Now my phone will not boot. It is stuck on the LG logo. I don't know if it was because of that line I changed, or gapps 4.4 was installed to Android 4.2.2, since CM11 failed. Should have just installed one image at a time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellopuddingstick:
Can you get into recovery? Otherwise, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypersonic1:
I can enter into download mode by holding down the volume up button, but I do not know how to enter recovery mode with this phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellopuddingstick:
"Volume down & Power, when the LG logo appears release and press them again, then press the Power button three times" (from the cyanogenmod wiki)

Assuming you can get into recovery, flash either cm-11-20131206-NIGHTLY-d801.zip or cm-10.2.0-d801.zip and let me know what happens. Don't even worry about gapps right now.

EDIT: here's a video showing how to boot into recovery
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypersonic1:
Thanks. I got into recovery. I will just stick with cm-11, since they both fail anyway.

I am still getting this is a g2 error.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellopuddingstick:
If you'll give me a minute, I can patch the updater-script to have the correct checks (as per the other variants) and upload it for you. You should be able to adb push it to your phone while it's in recovery, flash, and be good to go.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypersonic1:
Okay. Thank you very much.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
this is why i tell you not to change build.prop, its most likely because of that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellopuddingstick:
While that's happening, let me just walk you through what the issue was and what I'm doing, so that you can avoid it in the future.

Basically, Android phones have a file called build.prop that holds some basic identifying information about the phone. This file is often edited, as G1_enthusiast noted, by people looking to achieve UI changes, by editing the pixel density. In the build.prop file, there is a line named "ro.product.device", and the value of this line is checked by the ROM when you flash it.

On a stock device, the value of this line is "g2", as is the case for your phone. The ROM is supposed to let either "g2", "d801", or "galbi" be acceptable values, but for whatever reason, it's only accepting "d801".

Inside of every .zip you flash in recovery, there is a file called updater-script stored in the directory META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. This is what your recovery is executing when you flash the zip. Currently, the first line of this file is:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d801" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d801" || abort("This package is for \"d801\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\"."););

It should be:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d801" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d801" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "g2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "g2" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "galbi" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galbi");

So I'm making that change, and then re-ziping the ROM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypersonic1:
Thank you. I thought I changed the value to d801, and pushed the file. I don't understand why the phone would not boot afterwards.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypersonic1:
I tried changing it myself, but now I get this error:

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

I suppose there is more to it than I thought.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellopuddingstick:
Just letting you know that I haven't disappeared, I should have my modified version up shortly. Hopefully it works for you.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypersonic1:
Okay thanks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellopuddingstick:
Here, give this a shot. Use adb push to get it on your phone, do a factory reset in twrp, and then flash it from the install menu.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellopuddingstick:
No problem. Going forward, you should be fine installing the regular zips from here, as the installer should have made the appropriate changes to your build.prop. Enjoy KitKat!

Dude, you are on crack, I had 3 or 4 different ROMs fail because my build.prop was messed up. It's pretty important.

Are you finding consistent performance with this app when set to dynamic? I'm running Malladus on my Verizon G2 and find that it's perfect like 95% off the time, but it sometimes gets stuck on a brightness level and I've got to open the dashboard for it to auto-adjust.

I've noticed this as well, only happens on occasion.

I have since changed my settings to only set the brightness when I turn the screen on. I figure I don't really need it set to dynamic since I'm not moving around much between brightly lit and dimly lit places.

Thanks but it didn't work
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
There aren't a few ways to root the phone, there are two. If you're unlocked you can flash a SU .zip or use a utility, or if you're locked you can only use a utility. Be careful using random exploits, that's the quickest way to make a brick.

Try it again. The Motochopper for your system version is in that utility, theres no other root option out there. Motochopper 1.3 is the root utility for your system version, but the links for the stand alone script have been taken down because too many people were trying to use it on the newest OTA and bricking their phones. FYI 9.20.1 is rootable.

[Moto X General] Toxicoblivion:
If anyone has made this specific switch, I'd be grateful to hear your opinions!

Also, should I wait until March and see what comes out and then make the switch? (my next upgrade would be December 2014) or just switch now? Keep in mind I'd have this till next December! :)
[Moto X General] rickyoon.vegas:
HTC flagship 2013 vs Motorola flagship 2013.

They're in the same league. It's not really of an upgrade.

What makes Moto X different than any other flagship phones is the Active Display and Touchless Controls.

Those features makes it stand out from the rest of the phablets.

If you MUST have Active Display and Touchless controls, then sell One and get Moto X.
[Moto X General] Springy_Minaj:
Literally just made the switch and I'm loving it. I'm on Verizon so this is the closest I can get to a pure Google device.
[Moto X General] Toxicoblivion:
Biggest intial pros and cons? :)
[Moto X General] RyanTX:
I just did that switch on Verizon. I like the size and feel of the x better and of course all the touchless and active display stuff is great. Only thing I like about the one is the boom sound and aluminum chassis.

Physically, this x feels similar to my old gnex, which is a good thing.
[Moto X General] enik_fox:
I made the switch from the One to the Moto X (kinda got a weird call from HTC asking me why I switched) and I wouldn't look back. Actually used my one for a few days last week and I went right back to the Moto X
[Moto X General] c19932:
pros of htc one:

better processor

better screen

ir blastor

speakers

audio quality

pros of moto x:

smaller phone

active notification

touchless control
[Moto X General] ericshmerick:
Do it. My HTC One will be on Swappa in a few hours.
[Moto X General] Rebel908:
I did this. Got rid of my One thinking that I'd move to T mobile from Verizon, but I love being on the Moto X.
[Moto X General] qbanlinxx:
HTC One may have a better processor per say, but the Moto X hands down is much smoother and faster then HTC One. Speaker sound is equivalent on both. Battery life seemed a little better on the One, that would be my only gripe.
[Moto X General] karn101:
Same here.

Cons are the speakers. You just can't beat the One's audio quality.

Haven't noticed any speed differences. If I do a benchmark test, it's obvious, but moving around the UI and opening apps is the same.

The camera is so-so. In KitKat, you can move around the focus reticle which is pretty sweet as you aren't tapping around trying to get the right lighting. I'm leaning towards the One as having the better camera, but it's a slight lean.

I've always preferred stock android and the Moto X is the closest I'll get to it on Verizon.

Also, of important note, the Moto X supports Band 4 (AWS). I live in NY and in the city (Manhattan), Verizon's LTE is pretty awful. Once Band 4 is activated, this will definitely help. The One does not supports AWS.
[Moto X General] Toxicoblivion:
How does the screen compare? Does the AMOLED help battery life paired with the lower resolution?
[Moto X General] EeyoreSyndrome:
I sold my T-Mobile HTC one on swappa for $365 and bought the republic wireless moto x for $299.

I love the amoled and active display very much. Sound is still comparable. Tho I wish more phones would have front facing speakers!

Camera is worse but who honestly takes professional quality pics on a phone cam anyway.

I only really want data when im at work or home and have WiFi there anyway. So the $10 cell/text plan will save me oodles!
[Moto X General] MaKTaiL:
Better processor != Smoother experience.

And they both have the same GPU.
[Moto X General] nvertigo:
I have and love the Moto X, but honestly switching from the HTC One would be quite the downgrade. If you love AOSP then you can flash GPe, cant you? I would've gotten an HTC One in a heartbeat if the cyber monday deal had been for it instead of Moto X.
[Moto X General] Toxicoblivion:
Why do you say it would be a clear downgrade?
[Moto X General] RyanTX:
Flashing the GPe on a vzw HTC one - been there done that. There are things that don't work. Sick of going to Roms where almost everything works. I just want everything to work.
[Moto X General] herzzreh:
Rule #1 in technology: there's always something better coming, buy what's available now.
[Moto X General] SubliminalME:
I switched. One is a nice phone but Moto x is better, imo.
[Moto X General] Toxicoblivion:
Same here. Done the GPe, CM, ARHD, PA, none of them are perfect. A lot are close. But none work 100%.
[Moto X General] Rebel908:
BIG DISCLAIMER - DID THIS ON VERIZON

I don't think AMOLED really helps battery life as much as resolution does.

Resolution is somewhat noticeable. I've been using the GEL and the bigger icons don't benefit from smaller resolution. There will be some hit or miss spots on resolution, but that's mostly up to your eyes. Granted I'm borderline glaucoma suspect in my right eye so maybe you might not want to take my advice on resolution lol.

As for one of your other posts, I don't think there is a clear downgrade from the One. I'm not convinced 1080p was that much better, I haven't had any instances where I said , "I wish I still had the Snapdragon 600 instead of this Moto X8" and I actually am fairly impressed with the speaker on the back.

My ownly tangible disappointment isn't even with the phone itself, but that its rather hard to find accessories. No tempered glass. I had a hell of a time finding a hard clear case. Screen protectors are janky.

IMO battery life is tremendous compared to One. I had problems with my One getting to 8 or 9 hours of battery without having less than 2.5 hours of on screen, with WiFi on. So ultimately YMMV but its potentially worth it.

If your GSM carrier I see no reason why to not go Nexus. I wouldn't do this for Sprint because the Sprint Moto X is SOL on 4.4 right now. This is Verizon's best phone bar none.
[Moto X General] Slack3r:
The Moto X is a better phone, but it's not enough that I would switch from one to the other. One thing you can always try is flashing your HTC One to the Google Play version, I was actually really tempted to get one and do that until the Moto X went on sale.
[Moto X General] Legaleye3000:
On T-Mobile, just ordered a Moto X (still subject to return though...). My wife got a Moto X and she LOVES it more than any phone she's had. The only thing I'm going to miss is the WIFI CALLING on T-Mobile! It comes in handy when you're in an area with no coverage but has wifi.
[Moto X General] mpetruzz:
I always love to see threads where someone asks "should I get this phone or that phone or wait for something better". When it comes to tech if you wait for something better then you're ALWAYS going to be waiting!! No matter what phone you get its going to be yesterdays news in a few months.

To answer your question about the One vs Moto X, I'd say go with the X unless you plan on staring at the screen trying to tell which one is better. The screen on the One is better, but unless you have them side by side you will be perfectly happy with the Moto X.

The absolute horrible camera on the One was the main thing that made me switch to an X.
[Moto X General] Toxicoblivion:
Thank you so much to everyone who has posted. I see a lot of very very positive opinions to make the switch, and that seems good to me. Is there anyone however who can give me a point of view AGAINST getting a Moto X? I'd like to see comments from both sides :)
[Moto X General] Toxicoblivion:
Anyone who has made a custom motomaker X, what colors did you pick? And is it worth the extra $100 to get a customized X online, or should i just get the all black for $60 at costco?
[Moto X General] Slack3r:
I was going to get a black front with the "woven" black back and yellow buttons, until the dev edition went on sale and I just ended up with that one. As for customization it's all personal preference really, and it won't make much difference if you plan to have it in a solid case. If you plan to have it in no/clear case, then it's a nice way to show off a relatively unique phone, especially when no other manufacturers that I'm aware of offer this type of customization.

It is also technically possible to swap out the back cover yourself later down the line if you're unhappy with it, but it involves playing the eBay lottery and involves some removal of glue.
[Moto X General] Legaleye3000:
I just got my Moto X, coming from an HTC ONE (T-Mobile)... First, my wife loves her MOTO X. She has had it since it first came out and swears by it. I liked the active display and "always on" voice commands, as well as, the sleep notifications at night, etc. After opening my Moto X last night, and still playing with it this morning, it just doesn't feel as "premium" as my HTC One. That may not matter to many, as I believe its a preference thing. The software is pretty much pure stock. But I actually like Sense 5. I miss the Sense 5 keyboard, the little "1" notifications on the email and sms icons when I have a message (vs. stock, which shows an icon in the top bar). Also I'm losing wifi calling, but I already knew that before ordering.

The Moto X is for sure a solid device, but my personal preference (without realizing until now) may be Sense and the One's premium feel/look. The customization of the X is cool, I just like how the One feels in my hand better (I know others before me say the opposite...). I'll keep playing with it for the rest of the week and see if my preference changes to Moto X.
[Moto X General] Toxicoblivion:
Please do tell me how you feel after a few days, its nice to hear someones PoV from this side too. I enjoy Sense and the all metal body of this phone, but i knew in getting it no other phone would replicate that after. If you can report on general battery life, thatd be nice too. :)
[Moto X General] Toxicoblivion:
No swapping or anything for me. Id mess up and thatd be the end of it. I feel like ill settle on the all black/ all white, unless motomaker has a good sale in the next couple days on the customized ones. :P
[Moto X General] Legaleye3000:
Just from seeing my wife's Moto X, the batt is GREAT! But I'll see how my own phone's batt life is after a few days... When I first got the One, batt life was horrible! But after they updated it, I found that my batt life improved. Biggest loss to me is wifi calling (comes in handy every once in a while for me).
[Moto X General] Toxicoblivion:
I have AT&T, so never been able to enjoy the Wifi Calling luxury :P and im glad to hear that the battery life is fantastic :) thatd what im looking for. Im tired of being attached to a cable in the middle of the day. I want a phone thatll make it through school, to home, and out and back home again without a charge someplace in between.
[Moto X General] mfc1288:
I JUST got my X in today.

Luckily for me, I'm not switching from a One, but from a OneX running AOKP.

I'm playing around with it and by far can tell I much prefer the Moto X.

I'll definitely keep an eye and let you know down the road.
