Android M for Moto G 2014? - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
There are rumours over the internet that Motorola might skip Android 5.1 update for Moto G 2014 and going for Android M/Android 6.0 update. Anybody have any idea about this? I have already started to wonder because Moto G 2013 received Android 5.1 update quite a while ago and all that Moto G 2014 got was Stagefright fix.

Moto g 2014 will get 6.0. We always have our devs :v

Yes please skip 5.1.1 and wait another half year for Motorola to release M for Moto G2, when the next Android version will be released by Google and skip Android M too. :good:

Google App Version 5.3
Please install the new google now launcher on play store, moto g 2nd gen.. vertical app icon nd search option is the new change
Devices with Android 4.4 and higher, reports say, are eligible to get the update. However, it was reported that only Android M preview 3 devices will experience the perks of the update.
A few months ago, the company announced that the Now on Tap feature would not be included in the Android M preview testers. The update though may imply that Google has changed its mind.
Meanwhile, the update also brings the vertical scrolling app drawer to the Google Now Launcher.

developers created 5.1.1 based roms while it wasn't rolled out by moto g, so will they get interest in developing marshmallow for our device?

Hell yeah. I don't care about the Moto update. We have a great community.

Well, finally we have the news. Motorola is going to provide Android Marshmallow update for Moto G 2014. Here is the link from Motorola official blog: http://motorola-blog.blogspot.in/2015/10/marshmallow-and-smore.html
The best part is, their software upgrade page now shows information about Android 6.x Marshmallow
Check it out here: https://motorola-mobility-en-in.custhelp.com/app/software-upgrade-news/g_id/2014
So most probably, we won't be getting any Android 5.1..1 update.

Well, Motorola has announced Android M/Android6.0 for Moto G 2014. It is on their official blog and you can check it here: http://motorola-blog.blogspot.in/2015/10/marshmallow-and-smore.html.
Also, their software upgrade page now shows information about Android 6.x Marshmallow

But what we need to keep in mind is that Motorola is very much slow when it comes to releasing updates. Nexus already got it, I am sure, like Android Lollipop, many of other devices would get it before Motorola releases.

Well, let's just look at the history:
Android 5.0: We got it after months after Google released it for Nexus.
Android 5.1: Nexus got it long time back, we didn't get that one.
Android 6.0: You say? maybe June 2016 or something

AOSP Rom Marshmallow for Victara

Can someone make an AOSP Based Rom with Marshmallow for Victara? Thanks:laugh:
Considering we literally only just got any build on the n6 I'd say give 1-3weeks for moto x and g
Yeah, its gonna take a couple weeks at least. Likely Motorola will release the update for the pure edition before someone builds it from source.

Yeah, we'll see. CM-13.0 has started being set up (all the Marshmallow AOSP stuff is merged) and today they seem to be working on a bunch of kernel-level stuff for Nexus devices. The 2014 Moto X might come soon but who knows. Also, who knows how long Motorola will take to push out that update. The 2014 Moto X got 5.0 within 2-3 weeks, but it took 3-4 months to get 5.1, so I just have no idea.

Moto app for custom ROM [6.0/6.0.1]

Is there any custom android 6 ROM that has Moto app? I meant THIS
OR, Does the ROM support the Moto features of :
Moto Display, Moto Voice, Moto Actions, etc... if you know what I mean. If so, give the link for that ROM
I can't afford to lose this, I love this mobile for those features.
OR ELSE, Is there a separate Moto app for a ROM, if so, please give the link for ROM with that Moto app
OR, Does the app directly from the Google Play Store works? If so, give the link for that ROM
Also, if you could give me the default CM13.0 link along with this, I'd be greatful
Here, the ROM I'm asking is totally Android 6.0, Marshmallow and the device is totally MOTO X (2013)
Thank you guys for the concern, you guys rock!
If you want to use Moto display, voice, and etc features, you should stay on stock.
There is no official CM13 for Moto X yet.
You can try Team octOS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/romghost-team-octos-oct-m-t3324780
Or search XDA forums for unofficial CM based marshmallow ROMs.

No, device support ended in 5.1.
And no custom 6.0.1 rom will have the Moto functions because that's proprietary and Lenovo won't release the drivers.

Fun Fact: CyanogenMod 12.1 is the latest CyanogenMod version available for Moto X, AND Moto G received 13 snapshot just a while back.

To be fair the 2013 Moto G was a much more popular device than the 2013 Moto X.
Even unofficial ROMs are becoming more rare to our device, I have a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and it received a very functional Nougat ROM just 5 days after official launch, meanwhile I don't see any interest from a kind developer in porting Nougat to our phone.
Despite that I don't see much reason to buy a new phone right now, my phone is fine even after more than 2 years owning it.

Any oreo info

Did someone get oreo update in moto g5s plus? Anywhere in U.S OR ANY Other region

Android Oreo isn't available for Moto G5s Plus.
They pulled the release notes down a few hours after they put them up. No one in any region, except maybe some Lenovorola employees under heavy nda's has android oreo on a phone. Even then, it's more likely that it's being run on a virtual machine emulating the g5s plus. We may see it later this month, but it's probably going to be closer to the end of July, early August if at all.
I got a fresh news about moto g5s plus oreo update.
its coming soon with android 8.0 not 8.1 because i chat with Moto today some countries was strted getting oreo update. And it is going to start in india soon.?
Okay. So provide proof of what you say. Otherwise it's just more noise.

No it is not recommended unless you're a registered user of MFN. It might be possible you'll not get official final update as you previously side loaded the Soak Test which was not intended for you.

As I wrote in a reply to your other post, you probably will only get updates if you're actually selected for this soak test. It's not enough to just be part of the MFN, you should have received a survey and a link to the test forums if you were formally selected. Also, you should be getting this update direct from Motorola if you are selected.
If you are not part of this soak test, you may receive no updates unless Motorola releases the OPS28.49-2 update as the official update to Oreo.
I think oreo 8.1 is only for mfn user and all people will going to get a security patch of june not Oreo 8.1. I am saying this because of this video. Link is here
Few seconds ego i got my phone update. It's just june security patch not the oreo.it is just 78 mb update.
Today! I got June 2018 security patch in My Moto G5S Plus, where is Oreo ????

It's wherever it is. You people are doing a lot of crying in a bunch of threads. Nothing one can do but wait.
Or buy a G6 and complain down the line, "Where is P ????"

I read about that and Moto X4 Android One will get 9.0 update sure.
The question is to know when X4's european owners receive this update.
According to Google:
"You’ll also get access to the latest updates from Android, such as Android Oreo before the end of the year. Android One moto x4 will be among the first to receive an upgrade to Android P."

We already know that Moto X4 equipped with Android One will have Android P update but the question is to know if Moto X4 with Android Oreo standard will receive Android Pie.
On the other hand, the Motorola's blog in order to know updates news is the worst place where you can get report updates as they do not report anything at all.
Well, it looks like Motorola's blog just announced that Pie will be available this fall:
"...Android Pie will be served up on the below Motorola smartphones starting this fall:
...
moto x4"
https://blog.motorola.com/2018/08/15/baked-android-pie-coming-motorola/
My bets are that:
1. This only applies to Android One. Regular X4s will get it next year.
2. "This fall" means by the end of the calendar year.

The american retail variant are receiving updates at the same time as the Android One does, I think Android Pie will come together, but only for the american variant.
