Usable storage with MM - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
what is the usable storage on a Nexus 5 with Marshmallow. I'm using Cataclysm and have 12.xGB to work with. Is that normal?

26.76GB on a 32GB model.

You should factory reset your phone to get full 26 gb instead of 12 gb when updated to Marshmallow

Aaaand I forgot to mention that I have the 16GB Nexus 5, sorry. In comparision to the 32GB model I'd say that 12.xGB seem about right

[Q][SOLVED] Custom ROM's specific for storage space?

Hi.
Are the custom ROM's specific for 16GB and 32 GB or independent of the storage space?
I want to buy one Nexus 5 but because I use to change the software, I need to know the better Nexus 5 version to do it.

Independent.
The ROM doesn't need control what size the /data partition is. This is information for the file system

Hi,
Nope, they are all the same, no distinction between 16 or 32 GB model...
Many thanks for both

[Q] Before I buy questions..

hey everyone, so I am thinking of moving from my **** I9500 (good phone) just for the reason that I cant flash aosp Roms. So I would like to go for a nexus device and just to makre sure...there are many Roms for this phone without any problems right? I know its a nexus, but just to make sure because the I9500 had a problems with AOSP. Also how much space do you get in the 16gb model....and is it enough for some music and apps.
Thanks

You have about 12,5 GB left for you on the 16GB model, and yes development is great regarding rom`s, kernels and mods.

Not as far as i know, why would storage size be a problem. They are all the same roms for both the 16 and 32GB models.

There weren't any problems with the 32gb model. Just user error

I wonder where all these misconceptions come from?
plenty of asop ROMS to go around and I recommend the 32GB version

[Q] Republic Wireless Moto G Rooting

Has anyone has success in rooting RW's Moto G?
Mine is going to get here tomorrow and there are some apps that I can't live without; of course, they all require root.
I see that the Moto X (for RW) has been successfully rooted, but no news on the G.
If anyone is able to root this Moto G, I'd love to hear about it, as would tons of other customers of Republic Wireless.
Note: If the rooting was successful and the phone seems stable, please share the details as to the process you used.
Update: After looking further into the situation, it seems that safestrap does not work on android 4.4.
The method for rooting the Moto X under RW requires safestrap, so maybe the Moto G does too?
Just my thoughts, it would be nice if someone responded with their own ideas.
You're the first I have heard of someone having the Republic Wireless version. I see they just became available last month. Do you know what the model # is? Is it a XT1031 like the Boost (Sprint) version? Did u get the 8 or 16 gig version? Could you post what your firmware version is? Have you tried unlocking the boot loader through the Motorola website? I'm really curious about the RW version of these phones. Verizon and Boost don't have 16 gig versions. So, these are the first CDMA versions available with 16 gig of storage.

Me too!
I just got this phone as well.
Not sure how to tell my model number. 16 G version. Firmware, is that baseband, kernal, or system version?
I tried unlocking the bootloader through Moto, the website said my phone was lot eligible.
Will post my info if you tell me where to look on the phone.
Tks,
E

The firmware is the system version. I just curious. I'm not really sure where to look up the model #. Mine just says "Moto G" on that screen. That's cool that you got a 16 gig version. I wish Verizon had those!
Sent from my XT1028 using Tapatalk
Right ON. Just switched from 7 years with Verizon....
My Model # is Moto G as well.
System Version: 175.44.27.falcon_cdma.RepublicWireless.en.US
Ideas?

Unfortunately, no. So far, no one has found a way to get around these "not eligible" locked boot loaders.

Sorry for the super late response. Airdroid refers to it as the XT1031, so same as the Boost (and possibly all Sprint network) versions.

There are quite a lot of threads started for the same issue. To resolve it factory reset/wipe everything

Custom roms and differences between 8/16GB versions

Hi,
I am looking at potentially buying a Moto G 2015 and am tempted to go for the 16GB rom / 2Gb ram version.
Will any custom rom install on it as it would install on the 8GB regular version? I've quickly checked the forum and assume that "YES" , but jsut want to be 100% sure.
Thanks!
