Reason for poor development on Moto G? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a Moto G when it had gotten really popular I thought development would be great on it. Its been anything but great.
Is Motorola the reason for it? Like are they not providing all the tools that the devs need? Or there are simply not enough good devs working on the phone?

Motorola is providing optimized software which is more than enough for most of users and devs...
Also you have official supports for some famous roms..
If development means porting touchwiz and sense themed roms then sorry.. You might never see that happening..

Poor? We have FAUX KERNEL! Also we have many good devs working for ROMs like Quarx and many more..
But yeah, stock roms is very good, so not everyone want custom rom
Buy some cheap chinese phone, then you know what is poor developement..

There is no stable CM, most custom ROMs have terrible audio quality. I came from the Nexus S so my frame of comparison is not a Chinese phone.

Quarx CM11 is stable if you ask me. And about audio quality, i never had such problems ( i use V4A though )

crDroid should be stable enough. Just notice that bugs with xposed are not supported

Ya using an audio mod is a different thing, out of the box most roms have significantly worse audio than stock rom and devs just don't seem to give a damn about that.
Officially CM is still stuck at M6.

I found that in my case custom ROMs have a much better audio quality than stock, but that's just my experience.

Poor development? There is almost every ROM available for the Moto G. Officially or Unofficially. I was looking for a ROM to build, but after going through countless forums, I still couldn't find much that isn't already there for the Moto G. The developers are active too. What more could you ask for?

Having a ROM and having a good ROM are 2 different things. I have used CM which was never stable and I have used Gummy ROM which had poor audio. I made a thread asking for a stable ROM with stock like audio and people said there is no such thing. Is that not enough?

If you are that much of an audiophile why did you choose a mid-level phone?

Who said anything about being an audiophile? Expecting custom roms to have at least as good sound quality as the stock out of the box experience is not being an audiophile.
Mind you the Moto G has one of the best audio quality of 2013 phones. It's better than a lot of flagships.

Well audio is notably lower in loudness when compared to stock. Short to say, its degraded from stock rom. It's not a matter of low end mid end high end phone.

Mint jelly and nottachs xposed app talk.

Here we can talk about anything you want thats based on mint jelly or nottachs exposed app.We can discuss settings,batteries,kernels,we can argue,make friends,make enemies,whatever just PLEASE HAVE FUN
I'm a huge fan of KT kernel and currently have it on my S3 with CM ROM. Monday my new S4 arrives and I'm thinking of sticking with semi stock Rom. mint came up on the list if highly regarded and compatible (even packaged with KT)
Two q for you
1. Do all the Sammy features work in mint like dual camera and that ir remote etc...
2. Any chance you can share your settings file for KT and give an idea how is your battery life and performance with min/KT... Of course I know battery life is not the same for everyone so just wondering about your experience.
Thanks dude.

1. All the Samsung features are left intact and working for me. It's the awesome camera app that's making it tough for me to go AOSP. He removed the AT&T bloat only.
2. I'm running KT's settings in post three of his thread for the kernel. I'm not seeing anymore lag issues and battery has improved over stock. I'm very happy with it.
i'm also running kt kernel and his recommended settings and it's been amazing so far. Also love the trinity colors set to cold (more blues).

ohh yea i forgot about that, but i dont know that rom has xposed built in and it was made around nottachs app working so it might,they just updated it today to MF4 and i saw somewhere that someone had it working ona MF4 build i think,you cant even dl the newest build right now so slow there tring to get mirrors up
I may give foxhound a try. I tested jedi and haven't gone back to mint jelly after applying kt's kernel and switching the contacts apk with the one in mint jelly. Jedi is really snappy and I am also running nottach's xposed mod.

[Q] Multi-compatibility

I'm just wondering if there is another phone build that is compatible with the XT897 (i.e. there aren't very many available ROMS for this phone so could I try to install a ROM for lets say the RAZR build on the Photon?
What ROM were you looking for?
If it's built from source, rebuilding it for the Q would be a better idea, and really not that difficult.
I think we've got plenty of ROMs. CM10.2,Liquid Smooth,PacMan and Carbon. I'm still waiting for Liquid Smooth 3x.
Sent from my MZ601 using Tapatalk 4
There is a family of MSM8960 phones (Photon Q, Razr M, Razr HD, Atrix HD). If a ROM port exists for one of them, it will be easy to port, but has to be slightly reconfigured. In short, you cannot flash other phones ROM directly.

Right now I'm running cm10.2(nightly) on 4.3 os and I love it! I just like taking different ROM's and playing with them. The phone that i had before this one was the Nexus S 4g which was probably one of the most amazing phones I've ever had and I miss it dearly(got water-damaged) because of the fact it was compatible with almost any ROM I found. Even had GS3 stuff running on it at one point. SlimRom was my favorite but I have been wanting to try out paranoidAndroid and the like but wasn't sure if it was compatible with the photon Q. I do like Carbon as well.

There's a few tweaks the Q needs. Again, if you have a ROM you want that there is source available for - it can probably be rebuilt for the Q from source.

Overclock is a kernel thing. You can do that on any ROM.
I just Googled Photosphere (had no idea what it was ) and it says a 4.2 feature? Most of the 4.2 ROM's should have it, I would think the 4.3 ones would as well, although they are maturing obviously.

any AOSP roms in the works?

Not sure which section this would go in so sorry if it's the wrong one.
Loving the M8 to death probably the best phone I've ever owned other than my gnex but would love to see some AOSP roms. Don't really care for sense and would love more of a lightweight Rom like AOSP. I feel we would get better performance as far as speed and battery life as well.
So is anyone working on one? Or need any testers?
Do you think an AOSP Rom would be perfect for the M8?
The ROM section(s)? GPE edition comes out in 4 days, I'm sure there will be some ports relatively quickly after that.
There is a GPE port and CM11. They aren't perfect yet but you can run them. Aren't too hard to find if you look around.

Well I can't post in the Rom section and the way it sits gpe isn't a daily driver nor has it been updated since the first alpha release. Not a fan of cm but good to hear it's coming. Just tired of sense holding this phone back.
The GPE port works okay other than some lag and the camera is annoying but works. They were saying to look in those sections not post there. Once CM11 is working I'm sure we'll see more but for now those are the options.

I do not consider CM to be asop. GPE yes, which I hope gets updated to fix the camera and what not because I can't use a Rom with a non stable camera. And I've already checked the Rom section or I wouldn't 've posting asking just saying. I'll just sit back and wait for something which I'm sure is coming sooner than later. I may end up
Brewing an asop Rom myself. Thanks for the input though guys!
To be clear - when I say GPE, I'm referring to the actual phone (One M8 Google Play Edition, ships on the 9th), not the ROM posted in the Android development forum.
Also, I literally just picked up this phone about an hour ago, and while I'm a huge fan of "stock," HTC has done an incredible job with this release.

I definitely agree HTC stepped their game up with sense 6 and keeping it's bloatware to the minimum. That being said I still prefer straight stock asop for its speed and battery not to mention I hate clutter. Also congrats on the new m8 which I'm sure you'll love. I love mine too that's why I didn't wait for the gpe device.

http://d-h.st/5Xs <-- from the dev himself but this version doesnt flash with twrp unless you know how to remove the asserts from the updater script .. i flashed this with Philz cwm recovery in the original dev section
https://mega.co.nz/#!8VEUDACD!n5nfBQYRnFymOup9NUxaAr0p7ZzrFvyf6jtX6wVMEDI <--- this version is what someone else posted .. said its the same rom just with the asserts already removed so that it works with twrp without having to do anything special
REMEMBER go download KK Gapps ... i recommend the stock normal Gapps .. i tried PA Gapps first and it kinda wasnt running right
themes i used were a combo of Moonshine (playstore free) and Black moonshine (playstore paid) both are gorgeous icon sets ... MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU FLASH THIS GUYS !!!!

[Q] Custom ROM

So... I'm planning to switch to Nexus 5 because my current phone (xperia zl) is lost...
Can you guys suggest me a good custom rom? I mean lag-free (no lag when you pull down the notification drawer), and stable ?
Thanks a lot, sorry if i'm asking such as unimportant question, i'm new in here
Since AOSP is built for Nexus range, they're all about as lag free as each other and all pretty stable.
Just look for the features you want and try the roms...

But i've read on some website said that PA, Carbon, and Mahdi is laging.. .Is that true?
If they are, its users poor setup or certain apps. ?
Stock is noticeably faster than pacman cm based ROM no matter what my settings were.
Going to try a couple more aosp based Roms like rastakat for the missing features from stock.
Will definitely be sticking to aosp Roms now though and not bother with any cm based.

its written on cm site too that people find cm more stable than other roms. may i know the reason for your opinion?

Cm has always been a battery drain for me since cm6. Its never been more stable than anything else. Maybe their final versions are as stable as everything else, but all their nightlies and everything else released between the final versions always seem to introduce bugs. And they always change stuff that doesn't need changing.
I will never use cm again. Simply awful.

read the xda threads on xda in general, q&a. many many times its cm thats unstable. besides, i spent years on cm, i know what it can be like. anyways, for the nexus 5, there are many roms that id consider more stable than cm.
First time trying a cm based ROM on my n5 and first time I have stability issues. Had to hard reboot cause it wouldn't wake up at all.

So.... I guess i'm gonna try em all lol
Anyway, just in case, what should i do if i get a bootloop?

What's the latest greatest ROM everyone is using for the Idol 3?

I rooted my 6045O last night and I'm excited to try a ROM on this phone. I seen the big thread on the CyanogenMod 12.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/ido...om-cyanogenmod-12-1-alcatel-onetouch-t3225533
But I wanna make sure it's the best ROM for this phone.
you cant read idol 3 section?
Wow thanks for being friendly to the new guy. As I stated, I seen the big thread on the CyanogenMod 12.1. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a better ROM that you guys might know of before I put time into learning about that one.

I'm not for sure either.great work on all though.I'm leaning toward the dcz rom cause from my understanding its fast,smooth and I like stock style roms.
I didn't see a DCZ thread?
Sent from my 6045O using Tapatalk
If you gonna flash a ROM know that besides dcz, only fully working ROM is cm12.1 also I'm using 60450
Ok so those are my options. Thanks. Do you know any pros/cons of one vs the other?

Well do you want stock ROM with overclock kernel(DCZ) vs the beauty and customization of cyanogenmod?
All dcz rom is a almost fully debloated stock ROM and custom kernel made by team adrv.

If the stock rom did not have such lag I'd suggest the majority stick with it unless you had a specific reason not to. Since it DOES have lag, I'd suggest the i806/DCZ rom since it is a version of stock that should eliminate the lag and work fully with the hardware. All the other rom's have issues of one type or another.
Resurrection Remix still has several things wrong..the camera off the top of my head. CM12.1 still has issues. Currently the cm12.1 dev does not have the device in hand...neither does the resurrection remix dev....working on rom's without the device is similar to driving blindfolded. You are guaranteed to get SOMEWHERE but it may not be where you want to be.
There are only 3 real roms available other than original stock and I HIGHLY recommend you backup your stock with twrp so you can go back to it for system updates. Why are the system updates so important if you are on another rom? They are the only way you can get modem driver mods/improvements among other things.
I'm not sure which I'd prefer at the moment. Guess I'll just read lol

Cm 12.1 (10/29) is most stable on my idol 3 (6045i). Resurrection Remix is not stable. Random reboots, lag and speakers and cam don't work.

Thanks for the tips. I do like performance and stability over anything. So I'll check out DCZ. I've already backed up stock.
