Hi Guys,
I would like to do a full backup image by using TWRP Recovery, any idea?
+1!
No, it's not, and if this device does not come to the US on a carrier, it's probably dead in terms of development. It is currently looking like this is going to be the case, as the G Pro 2 Lite is looking like it will get a US launch.
Sad day for great hardware, but that's what happens with LG.
IF kernel sources are released, then it can be built, but I don't know the status of the G Pro 2 kernel sources.

It's starting to look like the Pro 2 is going to get very little in the way of development. :crying:
Fortunately the software's already pretty damn good - but it would be nice to have the option...
The bootloader is locked and there no way until now to loki it, so I think it's very hard to build a custom recovery for G pro2
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.

Why bump this thread when it's being discussed [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2856347]here[/URL] and was explained in detail [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57490377]here[/URL]?
Sorry, didn't see this.
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.
I guess moto x pure will not have Android N, Android O is coming:crying:
I have waiting for a long time, moto still let me wait. I think moto is dying, it will be my last moto phone.
What are you on about dude? They are currently soak testing N and.while it may be later than you like boohoo..

lol... Your inexperience is showing here. The Moto X getting Nougat has nothing to do with Android O, we will get it within the next few months but it will likely be our last upgrade.
Other newer Moto devices will get O, probably towards the end of the year or early next year.
If you want consistent, regular updates and constantly be on the latest and greatest then buy a Pixel. End of story, nothing else will get you better.

What are you talking about? There are literally dozens of Nougat ROMs in the forums. I am currently running Resurrection Remix and their ROM is pretty stable on 7.1.1. I haven't had any issues with it and it's super smooth and fast. Try it!

I somewhat agree with you. Am on latest Lineage build with boot.img fix and everything is working fine.
But you can't argue against, "Stock Moto is best Moto."
Moto's stock ROM usually have best performance and battery life.
P.S: They improved battery life in Soak Test. There's very little battery drain when phone is idle. Also the phone doesn't get heat up much when multitasking.
Unified reply:
The third party ROM does not have Moto's unique features, power consumption and instability.

Tell me, how is your in call volume mate, can you change it? Are you really sure everything is working fine? How about wave over the screen to wake the phone?
For someone that's a small issues but I rather stay on MM and wait for stock ROM.

FYI, Yes. I can change Call volume without any problem. Also Audio and Mic are working perfectly fine.
"wave over the screen to wake the phone" - I guess, you meant AMBIENT DISPLAY.
Well, in your words, Yes, I can wave over the screen to wake the phone.
Am currently on Lineage 03/20 build with fixed boot.img from the dev.
and before that I was on 02/13 build which was just as stable as stock ROM.
Maybe you should look around in forum a bit more.
use custom rom or have patience

Yeah I'll admit the battery life isn't the greatest but it's also not that bad. At least there's the option for Nougat if one desires it
Moto X Pure/Style will not get Android O - ever. It's doubtful whether it will get anything other than 7.0 to be honest .

Oh, it will get Android O, and probably P, maybe even Q too... But not officially or from Moto. Look at the Moto G (original one) it is 3 or close to 4 years old, and it is still supported by developers, you can get Nougat on it and will likely get O as well.
And why should Moto continue to support it? This phone is a getting close to 2 years old, there is no logical reason for Moto to continue supporting a platform that is getting beyond it's normal life cycle.

Keep dreaming if you think that'll happen. 7.1.1 is already out for many devices not to mention O aka Oreo for Nexus devices. Lenovo/Motorola is garbage and we all know this. That's why we all stop supporting these two garbage companies so they can go out of business.

Read my post again... I am talking about 3rd party ROMs... We will get 7.0 from Moto, already know that and it will be the end.

HAHA! I think so!
Custom Rom
You know what I think Lenovo is never going the moto x android N in non US countries it is apparently out in Latin America
But If you want the rom just install Lineage OS they have a decent battery life for a custom and the device runs perfectly fine no bugs no lag nothing
A perfect Android N rom for almost all Motorola devices
I am trying my first custom ROM so please help.
I have Moto x Pure Edition XT 1575 on Android 6.0. I have not done anything to my phone yet and this is the first time I am trying. Would you please let me know the exact steps to root, flash and install custom ROM on my phone?

No need to root the stock rom if you're just going to wipe it and flash a custom rom. The steps you need to follow are:
1) Unlock bootloader if not already done (note unlocking will automatically wipe the device, so backup files appropriately first)
2) Use fastboot to flash TWRP
3) Make a full backup in TWRP (don't skip this step as it can save you a lot of trouble if things go wrong)
4) Wipe and flash your custom rom. Flash gapps before booting in to the new rom too if you want Play store, etc.
5) Some roms aren't pre-rooted any more. If you want root, I recommend Magisk.
Details on how to do all this are spelled out step by step in Heisenberg's guide. Just do not root using the method in there. As I mentioned above, you don't have to root the stock rom just to replace it with a custom. However, if you feel the need to root the stock rom just flash Magisk. Don't flash that custom boot image it links to; that was a hack from the early days of systemless root that we no longer need.
Back when i was messing around with my Moto X Pure...i tried all the Mm roms at the time. Always found stock rom the smoothest and best battery life and most to my liking. A year or so later....it still has amazing battery life and nearly 2 days of standby time. It even outperforms my LG V10 even after replacing the battery.
And Android 8.0 is Octopus...apparently... not Oreo.....the dev preview build that is out has an Octopus logo thing in it now.
Its been about year now, and 5 month in some countries, that nokia 6 launched, but no one has developed any single rom for nokia 6, even naugat roms, yeah we are using upto date naugat but custom roms are faster and with more features, with more abilities, official oreo also lauched on 4th October with pixel 2, but no one has developed or developing oreo....yeah its coming to nokia 6 by this month but if any dev would be developing any oreo rom for nokia six then we must be enjoying it, with faster performance, the custom roms are too fast then a stocked rom.....
So its my kind request please develope custom rom for this phone too..
Thanks
I agree it has been really disappointing that there has been no custom roms however the reason simply lies with two things; firstly the phone wasn't a major seller meaning it's community isn't anywhere near as large as other phones, secondly the phone didn't have any good rooting tools meaning that it was as near as impossible to make a rom that works. Even worse news is that a 2018 variant is rumoured to be in the work with different internals meaning if someone can't find a way of forcing user roms on it, the devices days are numbered, I mean look how tardy Nokia has been with updates already on its release year!
But still, even the last 4 nokia android phone namely nokia x,x+,xl and x2 dual sim, all were having good custom roms, even lumia 520 was also booted to android, then why this phone can't, if devs can boot a windows phone to android then they can develop anything, the thing is they need to work on it
simply because the bootloader isn't unlocked yet by Nokia .
Nokia said that they will provide bootloader unlock with the Oreo update.
There are many reasons for the almost nonexistent development right now. One being that there isn't any unlock tool. Secondly Nokia is yet to release sources too. Both these factors play a major role in custom ROM development.
Let's hope that they unlock and release sources, otherwise we're at a dead end

this is bcoz of two simple reasons.
