Root [International] Are you pleased with the Moto G

[trophynuts]

Specifically in the rooting and rom department. When looking at XDA it seems there is A LOT of goodies to try on this phone. Are a lot of the kernels worth it? Do they make that big of a difference? I saw one that OC's the GPU to 533mhz. How about battery life on this phone? I"m considering getting the new 4G version for Tmo to play around with.


Thanks in advance.

So far I'm very pleased with mine; but I've only had it since Friday and today is Monday. I've done so much playing around that I can't say I've had the best battery life. Today is the first day of not a lot of use (since I've been working) and I've had it on battery for 8hr 18 min and I'm at 66 %. Screen on time is 1hr 51 min. Seems decent enough to me.

Edit: oh, I'm still on stock. I have unlocked the boot loader, rooted and put CWM on. I'm using the XT1034 U.S. GSM version.

cool thanks.

Yeah i'm looking at what the level of fun factor is for rooting and using roms.

good info though. Obviously on the LTE the battery life may be a little different.
