[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el77xamino:
hi!

i have a moto g on kitkat. i upgraded it via OTA. my device also have a locked bootloader and never been rooted before.

here's my question:

1.) is it possible to root my device on my current state? (with official kitkat rom via ota) if yes, how? or must i downgrade first to JB? if yes, how?

2.) is it possible to install a custom recovery with my current state without downgrading to JB? if yes, how?

thanks.

sorry for bad english.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Yes to both. Just unlock the bootloader and your good to go.

Hi I rooted my moto g yesterday and tested the infusion ROM. I wasn't a huge fan of the ROM so I flashed back to my stock, rooted backup and now I have a couple of problems:

1) under Settings- Storage its says that my total available space is 5.52gb, my currently available storage is 2.06gb but my apps (571mb), pictures (332kb), Audio (168kb), downloads (234mb) and cache (1.92mb) don't equal ~3.4gb. What can I do to fix this?

2) since rooting or flashing infusion (not sure which one, didn't test between) my camera gives me the message "your internal storage is running out of space...." When I try to take a picture.

oh yeah!? does anyone tried that with rootkeeper? I'm rooted and still waiting for OTA
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiger123uk:
I know everyone is gonna kill me, but believe me I have tried searching the forms etc, I just cannot find a simple answer to my question, so I thought I'd ask here. I am a slow learner btw so do cut me some slack guys!

Basically, I bought a Moto G from Tesco. Unlocked it, got rid of Tesco branding (updated ROM? i think), then I rooted it.

Now, today I received a notification to update to Kitkat. I tried updating it OTA but it didnt work. Now, I have a lot of files on my phone, so basically what Im trying to ask is:

How do I update to KitKat, and how do I do this without deleting any of my files?

Thank you so much guys

My Moto G has Android 4.3 and I saw for the first time a design feature (or a bug) that baffled me -

on an incoming call, only the top 1/3 or so of the contact picture is show, while the rest of the screen is black or blank !!

installing a full screen caller id app, took care of that, now the whole picture is shown.

Hi there.

So I need root for titanium backup and other stuff..

I went to motorola site to get unlock code and I got a note about REQUEST UNLOCK KEY. I clicked it but didn't receive any emails - 20hours from where I entered unlock data string. I bought motorola in EU amazon.co.uk.

When can I expect unlock key to arrive?

Is this for real? Is support for unlocking by Motorola discarded?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokkami:
As long as this device officially is listed as unlockable on Motorolas website i can not imagine that. I don't know where this rumor comes from but i read it a few times here on XDA. But what i know is that a lot of people were struggling to get the unlock code.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frojnd:
How did the people get unlock code? I need to root the phone.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

Alternately requesting for the unlock code on official Motorola site does not work for a great number of people. So how did users get unlock code?

OTA update does not work

Hi, today I got the message that 4.4.2 is available for my device, so I started the download an after that I agreed to reboot an install the update.

But after a while I got a short error message that the installation was aborted. I tried it several times but it didn't update.

My Moto G has an unlocked bootloader an is rooted. Is that the problem? What do I have to do?

Thanks for advice!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perseus:
Please OTA Rootkeeper app from play store. Once its installed, you can make a backup of your root and then temporarily Unroot your phone. After that is done, try the update again.

You should flash http://download.chainfire.eu/212/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip?retrieve_file=1 the SuperSu binaries. After that you install the SuperSu app from the playstore and your device is rooted. :)

You need to unlock the botloader via official way. Then you can flash Custom recovery. There's nothing special about CDMA versions in that regard.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] andykemp:
Be aware that I owned a set of these breifly and they do not activate Voice Dialing... So cannot be used with voice command.

The highly informative comment I got from Bluetake support was

And it took them 2 weeks to come up with that helpful statement!

If anyone finds some nice stereo BT headphones which support A2DP and still activate voice dialing do let me know!

Otherwise I did really like the BT450Rx...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StellaDel:
I'm looking at getting some headphones, so far I'm inclined to get either

i-Tech BlueBAND Bluetooth Stereo Headphones or Motorola HT820

Any opinions on both of these would be appreciated (positive / negative) as I'm hoping to do the purchase this weekend :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] eTiMaGo:
I have the HT820's, though of course they don't quite work fully with the Universal (no A2DP), but work fine as a normal headset. I just listen to music with the cable, which is a useful intermediary option.

The sound from the headphones is not too bad, many ppl say that in A2DP mode it's rather quiet, but wired, it's more than adequate. The one bad thing about them, though, is long term comfort. After about an hour, they pinch the ears a little too much, but you can shift their position every now and then and it's not too bad.

Introduction:

OK, I know there are already some guides on this, but since I've got some requests and saw people confused, so I'm making this really simple to follow noob-friendly guide. Well if you got any problems, just ask here :) Also a guide already exists about this but I thought of making this with some screenshots and easy to follow steps and more explaination.

This guide is applicable only to Apex/Nova launchers, since I find these 2 the best among all the great launchers out there. If I get time, I'll add for more :)

Stuff required:

# Android ADT bundle - This includes nearly everything thats needed.

# JDK - To run your eclipse

# Icons and Wallpapers and maybe some fonts - You can find many nice stuff here :)

# A good photo editing software is RECOMMENDED. You can use PhotoShop but if you are new, I'd recommend GIMP(google it).

# Some patience and ability to use google search.

Instructions:

0. Make sure JDK, SDK and eclipse are properly setup.

1. Download the base template from here and extract it.

2. Now open eclipse.

For windows

-

For linux

-

3. Now from the eclipse menu bar, click on File.

4. Now click on Import.

5. Now under android choose Existing Android Code into Workspace.

6. Now click on Browse and navigate and select the Apex Sample Theme folder and click OK.

Optional: Check "Copy Projects into Workspace" if you want.

7. Now click Finish.

8. Now the first thing I recommend you is expand the Apex Theme Sample project and expand src folder.

9. Now right click on "com.yourname.iconpackname" and go to Refractor>>Rename.

10. Now rename according to your wish. Eclipse will automatically tell you if you do something's wrong with the name.

11. Now right-click on the main project and choose Android Tools>>Rename Application Package and write the exact same name as you did before. This will change everything according to your wish. But make sure to check the androidmanifest.xml as sometimes eclipse doesn't changes some stuff.

xx. After you do all this finally its time to start real theming.
[Nova Launcher] Abhinav1997:
Testing the theme:

There are 2 ways for testing your theme-

Way 1- Using the Eclipse Emulator:

Before you can run your application on the Android Emulator, you must create an AVD.

To run (or debug) your application, select Run > Run (or Run > Debug) from the Eclipse menu bar. The ADT plugin will automatically create a default run configuration for the project. Eclipse will then perform the following:

1. Compile the project (if there have been changes since the last build).

2. Create a default run configuration (if one does not already exist for the project).

3. Install and start the application on an emulator (or device), based on the Deployment Target defined by the run configuration.

Way 2- Using your phone(via ADB):

1. Enable USB debugging on your device.

2. Now connect your phone to PC via USB and ensure that your development computer can detect your device when connected via USB.

3. Now right click the project and select Run As>>Android Application.

4. Eclipse will recognize your device and prompt you.

5. Click on your device and select OK. Finally the theme will be installed in your phone.

You cannot release this app on google play since this apk is signed via debug key. So to be able to release it on google play, follow the below instructions.

Signing the theme:

Now to be able to published on google play this app has to be signed with a proper keystore, zipaligned, etc but eclipse's export wizard does it all.

If you want to change version name, change the following lines accordingly in your androidmanifes.xml-

android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0"

1. Select your project and click on File>>Export.

2. Now go through the export wizard and follow the instructions. I would recommend you to make a new keystore.

//Never lose your keystore or you wont be able to update your apps if the SHA1 keys dont match

3. Now when your apk is ready release it in your google play's developer account.

Also check this out.

I'm sure these glass protectors look good initially, but what I'd be interested in seeing is how they hold up long term after several months. My understanding is some of the cheaper glass protectors have issues lifting at the edges due to poorly made adhesive. I have an iLoome incoming and I'm worried even it will have lifting issues.

I'm going to have to invest although I can never get the damn things on without bubbles :crying:
[One (M7) Accessories] Mike02z:
Much sure you are applying in a relatively dust free area. Bubbles that won't come out are usually dust getting stuck between the screen and the protector. The glass protectors are less likely to get bubbles from non dust issues. I bought a MIME and while expensive at 25 bucks, it came with a tack sheet that removes any dust that you might not see.

If the cheap glass protectors work for you, great. 25 bucks is not a lot to spend on a 600+ phone in my opinion.

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 AM ----------

That is not a glass screen protector. I have had them. They are made of plastic. If you can get them on without bubbles, they work great but there is a stickiness to them that some like, I do not, so I wanted a real glass protector.
[One (M7) Accessories] khhhhris:
I like the water trick. Clean it up real good with the provided cleaning cloth and make sure its 100% dry. Then mist the screen with a spray bottle and apply the screen protector. Use the card to work out bubbles. Works every time.
[One (M7) Accessories] Mike02z:
I agree to a point. If even the smallest dust particle gets on the screen after cleaning it, you will get a bubble that is difficult, if not impossible, to remove. It is hard to have a "dust free" environement in a home.

The nice thing is I have wrecked a few of the plastic film protectors and the companies always just sent a new one.

I have had probably 20 devices over the past 2 years so I think I have tried about every brand of protector on the market :)

The glass protectors are the best for me. They feel like using the naked device. The plastic protectors always have a "sticky" feel to them and none lasted more than a few months before having issues with edge peel, discoloring, etc.
[One (M7) Accessories] Yorda30:
I had a Muvit Screen Guard for about 8 euro's.

It included two of these large protectors fitting screens up to 6.8" and you have to cut out to the right size yourself. They worked splendid for me. I sent in my HTC One for repair and the repair people scratched the screen, or rather the protector. Not a single thing on the real glass though so mission accomplished! And the scratches on the protector were pretty deep, so I agree. A cheap protector is just as good at protecting against reasonable damage done by keys or other sharp edges in say, your pocket or purse.

Now I'm using the screen protector the repair center included when sending my device back home.
