I recently bought a Moto G only to discover that my version (XT1033, the Dual SIM/16GB Brazillian version) doesn't have many (if any) custom ROMs avaiable (mostly because of dual SIM, I guess?).
Now, by lurking a bit I got mixed opinions.
Is it possible to successfully (with no serious bugs/issues) flash a custom ROM (say, Cyanogen 11) from a different version?
The idea I got is that Dual SIM won't work (since most custom ROMs are made for single chips). I don't really care about dual chip capability (I use only one), but I fear that I will brick/screw up my brand new phone.
I have a mild know-how on flashing/rooting and whatnot, my only problem is that Single/Dual SIM cards issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hello to all ! ( and sorry for my english ..)
I just buy a French Second hand moto g which i'm very happy with ... nevertheless the precedent owner installed the GPE edition quite easily.
Nevertheless this version doesn't support OTG (Usb on the go, so as to connect usb key), EAP-SIM( my internet provider propose SIM that connect automaticallt the phone in the Wifi of it's network) or more important for me .. the radio.
This is why i was wondering if those... differences were going to be soon be changed or not envisaged.
In the second option, how to come back to a non-GPe edition, or if i had interest to install Cyangemod 11 ?
All the guide for installing the non gpe installation tell to install a retail us version, will it have an impact from the french version ? And since i'm on linux, moto tools isn't working very well even with wine or cross over !
I know i have many questions but haven't found many interesting things that could help me. Thanks a lot .
Hi there,
I have been searching the threads for the last few days trying to find some sort of status on Dhackers cm11 rom for the XT1033, However there seems to be so much miss-information it's hard to decipher it all. What I want to know is the following:
Is dual sim support fully working yet?
Are there any bugs?
Custom Kernels that work with the dual sim variety?
Also on a side note is anybody aware of a place in New Zealand where I can get backdoor case for the Moto G? I've searched online and nothing seems to have turned up!
And yes I have read the FAQ, I'm not that stupid
dual sim is fully supported. some bugs are still there like boot screen lag, phone freezes sometimes etc. can't say about kernels.
here is a list of known issues

Heading to Europe in near future, and thinking to purchase a SIM for use in my SGH-i727. Haven't used this phone in a while, though I do recall I'd rooted and applied a custom ROM (dang I can't remember which flavor; iirc it's a stock but rooted 4.1.2).
Wondering if it's worth considering a more current, or alternative ROM for the phone b4 I leave? Thanks for any advice!
Hello
I am quite confused here due to all these versions and stuff, it would be nice if someone can clear up some of my confusion.
After searching here and there I realised that I should "convert" the dual sim XT1033 to GPE version and sacrifice on the dual sim part to install the ROMs.
I want to know if it's a reversible process? Is there a way I can make it go back to normal? (I am guessing flashing Stock firmware would do it but can someone confirm?)
Are there any ROMs I can install without making it to GPE and get the dual sim support? I have installed Crdroid but it's somewhat buggy for me also causing random reboots.
Can someone list out other ROMs that support Dual Sim on XT1033?
XT1033 is a dual sim variant. Most of the ROM's are for the single sim variant. So in order to flash those ROM's you need to convert your XT1033 to GPE by flashing Stock GPE OTA.
Yes you can revert back to use dual sim functionality of your phone by flashing Stock Firmware for XT1033.
CM11 (Dont know about CM12) ROM's and CM11 based ROM's does support dual sim, but you should check it out in the respective ROM's thread to be sure before flashing it
Currently there are many ROM's that support dual sim variant(XT1033). I personally use PAC MAN ROM running 4.4.4 KitKat and it works pretty well for me.
Thanks. Installed PAC Man ROM Everything looks fine.
I have been given an S7 SM-930FD [Dual Sim] that was supposed to be bricked. It won't load but I have successfully got it into download mode.
Can someone please provide links for the stock ROM and what they consider to be the best stable, custom ROM for use in the UK they have come across . I'd like the full set of AP,CP,CSC files.
Also, this may seem like a silly question but will the ROM for an SM-930F run on this phone, perhaps only using 1 sim [I will be putting a micro SD card in the other slot anyway.
Hope someone can help
Most stable custom ROMs are maybe superman room and on the edge.. as i know there is no difference when flashing if you have the dual SIM variant.
... And as i see there is nobody willing to do the job for you... So you have to use search
