Cyanogenmod on Moto G

Hi!
As a Moto G owner I was wondering if there were any benefits of installing Cyanogenmod on the Moto G, seeing as Moto G runs a vanilla version of Android anyway, any thoughts?
Thanks

i have the same doubt

The CM11 is even lighter on resources than the stock Android. It also brings plenty of useful features without you needing to install them separately like Torch, ability to turn on & off features straight from notification bar which is extremely convenient. You can also add more entries of your choice in said bar, e.g. network data preference (2G or 3G). Not just this, but the CM11 comes with a beautiful File Manager out-of-the-box which even puts my paid Solid Explorer to shame; although the UI is very identical. You'll definitely feel the difference once you start using it yourself. Even tiny things like changing hostname alone make it a worthwhile practice.
EDIT:
I also agree with what @Durteedee said, GravityBox should bring many of CM11 features to stock Android if you don't want to deal with flashing and stuff.

Recommendations for Custom ROM

This is my first time installing a custom ROM on my original Moto G and with so many to choose from I was wondering what your opinion is. The Overview of the ROM doesn't say much about speed/battery/CPU Usage etc. I'm looking for a ROM that's light on CPU and Battery as well as fast and customizable. I know CM is the most popular but I've heard it's not to good with battery life. Oh, and one more thing, Going with customizeability/features idea I would prefer Android 6. Any input would be greatly apreciated
P.S. Wouldn't mind kernel recommendations either, but I have a less than basic understanding of a kernel .

I would recommand ResurrectionRemix its based on 6.0.1 and has the april 2 security update and has OTA support its based on CM13 also but has so many tweaks and customization without loosing fluidity and smoothness im runnning it after testing multiple rom andits the one I<ll stay with until android 7... im getting 6h screen on time on a 12h uptime day (yesterday) it also offers the cm13 theme installer so pretty sick

Hello Mattwmaster58,
I am in the same situation - looking for a fast, stable(!) & bug-free rom with very good battery-performance.
I have testet many xda-roms for my old samsung-phone (S3 mini), and was surprised how much one differs from the others.
There is quite big list of number of Custom ROMs available for Moto G which might confuse users like us. Every single rom has some advantages and disadvantages.
For me it is important that the rom-thread provides a list of bugs and features, and also shows what changes were made (for instance: Omni-Rom).

I haven't shifted from Orion OS from 4 months give it a try buttery smooth and stable totally bug free if u don't use soft reboot that's IMO nothing big
Btw do tell if u find a better in terms of battery or performance or either

I have tested 15 ROMs for Moto G (Falcon) and below is my recommendation of ROMs :
- Omnirom : Stable and fluid.
- SlimSaber : Optimized version of Omnirom - fast smooth and stable, especially previous version. Good battery SoT.
- Exodus : rock solid stable.
- IDCrisis : stock based, stable

[DISCUSSION] Miui 8 Global Stable(8.0.1.0)(LXIMIDG) leaked build for MI4I review

Hello guys,
So many of us mi4i users have received the miui 8 stable ota update and some of us have downloaded the rom using the links in miui forum and xda forum.
I downloaded it using the bigota link. And flashed it using Twrp on 20th. I was on Global beta.
So after 2days of usual this is what i feel about the rom.
Let me divide it into simple points of pros nd cons.
Lets start with the cons.
1) Its still on 5.0.2 which is the biggest disappointment for many. Well i pretty much expected it to be as Global beta was also on 5.0.2
2) Camera focus issue is far from fixed.
3) Memory optimisation is better than the last miui stable but yet leaves a lot to be desired.
4) Some new features dont work sometimes. Like the scrolling screenshot doesnt work on all apps.
5) Still no voLTE support though the chipset supports it.
6) To me beta rom feels a lot better compared to the stable one. In every aspect.
Those were the major cons with the device.
Now coming to pros here. Nothing much special to expect.
1) New miui features are good as long as they work. I m not gonna write all the features in different points. Coz everyone alredy knws the new features.
2) From Miui 6 to now miui 8 xiaomi has really optimized the snapdragon 615 to the minimal heating experience.
3) The memory optimisation as i said in cons is improved but still a lot left to be done.
This is all i could find. Please feel free to write down below what you think about the New miui8. What you liked and disliked about this update.

Thanks for ur review..

New to Flashing, i need help picking the perfect OS for my Moto G (2013)

Basically, what i said in the title, i have an old Moto G that i want to flash to see if i can improve some things about it. i hope you can redirect me to a good flashing guide and tell me which flash is the best, pros and cons of each... this world is kind of new to me.

Lineage OS 14.1 or Resurrection Remix
I recommend Lineage OS if smoothness and stability are your main priority. Ive been using it as my daily driver for 8 months and it is wonderfully smooth. Had Blisspop before L.OS which almost made me change phones cause it was laggy and unstable.
Have not personally used Resurrection Remix but a couple of friends who use it say it is as stable as lineage.,
Good luck selecting your first rom
Pros of Lineage OS
-Stable
-Fluid Smooth
-Frequent Updates and Patches
Cons of Lineage OS
-Very limited customization
-Not Pre-Rooted (though it barely takes a minute or so to root it)
-Battery backup is rather underwhelming

Best custom rom to use as a daily driver?

I like modifying my phone to get the best of it and custom roms is the thing that i do. I need you to tell me what rom do you use, why and is it stable.

Short answer: The ROM I tried that worked the best was Resurrection Remix.
Long answer: Resurrection Remix is the only custom ROM I would be able to recommend, as it is the only ROM that worked with the phone. Lineage, for me, would not boot and I could not write the OS to the phone. I did not try any of the other ones, as those were the two most stable ones.
Unfortunately, I dont believe either one of them is the best choice for a daily driver to get the best out of the phone. The random reboot issue in all ROMs and the camera quality were a deal breaker for me. The lack of fast charging on the original brick was also disappointing, but I did not use it much anyways originally. The battery drain was a bit much while the ROM was fast.
Overall, I was happier with stock. Nova Launcher really brings out the best of both worlds in this phone.

As for now, i suggest you to stay stock with EMUI / Nova Launcher. There are a lot of good devs here but the kirin chipset is not one of the easiest to overcome and develope to. So for custom roms near "stock" experience (i mean with less bugs and good camera and battery life) we have to wait the "still not officially annunced but probably will come instead" Oreo update wich all of us believe will bring Treble to our H8 (also thaks the separate vendor partition that huawei/honor kindly uses in their devices) and only then we could hope in fast e better developement =)
