I am looking to get a moto g (t-mobile version) and I wonder if it is possible to install amazon appstore on it.
If it is possible, can someone provide a simple steps-by-steps guide for it?

It is. I personally didn't have any problems at all with it, I just had to do the usual: enable "Allow unknown sources" in Settings, download the APK from Amazon's website using Chrome, then install.
Some people have experienced trouble getting APKs to sideload but that's not been been my case.

I was wondering if it's possible to modify system files (build.*) to let the system identify as unbranded and receive regular Motorola updates and Google Play access.
My tablet is TIM (Telecom Italia Operator) and has somehow Play Store locked. Many, many applications are marked as "incompatible" (don't know why), therefore i can't even find them on the market; i can, however, install (and smoothly run) them manually downloading the .apk.
For example, I wanted to change the launcher: the ONLY ONE showed in play store is Go Launcher HD. I cannot even accesss my SIM (Vodafone) operator Play Market zone, which is showed on my unbranded Xperia S.
So I reached the conclusion that branded firmware restricts store usage.
Is that possible?
P.S. I have MZ616 (32GB + 3G version)
maybe root and flash a custom rom? would this fix your problem??
It's probably not possible until someone gets a custom recovery or bootstrap for the xoom2/xyboard to be able to flash custom roms. It might be possible to modify build.prop, but because we are on honeycomb a lot of apps show as incompatible on the market.

Indeed there aren't custom roms for Xoom 2. My idea was to fake a "prior update" no-brand firmware to get an unbranded full update... if there is any.
I fear that's not possible though....
Hello, I read in xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xyboard-development/15625-recovery-8 that an user is doing some tests of recovery .... maybe someone could help him.
a proposito anche io ho un brand tim
Some improvements
Hello to all,
Searching every day the web and hoping to find new and useful informations.
For now i have change the governor to ONDEMAND with voltage control and it seems a new tablet.
No freezes no reboots and no lags.
I'm not fully convinced with the stock honeycomb launcher...seems heavy and laggy.
Is it possible that no one had optimized it?
What launcher do you all have?
and how's the default governor?
Hi guys, im thinking about to get a moto G recently, however i found out that google play has Google Play Edition and the Motorolla USA website has this global eidition. I am wondering wat would be the differences between them, and which one i should go for it if i would like to play with some of these custom roms from this forum.
Thanks

google edition consists of pure stock rom as the one you would find on nexus devices but global one would consist of motorolla bloatware..
Hi all,
I've tried googling around and searching the forums here for this question but I can't seem to find the exact scenario I'm looking for. Sorry if it's a bit of a noob question.
I recently bought an unlocked Moto G 4G from Amazon (Moto's edition, not GPE) and I'm currently using it on T-mobile. When Lollipop is eventually released, will I receive an OTA update from Google? Or will I receive it at all? I ask because I know T-mobile doesn't actually offer the Moto G so I can't imagine the update coming from them. I'm just wondering if I'll have to do some work myself to get it on the device or if I'll get something automatically.
Thanks for any help.

The first part of your question Iv answered in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56290476&postcount=274
The second half of your question is if you bought it from a retailer sim free you will get an update direct from Motorola
In about phone if it says peregrine_ret then your country then it's the retail version
You can also check the Motorola website as it will list release date when they announce it

You will get it directly from Motorola, at the same time as all the other retail moto Gs in your part of the world.

My phone does say peregrine_ret under about phone. So that would mean I'll get an update from Motorola when they release their Lollipop version for the G, right? Thanks for your help!

You should do long as you are on stock rom and don't have any xposed modules which break otas installed but you can always flash a fresh stock rom if that is the case in order to upgrade
good day,
I was going through the apps installed on my phone and found com.tracker.t as a downloaded app. I searched here and on google play but cannot find any info on this. I'm sure I did not download it unless it is part of another app.
does anyone know what this app does and where it came from?
thanks in advance
Dear vega509;
Could you share the OS information and verdor (maker) ?
(eg. android 5.0 / 5.1 / 6.0 / ...)
Thanks.
thanks for the reply cpizza00,
android 5.02, Blu Studio 6HD stock build, non rooted
com.tracker.t shows in the downloaded apps, but not in the app drawer
Maybe you downloaded it from the internet somewhere ago. From the name, I'm afraid that it's an adware.
Are you able to uninstall it?

I heard my brother found it from the Verizon network a week ago.
(US celluar & LRA didn't happened)
Just found this thread via a Google search. Have the same app installed on my LG V20 (US unlocked), running 7.0 Nougat (on AT&T network). I also had a problem with having to disable the app "Mobile Services Manager" & also a few random games that somehow got installed on my phone after I put in my AT&T SIM card. Really really weird...

Not sure it will help but I have a xt2163-6 and do have the firmware for it. You should inquire if it's different than the xt2163-4, which it probably is. I'm going to look back and see if I can find where I downloaded the firmware I have because I think I remember seeing the firmware for the model you have also
