trying that as we speak.. :)

EDIT: It worked! Maintained all my apps, but there are a couple of things that are still bugging me. Still have the carrier name on the notification bar and navbar doesnt get transparent (At least on APEX launcher, gonna try the stock one).

Was the OTA already available on your moto G (german version)?

I have the 8 GB german version and still no OTA update... so, i'll have to wait. :P

[Moto G Android Development] iKarlito:
I'd like to go back to an official german version. I flashed 4.4.2 US retail a week ago using the tut her on XDA. I am interested if it will work or not :)
[Moto G Android Development] neowlchaz:
So wait, does the German update have other languages included? I'm just wondering as I'm tempted to flash the updated 4.3.2 ROM from Droid-Developers to try and get the OTA.
[Moto G Android Development] miklosbard:
You have to go back to the stock german and apply the update there, otherwise will not work
[Moto G Android Development] krucymucy:
Why would you do that? Flash the US version instead.

hi, i need stock recovery and stock kernel to run the update from sdcard? have anyoane a link beaucause i didnt found any... thanks.. i am on stock de 4.3 firmware ...with unlocked bootloader and faux kernel tmw recovery
[Moto G Android Development] masteriori:
Did you flash your Tesco branded Moto G straight to 4.4.2 OTA (Retail.en.DE)? If so, how?

Thanks
[Moto G Android Development] neowlchaz:
I can confirm that my 16GB Moto G, which has its bootloader unlocked and CWM Recovery, and was running 14.71.8.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB rooted is now running the DE 4.4.2 update. What's more, the method I used let me keep all my apps and data!

Here's my process:

Download and extract the 14.91.11.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE ROM (from Droid-Developers) from its .tar.gz

Put the device in fastboot mode

Run "flashall.bat", which is located in the extracted ROM folder

Allow the device to fully complete flashing process, it should reboot the device.

Download the 4.4.2 OTA .zip file from one of the mirrors and put in the root of the device's storage

Reboot the device once more, and check for updates in Settings

The check should detect the 4.4.2 OTA .zip in your device's storage, which will prompt the install notice

Allow the device to update

All done, congratulations!

You will loose root if you use this method, and I'm not sure if you can re-root (most probably you CAN, though I'm no expert on these things).

EDIT: You can re-obtain root, using the same method as for the US ROM (here), I've just done so with mine.
[Moto G Android Development] gee2012:
I sideloaded (sorry old school :)) this zip (i have a Retail.en.DE device) and worked like a charm for me.
[Moto G Android Development] shamoney:
Check out neowlchaz post above, follow that process. That's how i did mine
[Moto G Android Development] japoina92:
+1 i do this process to and work fine :)
[Moto G Android Development] m3adow:
Try using Xposed Framework. There's a module for removing the carrier name (although it's branded for Moto X, works for Moto G as well) and a lot of modules for the navbar. One of them surely will make it transparent.
[Moto G Android Development] shure2:
Do we need to unlock the bootloader to install DE 4.3 and then the OTA update. Can someone point us to the DE 4.3 and a side loading (I guess adb) guide. Cheers
[Moto G Android Development] b1g1an:
As has been said a million times before, the transparency is a Nexus 5 thing, nothing to do with KitKat, and this is a Motorola rom not vanilla Android, albeit only lightly changed version, and they wanted the carrier in the status bar.

There are several different ways to achieve what you want but not keeping it bog standard.
[Moto G Android Development] saeed74:
What about lag and speed and multitasking on this update?!
[Moto G Android Development] jufa2401:
It's speed is pretty much the same as the US update.
[Moto G Android Development] saeed74:
No sir, i wanna know about it totally!

I want to know google was success in making android optimize for middle range phone?! Do it can be like ios? Or at l

east close to it?!
[Moto G Android Development] BBOXPT:
Good thing it was said a million times, because people running stock 4.4.2 DO HAVE "full transparent" navbar on lockscreen for example (seen various examples on google+ community page). Also the carrier name is not shown on the US firmware, hence my surprice.

Indeed, there are various ways to achieve that, ended up flashing Infusion ROM since it would take me almost the same ammount of work as just rooting the device.
[Moto G Android Development] strengthofmind:
I used the above process with total success, with a locked bootloader and no root (smax1991, shure2). One phone was Tesco branded, one was not, it did not make any difference (vlad1999, masteriori).

Kept all my apps and data. apk install works without google drive workaround, it did not before. ART works. (saeed74) phone is fast and smooth (I'd say better than before, as smooth as iOS). Notification bar, action bar both transparent fade to black with carrier in top left (looks good) (with GEL at least). Everything is in English, the full language pack is there. HSDPA shows up as H and H+.

Search Blur_Version.14.91.11.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE for German Retail, droid-developers is a fast host.

Blur_Version.174.44.9.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE is in the OP, d-h.st is also a fast host.

Didn't time the whole process but it was very quick and simple. I'd recommend it if you're worried about waiting for the upgrade.

Does not come with GEL. Search Google Experience Launcher 0.10.1.920880 for the apk if you want it (and turn on google now).

Hope this all helps.

[Moto G Android Development] (¯`·._.·[LaZaRuS]·._.·´¯):
I followed this point, right up to the letter. I followed your advice to use this method to get root:

I assume I'm following the above steps? - However, did anyone else get the 'Waiting for Device' message on the the first step (mfasboot flash motoboot motoboot.img)? - Or am I missing something really, ****ing basic?
[Moto G Android Development] nupi:
Not in bootloader?
[Moto G Android Development] (¯`·._.·[LaZaRuS]·._.·´¯):

Bootloader is the one with AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) on the top. (Volume and Powerbutton mode?)

[Moto G Android Development] _Drifter_:
Have a question: Now that the 4.4 Retail UK is out, and I flash the DE firmware, can I do this method but with UK firmware? I mean, downgrade to 4.3 UK (from 4.4.2 DE) and then do the 4.4.2 update?

I ask this because of the warranty, I bought the phone in Amazon UK, so if anything is wrong, showing a DE firmware I assume that I avoid the warranty because I change the software.

[Moto G Android Development] Benxter:
My MotoG came with 4.3 stock so I updated it with the zip file in this thread to 4.4.2. All was fine until today. I got the OTA message that a new kitkat build is available and it downloaded it (1.9MB), the phone asked me to install it and rebooted the phone. CWR came up and asked me if i want to install the update, I chose yes. CWR told me that root access might be lost and asked me if I want to recover root, i chose yes. Now CWR showed that it tried to install the update but aborted because the update is for falcom_umts but my device would be a xt1304 (if i remember it correctly.) My phone booted into the system and after a short while it just shutdown itself again and I was in a loop. So i had to be quick and deleted the OTA file in /cache/. at least the phone doesn't reboot itself now and I can use it again. No OTA update installed though. Can't image anyone else is not having that same issue. Anyone knows how to fix this?
[Moto G Android Development] schurl85:
ok, copied the file to the sd into a folder and started the update. --> bad decision. it tried to flash it with twrp, which failed of course. then i wanted to reboot into android. but when i'm in android it automaticly shuts down again and wants to boot into recovery. what should i do?

i tried to flash this recovery via fastboot

Don´t try to flash it through custom recovery, you need stock!
[Moto G Android Development] Benxter:
found this on another thread:

worked for me too. :)
[Moto G Android Development] drfr:
You can even avoid flashing stock recovery, just boot it like this:

fastboot boot recovery.img
[Moto G Android Development] schurl85:
tried that, but in stock recovery, there is an error and reboots to android, where it states the update failed. tried 2x times
[Moto G Android Development] Benxter:
try flashing stock recovery and reboot into system. then let the OTA download again and reboot if asked.

I've been searching for a car infotainment solution forever. Saw this video and spent countless hours trying to figure it out.

Short of buying a new head unit for my car, is there anyone out there that can explain how to do this?

Looks like it phone connects to a tablet running a single app. When connected they mirror each other. It would be nice to have a large display screen in a car or boat that could mirror the phone with touch controls. I found countless apps that will mirror but few with touch controls and those required wifi. Kind of hard in a car but possible.

They have another video showing the same mirroring on a linux machine.
