You can follow the instructions from the OTA help-desk thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217
Xposed ALPHA for Lollipop 5.0 is available. There's nothing to expect for Lollipop 5.1 in the coming weeks.

[Q]Regarding Google s4 Safestrap

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to all of this. I have a question about this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2767026
I am currently rooted, and safestrap on version 4.4.2 of kitkat. When I flash this, I am going to flash version 4.4.2, but this rom also has downloads for 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. Do I need to start with 4.4.2 and flash my way up in order to get to 4.4.4?
Thanks!

How to revert back to Kitkat?

As usual i was on 4,4,4 Moto but then i flashed GPE 4.4.4 then updated to Lolipop, now i want to go back to motorola and is this ever going to be possible without facing the consequence some people have faced already? A brick? Is this currently available? Is there an update from motorola coming, such as the 5.0.2 Lolipop update?
Lollipop 4.4.4? haha If you updated to 5.0 the boot loader has been updated, and there will be some bugs when you downgrade like a line going down the screen sometimes.

I sucesfully converted to Kitkat 4.4.4 GPE, however, is it possible to flash Moto 4.4.4 with the Lolipop 41.18 bootloader ? I dont want to break the phone but i really hate GPE!
I tried and got 4.4.4 stock but you got some bugs, a little bugs, no brick.

You sir, are posting in the wrong section! This is the development thread, no place to be asking questions. That is what the Q & A section is for.
On another note, downgrading is risky because of the possibility of bricking because of incompatible bootloaders.
The safest way to return to Android 4.4.4 is by unlocking Bootloader and flashing one of these Stock ROMs via TWRP.
[ROM][4.4.4][STOCK][FLASHABLE ZIP] Stock Motorola KitKat ROM Collection​
The Optimized ROMs have OTA updates disabled. You do not want any kind of Motorola OTA Update. These updates include Bootloader patching and may end up destroying your phone.

Use this thread instead:
[ROM][FALCON][5.1][STOCK] Stock Motorola Lollipop ROM Collection​
EDIT: Fastboot should be okay as a way to return to Lollipop. But the Optimized Stock ROMs offer better performance and battery-life.
is there any chance of hardbrick while downgrading to 4.4optimised and then upgrading to 5.1 optimised?

XT1031 stock Android 5.1 Lollipop -- which version of Xposed?

I searched this forum and couldn't find a recent report of successful install of Xposed on XT1031 with Android 5.1. I've gotten burned in the past installing Xposed on other phones (bootloop, have to reflash), so hoping someone can reply to let me know what has worked for them.
I looked here: http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk22/arm/
Latest Xposed is xposed-v87-sdk22-arm.zip, dated 11/24/2016.
Is anyone successfully running this version on stock XT1031 with Android 5.1 (rooted, with TWRP recovery)? Or is there an older build I should run?
Thanks for any help!
Does anyone have positive experience installing Xposed on XT1031 with stock 5.1? Thanks for any help!

Require Nougat Stock ROM base before flashing 7.0 custom ROM?

I have XsteStoLite Rom (6.0.1) installed over stock 6.0.1 and I want to upgrade to a Nougat custom ROM. However, my device does not have the stock 7.0 firmware out yet (if it will ever get released). Do I need to flash a stock 7.0 firmware from another country to serve as base ROM (kernel, other stuff) or can I flash Nougat custom ROMs on top of stock 6.0.1? Thanks.
No, Marshmallow and Nougat uses the same bootloader so you dont have to update ota
