I'm thinking of purchasing a moto g heading toward the GPE. Just want something to mess with here and there even though I don't really need it. I have a gs5 (at&t) which currently has nothing for now so I'd figure I'd buy a moto g since it's the best cheapest nexus like device out right now. With that being said..if I purchase a GPE Moto G will I be able to flash roms in the development thread? Is there any difference between the GPE and the orig. Moto g? Just want to know before I buy one.
Thanks in advance

just purchase the normal xt1032 moto g. it's cheaper than the gpe edition. you can also flash the gpe edition rom onto it if you unlock the bootloader. you will get updates and everything just like you would with the gpe edition. only difference is you need to have an unlocked bootloader

BUMP...same question. the dev is working on a version for the maxx, but says they are waiting on a new x to write it on which lends me to think it will work as is. i am sure somebody has done this. if not, can anyone speculate worst case scenario flashing without flashing stock moto x firmware?

You can use Eclipse. You have to use version 3.1.2. Flash it right over the Max's stock 4.4 system. I've tried it. It works perfect.

So I am planning to get a Moto G for my wife and I am wondering which edition to get. As I understand both the stock and Google Play editions are the same price. But will there be any benefits of one over the other if I plan to install a custom ROM on it anyway? Also you can flash Google Stock images on the normal Moto G? Is that correct? And also when you buy the phone from the Motorola website you choose which version to get the Global GSM or US GSM. which version will you get if you buy it from Google?

The Google Play Moto G is XT1032 (the global gsm model). As I understand, you can easily convert the normal one from motorola (either global or US gsm) to a play edition rom if you want to. See the Mototool thread in the original development section of this forum for details on how to do so. As for custom roms, both versions (xt1034, xt1032, and xt1032 GPE) are fully supported by all roms as far as I can tell (please, I would be happy if someone would correct me if I'm wrong about that). I'm personally happy with my 16GB US version running stock kit kat with xposed framework and a number of modules.
I want the moderator to ban me.

This is a question meant for the q/a thread. If you had read the stickies, you would have had your answer.
Anyways, you'll have to first unlock your boot loader and then flash a custom recovery like TWRP. After that flash SuperSU zip.
How to find if i have google play edition moto g or not?
Thx in advance x
Not really sure about it, but if you have FM radio app installed then you don't have GPe.
Im running paranoid rom, not stock and thats the problem
I bought my phone from Tesco UK maybe this says something about version?
You can only buy GPE directly from Google.
Thanks for help

That is almost in possible.. But im not an expert.
Even Moto G (2013) cannot boot Jelly Bean if the Bootloader has been updated. This is due to changes to the Kernel, and how it, and Bootloader interrelate. In theory, a custom Kernel by a skilled Dev might make it possible.
