Why we should use custom ROM for Moto G ?

Moto G is already on latest kit kat with hardly any bloatware and you can root, install custom recovery and can also use gravity box for extra customization/modification which custom ROMs offer so my question is
Why we still need custom ROMS for moto G? Is it just habit of people to try different ROMS(flasholic) or we actually need them?

Personally, stock rom root, and Xposed framework + modules is enough for me, for now

Not to mention the fact that, once you root, you can remove the bloatware. I removed Migrate and Assist with no issue at all.

Yes similar to the note. It's a feature of Omnirom, but is found on other Roms too. We don't have an omnirom port right now, but if you want to try out multiwindow this ROM also has it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620709

interesting..no i was curious i dont think i will use multi wndow on such small screen of moto g as i already own note 2 but never used multiwindow or spen
but i see that these ROMS have plenty of other bugs so you get one thing at the cost of others. I have noticed a strange trend on xda. Those devices who dont need much development for example nexus and those who are close to AOSP get more support of developers while those devices who need development like lg g2 get hardly any attention

That's because the nexus devices are really open and easy to develop with, this attracts developers. The LG G2 is more locked down and it discourages developers from even trying.
I wouldn't worry though, the moto g is just as open as nexus devices and I predict it will get a lot of development in the near future, as well as official cyanogenmod support.

I was going to say the same thing, I think for cm 11 we need a retainer and such

I have no desire to modify my G at this time, or in the near future. It runs perfectly and does everything I want. If down the road it becomes "stale" from lack of update support, then I'll consider it.

Only xposed for me. I had always the feeling that odexed is faster than deodexed anyway.
The guys from ex-themer said this device will be supported with the next major release so then you will have your themes

Capacitive button remapping.

Hi all,
I'm new the the OPO having just left the Nexus line after a long time.
I'd love to use the capacitive buttons but really hate how they're opposite to the Android guidelines. Is it possible to remap them so they're the same as the Android on screen ones?
TIA.

I know its possible with a custom ROM

Ah but it requires root :/

Root, and unlock bootloader and Install the latest Oct. 21st verion of SLIMKat and be over it.
You have so much customizations under a super clean and LIGHT ROM. In fact, most of what Android Lolipop is coming out with has ALREADY been out on custom roms ages ago.
Think of it as Google finally taking ideas from the development community.

I confirm that this method works.

Yeah, of course it does, that's to be expected with such a modification.

I fail to see the problem with root since in your sig it says you are testing ROMS and kernels ...

Bro, theres hardly any adblocker(ad free is what I use) that doesnt need root. Are you telling me you're letting all kinds of tracking scripts/cookies, youtube ads, animated epilepsy inducing garbage steal your time/cpu/battery/data bandwidth?
GET on that root train right now. This goes for everyone.

I need to update that. Went back to stock because of battery life. Its difficult to keep it updated when you don't own a PC.

Nexus 6P stock ROM on Mate 8?

Hi I was wondering if it's possible to get a stock ROM of Nexus 6P working on the Mate 8? Or a slightly modified version of the stock 6P?

um....no
two completely different devices with completely different hardware. ull basically need to rewrite the whole rom in order to port it, not exactly an easy untertaking...

No, but we will likely eventually get cyanogenmod, which is very similar, just with more options.

I think it dont work like that, we have to be ourself involved to cm devellopement to make it possible.
So our only chance is to get some of us(Mate8 owner) with enough skill to start to work on it.

we need roms like oppo rom
love it

That is the one down side to these phones as they aren't as popular as phones such as the LG G series, Samsung's, HTC's, Nexus series. They are great phones hopefully more developers get on board.

I'm surprised there's no cyanogenmod..?

As well as many other i'm used to see on other devices, why is that? Perhaps i've missed something..

Samsung haven't released the source code / drivers or something yet afaik

It's so for lot of other phones, yet you get custom roms inclueing cm13..! So there are only TouchWiz based roms for now, that's it?

No Source = No CM.

As said, if it happens on other phones, why not GS7!

Other phones don't use samsungs exynos chip, plus samsung locked the snapdragon's bootloader, so we're double ****ed.

In the end, what's the best and lightest rom to use on this phone today?

Downgrading to Marshmallow?

Hey mates,
Please hold your horses and hear me out!
Until we get a working Xposed, I would prefer to rock marshmallow for a few modules that I like.
Is there an available ROM or stock image that I can use for that purpose? I know I may have to wait for stable TWRP as well.
Planning to install that on a Verizon pixel, although will likely use it on T-Mobile network.
Thanks!

Pixel came with Android N. I *very* much doubt if anyone will invest time to bring to Android M on it

There will never be Marshmallow for this phone.

This is a true statement. I've never seen a rom for a phone that pre-dates the OS that the phone was released for.

Won't happen there is no source.

Fair enough, thanks for your replies. I guess will have to do without xposed for now.
