlock the device here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
Then install TWRP through fastboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-0-1-moto-g-2014-t2896165
If you need root, get SuperSU (download the recovery zip)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23427715&postcount=1
Thanks. I've unlocked the bootloader (first thing I did). Is it the same files as the non-4G? Or should I download those specifically?

I have not the slightest idea what you are talking about. There is only one image of TWRP for Moto G (2014).
And SuperSU is universal for all devices.

I mean the 2013 Moto G.
I've tried flashing recovery but I'm getting a boot up failed error.
Any idea what's went wrong?
Did you use the TWRP recovery that @doppelhelix posted? If that one doesn´t work you can try philz: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/recovery-cwm-philz-touch-6-moto-g-2014-t2896586
And the Moto G 2 Gen is an almost completely different phone then the 2013 Moto G. Don´t use roms,recoveries etc. made for that device.

Yep. I'll try this one as well.
Is using fastboot boot command the only way to boot into recovery?
If the phone is off press power+vol.down for 5sec. Custom ROMs or Gravity Box for Xposed will give you a extended shutdown menu

I'm trying on the 4G version, I just wondered if I could use recovery from the 2013 model because I've recently flashed recovery on one (doesn't work by the way).
I've tried the touch version and get the same error. Using fastboot boot command just boots into the Motorola logo and slowly turns the screen blue.
Why does it just turn blue? All I want to do is root to install Xposed.
After more searching I realised I've been forgetting to adb reboot bootloader before flashing recovery. Could that be why?
Keep in mind xposed is not yet out for 5.0 just so you know
I just got my Moto X 2014 Pure Edition in the mail yesterday and now I've gone and tried to root it.
I had already unlocked the bootloader and then being giddy I installed android 5 since I wanted to try it out. From here, I messed up. I tried to root it using the Superboot method. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this was for the 4.4.4 build.
After flashing the image, I was able to get back into the OS, but I wasn't able to install apps or get to the home screen. I could still browse still open chrome windows, but I couldn't get to home. Next, I tried CF Auto Root, as that was built for 5.0. Executed just fine, but when I got back into the phone, I kept having the same problem. Now when I boot, It gets past the moto animations and then sits on the moto logo that looks like water. It just stays there.
If I try to turn off the phone, it just repeats this. If I put it into fastboot mode, it can act in there just fine. So I tried getting into recovery, but when I got back to the android on it's back saying "NO COMMAND.", I tried holding down up and power, just like everyone says. Doing this, though, reboots the phone normally and it goes back to the same problem as it was before!
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. I'm having a mild breakdown right now

Easiest thing to do is to go to:
https://accounts.motorola.com/ssoau...edirect/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
and log in then find the right link for Moto X Pure Edition and click the "Request Firmware" link. When you get the email giving you access to the link then following the instructions for flashing it via fastboot.

Thank you so much for this! I had eventually found a fix through a lot of tinkering, but thank you for replying with the link for the firmware. I was looking everywhere for it!
I had the same issue. I have no idea what I did to cause it. Eventually I found a fix somewhere to fastboot into twrp recovery from the computer, and fix the file system. Then I flashed kitkat and updated from there.

Recovery image or fix?
can you guys post your fixes? I am stuck with the same issue and have been waiting for over an hour for Moto to send me the recovery image. Thanks!
Xtchico..look at solartrans guide to get on lollipop. You basically have to downgrade to 4.4.4...then you'll get the 5.0 ota ..then use the tools to unlock..root and install recovery.
That's what worked for me. I was stuck on the water ripple M .

This is exactly the guide that I used and the fix action which worked for me. Thank you sir for finding it! I'd been trying to find it to give him credit. It works wonders and I haven't had an issue since.

Hello, can someone help me convert my Moto G 2014 XT1064 (US) to the Google Play Edition?
I bought the Moto G on sale at Amazon a few days ago, then remembered why I had put off purchasing it previously, all of the Motorola bloatware!! No Motorola, I don't need an additional backup service, and I don't want your services constantly running and pinging home, and I'd like to get updates in a reasonable amount of time. My device said it was up to date but was still on KitKat, which was very disappointing.
So far I've unlocked my bootloader (via the official Motorola method) and I did successfully upgrade to Lollipop but it was the Motorola version.
These are the packages that I have downloaded:
Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US.zip (the motorola 5.0 update?)
Blur_Version.22.11.6.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US.zip (small update for motorola android 5)
GPE_XT1032_KOT49H.M004_CFC.xml.zip (stuck at Google screen with unlock icon, waited 30 minutes)
One issue is that it seems like both of the main sites that host the stock images have been down for a few days:
- http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=36 (DOWN as of 12/12)
- http://motofirmware.com/files/category/38-titan/ (DOWN as of 12/12)
I also used the MotoToolAioV3.1 with the GPE_XT1032_KOT49H ROM which resulted in a bootloop, I'm guessing this is for the 1st gen Moto G?
Right now I'm back on Motorola KitKat version 21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US.
Is there a way to make my Moto G XT1064 stock GPE or should I look for a custom ROM that or should I try CyanogenMod 11?
One thing to note is that I was running on less that 50% battery when trying to flash GPE_XT1032_KOT49H with MotoToolAIO, could this have been an issue or is this only to prevent the battery from dying?
Thanks for the help guys!
P.S. It was not worth it saving $70 to get the on-sale version at Amazon rather than the Google Play Edition. I've not even been able to find out for sure if you can get the 2014 version with GPE, which makes this even more frustrating.
Also, which versions are compatible with each other or are none of them compatible unless stated? Will the 1st gen ROMs work on the 2nd gen phone?
there is no GPE edition for Moto G 2ND GEN.......... and 1st gen ROMS wont work in our phones.. flashing dem results results in a BOOTLOOP

Thanks, it's really disappointing that I can't have stock Android on a Moto G 2014 and have it somewhat easy to update. When is that going to change Google, come on, it's been the same ROM -> Bootloop -> flash -> brick -> hours of ADB and mfastboot for 5 or 6 years. Having 20 Motorola services phoning home and alerting me to signin to Motorola constantly is inexcusable, and makes this otherwise great phone a LEMON.
Is there a tool or method to strip out all of the Motorola junkware?
eeeee

Edit: I don't understand, we have root, we have an unlocked bootloader, why can't this phone be 100% converted to a GPE phone? What's the technical limitation that's preventing this?

Oh, sweet, thank you so much!
It probably seems like a "duh" but this tip should be a sticky!
I never once have read somewhere that the Moto G 2014 doesn't have a Google Play Edition. Eventually I suspected that it didn't but only after an hour of flashing and bootloops.
So this is not the 2014 version? https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Moto_G_Google_Play_edition_8GB?id=moto_g_8gb&hl=en Is the model number of the GPE phone I just linked to XT1032?

Man you must be dumb if you think you can flash the moto g 2013 gpe rom to the 2nd generation moto g. It's like me trying to flash a GS5 or Note 4 ROM on my GS4. It will never work and results in a softbrick or worse. Also quit being so dramatic. This motorola rom is as close to stock android as you are gonna get from an OEM. If you want to get rid of the unintrusive motorola services just root and remove the unwanted apps with titanium backup.

It's certainly not obvious at first glance that there is not a GPE version of the 2014 version of the Moto G.
What's the technical reason that I can't flash the rom on a different device? Hardware driver support? Config files?
Is it really that difficult for Android to support having multiple drivers available for different hardware? Windows does it just fine. Linux does it.
I can't seem to root the XT1064, most people seem to end up in bootloops when trying to and so did I, so no Titanium Backup at the moment.
This is as close to stock as many manufacturers offer?? That's very disappointing.

Are you using the stock Lollipop recovery or TWRP?
How do you get into recovery from Lollipop? I've tried all different combinations of power/volume buttons but cannot get past the Broken Android screen.
By "flash SuperSU" does everyone mean using "adb sideload superSU.zip" from recovery?

I pushed SuperSU 2.38 to /data/local/tmp/ because that's the only place that I could write to as far as I know.
I booted into recovery and installed SuperSU then rebooted (I didn't clear any cache manually).
The phone is on the Warning Bootloader Ulocked screen and rebooting. I'll let it sit for about 20 minutes and see if anything good happens. Thanks for the assistance.
Edit: is mine on the wrong screen? You said yours stayed on the "bootlogo", is that the Motorola splash screen or the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen?
Edit: IT WORKED! Thank you!!

Hello guys,
Yesterday I decided to root my Moto x play.
I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP without any problems.
Then, after installing SuperSU, I get the "warning bootloader unlocked" screen all the time, when I try to reboot normally into Android.
I first tried SuperSU v2.65. Then I tried SuperSU v2.46.
How should I proceed to correct this?
Did you try SuperSU 2.79?!
Sent from my LS-5015 using Tapatalk
Actually, I did so because I want to install a custom ROM.
Should I ignore this step (rooting) and jump to ROM flash already, since I got TWRP working?
Yes you can do that..
Read the flash instructions carefully, before you proceed.

I just tried, still the same screen, since 10 minutes ago.
I don't think it takes 30 minutes to boot into Android after installing SuperSU, does it?
What am I missing here??
Well, I finish by flashing a new ROM, without rooting my device.
Thanks anyway.
