Even with lollipop based roms im still getting the screen flickering bug. i know i can lock it and get rid of it temporarily. But i want to try custom roms without getting this bug. please help
Yeh I'm getting it too..... At lowest brightness?? WITH "Adaptive Display" enabled? (Dual-sim Moto G 2013, XT1033)
Just wait for the stock 5.0.2 image and flash it, the flickering should be fixed. Then use any Lollipop based Rom and you're ready.

Hi, has everyone received their 4.4.3 update as I'm still waiting to receive mine also some are getting the 4.4.4 now so it seems a bit strange! Also does anyone know if I can update manually?
Thanks

you don't want 4.4.3 and they stopped it anyway, 4.4.4 has not been rolled out in the uk yet as far as i can tell from these forums.

It's far more complicated than that.For the moment the UK Moto Gs are still on 4.4.2 (which is actually a good thing).
Even if it comes out these days, I won't be updating, until the don't release a bugfix to patch all the issues with 4.4.4

Can tell you only few that I find significant. But the full list is quite extensive.
OTG doesn't work at all.
The proximity sensor gets stuck/ doesn't react while incall.
Loss of Wi-Fi and 3G signal for no reason.
Your device emmc gets re-petitioned and may get bricked.
Some poorly written, but useful apps doesn't run
Miracast doesn't work from time to time.
The vast majority of issues are due to upgrading via OTA update. I've Fastboot flashed the 4.4.3 US firmware image and had none of these problems.

In which sense bud? I mean, when i flashed ota for kk over jb i haven't had any problem. Do you mean in this sense?
I'm only suggesting if people are having issues; download the full firmware, wipe phone and flash via fastboot.

umm ok.. problem that atm the only 443 complete firmware is the US i think. We need to wait...
True. But that image does work perfectly fine on a UK / EU XT1032.
On my xt1033(Asian firmware), I installed Brazil 4.4.4 firmware and installed 5.0 soak test. I was having call problems. The volume of call was very low. The other person couldn't hear me clearly. Then I reverted back to Asia 4.4.4. Same problem with screen glitches. Then, I installed gpe ROM and installed 5.0.1 update. Same problem persisted. Now I'm back to 4.4.4 Asia. Save problem still there. What can I so to solve this problem? Can anyone help me.

Two main questions: What is your main problem and what is the rom that you want?
Is your problem the volume during calls or you still see the flicking screen?
You wish to stay in the GPE? Or try the brazilian 5.0.1? (I'm using this and I think i'ts the best option if you do not use Xposed Framework).
Another question: Did you try to flash a different gpt.bin when going from GPE to another?
Cheers!

My microphone is having some issues after installing Brazillian 5.0 firmware. And yes, the problem is continuing in KitKat 4.4.4 too. And I don't want any ROM. The mic or microphone is having issues after 5.0. I didn't flash gpt.bin and motoboot after downgrading to 4.4.4 Asia/Brazil/GPE. So don't worry about that.

No. Read the above paragraph for what is it.
So heres the problem i updated my phone to Lollipop; Motorola Stock version, now I plan and have full intentions to flash to CM12. The problem I'm not facing is finding a Lollipop compatible custom recovery which would help me flash to CM12. Oh and its a XT1033. All help is appreciated.

Use TWRP 2.8.1.0. Though I'll advise you to avoid flashing CM12 since it does not support dual sim.

Thanks for the tip hope there won't be issues with screen flickering in this version of TWRP. I have no problem with the single/double sim as I'll be flashing Donkey Kang Kernel enabling me to get one SIM working which is more than enough for me.

You will have screen flickering since the you have an updated boot loader.

nice just got a notification on my phone that an update is available.
I wonder if a rooted and custom kernel (experience) would interfere with a smooth upgrade?
- would I lose root?
- custom kernel problematic?
thanks merlin

Hey guys my moto g XT1032 has been incredibly slow since the update to 5.0.1, I think this is due to the memory leak issue?
Restarting solves the issue for all of 20 mins - I've also tried wiping the cache.
Has anyone had any experience with this ?
I'm stuck between waiting for 5.1 and fixing it or downgrading to kitkat - it's incredibly frustrating at this stage waiting for my apps to load.

IMO kitkat is far more responsive, quick, and stable than lollipop. Lollipop 5.1 is better than 5/5.01/5.02 but I still prefer kitkat over Lollipop. That's just my opinion.

Okay. In your original post you stated that you have the 2nd gen moto g. The xt1032 is the 1st gen moto g.
Also, if your bootloader is not unlocked and/or you are not rooted then you are stuck on Lollipop. If it is unlocked then you can adb fastboot the correct 4.4.4 firmware for your phone to go back to KitKat. I purchased my xt1028 with JellyBean on it, ota'd to 4.4.2 KitKat, then later took the 4.4.4 ota. Unlocked bootloader, rooted it and flashed numerous KitKat roms. Then upgraded my bootloader from 41.13 to 41.19 and flashed more than a few Lollipop roms. At the end of the day, I am just not impressed with Lollipop at all. Too bright, too many colors, and the design is too kiddie-like, as though they designed it for kindergarten children. Grow up android, and make an os for adults.
I reverted back to KitKat and I like it far better. Although I am about done with android. Going to iphone.
thanks for the reply - you're right -I'm a 1st gen ( XT1032).
So am I completely stuck on lolipop since the upgrade? ( I'm not rooted)

Yes, unfortunately if you are not rooted you are stuck on lollipop. However, you have a GSM phone and I think it is unlockable through Motorola's bootloader unlock program. Here is a link that may help: http://motogroms.com/moto-g-bootloa...o-g-xt939g-xt1008-xt1031-xt1032-xt1033-xt1034
And if you have success unlocking your bootloader, this link will help you restore KitKat on your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Keep in mind though that when you took the Lollipop ota it updated your bootloader so even if you restore your phone to KitKat you will still have the updated bootloader(bootloader cannot be downgraded) so you will have some screen flicker every time you reboot your phone but that is resolved by just turning the screen off/on.
If you need any further assistance please feel free to let me know and I'll do what I can to help.
Upgraded mine 2 days ago I totally hate lollipop
the lock screen sucks with the speed dial on it .....I have acidently made calls twice......I have had to put a pass code in to stop this happening
untill I can find a way of removing this pile of **** from my phone.

Your welcome.
And I am not quite sure if there is a 5.1/5.1.1 Lollipop update for your phone. You can always visit Motorola Software Update Page to check.
