There was a thread here about N5 being based on motoX and another one on G2..
why would you make another thread? do we really need a bunch of posts saying the same thing?
Besides, unless you have solid info, your title is VERY misleading

rumors are only rumors not facts. Don't believe caca!

The source is a forum post at The Verge? I think we should just wait until there is a real rumor based on actual information before wasting our time discussing this.

Forget speed worry about battery innovation and utilize the front bezel as a solar panel

I stopped reading at "unreliable sources said".

As long as this thread is still open, I'll chime in. All I really want in the next Nexus is a better camera than the one the N4 is cursed with. Anything else would be gravy.

I hope it isn't 5 inch screen. Don't know what peoples fascination with bigger is better. I hope it stays under 5

If it will be Motorola, I hope it will sell in EU too !!!

Not sure why there is a need for a Google Edition Moto X, the phone is pretty much AOSP with a few tweaks.
In my opinion tweaks for the better.

This. I'm really wanting the next Nexus device, but if it is larger than my One X I won't even consider it. I'm about to buy the Nexus 4 just so I can have a Nexus phone that's a manageable size. I'd actually love for the new Nexus to be Moto X based, but I highly doubt it. Droid Mini would be even better. Damn Motorola and Verizon for locked bootloaders!
Edit: And now I'm the proud owner of a new Nexus 4. The price drop was irresistible.

[Q] Other OS?

I know my moto x android version works flawlesly out of the box with some xposed mods just to personalize it, but today I decided to check the development section to see if there are some cool and interesting things to flash.
To my surprise I haven't seen much action there, I would have expected some port of firefox os or at least ubuntu (like there was for the Samsung Galaxy SIII) why is that? I'm not a developer so unfortunately I lack the knowledge to do something like that or I would.
Are there really no moto x owners wanting to try some (probably broken ) alternative OSes?

If you lack the knowledge, learn lol.. Not all of the Moto x can get an unlocked bootloader so development is restricted or limited to a certain extent for some devices like the Verizon Moto X or the ATT version . But even though that's no excuse, most people prefer stock and decide not to go through the hassle of porting a different OS. Just my opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

Lack of interest, most likely. Firefox OS is a little pointless on devices with the hardware spec to run Android without batting an eyelash. As for Ubuntu Touch, there are a lot of devices not seeing it just due to a lack of interest in the OS itself from a lot of people (sadly). Only the most popular devices are likely to see ports of it.
That being said, I'd love to see Ubuntu Touch on Moto X, it's one of a few reasons I originally considered getting a Nexus 5 when i decided to get my Moto X.

Any non stock based ROMs we have still have major issues after a year.....can you imagine the issues with anything out of the ordinary like Ubuntu, Miui and other very different systems.
The X is just not a phone for developers or flashaholics. Its best run stock, (or stock based roms) maybe with Xposed for extra features. No one wants to lose their moto features either, and you only will have those on stock or stock based ROMs.
Things may change after the X stops getting updates. You may see more development then.

I have always wanted to run Ubuntu touch. I am trying to get it to work on my Samsung note pro but the selinux enforcement is a road block.

There's definitely a strong incentive to stay stock on the X.....but it didn't cure me unfortunately. I gave it to my wife, got an N5, installed multirom and have 4 ROMs installed on it as we speak. Lol

N5 is really tempting (or it would be if I wasn't on Verizon).

Moto X Active Display (Request)

I came from a Droid Maxx. I loved the active display feature and it's the feature that I miss most from my Maxx. Has anyone gotten Moto X's or Droid Turbo's Active Display to work with our N6? I realize there are apps in the Play Store that somewhat do this but they aren't the same.

With the new Motorola X Pro on the horizon which appears to be the clone of the Nexus running stock Moto software I don't expect many devs to bother porting it over. I think they will wait till it releases and port over bits from the framework to make it easier.

If we can get a system dump then it should be possible. I think devs will want to port features over and incorporate them into their ROMs.

If they can't post it I hope they are able to port the entire ROM. It would be so nice to run the stock Moto software as it will probably be Lollipop and include stuff like the Active Display, camera software, Moto Assist and other stuffs

Its possible I suppose but we have to see what we can get our hands on. I suspect that you could run stock moto firmware on the nexus since it's virtually the same device. The ROM will probably need to be modified in some way to do this if its even possible but I feel like the features will be ported before a whole ROM is

um, doesn't the Nexus have active display? mine acts just like my motox

It has Ambient Display, which I believe is not exclusive to the N6 but built into Lollipop and only active for compatible hardware. It is also slightly different as Moto Display will continue to flash, or "breathe", the latest notification till you view or dismiss it. It is also heavily optimized specifically for the Moto X hardware and screen technology which makes for great battery life.

That's correct only AMOLED screened devices have the ambient display. My Nexus 9 did not have it in the display settings. Since the Nexus is a Motorola device and the same exact specs as the X Pro we can assume that there will be some porting done. There is a OP discussion Moto X Pro in the Q&A section if you want to check there.

I cant wait till someone ports it over, would love to see MOTO X features on my Nexus 6

I'm definitely for this, even if it's a pipe dream. It would be awesome to have the moto display instead of ambient display, it's much better

Things like this can be extremely difficult. Often the people who would like them to happen don't have the skills (or the inkling to learn) where as the people with the skills (or inkling to learn) don't care or want to get involved. Its quite rare that skills and would like meet up in a single person.

What's the software like on Moto's Moto x pro?

Near stock android but with very useful features

What I meant was I believe the Moto X pro is the Nexus 6 with Moto software. If someone makes a ROM from its system dump, maybe we could have all the Moto features.

Yep waiting for that too haha even looking on baidu to see if I get anything

Does anyone have the Moto X Pro? Because I can't find a system dump for the life of me! I want to port Moto Display so fast

It looks like it was released recently

The moto x style?

Hi,
I'm just wondering if when the moto x style gets the software available, do you think we might get a ported ROM or at least ported apps?

There's a few threads about this. Here's just one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3116578

Ahh thanks for the reply. That'll teach me to look first.

I wonder if the devs would have a better chance with the moto x style just because it'll be easier to obtain here in the states versus the moto x pro. I mean I'd stay with my nexus6 if I could get the moto enhancements. I just have my doubts. If it hasn't been done already, I'm starting to doubt it ever gets done.

Why would you think it would be easier to port from the Style than from a Moto X 2nd gen?

Moto X Pure ROM port to Nexus 6

Has anyone seen a Moto X pure ROM port for Nexus 6? I've looked everywhere, nothing shows up.

A port of a rom from a device that nobody even has yet? That would be impressive.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

Its completely different hardware. People could not even port the Moto X Pro to the Nexus 6 and those are the same device.
This is not ever going to happen.

Never say never in the android world. If miui, flyme, and other different os can be ported over to different phones then it is possible. Just gotta have the right amount of interest

Don't have Mui yet and have no clue what Flyme even is. So have a long wait coming unless you got a dev in your pocket.

There was a thread a while back where a few users were trying to port the OS from the Moto X Pro, but there didn't seem to be much interest in it so it died.
Since the Moto X Pure is running proprietary closed source software, on completely different hardware, I bet that there won't be a ROM port. Some apps maybe, but definitely not a full ROM. Very rarely do full closed sourced ROMs get ported between devices. And even when they do, there often are issues (performance or things just not working).

Jeez, dude. The X Pure hasn't even been RELEASED yet. Patience.

I heard the ROM for Moto X Pure is pretty awesome. In the past, ROMs have leaked from devices when the device isn't even out. I don't know why there is a surprise I asked this? I just thought someone had more info then others. We will wait and see if anyone does decided to do something with it.

I agree! I would like to see this ROM and use some of the Moto apps on the N6.
