Android 6 on Moto G5? - Moto G5 Questions & Answers

With my Moto G5 (dual-sim, 3GB RAM/16GB one) )going to arrive any day I was wondering (searching for that didn't brought anything up) if there
is a ROM/possibility to run Android 6 instead of 7(8) on the phone. Hardware-wise it's pretty much like as G4 but with additional fingerprint sensor.
Why Android 6? I'd like to run XPosed framework and some of its modules I got used to...

Thanks for the link! I was referring to an original built by revo as this was my last state of knowledge. Guess I'll take the unofficial one for a ride

it won't be for this soon i think, v20k will be released shortly which is still 5.0 based on assumptions.
But I also know lg's firmwares letters rarely go further as u,v or w haha.

Brother this is gonna how its probably gonna roll out
1) Lollipop AOSP based roms will be updated within the month
2) Nexus 5, 6, Tablets
3) Google Play Edition Devices (HTC One M7, M8, Galaxy S4)?
4) Samsung (Galaxy S5, Note 4, Note 3, Galaxy S4)?
5) LG (G3, G2)/HTC One M8
7) Sony
8) Other brands
I hope that LG will continue releasing updates for fluidity and speed of the system even without launching v5.1. :/
Maybe with G4
Could it be that LG is launching G3 5.1 update along with the presentation of the G4?
Why would they?

In the presumed leaked photos of the presumed G4, it uses 5.0.2, so LG will take time before using 5.1
Glad they will soon push 5.0.2 though!! Finally a RAM fix!!!

We have a chance for N

Today i see someone succesfully boot Android N on Xperia L. Which is Xperia L has a same proccesor with Redmi 1S (snapdragon 400) Maybe we can port the ROM into our device. What do you guys think about?

As far as I could gather, yes, it is possible to get Nougat.
Things we will NOT GET, because of the GPU we have are: OpenGL 3.1 / Vulkan. Those two are only embedded in Adreno 400 and upwards.
This would mean that there is a chance for problems with games that might migrate above OpenGL 3.0 (which we have).
As far as I'm aware, the differences between 3.1 and 3.0 are in the addition of new libraries, so if the game needs those new libraries 100% and doesn't offer a fallback option, we won't be able to play them.

Actually not a problem of xiaomi but of **** Google.
This is Android (and OEMs and Qualcomm) not looking far ahead to support devices. They don’t care about customers. After sale support non-existent.
Why is Apple able to support iPhone 5s (same age as Nexus 5) with iOS 10 and later? Because Apple made it compatible with METAL apk from day 1. Because it has hardware encryption since day 1.
Why is Apple able to support iPhone 5 (4 years old) with iOS 10? Because Apple is willing to!!! IPhone 5 does not support METAL nor does it have ARMv8 chip…yet iPhone 5 is getting iOS 10…minus raise to speak to Siri…it is getting 99% of iOS 10 features.
Remember, major software updates also bring with it security features beyond “monthly patches.”
So, with all the resources of software (Google) and hardware (OEM’s and Qualcomm), Android cannot support Nexu 5 and the likes?! It is like buying a laptop (since most phones cost the same) and can only use it for 2 years. That’s insane!
When will Android community wake up and demand more? Google, OEMs, and Qualcomm will only listen if money talks.
And it is this crap that explains horrible re-sale value of Android flagships!

Lineage 14 for Galaxy Nexus

Any chance of getting Lineage 14 for the Galaxy Nexus or is the phone too slow and RAM memory too limited for this version of Android?
Any developer is allowed to build Lineage using the work done on Unlegacy. But this is hard work and everyone here is a volunteer. Unless you know someone who can help, the best you can do right now is running Unlegacy. I don't know if there is any developer who will take a donation from you as a bounty to get if working, but you could message them to ask.
This thread is technically off topic for the development forum

There is also Unlegacy 7.1.1 for our GNex (that ROM was, in fact, my introduction to N on ANY hardware). So why am I not running it now? Simple enough - PureNexus 7.1.1 includes both the Pixel Launcher AND Google Assistant (which can be run together or separately; I run them as a tag-team). At some point, I hope to ambush some unsuspecting Pixel or PixelXL owner with my GNEX.

No idea - it is included WITH the 7.1.x ROMs (both 7.1.0 and 7.1.1). There are ways to add it to 6.x (or even 5.x) - still, I like 7.1.x because it actually feels more *whole* with both PL and Google Assistant in place - which is why I am still hoping to find a Pixel/XL owner to ambush here in VZW turf.

Just remain patient.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus (i9250, "maguro") is pretty similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300), which already got LineageOS nightly. They're very similar phones when it comes to features and exterior. Both have 720p AMOLED screens, front-facing and rear-facing cameras, approximation sensors, light meter, earpiece, microphones, headphone jack in exactly the same places. Both feature 1 GB RAM and 16 GB eMMC. Both have HSPA+, but no LTE. They're also just half a year apart concerning their age (December 2011 vs. May 2012). They both feature an ARM Cortex A9 processor, though they utilize different SoCs (GNex = TI OMAP 4460, S3 = Samsung Exynos 4412).
The G-Nex seems to have a larger user base than the G-S3.

Should I get Honor 8 Pro ?

Hi, I am planning on getting the Honor 8 pro by the end of this week.i came up with a few doubts. I am switching from Moto G4 plus to Honor 8 pro and the EMUI thing has got me concerned.
1. Is it by any chance as good as the near stock android like feel of Moto G4 plus?
2. Is there a way of getting stock android in it without bricking my phone?
3. I just received the June 2017 security patch for Moto G4+ and it got me wondering, how will I receive these updates if I somehow manage to get stock android on Honor 8 pro?
4. I can even work with near stock like ROMs , like oxygen OS or CynogenMods or anything similar, but then, how long will be my wait before I get my hands on Android O after it is released. Is the Honor developer community very active? Or should I stay with EMUI expecting office releases?
5. I am not planning to get another phone for next couple of years and I am tight on budget. Am I doing the right thing by going for his phone instead of say 1+5 or LG G6 ? Or should I wait a few more weeks/months to get another "flagship killer" to be launched?
I am not very familiar with rooting and stuff so if anyone could guide me towards some resources to read about these, it will be great. Preferably Honor phones related rooting.
Thankyou in advance

I would love to have OP5 but I am really really tight on budget, even 30K is stretching me too far from my budget. I just want to make sure that it's worth it. I am not a flasholic, I flash once in like 6 months, just to test out some other ROMS, just want to ensure that I won't have to dig the depths of the internet to get a compatible ROM.

I rather enjoy having more functions then stock android. This is not Samsung or LG amount of bloatware or wierd functions, but rather small improvements. Still fast and lagg free and I have no doubt it still will be in a couple of years.
The screen, looks & build quality and battery life are stuff that really impress and makes this a "flagship phone /killer". Also quite future proof specs.

Just for everyone to know, I finally bought Honor 8 Pro, and so far I am very happy that I did. Thank you all for the replies.
I even dropped the phone once from a height of around 4 feets (Unintentionally ofcourse) and apart from having a little paint removed from the top, everything is fine. Guess the build quality is good enough.
I remember reading about having a software upgrade soon on 25-26th of this month. Anyone has any update on that ?

Yes, this is great, not bad at all. I am just worried about the updates now, that's all. Other than that, EMUI is pretty sleek.

Even i am skeptical of installing it. I am using a Huawei device for he first time and thus don't know how to revive it if something goes wrong.
I made a seperate thread regarding updates. I will try to find some more info about how to install it.

any reason for preferring stock Android? what do you expect from "stock" experience? smoothness? or an Android without any extra features? and why?
EMUI has got it's own pros & cons.. there are some really good things that Huawei has implemented into the OS. there are also some quirks that they've never gotten to fixing..
in terms of security patches.. Huawei and honor, sadly, can be a bit slow. maybe like once every 3-6 months once.
but personally, I'm not too worried coz in the end, if you practise safe use, not an issue. before I got my honor8Pro, I was using Note 2.. and well, what security patch? haha..
wait a little

Moto g5s and s+ are one the way ... so might as well wait for them, and few other noteworthy devices are getting released, there's been meizu with dual screen.... I use honor8 pro... it has all the premium features on surface.... but not mind blowing, good cam, better screen , thin profile, premium finish and attention to detail are few highlights, but expected a lot more from emui, no native equalizer though dts certified, knuckle knock for screenshots works at its own will, not many customized options in features, only reason I'd go for non stock Android phones ks their skin embedded features whereas on stock Android you'd need an app..
Another noteworthy omission is no photobackup on huwei cloud, and system state backup seems to be non existent as well...
Few more points to consider is how Future proof is your phone, because you'd expect some resale value right.. from 30000 the fall of price might be steeper, so consider it all and jump the boat, meanwhile if you do buy honor 8 pro do get back with your opinion about the device and any good things you've discovered about it... it'd be nice to compare

Android O based Custom ROM coming soon!

Android O has already booted on g5 plus somewhere!
(Looks like vache is working on a Android O based custom ROM.)
Exciting!
Maybe its just me, but Oreo seems to be progressing a lot faster for non nexus devices than previous android versions. Can't wait.

Yup one of the feature is easy migration and seems like not lot of changes too.
This is just a start, a good one. Apparently, there are many bugs to be fixed. Also, I wonder whether Treble will be integrated (or we have wait till Motorola's official release)
This looks promising. Thanks for sharing
Moto G5S plus is running android 7.1.1 (INDIA) out-of-the-box and here we are still running 7.0
why this partiality? or lack of team?
we are thinking of Android O huuh!

Moto G5 Plus and Moto G5S Plus have the same firmware. The difference lies in screen size and camera.
So it will not be difficult for Lenovo to update Moto G5 Plus. But I don't think Lenovo will update Moto G5 Plus with even security patches, Android version upgrade seems impossible.
for those who canr wait to check.
