A new version of 4.4.2 will soon come out and its going to be 64bit, do you guys think the Moto G will also get the 64 Bit update?

No.
Read MSM8x26 specs, and then look at your question (Snapdragon 400 SoC doesn't support x64 ...)

Ok, sorry I didnt know that. Too bad, would a 64bit os be better for smartphones anyway?

Yes and no,
for a device like ours with less than 1GB of ram it is mostly useless,
for higher end device, it could be interesting though
(to complete previous post, we have a MSM8226)
It will be a year or more until a 64 bit processor will be able to be fully utilized. Phone manufacturers and app developers both have to get on board.

I recently found that my tablet, which does not support OTA updates, has a stock 4.4.2 ROM available for download. The only problem is that I'm not entirely sure on how to actually flash a new ROM to my device. From my understanding I do not need to unlock my bootloader to flash a stock ROM (correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm not sure what to do beyond that. If it helps my tablet is a Ceros Revolution with a Rockchip RK3188 quad core processor, and isn't rooted. Also, will it delete my data off the tablet? Thanks in advance!

The problem is that I'm pretty sure I'm one of the only owners of this tablet, there is almost nothing for it anywhere on the internet.

Well, the title basically explains it all. I love Android L, but I can't get it onto any of my devices as CM12 is only available on the popular devices, like the S4 and S5. When will it be ported to the A2? Thanks!

Officially I doubt it, despite Motorola recently been into updating their older phone line-ups. The dual core phones are showing their age. To be honest, the custom CM12 roms for this device would be more beneficial than an official update. I've got it on my LG G2 and it's very good, it'll be interesting to see if the speed improvements translate over to this model of phone as good as it has for this device.

Yeah, custom ROMs would be the way for this device. But yeah, I doubt anyone's gonna port CM12 to this device. It's old already..
Bump.
No android L for me then.

Sorry, didn't see this.
I know this sounds noobish, but can't we use files from other phones that have the same hardware? For example, MotoG (which runs the same chipset - s400, which has an integrated modem) already has official lollipop.

I'm waiting for one max by AT&T to get lollipop to try using its files to fix our lollipop rom.
xXminiWHOOPERxX and lawsuits are our only hope for Lollipop.
One Max started to recieve Lollipop in Taiwan! XD

Hi everyone. I was wondering, now that Nougat is rolling out to the Moto G4's, would there be a possibility of a stock version being ported to the G3's. I have no idea of whats involved, and I'm only asking the question in case some of the developers might think it would an interesting project. If it cant happen due to hardware differences, sorry for asking
Pretty sure this question was asked a week or so ago, but I am too lazy to find the thread and link it... And no, it is isn't possible yet. The G4 that is getting the update is too different hardware-wise from the our device to be of use and it will take a few months before the kernel source is released. Still, the differences are big with the G4 being 64-bit and our device being 32-bit, that a port is not likely.

I have a query. It's off topic, based on Lineage OS. But when you are saying about porting ROMs, well... the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus also have different hardware. How can the same LineageOS distribution?

True, but we have the source code for LineageOS, we don't for Moto stock and never will except the kernel.
When we build any custom ROM we need the device tree and the source code... Porting binaries is different and they need to have roughly the same architect at least.

That's not true. Both Moto G3 and G4/G4 Plus have Cortex A53 cores (64 bits) but both phones run 32-bit Android. But I agree with you, porting stock ROM (N or MM) is nearly impossible.
Maybe if Nougat arrives to Moto G4 Play (which has the same SD410 SoC as our Moto G3), we can port it but I'm not sure.
Motorola is known for putting 32-bit OS on some (most?) of their G-series phones. Is it same this time around? Is the Android Pie on this 32-bit or 64-bit? I know Google has killed of 32-bit app support for Android Pie. Does this mean Android Pie also need to be 64-bit? Need to confirm if we can use certain 64-bit only apps/mods.

Kidding us bro!
Moto G8 pluse with 4GB ram and snapdragon 665 seems to be 32bit?!!!
It's not too powerful (as snapdragon 855+ is)but it's 64bit
32bit phones are going to death

Even if processor is 64 bit, Motorola is notorious for putting 32-bit OS. So want to confirm before buying.

Don't think that Company have such folish idea!
its just imposible bro!
Check in the g7+ forums what it was. If the g7+ was 64 bit, then would expect this one is 64 bit too.
But yes I too know from experience, the G5+ has a 64 bit processor but 32 bit OS.

Can you confirm if the phone uses eMMC 5.1 or UFS 2.x storage?
emmc by the looks of it .. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Motorola-Moto-G8-Plus-smartphone-review-Mobile-phone-with-action-cam.442877.0.html
It is eMMC according to Antutu.
Moto G7 Power any different?
Do you know if the G7 **Power** is also running 32-bit software? I haven't found the answer here but figured it's worth a shot to ask if you know whether the entire G7 family was built running the same bit level.
