moto g kitkat - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
Been considering update to kitkat. Looked at some videos, it looks quite different to 4.4.2 on the Nexus 5.??
Moto G, appears to have a launcher no different from 4.3, It still shows apps & widgets in the App drawer not just all together,
Can anyone shed any light on this, the main differences (on the surface) of kitkat seem to have been omitted?
cheers

well this sucks. Guess I'll be rooting afterall. Had 4.4.2 a la Nexus 5 running on my Galaxy S2. It's a far better interface than the current launcher...

You can d/load the GEL launcher from the apps section on the moto g forum, had it running on mine for a while. I decided to wait until KK was out before committing. No root needed.

I get the 'problem parsing' error message. Tried resetting phone as suggested but it makes no difference :/ any advice? I did flash the retail version of the ROM too. but I don't think this is part of the problem

This is a MODDED App which includes More Libs and Functions modified by me.
ALSO This will be actively developed and extracted directly from K910 by me... i will work on it for sometime and as long as i am interested in it.
Happy Photography. ENJOY.
Thanks BSD and good luck for ur new project..
Works great on Xperia S ! So much reduced noise, can't stop zooming the pictures Thank you !!!
Edit: I am using a 4.1.2 chinese stock based rom, so I think there won't be any trouble for other stock based roms on xs
Just installing now. Changing permission of all those libs! Lol.

i've tried on samsung galaxy nexus with android 4.4.2 and it works. many functions! thank you very much!
Is there a special reason, that it doenst work on every device or rom...because it doenst work for my lg e975.
im new to this but how do you set these permissions
Thx for this mod.
It works great on Huawei P6, but i have the same problem as with original versions. I have no option to set the resolution, so i can only use 8MP in 4:3 on my Backcamera. For Frontcamera i can set the picture size.
could you think to do a flashable zip? we can install apk without problem, but if a user change rom often, it's a bit annoying copying and setting permission every time for all those lib files XD

the reason for manual copy-paste is to avoid unforeseen FCs or bootloops which might arise device to device and rom to rom. i will develop CWM version along with Manual Copy-Paste version in the coming Release, ofcourse with a warning note

Hi! Just want to ask, is there a possibility o work this on locked bootloader? Like on the Xperia SP and others. If someone can hijack the ramdis to make it load a costum rom... Is it possible or not?
Not sure if I have enough time to mess with AOSP on LBs, but it's possible for sure.
Im currently using this ROM for now. Days after, my eyes got a little bit dizzy due to small fonts.
Can you make this ROM to have a settings of font sizes and icons or whatsoever?

I was wondering do you have any plans to merge the new source into this ROM or are you waiting for GPS fix first?
Even in slimroms, only the nightlies have got 4.4.3 till yet not the stable built.
Secondly, do you plan on pushing official support for this ROM ?
yes plz
I don't know where to post, but is anyone working on the gps? Is this even fixable? Thanks

Very good job!
I installed this yesterday and seems to be working quite good and mostly smooth... For me even the GPS worked when I tried GPS test, without any mods...
Just a couple things I observed...1) It is quite resource hogging...the available RAM sometimes comes down to 150-200 MB, so, ROM becomes laggy...2) messaging application's thread/conversation seems to be especially slow...
But, in all "VERY GOOD JOB" please keep this up and make it even better...

This is the real miui suite, the launcher is just a normal launcher
Guys a request to you if you like the rom please rate it aswell on the miui forum if you want me to continue being in the porting team and enable ota updates
i need more ratings to enable those ota updates
My question: is this ROM ready for daily use? I'm a big fan of MIUI UI, but I need a bugless rom b'coz I'm using it for work.
Could u define ur daily use. For me this rom is working out quite well for last 2 days...
Okay. Music playing, internet&documents browsing, a lot of Skype and other communicators, some calls&SMS, sometimes Asphalt 8, rarely take a camera shot... And above all I hate when my phone is lagging. BTW. How's your battery?

Is there any possibility to change the Navigation key? I can't use Softkey.. Or any module to do this through wsm?

Sorry for late reply...
I have done all the above except asphalt 8 and Skype on this ROM yet. Battery is not bad, not as good as CM11 though. But, CM11 for me was exceptional. Hope this explains what you were askin for.
I have heard that gaming is not good on this ROM and I believe the reason is that there is not enough free RAM available.
Just to add numbers: Around 8 hours of usage seems to drain 10-15% of battery. Overnight 1-2% down.

Works on this?
Xperia L with locked bootloader.

[SCRIPT][MOD] -=Flag Tuner 1.1=- [UI][OEMS]

info:
*this is a script that removes any multitasking restrictions set by oems, such as samsung, sony, htc & lg.
*on my friends galaxy grand 2 running touchwiz it showed noticeable improvements in touch latency, eg touch home button and you go home faster.
*this also saves some battery as well as improving performance
*some users report that even installing this on custom ROMs shows noticeable performance improvements, so you should try it!
installation:
~ download script from attachments (right click > save link as)
~ rename to flag_tuner and copy to internal storage of device
~ from device copy to /system/xbin and set all permissions to yes
~ open terminal emulator and type: su -c flag_tuner
~ follow scripts instructions
~ reboot and then enjoy!
changelogs:
*1.0 ~ initial release
*1.1 ~ https://www.diffchecker.com/sd22uy33
credits:
~ @hoholee12 - this script is inspired by his sched_tuner
~ zep - code
~ luca - code & help
enjoy!

Thank you, yes theoretically it won't work on aosp or cm since they don't limit multitasking capabilities for reasons, but theres no harm in trying, besides maybe only 5-6 flags are disabled on cm, there might be some enabled ones, so install and give it a try

I havnt seen a decrease in battery life, maybe cause your playing around with your device more , so that's why the battery is experiencing more drain.

If yes, search for "android auto for phone" and install it side by side to the latest Android Auto . Not sure if this is the solution..

Merry Xmas, happy new year, and all I can think of is maybe you need to clear cache and data, hoping it will start working.. lastly- do you have another phone that works with the car ? Trying to eliminate car side, or cable issues..
