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.
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

Any Answer will be Appreciated,

I ported a 6.0.1 Moto G3 stock ROM to the Moto E 2015. Everything works amazingly great except the camera at the moment. My only other problem is no matter what I change in the build.prop I can't get the model name changed from Moto G 3 to Moto E 2015. Normally it is simply the line ro.product.model=XXX but it must be reading it from somewhere else. If anyone could tell me I would be very greatful.
I searched many sites. but not found this build MPI24.65-39-4
so please help me to find it
Bulid number :- MPI24.65-39-4
