Android Nougat - Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion

Will Moto G⁴ play receive Android Nougat

Yes, but you're asking in the wrong section. There's a question and answer sub forum.
The Harpia(g4 play) will get nougat within the next 60 days.

So I'm unlocked rooted Xposed, so I'll be wanting to download full ROM and just not flash data.
Are the full ROM online? I not owned Moto before

You'll have to wait for someone to create a custom rom or learn to build it from source yourself

You misunderstand. Currently I'm rooted so Moto won't allow an OTA to N. So I must go back to MM stock first, when Moto release N.
So my question is more how do you go back to Moto stock.
My question was NOT about custom rom N (which you replied correctly to build or wait for a builder).

It's out for G4 and G4 Plus, when it's coming to us?

Already been confirmed

Same issue here.
I want to buy this phone and root right away, but I have to know that I will be able to update to the official Nougat release once it's out, and for this, it has to go back to stock (recovery and all).
I found this mirror: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/harpia/official/RETAIL/
Is this the necessary file? How do you flash it?

I downloaded the zip I mentioned (corresponding to the version of the region, like XT1602) and I checked the files against the ones mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/manual-ota-update-process-step-step-t3206049.
They match. So I guess the process is the same, and we can use it to go back to stock when the Nougat OTA is out.

What about the Vulkan APi in the Moto G4 play?

I have the same question. I believe Motorola made a mistake by saying the G4 Play would get Nougat.

I also have questions about that.
I think Android 7.0 needs the Open GL 3.1 native support and the snapdragon 410 processor (with the Adreno 306 gpu) in the Moto G4 Play has support for Open GL 3.0, so it seems the G4 Play is not compatible with Nougat.
I'm considering buying the Moto G4 because it has a snapdragon 617 cpu and an adreno 405 gpu and definitely supports Open GL 3.1.

The problem is not necessarily with Nougat, but it seems the Open GL 3.1 or Vulkan API are now required for Google CTS (someone on reddit said this is related to the updates being bundled with gapps), so Motorola can't roll the official update.

Understood.
However, Google announced in 2015 that their platform would be supportive of the Open GL 3.1 ES for the newer cpu's going forward. The snapdragon 410 is a dinosaur by today's standard and even if Motorola rolled out the official 7.0 update to the G4 play I'm not sure the 410 would perform well with it.

Maybe. Not sure. I wouldn't count on getting the update though.
There is a soak test going on right now for the Moto G4 and G4 plus. I'm probably going to get the G4 so I can have Nougat and possibly Android O when it is released.

Android M for Moto G 2014?

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.

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

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.

Android O?

Hi,
I don't remember who initially made the Android 7 port to Moto X2, but I remember it was a good port...
Any thoughts to the Android O version?
As videos I've seen, seems to be really similar to the 7.0 version, so I guess it's the same drivers?
I hope we can get the O port, that first port from the 7.0 was my daily use and it was good.
I assume we will get Android O but it wouldn't be until Nov-Dec or early 2018. At that point this phone will be knocking on 3-4 years old and may be deemed obsolete. In the US we didn't even get marshmallow stock! So were already 2 versions up!
I think Moto X 2 could manage to live with a Stock Android O.
At this time, even "Android Go" would look so slim/lite for this device, which is stronger than the hardware Go is intented to work with.
The real problem would be that, almost for sure, Lenovo wont add any new "major update" (with its respective support) for Moto X 2. As our partner, shawndak, said before, some variants didn't even get Android M.
Would be an absolute surprise if we reach an stock Android O (or Go) for Moto X 2.
I know Lenovo would not put this update to the device, I'm asking for the guy who made the first 7.0 port to do this one to =D
I remember his port was very good... I've used several months before Cyanogen 14.1 was released because his ROM was more stable.
Most probably it will eventually get a Android O port, yes.
But I would be more interested in getting the Android N builds stable first hahahah

That depends on your concept of "stable". Even CM13.1 still got some bugs.

Don't think anyone is working on it. They are still trying to fix 7.0. There has been a test firmware released for the international variants, so they are busy making ROMs based on that in hopes that a final release comes out. Doesn't work for our phone though. A not so good thing is that lg has just said they are not supporting security patch updates for our phone anymore.

The LG G4 is on a confirmed list of devices getting Lineage OS 15 (Android 8.0 Oreo). It's only a matter of time
Currently no Oreo roms are available for LG G4.
It seems android o development for H815 and H811 is dead in the water.. Or am i wrong ? Is there anyone working on porting android o or is it hopeless?

Not shown here ---> Lineage OS 15 LG Devices
Development i think is done if enough people are using a particular device and H811 is falling in that regard/ now its at 245th place with 910 active downloads. So yeah like i said earlier its dead in terms of development. Also i found another thread for Oreo but that developer also bought a G6 so that project is dead too.

OK just talked to kessaras and he told me he is working on Oreo but he has no support and he is the only developer working on it so obviously its going to take a long time. But he is working on it.

Wear OS Android P

https://9to5google.com/2018/03/28/google-wear-os-developer-preview-1/
I hope we get the update.
When it becomes available...
I just ordered my LG watch sport and noticed that Google is releasing the Wear OS developer preview with Android P on only Huawei Sport 2.
I thought Google was a partner in the making of LG Watch 2. How then did they sideline them to go play ball with Huawei
Anyone knows why the LGWS is not receiving the developer preview early?

My guess is they LTE functionality. The Huawei watch 2 with LTE didn't get the preview either.

By the way, you know where I could find firmware files for this watch (for use with ADB sideload) ?

Do not mismach between "Wear OS" and "Home App" (and "Android plateform")
Old name for Android Wear Version is now "Home App" : V2.15 (so Wear > 2.0)
"Wear OS" new name for old "Android Wear". Current version 1.5
Android Plateform : Current Oreo 8.x
Do we have any news on this? Does someone know if there is something coming ?
I just got my update
Sent from my Mi MIX 2S using Tapatalk
For p. I doubt it
The just recently "Update" took the "Wear OS" to 2.1,
but it remains on Android 8.0, August Security Patch.
Android 9 certainly for next watch generation, not for ended life watch
