It's nice to see a decent LG phone that can be rooted and have a custom recovery. After owning the LG Motion, I vowed to never again get stuck with a locked down tight phone, that's why I went with an unlocked Moto G 1st gen 3G phone. Hopefully you'll get a good selection of ROM's and maybe even...

I came across this today. I don't have the phone (I'm using a Moto G on Metro), but thought you guys might have an interest in this, if you haven't seen it yet. It looks like someone has made a recovery for your phone. Hope it helps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3049800

So, if anyone is interested a ROM for Android 5.0 is booting on this venerable old gal. Here's the link to it over on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2931067 I got it installed and up and running. So far the camera force closes. I also don't have all my apps re-installed...

So my US, unlocked XT1034 finally got the 4.4.4 update. It's ironic that Motorola sent it out shortly before Android 5.0. I honestly thought that Moto was going to skip it on us and take us straight from 4.4.3 to 5.0.

Here it is: It’s Official: Android 5.0 Lollipop Coming to Moto X, Moto G, Moto E and More - The Official Motorola Blog I don't know if that will include the CDMA variants, or just the GSM models. However, I assume that all the versions will get it.

So, I decided to install CM11 on my G, today. I just did my 1st OTA CM update. It's just cool to finally have a phone that has a valid recovery (three actually), official CM (and a whole slew of other ROMs), and an unlocked boot loader. I started out my Android life using the LG Optimus M...

(Just had to put that tip of the hat to Hitchhikers Guide in there) Well I've officially moved over to the Moto G now (no I didn't wait to get the LTE version). I'm loving it! It's a great phone, even with just HSPA+ 21. I've unlocked the boot loader, put CWM on it, rooted and tried out a...

I just ordered my Moto G tonight. I just ordered the original 16 gig rather than waiting for the LTE to be available. I'm ok with hspa+. I figured I've waited since the beginning of December so I went ahead and ordered it now! :cool:

Well, since no one has made this yet, I'll go ahead and be the first. Here is a screen shot of my 1st screen to the right of my main home screen. I have the Google Now widget on there, as well as the camera and tapatalk. Edit: correct the link.

Ok, so my wife and I purchased the MetroPCS varient (5020N) as an MP3/game play, etc phone for my children. I rooted one of them and gave it to my oldest son. He played around and changed his start up/shutdown sounds. It can be done through the sound menu, but that only works if you put the tone...

Oh, and some ROM's: Well, since no one has posted this in one place yet, here are some threads on XDA forums that are pertinent to the boot loader, rooting, recoveries and some ROM's: How to unlock the boot loader: xda-developers - View Single Post - [RC-FAQ] >> Frequently Asked Questions...

Alright, for those of you who have gotten the update, did it go well? I'm reading, over on the Nexus 4 forum, all kinds of issues for a good majority of the folks that got the update. Some are having failed updates, others are having software issues after the update, just a general all around...

So I've been browsing the XDA Moto G forums lately (they are more active right now) and have noticed 3 different model numbers ; xt1032, xt1033, & xt1034. What is the difference between the models? I assume U.S. and global? Maybe by country or region? Any one know?

I don't know if anyone is following over on xda, but they're working on cwm for the Moto G: [TEST] CWM Based Recovery v6.0.4.5 - xda-developers

For those of you with this phone, and actually using it; I'm working with Shabbypenguin right now on trying to get a custom recovery going. I put my SD card, from my Motion 4G into the phone last night, and took this screen shot: Does this mean that if SD card is selected as default, that...

This has been available for a few days now. Has anyone gotten it and how is it? I think I remember someone in the UK saying they had it; how 'bout here in the US of A? What providers are you using? I'm really interested in getting it, and will probably buy in February or March after I get my...

So, if you hold the vol up and power, you get this screen: The top option is "Recovery Mode" and the bottom option is "Normal Mode." You use the up vol to scroll through the two options and the down vol selects. Here is recovery: On the recovery screen, the top highlighted line...

So, I understand that this is a 3G only phone, but it's inexpensive. Metro is selling them for $59. I bought 5 of them for my children to use as Wi-Fi only devices; music player, games, etc. I'm hoping that this phone'll get a little bit of activity at least. I followed the rooting thread in the...

Ok, so recently when my wife calls me, I hit the answer button, and start to say "hello" and then I get a recording saying I have an incoming call from "wifes name" and press 1 to answer or 2 to send to voice mail. I never set anything up (that I remember) for it to do this. I tried calling my...

So, my son has a HTC Thunderbolt that he's using as an MP3 player. I helped him install a ROM on it and out had the coolest battery indicator. It was a colored bar above the notification bar. I put a post on the t-bolt forum and someone came up with an app on the play store. It's called T.E.A.M...

So, we got this Thunderbolt used, from a friend. My son is using it as an MP3 player, basically. I installed a version of the gingeritis ROM and he set the battery status across the notification bar, as seen in the screen shot below. I really like that and was wondering if something like that...

Ok, before I rooted, apex launcher was telling me that in order to add widgets from the widget section of the menu, I had to be rooted. Now that I am rooted, it won't let me add widgets from with in the menu. It tells me that if super user is available I should go in and enable root helper. I...

Tell your Motion Happy Birthday! The cell phone is 40 today. :)

So what's the difference between Chrome that came on my phone, and Chrome Beta that you can download from the Play Store?

between the two recoveries: 2nd init mod (The CWM recovery mod) and 985hPaKick 2nd init recovery? Admittedly, I haven't taken the time to read thru all 5 pages of the two threads combined, so it might just tell me in there. Am I assuming correctly that the 985.. recovery is the basic recovery...
