Android Q - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

When Android Q will come for moto x4 indian version
Any custom rom or update for stock.
Sorry for bad english:silly:

Can't see it happening myself. It's a nearly 2-year-old phone, that's had 2 major updates over its life span. I can't see it getting another one.

Custom ROM soon

maybee....https://www.pocket-lint.com/phones/news/148423-when-is-android-10-q-update-coming-to-my-phone

Maybe a Q GSI.
First install Lineage 16 to enable treble compatibility then flash a Q GSI rom from the Treble forum. This [GSI][A/AB][arm64] Android Q Developer Preview says it's been tested on the x4. And let us know how it works! Might be awhile till there are Q roms with few bugs and decent stability.

Have you heard of someone planning a Q rom for the x4?

Android One program supposedly guarantees OS updates for 2 years and security updates for 3.
- Android One Moto X4 release date: 10/2017
- Android 10 OS release date: 9/2019
That's less than 2 years. If they are making it for one variant of Moto X4, I don't see why they wouldn't just release it for the rest of the variants. That being said, I am not fully confident the Android One Moto X4 will actually see it (also not sure if it would be that big of an improvement).

Well since this thread was opened on 30 Aug, I'd like to provide an update on the status.
Currently we have Daredevil and devilcoral kernels capable of booting Oreo. And they do.
(I've still not done anything related to Oreo in venom kernel because I don't feel like doing it. Maybe I'll do once Oreo comes out to public and whole Oreo kernel source and device sources become stable)
(To me, there's no point in already adding support for Android o when currently o is only in beta stage and the two kernels above are more than enough for the mere purpose of "testing" it)
Ok, so those kernels are working good. They boot Oreo. Without the kernel support, we can't do anything about Android. So yeah, stage 1 is clear.
Then comes the ROM part.
Since we haven't exactly figured out the device sources, and Rohan, the one who makes the device source, has no time for it. I think I remember him say he's out but this is just a blurred incident in my memory.
We have K3 note by our side, kinda like the big bro to A7k. Daniel_hk has been doing quite a lot of tinkering there and released the carbon rom build of Oreo. Probably the first Oreo public release ever on a MTK.
The compiled roms we had were not so much talk.
So, recently AKS ported the carbon build from K3 and Aryan booted it with devilcoral. The bugs are, as expected, present here and there and surely it will take time to fix. And with Rohan not with us actively, it will take even longer. It's almost as if we're dependent on K3 note.
At least we get to the setup, then launcher, then we can also play around with settings. This is good. But there are other bugs which are not supposed to be mentioned here.
It is possible that oreo will come this year itself, but let me remind, even nougat took it's time. 8 months to be precise.
Finally,
It's best to be patient and keep waiting, considering the fact that Oreo has reached at the above mentioned working status. Keep waiting and don't disturb developers by asking about oreo too much.
I guess pressing the thanks button below would be great now.
Bt exactly when ??
great! I'm waiting for that! =)))

CM13 took 3 months to successfully port even with complete sources.
Android 7 took us 4 months to make it nearly stable enough as you see nowadays. And that was with the help of Rohan Taneja, who did everything from the source building to the debugging.
Now Rohan Taneja is not available and also don't miss the fact that our device is an MTK. No mtk device yet has stable Oreo.
Without Rohan Taneja, I would say it can take months more.
Here are the bugs in Oreo currently :
1) Deep sleep : Device screen does not turn on once it turns off. That makes it pretty useless enough. You will need to reboot every time phone screen is switched off. Most likely kernel issue.
2) Minor one compared to other. Bluetooth bug.

I read about that and Moto X4 Android One will get 9.0 update sure.
The question is to know when X4's european owners receive this update.
According to Google:
"You’ll also get access to the latest updates from Android, such as Android Oreo before the end of the year. Android One moto x4 will be among the first to receive an upgrade to Android P."

We already know that Moto X4 equipped with Android One will have Android P update but the question is to know if Moto X4 with Android Oreo standard will receive Android Pie.
On the other hand, the Motorola's blog in order to know updates news is the worst place where you can get report updates as they do not report anything at all.
Well, it looks like Motorola's blog just announced that Pie will be available this fall:
"...Android Pie will be served up on the below Motorola smartphones starting this fall:
...
moto x4"
https://blog.motorola.com/2018/08/15/baked-android-pie-coming-motorola/
My bets are that:
1. This only applies to Android One. Regular X4s will get it next year.
2. "This fall" means by the end of the calendar year.

The american retail variant are receiving updates at the same time as the Android One does, I think Android Pie will come together, but only for the american variant.

Official Custom Rom..request to developers

Anyone knows when official custom roms will be released for moto X4. I like to flash official ROM as its my daily driver device.
In custom ROM section, those are unofficial.
There are only Lineage, Resurrection Remix v6.1, Carbon ROM, & that too Unofficial Version.
When can we see Pixel Experience, Omni ROM, AOSP extended, Liquid Remix, CrDroid, Firehound ???
It looks like Moto X4 is neglected device, one side MOTO is not releasing regular update, for my XT1900-2 its still on android 8.0, jun patch, & Other side there are no official popular ROM, i request all developers on XDA to focus on moto X4 so that users like me can enjoy bunch of latest android features.
Unbelievable.
There's no ETA for anything...
But, LineageOS 15.1 will become official and you can flash the GSIs found at Project Treble section, just follow the guide to install Android Pie found here.
No official yet,and process of porting android 9.0 is too complex. Can't we have flashable rom zip one file for android 9 moto x4

WILL become official... Just wait, maybe Tuesday...
The only zip available for Pie is LineageOS 16, but it's in development, not only for our device, but the system itself.
Great news, eagerly waiting...

I mean there's really no such thing as stable when it comes to gsi roms unless there specifically built for the device like the stock roms and official builds of custom roms like lineage and RR. You can technically flash any gsi rom but there is a strong chance of device related issues. some gsi images work better than others. There's fixes for some issues but I myself don't know em because Im not on a gsi image

Are you on stock ??
I'd assume it would be soon because the Moto x4 just got the Pie beta. That phone came out not long before this one.

Not really, most of them won't even boot. I'm hoping 9.0 drops by the new year for our G6.

The x4 has been out for well over a year now. There's quite a gap between it and the g6 series.
Wait around one year or so for the update to 9.0... Motorola/Lenovo has ruined the updates so I have lost the hope in this company ...

All of the arm/A roms including unofficial pixel experience and aosp by phh boot fine. Only problems I've found are no hotspot and Bluetooth and notification ringtones sounding garbled. There is a fix that requires deleting a folder from your vendor for the last two problems

Pie is the last one major update.... Because Moto assicure only 2 major update.. But we will receive for sure minor update, like security patch.. Also I am waiting the last one update ; after that I will root and test all the other rom... But for now I don't feel the necessity of root.

I agree, however I think there MAY be an update to Android Q as there was a variant of the Moto X4 (6/64) that was released with Android Oreo - 2 major updates would bring it to Android Q.
Edit: it was the 6/64 version that was released with Oreo, not the 4/64 that I originally stated. I have the 3/32 version.
