Custom ROM and Moto action - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

I have a moto x4 and I wanted to "rejuvenate" via custom rom since the official updates stop at Android 9. I saw that there are many custom roms. I was wondering if these roms allow the installation of the moto action, or if any particular one comes out with this function already inserted, or if I switch to a custom rom I have to give it up?

I'm using LineageOS 17.1 on my X4 and moto actions/gestures are included in the build. Not sure about other roms.

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

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.

[REQUEST] Moto G5s Plus Camera Port for All Custom Roms

Can anybody port the Moto G5s Plus Stock Camera for all of its Custom Roms ?
This would be really helpful as the main highlight of the phone is the Dual Camera enabling the user to use Depth Effect and many other features...
I'd like to bump this, while the gcam is nice, it's funky to work with or find a good one at best that works well.
At least if the stock gets ported, there should be a stable option.
I'm on an xt1806 running validus 16.4
As x64 roms are in testing phase Gcam is enough... So maybe.
This would be great! Hopefully, this will happen.
Since Official Oreo is coming to Moto G5s Plus...
Will now the Stock Camera be available on Custom Roms based on Oreo ?
You can flash moto camera in custom roms

Custom ROMs with OTA capabilities

Hello all. It's been quite a number of years since I've been in the custom ROM scene. Last I was around CM was the only ROM that had OTA functionality. I'm contemplating throwing a ROM on my moto g5s plus NA sanders XT1806, but at this point I'd like to have a semi - set it and forget it set up. Are there any ROMs available for this device that have a functional OTA system set up? I know I could install one by one and find out, but I'm hoping some users could chime in and save me the time. Searching there are no mentions of OTA in any of the ROM threads.
Thanks!

Pixel experience has a system update, but don't know if it's incremental or full or if it even works, never used it, or any auto updater.
AEX PE and Cosmic have OTA working, usually it's the defining feature in official/unofficial rooms right now.
I've used pe and aex's and I'm guessing cosmic works too.

Brazilian Sanders with Digital TV - Custom ROMs?

Hi,
In Brazil we have a Digital TV version of Moto G5S Plus.
I'd like to know if any of the custom ROMs available keep this feature.
Thanks in advance. :highfive:
My friend, I'm from Brazil, too. I believe there is no DTV in the custom Oreo roms because of the incompatibility with the current kernel used, maybe with the release of Oreo in Sanders some developer can work in support of DTV
Actually, several of the custom ROMs come with DTV. It's included on the ROM I'm on now (of course not working on my device and being in the U.S).
Devs have also been adding fixes so it might/should work.
Moto G5S Plus XT1806, OmniROM, microG (NoGapps), MultiROM, Tapatalk 4.9.5
There is actually. Pixel experience in its latest update has it working well.

ROM discussion

Mention best ROM in your opinion you have ever used till date on MOTO G5S PLUS
Also please try to mention XDA link for your respective ROM .
Not to sound negative or unappreciative, but literally none of them have worked for me in the USA with Sprint as my carrier. If I try to change the carrier settings to work better (or at all) with Sprint, carrier services stops working completely until I reboot. This is the same with literally all the ROMs on this site. I don't know if they're using wrong or very region specific proprietary blobs when compiling or what, but it's the same thing with all the ROMs, including popular "unofficial" ROMs like Dirty Unicorns, LineageOS, etc. It's been a very disappointing experience after upgrading to the Moto G5S Plus from the Motorola Nexus 6 where I had so many more (working) ROM options available.
So, my answer would be the stock ROM. I recently flashed back to stock, unrooted Nougat, took the Oreo update, and since there really aren't any working ROMs available for me, I didn't even bother to root again. Sprint added a free 50GB/month wifi hotspot to each phone on my account and the Camera 2 API is active in Moto's stock Oreo ROM. Those were my two main reasons for rooting, and they're no longer needed. So, I'm just running stock Oreo with Nova Launcher.
