[Q] Moto G 2014 2013 firmware - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since the moto G 2013 and 2014 are practically the same device only differences being bigger screen and expandable storage? couldn't we flash the 2014 lollipop firmware on the 2013 edition?
sorry if i seem like i have an extra chromosome to you super experience devs. but it seemed like such an obvious solution....

No

[Q] Orig. Moto G Roms on Moto G (2nd Gen) ?

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.

Motorola Moto Screen - Why not is possible install this app in others ROMs?

Hello everyone.
This is only a question regarding one of the applications that, in my opinion, have excellent usability proposal in some Motorola devices.
I have a Moto G 3rd Generation (16 GB). Because Lenovo abandoned this model, I decided to go to the ROMs customizable alternatives, and in this case I am using the ROM AICP 12.0 with Android 7.0 Nougat.
But I wonder, why not is possible install those native apps Moto G3, such as Moto screen, Moto Shares and etc?
The hardware is the same, the device still remains the same... there any way to force installing and running these apps on another ROM?
