Rom Verizon Moto G6 - Moto G6 Questions & Answers

So my dad just upgraded from a Verizon Moto G6 to an unlocked Google Pixel 4a 5G. Since he is no longer using the Moto G6 I want to rom it cause the stock motorola rom is outdated. I refuse to let it update to the Android 9 update available for it so I want to rom it. Does anyone have a Verizon Moto G6 rooted and rom and if so what guide did you use?

I'm using this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-unofficial-12-moto-g6-ali-lineageos-19-1-by-fwiep.4480349/
I've got Verizon through US Mobile and it works fine.
The maintainer also keeps monthly security updates in the ROM, so that's even better than most.

What guide did you use to unlock the bootloader? Want to do this to my dads old G6 since he does not use it anymore. I also noticed how they mentioned a 2nd sim?

Moto app for custom ROM [6.0/6.0.1]

Is there any custom android 6 ROM that has Moto app? I meant THIS
OR, Does the ROM support the Moto features of :
Moto Display, Moto Voice, Moto Actions, etc... if you know what I mean. If so, give the link for that ROM
I can't afford to lose this, I love this mobile for those features.
OR ELSE, Is there a separate Moto app for a ROM, if so, please give the link for ROM with that Moto app
OR, Does the app directly from the Google Play Store works? If so, give the link for that ROM
Also, if you could give me the default CM13.0 link along with this, I'd be greatful
Here, the ROM I'm asking is totally Android 6.0, Marshmallow and the device is totally MOTO X (2013)
Thank you guys for the concern, you guys rock!
If you want to use Moto display, voice, and etc features, you should stay on stock.
There is no official CM13 for Moto X yet.
You can try Team octOS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/romghost-team-octos-oct-m-t3324780
Or search XDA forums for unofficial CM based marshmallow ROMs.

No, device support ended in 5.1.
And no custom 6.0.1 rom will have the Moto functions because that's proprietary and Lenovo won't release the drivers.

Fun Fact: CyanogenMod 12.1 is the latest CyanogenMod version available for Moto X, AND Moto G received 13 snapshot just a while back.

To be fair the 2013 Moto G was a much more popular device than the 2013 Moto X.
Even unofficial ROMs are becoming more rare to our device, I have a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and it received a very functional Nougat ROM just 5 days after official launch, meanwhile I don't see any interest from a kind developer in porting Nougat to our phone.
Despite that I don't see much reason to buy a new phone right now, my phone is fine even after more than 2 years owning it.

Android 7.0 on T-Mobile

Hi folks! If you're on T-Mobile and run Nougat 7.0, can you tell me how your device perform? It seems that 7.0 wasn't tested by T-Mobile so I'm bit concerned about issues once I make the jump. Please let me know. Thank you

Currently I'm on Dark rom 8/27 build with the latest radio 05.45R and still havent had an issue. you should be good to go if you update with factory img.

Did you get the OTA update or did you flash it? Also, how's your connectivity? I had bad experience in the past after updating. Thanks!
I'm on 7.1.2 Pure Nexus (N6) and just made the jump from Sprint today. My number was ported by T-Mobile within 2 hours and the service is MUCH better. As a bonus, I can now call and use data simultaneously. Not possible on Sprint.
I've been a sprint customer since the early 1990s. That just goes to show how stupid I am ?
7.0 (Build NBD92G) is the current T-mobile supported build (but they sure don't say that anywhere on their website). T-mobile pushed that build several months ago to users on stock devices. I figure T-mobile has EOLed the Nexus 6 6 months before Google did, so plan to side-load the final 7.1 build when it drops next month.

I just bought a new unlocked Nexus 6 from Amazon. I would not have intentionally updated past the OS officially supported by T-Mobile, but during the setup, I accidentally upgraded it to Nougat 7.1.1. So far it is working great. This is the first Google phone I have ever used, and I like not having all the Samsung apps that I never use. It may be my imagination, but it seems to be running better than the Note 4 I was using.

This could be because Samsung has their own custom ui overlay "touchwiz" its been known to cause lag especially when the device is older and the software is back ported.
T-mo users, have you tried the latest 7.1.1? Since we just got the last update, I'm about to side-load. Any known issues on T-mo? I assume N6F27M is the one to go with?

Android One Moto X4 system update (performance and camera improvements?)

Apparently, an OTA update has been issued to the Android One Moto X4, which added the November security patch and supposedly improved stability and camera performance of the device. Is there anyone here with the Android One variant of the Moto X4 with this update, and if so, do you feel that this update has improved anything in the two above fields/what was said to be improved in the update changelog?
Just checked, no OTA available in my location atm. Hopefully soon. *I'll let you know when it does
Android One on Project Fi. Still on Sept patch. No updates available.
I have the normal Moto x4 variant. It came with the with November security patch, and performance and camera improvements. Update was about 120 mb or so. My x4 did see a sleight increase in performance and camera. I'm in the US. I received the update a couple of days ago. I know youre asking about the one variant but the updates shouldn't be too different right?
Protect fi version here. I got an update a few days ago, the camera no longer takes 5 seconds to take a picture.
I haven't really noticed anything different otherwise, I just really really miss my lg g5 camera
Moto X4 Android One.......Got my update this evening. Stability was never really an issue, but the phone does seem smoother now. Camera is faster. Haven't had much time to take pictures so can't speak about quality. Comes with Nov 1 security patch. Small update. Took about 30 mins to complete.

Yesterday I didn't have it, but I just re-checked today, and I got it now.
OTA is 90.6MB.
Just checked mine, UK model (XT1900-5) and still no update =(
this may be a really dumb question but i can't find the answer anywhere... is it possible to flash the stock android one rom on a normal x4?

Right now it does not seem to be a port available yet, it should be done soon, like it was done quickly on the Xiaomi Mi 5X from the Mi A1, but flashing directly through fastboot, is very risky, there is a high chance that it will fail and brick your device and there is another variable to take into account, the Android One is probably using A/B partitions, which I think the regular X4 is not, so a fastboot flash is again, very risky. We're still waiting on TWRP, once that is available, hopefully custom ROMs will start flowing =D this is just a couple month old device

Actually Retail x4 is also using A/B partitioning. so there's high chaance straight up system flashing will work.

Several have gone the other direction and flashed retail on an A1 model. At least one has returned to a Fi image afterwards, but by using a Flashfire backup as an official copy of the Fi firmware is not available yet. Something in the currently established bootloader unlock/root process screws up the OTA process, so that's something to be aware of. It'll get fixed eventually, but it's an issue for now.

Any oreo info

Did someone get oreo update in moto g5s plus? Anywhere in U.S OR ANY Other region

Android Oreo isn't available for Moto G5s Plus.
They pulled the release notes down a few hours after they put them up. No one in any region, except maybe some Lenovorola employees under heavy nda's has android oreo on a phone. Even then, it's more likely that it's being run on a virtual machine emulating the g5s plus. We may see it later this month, but it's probably going to be closer to the end of July, early August if at all.
I got a fresh news about moto g5s plus oreo update.
its coming soon with android 8.0 not 8.1 because i chat with Moto today some countries was strted getting oreo update. And it is going to start in india soon.?
Okay. So provide proof of what you say. Otherwise it's just more noise.

No it is not recommended unless you're a registered user of MFN. It might be possible you'll not get official final update as you previously side loaded the Soak Test which was not intended for you.

As I wrote in a reply to your other post, you probably will only get updates if you're actually selected for this soak test. It's not enough to just be part of the MFN, you should have received a survey and a link to the test forums if you were formally selected. Also, you should be getting this update direct from Motorola if you are selected.
If you are not part of this soak test, you may receive no updates unless Motorola releases the OPS28.49-2 update as the official update to Oreo.
I think oreo 8.1 is only for mfn user and all people will going to get a security patch of june not Oreo 8.1. I am saying this because of this video. Link is here
Few seconds ego i got my phone update. It's just june security patch not the oreo.it is just 78 mb update.
Today! I got June 2018 security patch in My Moto G5S Plus, where is Oreo ????

It's wherever it is. You people are doing a lot of crying in a bunch of threads. Nothing one can do but wait.
Or buy a G6 and complain down the line, "Where is P ????"

ROM discussion

Mention best ROM in your opinion you have ever used till date on MOTO G5S PLUS
Also please try to mention XDA link for your respective ROM .
Not to sound negative or unappreciative, but literally none of them have worked for me in the USA with Sprint as my carrier. If I try to change the carrier settings to work better (or at all) with Sprint, carrier services stops working completely until I reboot. This is the same with literally all the ROMs on this site. I don't know if they're using wrong or very region specific proprietary blobs when compiling or what, but it's the same thing with all the ROMs, including popular "unofficial" ROMs like Dirty Unicorns, LineageOS, etc. It's been a very disappointing experience after upgrading to the Moto G5S Plus from the Motorola Nexus 6 where I had so many more (working) ROM options available.
So, my answer would be the stock ROM. I recently flashed back to stock, unrooted Nougat, took the Oreo update, and since there really aren't any working ROMs available for me, I didn't even bother to root again. Sprint added a free 50GB/month wifi hotspot to each phone on my account and the Camera 2 API is active in Moto's stock Oreo ROM. Those were my two main reasons for rooting, and they're no longer needed. So, I'm just running stock Oreo with Nova Launcher.
