Note from Nvidia about drivers
Hello Android Development Community
We appreciate all the interest and passion surrounding the NVIDIA Tegra Platform and we take our support for the development community seriously. NVIDIA has been working with Google and Motorola to provide the open source community with the required drivers and other binary code to build full Android OS images for the Tegra 2 powered "Motorola Xoom". We expect Google to make those components available as part of the Android Open Source Project soon.
In addition, NVIDIA is working on a full release of Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) for our Tegra 2 Dual Core and Tegra 3 Quad Core reference devices to be made available early next year. This release package will comprise of binary code, drivers developed on our reference platforms and any patches necessary to ensure stability & performance with ICS. We hope the open source community can leverage this release for their work on all Tegra devices.

On another note: I just pulled the new fonts from this and pushed them to my phone. I must say, the new Roboto front is GORGEOUS. A real upgrade to the default android font we've become so familiar with.

Exactly, which is why Cyanogenmod is not doing anything with it until the source comes out. I hope that it is soon.
ICS would be fantastic on this device. Eventually we'll get it, I have faith in our developers!
But Dec seems so far away, after watching the preview videos of ics it was clear that it's a worthy upgrade. Miles ahead of ios5
I don't know anyone else's results but I made up a hybrid of this and the stock rom (basically combined the two without overwriting files. So any LGE proprietary files were still there) but it didn't work. Bootloops after the initial LG screen. I'm thinking boot.img for some reason but haven't unpacked it yet. Anyone else have any ideas?

You mean you placed the new ICS system apps and combined it with the stock GB?
I think the system apps from ICS would use API's not supported in GB and hence would bootloop.

No. I extracted the stock Tom and the system dump. I modified the 4.0 build.prop, used the stock boot image and then.merged the stock rom into the 4.0 rom, not overwriting existing files. basically just adding stock files. this gives it the ril specified in build.prop, etc. I was hoping to at least get to the second boot screen so I could use logcat but no go.
Hi,
"Have you ever wondered why stock ROMs performs so well on benchmarks compared to AOSP ?"
That's somehow due to closed source dalvik optimizations that cannot be integrated on AOSP.
Qualcomm optimized dalvik have been extracted from MotoX and made available for Krait devices, have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47914216
Have tested dalvik patch on ville's latest CM11 without issues so far. Not only benchmarks are boosted but overall performance seems slightly better!

Isn't this irrelevant since Android is moving away from Dalvik and to ART?

Not irrelevant yet. Dalvik is still better than ART for most usecases until Google and app developers optimize it. I'm sure Qualcomm will have its own art as well eventually,
I second that, ART is still experimental and instable; benefit from using it is for now not significant, moreover with this patch.
In fact, with this patch Dalvik is faster than ART. I suppose ART will supersede Dalvik in performance in the future, but not yet.

I have been using Custom Rom's for a while. But this is usually to bring a phone up to the latest possible Android version well after the manufacturer has stopped updating a device . I have been using Nexus devices so typically this is 18 months after a model is first introduced. Bit of a sore point with me coming from iPhones which get supported for much longer period. but I digress.
In the case of the Moto G. I question whether it is beneficial ATM to install a custom ROM? I have tried a couple, but have been quite disappointed up till now with reliability and performance.
So for now I have stayed with the standard Moto G Rom. Then tweaked it a little by doing the following.
1. Unlocked the phone
2. Rooted using TWRP (couldn't get CWM to work right)
3. Eliminated the Unlocked warning screen at start up :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548530
4. Changed the 3G data to H, H+ format :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600654
5. Installed Qualcomm-optimized bionic and dalvic from here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/4-4-4-4-x-qualcomm-optimized-dalvik-t2546120 (thanks @drfr )
6. Installed a new Faux123 Kernel, flcon_umts-faux123-kk-005u-signed.zip from here :- http://faux.romhost.me/falcon_umts/kk44/
7. From Play store installed the xposed installer
8. From Play Store added module Gravity box (KK)
9. From Play Store added module Ringer & Notification Volume
10. Installed the Apex launcher
11. From Play Store purchased Faux123 Kernel Enhancement Pro (couldn't find a free tool that worked!)
Result is a very stable ROM together with most of the little tweaks that I like to get from a Custom ROM. Plus everything works great. The current Antutu result is 19860.
So my general question, what is the advantage of using a Custom Rom, when for at the moment at least, the manufacturers ROM is fully up to date and with a few simple tweaks provides Custom Rom like appearance, together with great stability and performance?
As far as I know, the stock rom has a lot of optimizations for the Moto G hardware. For instance, its based on F2FS which is something the GPE Moto G does not have going for it.

That´s exactly the way I see things too. Played around with custom ROMs for a while and then came back to stock + all the enhancements you mentioned. Just a note to the point 5 of your list. Optimized dalvik and bionic are already included in stock ROMs.
I have this way of thinking too. So just going through the steps 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 and 10. My phone is excellent.

Thank you, I didn't know that, funny but I could swear that Antutu improved! I am still trying to decide if Point 6. Faux123 is really worth it. The 1.6gh/z over clocking is working and I am still getting two days of average use per charge. Can't decide either way really......
Same here, at this point, custom roms (non stock based) are non sense, since the stock is almost Aosp and updated as hell. Xposed is all you need.

All you need is Xposed, Faux kernel and the optimized Dalvik :S

Correct me if I am wrong but the stock roms from moto are equipped with the Qualcomm-optimized bionic and dalvik patches, aren't they?
If not where can I find this patches?

Great antutu result. Mostly due to the overclock. CM based roms doesnt have working overclock yet.
Im far away from that 19860 antutu score, any tips? I installed faux kernel and optimizers from qualcomm and cant get even close to 18000.

True. But its for now and that is because this is a brand new phone also with multiple variants like 1031/2/3
Hence creating a kind of obstruction for a successful ROM dev
Furthermore you don't just dev a ROM to get an Android update.
Its for the different features that people are looking for.
You might wanna try xposed modules.
Hell l0tta options there. Not for now but then for future.
Also then small little tweaks from other phones can be ported to this one.
There are just countless things that you can customize once you are rooted.
I had a Galaxy Ace duos CDMA which had no custom ROM.
But once I got it rooted my phone was so much better.
I had an extended internal memory with my SD card.
The bloatware that covered the small little internal memory was completely removed.
And it was so much faster and Functional with those rooted apps.
If that small little phone could do some magic with rooting.
Then this is a beast.
Half the new functionality that we get on the updates are actually the features of apps that work on rooted phones.
Wifi hotspot for an instance.
Agreed that in the current scenario its really not so useful but rooting your phone is a gift to yourself

How you guys were able to use Faux with Dalvik? Faux only works on my phone with ART. If i try Dalvik, com.android.phone force closes all the time. I also have tried the new dalvik, no luck either.
And that prevents me to use XPosed, cause it doesn't have an ART version. And i really miss GravityBox...
Can someone explain me how to do it?

I understand AOSP ROMs doesnt have wifi calling feature, which is carrier specific feature baked into the kernel itself.
But, since I live in a deadzone area for T-mobile, this is pretty important and I dont want to miss my Nexus 5 for this reason.
Is there any custom ROM (touchwiz) one which is compatible with Nexus 5? any ports for S4/S5, available for Nexus 5?
I would love to get that ROM as my one of the multiboot option, so that I can switch to that when I am at home to make/receive calls.

Well if it is baked into the kernel, a port wont help. When a ROM is ported to a new target device, it must use the target devices kernel
kernel can be "not-shared" right?!

well, I think with multi-boot kernel doesn't have to be shared right?!
currently i have stock with franco kernel and L-preview with default OS kernel.
Since kernel is software, i believe the port could come with its own kernel which supports the wifi calling feature? am I wrong?!

No idea, but either way, it would be a Nexus Kernel. A Samsung kernel wouldn't boot, even if it didnt brick your device

Kernels aren't ported. ROMs are ported and use device specific kernels. So yes, you are wrong

I am not saying porting the kernel. but in a way it could be implied that (as I am saying ROM coming with its own kernel which is compatible with the device)
I am wondering some kernels are built for both AOKP, AOSP and Touchwiz versions of Androids
see this for example. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297379
I guess its probably because S4 have both google play edition as well as touchwiz edition.
I wish Nexus 5 supports wifi calling as part of its kernel.
Some guys started this intitiative, but doesnt seem it will be reality
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/wip-1400-bounty-port-t-mobile-wifi-t2012468
anywa, thank you for the reply and correcting me.
I think what you're failing to grasp is that they can use the same kernel because it's the same phone.. Kernels are an interface between the rom and the hardware. You cannot use a kernel from another device on our device as it will brick.. It's not a question of what rom you're using. It's a question of what hardware you're using.
The only way to get a kernel function from another device is to know the source code, but since its proprietary I'm guessing the code isn't available.

no, tmobiles WiFi calling is not possible on a nexus 5, unless tmo makes it compatible with it. its more than just a kernel feature(as we also don't have access to the source, so we can't grab it), it is also framework changes. you can use other WiFi calling apps and services though.
thanks!

got it. I didnt know kernels are device specific 100%. Always used to think its some software which is written to understand any camera, any cpu, any RAM etc. but now i got clarity.
what options are out there for people who are on deadzones, but still want the ability to make calls?
I think i can give my google voice number to all my friends and start receiving calls via hangout (not sure if that is possible yet) without any network.

Do you think that this could help with someone baking it into a custom kernel? My girlfriend just got this phone and thought that it had wifi calling on it. Hopefully this can help!!

I have been running Paranoid Android 5.0.2 and keep having battery life issues. I have trimmed my apps down and even re-enabled the SystemUpdateService for the Google Play Framework which doesn't help. The service also keeps automatically being disabled. Another issue I have is lack of xPrivacy on this version in addition to various OS 'quirks'.
What is the recommended 5.1 ROM for this device that does work with the newer versions of xPosed/xPrivacy?

AFAIK all ROMs work with Xposed except TeamEOS (bootloop) and Temasek (you need a modified version of Xposed). Xprivacy works well now on 5.1.

Is there a recommended ROm that does not add much bloat to the stock OS? That is why I chose Paranoid to start with. It is not stock but yet doesn't add a bunch of unnessesary things.

Try by yourself. Screenshots are useless as long as you know what are the main features. You can apply layers or themes (ROM related) if you want custom UIs.
