[Q] Orig. Moto G Roms on Moto G (2nd Gen) ? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
So I'm just curious at this point..I know I'm on the orig. Moto g forums. With that being said its been said that moto g 2nd gen is the exact same phone as the orig moto G just with a bigger screen..but same screen resolution,same internals,same battery etc. But the moto g does have front speakers and a slight bump on the camera.
My question is..
Can the orig moto g Roms work for the moto g 2nd gen since there the same exact phone?
The reason I'm post in this on here instead of the 2nd gen forums is I know not a lot of people who own orig moto g will jump to the 2nd gen even devs for that matter but did anybody on here jump ship and know if this will work?
Moto G (1st Gen), Moto G LTE and Moto G (2nd Gen) each have unique Kernels and ROMS. They are not interchangeable from my experience. When a custom kernel is available for 2nd Gen maybe then you can try one of the zips from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688
While the hardware is almost identical, Motorola have made changes breaking compatibility. It probably wouldn't be a massive challenge for a skilled developer.
Summary: Someone needs to create a modified Moto G (2nd Gen) stock kernel that is compatible with Moto G (1st Gen) ROMs. Even if the ROM did boot, camera and other features may not work.
Of course it will not works, even between Moto G 2013 variants (XT1032, 1033, 1034..) do not work on each other.

Not true. I have flashed ROMs (including kernel) for XT1028, XT1031, XT1033 and XT1034 on XT1032 and they work.

Click to collapse Best option for timely official updates is XT1032 Google Play Edition (GPe). But not all custom ROMs are compatible with GPe (as seen with the current 5.0.x custom ROMs). If only "all custom ROMs supported" is the concern, then any (non-GPe) XT1032 will do. Like US-Retail, UK-Retail, European, Brazilian, Argentinian, etc. (Actually, all XT1032 are inter-convertible.) falcon is the name for all 1st gen moto g, XT1028 to XT1034. But actually, its the XT1032 on which custom ROMs are built.. Only later they are made compatible with other versions. So, we can assume falcon to be XT1032. Also, I've noticed that US-Retail XT1032 (also the one I own) gets the official updates from Motorola (not talking about "Soak Tests") , a little bit earlier than other regions. Sent from my XT1032 using XDA Free.

Where does the stock ROM read the model name from?
I ported a 6.0.1 Moto G3 stock ROM to the Moto E 2015. Everything works amazingly great except the camera at the moment. My only other problem is no matter what I change in the build.prop I can't get the model name changed from Moto G 3 to Moto E 2015. Normally it is simply the line ro.product.model=XXX but it must be reading it from somewhere else. If anyone could tell me I would be very greatful.
